Mrs. Song was even thinner than the last time Gu Jing came to visit, her whole body was skin and bones, a pair of originally bright big eyes were even more empty and lifeless, with dark circles under them.

  Song Pan'er thought of the good things that Song Daitai usually did, and her heart felt sour, and her eyes became misty.

  Song Yu also felt unbearable watching it.

  Song Daitai was like two different people before and after.

  Last night, she took Zhang Yuan's medicine and Madame Song's headache was much lighter than usual, her eyes were no longer dizzy, and she looked more spirited than before.

  The symptoms have not alleviated much.

  She saw Old Man Gu and weakly called out "Father".

  Mr. Gu nodded slightly.

  Song Yu hastily ordered someone to bring them chairs to sit on and also instructed to serve tea.

  Mr. Gu waved his hand and said, "Let's take a look at the illness first." Then he turned his head and looked at Zhang Yuan without emotion, "Has Doctor Zhang made a diagnosis? I wonder if I can take a look?"

  Zhang Yuan felt a surge of anger in his heart: it had been a long time since he heard someone call him Zhang Daifu. He had been called the Divine Doctor for many years, and his reputation was well-known outside.

  This is taking advantage of being old!

  "Please, old man!" Zhang Yuan's face showed no emotion, his smile still warm and gentle, but in his heart he was coldly sneering. This kind of obscure and complicated case, Zhang Yuan had seen one example before.

  Mr. Gu may not have any means either.

  Let's see how this old thing makes a fool of himself later, let him put on airs for now! Zhang Yuan thought fiercely.

  Thinking of this, the anger in his heart was reduced by half.

  Mr. Gu sat down and focused on taking Madame Song's pulse.

  After a moment, he withdrew his hand and said to Mrs. Song, "It's nothing serious, just a few doses of medicine will cure it, Auntie can rest assured."

  Mrs. Song's eyes showed a desperate joy of survival, and she repeatedly said: "Thank you, dear father-in-law, for your kindness!"

  Mr. Gu nodded his head.

  "Shall we talk outside?" Old Master Gu said as he stood up, addressing Song Yu and Zhang Yuan.

  Song Yu agreed and personally helped Mr. Gu and Zhang Wan set up the felt curtain, with Gu Jin following closely behind, and the four of them went to the outer room.

  Song Pan'er and Gu Yanjun stayed behind to accompany Mrs. Song.

  After they sat down, the maid brought up tea.

  Gu Jin sat at his grandfather's lower table.

  Zhang Yuan looked at her face several times, and was surprised in his heart: since she is the niece, why isn't she following her mother in the inner room, but instead serving beside Mr. Gu? What kind of rules are these?

  Gu Jin also looked at him.

  The two exchanged a glance, and Zhang Yuan smiled faintly and looked away, thinking that this girl was only in her early teens and wasn't afraid of anything.

  "Respectfully, I have come to seek your guidance today. I don't know how Madame Song's illness is progressing, please enlighten me, sir. I am eager to learn." Zhang Wan said with great respect, but couldn't help stroking his whiskers.

  This is his subconscious action when he is proud of himself.

  Mr. Gu said: "I haven't taken a pulse for many years. Everything has its order, and I certainly wouldn't dare to precede Dr. Zhang's diagnosis. Let's still have Dr. Zhang speak first."

  At this point in time, if Mr. Gu had spoken first, what would Zhang Yu have said?

  It was he who came first.

  On this point, the old man was indeed kind. But what's the use of being kind if you don't have real skills? Zhang Yuan sneered in his heart again and said: "In my humble opinion, Mrs. is suffering from yangming reheat syndrome."

  Yangming refers to meridians.

  The Hand Yangming Large Intestine Meridian and the Foot Yangming Stomach Meridian. This means that Mrs. Song's illness is a problem with her intestines and stomach.

  In the past, most doctors also treated Mrs. Song in this way.

  "When the pathogen is on the surface, it should be treated with sweating. Ephedra can cause profuse sweating, I think it's suitable." Zhang Yuan said with a smile, "I don't know if Old Gu has a different opinion?"

  "Isn't it just a case of excessive sun exposure?" Mr. Gu's tone remained unchanged, with a hint of indifference. "I think it's because of the wind and cold that the mistress caught over a month ago, which led to dampness invading her body, dampness obstructing the middle burner, and damage to the spleen yang, resulting in poor spleen qi."

  Zhang Yuan almost burst out laughing.

  Look at Lao Ye's calm face, he thought what he said was so profound.

  Mrs. Song has a headache and constipation, how can it be said that the spleen is not smooth? It's simply a mismatch! No wonder Old Man Gu couldn't make a name for himself at Tai Hospital!

  "...... Mr. Gu, is this based on something?" Zhang Yuan suppressed a smile, his expression no longer showing humility.

  He was not a arrogant person, but he was extremely dissatisfied with Mr. Gu's attitude. Now that Mr. Gu has shown his shallowness again, he is no longer polite.

