Treating Xu Zhitong
After everyone left, Zhong Ningning rubbed her sore neck, buried her head in the quilt, and shouted, "I'm so tired."
At this time, Mrs. Zhong came to Zhong Ningning's room after seeing off the guests. She looked at Zhong Ningning like that without saying anything, with a happy smile on her face.
From the moment her mother entered the room, Zhong Ningning sat upright. Looking at the smile on her mother's face, she had a bad premonition.
Zhong Ningning took the initiative to apologize: "I'm sorry, Mom, for ruining the birthday party and the engagement party that you carefully organized."
"Ningning, you must be tired. Have a good rest today." Mrs. Zhou touched Zhong Ningning's head kindly.
"Who are you? You are not my mother. Are you possessed by a monster?" Zhong Ningning shook her shoulders and screamed.
"What are you talking about, kid? It's all nonsense." Mrs. Zhou tapped Ningning's forehead. "Although the fortune-telling was not successful today, the news of you curing the grandson of Duke Xin has spread out. I wonder who will still say that our Ningning is a country girl. I believe that in the near future, there will be many people asking me to tell fortunes."
"Mother will definitely choose a perfect husband for you when the time comes."
"No, mother, how can you bear to let such a smart, cute, sensible and well-behaved daughter of yours get married like this?" Zhong Ningning wanted to cry but had no tears.
"I'm not going to marry you off right after the engagement. I'm going to keep you at home for two more years." Mrs. Zhou hugged Zhong Ningning and said, "You are my darling. How can I marry you off so early?"
"I won't talk to you anymore. There are still a lot of things waiting for you to deal with after the banquet." Mrs. Zhou waved her hand, then seemed to remember something and turned around and said, "Your birthday has passed. Xiaoyan is probably going to leave. Why don't you try to keep him?"
Zhong Ningning remembered that Madam Xu had disappeared since she left Lin Yan, so she asked, "Mother, have you seen my sister?"
"No, you look for it yourself. I have something else to deal with." After saying this, Mrs. Zhou left.
Zhong Ningning was just about to go look for her, but as soon as she walked out of the yard, she saw Lin Yan walking towards her, so she asked, "Sister, where have you been? I was just about to look for you."
The story of where Lin Yan went started half an hour ago. She noticed Zhong Yuxi hiding in the corner and quietly followed her back to the yard.
After climbing onto Zhong Yuxi's roof, Lin Yan still had some doubts that were not resolved.
As soon as Zhong Yuxi returned to the house, she drove the maid away and started smashing teacups, cursing: "Everything was planned well, but then Lin Yan came and interfered. Isn't she just a passerby?"
Zhong Yuxi looked at the luck value dropping above his head and was furious, "I worked so hard for so long, but it was all a failure."
"If this goes on, all the luck points I stole from Zhong Ningning with great difficulty will be gone. That would be the end of me."
Lin Yan stared at the numbers falling above Zhong Yuxi's head. Although he was prepared, he was still very surprised. Could it be that Zhong Yuxi was a monster?
At this time, the maid Luluo called out from outside the door: "Miss, the old lady sent someone to ask you to go to her place for dinner."
"I understand." Zhong Yuxi straightened her clothes and pushed the door open.
Seeing that he could no longer hear anything, Lin Yan left.
All the way back to Zhong Ningning's yard, she was thinking about what she had heard.
So Zhong Yuxi really has the ability to predict the future, and the glowing thing on her head must be because of Aning.
The luck value literally means luck. Zhong Yuxi can steal Aning's luck, so no matter what Zhong Yuxi does, it will definitely be disadvantageous to Aning.
Lin Yan guessed that Zhong Yuxi must be hiding something.
Seeing that Lin Yan didn't answer her, Zhong Ningning waved her hands in front of Lin Yan and shouted, "Sister, sister."
Lin Yan came back to his senses, coughed lightly, and asked, "What's wrong?"
