Chapter 259 - Using your body to test for poison
He called out to the door, and the uncle went on explaining, "Dad. I was too concerned about your safety as a son, so I worried too much about it. However, Mei Ran had rarely been to the capital these past few years. Whether or not you are a member of our Su Family has no other intentions, who knows. "
Hearing his uncle's insidious speculation, Su Meiran's face turned as pale as a sheet of paper. He took a deep breath and thought about how his entire family had been driven out of the capital by the eldest uncle and second uncle of these influential people. Immediately, his body trembled slightly as he picked up the medicine jar. Then, he used his body to test the poison and took a small sip from it while pinching his nose.
This scene immediately caused everyone in the room to be stunned. Especially that big uncle, when he saw Su Meiran unhesitatingly use her body to test the poison, her expression became even more unsightly.
With a gloomy face, the resentment in his eyes became even more intense.
Coincidentally, the servant of the Old Master had called for Lu Xing, the personal doctor for the Old Master. When the two of them pushed open the door and entered the room, they thought about the abnormal character in the room. The imperial concubine was stunned for a moment before she cautiously asked, "Doctor Lu is already here. Do you still need to examine the medicine?"
This Lu Xing was Su Wenlong's personal doctor, hence he stayed inside the old villa 24 hours a day. Just now, when her imperial sister-in-law heard Uncle Su Meiran's orders, she immediately called for Lu Xing to come over.
"Yes." Eldest Uncle clenched his teeth and spat out one word.
As for Su Meiran, she swept her gaze towards the door while holding the jar of Chinese medicine. Looking at Lu Xing who was wearing a white gown, she also gnashed her teeth and spat out one word: "Test."
The same word was spat out through gritted teeth. However, there was something different about this word. When the uncle spoke these words, it was with a strong sense of resentment. When Su Meiran said this word, it carried a strong sense of unwillingness and heartache.
Within the bedroom, Su Clan members were watching the show. Their expressions were all different. Some had a hint of a sneer on their lips, others had a trace of pity on their lips, and there were even people with cold faces like that. It was as though all of this had nothing to do with him.
Wearing a white coat, Lu Xing was in his forties. Wearing a pair of black-rimmed glasses, he received the order. He took the medicine jar from Su Meiran's hands and carefully said: "Miss, I apologize."
Then, Lu Xing began to carefully examine that jar full of Chinese medicine.
Originally, this examination was a sacred process. It was a process that made one's heart tighten as they waited for the results. However, no one in this room was nervous at all.
Su Meiran had just used her body to test the poison without hesitation, and had explained many things. Everyone in the room understood that there was absolutely no problem with that jar of Chinese medicine. However, sometimes, the complexity of the human heart and the coolness of the situation led to this unnecessary process.
Lu Xing looked over to hear what was said, then took out the silver needles to carefully examine the pot of Chinese medicine. Finally, he passed the jar of traditional Chinese medicine in his hand to Su Meiran, opened his mouth and respectfully said: "Miss, there is no problem with the medicine. It was a great tonic that suited the lordmaster's current body. Furthermore, the medicinal properties of the medicinal herbs were very good. The medicinal properties of the medicinal herbs were mild and not strong. It must have been personally fried by the Young Miss. "
After hearing what Lu Xing had said and said, Su Meiran's expression turned slightly better. Nodding her head, he started to admit it: "Indeed, I personally fried it."
"Thank you for your concern, Miss." Lu Xing's face revealed a look of admiration, he looked like an expert from the outside world pinching his beard, and said slowly: "This jar of medicine is a great tonic. With such a mix, this formula was unheard-of. "However, smelling that strong medicinal effect, this medicine is definitely not bad."
"Thank you, doctor, for your praise." Su Meiran picked up the jar of traditional Chinese medicine, then looked at his uncle provocatively, and coldly said: "Uncle, do you still need to repeat the test?"
Eldest Uncle's face was flushed red as he kept quiet and hung his head low.
Su Meiran immediately took the jar of Chinese medicine and sat in front of the bed. Then, she turned to his grandfather and said gently, "Grandpa, open your mouth, I will feed you some medicine."
