"real?"
Chen Lanzhi and the Zhao family were overjoyed. This was good news! The pain was gone, and Zhao Yingfeng would suffer much less.
"Hmm! Not only does it not hurt anymore, but it also feels warm and comfortable."
Zhao Yingfeng said excitedly, his previous refined demeanor completely gone.
"Second Uncle, you've been taking your medicine well these past few days. I'll come over every day to give you acupuncture. We'll perform the surgery in five days."
Lin Yuxin packed up her silver needles, wrote a prescription, handed it to her second aunt, and then gave her instructions.
"OK."
Zhao Yingfeng was very well-behaved at this moment, doing whatever Lin Yuxin asked him to do, showing no manners whatsoever as an elder.
Seeing that his son was alright and there was still a chance of recovery, Zhao Shijie was very happy. He told everyone to go home, and then said to Lin Yuxin:
"Yuxin, come to the study with me, I need to talk to you."
"yes!"
Lin Yuxin was puzzled, but she assumed that he called her because of her second uncle's injury.
Amidst the enthusiastic gazes of the Zhao family, Lin Yuxin followed Zhao Shijie to the study.
Those who remained watched Lin Yuxin's retreating figure with obvious affection.
Aunt: "I never knew Yuxin had this ability!"
Third Aunt: "It's good for a girl to have a self-defense skill."
Third Uncle: "Yuxin is really amazing, no wonder she's my niece."
The younger children were also incredibly impressed, practically regarding Lin Yuxin as a goddess.
Lin Yuxin was unaware that she had gained a large following from the Zhao family this time.
Lin Yuxin followed Zhao Shijie to the study.
"I wonder what brings you here, Grandfather?"
Lin Yuxin looked at her maternal grandfather, who had been sitting at his desk for a long time without saying a word, and had no choice but to speak first.
Looking at the young girl in front of him, Zhao Shijie's serious face softened slightly, and he smiled:
"Can't I just have a chat with you? Yuxin, how were you doing before?"
"Even though I was living on the streets before, I was still doing pretty well...!"
Seeing that her grandfather was really asking her, Lin Yuxin repeated what she had told Zhao Hanyue.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Shijie remained silent for a moment, a look of heartache flashing in his eyes as he looked at Lin Yuxin.
This child has been away from home since she was little, and must have suffered a lot, but she doesn't want to talk about it. He won't force her; he'll make it up to her later.
In a split second, Zhao Shijie imagined Lin Yuxin being abused.
Luckily, Lin Yuxin didn't know, otherwise she would have been speechless.
However, Lin Yuxin thought of something else, and she looked at Zhao Shijie and suddenly said:
"Grandfather, how is your health?"
Zhao Shijie was taken aback by the question and looked at Lin Yuxin in confusion.
"Aside from being a little tired sometimes, everything else is fine!"
"Could you show this to Yuxin?"
Lin Yuxin asked politely.
Zhao Shijie smiled. Although he didn't understand why Yuxin would suddenly care about his health instead of talking about that matter, he still reached out and placed his hand on the desk.
Lin Yuxin walked over and slowly placed her hand on Zhao Shijie's wrist to take his pulse.
After a short while, Lin Yuxin withdrew her hand and looked at Zhao Shijie seriously, saying:
"Grandfather, there are signs of damage to your heart meridian. Have you been injured before?"
"...That's right, the wounds I sustained in the battle ten years ago, I thought they were healed all these years ago."
Zhao Shijie's surprise lasted only a moment before he admitted it.
"Grandfather, don't worry. I'll prescribe some medicine for you, and with my acupuncture treatment, you'll be fully recovered."
Lin Yuxin looked at Zhao Shijie and said.
[Once my grandfather's health is cured, he will be able to go to the battlefield. I hope my grandfather will be safe.]
On her way here, she had considered that if she told her grandfather to take precautions and prevent this incident, it would probably be impossible. Even if the Regent could prevent what happened at the state banquet, what difference would it make? The State of Qi had long been eyeing their country covetously and would send troops sooner or later.
[Furthermore, she understands the spirit of soldiers; they are willing to risk their lives to protect their country. Besides, no one from Xia Kingdom is currently available to go to the battlefield. The Regent could go, but only if he is unharmed.]
Therefore, the only solution she can offer now is to increase the military strength of the General's Mansion.
Lin Yuxin pondered a solution in her mind and felt that this was the best approach.
That's why she didn't mention it.
Zhao Shijie went from being puzzled to being moved, realizing that this child was truly thinking of the Zhao family wholeheartedly.
"Yuxin, whatever you say, your grandfather will do. You can arrange the General's Mansion however you want. Your grandfather is giving you this power. Yuxin, your grandfather is entrusting the family to you!"
Not wanting to put Lin Yuxin in a difficult position, Zhao Shijie suddenly said something serious and pointed.
This completely baffled Lin Yuxin. Hand it over to her?!
[Wait, why was it handed over to her? Wasn't this supposed to be about health? Or did Grandfather sense something?]
Lin Yuxin quickly realized that her maternal grandfather, having lived most of his life, couldn't possibly be unaware of it. But what did it mean to hand it over to her?
"...Grandfather, what do you mean by entrusting it to me?"
Lin Yuxin asked cautiously.
"It means exactly what it says. During this period, I've entrusted the health of the family to you. You can arrange things however you like."
Zhao Shijie repeated it again seriously.
"...Alright! Grandfather, rest assured and leave them to me. I guarantee they'll live to be ninety-nine."
Lin Yuxin didn't care about the situation. Since her grandfather had given her this power, she had to make good use of it to raise the overall military strength of the General's Mansion by several levels.
