Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

Chapter 253 – It’s Poison

The group of people entered Feng Family Residence. Nan Hua looked around as she followed beside Nan Luo. The two of them still looked very similar to each other, but her height was slightly taller than Nan Luo recently. It seemed that she would grow a bit taller first before Nan Luo then surpassed her.

The residence was big with a lot of servants around. Looking at them working around, Nan Hua could see that many of them were doing their work carefully. The atmosphere and their attitude had told her many things.

"Ao Kuai," Feng Ao Si called out when he saw them. After that, he seemed to remember that he was supposed to be greeting his grandfather first and quickly greeted the others.

Old Master Nan waved his hand. "How's your mother?"

"Mother is still sick." Feng Ao Si glanced into the room with hesitation. He was not allowed inside by the doctors.

"Old Liu, come with me."

Traveling Doctor Liu arched his eyebrows as he followed Old Master Nan. In the meantime, he also dragged Nan Hua inside.

"Master, Great General Nan is here."

The moment the door opened, Nan Hua could see that there was a man standing right beside the bed. He was tall and big with countenance very similar to Feng Ao Si. It could be said that Feng Ao Si inherited his appearance from his father. He cupped his fist when he saw Old Master Nan.

"Father in law."

"Qian Shao," Old Master Nan greeted back. He looked at his daughter on the bed and felt heartache when he saw how pale her face was. His daughter was still very lively when she left from the Capital City and yet she looked like she had turned into a ghost now.

He couldn't bear it.

General Feng, Feng Qian Shao, stepped back when he saw that there was another old man following his father in law. At the same time, the young girl that was following the two of them came into his vision.

Surprise flashed by his eyes, but he didn't question Old Master Nan's decision.

He held immense respect for this Great General who had fought at the frontline for a long time. When he was still young, he always looked up to Old Master Nan, so he was ecstatic when he could get married to Great General Nan's daughter.

Nan Si Qiao was not sleeping. She was still awake and tilted her head to the side. Upon seeing her father, she felt really bad for having to call him to Wind City. The Capital City was not near Wind City in the slightest bit.

"Father…"

"Qiao'er, you'll get well soon." Old Master Nan walked closer and grabbed his daughter's hand. After that, he glared at Traveling Doctor Liu. "Old Liu, check on her."

"Mhm." Traveling Doctor Liu took out a handkerchief and put it on top of Nan Si Qiao's wrist. It was the common practice for doctors in order to not touch the patient's body if they were women. If it was man, there was no need for such elaborate action.

The doctor at the side was stunned. He looked at General Feng, asking for permission to stop them. However, General Feng waved his hand to block the doctor he called in order not to disturb them.

"How is it, Old Liu?" Old Master Nan asked when he saw Traveling Doctor Liu backed away.

Traveling Doctor Liu rubbed his beard then turned to look at Nan Hua. "Hua'er, come here."

"Master?"

"Try to feel the pulse and tell me what you think."

Nan Hua was skeptical. Even though she had learned the traditional medicine lately, she was still very foreign in terms of detecting illness through their pulses. It would be a different matter if it was poison, though.

She was quite proficient in terms of poison since she had been dealing with them ever since she was young.

"General, are you really going to let such a young girl make the decision?" the doctor could no longer hold it in and blurted out what he wanted to say. When seeing the young girl truly stepped forward to try checking on Nan Si Qiao, he felt that the world had turned crazy.

General Feng was frowning but he didn't say anything to stop Nan Hua. He believed that Old Master Nan would not put his daughter's life on the stake. If that old man wanted his disciple to make assessment too, it meant that the illness was not serious, right?

But it has been a week and Nan Si Qiao's condition hadn't improved.

Nan Hua stepped forward and looked at her aunt. Nan Si Qiao was looking at her with her usual kind gaze as if she was not feeling any pain whatsoever. For some reasons, Nan Hua feel uncomfortable as strange feelings welling up inside her heart.

She had been dealing with painful things since young that it never mattered to her even if her bones were crushed.

But her aunt was different.

Stretching her hand, she lightly pressed it on her aunt's wrist. Astonishment flashed within her eyes when she sensed the weak pulse. After some time, Nan Hua looked at her master.

Traveling Doctor Liu smiled. "What do you think, Hua'er?"

"It's poison."

Poison?

The two men in the room instantly released murderous intent. Old Master Nan looked at General Feng. "Did you bring her anywhere dangerous?"

"She's staying at home." General Feng would never bring his wife to the frontline. What a joke. If anything happens to her, he would be killed by Great General Nan. "I didn't allow her to follow me. She has only been staying at the residence and take care of my Second Sister in law."

"What kind of poison is it?" Old Master Nan turned to look at Traveling Doctor Liu.

Traveling Doctor Liu raised his hand and then looked at Nan Hua.. It was clear, he wanted her to be the one to explain it.
