The next morning, Jiang Sining asked Si Chenan and others to stay in the inn. After disguising himself, he took a carriage to the mansion of Doctor Li.

After the doorman informed, a boy came out soon. He should be the disciple of Doctor Li, and was specifically responsible for receiving Jiang Sining.

"Mr. Xiao, please follow me."

Under the guidance of the boy, Jiang Si Ning came to a quiet and elegant courtyard. After serving him fragrant tea, the boy said, "Master has to receive guests from the capital today. I'm afraid he doesn't have time to greet Master Xiao. I hope Master Xiao won't blame me."

In such a wealthy family, even ordinary boys are so well-mannered, which shows that Doctor Li is indeed different from others.

"Then I wonder when your master will be free?"

"It may take a few days," the boy replied. "The guest from the capital has a strange disease. The master has been studying it for three consecutive days, but has not found a cure. According to his temper, if he doesn't find out the reason, he will not pay attention to other things for the time being."

Jiang Sining thought for a moment and said, "Please tell your master that Xiao may have a way to remove the mark on the distinguished guest's arm."

The boy was obviously surprised. The distinguished guest had repeatedly reminded her that she must never tell anyone else about the mark on her arm.

How did this young master know this?

But he was too shocked and suspicious to ask more questions, so he could only say goodbye in a hurry and go to find his master Li Chenghai.

After waiting for another cup of tea, quick footsteps were heard outside the courtyard, and soon an old man with white hair and beard walked in.

Jiang Sining stepped forward and saluted: "Xiao greets Divine Doctor Li."

"Haha...Mr. Xiao, you don't have to be polite. I am a wild man from the mountains, so I don't have so many rules." Divine Doctor Li said, "As for the so-called miracle doctor, it's all because of the flattery of fellow villagers. It's Mr. Xiao who foresaw the illness of my distinguished guest. He is the real immortal."

Jiang Sining smiled faintly, not caring about the hidden meaning in his words.

Anyway, as long as the old man comes to see her, she will have achieved half of her goal today.

Doctor Li asked the boy and maid who followed him to leave, sat down at the small table, and poured himself a cup of tea.

"This Mr. Xiao... no, it should be Miss Xiao," said Doctor Li, "I wonder what you want to teach me?"

Jiang Sining was not surprised that he saw through her disguise.

If a person who is called a miracle doctor cannot tell that she is a woman, then the title of this miracle doctor is really exaggerated.

Exposing her true identity in front of her was a straightforward person, so she did not beat around the bush and said directly: "To be honest, I am the eldest daughter-in-law of the general's family in the capital. This time I came here for the matter of my mother-in-law."

Doctor Li was slightly surprised and asked, "Did Si Chenan...get married?"

"It's not a marriage," Jiang Sining said, "it's a marriage into the wife's family."

Doctor Li: ...To be honest, this was something he had never thought of.

Because he is the son of a great general and has a great hatred against him, so how could he marry into his wife's family?

"Girl, may I ask where you are from?"

"Liuyun Village, Gaochuan County."

Well, he married a village girl!

Jiang Sining continued: "I came here today to take my mother-in-law back home so that our family can be reunited."

"Haha, the general's wife is indeed in my house," said Doctor Li, "but, without any evidence, how can I trust you?"

"I can ask Si Chenan to come in person."

"Then how do I know whether Si Chenan was coerced by you?"

Jiang Sining understood that the old man just didn't want Si Chenan's mother to leave, and he could find a hundred thousand reasons to refuse.

"Doctor Li, what do you need to let my mother-in-law go?"

"Well..." Divine Doctor Li thought for a moment and said, "Miss, answer my question and help me accomplish something."

"Please say."

"How did the girl know that the noble had a mark on his arm?"

Jiang Sining knew he would ask this, so she had already thought of the answer: "My mentor told me."

"Who is your master?"

"He's not some great doctor, just a traveling doctor named Xiao," Jiang Sining said. "Last year, he happened to pass by Gaochuan County. By chance, he accepted me as his apprentice. After teaching me a set of exquisite acupuncture techniques, he left without a trace and we never met again. Last month, he suddenly asked someone to bring me a letter, mentioning that a nobleman in the capital had developed a strange disease. Coincidentally, I found out yesterday that the nobleman was at the home of Divine Doctor Li."

Doctor Li didn't know whether this was true or not, because he had never heard of a famous doctor named Xiao, let alone the Lingxiu acupuncture method.

But it seems that only this can explain why a weak woman dares to call herself a doctor and dares to treat nobles. She must have something impressive.

"Okay, I'll believe you for now." Doctor Li said, "Then may I ask, young lady, can you cure your strange disease?"

“You’ll know only after you see it.”

Doctor Li thought for a moment and said, "Young lady, please wait a moment."

A moment later, two maids came to Jiang Sining with a brand new set of clothes, saying that Doctor Li had already talked to the noble lady and agreed to let her go and take a look.

However, there is a condition, which is that she must change into women's clothes and meet with her original appearance.

This is understandable. After all, to diagnose a disease one has to feel the pulse. How could the daughter of a Shangshu family allow a young man to touch her?

