"If it still hurts, then this injection would be in vain."
Just kidding, her master's reputation as the "Ghost Hand Magic Needle" is not undeserved. Acupuncture requires techniques and skills. Jian Ning has seen Old Man Yang and the imperial physicians in the capital giving acupuncture, and they have found that most of them use the quick-piercing and slow-twisting methods.
Her master often uses the lifting and inserting method, the rubbing method and the pricking method, which depend on the specific acupuncture points, including the strength of the wrist. This results in different people giving patients very different feelings when acupuncture at the same acupuncture point.
The wife of the prefect always consulted a doctor for acupuncture every time she had a headache. This was the first time that the pain was relieved so quickly. She was in excruciating pain when she sat down, but suddenly she felt fine as if nothing had happened. She felt very miraculous.
"Why is this..."
"Don't talk. It's not too late to talk after I take out the needle."
The wife of the prefect was stopped by Jian Ning as soon as she opened her mouth, because speaking would inevitably move the facial muscles, which would affect the accuracy of the acupoints, especially since the wife of the prefect had just moved her head slightly.
At this moment, Jian Ning was like a miracle doctor in the eyes of the lady of the prefecture. She would not speak if she was not allowed to. Her eyes were full of joy. She had been suffering from headaches for more than a year or two, and every time she had an attack, she felt like she was living a life worse than death.
After Jian Ning took out the needle, the wife of the prefect said with a smile, "How come it seems like nothing happened in just a few moments? You are truly a miracle doctor. I was negligent before, and I apologize to you."
As she spoke, she actually bent sideways, knelt, and saluted Jian Ningfu.
Jian Ning accepted her gift without dodging or evading. In terms of status, she was the Princess An Ning, who was personally appointed by the current emperor, and she deserved her gift.
"Madam, you still need to take medicine." Jane Ning handed her a box of ibuprofen sustained-release capsules. "This is a medicine I made myself to treat migraines. You should take it when you have a second attack. It also needs to be combined with a decoction. Who will write it after I tell them?"
Jian Ning looked at the prefect, who hurriedly ordered his servants, "Bring the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone."
The prefect's handwriting was square, strong, and powerful, suggesting a man who followed the rules. It's said that a person's handwriting reflects their personality, and their handwriting can also reveal their general character. Ding Youtian's handwriting, like a swift dragon, was uninhibited and unrestrained, demonstrating his unconventional nature.
Jian Ning's resentment towards the prefect was slightly reduced. After a conversation, she found that the prefect's wife was also an easy-going person and not very formal. She was thinking that if Ding Zhu could behave herself and change her character in such a family, and then have a son or daughter in the future, she would have a place to stay in this life. Then she heard voices outside the window.
"Is Madam feeling better?" The person asking the question lowered his voice, but because he was standing by the window, his voice still came through.
"It's all better now. She's a real miracle doctor. In just a moment, I didn't hear Madam crying out in pain anymore. That female doctor is truly amazing."
"Of course, that female doctor is our girl's sister-in-law, dear sister-in-law, but..."
"Who's talking outside?" When the prefect's wife heard that Jian Ning was Ding Zhu's sister-in-law, her eyebrows raised, "Come in and answer them."
Chun'er was brought in and fell to her knees. "Madam, Miss Ding Zhu sent me here to check on you. She said, she said..."
"What did she say? Speak frankly and don't hesitate."
Chun'er glanced at Jian Ning, "The young lady said that her sister-in-law is not a good person. She is worried that she has made the lady's condition worse, so she sent this servant to check on her."
The wife of the prefect didn't know about Jian Ning's relationship with Ding Zhu. When she heard Ding Zhu say that Jian Ning was not a good person, she slammed the table and said, "What nonsense! How can a sister-in-law slander her own sister-in-law like this?" She turned to look at the prefect, "Master, do you know that the female doctor is the sister-in-law of that little bitch?"
Lord Yang was secretly annoyed that Ding Zhu was causing trouble, but he also had some doubts in his mind. Jian Ning's medical skills were not those of an ordinary wandering doctor, and she knew a figure like General Geng. Looking at Jian Ning's clothes, behavior, and conversation, she did not look like a country woman.
He suddenly thought of the day when he rescued Ding Zhu. She was not wearing the clothes of a poor family. It seemed that her family was well off. Why would she sell her newly widowed sister-in-law to a brothel just to pay off her gambling debts?
This matter seemed a bit strange. He didn't answer his wife's question, but asked Jian Ning directly, "This mansion took in a concubine a month ago, named Ding Zhu. The concubine said that you two are sisters-in-law. I wonder if that's true or not?"
Well, she went from being Ding Zhu's aunt to being Ding Zhu's sister-in-law. No, they were no longer related, so she was no longer Ding Zhu's aunt. However, since Ding Youwang and Liu were no longer against them, it seemed that Ding Zhu had not participated in their murder. As for Ding Zhu's claim that she was not a good person, Jian Ning didn't want to argue with her, nor did she intend to expose her lies.
No matter what, she is Ding Youtian's niece. As long as she doesn't do anything to hurt them, she can say whatever she wants. Whether it is good or bad is not something she can define with her mouth.
Having made up her mind, Jian Ning said calmly, "My husband has a sister named Ding Zhu. I haven't seen her yet, so I don't know if she's your concubine. Maybe she has the same name and surname."
"Go and call her over." When the wife of the prefect heard what Jian Ning said, she was annoyed that Ding Zhu had slandered Jian Ning, so she asked Chun'er to go and find Ding Zhu.
"Why did you come to me when all was well?" Ding Zhu was startled. She pointed at Chun'er and said, "You are a dead person. You can't tell me that I am not feeling well..."
No, if she was not feeling well, the master would definitely ask Jian Ning to come and see her. Ding Zhu was so anxious that she was running around in circles, and Chun'er was also in a state of uncertainty. It was because Jian Ning knew that Ding Zhu said she was not a good person, but there was no trace of anger on her face. She knew that Ding Zhu had met Jian Ning, and it was she who accompanied Ding Zhu to the court in the front yard and got beaten.
She couldn't care less. Madam had sent her to fetch Ding Zhu. If she didn't go soon, she would be punished. So she coaxed Ding Zhu and said, "When the master mentioned the girl's name to the female doctor, I hadn't even had time to rush in. I heard the female doctor say that her husband had a sister with the same name as the girl. She said she didn't recognize her until she saw her. Maybe it was just a coincidence."
"I don't think she intends to acknowledge you. You'd better go over and take a look. If you're late, the master and the mistress might blame you."
Ding Zhu only heard one sentence in her mind. Jian Ning said that her husband had a sister with the same name and surname as her. She couldn't figure out whether Jian Ning really said that or Chun'er misheard, so she hurriedly pulled her and asked, "You didn't hear it wrong, she really said that, her husband has a sister with the same name and surname as me? Don't lie to me, if you lie to me, I will never forgive you!"
"Why would I lie to you? Miss, don't tell me before, only when you are well can I benefit. I naturally hope that you will be well! Come with me quickly, don't delay any longer, or you will be blamed by the lady."
Ding Zhu had experienced how powerful Mrs. Wu Fengfu was, and she didn't want to be sold out again, so she followed Chun'er to the main courtyard in a panic.
