Lin Wanqiu's face also changed. She knew her mother's personality very well; she was extremely proud and would never beg Li Se. She wanted to say something more, but Li Se waved his hand to stop her.
"I saw your Lin family elder once before. It seemed like heart failure, and it has flared up again today. In this condition, you won't live for more than a day," Li Se said calmly.
"How dare you curse our Lin family elder?" The two guards were somewhat angered and looked ready to make a move.
Li Se didn't say anything further. Instead, he looked at Lin Wanqiu, "If your grandfather feels any more discomfort, press these two acupoints on him, and it will bring him relief. However, Western medicine cannot cure it, not even imperial physicians!"
After saying this, Li Se turned and left.
Lin Wanqiu wanted to call out to Li Se, but in the end, she couldn't. Because even if she called him back, what good would it do? Her mother wouldn't let him in anyway.
"Mom, one day, only one day is left. Are you satisfied now?" Lin Wanqiu cried, then ran directly into the Lin family compound.
However, Ye Fang snorted dismissively. One day? What a joke. She didn't believe Li Se could know the Lin family elder's condition with just one glance, so she didn't take his words seriously at all. Moreover, the Lin family had imperial physicians treating him now; were they still afraid of anything going wrong?
"Watch yourselves. Don't let any Tom, Dick, or Harry into my Lin family!" Ye Fang instructed, then arrogantly walked into the Lin family compound.
At this time, the Lin family elder was receiving treatment. The one treating him was none other than Imperial Physician Wu Yang, but Wu Yang's expression was not very pleasant.
"Where is Li Se?"
When Lin Wunan saw Lin Wanqiu running in, he asked in confusion.
"Mom wouldn't let him in," Lin Wanqiu gritted out.
Lin Wunan frowned slightly, and at this moment, Ye Fang walked in, saying somewhat displeasedly, "Wanqiu, is that how you speak? I didn't let him in? I wanted to search him. If he's entering our Lin family and treating the elder, what's wrong with a body search? He refused to be searched, so should I beg him? Hmph, before leaving, he even cursed that our elder wouldn't survive a day. Isn't that a joke?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Wunan's face darkened. He had never met Li Se, only heard about him from Lin Junhao and Lin Wanqiu, who said his medical skills were quite good. In fact, he didn't take their words about his skills seriously. How could any medical skills be better than those of imperial physicians? Therefore, he didn't think there was anything wrong with a body search, but daring to curse his father made him quite displeased.
"What an arrogant young man!" Lin Wunan snorted unhappily.
"Dad, actually, Li Se's medical skills are still very powerful. From what we've seen so far, Third Master's health was likely restored by him," Lin Junhao couldn't help but speak up for Li Se. He also hoped Li Se could come and treat his grandfather.
"Third Master's situation is still a mystery. Who knows if the Li family deliberately spread those rumors? Moreover, so many imperial physicians couldn't cure him, and he, a mere doctor, can?" Lin Wunan said with some disdain.
"Dad, Imperial Physician Wu Yang is inside. He was likely present that day. We can ask him later, right?" Lin Junhao said helplessly.
Lin Wunan replied, "I've already asked. Wu Yang merely said Third Master's health has almost recovered, but he didn't say Li Se was the one who treated him. And who knows if this Imperial Physician Wu Yang took benefits from the Li family?"
Lin Junhao didn't say anything further. In fact, it would be the same for anyone else. Who would believe that a young person's medical skills could be better than those of an imperial physician?
Wu Yang walked out at this moment, shaking his head. "Heart failure, coupled with the elder's advanced age, makes it very difficult to cure. At most, we can extend his life for a period."
"Imperial Physician Wu, you have no solution too?" Lin Wunan asked anxiously.
"Life and death are determined by fate," Wu Yang shook his head.
"Then what if the doctor who treated Third Master came?" Lin Wanqiu suddenly interjected.
Hearing this, Wu Yang's eyebrows twitched, and he said somewhat displeasedly, "Miss Lin, are you more willing to believe other doctors than me, an imperial physician?"
Lin Wanqiu was about to say something more, but Lin Wunan sharply rebuked, "Wanqiu, don't be rude!"
"I was just asking," Lin Wanqiu felt extremely wronged.
Lin Wunan was about to scold her again, but Wu Yang smiled and waved his hand, "It's fine. I'll state it here: Regarding Elder Lin's condition, let alone me, even if all imperial physicians were here, they would be helpless. He is too old, and surgery cannot be performed. Even an immortal would find it hard to save him!"
He paused, then continued, "However, extending his life for a period is still possible, as long as the medication is administered on time."
"Thank you, Imperial Physician Wu," Lin Wunan sighed. He glanced at Elder Lin on the sickbed, realizing there was no other recourse.
"Mmm, mmm, mmm..." At this moment, Elder Lin clutched his chest, feeling immense discomfort.
"Not good!" Wu Yang's expression changed, and he immediately led his team back into the room to try and save Elder Lin. However, no matter what they did, they couldn't alleviate the elder's suffering. He knew very well that in Elder Lin's current state, if this continued, he would surely die, perhaps not even lasting an hour.
"I... I know how to treat it," Lin Wanqiu suddenly remembered the acupoints Li Se had just taught her and ran into the room.
Wu Yang, with a dark expression, said, "Miss Lin, at this critical moment of life and death, please don't cause trouble!"
"We are doing our best to rescue him, don't disturb us!"
"Isn't this just messing around?"
The doctors all shook their heads. This eldest daughter of the Lin family was truly ignorant. How could she be so foolishly reckless?
"Wanqiu, come out!" Lin Wunan commanded.
"I think this girl has been corrupted by that fellow. That fellow just said pressing some acupoints could make him recover; isn't that a joke?" Ye Fang said, extremely angry.
Lin Wunan was somewhat enraged and was about to enter the room to drag Lin Wanqiu out.
Meanwhile, Lin Wanqiu, disregarding everything else, reached out and pressed some acupoints around her grandfather's heart.
"Reckless!"
"How can you press randomly at a time like this?"
"What if something goes wrong?"
All the doctors were very angry, but since she was the eldest daughter of the Lin family, they couldn't say anything too harsh.
But at this moment, Elder Lin actually calmed down. He seemed to be in less pain, and his breathing quickly stabilized.
Lin Wanqiu was overjoyed. "It really works!"
Lin Wunan, who was about to enter and drag Lin Wanqiu out, was stunned and couldn't help but ask, "Who taught you this?"
Lin Wanqiu quickly replied, "Li Se!"
