Zhan Yan waved his hand: "No need, just go find a doctor directly!"

The elder was a little confused: "Doctor?"

Zhan Yan urged: "Go quickly!"

Soon, the doctor from outside was called in.

Zhan Yan handed him his wrist and said, "Come and take my pulse. How is my health now?"

The doctor did not dare to delay and quickly caught his wrist.

After a moment, he asked in shock, "My Lord, your body has recovered?"

The elder said nervously, "What do you mean by recovery? Doctor Guan, please explain clearly!"

Doctor Guan smiled and replied, "The Marquis's hidden illness has been cured. His blood and energy are now strong and he is in excellent health. I believe that the Marquis Zhan Yi's mansion will be able to have a new child in the near future!"

Just one sentence made everyone present change their expression.

Especially Lu and Pang, their faces were extremely colorful, first blue, then white, and then black.

The elders were the first to question, "Impossible. Even the imperial physicians in the palace said that the Marquis's health would never recover. Even if the Marquis's wife knew more about medicine, it couldn't possibly be better than her grandfather's, right?"

The elder lady of the clan also spoke up immediately, "My Lord, this is no joke. We know you want to protect the Marquis' wife, but you can't lie so openly and deceive us, can you?"

Zhan Yan frowned and glanced at everyone: "What? Do you suspect that I bribed Doctor Guan? To make him lie?"

Doctor Guan's expression suddenly changed. He quickly waved his hands in denial, "That's impossible. My Lord is upright and honest. How could I be bribed?"

After a moment, he finally reacted.

He glared at the elders in dissatisfaction: "Didn't you invite me here? Why are you still suspicious of me?"

The elders' eyes were filled with reluctance. How could Zhan Yan possibly recover?

His background was originally in doubt, and he didn't know where his mother came from. However, he was lucky and won military merits, and was awarded the title of Marquis of Zhan Yi by the emperor.

Thinking that his body had been severely injured, the mansion would sooner or later be inherited by the younger generation of the family, but he did not expect such a change to happen.

He frowned and said, "Doctor Guan, this is no small matter. Are you sure you examined it carefully?"

Guan Lang felt very ashamed and angry when his Chinese medicine skills were questioned.

He said with a cold face: "If the elders don't trust me, why did they ask me to come here?"

The elder interrupted without hesitation: "This is a serious matter. Doctor Guan may have missed something. We should invite another doctor to come!"

Doctor Guan angrily said, "Alright, go ahead and ask for my help. I want to see if anyone can give a different diagnosis than mine!"

The elder looked at Zhan Yan and asked, "What do you think, Lord Marquis?"

Zhan Yan said calmly: "The elders can make the decision!"

The elder of the clan did not hesitate any longer and quickly gave Lu a look.

She stood up and said, "I'll go and invite him myself. I remember there's a doctor at Huichun Hall who's quite skilled in medicine!"

She left in a hurry and headed straight for Huichun Hall.

When she saw the doctor, she invited him into the carriage.

She pressed a gold bracelet into his hand, which immediately shocked him: "Old lady, what are you going to do?"

Mrs. Lu stroked her hair and said, "Doctor Hou, I know you've worked very hard in Huichuntang. This gold bracelet is a welcome gift for you. When you accomplish this for me, I will give you more money as a reward!"

Doctor Hou was silent for a moment before asking in confusion, "I don't know what the old lady wants me to do. But let me be frank: I won't do anything that would harm anyone's life!"

Mrs. Lu quickly explained: "It's not that serious, I just want you to lie!"

She leaned forward and whispered a few words in Doctor Hou's ear.

After hearing this, Doctor Hou's expression suddenly became solemn and ugly.

After a brief silence, he nodded: "Okay, I will do as Madam says!"

Mrs. Lu immediately narrowed her eyes and smiled: "Doctor Hou is very sensible. We are just worried about the Marquis. He is in a high position. If someone wants to plot against him, it will be easy to catch him."

Doctor Hou subconsciously asked, "So the old lady suspects that someone has altered the Marquis's pulse?"

Mrs. Lu quickly interrupted: "I didn't say that. After all, the Marquis's grandfather is the best doctor in the dynasty!"

Hou Langxin said, you didn't say it explicitly, but by secretly telling others that it was the Marquis' wife who tampered with the Marquis's pulse, didn't you?

There was no conversation along the way, and the two soon returned to the residence of Marquis Zhan Yi.

Mrs. Lu smiled and said, "I have invited Doctor Hou here. His medical skills are very impressive. The princess even had him see a doctor before!"

Doctor Hou stepped forward and saluted respectfully: "This humble servant greets Marquis Zhan Yi and his wife!"

Zhan Yan nodded indifferently: "No need to be polite, let me take your pulse first!"

Unexpectedly, Doctor Hou didn't make a move. Instead, he knelt on the ground and said, "I have come to apologize to Marquis Zhan Yi. That old lady bribed me with a gold bracelet. Please make the decision!"

Mrs. Lu was so angry that she trembled all over. She angrily accused: "What nonsense are you talking about? How could I possibly bribe you?"

Lin Yiwan sarcastically said, "If you didn't bribe him, then why did the gold bracelet that was originally on your wrist end up in Doctor Hou's hands?"

Mrs. Lu's face suddenly turned pale and ugly, and she stammered for a long time without being able to say anything.

The clan leader was furious. He rushed out and slapped her across the face. "How could you do such a thing, idiot? Why don't you apologize to the Marquis!"

Mrs. Lu was beaten black and blue. She cried and argued, "What could I have done wrong? I was only thinking about the Marquis. I was afraid that someone might have changed his pulse without him realizing it, and that he would think he was well again and then pollute our Zhan family's bloodline!"

The elder frowned pretentiously, complaining, "Why didn't you tell the Marquis earlier if you had such suspicions? Why resort to such despicable tactics?"

Lu argued aggrievedly, "How dare I?"

The elder quickly walked up to Zhan Yan and said, "My Lord, even though your aunt's methods were somewhat despicable, her original intention was for your own good. If you are deceived by appearances, I'm afraid you will be deceived even more in the future!"

Zhan Yan asked in surprise, "I am a little confused. Could you please explain it more clearly, elder? What is the manifestation?"

The elder gritted his teeth and explained, "Even though you think you're fine, and the doctor has diagnosed you as healthy from your pulse, someone actually tampered with your pulse!"

"Bang!" Lin Yiwan slammed her hand on the table. She said coldly, "Are you doubting me, elder?"

The elder replied sternly, "The bloodline of the Marquisate cannot be mixed. As an elder of the Zhan family, I will never let the Marquis fall into deception!"

Lin Yiwan raised her eyebrows and looked at Zhan Yan: "My Lord, then tell the elders in person whether I have deceived you?"
