Hua Na and Hua Yun realized from Hua Tian’s reaction that he already knew the truth. Hua Na carefully took out a token. "I know I was wrong, but I got this token back."
Hua Tian sighed upon seeing it. He took the token, his eyes filled with deep thought. It was an heirloom from their ancestors. Its return was a joy, but it had cost the Hua family its good reputation. Thinking about it, it seemed like a loss outweighed the gain.
Hua Mu glared at Hua Yun, then said to Hua Tian, "Brother, it’s done. Na and Yun had good intentions, they just went too far. Please don’t be angry."
Hua Tian glared at Hua Mu. "I know their intentions were good, but their method was wrong. They shouldn’t have used flower gu on ordinary people. Not only is flower gu precious, but it also damaged the reputation left by our ancestors. Don’t you know this?"
Hua Mu felt helpless. Raising flower gu was hard. The Hua village only had two left, and now one was gone. Collecting the poisonous herbs needed for it was a huge task.
"Since it’s done, we can’t change it. Luckily, the girl didn’t die. The Little Divine Doctor saved her." Hua Mu could only comfort Hua Tian with this.
At first, hearing that Hua Na and Hua Yun caused such a big trouble, she was scared. she had heard of the Little Divine Doctor’s name. People spoke highly of her. As a doctor, her deeds made them feel proud. Who would have thought the one causing trouble was from their own Hua village?
Hua Tian sighed. "I hope the Little Divine Doctor won’t hold it against us, seeing our sincerity." Although they were Hua doctors, they knew they couldn’t compare to Zhu Yanyi. Behind her was almost all of China. If Zhu Yanyi wanted to destroy the Hua village, it would be very easy.
When Zhu Yanyi arrived, the father and daughters were talking. They put aside the bad news and spoke of interesting things. When Hua Tian heard that the Little Divine Doctor had taught them how to make medicine, her eyes showed surprise. She didn’t know what Zhu Yanyi wanted to do, but she knew she couldn’t teach medicine so openly without hesitation.
"You came early. Sorry, I was late because of family matters," Zhu Yanyi said as she entered, apologizing to everyone.
Hua Tian was surprised by Zhu Yanyi’s young age, but she didn’t doubt her skills. Anything could be faked, except medical skill. So even though she looked young, she didn’t dare look down on her.
"Hello, Little Divine Doctor. I am Hua Tian, the current chief of Hua Village. This is my cousin, Hua Mu. No need to introduce the children. Hua Na is my daughter, and Hua Yun is Hua Mu’s." Hua Tian was straightforward. Since everyone was here, he said what needed to be said.
Zhu Yanyi nodded slightly. "Chief Hua, Mr. Hua, hello. I am Zhu Yanyi. This is my fiancé, Yan Aohan." After the introductions, Zhu Yanyi pointed to a seat. "Let’s sit and chat while we eat." Then she said to the waiter, "Please bring the dishes."
Zhu Yanyi invited everyone to sit down.
When the dishes were mostly served, Hua Tian spoke. "Little Divine Doctor, my two children caused a huge disaster. Ultimately, it is the fault of us parents. So, I apologize to you first."
Hua Tian’s attitude was very humble. Seeing this, Zhu Yanyi’s mood clearly improved. "Chief Hua, please don’t say that. You didn’t mean it. Besides, it’s not your fault. Now that things are like this, it’s better to speak clearly. That’s why I sent the telegram."
Zhu Yanyi looked at Hua Na and Hua Yun. "Hua Na and Hua Yun have good medical skills. But to reach their goal, they harmed an innocent girl. That is wrong. Of course, I know their purpose was to protect the ancestral token. That initial intention was good, and I can understand it. If I were a bystander, I could understand. But the person they harmed is my cousin. So I couldn’t ignore it."
Zhu Yanyi spoke clearly, putting her personal feelings aside. She explained clearly that she didn’t want to let Hua Na and Hua Yun go easily, but because the victim was her cousin, the Hua village needed to give her an answer.
Hua Tian nodded slightly. Because of Zhu Yanyi’s honesty, she understood her actions. If Zhu Yanyi had held herself to a high moral standard, she would have looked down on her.
"Hua Na and Hua Yun were indeed wrong. If my child was treated like this, I would be angry too," Hua Tian answered seriously. He loved his own daughter, but he also understood others’ feelings. He was not unreasonable.
Zhu Yanyi nodded. She respected Hua Tian’s attitude more. "Hua Na realized her mistake and told me. She originally planned to use the flower gu for only three months. But she forgot that my cousin is an ordinary person. How could she withstand three months of flower gu? So I detained them. This was caused by their lack of understanding of medicine."
Hua Tian glared at Hua Na. "Didn’t you know ordinary people can’t withstand flower gu? Three months? A few days would drain a person’s energy."
Hua Na shrank her head. "I was wrong, Dad." She really knew she was wrong. She didn’t expect the flower gu to be so powerful.
Hua Tian sighed. Her daughter caused the trouble, so she, the father, had to clean up the mess. She looked at Zhu Yanyi. "Little Divine Doctor, let’s speak plainly. Since it happened, we can only make up for it later. But I don’t know what conditions you have."
Zhu Yanyi smiled. "Some time ago, my brother was stabbed. So although I expected Chief Hua and you to arrive these days, I didn’t have time to ask. I only knew yesterday that you had waited for me for two days without disturbing me. For this, I appreciate the Hua village’s way of dealing with people."
Zhu Yanyi took a sip of juice and continued. "But let’s keep things separate. I appreciate your style, but Hua Na and Hua Yun’s trouble is another matter. I have no other request. Within five years, I want to establish a pure Traditional Chinese Medicine school. I plan to recruit students starting from primary school."