"I asked where my sister went." Zhong Ningning put her hands on her hips to express her dissatisfaction with Lin Yan not listening to her.
"I didn't go anywhere, just wandered around casually," Lin Yan made up an excuse.
Zhong Ningning pulled Lin Yan into the house, pressed Lin Yan on the chair, looked at her, and asked pitifully: "Sister, are you leaving?"
Without waiting for Lin Yan to answer, Zhong Ningning hugged Lin Yan's arm and shook it, saying coquettishly: "Sister, can you stay for a while longer, okay?"
Lin Yan felt dizzy from Zhong Ningning's shaking, "Stop, stop, stop shaking."
When Zhong Ningning stopped what she was doing, she said, "Who said I was leaving?"
"Really? Sister, please don't lie to me." Zhong Ningning looked surprised.
"Really?" Lin Yan said helplessly, "When have I ever lied to you?"
"Yes, you promised me that I could stay, but you knocked me out and sent me to my mother's carriage," Zhong Ningning muttered.
Even though her voice was very low, Lin Yan still heard it clearly. His lips moved, and he seemed to want to say something but stopped.
"I know the world is dangerous, I'm too weak, and my sister can't protect me all the time."
Zhong Ningning was a little angry when she returned to the capital at first. She was angry that her elder sister had lied to her, but later, after living a comfortable life in the capital, she realized that compared to the crisis-ridden and sinister world of Jianghu, the life here was the most suitable for her.
Lin Yan touched Zhong Ningning's head and promised: "Sister will never lie to you in the future."
If it were in the past, Lin Yan would never agree to stay in the capital for too long. There are too many rules in the capital, and she is not used to staying here for too long.
But now, Lin Yan can only leave with peace of mind after he has figured out the trouble with Zhong Yuxi.
Then Lin Yan said seriously: "Aning, stay away from Zhong Yuxi as much as possible in the future. It's best not to let her get close to you."
"I always try to stay away from her, but she insists on getting close to me." Zhong Ningning asked curiously, "Why did you suddenly say that, sister?"
"From the looks of your faces, I can tell you're meant to be in conflict with each other," Lin Yan lied.
"Sister, when did you learn to read people's faces?" Zhong Ningning asked with a smile.
"I can't say it, I can't say it. Just listen to me," Lin Yan pretended to be mysterious.
Duke Xin's Mansion
Madam Xu carried the sleeping Xu Zhitong back home and put him on the bed. When Prince Xin saw his wife coming back, he asked, "Did you have fun today?"
"Don't mention it. Today was extremely dangerous. Tong'er is sick again." Mrs. Xu is still in shock.
"What? Is Tong'er in trouble?" Prince Xin became nervous when he heard this.
"The boy is fine. Fortunately, Miss Zhong gave him acupuncture in time and brought him back from the brink of death," Mrs. Xu comforted.
"I'm glad you're okay." The Duke's son patted his chest and breathed a sigh of relief, then said worriedly: "I'm afraid the boy will be in a coma for a few more days. Fortunately, Miss Zhong knows medicine, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable."
"Tong'er woke up not long after his illness this time. Miss Zhong is not only knowledgeable in medicine, but her acupuncture skills are obviously from a famous doctor. Even Doctor Mo in the mansion can't compare to her."
"Is it that exaggerated? Could it be a coincidence?" the Duke's son doubted.
Mrs. Xu remembered Zhong Ningning's prescription and quickly summoned Doctor Mo. Doctor Mo was a famous doctor that the Duke had found in the martial arts world and the only one who could stabilize Xu Zhitong's condition.
After reading the prescription, Doctor Mo pondered for a long time.
Mrs. Xu was a little nervous: "Is there anything wrong with this prescription?"
"Wonderful, wonderful!" Doctor Mo was very excited after reading the prescription: "Excuse me, Madam, who made this prescription? I have studied the young master's illness for five years, but I couldn't come up with such a perfect prescription."
