The General's Pampered Lucky Little Treasure

Folks! Who understands this feeling?! When she was born, her father was missing. When she was two, her mother disappeared. When she was four, her older brother fell into the river and drowned... Wa...

Chapter 44 My sister-in-law has been poisoned!

The little dumpling said to everyone:

"He's a fraud; he doesn't know how to perform acupuncture at all."

“If that acupuncture point had been needled, my sister-in-law’s eyes would have been ruined and she would never have been able to see again.”

The old Taoist priest was startled when he heard what the little dumpling said.

He only intended to wake Bai Mengyun by pricking her acupoint; he had no idea that the acupoint could cause blindness.

The old Taoist priest suppressed his panic; he couldn't let a little girl expose him.

Otherwise, how will I ever get by in the future?!

Moreover, if the Mu family finds out that he is swindling and deceiving, they will definitely not let him off the hook.

The old Taoist priest feigned composure, but his tone still lacked confidence.

"You...you're talking nonsense!"

"I am using acupuncture to save people. Applying needles and acupoints—what could a mere child like you possibly know about such medical techniques!"

The little dumpling stood with its hands on its hips, its round eyes filled with pride and confidence.

"Hmph! Acupuncture points, of course I know all about that."

She not only knew how to do it, but she also cured her uncle's eyes.

The old Taoist priest was stunned for a moment, but then he thought, how could a little baby like her really understand?

The old Taoist priest wanted to retort, but was stunned by Mu Jinchen's icy gaze.

Mu Jinchen's patience had run out. He had only wanted his wife to get better quickly, which was why he had acquiesced to the old Taoist priest treating Bai Mengyun.

Now, based on what the little dumpling said, he also understands what a highly accomplished master and a miracle doctor are!

He's a complete fraud.

Mu Jinchen walked over, and without saying a word, grabbed the old Taoist priest by the collar and lifted him up.

Mu Jinchen walked to the door and tossed the old Taoist priest outside as easily as throwing a chick.

Mu Jinchen ordered sternly, "Men, take this swindler to the Dali Temple and hand him over to Zhen Shaoqing for punishment."

Although his relationship with Bai Mengyun had gradually cooled over the years, as a responsible man, he would never abandon his sick wife.

What's more, now a swindler has come along and almost caused Bai Mengyun to go blind.

Mu Jinchen would never let him go.

Faced with the strong Mu Jinchen, the old Taoist priest fell to the ground without any resistance.

Upon hearing that he was to be thrown into the Dali Temple, the old Taoist priest panicked and fearfully begged Madam Bai for help:

"Mrs. Bai, please, I'm not a liar."

Madam Bai naturally did not believe that the old Taoist priest was a fraud.

She grabbed Mu Jinchen and said, "Son-in-law, how can you listen to a child's nonsense! Master Jia is a divine doctor, how could he be a fraud?"

Mu Jinchen: "Hmph, you don't need to say anything more. I trust my sister; she never talks nonsense."

Madam Bai stomped her foot in anger and punched Mu Jinchen in exasperation.

Mu Jinchen stood still, his body not even swaying, as if he hadn't been punched at all.

"And what about me? You don't even believe me? I went to great lengths to invite this miracle doctor to treat your grandmother."

"You're not grateful to me, and you even say the person I hired is a fraud."

Madam Bai insisted on protecting the old Taoist priest, and the servants were unable to act for the time being, so they looked at Mu Jinchen with some difficulty.

Mu Jinchen crossed his arms and said, "Alright, since my mother-in-law trusts him so much, why don't we let him perform acupuncture on my wife?"

Little dumpling: ? ?

Is the older brother confused too?

How could we let a scammer treat my sister-in-law's illness?

"But let me make this clear first: my sister just said that if the acupuncture is not performed properly, it could cause my wife to go blind."

“If my mother-in-law really trusts him, she might as well risk her daughter going blind and let him get treatment.”

"If you cure it, I will reward you with ten thousand taels of gold; but if you can't cure it..."

When Madam Bai and the old Taoist priest heard about the ten thousand taels of gold, they both showed greedy joy.

But Mu Jinchen's next words sent a chill down their spines.

A fierce glint appeared in Mu Jinchen's eyes.

