Chapter 97: Not Allowed to Treat

“I can’t cure it.” Su Wan spread her hands, “Each profession has its own expertise, I can only treat diseases, not detoxify.”

Disappointment surfaced in the old maid’s eyes, “Can’t it be cured?”

She hasn’t even gone to see it yet.

What if a miracle happens?

When the old maid saw Su Wan’s expression, these two sentences were stuck in her throat and she couldn’t spit them out.

The corners of her mouth were clearly raised, with a smile, but the smile did not reach her eyes, a pair of clear and bright eyes, coldly transparent.

“I can’t cure it, I can’t.” Su Wan touched the old lady’s hand, preparing to put it back under the quilt, but her fingers were held by a very light force, she suddenly raised her head, just to see the old lady’s tightly closed eyes open. Tears rolled down from the corners of her eyes, her breath was rapid, she opened her mouth weakly, “Wanwan, my Wanwan, is that you? Are you back?”

She saw Su Wan’s clothes clearly, as if a piece of meat had been cut out of her heart, her fingers trembling, wanting to lift up to touch Su Wan’s face, wondering if it was a hallucination that appeared when she was about to run out of oil and become exhausted, but she was too weak to lift it.

Su Wan held her hand and placed it on her own face, “Grandmother, I’m back.”

“It’s good to be back, it’s good to be back.” The old lady Su touched her soft cheek, shaking her head and murmuring, “No… don’t cure…”

Su Wan was stunned, then she saw the old lady take a deep breath, stammering, and said with difficulty, “If you cure him to death, you will be ruined.”

People will spread rumors, Su Wan resents Marquis of Dingyuan for exchanging the marriage, so she deliberately killed him.

This big hat is buckled down, Su Wan will not be able to turn over in this life.

“Don’t cure, you… you don’t… don’t cure…”

The old lady is very disappointed in Marquis of Dingyuan, he has never treated Su Wan as a daughter, never been a good father for a day. Occasionally being good to Su Wan, all have ulterior motives.

His heart leans towards Qinglan and her daughter, elevating a concubine’s daughter to that position, and throwing his own legitimate eldest daughter to the countryside. Every time the old lady thinks about it, her heart aches, and she hates it so much that she grits her teeth. She shouldn’t have been kind and soft-hearted to Qinglan in the first place, allowing this woman to harm the Marquis’s mansion.

“Children are filial, they… they deserve the love of their elders.”

The old lady forcefully gripped Su Wan’s hand, not allowing her to be foolishly filial.

Su Jihong is still alive, Qinglan has a backer, and this mother and daughter duo are uncertain about how to stir up trouble.

Su Wan has such a good ability, so this mother and daughter will not let her go.

Between her son and granddaughter, the old lady chose the latter.

“I won’t treat him, grandmother, I won’t.” Su Wan saw her panting like a broken bellows. She patted the old lady’s chest, and comforted her, “Even if you force me to treat him, I won’t.”

The old lady relaxed, moved her lips wanting to smile, but burst into heart-wrenching coughs.

It took a while for her to recover, and her tear-filled eyes lovingly gazed at her, “Good girl Wanwan.”

Tears welled up in Su Wan’s eyes, reminding her of her paternal grandfather and maternal grandfather.

What they often said to her was “Good girl Wanwan.”

“You have a good sleep, I’ll watch over you.”

Su Wan sat on the stool by the bed, and took a handkerchief to wipe the cold sweat from the old lady’s forehead.

The old lady refused to close her eyes. She couldn’t get enough of looking at Su Wan, she stared at Su Wan, “You’ve lost weight.”

“Girls look better when they’re a bit thin.” Su Wan pinched the soft flesh on her face, pouting, “I have plenty of flesh.”

The old lady laughed, and said weakly, “You just arrived in the capital, go wash up and change into clean clothes.”

Su Wan didn’t move, “I’ll leave after you sleep.”

The old lady helplessly closed her eyes, and after a while, she opened them again.

“Wanwan, now that you’re back in the capital, what are your plans?”