"It works?" The prince and his wife were surprised.
"I just took the young master's pulse. This prescription is suitable for this time, but it may not be suitable for next time." Doctor Mo was not sure.
"This prescription can only solve the young master's crisis this time. Whether the young master's illness can be cured depends on whether the person who prescribes this prescription can do the job."
"I am powerless, please don't blame me, madam." Doctor Mo bowed.
"How could I blame you?" Mrs. Xu helped Doctor Mo up: "You mean that the person who prescribed this prescription hopes to cure the child."
"This person's medical skills are far superior to mine. If she can't cure it, then no one in this world can cure it except the legendary Doctor Zhao," Doctor Mo replied.
Of course, the prince and his wife knew the name of Doctor Zhao. Doctor Zhao, the master of the Valley of Divine Doctors, was the best doctor in the Song Dynasty. Unfortunately, he was so elusive that almost no one could find him. The two of them had been searching for him for years without success.
So Zhong Ningning is the couple's last hope.
Mrs. Xu acted decisively and wrote an invitation to Lin Yan and Zhong Ningning to visit the Duke's Mansion, saying that she wanted to express her gratitude.
Zhong Ningning was not surprised to receive the invitation from Mrs. Xu.
According to Mrs. Xu's description, Xu Zhitong's illness had troubled them for many years since he was born.
Xu Zhitong's illness is a bit strange. Zhong Ningning has been looking through the letters her master gave her these days and finally found one with a similar illness to Xu Zhitong's.
The day after Zhong Ningning received the invitation, she and Lin Yan went to the Duke's Mansion.
Lin Yan didn't want to go at first, thinking that Zhong Ningning should be able to handle this matter alone.
Zhong Ningning dragged Lin Yan along, advising him, "According to Master's notes, during acupuncture, we must use internal force to expel the Qi from the human body. How can I treat it without you?"
"There are many people with inner strength in the Duke's Mansion. Madam Xu obviously wants to invite you there." Lin Yan didn't want to listen. She didn't want to have too much contact with these high-ranking families in the capital.
"My dear sister, just go. I feel more at ease with you around." Zhong Ningning hugged Lin Yan and acted coquettishly.
Lin Yan couldn't stand Zhong Ningning's behavior and quickly surrendered: "Okay, okay, I'll go. Is it not okay for me to go?"
Zhong Ningning immediately smiled victoriously.
Mrs. Xu received Zhong Ningning's reply early in the morning and waited at the door. When she saw Zhong Ningning and the others arriving, she warmly welcomed them in.
"Miss Zhong, I think you should have guessed why I came to see you today," Mrs. Xu said without beating around the bush.
"Tong'er's illness has been tormenting him since he was born. We have looked for famous doctors, but everyone said that Tong'er's illness is incurable." As she said this, Mrs. Xu began to wipe away her tears.
Seeing this, Zhong Ningning quickly comforted him: "It can be cured, it can be cured."
"Really?" Mrs. Xu's tears stopped instantly.
"......." Zhong Ningning curled her lips as she looked at Mrs. Xu's poor acting.
"Eighty percent, no, seventy percent. I'll have to wait until I have carefully examined the young master to find out the details," Zhong Ningning said.
"It's 70%! God, my son shouldn't die."
Mrs. Xu clasped her hands together and looked up at the sky. Then she adjusted her mood and took Zhong Ningning and the other person to Xu Zhitong's room.
When Xu Zhitong saw Lin Yan and the other two, he waved his hand and greeted them: "Hello, two beautiful sisters."
Lin Yan touched Xu Zhitong's head. If his mother hadn't been there, she would have wanted to pinch his face.
Mrs. Xu called Doctor Mo in and introduced him to Zhong Ningning and the others, "This is the famous doctor who has treated Tong'er in recent years. He knows Tong'er's illness very well. If you have any questions, you can ask him."
"You guys discuss it properly, I won't disturb you anymore." After saying that, Mrs. Xu left.
