Chapter 441: 441. A blessing in disguise

Old Man Wen quickly stood up, “Doctor Su is too humble. I dare not ask for advice. I came here this time to exchange ideas with Doctor Su.” He admired Su Liang’s beautiful face, clear eyes, and extraordinary presence, and couldn’t help but have a good impression of her.

“Please sit down, no need to be too formal.” Su Liang smiled, “Senior Wen can just call me by my name. The titles of divine or ghost doctors are nothing more than vanity. None of us are great immortals, but since we have chosen this path, we ought to do our best, so as not to live up to the name of a healer.”

Old Man Wen clapped his hands, “Young friend, your thoughts are exactly the same as mine!”

Wen Ran couldn’t help but laugh. Seeing Su Liang looking at her, she revealed a shy but generous and bright smile, “My grandfather has been longing to meet Doctor Su for a long time. Today, he feels as close to you as an old friend. He probably wishes Doctor Su was his granddaughter!”

“Ahem!” Old Man Wen coughed lightly, “Ranran, don’t talk nonsense.”

Wen Ran blinked at Su Liang, and Su Liang’s lips curved slightly, “That’s my honor.”

Qi Yan brought hot tea and desserts. Su Liang asked the Wen family’s grandfather and granddaughter if they were hungry and needed to rest in the guesthouse first.

Wen Ran’s stomach growled, and Old Man Wen laughed, “I haven’t traveled this far in many years. At my age, I really need to eat something and take a nap.”

After Su Liang ordered, Qi Yan quickly prepared it.

While waiting, Old Man Wen asked Wen Ran to take out the gift he had prepared for Su Liang.

Wen Ran unwrapped the bundle and took out an oil paper package. After unwrapping three thick layers of oil paper, Su Liang finally saw what it was.

Two books, which seemed old but well preserved, with only slight wear on the covers.

Wen Ran handed them over, and Su Liang’s eyes brightened. They were actually the long-lost Thousand-Poison Formula and Antidote Formula! Su Liang had only heard of these two ancient texts from Imperial Physician Gao, who knew about Su Liang and Gu Ling’s great abilities and suggested that they could look for them. If they could find them, Su Liang’s ability in detoxification would be greatly improved.

“The last rumor about these two books was that they were in the hands of a divine doctor surnamed Feng, but that was a very long time ago. Over generations, it’s unknown where they ended up.” That’s what Imperial Physician Gao had said back then.

As for Old Man Wen, Su Liang and Gu Ling hadn’t previously heard of him. Since he was found on Xingluo Island, he was no ordinary person, just that his past was too low-key, not greedy for fame and fortune, and well-hidden. Su Liang didn’t expect that these two treasured ancient texts she had been looking for would end up in her hands.

“This is exactly the treasure I’ve been looking for!” Su Liang didn’t hide her surprise, “Senior Wen has brought me such a great gift right away. I don’t know how to repay you.”

Seeing Su Liang’s reaction, Old Man Wen knew she appreciated the value, and he looked at his granddaughter, saying with heartfelt emotion, “I’m an old man now with only this one granddaughter left. In the past, I didn’t want to cause trouble, so she didn’t live a good life, and I won’t be able to take care of her for much longer. If Miss Su could look after Ranran, I could leave this world in peace.”

Wen Ran frowned, “Grandfather, don’t say that… ”

Old Man Wen laughed, “It’s nothing. Life and death are natural processes. I’m old enough now that I can take everything in stride; I just worry about you and want to find you a good home.”

Wen Ran rubbed her forehead, “Here we go again. If they didn’t know better, they’d think my grandfather wants me to marry Doctor Su!”

Old Man Wen looked at Su Liang. She nodded, “Senior Wen and Sister Ran are welcome to stay here and not leave. I’ll be responsible for Ran’s future.”

