The right leg of the Mother of the Great Han was swollen and particularly puffy at the joints, likely due to the prolonged effects of Leg Disease. Her skin had also begun to shrink and age.
After examining her, Xia Yuhan sighed heavily, "Madam, if your Leg Disease had been discovered earlier and treated in time, it wouldn't have..."
The Old Village Chief, who was impatiently waiting to take revenge, interrupted Xia Yuhan, "If it had been treated in time, of course she wouldn't be paralyzed! Hmph! Old Man sees that you don't have much skill; what qualifications do you have to speak to Old Man?"
Ignoring the Old Village Chief's provocation, Xia Yuhan continued to check the Mother of the Great Han's condition and finished her statement, "Great Han, if your mother had received timely treatment and avoided quack doctors, she wouldn't have suffered so much! Although I can't completely restore her health now, I can at least alleviate some of her pain."
"Second Sister, is this true?" The Great Han looked at her with intense eyes, kneeling and bowing before her like a proper man.
Xia Yuhan knew that at this moment, she had won the Great Han's heart!
Xia Yuhan put away her dagger, stood up gracefully, and looked back at the villagers of Xia Yang Village. "Villagers, could you please make way? Let Yu Han's carriage enter the courtyard so that Yu Han can treat Mother of the Strong Man in a timely manner."
The villagers were very curious if Xia Yuhan could cure the Mother of the Great Han's long-standing Leg Disease, so they cooperatively stepped aside. Although there were some troublemakers in the crowd, no one spoke out against her at that moment.
Sun Liuxiang noticed Xia Yuhan's signaling gaze and instructed the Assassin to drive the carriage closer to Xia Yuhan. Sun Liuxiang appeared very nervous; ever since she decided to wholeheartedly follow Xia Yuhan, she had felt anxious countless times. Meanwhile, Xia Yuhan seemed calm and composed as if nothing were amiss.
In her impression, Xia Yuhan had no medical skills at all; how could she take such risks now? Did she have to play dangerous games every time? None of the Assassins she brought from Sun Mansion knew anything about medicine.
Sun Liuxiang's worries were clear to Xia Yuhan. Right now, it all depended on her Treasure Chest; hopefully, she could find suitable Western Medicine inside for timely treatment with immediate effects.
"Great Han, gently lift your mother onto that carriage. If you want me to further alleviate your mother's pain, we need to find a clean and safe place."
"Yes, Second Sister!" The big man was overjoyed to hear that there was hope for treating his mother's Leg Disease, feeling as giddy as a child who didn't know what to do.
The Old Village Chief was furious, his beard bristling as he glared. His plan to frame Xia Yuhan had backfired, and instead, he found himself outmaneuvered by her, causing unrest among the people. This was detrimental to his upcoming plans.
Sun Liuxiang was also very worried. She hurriedly got off the carriage and grabbed Xia Yuhan's hand. "Sister, you mustn't be careless! By the way, your horse went out of control for some reason and ran off with Qiao'er, who was packing things in the carriage. I've already sent someone to follow them."
Xia Yuhan's eyes gleamed with cold light. The horse had spooked at just the right moment; it must have been intentional. Thinking back, Qiao'er must have gone to inform her master!
"Alright, sister, please reassure your people. Is the Treasure Chest safe?" Right now, she couldn't care less about that maid; ensuring the Treasure Chest's safety was of utmost importance.
"Don't worry, sister. The chest is perfectly fine."
"Good, sister. Once we get on the carriage, have your people guard around it. Don't let anyone startle the horses or get too close to the carriage; otherwise, it will be difficult to carry out our next plan."
Hearing Xia Yuhan's confident tone gave Sun Liuxiang a bit of reassurance. "Sister, please rest assured; this is something Liu Xiang can manage."