  Such a person actually made it to Tai Hospital, what great luck he has!

  Mr. Gu turned his face to Song Yu and said, "The prescription that Sister Jin wrote last time, I wonder if it's been lost? If not, take three doses, and it will definitely work within a day."

  Song Yu accompanied with a smile.

  Old Master Gu is clearly here to seek justice for Gu Jinzhi, not to see a doctor!

  His younger sister said, "Old kid", indeed, when you get old, it's like being a child again. Would Song Yu bother with the two children of Gu Shi, one old and one young? He smiled and nodded, his attitude somewhat perfunctory.

  Zhang Yuan was surprised and looked at Gu Jinzhi.

  Old Guo said "sister", undoubtedly referring to this girl!

  Looking at her small, with two braids, isn't she just over ten years old?

  Is Old Gu's brain going bad these past few years?

  Zhang Yuan couldn't bear it anymore and burst out laughing.

  Old Master Gu didn't seem to mind at all, as if he hadn't heard anything, and still didn't look at Zhang Yuan. A stranger couldn't arouse the old master's interest in the slightest, so he took his leave with Gu Jin first.

  It is said that Lao Yezi is going to leave, and Gu Yanwen's couple also rushed out.

  Song Yu personally escorted him to the Weeping Flower Gate, and only after returning did he say to Zhang Yuan: "I'm really sorry, Doctor Zhang! The old man is advanced in years, and as his junior, I can only follow his wishes..."

  Zhang Yuan let out a hearty laugh: "I understand now!"

  He is over fifty years old and can be called an elder in front of Song Yu.

  Song Yu sent someone to fetch Zhang Yuan's prescription and get the medicine, then decocted it and had Lady Song drink it.

  On that day, Mrs. Song felt much lighter in the head and more comfortable, so she was delighted and directly praised Zhang Yuan as a divine doctor.

  Zhang Yuan showed a smile of indifference, such praise was too much, he heard it every day and didn't feel anything.

  He just remembered what Gu Jia Lao Ye said about spleen yang being damaged, and he found it amusing, thinking that when he returned to Suzhou, he must tell his colleagues about it.

  Such a person actually used to be a hospital porter!

  But by the afternoon of the second day, Mrs. Song's headache had started again.

  Took medicine but didn't work, stomach aching, yet can't have bowel movement.

  Zhang Yuan's heart chilled: Had he misjudged it, or was the dose of medicine too small?

  He would never allow his own signboard to be smashed in front of Yanling Fu!

  He increased the dose again and let Mrs. Song take it.

  It wasn't until midnight that Mrs. Song's condition worsened, with severe abdominal pain like a tight grip, wave after wave, which was unprecedented!

  Mrs. Song was in so much pain that she couldn't bear it and burst into tears. While crying, she scolded Zhang Yuan for being an incompetent doctor. When Zhang came to take her pulse again, she reprimanded him harshly, not letting him examine her.

  Zhang Yuan has never been treated like this in all these years, his face turned iron-green!

  Song Yu looked at his wife in distress and didn't care about Zhang Yue's emotions, heartbrokenly holding his wife's hand, helpless.

  His wife and children were covered in sweat, their faces pale, causing Song Yu this seven-foot-tall man to shed tears.

  The two old masters Song Xi and his wife heard that the old lady's condition had worsened and they also came to visit her in the middle of the night.

  The big wife is indeed worse and doesn't know if she can make it through tonight.

  Song Yu was worried and confused, listening to the old lady's moans, he lost his mind. Thinking of their youthful vows, the affection they had shared for over a decade, all his thoughts turned to dust, he sat by her bedside wiping away tears.

  Second Master Song asked: "Big brother, didn't Old Master Gu come to see you yesterday? What about the prescription he wrote?"

  Zhang Yuan stood by, his face already pale with anger. Hearing Song Xi's words, he couldn't help but let out a cold snort: "There was no prescription to begin with. The diagnosis is unclear, are you trying to kill the Madame?"

  "Does this divine doctor have a way to alleviate my sister's pain at this time?" Song Xi also turned cold.

  Zhang Yuan's mouth was shut.

  He doesn't have it.

  If I had known that Lady Song's illness was so troublesome, he shouldn't have come and damaged his own reputation. If it can't be cured, perhaps by tomorrow it will spread to Suzhou. In the future, this divine doctor will not be able to practice medicine anymore!

  Some diseases are unprecedented and cannot be cured by doctors.

  Sometimes getting sick is also a matter of fate. Some people are just not fated to live, and no doctor can save them from being taken away by the heavens.

  Zhang Yuan was anxious and angry in his heart, now his intestines were regretful.

  "Here... here..." Mrs. Song heard Mr. Gu, and knew that the prescription Mr. Gu mentioned yesterday was the one opened by Gu Zhen.

  She always put Fangzi beside her pillow.

