Carrying the little lucky star, leading the villain on the road to exile

Gu Kaiyuan wanted to curse. He had already rejected him so obviously, and such a smart person was actually pretending to be stupid.

Taking a deep breath, she said, "Although Granny Pang knows some medical skills, she can't handle all symptoms. I'm afraid she might offend someone important."

“If your elder doesn’t live too far away, I can let her come along, but what if she can’t be cured…” She’s already said that, so I’m sure she knows what it means to refuse.

But he ultimately misjudged people's hearts. No matter how upright Xu Zitian was, he was willing to put aside his pride for the sake of his family.

“I know this is putting you in a difficult position,” Xu Zitian said, knowing that he couldn’t keep quiet at this point. “That’s my mentor. He lives in the capital now. He’s getting old, and it’s not easy for him to travel back and forth. So we have to trouble Granny Pang to make the trip.”

But don't worry, I will arrange for someone to accompany her along the way, so that Granny Pang will not suffer.

I can assure you here that as long as Granny Pang is willing to make this trip, I will accept this favor regardless of whether she can save the patient or not.

"If you have any needs in the future, as long as they don't violate the law, I will try my best to meet them."

Gu Kaiyuan really wanted to sneer, but he also knew that the person in front of him was not someone he could offend. Although the other party was just a minor county magistrate, he had a much bigger backer behind him.

"I need to ask Granny Pang about this. She's not one of our servants; she comes and goes as she pleases here."

"Oh, isn't she a servant of the Bai family?"

Gu Kaiyuan shook his head with a wry smile, "Lord Xu is joking. She is my wife's teacher. Years ago, she received a favor from my mother-in-law because of some things, which is why she was willing to come out of seclusion to help take care of my wife."

Although they appear to be master and servant to outsiders, they are actually our elders.

When she first arrived, Granny Pang gave her some indentures, but Bai Suihe hadn't gone through the government with these, so Xu Zitian probably wouldn't be able to find anything out.

She had seen other people's indentures before, and they were all genuine, but Pang Mama's was handwritten by her. She only found out a few days ago when she asked her mother-in-law that she had canceled Pang Mama's slave status many years ago.

However, Granny Pang was only interested in medicine in her life, and she didn't want to be as busy as those doctors, so she simply devoted herself to studying medicine at the estate under Madam Bai's name.

The reason she came here this time was because Bai Suihe was implicated by the Gu family. Madam Bai was worried that there might be something wrong with the fetus in his womb or his health, so she wrote a letter asking Granny Pang to come out of retirement.

"I see," Xu Zitian also felt that Gu Kaiyuan had no reason to lie to him about this matter, which made things a bit difficult.

People who are truly capable often have rather eccentric temperaments.

Since Gu Kaiyuan and his group cannot control others, they have no way to start from this point.

"I wonder if I could ask the old nanny to come out for a moment? I will personally invite her."

Gu Kaiyuan then sent someone down to find someone. Fortunately, the one serving tea with Madam today was Zisu, who was always quite clever and could help Madam and the nanny prepare in advance.

When Bai Suihe heard this request, her first reaction was, "We're not going. It's so far from here to the capital, it would be too much of a hassle."

Granny Pang fell into thought, "If I remember correctly, Lord Xu's mentor was Grand Tutor Lu, and his illness is quite troublesome."

Bai Suihe: "Granny, do you know what illness Grand Tutor Lu has?"

“I’ve heard other doctors mention it before,” after all, I’ve discussed medical techniques with them quite a bit these past few days, and they’ve also mentioned some difficult and complicated cases. This Grand Tutor Lu is a famous person, and his disciples have been seeking medical treatment everywhere, so he’s already well-known in the medical community.

"What illness does he have?" Bai Suihe had been eager to learn about the various symptoms these days, and had even forgotten about Xu Zitian.

"What a coincidence, diabetes!"

“That’s diabetes,” Bai Suihe blinked. “I wonder how serious it is?” There are many types of diabetes, but most can be controlled.

"Even the imperial physicians in the palace couldn't do anything, so of course we were helpless as well." Granny Pang knew who it was, and knew that Xu Zitian's trip had been in vain.

The imperial physicians in the palace have done a very good job.

It's quite remarkable that he's managed to control it for so many years. According to them, this Grand Tutor Lu has a strong appetite, so it's fair to say that he's the one who's ruined his health.

Even a miracle doctor couldn't save a patient who doesn't follow medical advice.

Bai Suihe: "We haven't encountered such a case before. Does the nanny have any remedies?"

In later generations, this would also be a rather troublesome illness, but she really didn't know about it in the traditional Chinese medicine of the past.

“There is no cure. The only thing to do is to change one’s lifestyle and diet. This all depends on the patient’s own perseverance…” Granny Pang said a lot about this symptom, which made Zisu, who was on the phone, a little anxious.

Finally, she couldn't help but step forward and interrupt them, "Madam, Granny Pang, the master is still waiting for our reply."

"Granny, shall we go and see him?"

Granny Pang then stood up. "Then let's go see him. It's better to clarify some things face to face."

Bai Suihe also stood up, "I'll go with you."

Granny Pang did not refuse. She could tell that the madam was not good at managing household affairs, and she had been teaching her these skills. However, compared to medical skills, Bai Suihe was not as attentive.

However, since she has cultivated some capable people around her, the lady doesn't need to do everything herself.

However, we will inevitably have to deal with officials in the future. Xu Zitian is a relatively kind person, so let's start with him and let the lady get to know him first.

The two arrived at the reception room and greeted Xu Zitian, who was sitting in the main seat.

Xu Zitian, needing a favor from the other party, quickly said, "No need for formalities. I apologize for my abrupt visit today."

After exchanging pleasantries, Xu Zitian explained his purpose.

Granny Pang said, "It's not that I want to refuse you, sir, but the elder you're referring to must be Grand Tutor Lu, right?"

Xu Zitian nodded. He wasn't surprised that Granny Pang knew about this. After all, he and his fellow disciples had been seeking medical help for some time, and probably all the doctors in the Rong Dynasty knew about it.

"If it were Grand Tutor Lu, I could tell Lord Xu directly that I have no way to treat his illness."

Xu Zitian was somewhat disappointed, but still wanted to try his best. "Granny, you haven't even seen my mentor, how can you make such a decision?"

“We doctors are all in the same boat. We’ve all studied Lu Taifu’s illness quite a bit.” Granny Pang felt there was nothing wrong with talking about it. Since everyone was making such a big fuss about finding a good doctor, Lu Taifu’s illness was no secret.

"In fact, the solutions provided by the imperial physicians are the best. If we want to prevent the condition from worsening, we still have to rely on the patient."

"There are certain foods that are forbidden to be eaten; under no circumstances should they be ingested, otherwise even a divine physician cannot save you."

Xu Zitian had heard similar comments many times, but his mentor only had that one hobby. If he really couldn't eat it, as his mentor said, he'd be better off dead; life had no joy left. (End of Chapter)
