Chapter 97: Really Unreasonable
Xu Xiang tilted her head and asked, "What happened to Miss Nalan?"
Seeing her curious expression, A Lu Da thought to himself: ’It seems that Xu Xiang really doesn’t know about what happened to Tuya. Besides, Xu Xiang has no reason to do that to Tuya. Could it be that... Tuya lied to me?’
He shook his head, looked at her and said, "It seems that she has some kind of illness. She had a large red patch on her face that was swollen and festering."
Xu Xiang lowered her eyes and thought: ’Swelling and festering? it’s impossible. The Nightshade poison will give her only minor skin irritations, and no serious harm. There must be something wrong with her body.’
She looked at him and said, "I have to see her face first, before I can decide what happened to her. Let’s go back to Miss Nalan’s tent."
"All right." A Lu Da nodded and they rushed back to Nalan Tuya’s tent.
Walking into Nalan Tuya’s tent, Xu Xiang saw a middle-aged woman holding Nalan Tuya’s hand and crying. She knelt beside the bed, and kept calling Nalan Tuya’s name. Xu Xiang glanced at the middle-aged woman and knew at a glance that she is Nalan Tuya’s mother, because they looked alike.
Seeing A Lu Da walk in, the middle-aged woman stood up and held his hand, anxiously asking, "Where’s the physician? Why did you come back alone? You didn’t invite anyone from the Yishi tribe?"
Facing her series of questions, A Lu Da didn’t know which question to answer first. Before the middle-aged woman had time to ask more questions, A Lu Yu stopped her and said, "Auntie, let Xu Xiang check Tuya’s condition first."
