Zhou Tianyu snorted, "This woman is shameless. Jiang Qiao and my cousin grew up together since they were little. They're practically childhood sweethearts. How can she be like this, spreading rumors everywhere? What kind of person is she?"

How could Commander Xiao have raised such a daughter? She doesn't resemble a soldier at all.

Tian Da looked at his sister and said, "Look, this is your good friend. I didn't say anything before we met Jiang Qiao, but now that we've met her in person, do you think Jiang Qiao is that kind of person?"

"She's just a young girl, aren't you afraid of ruining her reputation? You shouldn't be friends with Xiao Jing anymore; don't let her influence you in the long run."

Tian Yu nodded with a smile, "Third Brother, don't worry, I know what I'm doing. Before, I was still considering the friendship we had when we were little, but who knew that things would turn out like this when we grew up? I feel like she's a bit like her mother."

Tian Da chuckled and patted his sister's head. "You can't just say things like that. Just keep it in mind."

No sooner had he finished speaking than Jiang Qiao came downstairs with her bag on her back. "Brother Zhou, we can set off now."

When Jiang Qiao and the others arrived, Tian Yu's biological mother had already returned from the hospital.

As soon as Jiang Qiao entered the courtyard, she could hear coughing coming from inside the house. She was worried that if the coughing continued, her throat might not be able to take it.

To be honest, in Jiang Qiao's opinion, Tian Yu's house was quite nice. It was a two-story detached house with a courtyard. With that kind of scale, it should be of a very high level. As for how high, she couldn't say for sure.

"Mom, we're back—"

Even though her coughing hadn't stopped, Li Wenxiu still came out of the house when she heard the child's voice.

"Third brother? When did you get back?"

Before her son could answer, Li Wenxiu started coughing again, and the two children quickly went over to help their mother.

"No, it's nothing, Mom's always like this."

"Mom, sit down first. I've found a doctor for you. Let him take a look at you." Li Wenxiu looked up at Zhou Tianyu and Jiang Qiao, her face slightly surprised, and reached out her hand to Jiang Qiao.

"You must be a junior doctor, come and take a look at me—"

Li Wenxiu's performance was beyond Jiang Qiao's expectations. Most people would never believe that she could cure diseases when they first saw her, but this woman was quite calm.

"Auntie, please sit down, I'll take your pulse—"

Jiang Qiao didn't waste any words and went straight to taking her pulse. After taking her pulse, he looked up at the woman and said, "Auntie, you know your own illness. It is indeed asthma, but the excessive dampness in your body has aggravated the condition."

"Okay, let me give you acupuncture first. Where would you like to place it?"

Li Wenxiu was not surprised by Jiang Qiao's words; some doctors had also noticed it. However, despite so much treatment, there was still no improvement.

It wasn't that she didn't doubt Jiang Qiao's abilities, but this person was brought back by her son, and she couldn't question her son's filial piety. She knew her own child, and someone her son would go to the trouble of inviting must have some connections.

"Alright, let's go to my bedroom. Kids, you wait here—"

Tian Yu was worried and wanted to go with him, but Jiang Qiao only told her to stay outside the door and made it clear, "I'm afraid someone might disturb me when I'm giving acupuncture. Don't worry, I won't run away if anything happens."

To be honest, Tian Yu was really worried, but Jiang Qiao had already said what she wanted to say, so she could only wait at the door. Jiang Qiao had also said that no one should be allowed to come in and disturb them.

Li Wenxiu wasn't without suspicion about Jiang Qiao's actions; she had never seen a doctor perform acupuncture without allowing others to watch.

However, since the doctor was invited by her son, his character must be impeccable. Otherwise, she would have had to think twice. There must be something wrong with a stranger not allowing family members to stay by his side, and she certainly wouldn't dare to do that.

However, now that she's in her own home, even if Jiang Qiao tries anything, she can just shout and that girl won't be able to escape.

Jiang Qiao thought Li Wenxiu was magnanimous, but who would have thought that she had so many thoughts in her heart.

After the woman undressed, Jiang Qiao took out the needles left behind by the old doctor, sterilized them, and used them directly on her.

Asthma is a difficult disease to cure completely. Even if she takes action, it will take time. She doesn't want to stay outside for too long because she's afraid her two elderly relatives at home will worry.

She didn't know how effective the needle would be, but something passed down through generations of traditional Chinese medicine practitioners must have something special about it, so she decided to use it.

After the needle was inserted, Li Wenxiu, lying on the bed, felt a cool sensation in her chest, like drinking an iced drink on a hot summer day—comfortable, not just comfortable, but extremely comfortable.

When she opened her eyes and looked at Jiang Qiao, the little girl's behavior surprised her greatly. The little girl was actually getting acupuncture with her eyes closed. She didn't know what was going on. How could this be possible?

What she didn't know was that Jiang Qiao was currently channeling his internal energy and the surrounding spiritual energy into the needle, allowing these two forces to merge together and gradually enter the patient's body through the needle.

Moreover, the force cannot be too great, otherwise, before she can cure the patient, the patient may not be able to withstand it and die. Therefore, the degree must be well controlled. Closing her eyes can help her calm down and feel more clearly.

Li Wenxiu wanted to observe a little longer, but unfortunately, her eyes betrayed her. She didn't want to sleep, but her eyelids drooped, and soon she fell asleep, even snoring.

Outside the door, Tian Yu pressed her ear against it, constantly monitoring the sounds inside, especially the snoring, which even surprised her.

Since her mother fell ill, she hasn't been sleeping well. Putting aside whether Jiang Qiao can cure her mother's chronic illness, just the fact that Jiang Qiao can help her mother get a good night's sleep makes her think that Jiang Qiao is capable.

In such a short time, her mother had already fallen asleep, and in a deep sleep without coughing at all, something that had never happened before.

Tian Da, who was sitting downstairs, was also extremely anxious. He wanted to go up and see what was going on with his mother, at least to let her know what her condition was.

Seeing his expression, Zhou Tianyu glanced at him with amusement and said, "If you want to go up, then go up. Just don't go in and disturb the patient's treatment. You should be able to speak quietly."

Come on, I want to know what's going on too—"

When Tian Yu saw the two people coming up, she waved to them in surprise and then put her index finger to her lips.

The voice was extremely low, only the three of them could hear: "Mom's asleep, Jiang Qiao hasn't finished her injections yet, listen to that snoring—"

Tian Da had no doubt about what his sister said, and excitedly put his arm around Zhou Tianyu's shoulder and patted him hard.

Not daring to breathe, he whispered, "Brother, thanks. My mom's condition makes it hard for her to get a full night's sleep. She coughs all the time. Let's go downstairs and wait."
