The woman said with a grim expression, "I don't care whether you live or die. Didn't I tell you that my father is only about to take his last breath, and you still come to disturb him? Get out of here immediately. If you dare to pester me again, I will report you to the police and have you all thrown into jail!"
Before the little thief could open his mouth, he heard Lin Yiwan's gentle voice: "Grandma, I know medical skills. Can you let me help take Master Guan's pulse?"
The woman looked her up and down. Seeing that she was well-dressed and spoke politely, she must be the wife of an official of noble status.
She immediately softened her tone and said, "It's not that I don't want you to see him, but my father really hasn't shown any signs of improvement. The head of the Yin family also invited a famous doctor from the capital to come, but not only did he not see any improvement, his condition has even gotten worse. He can't even eat, drink, defecate or urinate!"
As soon as she finished speaking, she heard the irritated voice of a young man from inside the house: "Mom, come back quickly, my grandfather has pooped again, and it's all over the place!"
The woman stopped talking, turned around and hurried into the house.
Zhan Yan asked worriedly, "Wanwan, can this condition be cured?"
Lin Yiwan frowned and said, "To prevent more deaths, I must give it my all. Otherwise, we won't be able to bring the forbidden treasures back to the capital!"
Zhan Yan nodded and followed her into the house.
The woman was tidying up beside the bed when she heard footsteps at the door. She was shocked and shouted, "Who let you in? This room is so dirty and smelly. If the smell gets on you, it will be our fault!"
The young man also said with a grim expression, "Hurry up and leave! A doctor said earlier that my grandfather couldn't even eat dumplings for the New Year. What else do you want to question him about?"
Lin Yiwan said seriously, "Don't you want your grandfather to wake up and pass on his skills to you?"
The young man froze in silence for a moment before he sarcastically said, "I won't learn that trick. Ever since my grandfather set up the trap in the Yin family's forbidden area, he's been like this since he came back. We all know he was set up by someone. Because he's so stubborn, no matter who asks for a solution, he refuses to tell!"
After hearing this, Lin Yiwan couldn't help but be moved. This old Guan had suffered so much in order to protect the wealth of the forbidden area. For both public and private reasons, she would do her best to save him.
She said sincerely, "I can assure you that even if I cure Mr. Guan, I won't force him to ask anything. I just hope he can live a decent life!"
The young man fell silent. He turned to look at the busy woman and said, "Mother, are you done? She's really different from the doctors who came before. She really wants to save Grandpa!"
At this time, the woman said without turning around: "Let them wait outside for a while. I will thoroughly clean your grandfather and then invite them in!"
Zhan Yan and Lin Yiwan left, and the young man made some rough tea for them.
He said awkwardly, "This is the only tea I have at home. It's been sitting there for a long time, so you'll have to make do with it!"
Lin Yiwan understood how precious these coarse teas were to them. They certainly would not drink them themselves, and would only take them out carefully when there were distinguished guests at home.
She reached out and picked it up, lowered her head and took a small sip.
Zhan Yan didn't act pretentiously and drank it all up.
The young man was very surprised. He asked tentatively, "You, you really don't mind? You can drink this kind of crude tea?"
Zhan Yan was the first to answer: "In the military camp, being able to drink coarse tea is sometimes a luxury!"
The man's eyes suddenly lit up: "You've been in a military camp? Aren't you a high-ranking official in the capital?"
Zhan Yan suddenly laughed: "Why can't a high-ranking official stay in the military camp? My name is Zhan Yan, I am the current Marquis Zhan Yi, and I am also the general guarding the border!"
The young man suddenly became excited: "I've heard of you. When the Liuli City commander rebelled, it was you who arrived in time with the imperial army to kill him and scare off the barbarian army!"
Zhan Yan nodded: "It's me, now you can finally rest assured, we are different from those who wanted to treat your grandfather before!"
The young man scratched his head. "It's indeed different. I know you're with the eldest daughter of the Yin family, and all that wealth originally belonged to her. If Grandfather could truly regain consciousness, he would be very willing to destroy those mechanisms!"
At this time, the woman also came out of the house and agreed: "It should be returned to its original owner!"
The man quickly stood up and asked, "Mother, how is my grandfather?"
The woman sighed helplessly, "It's not good. His breathing is very light. I'm afraid he won't survive for more than a few days!"
Lin Yiwan strode into the room and saw Mr. Guan, who was already very thin and withered, lying on the bed.
His dark eyes were tightly closed, his mouth was half open, and he looked extremely weak.
The woman took very good care of him. Even though he was so seriously ill, there was not a speck of dirt on his skin.
Especially his wrists and fingernails, which were very clean.
Lin Yiwan first took his pulse, and her expression gradually became solemn and ugly.
Zhan Yan walked over to her and asked in a low voice, "How is it? How is Mr. Guan's health? Is there any hope of recovery?"
Lin Yiwan gritted her teeth and said, "There are no less than twenty kinds of poisons in his body. It's a miracle that he can hold on until now!"
Zhan Yan couldn't help but change his expression. He turned to look at the woman and asked, "Since your father fell ill, how many people have come to look for him?"
The woman thought carefully before answering, "There must have been at least a dozen groups of people. Every time they came, they would force him to take medicine, saying they wanted to see if he could be cured!"
Lin Yiwan's eyes flashed with a chilling coldness, and she said in a cold voice, "Those scumbags are truly worthless! They knew that Mr. Guan's health would never recover, so they poured poison into his mouth, thinking that if they couldn't get the wealth, no one else could either!"
The woman was shaking violently. She never imagined that this was the reason why her father's condition was getting worse.
She fell to her knees and said, "Dad, I'm sorry. It's my fault. I shouldn't have let those people in. I thought they could really cure you, those jackals. I watched helplessly as they poured poison down your throat!"
She raised her hand and slapped her cheek hard, her eyes full of regret and self-blame.
The young man immediately hugged her tightly and said, "Mother, I don't blame you. It's because those people are too evil. They are too dark-hearted. If Grandfather were to wake up right now, he would only feel sorry for you, not resent you!"
