"good."
It's unclear whether the former let go too quickly or the latter caught it too slowly, but the hairpin fell to the ground and broke in two.
Su Mengdie covered her mouth: "Oh dear, but I was careless."
Huo Xiaoyue also looked ashamed: "It's not my fault, sister-in-law. I didn't hold it properly."
After saying that, the two of them looked at Huo Chenzhou, whose face was ashen.
He lowered his eyes, his gaze falling on the silver needles in his arm, and said in a flat voice, "It's alright."
Su Mengdie smiled again: "Since it's broken, then let's throw it away. I'll pick out a better one for Wanqing tomorrow."
Shen Qiyin watched this scene with a cold eye, and suddenly realized that she might have made a mistake in her judgment.
She initially thought that Huo Wanqing hadn't come in with her because she knew Su Mengdie and Huo Xiaoyue were there and wasn't worried that it would be improper for her to be alone with Huo Chenzhou.
However, judging from the current situation, it's probably because the sisters-in-law have a strained relationship.
After the acupuncture treatment, Huo Chenzhou went to take a medicinal bath. Once her blood and energy were circulating throughout her body, she would then massage her meridians, which would have a more significant effect.
The problem lies in this "pushing of meridians".
Upon hearing that Shen Qiyin was personally massaging Huo Chenzhou, Su Mengdie did not show any displeasure on her face, but she asked in her mouth, "Didn't the Lady of the Township bring a young apprentice?"
"No."
Even if Chunsheng were brought here, this job is not something he can do.
Seeing that Shen Qiyin's expression was indifferent, Su Mengdie explained, "Please don't misunderstand me as being petty. I'm only thinking of you. As an unmarried young lady, you should know that men and women should not touch each other. If this gets out, it may be bad for your reputation."
Shen Qiyin: "I understand the reasoning, so what you're saying is that I don't need to treat him?"
"No, it's just for the sake of your reputations. How about the village head wraps some strips of cloth around your hands?"
These words made Shen Qiyin laugh.
I understand.
The young mistress was afraid that she would "defile" her husband's noble body.
“Young Madam, when a doctor performs acupuncture and massage, it’s all about feel. You’ve wrapped my hands up with cloth. What’s the difference between that and sending a general into battle with an unsharpened sword?”
Su Mengdie pursed her lips and remained silent.
In the end, Huo Chenzhou spoke up himself, saying that if it wouldn't cause trouble for Shen Qiyin, then he would still ask her to treat him.
While she was waiting for him to take a bath, she sat for a while and when she stood up, her legs suddenly went numb and her knees buckled.
Huo Chenzhou reacted quickly and helped her up.
He only supported her forearm briefly, and immediately withdrew his hand after she regained her balance.
Su Mengdie watched this scene with an unreadable expression in her eyes.
As the massage ended and she saw Shen Qiyin off, she suddenly spoke to her in a voice only the two of them could hear: "Is this how the Lady of the Township seduced Prince Xiao?"
