Su Nuohan could not be bothered to argue with them.
She looked at Madam Fu once more.
“Mother, may your daughter-in-law have permission to check Chengyan’s pulse?”
“This…”
“Absolutely not!”
The older woman immediately interrupted.
“Younger Sister-in-law, Yan’er is still breathing. Don’t let this little girl kill him!”
“Exactly!”
The other woman chimed in.
“Second Sister-in-law, Yan’er may be gravely ill, but he’s still alive. This girl knows nothing. What if he dies the moment she touches him?”
As the two women continued talking over each other, Madam Fu’s expression became increasingly conflicted and worried.
Seeing this, Su Nuohan sighed inwardly.
A moment later, Madam Fu also let out a sigh.
“Child, do you really know traditional medicine?”
“Tch. If she knows medicine, then—”
Before the middle-aged woman could finish her mockery, Su Nuohan had finally reached her limit.
“Shut up!”
Her sharp shout startled everyone in the room.
Even the woman herself froze in place.
A moment later, she recovered and immediately pointed at Su Nuohan with a vicious expression.
“Well, well! You little brat! You’ve only just entered the family and you already dare shout at me?”
“Is this how the Su family raised you?”
“Believe it or not, I can have you dragged out and shot!”
“Exactly.”
The other middle-aged woman immediately echoed her.
“Just as expected from a country girl. She doesn’t understand manners at all.”
Then she turned toward Madam Fu.
“Second Sister-in-law, look at her.”
“She’s only just entered the household and already dares yell at Elder Sister-in-law.”
“If she’s this disrespectful now, who knows how unfilial she’ll become later?”
“In my opinion, it’s better to divorce her and send her back immediately.”
“That’s right.”
The young man added coldly,
“Someone so lacking in manners has no right to enter the Fu family.”
After hearing them, Madam Fu sneered.
“Hmph.”
“This is my daughter-in-law.”
“There is no need for Elder Sister-in-law and Younger Sister-in-law to concern themselves with my family affairs.”
After saying that, she turned toward Su Nuohan.
“Good child.”
“Since you understand medicine, go ahead and check Yan’er’s pulse.”
Su Nuohan nodded.
Then she reached out and took hold of Fu Chengyan’s wrist.
The instant her fingers touched his pulse—
A faint but incredibly clear ding suddenly sounded inside her mind.
Immediately afterward—
A brilliant golden koi seemed to leap from the surface of a tranquil lake within her consciousness.
Its tail swayed gracefully, sending rings of golden ripples spreading outward.
An indescribable feeling of luck, vitality, and peace flooded through her body.
Su Nuohan was startled.
She attempted to control the mysterious energy with her thoughts.
Yet it seemed completely natural, as though it were connected to her bloodline itself.
At the same time, it appeared to possess an independent will, happily carrying out some mysterious mission of its own.
What shocked her even more was—
Fu Chengyan’s pulse, which had been so weak it was nearly undetectable, suddenly began strengthening beneath her fingertips.
The change was visible almost immediately.
Although he remained unconscious, the deathly gray pallor covering his face visibly faded.
A faint but genuine trace of healthy color returned to his complexion.
Even his ice-cold fingers twitched ever so slightly.
One of the physicians immediately cried out in alarm.
“Quick! Look!”
“The Young Marshal’s finger moved!”
His shout caused everyone to turn toward Fu Chengyan.
When Madam Fu saw that his complexion had improved noticeably, she also exclaimed in shock.
“Doctors! Quickly, take a look!”
“Hasn’t Yan’er’s complexion improved considerably?”
The physicians who had been arguing moments ago were instantly drawn over.
Their faces were filled with disbelief and shock.
“This…”
“This…”
“How is this possible?”
Hearing their reactions, everyone focused on Fu Chengyan’s face.
The leading physician, an elderly traditional doctor with a goat beard, hurriedly grasped Fu Chengyan’s other wrist.
Closing his eyes, he concentrated for several moments before abruptly opening them again.
His eyes shone with both astonishment and delight.
Even his beard seemed to tremble.
“Extraordinary!”
“Truly extraordinary!”
“The Young Marshal’s pulse is much stronger than before!”
