Chapter 101 - Ancestral Weakness 2

Originally, her body was not in good condition after two miscarriages. It was useless no matter what tonics she took. It took her several years to get pregnant with Sun Baoqian and Sun Baoshan. The two children she thought about day and night had to be kept no matter how difficult it was.

However, her health was not good, and neither were her two children. If her health were better, they might be better too. Every time she thought of it, Madam Lian felt guilty.

Sun Baoqian and Sun Baoshan were obedient and sensible. They did not make a fuss, which made Madam Lian feel even more uncomfortable.

Sun Baoqian leaned into Madam Lian’s arms and said gently, “I can’t thank Mother enough. How can I blame Mother?”

Her mother had gone to the trouble of giving birth to her so that she could see the world and learn to read, and she was too grateful to blame her for anything.

It wasn’t her mother’s fault that she wasn’t well, because she knew her mother would give everything for it if she could.

She and her brother were unlucky, but they were also extremely lucky. Sun Baoqian looked at Su Xiaolu. It would be even better if she could recover.

She would be able to become friends with this amazing young doctor, just like the close friends in the books. But now, in her current state, she didn’t dare to say that she wanted to befriend her. Therefore, in the face of Su Xiaolu’s smile, Sun Baoqian lowered her head.

When Su Xiaolu saw Sun Baoqian looking at her, she smiled at her, but Sun Baoqian lowered her head shyly.

Sun Bocheng and Sun Ziqian returned quickly, holding the written agreement with the Sun residence’s seal stamped on it.

They brought it to Old Wu and let him take a look.

Old Wu took it and looked at it. Then, he waved at Su Xiaolu and said, “Girl, come here.”

Su Xiaolu walked over obediently.

Old Wu said seriously, “Take a look.”

Su Xiaolu looked at it and nodded. “Master, what they promised just now is written on it.”

Old Wu nodded and folded the letter. Then, he said to Su Xiaolu, “Girl, remember this. This is very important. If you meet some unreasonable and ungrateful people, this thing can be used, understand?”

Although most people did not dare to offend the divine doctor, and although he had never encountered such a thing in all his years, this was just in case.

Sun Bocheng and Sun Ziqian knew this was Old Wu warning them.

They were silent as they watched Old Wu instruct Su Xiaolu on some sect rules.

Su Xiaolu nodded seriously. “Thank you for your guidance, Master. I’ll remember it.”

Even before she knew more about the sect, Su Xiaolu was already looking forward to it.

She liked the rules. She would follow them and pass them on.

Old Wu nodded in satisfaction and reached out to stroke Su Xiaolu’s hair. He turned to Sun Bocheng and Sun Ziqian and said, “This document only covers the treatment of your two grandsons. As for your treatment, it’s another matter.”

Sun Bocheng nodded repeatedly. “Yes, yes, yes, we know.”

The Sun family would not renege on this.

Finally, Old Wu said, “This disciple of mine has yet to finish her apprenticeship, so don’t let the news of her treating your family’s illness spread and affect her life. Don’t let others know that I’m here either. If you disturb my peaceful life, don’t blame me for falling out with you. No matter how capable my disciple is, she has to listen to me and treat your family’s illness. If there’s a need, you’ll be responsible for food, clothing, accommodation, and transportation.”

Sun Bocheng and Sun Ziqian agreed.

None of these requests was too much to ask. Of course, they would keep it a secret, not for anyone else, but for themselves.

There were many famous families in the world who were looking for the divine doctor. There were even more powerful people than the Sun family. If they knew that the divine doctor was here, the Sun family would not have a peaceful life.

The viciousness of the human heart could not be underestimated. Many people could not bear to see others living well. Therefore, without Old Wu’s special request, the Sun residence would seal their mouths and prevent others from spreading this matter.

They came out of Sun Baoqian’s courtyard.

Su Xiaolu and Old Wu were arranged to stay in a small courtyard.

Old Wu also wrote some prescriptions and asked the Sun residence to prepare medicinal herbs. Some of the medicinal herbs were very expensive, but fortunately, they were not used much.

After chasing away all the servants of the Sun residence, Old Wu closed the courtyard door and said, “Girl, do you have a way to deal with Sun Baoqian and Sun Baoshan?”

He hadn’t had a chance to ask just now. Now that he had a chance, Old Wu wanted to ask.

Su Xiaolu nodded. “Let’s clear the poison in their bodies first and let them slowly recuperate. I’ll make some qi-nourishing medicine for them to take every day and adjust their diet.”

The most serious thing about Sun Baoqian and Sun Baoshan’s bodies was the poison. Among them, there was the poison passed down from the Sun family that destroyed their physiques. There was also the poison left behind from the medicine that Madam Lian had taken to protect her pregnancy, as well as from the body-nourishing medicine that they had taken over the years.

Purging poison was not a matter of a day or two, let alone this kind of poison that they were born with and accumulated over time.

Only after removing the poison could the body be nourished again to slowly return to normal. This process would take several years.

Seeing that Su Xiaolu had a way, Old Wu nodded in satisfaction. “Not bad. You don’t need me to interfere with your talent at all. You can do it very well. I don’t have to worry anymore. I’ll leave my words here. You just have to do it boldly. If anything really happens, I’ll take care of it for you.”

Old Wu stroked Su Xiaolu’s hair gently and said. He gave her enough confidence to fly high and do whatever she wanted.

Su Xiaolu smiled and threw herself into Old Wu’s arms. “Thank you, Master.”

Old Wu was very uncomfortable. He quickly pushed Su Xiaolu away and said, “How many times have I told you about this? How embarrassing!”

Su Xiaolu smiled. Hehe, she realized that her master was a man who was afraid of women!

Since the old man was so cute, she decided not to tease him.

Su Xiaolu ran out of the house and looked around the courtyard. It was quite complete.

There was a small kitchen, convenient for making medicine.

After a few prescriptions were sent out, the Sun residence also became busy.

Su Xiaolu and Old Wu didn’t need to worry about Sun Bocheng’s and Madam Lian’s medicine. They just needed acupuncture.

At night, after Su Xiaolu and Old Wu had eaten, the master and disciple sent a servant to pass the message.

The family learned that the treatment would begin today.

Sun Bocheng, his son, and Madam Lian were all very surprised, but it was a good thing to start treatment early.

As Madam Lian was a woman, she was arranged to be with Sun Baoqian and Sun Baoshan for Su Xiaolu to administer acupuncture, while Old Wu would administer acupuncture to Sun Bocheng and Sun Ziqian.

Su Xiaolu carried a needle bag and went over with Madam Lian.

On the way, Madam Lian asked gently, “Young doctor, is the dinner to your liking?”