Not only because of these two treasured ancient texts, but also because of Gu Ling’s previous interactions with this grandfather-granddaughter pair, and what she saw today, Su Liang quite liked them. Old Man Wen was easygoing and reasonable, while Wen Ran was an innocent and yet sensible and generous girl. Moreover, Su Liang wanted to consult Old Man Wen whenever she encountered problems in the future.

Actually, it was the same for Old Man Wen. He gave away a family heirloom at their first meeting and asked if Su Liang could take care of his granddaughter because he disliked beating around the bush. Moreover, Gu Ling had interacted with them before and saved them without asking for repayment. In addition, they had heard many rumors about the couple Gu Ling and Su Liang. Old Man Wen had no doubts about Su Liang’s character and ability, and today’s meeting only confirmed his admiration.

Hearing Su Liang’s straightforward and sincere agreement, Old Man Wen couldn’t help but sigh, “We were right to come here; we should have come earlier.”

Just then, Nangong Qian led Gu Xiaonuan in. The eyes of the Wen family’s grandfather and granddaughter couldn’t help but be glued to Gu Xiaonuan and couldn’t move away.

Su Liang thought that Old Master Wen was going to hold Gu Xiaonuan, but he said that after traveling a long way, he would wash up and change his clothes before getting close to the child.

Although the Wen family’s grandfather and grandson seemed to be dressed like they were from the countryside, their manners were quite proper and they were not pretentious. Su Liang liked such people.

Qi Yan brought some hot soup and hot rice. Su Liang wasn’t hungry, but she ate a little with the Wen family’s grandfather and grandson.

The guesthouse had been prepared beforehand. After dinner, Qi Yan took the Wen family’s grandfather and grandson to the guesthouse, where hot water for bathing had been prepared.

Once Wen Ran entered the room, she saw several sets of new clothes and shoes prepared for her. The fabric was elegant and felt comfortable, and the size was just right. There were also new clothes for Old Master Wen.

The grandfather and grandchild didn’t know whether it was Gu Ling who had anticipated their arrival and prepared for it in advance, or whether Su Liang had asked someone to prepare after seeing them today. Either way, it was evident that Su Liang treated them with great care. Being warmly welcomed at a stranger’s home made them feel at ease.

After delivering the child to the Wan family, Gu Ling returned. By the time he arrived at Yuanming Pavilion, Su Liang was already engrossed in reading the “Antidote Formula.”

Gu Ling walked over to Su Liang, put his hand on her shoulder, and asked, “The one given by Senior Wen?”

Without looking up, Su Liang replied, “Yes, it’s those two that we’ve been looking for.” It really was true that when people say ‘seek far and wide, only to find it easily in the end.’.”

It could also be considered fate and coincidence that Gu Ling met the grandfather and grandson. It was because of a chance encounter and his unique ability. If Gu Ling hadn’t stepped in to save them at the time, even if Old Master Wen had heard many rumors about Su Liang, he wouldn’t have come here rashly. He was genuinely intending to visit, but between thinking about it and doing it, he needed an opportunity to make the low-profile and reclusive Old Master Wen take this step.

Gu Ling picked up the other book, the “Thousand Poisons Formula,” and began flipping through it beside Su Liang.

When the Wen family’s grandfather and grandson came to Yuanming Pavilion again, they had washed and changed their clothes, looking refreshed.

Upon entering the door, Old Master Wen went straight to Gu Xiaonuan.

Gu Xiaonuan, who was not shy, let Old Master Wen hold her and sweetly called him “master.”

Old Master Wen was taken aback for a moment before smiling, with his eyes squinting, as Su Liang explained, “She is treating Senior Wen as one of my masters.” With his aged face and white hair, Old Master Wen looked quite similar to Qiao Cong, who had just left home a few days earlier.

Old Master Wen was actually considering taking Su Liang as his disciple, but for one, he hadn’t yet shown his abilities for Su Liang to see, and second, he felt that Su Liang’s medical skills might be even higher than his. So he planned to wait and see.

However, Su Liang took the initiative to say, “Since Xiaonuan has already called you ‘master,’ if Senior Wen doesn’t mind, please accept me as your disciple!”

