Chapter 381: Chapter 134: Heavy Snow_3

Guan Jingshuo returned to the Marquis Yongding’s family and went to see the Marquis right away.

The Marquis of Yongding looked at his son’s complexion and first was taken aback, then overjoyed, "The Imperial Physician said that soaking in hot springs is beneficial for the health, it seems his words weren’t false. If I had known, I would have sent you earlier."

Seeing that the methods given by Doctor Li indeed worked, Guan Jingshuo no longer planned to hide it from the Marquis, "Father, the main reason for the improvement of my health is not due to soaking in hot springs. In fact, I went to Peach Blossom Village to regulate my body, and the effects over the past month have been quite significant."

The Marquis of Yongding was immensely surprised, "Then what is the main reason?"

Guan Jingshuo handed the dietary regimen prescribed by Doctor Li to the Marquis and told him about his visits to see Doctor Li. Of course, he concealed that the suggestion came from Yueyao, "Father, a friend of mine said that this Doctor Li is somewhat unconventional, but he has done a lot of research on difficult and complicated diseases. Although his methods are a bit odd, they seem to be truly effective."

The Marquis of Yongding looked at the dietary regimen for a long time and only after a while did he say, "Does it really work?" The Marquis wasn’t a person who shunned doctors out of fear of treatment; as long as it could cure his son’s illness, he didn’t care if the methods were strange.

Guan Jingshuo nodded, "Yes, it’s effective. Over this month, I’ve felt much lighter, and I don’t feel tired even after walking for an hour." Before, Guan Jingshuo would break into a cold sweat after walking too much, but now that no longer happened. This was enough to show that his health had indeed improved.

Guan Jingshuo mentioned the matter of coarse grains but not the atlas, well aware that his father did not favor martial artists, the reasons for which he did not know. However, he did not plan to touch upon this sensitive issue. As such, it was better to learn martial arts in secret.

Guan Jingshuo didn’t want Lady Xiao Ning or the women in the Marquis’ household’s inner courtyard to know about his improved health. If these people knew, no telling what kind of tricks they might pull: "Father, I prefer not to let others know about my current condition for the time being."

The Marquis Yongding asked curiously, "Why?" It’s a good thing that his health improved. Why shouldn’t people know? His son was getting stronger, but his actions were becoming more and more unpredictable.

With his head lowered, Guan Jingshuo took a long time before saying, "Father, I’ll go see Doctor Li tomorrow. It’s not too late to talk about it after Doctor Li has given me a follow-up examination."

The Marquis of Yongding hesitated for a moment before saying, "Alright, if you don’t want to talk about it then don’t. But if you encounter any difficulty, you must tell me. You are my only son." If the Marquis’ other children heard these words, they would feel quite disheartened.

Guan Jingshuo said with a smile, "Thank you, Father."

After leaving the study, Guan Jingshuo went to see Lady Xiao Ning, who also believed Guan Jingshuo’s improved demeanor was due to the hot springs.

The steward of Peach Blossom Village was an old servant of the estate, and his loyalty to the Marquis’ household was beyond question. When Guan Jingshuo sought him out, requesting his help in keeping the news a secret from outsiders, the elderly man was very thorough. With Guan Jingshuo intentionally keeping things hidden, Lady Xiao Ning didn’t have deep knowledge about Guan Jingshuo’s situation at the manor. The information she received was vague at best. This was mainly because Lady Xiao Ning was out of favor, and there were too many beauties in the estate who may be looking to create trouble for her; she already had her hands full dealing with the concubines, diverting her focus from monitoring Guan Jingshuo. Furthermore, after years of filial compliance from Guan Jingshuo, Lady Xiao Ning felt quite reassured.

Guan Jingshuo returned to his own courtyard, thought for a moment, then called Zhang Quan to gather some information about the other three Marquis’ households.

The next day, early in the morning, Guan Jingshuo took Zhang Yan to the Herbarium Hall. The Marquis Yongding regarded Guan Jingshuo as his successor and had always cherished this son, hence the generosity. These two bodyguards were top-notch within the Marquis Yongding’s Family. Therefore, they were highly regarded by the head of the household, making Guan Jingshuo’s activities very convenient.

After taking Guan Jingshuo’s pulse, Doctor Li’s expression also brightened considerably. Doctors loathe patients who comply outwardly but defy secretly, failing to cooperate and then blaming the doctor when their illness worsens. Doctor Li, being a man of peculiar temperament, would resolutely refuse to treat such a person a second time: "Hmm, it seems that you really listened to my advice. Good, you’ve recuperated well this month. I’ll prescribe you another formula; use it once a day, and after a month, come back for a follow-up visit." Doctor Li was very satisfied with Guan Jingshuo’s performance.

Guan Jingshuo nodded repeatedly, "Thank you for your trouble, Doctor Li."

After preparing the prescription, Doctor Li said, "Your condition is good now. You can take nourishing tonics once every three to five days. Remember, it’s every three to five days, not every day."

Unable to contain himself, Heping interjected, "Doctor, you said before that our young master was harmed by consuming too many tonics. If tonics were not good for him, why should he take them now?"
