Meng Yi angrily said, "Nan Yu, don’t go too far!"
Upon hearing Nan Yu’s words, Wang Rong stomped his feet on the spot, instantly abandoning all composure, furiously saying, "Nan Yu, what nonsense are you spouting! How am I suffering from kidney deficiency, I’m perfectly fine!"
Nan Yu looked at his fierce expression, raised an eyebrow, and used a voice loud enough for everyone in the banquet hall to hear.
"Is that so? Dr. Wang, looking at your tongue coating, and your complexion, you should already be urinating blood by now, and every midnight, you must be in excruciating pain. I’m afraid in less than three months, your kidneys will be completely ruined."
Then, she shook her head as if in pity.
"What a shame you insist you’re not ill. Otherwise, I wouldn’t be able to present the secret remedy that could restore you to your vigor at the age of twenty."
Unable to contain his anger, Meng Yi, with a fierce undertone, retorted, "Nan Yu, Dr. Wang is in perfect health. You say he’s urinating blood, have you seen it? You look like nothing but a charlatan spouting nonsense!"
"Meng Yi, shut your mouth!"
Suddenly, a loud scold struck Meng Yi’s face, and she turned towards the source in astonishment, puzzled, "Dr. Wang, you..."
Wang Rong fiercely glared at her, warning her not to speak again.
Then he put on a friendly smile, looking at Nan Yu ingratiatingly.
"Miss Nan, what was that secret formula you mentioned that could restore my kidneys to how they were when I was twenty?"
Nan Yu slightly lifted her chin, her eyes proud as she looked down on him.
"Dr. Wang, are you finally willing to admit that you are ill?"
Wang Rong hurriedly extended his hand, "Miss Nan, it was short-sighted of me before, I’ve been blind to my faults. I apologize to you, sorry!"
"Just by observing my tongue and complexion, you diagnosed my condition accurately—that alone shows your medical expertise is unparalleled."
"Moreover, I indeed have been suffering from kidney deficiency for several years, and recently, the blood in my urine has been incessant, medicines can’t control it, and at night the pain is utterly unbearable."
His face revealed a painful expression, "I’ve sought many renowned doctors, and all said I was beyond help. If you can cure me, I’ll kowtow to you right here!"
Nan Yu extended her hand, her voice calm, "Dr. Wang, there’s no need to be so courteous, let me take your pulse."
Dr. Wang immediately extended his hand.
Nan Yu’s slender, fair fingers rested on his wrist and in less than three minutes, she withdrew her hand.
She then pulled out a piece of paper from the side, swiftly wrote down a few lines of neat, small characters, waved it grandiosely, and handed it to Wang Rong.
"Dr. Wang, three times a day, avoid staying up late. In two weeks, I guarantee the medicine will resolve your affliction."
Wang Rong looked at the prescription, his eyes revealing an excited demeanor, "Thank you, Dr. Nan."
Nan Yu added pointedly, "Dr. Wang, my prescriptions are tailor-made to the individual, suited for the specific ailment of each person. This medicine is meant only for you."
Wang Rong nodded, placing the prescription carefully against his chest, "Understood, Dr. Nan."
The other doctors, witnessing this scene, couldn’t help but scorn Wang Rong.
"Wang Rong, now you’re respecting her so much, what if her prescription doesn’t work?"
"Dr. Wang is nothing but a weathercock, always turning towards whoever speaks to him."
"Don’t come to regret it when you finish that herbal medicine only to end up with a more serious condition, and finally ruin your kidneys completely."
Wang Rong’s smile vanished, and he became rigid where he stood, also realizing the problem.
But thinking of Nan Yu’s accurate recounting of his condition earlier—something he hadn’t even disclosed to his own wife—and that she had identified it merely by taking his pulse, showed that her medical skills were far superior to his, perhaps even the highest.
But what if her methods of treatment were ineffective?
He hesitated, looking back at Nan Yu.
To his surprise, Nan Yu raised her brows with confidence, her pleasing voice ringing out.
"Dr. Wang, if anything goes wrong after you take it, I’ll compensate you with my life."