Old Master Wen nodded without hesitation, “I couldn’t ask for more, but at your young age, you’re already so skilled. Maybe there’s nothing left for me to teach you.” frёeweɓηovel.coɱ

“How could that be? I’m sure there’s still a lot I can learn from my master.” Su Liang had no doubt about Old Master Wen’s abilities.

They were all delighted with the outcome. Master Wen became Su Liang’s fifth master but her first medical master.

Old Master Wen was somewhat surprised by the “first” title. Su Liang laughed and said that the expert who taught her medicine in the past didn’t allow her to become his disciple. That was in her past life when she learned from many teachers in school, who taught her different stages or subjects and were not the same type as the masters here.

Old Master Wen looked serious, “Then I must quickly teach you all my life’s knowledge so as not to be unworthy of being your first medical master!”

“There are some problems that I haven’t been able to solve, and I would like to consult my master about them,” Su Liang said.

Barely sitting down, Old Master Wen stood up again, handed Gu Xiaonuan to Wen Ran, who was watching anxiously, and said, “Let’s go, where shall we talk?”

Su Liang and Gu Ling invited the old man Wen upstairs to the study.

Wen Ran taught Gu Xiaonuan to call her aunt, and Gu Xiaonuan not only called her, but also leaned over and kissed her, kissing right on the red birthmark on Wen Ran’s face.

“Flower!” Gu Xiaonuan pointed at Wen Ran’s birthmark and laughed.

For the first time in her life, Wen Ran is moved by a naive child. Over the years, she has become accustomed to the ridicule of her appearance by others. Because she does not know these people and does not care how they evaluate her, she can be indifferent. But when she came to Su Mansion, where there were many beautiful people, Wen Ran liked the people in this family and naturally hoped to be accepted. Everyone in this family showed no unusual expression towards her appearance, she was certain.

Gu Xiaonuan stretched out her little hand, “Out!”

Wen Ran couldn’t help but laugh, “Okay, aunt will take you outside to play.” As she spoke, she picked up the hat next to Gu Xiaonuan, put it on her, and carried her outside.

At the doorway, a person who came in face to face made Wen Ran stunned because she didn’t understand: why was there a monk in Su Mansion?

What happened below was even more surprising to Wen Ran. Gu Xiaonuan shouted “Uncle” at the monk?!

Does Su Liang have an unknown brother who became a monk… this is what Wen Ran thought at the moment.

Cheng Yun went to Huguo Temple early this morning and had just returned, unaware that there were guests at home, so he paused when he saw Wen Ran.

“I came to visit the mansion with my grandfather today, my surname is Wen. Are you Su Liang’s sister’s brother?” Wen Ran asked.

Cheng Yun answered, “I am her brother.”

Wen Ran nodded, “Young Master Su, nice to meet you.” Seeing the hair growing on Cheng Yun’s bald head, she figured he had returned to lay life.

Cheng Yun: …This is the first time someone called him Young Master Su. Although he had returned to lay life, he didn’t actually know what his original surname should be, so Su was fine too.

“Uncle, Flower!” Gu Xiaonuan pointed at Wen Ran’s birthmark on her face and told Cheng Yun.

Cheng Yun’s eyes were gentle, “Hmm, it’s a flower.”

“Sister Su Liang is upstairs with my grandfather.” Wen Ran told Cheng Yun again, and then carried Gu Xiaonuan out.

“Uncle!” Gu Xiaonuan called Cheng Yun while lying on Wen Ran’s shoulder.

Cheng Yun then silently followed them.

The old man Wen said his name was Wen Ming, and he laughed that he didn’t want to be “famous.”

The first question that Su Liang asked Wen Ming was about an issue that had been bothering her and Gu Ling for a long time, but they hadn’t found a solution yet: How to recover after losing memory due to medication?

