Chapter 1121: Chapter 1148: Back from the Dead 7

The two heiresses of the Ouyang family spat at Nianyang with a tone that wished to tear her apart,

"Your sect’s quack doctors killed our grandmother, and you still have the face to come and see us, to laugh at our whole family?"

"Ning’er, Ruoruo, do not be rude." Although the Ouyang couple were also overly grief-stricken and disinclined to see Nianyang, they couldn’t allow themselves to behave like common scolds in front of so many people.

Mr. Ouyang was a man, so it wasn’t convenient for him to speak much with Nianyang. Instead, Mrs. Ouyang lightly trembled and said, "Sect Leader Chu, today is the day of my mother’s funeral. I’m really not in the mood to deal with your Traditional Chinese Medicine Family. If there’s anything, let’s talk tomorrow. I don’t want to see you right now."

"Mrs. Ouyang, listen to me. Before I came, I already asked the Third Elder and found out that the old lady’s illness was due to her heart meridian. The prescription given by the Third Elder was a very gentle tonic, and if taken as prescribed, nothing should have gone wrong," Nianyang said softly. "I believe there are other speculations about the death of the old lady. Perhaps it’s a problem of constitution or medication disorder that caused the heart meridian to suffocate. To seek the truth, I would like to see for myself."

Mrs. Ouyang’s face showed warm anger, "What are you talking about? My mother was killed by your doctor’s malpractice, and you dare say it’s a constitution issue? My mother was doing well before, and Dr. Hu said continuing the treatment might let her live another ten years, yet it was the Third Elder’s prescription that caused the tragedy. What, are you now afraid of ruining your reputation and trying to shirk responsibility?!"

"Mrs. Ouyang, please don’t be angry."

Nianyang gently explained, "I’m not trying to evade responsibility, but I am also a practitioner of Chinese medicine and have studied heart meridian. There are cases in medical books where, if the patient takes the wrong medicine or mixes different medications, it could cause heart meridian suffocation, leading to a loss of vital signs, but they are not truly dead. It’s just a fake death symptom due to temporary illness changes, and in such cases, the patient can still be saved."

"What are you saying, my mother was in a state of pseudo-death?" Mrs. Ouyang felt extremely absurd, "You claim you’re not shirking, but who would fake death to deceive others? Do you take our Ouyang family as people who would scam you? This is simply outrageous!

My mother lost her breath right after taking the Third Elder’s medicine for just one course. The Zhang Doctor I invited and Dr. Hu can both testify!"

Nianyang raised an eyebrow, looking toward Zhang Mingyue and Dr. Hu, her gaze lightly flowing.

"May I ask, Mrs. Ouyang, did you invite any other doctors to treat the old lady during her treatment?"

Mrs. Ouyang was actually too angry to want to deal with Nianyang, but out of respect for her past favors in saving Jian Chengguang, she replied patiently, "I invited Dr. Zhang yesterday to check my mother’s pulse to confirm death, and Dr. Hu has been in charge of my mother’s health for this month. If it weren’t for Dr. Hu’s superb medical skills, my mother might not have lasted till today, but it was all ruined by the Third Elder’s sudden intervention. In hindsight, I shouldn’t have listened to Dr. Hu’s suggestion."

Nianyang’s mind spun even quicker, "So it was Dr. Hu’s suggestion to let the Third Elder diagnose the old lady..."

Unable to hold back, Dr. Hu stepped forward, "If it weren’t for our past camaraderie, considering your Traditional Chinese Medicine Family’s recent dwindling business, I wouldn’t have let Mrs. Ouyang invite the Third Elder over, yet it ended up causing the Third Elder’s death. Now instead of acknowledging the Third Elder’s mistake, you accuse the old lady of being in a state of pseudo-death!"

Zhang Mingyue also detested Nianyang’s questioning of his pulse diagnosis, he stood united with Dr. Hu, "Exactly, the old lady was of such an advanced age, who would pretend to be in a state of pseudo-death to fool you? You are just talking nonsense."