"If he can't be cured, I want his head, and yours, to compensate for my wife's blindness."

After saying that, Mu Jinchen stepped aside, making way for Madam Bai and the old Taoist priest.

The little dumpling's heart was finally at ease.

It turns out that the older brother was using a strategy of retreat as a means of advancement.

Madam Bai frowned in hesitation; her life and her daughter's sight rested on her decision.

When her own interests were involved, Madam Bai began to question the old Taoist priest for the first time.

She looked at the old Taoist priest, only to see that his pupils were unfocused and his eyes were blank.

"Can you cure my daughter?" Madam Bai was already somewhat hesitant.

The old Taoist priest was stunned for a long time, as if struck by lightning. Then he suddenly stood up and pushed Madam Bai against a pillar next to him.

"Go to hell! I'm here to make a fortune, not to die for you."

The old Taoist priest was no longer the enlightened master he had been moments before. He began to curse wildly, waving his hands to push away the people around him.

Mu Jinchen shook his head in disappointment. This liar was even weaker and more incompetent than he had imagined.

With just a light test, its true nature was revealed.

The old Taoist priest tried to run away, but he forgot that this was the Mu family's residence!

Several servants quickly pinned him to the ground, knocking out two of his front teeth.

"Grandpa, please forgive me, I'll never do it again." The old Taoist priest revealed his missing teeth, and his speech was slurred.

Madam Bai bumped into a pillar and hurt the back of her head.

She covered her head, angrily stepped forward, and kicked the old Taoist priest in the head.

"You damn liar, how dare you lie to me!"

"Son-in-law, quickly send him to the Dali Temple. We must not let this swindler get away."

Madam Bai seemed even more anxious than Mu Jinchen. Just a moment ago she was calling him a miracle doctor, but now she immediately changed her tune and called him a fraud.

Mu Jinchen rolled his eyes and ordered his servants to take the old Taoist priest to the Dali Temple.

The old Taoist priest kept begging for mercy, which annoyed the servants. They slapped him hard across the face several times and then stuffed a rag into his mouth.

The old Taoist priest was dragged away, sobbing, tears of regret streaming down his face.

Those who deceive others will eventually have to pay the price.

Even after the old Taoist priest left, Madam Bai was still so angry that her chest heaved.

She said regretfully to Mu Jinchen and the old Marquis:

"My lord, son-in-law, I was truly blinded by greed, to actually believe such a swindler."

After she finished speaking, tears streamed down her face, and she looked wronged and pitiful.

"But please consider that I am also a victim, so don't hold it against me. The most important thing now is to wait for the imperial physician to arrive and heal Yun'er as soon as possible!"

Mu Jinchen rolled his eyes again in exasperation.

"No need, my sister can cure it."

After speaking, Mu Jinchen walked up to the little dumpling, and his previously cold face immediately softened.

Mu Jinchen squatted down and asked the little girl, "Little sister, can you heal my sister-in-law?"

Little dumpling: "Do you believe me?"

Mu Jinchen: "Of course, I only trust you."

The old Marquis: "Grandfather also believes in you."

The two looked at Madam Bai.

Mrs. Bai: "Um... I believe you too."

How could she not believe it? These two looked at her as if they wanted to devour her!

If she said she didn't believe it, she would probably be carried out of the mansion immediately.

The little dumpling smiled as she climbed onto Bai Mengyun's bed and took out the silver needles from her bosom.

Bai Mengyun fainted due to excessive worry. Acupuncture at points such as Renzhong, Baihui, Yongquan, and the twelve Jing-Well points will suffice.

The little dumpling focused intently on finding acupuncture points and applying needles to Bai Mengyun.

Madam Bai kept her eyes glued to the little dumpling. She had initially thought the little dumpling was just talking nonsense, but she hadn't expected her to do it so well.

After the little boy finished administering the acupuncture, he waited a moment before removing the needles one by one.

Everything was going smoothly until she removed the needle from the Zhongchong acupoint, at which point the needle tip turned bluish-black.

The little dumpling blinked in surprise, then turned to Mu Jinchen and said:

"Big brother, sister-in-law has been poisoned! There are toxins in her body!"
