Old Master Qin did not know what to say.

It was true. In the past, the Qin family, or even the Jiang family, was one of the best aristocratic families. Although they had fallen on hard times, they were prepared, and they were not completely impoverished.

Otherwise, how could he have brought out that top grade gem necklace for Gu Qingyao?

And although he had used all his connections, he had not managed to obtain the herbs.

But this young girl…

Old Master Qin looked at Gu Qingyao. “What have you deciphered from the list?”

Gu Qingyao laughed. “You are trying to neutralize a toxin, but are unable to do so. You can only suppress it and slow down its effects.”

Old Master Qin could barely maintain his composure.

Gu Qingyao continued. “Old Master, actually you don't need to be bothered about my age. There's a saying that there are talented people, even among the young. If you are really part of the medical world, I'm sure… you've met many young talents?”

Old Master Qin paused. His wife had been famous when she was young. In her twenties, her fame had spread through all of Jiangnan. Among the younger generation of those who pursued medicine, she had been the brightest star.

The old man looked at Gu Qingyao for a long time. Then he took a deep breath and said, “All right, I'll bring you.”

Old Master Qin brought Gu Qingyao to the small house where he lived. It was old and broken down, and the house was very small. The moment they entered the door, they saw a bed and a small table. That was all.

Jiang Yiru was lying in bed. She was in agony, although she seldom showed it. When she saw her husband bring a young girl in, she could tell that the girl was beautiful and had lovely features, despite her dusty disguise.

Jiang Yiru immediately smiled. “Where did you find such an adorable little girl? She's so pretty!”

Gu Qingyao: “…”

Could her current appearance be considered pretty?

Jiang Yiru smiled. “Little girl, this pair of eyes has seen countless people. Surely, I can tell if you're pretty or not. You're just wearing a simple disguise. Ordinary people might not be able to tell, but you can't hide from me!”

Gu Qingyao smiled. This was no ordinary person!

Jiang Yiru, Jiangnan Medical Family's only heir!

She was a legend in the medical world!

Gu Qingyao smiled. “It's more convenient for me to go about like that. In these times, being too pretty is too conspicuous!”

Jiang Yiru chuckled. “Ai… what a pity! You're such a pretty young girl, but you can't allow others to look at you. I think it's a shame. I really don't know what to say about these times. When Grandmother was young, I was incredibly glamorous and outstandingly gorgeous!”

Gu Qingyao was amused!

She had heard stories about Jiang Yiru. She was a medical student, so of course she paid attention to the famous people in the medical world.

But she had never really interacted with Jiang Yiru. In her previous life, by the time she came into contact with the Qin family, Jiang Yiru had pa.s.sed away long ago.

She had not expected to meet her in person in this life.

Old Master Qin looked at Gu Qingyao. “This is my wife. She's ill!”

Gu Qingyao glanced at her and smilingly walked over to Jiang Yiru. “Grandmother Qin, let me feel your pulse.”

Jiang Yiru was startled!

Feel her pulse?

A young girl like that?

Jiang Yiru was instantly interested. After the Jiang family collapsed, she had not encountered anything so interesting for a long time. Now here was a young girl wanting to feel her pulse?