There is an urgent need for this at the moment – although it is not important whether Lian Shan’s memory is restored or not, and she doesn’t care about it herself, it might be possible to provide some important information if the memory of Old White and Ying Ying, who were rescued from Xingluo Island not long ago, could be restored. Since they had lost their memory due to medication, it meant that they knew some things that Mo Yan didn’t want outsiders to know.

After Su Liang finished asking her question, Wen Ming’s expression became serious, “What kind of drug caused the memory loss?”

Gu Ling immediately took out the prescription and the pill for Wen Ming to see.

Wen Ming first looked at the prescription and didn’t say anything, then picked up the pill and smelled it before picking up the prescription again, “I need to check carefully.”

Su Liang and Gu Ling looked at each other, feeling hopeful.

Gu Ling stood up to open the window, and saw Wen Ran and Cheng Yun each holding Gu Xiaonuan’s hand and playing by the lake.

When Gu Ling returned, Wen Ming had begun discussing with Su Liang. He quietly stood aside and listened, pouring tea for them.

When the sun wasn’t so warm anymore, Wen Ran and Cheng Yun took Gu Xiaonuan back to Yuanming Pavilion. Wen Ran had already found out whether Cheng Yun was a monk and why he was Su Liang’s brother during this period.

Cheng Yun had previously heard Gu Ling mention the Wen family’s grandfather and granddaughter, and since Wen Ran said that Su Liang had already acknowledged her grandfather as her master, Cheng Yun asked and answered questions, almost telling Wen Ran all his life’s experiences, including the fact that his biological father and brother were both bad guys.

Gu Ling came downstairs and called Cheng Yun to help him start the fire.

After a while, Gu Xiaonuan called her dad, and Wen Ran carried her to find Gu Ling and Cheng Yun. To her surprise, the rumored beauty Gu was actually cooking.

This is a “shocking journey” that everyone who comes to Su Mansion must go through, and Wen Ran is no exception.

Today, the Marquis Zhong Xin Mansion sent fresh mushrooms. After Gu Ling processed them, they were fried in oil. The aroma filled the room before they were even out of the pot.

Placing a plate of the fried mushrooms, Gu Ling handed it to Wen Ran and told her to take it to Wen Ming and Su Liang while it was still hot.

Wen Ran went upstairs with Gu Xiaonuan in one hand and a plate in the other, already hearing Wen Ming’s laughter.

Entering the room, Su Liang was seen writing something on a piece of paper, while Wen Ming paced around the room with a smile, “I think it’s almost right this time, and when the medicine is ready, you can let that Lian Shan girl you mentioned try it, it’s harmless to the body.”

“I think so too, my master reminded me. The direction I was thinking with Gu Ling before was wrong.” Su Liang picked up the written paper and was also full of smiles.

“Mom! Grandmaster!” Gu Xiaonuan called again, and the two in the room who were focused on medical skills finally returned to their senses and looked at them.

Wen Ran carried the plate of Fried Fresh Mushrooms over, “This is made by the prince, said to let grandpa and Sister Su Liang eat it while it’s hot.”

“Little Gu can actually cook?” Wen Ming was surprised and tasted a bit, nodding his head repeatedly, “Delicious!”

“Master, take a break and have something to eat. I’ll also go and cook something for you and Sister Ran to eat.” Su Liang said.

Gu Xiaonuan was carried away by Su Liang, leaving only Wen Ming and Wen Ran in the room. The grandfather and granddaughter ate the delicious Fried Fresh Mushrooms and talked about their feelings after coming to Su Mansion today.

“Grandpa, this is the real paradise.” Wen Ran’s face was serious, and then she laughed, pointing to the red birthmark on her face, “Nuannuan said there are flowers on my face.”

Wen Ming sighed, “We really turned misfortune into fortune when we met Xiaogu that day.”

Su Liang went to the kitchen and told Gu Ling that she had thought of the antidote prescription under Wen Ming’s guidance.

“Good.” Gu Ling nodded while gently stirring the chicken soup in the pot, “I’ll make the medicine tonight, and let Lian Shan try it tomorrow.”
