He had previously heard from Xu Yue that their mother suffered from rheumatic joint pain.
"Alright then."
Xu Fan took Zhang Qingning's wrist and began to feel her pulse, and after a short while, he said, "Mom, are your joints aching because you've been living in a place with a lot of moisture for a long time?"
"Yes, it's an old problem."
Zhang Qingning nodded, as this was something she had only ever discussed with Xu Yue and no one else knew.
Although she wanted to seek treatment, Xu Tianhu definitely would not allow her to be treated, so she simply kept it to herself.
Upon careful examination of her pulse, which was actually an exploration with spiritual energy and divine sense, Xu Fan discovered that Zhang Qingning's body was in a worse state than he had imagined, harboring many hidden illnesses and dangers.
His expression darkened as he thought about Zhang Qingning's living conditions and diet; such a lifestyle would wear down even the sturdiest of people over time.