  She remembered Old Master Gu saying yesterday that eating it would make her better.

  At this point, Mrs. Song could no longer care about it and took out the prescription to let Song Xi send someone to fetch the medicine.

  Song Xi took it over, took a look, and hesitated in her heart.

  The handwriting on the prescription looks immature, listing three ordinary medicines: Cyperus rotundus, Cimicifuga foetida and Nelumbo nucifera. Can these really cure a stubborn disease?

  Since others have opened it, I'll try it out too!

  Song Xi was always bold in his actions, and immediately took it out, telling the servant to go fetch the medicine at once!

  Half a time later, Mrs. Song also hurt for half a time.

  She no longer had the energy to scold Zhang Yuan.

  Zhang Yuan stepped forward and gave her acupuncture, wanting to make a last-ditch effort.

  It's gone with just one use.

  Mrs. Song also stopped crying, and looked at him coldly with a mocking gaze.

  Zhang Yuan's face was as colorful as a paint shop.

  Song Yu's gaze at Zhang Yuan also became somewhat suspicious. His reputation as a divine doctor, where did it come from?

  Finally, Guan Shi brought back the medicine.

  But for some reason, Song Yu was still uneasy and handed the prescription to Zhang Yuan again: "Take a look at this prescription, is it safe?"

  Medicines are all grabbed and then asked him? This is clearly not a bit sincere!

  Zhang Yuan was so angry he almost died.

  He had no choice but to give in! No matter how angry he was, he could only endure it.

  He glanced at the prescription and his inner fury almost burst out.

  "If this prescription works, I'll go bare-chested and carry a sedan chair from Qingguo Alley to Ma Yuan Alley to the Gu's residence tomorrow, to apologize and offer my respects to Old Master Gu!" Zhang Yuan fiercely flung the prescription back into Song Yu's hands.

  Song Yu became hesitant.

  Mrs. Song exerted her last ounce of energy and shouted loudly: "Quickly go decoct the medicine, are you all going to watch me die? Quickly go decoct the medicine, don't listen to this quack doctor's words!"

  Zhang Yuanchun's temples bulged with blue veins, he exerted his strength and swung his sleeves, striding out of the inner chamber.

  This rough and ignorant woman, it's really degrading to give her medical treatment!

  Song Yu didn't even bother to chase Zhang Yuan, and personally went down to decoct medicine.

  After a while, the medicine was ready and Lady Song hastily drank it down in one gulp without even minding the scalding heat.

  A warm current flowed from the mouth all the way to the heart.

  Song Yu, Song Xi and Second Mistress Qin watched from the side to see how the medicine would take effect.

  Mrs. Song also knew that the medicine wouldn't take effect so quickly and quietly waited instead.

  But in less than half a cup of tea's time, she suddenly clutched her belly and was gone.

  "She suddenly opened her eyes: 'I... I don't have a stomachache anymore.'"

  Song Yu and others were greatly shocked.

  Hasn't it just been a short while since you drank it? The medicine bowl hasn't cooled down yet.

  "Wait a bit longer?" Song Yu said. He knew that Mrs. Song's abdominal pain came in waves.

  Mrs. Song nodded, but in her heart she felt a coolness slowly seeping in, and didn't know if it was real or just an illusion.

  She quietly closed her eyes and waited.

  Song Yu, Song Xi and Qin Shi held their breath, afraid of disturbing her, waiting aside.

  Another moment passed and Mrs. Song did not mention abdominal pain again.

  Song Yu was so delighted that he forgot Song Xi in an instant.

  Song Xi also likes.

  Song Yu was about to ask Song Daitai how she felt, but instead heard her faint snoring.

  She... she fell asleep!

  Song Yu's mouth was wide open, revealing an unbelievable expression. Since falling ill, Mrs. Song hadn't slept much.

  He motioned to his brother and sister-in-law to leave first and come back tomorrow.

  Song Xi and Qin Shi were also excited. Song's wife was like this, obviously there was a turn for the better. After taking the medicine, she could sleep well, which is a good thing.

  Song Xi and his wife quietly walked out of the inner room.

  As they left Madam Song's courtyard, Madam Qin, the second wife of Mr. Song, asked her husband in a low voice, "Do you think that prescription from Old Man Gu is really effective?"

  Song Xi smiled: "Zhang Yuan is both acupuncture and medicine, and the eldest sister's condition has worsened. After drinking that bowl of Cyperus, Saposhnikovia, and Lotus Leaf Soup, the eldest sister actually fell asleep. If this doesn't work, what will? Wait and see, there will be good news tomorrow!"

  Qin's family let out a sigh of relief: "Old Master Gu is indeed a master of rejuvenation!"

  "Is it Old Master Gu?" Song Xi couldn't help but laugh out loud, "That's the prescription that Jin sister gave to Eldest Sister last time!"

  Mrs. Song was so shocked that she couldn't say a word.
