The housekeeper invited Old Master Xia to the outer study.

  Mr. Xia was a man of medium build, somewhat thin, and as he grew older, he became gaunt.

  His hair was sparse and white, his face was sharp and pale.

  Song Pan'er looked at this face and thought he should be a stingy and petty person, so she didn't like him very much.

  Following Xia Lao Yezi was his eldest disciple, Sun Ke. Sun Ke's figure was tall and slender, but very thin. Because he was too thin, his face was long, with a pointed mouth and sunken cheeks; the straight robe on him looked loose no matter how you looked at it, and it was quite awkward.

  Song Pan'er probably didn't like anyone today.

  Gu Yanwen bowed to Xia Lao and Sun Ke, without showing any displeasure.

  Song Pan'er also didn't avoid suspicion and casually returned a courtesy with a slight bow.

  Because his wife was present, Sun Ke was somewhat restrained and his usual cleverness was reduced by half. He didn't quite understand why the women of the Gu family were so generous and followed their husbands to social gatherings?

  He naturally couldn't guess that Song Daner was afraid of Gu Yanqing losing out, so he didn't want to avoid him and thought about helping him out.

  She is already the mother of a teenager, what's there to be afraid of people seeing?

  Yahuan poured tea, Gu Yanjin accompanied her in drinking tea, and Song Pan'er sat at the end.

  The couple didn't mention anything about follow-up visits.

  Xia Lao Yezi was even more displeased, his mind racing: he had personally come to the door, and Gu Yanwen should have been grateful, but why did she look so calm?

  Having a title at home is nothing impressive! If you really have skills, why come to Yanling?

  Old Man Xia secretly sneered in his heart.

  He didn't say anything either.

  Sun Ke saw that the atmosphere had cooled down a bit, so he smiled and warmed up the scene, asking Gu Yanxin: "Gu San Ye, I don't know if the young master has taken his medicine, how is his condition?"

  Gu Yanwen smiled, but couldn't say anything more.

  He was very soft-hearted, and considering Mr. Xia's age, he didn't want to say in front of him that he had misdiagnosed the illness and used the wrong medicine, fearing it would be embarrassing for the old man. So Gu Yan didn't know how to bring it up.

  "Not good!" Song Pan'er saw that Gu Yan had hesitated for a moment, knowing he would say something insincere and pleasant to hear, so she immediately took over the conversation.

  Old Xia's hand holding the teacup paused for a moment.

  Sun Ke also looked at Gu Yanxin with confusion.

  Gu Yan didn't have time to stop her, and Song Pan'er continued in a soft voice: "Yesterday I took the medicine and slept for most of the day. At night when I woke up, I drank some water and then threw it up..."

  Old Man Xia's pale face suddenly turned red.

  Not shy, but angry!

  He is talking nonsense like Song Dang Er!

  From the moment Gu Yanwen took the child to Xia's Baicao Hall, it was a conspiracy.

  "A dose of medicine, even if it can't cure the disease, may still have some effect. And as for vomiting, perhaps your wife is mistaken?" Old Master Xia's voice was cold, with a hint of stern anger.

  Song Pan'er was annoyed as soon as she heard this.

  It's always her who mocks others, when has she ever been ridiculed by others like this? If she had been, Song Pan'er would have normally counterattacked on the spot.

  "A single dose and you're cured?" Song Pan'er's voice was soft and carried a smile, "Old master, when have you ever had such skills?"

  Xia Luo was called "Old Master" by everyone in the medical community because of his seniority.

  As for medical skills, there is really nothing good to say.

  Compared to Song Pan'er's direct sarcasm, Old Man Xia's words just now were considered polite.

  He was so angry that his lungs were about to burst: What kind of wife of a national duke's mansion is this? She's just like a shrew from the streets!

  Having heard Song Pan'er's words, he recalled the time when he diagnosed Hu Jie's throat disease as a terminal illness and was later saved by Gu Jingzhi. He had been ridiculed for it, and old resentments came flooding back to his mind.

  His pale face suddenly turned purple with anger, he stood up abruptly and questioned Gu Yan: "Gu San Ye, is your mansion not distinguishing between inside and outside? When we masters speak, where does this noise come from?"

  This is what they say about men talking, Song Pan'er interrupts without rules.

  Song Pan'er has always been a straightforward and brave person, she never felt inferior in front of men.

  If it were another woman who was scolded by Old Man Xia like that, she would probably be so ashamed that her face would turn red and crack.

