My Wife is Unbeatable in the Whole World, Touch Me If You Dare!-Chapter 631 - 386: Fierce Epidemic_2
Chapter 631: Chapter 386: Fierce Epidemic_2
She thought she would never see the young master again in this lifetime. Since heaven has given her this opportunity, surely it is to let her repay the young master’s kindness properly.
Li Nuo lowered his head to look at Gu Yanran; whatever she does, she is always very serious, giving a vulnerable and pitiful impression.
Her background is indeed pitiable.
Li Nuo thought of something and said, "Actually, your father was originally a good official, so you don’t have to blame him too much..."
After becoming the Scheeren of the Secretariat, Li Nuo was able to access the details of the Eastern Palace Case back then. Gu Wenhan was threatened with the lives of his wife and child, and among these threats, the School of Cross and Vertical intervened. After he left Chang’an, he wanted to serve well as an official but was gradually corrupted by King Han’s people using methods of the School of Cross and Vertical...
For prominent figures to manipulate the lives of ordinary people, it is an easy thing.
Ordinary people facing such extraordinary power have no means whatsoever.
Gu Yanran clenched her fist tightly and said in a low voice, "Can the School of Cross and Vertical casually turn good people into bad ones..."
Li Nuo exhaled a sigh and said, "I also know some of the School of Cross and Vertical’s methods; turning good people into bad, or bad people into good ones is no difficult task for them..."
Gu Yanran slowly relaxed her clenched fist and said, "A noble character governs objects without being governed by objects; the young master is not like them..." freeωebnovēl.c૦m
Li Nuo looked at her.
Her words coincided with his own thoughts all along.
A noble character governs objects without being governed by objects, meaning to master external things without being driven by them.
The abilities of various schools, for him, are merely means to accomplish tasks; he would not forsake his true self to cultivate any particular school.
She truly is a talented woman; such words, Jiaren and the others could not say.
Although Jiaren attended school when young, she often skipped classes for martial practice. Even now, as she reads actively, she has not yet cultivated the demeanor of a scholar.
Anning is slightly better than Jiaren, but she also has a playful personality and has only learned some basics.
Yiren grew up in the Sanqing Sect, has read many Martial Path Classics, yet few serious books.
Phoenix is considered the most cultured in the family, but her culture is more reflected in talents like singing, dancing, playing instruments, and painting.
In future, when Li Yan and Li Nian grow up, Jiaren, Anning, Yiren, and Phoenix would not be able to teach them to read. As Li Nuo looked at Gu Yanran, squatting on the ground and earnestly washing his feet, a thought suddenly arose in his mind...
...
Du Mansion.
The Du Family Master went to see the affected people and felt relieved.
According to Li Nuo’s prescription, after getting the medicine, their condition indeed improved significantly.
However, though they obtained the prescription, the key to healing is not the herbs, but the Fifth Realm’s Medical School True Qi, so they must keep helping Li Nuo capture people...
To this day, he still does not know how his family contracted this epidemic.
It seems that besides the Du family, no one in the entire Du County and Xuan City has reported similar symptoms. Could it be that the source of this plague is within the Du family itself?
While still puzzled, the steward hurriedly entered, saying, "Master, someone from the Cui family has arrived..."
Among the Six Great Families, to ensure the purity of Martial Path bloodlines, they often marry among each other. The Du Family Master’s fifth sister is married into the Cui family. He walked to the front hall and greeted a man with a fist salute saying, "Brother Shaoyou, long time no see..."
But the man did not indulge in niceties and said, "Brother Du, is Imperial Censor Li Nuo at your Du family?"
The Du Family Master was slightly taken aback, then nodded and said, "He is currently at the Du Mansion; do you have something to discuss with him?"
The man sighed in relief and said, "It’s good that he is here. After Cui Xian and his wife returned, they mysteriously contracted an illness with vomiting and diarrhea, continuous high fever; in one night, more than ten people in the Cui family caught the same symptoms. Several Fourth Realm Medical School members tried various methods but were helpless. I heard from the Wang family that the Imperial Censor Li Nuo has superb medical skills; after much inquiry, I found out he is at the Du family. Quickly invite him here..."
The Du Family Master heard this and had a slightly embarrassed expression.
Is the Cui family infected too?
If I had known, I wouldn’t have let the fifth sister and them return...
He coughed lightly and said to the man with Cui surname, "Brother Shaoyou, the matter is like this..."
After he explained, the man with Cui surname said in shock, "You mean that the disease was brought from the Du family to infect the Cui family by them?"
The Du Family Master said, "Though there’s much to say, my Du family certainly did not intend this. But you needn’t worry; regarding this illness, Lord Li has a method for treatment, and within a few days, you can ask him to come to the Cui family..."
Upon hearing this, the man with Cui surname was relieved again; looking at him, he asked, "Brother Du, how much silver did you spend to invite him to the mansion for treatment?"
The Du Family Master shook his head and said, "Why does your Cui family always like to relate everything to silver? Lord Li is a Confucian scholar; can one talk money with a scholar? Fortunately, you asked me first; otherwise, you might not have been able to invite him..."
The man with the Cui surname was slightly stunned, then clasped his fist seriously, saying, "Please guide me, Brother Du!"
The Du Family Master stroked his short beard and said, "To invite people to help, one must cater to their preferences. This Lord Li is a practitioner of Legalism: one, he likes handling cases, catching corrupt officials and killing tyrants and scoundrels; two, he enjoys writing books; scholars desire fame, writing books can leave a name for posterity. You understand my meaning, right?"
The man with the Cui surname nodded and said, "Understood, understood..."
Before long.
Li Nuo looked at the Du Family Master and another unfamiliar man, uncertainly asking, "Are you saying that there are also more than ten people infected with this plague in your Cui family?"
