Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

Chapter 724: Warm and Peaceful

Nan Hua watched calmly as she saw Mu Fei Jiu acting sweetly with her father. Her expression showed genuine happiness and not the same as when she was acting in front of the other nobles.         

    

Sensible and cute.     

Those were the impression of many nobles when they saw Mu Fei Jiu. At the same time, they would feel like pampering this cute young girl when they saw her, which allowed Mu Fei Jiu to make use of her acting to do many things that she wanted to.     

“Young Miss Nan, please come in.”     

“Thank you for your hospitality, Fourth Master Mu.”     

Fourth Master Mu laughed lightly. “You’re my daughter’s friend. It’s only natural that I treat you well.”     

The living room was smaller than the one in Mu Family. Even when compared to Nan Shu Cheng’s Residence, it was far smaller. However, it gave off warm feeling that those two could never produce no matter how much time had passed.     

Fourth Master Mu asked them all to sit down on the table while the servants prepared some food.     

“Please enjoy the meal.”     

“Thank you.”     

“Dad, eat more. You have to stay healthy!”     

“I know, I know.” Fourth Master Mu patted Mu Fei Jiu’s head tenderly, showing his affection to his youngest daughter.     

It was warm.     

That was the impression Nan Hua had when she had the dinner with Mu Fei Jiu and her father. Even though they followed the etiquette of not talking while eating, it was still filled with the sense of warmth and comfort.     

Unlike the dinner at Nan Shu Cheng’s Residence, this dinner made Nan Hua remembered her grandfather and twin brother. The dinner with them was always so pleasant and warm.     

When it was done, Mu Fei Jiu looked at her father. “Dad, Sister Hua has also practiced some medicine. Can you let her take your pulse?”     

“Really?” Fourth Master Mu was taken aback. It was not that common for noble young ladies to learn medicine. After all, there were many other things that they had to learn. If they added medicine into the equation, it would mean that there would be too many things for them to learn.     

“Yes, I was lucky enough to meet teacher who teach me a lot.”     

Mu Fei Jiu’s eyes lit up as she looked at her father with puppy eyes.     

Looking at her daughter’s expression, Fourth Master Mu really couldn’t bring himself to say no. He finally relented and stretched his hand to allow Nan Hua to check on him.     

‘This…’     

Fourth Master Mu had several organ failures. It was clear that they were barely functioning with the help of medicines and many others. However, the situation had been worsening lately since this had happened for so many years.     

Nan Hua knew that there was no way organ failure could be completely reversed. Even with the modern technology, the best method was to replace the organ. And in this world… it was not a possible feat.     

“How is it?” Mu Fei Jiu asked expectantly.     

“Jiu’er, I’m born with weak body, so it’s not possible for me to be completely healthy.” Fourth Master Mu pressed his daughter’s head with his other hand. He was helpless towards her daughter’s expectation.     

“It’s not possible to treat it.” Nan Hua looked at Fourth Master Mu as she withdrew her hand. “At most, I can only prolong your life.”         

    

Fourth Master Mu smiled bitterly. “A few doctors said that while the rest give up directly. These are the list of medicines that I have been eating for the past few years. If you would like to add something, you can say it first.”     

Looking at the list and the handwriting, Nan Hua blinked her eyes. She was very familiar with her master and second senior brother’s handwriting. The one who wrote this list was her second brother.     

Scrutinizing the list of medicines used, Nan Hua thought of her ideas and noticed that it was more or less the same.     

“Sister Hua?”     

“There’s no need to change it.” Nan Hua gave the list back. “It’s already the best treatment that can be used given the current situation.”     

“Is it possible for there to be a better alternative?” Mu Fei Jiu asked curiously.     

“Yes, there is.” Nan Hua saw Mu Fei Jiu’s eyes lit up. “But I’m incapable of doing it with the current equipment there is.”     

“That’s too bad.”     

Nan Hua raised her hand and patted Mu Fei Jiu’s head. In fact, there was no one who would be able to treat Master Mu unless they killed someone and took the organ out of that person in order to do operation right away. But that would be immoral and the fact that the organ might not fit was another problem.     

In her original world, they would be able to do series of check in order to determine whether the organ would be suitable or not. But in this world where the equipment was still inadequate, the risk would outdo the result.     

The herbs and other medicines would be able to help him out, but it would not be able to fully cure him.     

“If the development is good, there’s no problem to live more than a decade.” Nan Hua looked at Fourth Master Mu. “However, you will need to have enough rest and good meal.”     

“Don’t worry, I’ll make sure Father is resting properly.” Mu Fei Jiu patted her chest and grinned foolishly. She then snuggled close to Nan Hua and muttered to herself, “It’ll be good if we can truly be sister.”     

Nan Hua looked at Mu Fei Jiu and wanted to tell her that the only possibility for them to be real sister was for Mu Fei Jiu to marry her twin brother. However, Nan Hua was sure that Nan Luo wouldn’t be able to stand a girl like Mu Fei Jiu.     

Besides, with Mu Fei Jiu’s current status, it would be hard for her to marry into noble family and might be looking for ordinary man to settle down.     

She had had enough of the nobility world.