Old Gramps Su Wenlong was extremely filial when he saw his granddaughter come to the capital. As tears welled up in his eyes, he felt even more ashamed when he recalled the incident from back then.
"Thank you." The old man Su Wenlong, who had wanted to be strong his entire life, finally lowered his head in front of his own granddaughter at this moment. He opened his mouth, and his face filled with tears.
At this time, Su Meiran was sitting in front of Old Man Su Wenlong's bed. Spoon after spoonful, she slowly fed the medicine into the old man's mouth.
This warm scene descended onto the group of Su Clan members in the room. However, it was only exchanged for a few strands of contempt and a few strands of resentment. It was as if they felt that Su Meiran was just putting on an act.
Waiting until Su Meiran fed the whole jar of medicine into the Old Man Su Wenlong's mouth. Su Meiran once again took out the handkerchief and paper she brought with him, gently wiping away the medicinal juice on the corner of the old man's mouth.
Old Man Su Wenlong, who was on the bed, finished this jar of Chinese medicine. He felt his body heat up, and traces of it began to spread throughout his body. His entire body gradually recovered a bit of his strength.
"Grandfather." Su Meiran ignored everyone in the room, and spoke to Su Wenlong in a low voice: "I know about your condition. He was old and had run out of oil. After all, no one could escape from something like this. However, there was no such thing as a path of death in this world. Since western medicine had been tried for so long, there was no result. "Why not give it a try?"
"Chinese medicine?" The old man on the bed had traces of suspicion on his face as he slowly spoke, "Those are just some deceitful, deceptive things that only exist in the martial arts world." If it was that useful, then why would they need the doctors at the hospital? Mei Ran, I know my own body. "Don't bother, in the end it was all in vain."
"Grandfather." Su Meiran's face darkened, and then, she opened her mouth to advise: "In this world, there is always a number of outstanding people who are not lacking. Traditional Chinese medicine was not all a trick of the martial arts world. In the past, there were Li Shizhen's Compendium of Materia Medica, as well as the famous "Yellow Emperor's Internal Canon of Scriptures", "Suwen", "Shen Nong's Classic of Herbal Herbs", "Channeling of Chills", "Sutra of Difficulties", and so on. These Chinese medical books had been passed down for a thousand years, benefiting generations of people. Presumably, he still had some ability. It was just that, currently, his Chinese medicine style was weak. However, since the effect of the western medicine is no longer obvious, Grandpa can try the traditional Chinese medicine. "
"Try traditional Chinese medicine?" Old Gramps Su Wenlong was slowly being tempted by Su Meiran to have some fun as he mumbled to himself.
"Yes." Su Meiran nodded heavily, and spoke with determination: "The treatment of traditional Chinese medicine is based on the whole body, it can completely control a person's vital energy and blood, yin and yang, and it is unlike a western medicine that hurts both the head and legs. Since his grandfather's body was not as healthy as it used to be, why not use traditional Chinese medicine to recuperate. The pot of traditional Chinese medicine I just gave grandpa to drink was a partial recipe obtained by my master in Jianghai City. What do you think after drinking it? "
When he asked this question, Su Meiran was equally unsure. For a moment, he looked nervously at Old Man Su Wenlong, who was on the bed.
Su Wenlong felt that the hot air inside his body had started to surge, and his body was indeed much better. Immediately, he nodded his head and said: "This jar of Chinese medicine is indeed not bad. After I drank it, I recovered some of my strength. However, it would not be easy to find strange people in the Holy Hand of Traditional Chinese Medicine. "Sigh …"
When he finished speaking, the old tutor heaved a heavy sigh, revealing a strong sense of helplessness.
"That's true." Seeing that the old man had taken the bait little by little, Su Meiran immediately pretended to look troubled as he said, "Indeed, it is hard to find such an extraordinary person in the martial arts world, Holy Hand of Traditional Chinese Medicine. However, grandpa, our Su family has been a part of the Four Great Families in the capital all these years. "Everyone can clearly see the wealth and material resources. Why not recruit a Chinese medical expert and give it a try?"
