Madam Li personally escorted Gu Nian and her two siblings back home. When they left the Li family, she sent someone to invite Grandma Xiao from her third aunt's place, because Gu Nian said that several elderly people were staying with her at her third aunt's place.
There's no one here in the courtyard yet; they're probably still at the lantern festival or have already gone to Aunt Gu's place.
Gu Nian handed the key to Madam Li.
Dahuang and Xiaocheng, who were with Madam Li, carried Gu Hui and Gu En, the siblings, into the house.
Gu Nian started feeling unwell again. There were no men present, so after entering the courtyard, she tore off her outer garment, leaving her only in her inner garment.
Just then, Gu Shouxin and Cai Xiaolian returned. Seeing the car at the gate of the courtyard, the couple quickened their pace.
Seeing that it was someone from Madam Li's side, they knew something had happened.
The oil lamp in the main room was already lit. When Gu Shouxin saw Gu Nian's condition at the door of the main room, he went straight to the kitchen, grabbed a bucket of water, and poured it over Gu Nian's head without saying a word.
"Pfft!" Gu Nian blinked, shook her head, and spat out a mouthful of saliva. "Dad, another bucket, please."
Gu Shouxin fetched another bucket and poured it on Gu Nian. If Gu Nian weren't a girl, he would have liked to drag her into the bucket and soak her in the cold water.
"Madam Li! What's wrong with my daughter?" Gu Shouxin turned to look at Madam Li, his address now distant, unnoticed by anyone present.
"This is all my fault. I didn't manage the servants in the house properly. I've already sent someone to invite Doctor Xiao over. Let her examine Niannian first, and then we'll talk about it," Madam Li apologized sincerely.
"Xiao Lian, go find an embroidery needle!" Gu Shouxin gave Madam Li a deep look, then said to Cai Xiaolian.
Cai Xiaolian rushed to get the needle. Seeing Gu Nian like this, she was heartbroken and could only pin her hopes on Gu Shouxin to see if he could find a solution.
The embroidery needle was taken out. Gu Shouxin pulled Gu Nian's hand and pricked her fingertip, then squeezed her finger to draw blood.
Gu Nian: "Ouch, Dad, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts..."
Gu Shouxin ignored her and continued to squeeze in.
After she had finished squeezing with both hands, Grandma Xiao, Grandma Gu, and Gu Xin returned.
Seeing Gu Nian like this, Grandma Xiao didn't even need to ask any questions and just let her into the house.
Before long, Gu Nian's entire body was covered in silver needles, and he was sweating profusely.
Grandma Xiao was also covered in sweat; she hadn't been this tired in a long time.
Gu Nian said guiltily, "I'm so sorry, Grandma Xiao, I've caused you so much trouble!"
It's such a hassle to make an old lady come all the way here late at night for acupuncture, isn't it?
Grandma Xiao took a sip of water and laughed, "One prick or two pricks, it's all the same. But you kids are really a handful. Yuan Yuan's stomach is all stabbed, and where did you get pricked this time?"
Gu Nian was taken aback: "What happened to Zhou Yuan?"
Before Grandma Xiao could explain, Gu Xin said, "Sister, you don't know how close we got today! Brother Yuanyuan has two wounds, one in his stomach. Grandma Xiao said he almost had his intestines ruptured! His arm is also injured. He was also covered in needles just now."
Gu Nian: "!"
Grandma Xiao sighed, "Luckily I have two sets of silver needles, otherwise I would have had to spend time buying them, and you would have had your father squeeze your fingers until they bled. Alright, Lao Gu and Xin Xin, keep an eye on her. In half an hour, when she stops sweating, you can remove the needles. Xin Xin, do you remember how I taught you to remove the needles, and what to do after they're removed?"
Gu Xin nodded: "Grandma Xiao, go quickly! Go see Brother Yuanyuan, I'll watch over my sister."
Grandma Gu saw Grandma Xiao out.
