1105 Treatment
“Impudent!” Wei Mu Ya was annoyed when she heard that Nan Luo came for her younger sister’s medical expertise. “Mu Qing is still young and inexperienced. There are other doctors in the city, why don’t you ask them instead of my younger sister?”
Nan Luo didn’t answer.
It was Wei Mu Qing who was watching Nan Luo’s face intently. She could see the conflict within Nan Luo’s eyes and also his struggle. Even though she might not be able to be compared to her outstanding older brother, she was not a stupid person.
She could guess his reason when he asked for her.
“Ya Jie, don’t be so angry,” Wei Mu Qing soothed her older sister. She only turned to look at Nan Luo and asked, “Does this person so important for you that you’re willing to lower yourself to ask for my help?”
For a young noble to ask for the help of a young woman, that was called lowering themselves. Women’s status has always been low and even with their family background that was pretty good, it would not change the fact that their status was lower than the males.
That was why Wei Mu Qing was used to face contempt and distrust directed towards her when she was being apprenticed doctor in this city. However, she didn’t voice it out and wholeheartedly learning everything that was possible for her to learn.Thê source of this content n/o/v/(el)bi((n))
And Nan Luo was being earnest.
To be wanted and acknowledged was something that Wei Mu Qing had always wanted. She never thought that such acknowledgement from outsiders would first come from this young man in front of her.
.....
She could guess that the person whom Nan Luo wanted her to help must be a young woman.
But she might be hiding her real gender.
And she’s also important for Nan Luo.
“Yes,” Nan Luo answered firmly. If it was for his sister, he didn’t mind asking for help and lowered himself. How does pride even mattered compared to his sister’s life?
Wei Mu Qing showed a faint smile. “In that case, let me take a look.”
Wei Mu Qing didn’t like war, but it didn’t mean that she didn’t know anything about what happened at the frontline. Her father had once mentioned about a surprisingly outstanding young man named Nan who was Young Commander Nan’s adjutant.
It seemed that the person in question was actually a young woman.
“I’ll check you first.”
Taking Nan Hua’s pulse, Wei Mu Qing’s face quickly turned serious. She realized that the patient in front of her had actually broken some bones on her ribs and had multiple degree of bruises.
Just what in the world happened?
Forcing down her curiosity, Wei Mu Qing began to help Nan Hua dress her wound. And in the process, she came to realize that the patient herself also knew the direction of the treatment well.
Though, Nan Hua was a bit too weak to do the process by herself.
Because of that, Wei Mu Qing had to help her slowly but surely. Her eyes shone with astonishment at each instruction Nan Hua gave to her. This had also become a process for learning for her.

Outside the door, Nan Luo looked at Feng Ao Si and nodded. “Thanks for staying here this entire time.”
“It’s nothing much, but it’s rare for me to see you so concerned about someone.” Feng Ao Si looked at Nan Luo probingly. He didn’t think that Nan Luo was that kind to other people normally.
With him already seeing Nan Luo when the latter was busy killing the assassins, Feng Ao Si had long thought of Nan Luo as someone who was ruthless. There was no way Nan Luo would be someone who would care about other people’s wellbeing so earnestly.
“I can’t just see her die, can I?” Nan Luo rolled his eyes.
“What happened? I didn’t think that those injuries are caused by swords when I passed by the soldiers. It looks as if they’re all being trampled on the ground rather than fighting.”
“Trampled, huh? That’s quite an apt description.”
“Yes?”
“There’s an avalanche and some of us got buried.” Nan Luo’s face darkened a bit when he thought that it was their plan. But Feng Ao Kuai had warned him before that he was not allowed to tell others that it was their masterpiece and instead tagged it as an accident. “It’s really unfortunate.”