Watching Mrs. Xu leave, Doctor Mo asked Zhong Ningning stealthily: "Excuse me, young lady, who is your teacher?"
Zhong Ningning didn't answer.
Seeing this, Doctor Mo wanted to move closer to ask, but the next moment Lin Yan drew his sword and put it against his neck, scaring him so much that he dared not act rashly again.
In the following time, Zhong Ningning carefully took Xu Zhitong's pulse, examined him, and asked Dr. Mo about other conditions of Xu Zhitong's illness from time to time.
After watching Zhong Ningning's diagnosis and treatment process, Dr. Mo was in a daze for the whole afternoon, from doubt to shock to admiration.
When Zhong Ningning and the other person came out, Mrs. Xu came over and asked nervously, "How is my son?"
Zhong Ningning was so exhausted at this time that she was unable to speak.
"The young master's illness can be cured. After that, he will be given acupuncture once every month and take medicine once every three days until the end of the treatment. Doctor Mo also knows the acupuncture technique. If you have any other questions, you can come to her house," Lin Yan answered on behalf of Zhong Ningning.
"Aning is too tired, I'll take her back to rest"
"Okay, okay, go back quickly." Mrs. Xu looked at Zhong Ningning's exhausted appearance and nodded hurriedly, "I'll take you there."
After seeing Lin Yan and the other two off, Mrs. Xu looked at Doctor Mo, who was still in a trance, and waved her hand in front of him: "Doctor Mo, Doctor Mo, what's wrong with you?"
Mo Rufeng came back to his senses and looked at Madam Xu and said, "Those two are simply gods."
The scenes of this afternoon lingered in Mo Rufeng's mind.
At the beginning, when Zhong Ningning's hands, whose shadows could only be seen, were inserting needles into Xu Zhitong's body, Dr. Mo was already surprised. That technique would be impossible without several years of practice.
Later, when Lin Yan saw that Zhong Ningning was not capable, he took the initiative to take on the job.
Doctor Mo initially thought that Lin Yan couldn't do medicine, but after listening to how Zhong Ningning performed acupuncture, Lin Yan used his internal force to use the needle through the air, which made Doctor Mo open his mouth wide.
The two worked together, but it was mostly Zhong Ningning who gave the acupuncture, and Lin Yan only knew a little. During this time, Lin Yan used his internal energy to move ahead of Zhong Ningning and Xu Zhitong.
Doctor Mo was amazed when he saw this. He had been traveling in the martial arts world for many years, but he had never seen anyone with such strong internal energy, as if it was endless. These two people were really more terrifying than the other.
After reading the prescriptions written by Zhong Ningning for each stage, Dr. Mo found many of the herbs to be completely incredible.
But Zhong Ningning's technique caused Doctor Mo to think deeply. He had the good fortune to see this technique once ten years ago. It was performed by Doctor Zhao. Unfortunately, he was young at that time, and Doctor Zhao was wearing a mask, so he could not see his true face.
So this girl’s master is most likely Doctor Zhao!
Lin Yan noticed the shock and deep thought in Dr. Mo's eyes. While Aning was giving him acupuncture, he lowered his voice and threatened: "I don't care what you know, just watch your mouth. Otherwise, I have plenty of ways to keep you silent."
As he spoke, murderous intent flashed in Lin Yan's eyes, which frightened Doctor Mo so much that he broke out in a cold sweat and kept saying, "I understand, I understand."
Doctor Mo only briefly talked about Zhong Ningning's superb medical skills and did not dare to say more. After listening to her, Mrs. Xu began to feel fortunate that she had met the two of them.
Then Doctor Mo began to speak seriously: "Before she left, Miss Lin said that she didn't want others to know that the young master's illness was cured by Miss Zhong. I hope Madam will not spread it out."
After this, Mrs. Xu also guessed that the two of them were not simple people, and naturally understood that they did not want to cause trouble.