  Song Pan'er still smiled unchanged, not getting angry at all.

  "Old sir, our family is not as noble as yours. If you have the leisure, please teach us younger generations some etiquette. I, Song, don't understand things, if I've done something wrong, please forgive me." Song Pan'er said with a smile, and then stood up to pay her respects to Old Master Xia again.

  These words pierced people's faces red with shame.

  It was as if Old Man Xia had used 30% of his strength to attack, while Song Wan'er countered with 120% of her own. Not just the old man, but Sun Ke's face also turned red with anger.

  Gu Yanzhen also stood up and blocked Song Pan'er, secretly using her elbow to nudge Song Pan'er, signaling her not to say anything more.

  Song Pan'er smiled and took a few steps back.

  She has said all she should say.

  "Xia Lao misunderstood, my wife didn't remember wrongly. Our son took medicine last night and indeed vomited non-stop." Gu Yan Zhen looked at Xia Lüe and Sun Ke, both of whom were out of breath and flustered, and for a moment didn't know what to say.

  His words added fuel to the fire.

  Looking at the master and apprentice with bulging veins on their foreheads, Gu Yan thought to himself if he had done something wrong.

  If he says it again, will Father think that Mr. Xia has taken a liking to Gu Xuanzhi and assume that Gu Yanjin is intentionally trying to make things difficult for him?

  Because Song Pan'er had insulted Xia Lüe Zai before, Gu Yan's words afterwards could only follow and change: "...and after eating the prescription opened by Xiao Nv, the vomiting finally stopped."

  It should be Da Chai Hu Tang, which was first told to Gu Yanjun by Gu Jinzhi. Although Gu Yanjun firmly believed that it was his father's diagnosis, not Gu Jinzhi's.

  Xia Lü's face became even more unsightly.

  The more he spoke, the more wrong he was, so Gu Yanwen could only say: "Old Xia, please take another look..."

  As she spoke, she led Xia Lüe and Sun Ke into the warm pavilion.

  Song Pan'er took advantage of the opportunity to retreat.

  Xia Luo and Sun Ke both held back a mouthful of bad air, following Gu Yanjin into the warm pavilion. They had come to slap Gu Shifei in the face, but who knew they really fell into the Gu family's trap!

  Xia was so angry that she almost died from rage.

  Gu's family said it was just a mistake with the medicine? Xia Lüe personally wanted to take a look for himself.

  Dare to use lies to insult him?

  Is he good at making trouble in his family during summer vacation?

  He wants to see it with his own eyes and have a debate with Gu Shi Fei!

  The warm alcove of the study, with a pot of begonias in the corner, had no fragrance, but its color was fiery and vibrant, reflecting off the eight panels of Huang Yang wood screen, adding a touch of elegance, bringing vitality to the room.

  Gu Xuanzhi lay on the Luohan bed, closing his eyes and pretending to sleep.

  Just now there were voices outside, he heard them all.

  The sound of footsteps came in, and he opened his eyes, looking at the visitor with a puzzled expression, guessing the identity of the visitor.

  Gu Yanwen said to him, "This is a doctor, come to diagnose your illness."

  Gu Xun nodded obediently.

  Old Xia looked at the child's complexion and saw that it had improved somewhat, obviously due to the effectiveness of his medicine, but still dared to say that he used Da Chai Hu Tang!

  Was he a dialectical blind man?

  Gu's family wants to frame him for being incompetent in his medical skills, it's not that easy!

  When Gu Yanwen asked him to re-examine, Xia Lüe's attitude became serious, looked at the child's tongue coating, and carefully took his pulse...

  It's just this pulse...

  He suddenly felt a chill run down his back.

  This pulse is surging and large in a solid way, clearly indicating Yangming syndrome.

  The complexion shows Shao Yang syndrome, but the pulse is Yang Ming syndrome, this is Shao Yang and Yang Ming complex syndrome.

  Xia Lüe's hand was still on Gu Xuan's pulse, and she couldn't withdraw it for a long time!

  If he hadn't been angry yesterday and wasn't being flattered by his big disciple Sun Ke, he wouldn't have been in such a hurry to show off in front of the younger generation, or else he would have lost his pulse diagnosis!

  Diagnosis is broken without taking pulse, how mighty!

  It seems that this powerful move has failed!

  He was encouraged by Sun Ke and personally went to the door for a re-examination, wanting to meet with Gu Shi Fei and give him some color to see. Who knew...

