Yun Jinnian looked at Zhou Yunshen, then at Dou Jingjing and Dou Chengshan.
Looking at Dou Chengshan, Yun Jinnian felt inexplicably disgusted and displeased.
Seemingly feeling that the man was covered in human skin, somewhat like a beast.
"Mr. Dou has a tumor inside!" Yun Jinnian spoke truthfully.
"Is there a way to remove or treat the tumor?" Dou Jingjing asked.
"If Mr. Dou were young, it could be done. But Mr. Dou is elderly now and cannot withstand the surgery to remove the tumor. However, I will prescribe medicine for Mr. Dou to try and see if the tumor can be treated. But I must be clear, Mr. Dou is already in pain; if he takes the medicine, the pain will be ten times worse, and it still might not remove the tumor. It might even result in death due to the pain. Therefore, you must think carefully!" Yun Jinnian spoke calmly.
Analyzing the pros and cons clearly.
In fact, given Dou Chengshan’s age, it is truly not advisable to undergo surgery or take strong medicine.
The safest treatment is more conservative, just to alleviate the pain, perhaps extending life a bit longer.
"Is there any other way?" Zhou Yunshen asked.
Yun Jinnian shook his head, "I cannot think of any other solutions!"
Zhou Yunshen looked at Dou Chengshan, "Master?"
Dou Chengshan then looked at Yun Jinnian, "If I am willing to take the strong medicine, what are the chances of survival?"
"Not exceeding twenty percent!"
Dou Chengshan fell silent.
As it stands, he could live for another year or two, but if he takes the medicine prescribed by Yun Jinnian, he may die!
But he could not refuse immediately, only saying, "Let me think about it!"
"Very well, Mr. Dou, take your time to consider. I will take my leave!" Yun Jinnian said, standing up and slightly bowing in salute.
Dou Chengshan hurriedly said, "Jingjing, help escort the Commandery Princess!"
Dou Jingjing responded obediently.
Accompanying Yun Jinnian out of the room.
Zhou Yunshen looked at Dou Chengshan, "Master, I will also see the Commandery Princess off, and be back shortly!"
Dou Chengshan waved his hand.
As a man, he clearly understood Zhou Yunshen’s intention.
But he did not wish for Zhou Yunshen to succeed, his daughter could not marry into the Eastern Palace. For that reason, he had already decided to opt for conservative treatment, no medicine, and no surgery.
Furthermore, he planned to find a way for Zhou Yunshen to marry Jingjing first.
"Princess Yijia, thank you so much!" Dou Jingjing said warmly.
Yun Jinnian slightly shook his head, "As a doctor, this is what I should do!"
Feeling Zhou Yunshen following them out.
With both hatred and jealousy in her heart, she said, "The Crown Prince is seeing you off, I will return to attend to father. Commandery Princess, take care!"
After exchanging a few words with Dou Jingjing and Zhou Yunshen, she left.
Then asked Zhou Yunshen, "Brother Zhou, has your body recovered?"
"I haven’t had any poison attacks for half a year, I think I have recovered. Can you check my pulse to confirm?"
"Then let’s sit in the front hall!"
Yun Jinnian slightly nodded.
Yun Jinnian checked Zhou Yunshen’s pulse.
After a moment she said, "Congratulations Brother Zhou, the poison in your body is completely gone, and your health is gradually improving!"
"Thank you for saving my life!"
Yun Jinnian smiled warmly, "I must return home!"
"I will see you to the door!"
Outside, Yun Jinnian got into the carriage, still driven by Teng Fei, to be taken back to the Yun Family.
Yun Jinnian suddenly asked Teng Fei, "Will we be passing by Xufuji later?"
