In her previous life as Director Ni, what kind of scenario had she not experienced? She didn’t see much in these trivialities.
Seeing her so calm, Lady Mo couldn’t help but take a few more looks at her.
This child was a bit beyond her expectations.
Looking at her attire, she didn’t seem to be from a wealthy family. Yet, after seeing these things, there was no trace of greed in her eyes, just sheer clarity and tranquility.
She didn’t seem like a child in her teens, but more like someone who had been through a thousand storms and held high positions.
Perhaps, she indeed had the potential to achieve great things.
They all went upstairs together, and just as they were stepping onto the top stair, Lady Zheng missed a step.
Just as she was about to tumble backward onto the ground, someone gently grasped her hand, pulling with a clever force, stabilizing Lady Zheng’s body immediately. She heard a soft voice beside her, “Be careful, old lady.”
Looking up, Lady Zheng saw it was Ni Yang who had assisted her, and she gratefully said, “Thankyou, young divine doctor.”
“It was nothing.” Ni Yang replied with a light smile, two shallow dimples appearing on her cheeks.
For a moment, Lady Zheng lost herself.
She remembered that her Tingting also had such small dimples.
“Grandma, are you alright?” Zheng Tingting, who was leading the way, noticed something was wrong, she stopped and held onto Lady Zheng’s arm, asking concernedly.
Only then was Lady Zheng jolted back to reality. She responded with a helpless smile, “I’m fine.”
Ni Yang softly reminded, “The elderly may have trouble with mobility, you should pay more attention, sister.”
Was Ni Yang indirectly criticizing her lack of filial piety?
Should she take a look at who she is first? A mere barefoot village doctor who accidentally cured Yang Guobao’s illness, what right does she have to judge her?
For a moment, Zheng Xianjing was even more irritated. Yet she still smiled and said, “Young Divine Doctor is correct, it was indeed my negligence this time. Thankyou, Young Divine Doctor. Grandma, let us go in quickly.”
Ni Yang said no further and followed everyone into the room.
The moment she stepped into the room, Ni Yang discreetly furrowed her brows.
The air in the room wasn’t pleasant, it was outright disagreeable.
Ni Yang looked around, realizing that all the doors and windows in the room were tightly closed, the curtains were drawn, and the only light was coming from a chandelier overhead.
Based on the stale air, she guesstimated that the room had been closed off for at least ten days, if not longer.
Little Miss Mo Hudie, who was lying on the bed, was ominously pale and emaciated. If Wang Meifeng hadn’t mentioned it earlier, Ni Yang would never have guessed that this child was already thirteen years old.
Yang Guobao ran over to Mo Hudie with excitement, “Xiaodie Xiaodie, this is the Sister Ni Yang I told you about!”
Mo Hudie looked up at Ni Yang, graced her with a light smile, and politely greeted, “Hello, Sister NiYang.”
This Sister Ni Yang was indeed as beautiful as Yang Guobao had claimed.
Prettier even than Snow White on television.
“Hello Xiaodie.” Ni Yang sat down, extending her hand towards Mo Hudie to feel her pulse.
The air in the room grew still.
Everyone was waiting for Ni Yang to speak.
After a while, Ni Yang released her hand, raised Mo Hudie’s chin and instructed, “Don’t be nervous, close your eyes first. I need to checkyour pupils.”
Mo Hudie closed her eyes as instructed.
After examining her pupils, Ni Yang wore a complex expression. She looked up at Lady Mo and asked, “Has Xiaodie been taking any medication lately? And did her condition improve after that?”
“Yes.” Lady Mo nodded.
Ni Yang continued, “Can you bring the medicine over for me to see?”
“Certainly.” Lady Mo nodded, retrieving a small red porcelain bottle from the drawer of the bedside table.
After Ni Yang received the porcelain bottle and sniffed it lightly, she proceeded, “The pills contain aconite, Piperaceae, Seven Dragons Grass, Pueraria Root, Cherry Seed, Snake Berry, Dandelion, and other medicinal herbs. These herbs have astringent properties, warm regulation, and help to clear internal heat but they have been erroneously prescribed for Xiaodie’s condition. If Xiaodie seems to be improving, it is only due to the astringent properties working to alleviate her symptoms temporarily, this is treating the symptoms not the cause. She must stop taking these immediately, because otherwise, within three days, not only will her condition not improve, but it will worsen to such an extent that it could be life-threatening.”
Ni Yang spoke earnestly, there wasn’t an ounce of jest in her expression.
Lady Mo was taken aback, “But… but this was personally sent by the Divine Doctor of Jiangnan!”
