Chapter 447: Chapter 442 Yan Jinsu Shows Her Power for the First Time 26
——————-
The Wu Family received the medicine and saw it was exactly one bowl’s worth, giving each other headaches with a look.
This Yan Family’s daughter really calculated it down to a perfect flat bowl of medicine!
Moreover, since neither the father and son had a good understanding of traditional Chinese medicine, even if they tasted it themselves, they wouldn’t be able to discern the ingredients!
The Wu Family indeed invited two old Chinese medicine practitioners in advance, but when these practitioners saw the small amount of the medicine decoction, and that the bowl did not contain even a bit of residue or powder, they could at most identify the common ingredients. As for any powder or granules in the medicine, they truly had no way of identifying them.
Nowadays, many of the surviving old Chinese medicine practitioners had suffered a lot during the sixties and seventies. Not only have their bodies suffered harm, but their sense of smell and taste have also been dulled to some extent.
With such a small bowl of medicine, even if they finished tasting it, they likely wouldn’t be able to identify 70 to 80 percent of the medicine ingredients!
"Don’t bother checking, just drink it," Wu Youbai lifted his old eyelids, didn’t make it difficult for others, and directly instructed the house guards to send the two old practitioners away before slowly feeding the medicine to his eldest grandson.
It must be said, with age comes cunning. If he really had both of them take a sip or two to taste the medicine, well, we can only say that the amount of medicine decoction that Commander Wu would end up drinking would definitely be less by a small half.
And indeed, if that small half were missing, Commander Wu’s health would still improve, but certainly not as effectively as drinking the entire bowl.
Moreover, the amount of medicine Yan Jinsu had prepared was precisely calculated based on the degree of detoxification she estimated for Commander Wu!
If they saw that Commander Wu’s recovery was not as expected, Yan Jinsu didn’t need to investigate to know that the Wu Family had tampered with something behind the scenes.
However, although Wu Youbai gave strict instructions, Wu Huaimin was ultimately overcome by his medical addiction. Even though he didn’t take much, just two small sips reduced Commander Wu’s recovery by twenty percent.
Of course, the Wu Family didn’t know this at the time.
After all, Yan Jinsu had provided the full required amount for each dose; once the medicine was in their hands, how they used it was none of her concern.
The decoction was indeed made from genuine Chinese medicinal ingredients; she did not add a single drop of Spirit Core Water, as a precaution against becoming ’soft-hearted’ and ending up with dire consequences for herself again.
For Yan Jinsu, the lesson from Liu Dongzhu was enough for a lifetime.
This prescription is, in fact, the original formula for what would be known as ’Security Pills’ in future generations [do not directly correlate], capable of neutralizing most physical toxins.
The efficacy, frankly speaking, didn’t even reach half of what was developed in later generations.
Even if Yan Jinsu was helping out of a sense of justice, she wasn’t foolish enough to expose her trump cards all at once to outsiders.
After all, Xie Jingchen was still present.
Although Xie Jingchen was loyal to the state, he never failed to profit personally from opportunities, and he certainly wouldn’t relinquish such gains under the guise of morality! Otherwise, how could he provide for his family? He still had to take care of many former brothers from the Rong Army!
Although taking it alone was not as quick-acting as the future generation’s version, if used in conjunction with Yan Jinsu’s Spirit Core Water or Spirit Core Liquid, the effects would definitely be immediate.
However, once bitten, twice shy.
In the end, all these cycles of causality can just be blamed on ’fate’.
Compared to the length of Commander Wu’s treatment, the folks of X County, having been unwittingly involved, recovered quickly thanks to Yan Jinsu’s timely contribution of medicine—it only took two to three days to bring their conditions under control, and after a week, the patients were mostly cured.
After this event, Xie Jingchen and Yan Jinsu both earned great merit once again.
As Xie Jingchen was occupied with numerous duties outside, Yan Jinsu was also busy at home.
After dealing with Liu Dongzhu, she obediently stayed at home to look after the children and tend to the fields. Moreover, she took an hour each day to visit Mr. Liu at the Rong Medical Department.
Hearing about Liu Aimin’s situation, Old Man Yan Xiqing also visited a couple of times, and Yan Jinsu, seeing the regret in Elder Yan’s eyes, sighed inwardly.
No matter how angry she had been with Old Man Yan before, seeing his hair turned white, what more could she do?
She couldn’t truly ignore the blood ties that bound her, could she?
Fortunately, it seemed that Qi Chunlan knew Yan Jinsu didn’t like her, so since returning to Beijing, she hadn’t come over again.
In any case, everyone kept to themselves like this, their feelings present but akin to the courteous and reserved relations between gentlemen.
When Yan Dongsheng came to help last time, he didn’t see Yan Jinsu, but her attitude towards the Yan Family had gradually softened.
At the very least, she no longer spoke their titles with such formal detachment.
Nevertheless, Yan Jinsu still referred to Mr. Yan as "old man," clearly still angry with him for changing her name without muttering a word.
Mr. Yan himself didn’t think he was in the wrong and had mixed feelings of annoyance and amusement when his granddaughter called him "old man."
But since the granddaughter was not afraid of him, and the old man thought it was just a title, he let her be.
The twins, Bao’er and Dongzhu, were very well-behaved. They realized that Mom wouldn’t disappear for long periods anymore and chose to ignore the times she slipped away while they slept.
A week after taking the medicine, Commander Wu finally woke up in the deep of the seventh night, but his body was too weak – he awoke for only a minute before lapsing back into unconsciousness.
Fortunately, the Wu Family had been informed by Yan Jinsu beforehand about the remedy, and within twenty-four hours, he would wake up.
Hearing Yan Jinsu’s certainty, Wu Xuqiang, who hadn’t woken for over a month, immediately felt reassured, and the Wu Family promptly arranged for two of their best nurses to accompany Commander Wu throughout.
Indeed, halfway through the expected time, Wu Xuqiang woke up. Though it was for merely one minute and Wu Youbai didn’t witness his eldest grandson waking, this was enough to make the Wu Family ecstatic. fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com
Far away in Beijing, news quickly reached the second house of the Wu Family. Wu Xujie stood under the dark night sky, his firm facial features betraying no emotion.
Some were joyous, others worried.
With Wu Xuqiang’s recovery confirmed, the atmosphere in the third house of the Wu Family gradually turned bizarre.
Yan Jinsu was totally unaware that the trap she had laid was yielding rewards. As for what became of the Wu Family today, she was utterly indifferent.
Plagued by internal strife and external threats, would the Wu Family be able to stand united? How laughable...
When she laid the trap, it was simply because, based on an old impression of great households, she thought that a large family with vast affairs would surely have many branches exposed to the wind. As for who eventually fell into the pit she had dug, well, she wasn’t a Wu – it was none of her concern.
Yan Jinsu, having confirmed that Commander Wu had awakened, fed him the final bowl of medicine, not even leaving them the bowl. After seeing Commander Wu finish and waiting for another ten minutes without any special incidents, she nodded and left the sickroom.
For someone like Wu Xuqiang, who had been ill for half a year, relying solely on herbal medicine could at best only clear most of the toxins from his body—