  It's not just the back that feels cool now, but the whole body is cooling down a bit in this summer.

  What's going on? How can this be resolved?!

  Xia Lüo involuntarily rolled his eyes and cold sweat slid down from his forehead.

  He did this and suddenly scared Gu Yanxin, who hastily asked: "Old Xia, is the dog's illness relapsing?"

  If it were someone else's family, they could still be fooled! But Master Gu was a former imperial physician. If he answered now and there were contradictions, wouldn't that be like voluntarily offering his own face for others to slap?

  Now it's neither advancing nor retreating!

  Old Man Xia's forehead was getting sweatier and sweatier.

  "Master, Master, what's wrong?" Sun Ke rushed forward and supported Xia Yue's shoulder.

  Xia Lüe suddenly couldn't think of a way to escape and fainted.

  This frightened Sun Ke and Gu Dianzhen.

  The two were shocked and pale: How could he suddenly faint? Old Master Xia was already sixty years old, at an advanced age, would he just leave like this?

  I'd rather die than be a burden on the Gu family!

  Gu Dianzhen is anxious, Sun Ke is even more anxious.

  The old man was brought out by Sun Ke, what if he died, how would he be accountable to the Xia family?

  This is simply unspeakable!

  "What's wrong?" Just as they were at a loss for what to do, they suddenly heard a clear and crisp girl's voice from the doorway.

  Gu Yanzhen saw that it was Gu Jin, and in her anxiety, she hastily grabbed her arm: "Jin sister, Jin sister! Come quickly and take a look! Xia Lao suddenly fainted!"

  Sun Ke came back to his senses from shock and fear, and was already taking Xia Rou's pulse.

  After a moment, his face showed doubt: what's the point of pretending to be dizzy? Did he really misdiagnose the illness?

  He laid the old man flat on the ground, pondering the old man's intention, wondering whether or not to wake him up.

  Gu Jinzhi listened to his father's words and also came forward to kneel down and take the old man's pulse.

  At a glance at the pulse, it's clear that he's pretending to be unconscious.

  She took a glance at Gu Xuanzhi and roughly understood what was going on, and for a moment she couldn't help but laugh and cry.

  This old man's use of Golden Cicada Shell is really...

  Something must be said in order for him to successfully get away with it. If he wasn't forced to, he wouldn't pretend to be muddle-headed, would he?

  "Father, quickly get someone to move this pot of Begonia out," said Gu Jinzhi, "Summer Daifu is probably poisoned by the fragrance of Begonia..."

  Gu Yanwen suddenly enlightened, personally moved out.

  Only when I was moving did I realize that Gardenia has no fragrance at all.

  He was somewhat perplexed.

  Sun Ke was worried about his illness and wondered how he could say it without being recognized by the family members, so as to maintain the dignity of his master.

  However, Gu Jin opened his mouth and fabricated a poisoning case...

  But can the fragrance of haitang be poisonous?

  Sun Ke remembered that Haitang's fragrance was non-toxic...

  It suddenly occurred to him that Miss Gu was so clever and had also seen his master's predicament, so she deliberately helped?

  He didn't care anymore, someone came to his rescue, and he carried Xia Luozhao out of the warm pavilion.

  Xia Lü slowly woke up from this.

  What is Oleander poisoning?

  Damn it, Osmanthus is not fragrant at all!

  So much nonsense, Xia Lüe retreated with a black face.

  Afterwards, Gu Yanwen was worried and wanted to go to Xia's house to visit him and see how Xia Lüe was doing.

  Gu Jinzhi thought that Xia Lüe was now the person he least wanted to see from the Gu family!

  She pretended to be dizzy and told her father.

  Gu Yanwen was taken aback at first, then burst out laughing.

  But it was a misdiagnosis of the disease, and that old man's temper was too big.

  Song Pan'er laughed even harder after knowing, almost falling over!

  "Don't spread it around for now, tomorrow is Old Master Xia's 60th birthday!" Gu Yanxin said to Song Pan'er, "Sixty is a big milestone, he invited so many disciples back to celebrate, don't make things difficult for him."

  Song Pan'er also felt that one cannot push people to the point of desperation, or else it will lead to trouble.

  She didn't mention it at all.

  But on the second day, all the birthday banquets arranged by the Xia family were cancelled, and the disciples dispersed. Old Master Xia closed his doors and refused to see anyone.

  "He didn't say anything, but he's already angry!" Song Tuaner laughed.
