Luckily, Old Master woke up in time the next day, and he seemed to have turned better than the day before.
The doctor came to check on the Old Master today and was shocked. “Old Master, Madame, did you consult another doctor? Or did he drink any medicine or get acupuncture or… anything else?”
Both Old Master and Madame were confused.
“What do you mean, Doctor Tang? You are the only doctor who is taking care of his health, and he eats and takes medicine according to your instructions. No one else is involved.”
“Of course, I am not joking about this!” Madame said seriously.
Doctor Tang said, “Madame, please, I don’t mean anything . It is just… I found that Old Master has turned much better than before.”
Doctor Tang gave a hard pinch on Old Master’s left calf, and said, “Sorry,”
The Old Master let out a scream. “It hurts!”
Madame stiffened, and Auntie Hua as well as everyone else all got very shocked.
“What are you saying, Old Master?!” Madame’s voice shivered.
“It hurts! Doctor Tang, can’t you be gentle, you…”
The Old Master finally realized what was going on. He stiffened too as he mumbled. “Am I… am I dreaming? Pinch me again, now!”
He lost feelings for his legs ages ago, and a pinch, or even a stab of knife would lead to no feelings at all.

Auntie Hua smiled and said, “This is great news, Madame!”
Every servant started to pass on congratulations to the Old Master.
First Madame could not help but smile. “That is a piece of great news! Doctor Tang, what on earth happened? Thank you so much for your help!”
Doctor Tang shook his hands. “No, Madame, this has nothing to do with me! If
I were this capable, I would have cured the Old Master long ago. Not only have Old Master’s legs gotten better, but the previously blocked tendons also show signs of unblocking. Even the wounds in his viscera also get better. This is definitely not my contribution! I am also wondering who is so capable to have done so!”
Doctor Tang looked very expectant.
Old Master and Madame exchanged a look between themselves.
“Old Master, Madame, just think about it thoroughly, did you run into anyone today? Or ate, or drank anything different? Anything?”
Old Master and Madame thought deeply.
There was nothing out of the ordinary…
“My Old Master is receiving treatment in the abbey and no guests come over except for some his son and daughter-in-law who visit him sometimes…” Auntie Hua smiled. “Yeah, it is very quiet here, and the Old Master is receiving treatment here because he doesn’t want to be disturbed. No one was here today except Madame Qiao and her sister-in-law, who helped us to get
Doctor Tang’s eyes sparkled, as he said, “They did not meet the Old Master?”
It was an off-hand question, but Doctor Tang was very curious to know the truth. He did not want to leave out any possibility..