So she took the clothes, changed into her room, and followed the two maids to another quiet courtyard.

As soon as I entered the door, my sight was attracted by a beautiful young woman.

She was wearing a lavender dress, exuding nobility and elegance. Her delicate face was like a masterpiece by a sculptor, delicate and moving, and her brows revealed a noble aristocratic temperament.

Her skin is as soft and delicate as snow, as if it could be blown away, and her bright eyes are like deep lakes, making people unable to help but immerse themselves in them.

This made Jiang Sining sigh inwardly, she is indeed a natural born heroine, her appearance and temperament are impeccable.

While she was quickly looking at Zeng Junru, Zeng Junru was also looking at her. A hint of slight surprise instantly flashed in her originally lifeless eyes.

Because in her world, she had never seen a woman as stunning as Jiang Sining, with impeccable facial features and a figure that was slightly better than hers.

The key is the calmness and confidence that shines between her brows, which makes her exude an intoxicating temperament.

But this godlike figure, also a doctor highly respected by Dr. Li, has an even brighter halo than her, the daughter of a minister.

Jealousy, like a small seed, quickly took root and sprouted in Zeng Junru's heart.

Under the introduction of Doctor Li, Jiang Sining met Zeng Junru and began to prepare to treat her.

Zeng Junru gently pulled up her sleeve, revealing a dark green mark on her left arm.

Just as described in the original book, it was an oval mark the size of an egg, and there were some strange patterns of unknown meaning. It was indeed a bit ugly growing on the arm of a beautiful woman.

But this is a plug-in, an extremely huge space plug-in.

Its predecessor was actually an inconspicuous jade pendant. After being accidentally stained with the heroine's blood, the jade pendant was imprinted on her arm, waiting to be fully activated when the time was right.

"Girl, can you see the clue?"

"Almost," Jiang Sining said, "This is not some strange disease."

"If it's not a strange disease, then what is it?"

"It's Gu."

When these words were spoken, Doctor Li and Zeng Junru's expressions changed at the same time.

In folk legends, the thing called Gu is very mysterious. It is said that only the evil sorcerers in Southeast Asia can plant Gu, and once it is planted, it will never be removed unless the person who planted the Gu comes to remove it personally.

Zeng Junru was only a 14-year-old girl. She was frightened and asked quickly, "Sister, do you know how to solve this poison?"

"If I want to remove the poison, the process is extremely complicated," Jiang Sining said, "I must first know where this poison came from and how it was planted."

"This... I don't know!" Zeng Junru was about to cry, "Sister, you must save me!"

"It's not that you don't know, you just don't understand the secret," Jiang Sining said, "How about this, I ask, and you answer."

"it is good."

"Think carefully, have you ever come into contact with something of this shape?"

Zeng Junru thought about it carefully and finally shook her head.

"Think about it carefully," Jiang Sining said, "Maybe you only saw it once, but you must have seen it. For example, a sign, a box for rouge, or a jade pendant."

"Jade pendant?" Zeng Junru blinked. "It seems that I once had such a jade pendant. Someone gave it to my father, and my father gave it to me. The shape is similar to this one. At that time, I thought its color was not good-looking, so I put it away and never touched it again."

"That's it."

Doctor Li and Zeng Junru looked at each other. Just by picking it up, the Gu could be planted?

Isn’t this too scary?

"Is it so easy to poison someone?" asked Doctor Li.

"That depends on who cast the Gu," Jiang Sining said, "Ordinary Gu Masters don't have this ability, but the top Gu Masters can do it."

"Then what harm does this Gu do?"

"This is called the Beauty-stealing Gu," Jiang Sining made up a story in his mind, "The people who are infected with this Gu are usually young and beautiful women. After being infected, her face will age rapidly, and her beauty and life span will be taken away by the person who planted the Gu."

"what?"

When Zeng Junru heard this, her face turned pale with fright.

Her appearance is her greatest reliance, and she even wants to rely on this face to become a prince's consort.

If she gets old and ugly, how could the Ninth Prince still be interested in her?

"Sister, save me!"

Doctor Li also said: "Miss, if there is a way, please help me."

"It's not that I won't save him, but I can't guarantee that I can save him." Jiang Sining said.

"Then there is still a way. You can give it a try, young lady." Doctor Li paused and said, "Please tell me if you have any request."

"It's not really a request," Jiang Sining said, "Apart from what we agreed on before, there's only one small request."

"Girl, please speak."

"I hope Dr. Li can give me a copy of the medical books in your house."

"Hahaha... How difficult is that?" Doctor Li was relieved when he heard this. This is what a true doctor is like. "Don't even mention one copy. Even if the young lady wants ten copies, I will find someone to copy them right away."

"Besides, before I take action, I need that jade pendant."

"Yes, yes," Zeng Junru said quickly, "I put the jade pendant in a box and carried it with other jewelry. I'll have someone send it over right away."

After thinking for a while, she said, "Sister, I have a lot of beautiful jewelry. You can pick a few pieces. It will be a token of your appreciation."

The daughter of the Shangshu family is different. When she went out to see a doctor, she brought the jewelry box with her.

But forget about the jewelry; she only wants that ugly jade pendant.
