Chapter 192: Chapter 192 Unforgettable at a Glance

Gaze shifting, Su Yu noticed that although the Dumb Woman was advanced in years, her charm was still evident. Beneath her delicate makeup, her skin was as smooth as cream, marred only by fine wrinkles at the corners of her eyes, which inadvertently betrayed the vicissitudes of time.

What caught more attention was the Dumb Woman’s slightly thick neck. This subtle difference did not escape Su Yu’s sharp observation.

Driven by curiosity, Su Yu reached out to touch that peculiar area, eager to explore the reason behind it.

The Dumb Woman seemed startled by this gesture, quickly dodged with agility, her eyes filled with wariness as she stared straight at Su Yu, her silence conveying a strong warning.

Su Yu appeared somewhat impatient and raised her voice, saying, "Don’t be nervous, I just want to take a look to help you, and by the way, call your servant translator over."

Her clear voice reached outside the carriage, and the ever-present servant, hearing this, hurriedly opened the carriage door and asked with utmost respect, "I am here, what commands do you have?"

"Come in, I need you to translate."

Su Yu’s words carried an undeniable determination.

Su Yu’s intuition revealed an unquestionable resolve; she knew that to thoroughly understand the Dumb Woman’s condition, she had to overcome the barrier of communication.

However, her complete ignorance of sign language forced her to rely on the servant at her side to act as a bridge in this silent conversation.

"This... might not be quite appropriate."

The servant’s voice came through the thick curtains, laced with hesitation and concern.

Su Yu was well aware that until the Dumb Woman gave explicit permission, this loyal servant would not lightly break the rules or step half a foot into that private domain.

Therefore, Su Yu turned toward the Dumb Woman, her tone filled with earnestness and sincerity, "Please let her come in, I have some important matters that I need to understand clearly."

Upon hearing this, a subtle change flickered in the Dumb Woman’s eyes. Then she gently tapped the carriage window, seemingly conveying a silent invitation with this minimal gesture.

Following the Dumb Woman’s gentle tapping, the carriage swayed slightly, clearly indicating that a new visitor had climbed onto the carriage.

The servant carefully lifted the curtain with his feet still off the ground, maintaining a respectful distance as he stood by the carriage head, showcasing his well-trained manner and respect for the rules.

Su Yu turned her gaze towards the Dumb Woman, her voice gentle yet with an undeniable firmness, "Can you tell me when you began to lose your voice? And besides being unable to speak, do you feel any other discomforts?"

Next to them, the servant focused intently, translating the Dumb Woman’s complex hand signals with utmost precision, fearful of any omission or misunderstanding, "It was about twenty years ago that she suddenly became voiceless, and since then she has not been able to utter a word. The only other symptom is a feeling of choking when eating or drinking."

Su Yu listened carefully, and her eyebrows furrowed slightly. She then gave the servant a gentle nod of acknowledgment, her decision was made, "You can go down now, leave this to me."

The servant leaped agilely and lightly jumped from the carriage, his movements expressing his absolute obedience to his master’s command.

Afterward, Su Yu faced the Dumb Woman again, her eyes shining with professional brilliance, "Please cooperate with me for a simple examination, give me your hand."

The Dumb Woman obediently extended her right hand. Su Yu’s fingertips gently rested on her wrist, and after a moment, her brows relaxed, the slight hesitation in the pulse carving out a preliminary judgment in her heart.

Then, her fingers slowly moved along the Dumb Woman’s neck. The confidence and conviction in her heart grew even stronger.

There’s a lump in your neck that is pressing on the nerves, causing you to lose your voice."

Su Yu’s words were simple and direct, yet they warmed the hearts of everyone present like a stream of warmth.

Da Ya, witnessing such a diagnostic scene for the first time, had eyes full of admiration for Su Yu.

In her eyes, Second Aunt Su Yu was simply omnipotent.

The Dumb Woman quickly gestured with her hands. Although Su Yu couldn’t fully comprehend at first, she guessed by intuition that the Dumb Woman might be asking if there was a possibility of cure.

Su Yu’s lips curved into a gentle smile as she replied, "This is not an incurable disease. I have a way to treat it, but I need a special tool that must be custom-made. However, I am not currently in a financial position to afford it, so I hope you can cover the cost of making it."

Faced with this sudden twist, the Dumb Woman did not hesitate at all and immediately nodded vigorously in agreement.

Su Yu was secretly delighted in her heart; her plan was moving towards success step by step.

She briskly pulled open the carriage curtain and gave instructions to the driver atop the driver’s seat, "There is a weapon shop in Ning County named ’Blade and Sword.’ Take us there."

By now, the sky was nearing dusk and night was quietly falling, uncertain whether the shop would still be open.

But Su Yu remembered that the exquisite plum blossom hairpin on her head alone could prove the extraordinary craftsmanship of the artisans at ’Blade and Sword.’ If she wanted to create the intricate instrument she had in mind, that place was undoubtedly the best choice.

This weapon shop was renowned in Ning County, not only for its precious commodities and exquisite craftsmanship but also because it enjoyed the favor of the Imperial Family—an unreachable dream for the common folks to create weapons on their own.

Hence, the driver, with his knowledge of the streets of Ning County, almost without thinking, expertly turned the reins, guiding the horse carriage to change direction and gallop towards the target.

In the carriage, Su Yu quietly calculated that this seemingly inconspicuous yet generous Dumb Woman obviously possessed extraordinary economic prowess.

If that was the case, why not take this opportunity to carefully select high-quality materials, or even procure a tool that suited her perfectly? The joy in her heart would undoubtedly be indescribable.

Soon, the carriage came to a steady stop in front of the shop named ’Blade and Sword,’ with its name boldly inscribed, and its facade decorated in a simple, yet mysterious style.

Su Yu hurriedly lifted the carriage curtain, and saw the shop still brightly lit and bustling, slightly alleviating the worry in her heart.

The nights in Ning County were never silent; lights twinkled like stars under the night sky, proclaiming the prosperity and freedom of the place.

She turned to Da Ya and gently instructed, "Wait here obediently for me, and don’t wander off, okay?"

Da Ya nodded obediently, her clear eyes full of trust for her sister.

Following that, Su Yu helped the Dumb Woman out of the carriage, and the two of them stepped into the ’Blade and Sword’ shop together.

The servant followed closely behind, with a spring in his step, evidently accustomed to such situations.

Greeting them was the same clever waiter, his face beaming with a smile, his voice tinged with enthusiasm and familiarity, "Ah, esteemed customers, it is rare to have you here! What special needs brings you to us today?"

Surprised, Su Yu’s eyes curved in response, "I didn’t expect you to remember me."

The waiter chuckled, his eyes sparkling with cleverness, "How could I not recognize you? The plum blossom hairpin on miss’s head is truly unique, making it unforgettable."