“It’s as if a withered tree has encountered spring again!”
“Like a dying fish returning to water!”
“This… this is a miracle!”
“A miracle in the history of medicine!”
Meanwhile, a Western doctor wearing gold-rimmed glasses quickly examined Fu Chengyan with a stethoscope.
The sounds he heard caused his entire body to shake.
“His heartbeat!”
“His heartbeat has become much stronger!”
“His breathing has also become steadier and deeper!”
“My God…”
“This completely defies medical science!”
“Incredible!”
“Absolutely incredible!”
The remaining doctors refused to believe it and took turns checking his pulse.
Yet after doing so, every one of them was left speechless with amazement.
“A miracle!”
“This is truly a miracle!”
“Indeed!”
“Yes, indeed!”
The physicians all exclaimed in admiration.
The room instantly erupted into chaos.
Everyone’s gaze once again landed on Su Nuohan.
But this time, there was no contempt or disdain.
Only shock, curiosity, and disbelief remained.
“Young Madam, your medical skills are truly extraordinary.”
The bearded physician respectfully bowed toward her.
“This old man is deeply impressed.”
“Indeed!”
Another physician quickly added.
“Young Madam, you must be the reincarnation of a divine healer!”
“The several of us have spent so much time studying the Young Marshal’s condition, yet none of us could identify his illness.”
“And yet the moment you intervened, his condition improved.”
“Exactly.”
“Young Madam, please accept our respect.”
The physicians all bowed deeply toward her.
Meanwhile, the two middle-aged women stared at Su Nuohan in utter shock.
“Young Madam.”
The bearded physician asked respectfully,
“May I ask what illness the Young Marshal is suffering from?”
Su Nuohan answered calmly.
“He was poisoned.”
“What?!”
“Poisoned?!”
The physicians stared at one another in alarm.
“If it was poison, then why were none of us able to diagnose it?”
Su Nuohan smiled slightly.
“The poison in his body is a chemically engineered virus.”
“It differs from ordinary poisons, so it’s understandable that you couldn’t identify it.”
“A chemical virus?”
“What is that?”
One physician frowned.
“How have we never heard of such a thing?”
“Exactly.”
“When did a poison like this appear in the world?”
The physicians immediately began questioning her one after another.
Su Nuohan did not answer.
Instead, she frowned slightly and continued contemplating the matter.
At that moment—
The man lying on the bed suddenly coughed twice.
Then, slowly, he opened his eyes.
“He’s awake!”
“The Young Marshal is awake!”
The bearded physician was the first to shout.
Upon hearing this, Madam Fu immediately pushed through the crowd and rushed to the bedside.
When she saw that Fu Chengyan had truly awakened, tears of joy streamed down her face.
She grabbed his hand tightly.
“Yan’er!”
“You’re finally awake!”
“How are you feeling?”
Fu Chengyan coughed weakly before answering with difficulty.
“Mother… I feel much better.”
“Good!”
“Good!”
“Good!”
“My son is awake!”
“He’s finally awake!”
Madam Fu trembled violently with excitement.
“I never thought the wedding blessing would actually work!”
“Our ancestors have blessed us!”
“The Bodhisattvas have blessed us!”
Tears poured down her face.
Then she turned around and tightly grasped Su Nuohan’s hand.
“Child!”
“You are the Fu family’s lucky star!”
“Our greatest lucky star!”
“You’re also Chengyan’s savior and the benefactor of the entire Fu family!”
Su Nuohan smiled shyly.
“Mother, you’re giving me too much credit.”
“Your daughter-in-law didn’t do anything.”
“Chengyan is simply blessed with good fortune.”
“He woke up through his own luck.”
Upon hearing this, Madam Fu became even happier.
The way she looked at Su Nuohan changed completely.
Previously, her affection had merely been that of an elder toward a younger generation.
But now, genuine love and gratitude filled her eyes.
It was as though she were looking at her own daughter.
She gently patted Su Nuohan’s hand and smiled warmly.
“Good.”
“Good.”
“Good.”
“What a wonderful child.”
“For the Fu family to have married you into our household…”
“…is truly our great fortune.”
