Caiyun watched with bated breath, her hand unconsciously rubbing the hem of her clothes. Before she knew it, the hem of her clothes was soaked with cold sweat from her palm and crumpled into a ball.
However, Bai Ruohan should be the one suffering the most at this moment.
Many times when the needles were inserted into her body, she was in so much pain that she almost cried out, but in order not to give herself away, she could only grit her teeth and endure it.
A thin layer of sweat had involuntarily formed on her forehead, and her body was like a taut string.
It's alright, Bai Ruohan, just hang in there a little longer, it will pass soon!
After the last needle was inserted, Liu Mengwan glanced at Bai Ruohan again, looking at his stiff body like a piece of wood, and couldn't help but laugh to herself.
It's unbelievable how patient she is!
Then, Liu Mengwan said calmly, "The acupuncture is finished now. Next, I will give her moxibustion."
Upon hearing this, Caiyun immediately asked in great fear, "Does it hurt?"
Liu Mengwan pretended to think for a moment, then said in a serious tone, "The pain isn't like acupuncture, but the feeling of being roasted over a fire is much more unpleasant..."
"Huh? We have to roast it with fire too!"
After hearing Liu Mengwan's words, Caiyun couldn't help but widen her eyes again.
She simply couldn't bear to think any further. How could their young lady endure such suffering, with needle pricks and burning torture?
Looking at Caiyun's face, which had turned somewhat pale, Liu Mengwan remained calm. She then said casually, "It's alright. She hasn't woken up yet, so she won't feel any discomfort. Speaking of which, I've done this treatment on conscious people before, and the scene was...tsk tsk tsk...it took several people to hold that person down, and they were still wailing and howling."
Liu Mengwan began to spout nonsense with a straight face, and as she spoke, she deliberately made a threatening expression, which made Caiyun's already uneasy heart even more anxious.
Then she saw Liu Mengwan light a fire and start burning moxa sticks until they were red-hot before she probed them onto Bai Ruohan's skin.
"We're giving up! We're giving up!"
Caiyun finally couldn't hold back any longer. She immediately cried out in alarm, and while shouting, she stepped forward to stop her, as if Liu Mengwan was not treating her young lady's illness, but murdering her.
“How can we just give up? If you had said you didn’t want treatment from the beginning, that would have been one thing, but we’ve already had acupuncture done, we can’t just give up halfway!”
Liu Mengwan directly rejected the other party's request, stating it with absolute certainty.
The real show has only just begun, so how can we stop here?
Although Caiyun was terrified, she couldn't argue back, since she didn't know anything about medicine. So she could only awkwardly let go and stop trying to stop her.
Immediately, Liu Mengwan held the smoking moxa stick close to Bai Ruohan's face, and deliberately aimed the smoke from it at his mouth and nose.
Bai Ruohan was choked half to death by the smoke, but she stubbornly endured it and dared not react. She could only try her best to hold her breath and not smell the smell, but tears still streamed down her face uncontrollably from the smoke.
Once she felt she had done enough, Liu Mengwan turned her attack on the most sensitive spot on the sole of her foot.
Moreover, this time she deliberately placed the moxa stick very close to Bai Ruohan's skin, and soon the originally fair and delicate skin turned bright red.
At this moment, Bai Ruohan was like an ant on a hot pan. The burning sensation on her feet made her sweat profusely. What was worse, she had to endure the searing pain, and every second felt like an eternity.
She didn't know how much longer she would be tormented like this, nor did she know what she would get in return for enduring so much pain.
"ah!"
Just as she was suffering, Bai Ruohan suddenly felt an intense pain in the soles of her feet, as if they were on fire. The pain was so intense that she couldn't help but scream and reflexively pulled her feet away.
"Miss! Miss, are you alright?!"
Caiyun rushed over in a panic and helped up Bai Ruohan, whose face was flushed and covered in sweat.
"It's so hot! It's so hot! It hurts so much!"
Bai Ruohan frowned as she looked at her feet.
Her fair skin had turned red and felt extremely hot to the touch. Moreover, it seemed as if blisters were about to form on her skin.
This pained Caiyun greatly. She immediately turned to Liu Mengwan with a furious expression and said, "You quack doctor! You burned my young lady like this! If anything goes wrong, can you afford to compensate me?"
Seeing the other party's stern and glaring expression, Liu Mengwan was not angry at all. Her expression remained calm and composed, but there was a hint of coldness in her eyes.
Then, she calmly retorted, "What problems could possibly arise? She's awake now, isn't she? As long as she's alright, that's all that matters. If I hadn't been ruthless, would she have woken up?"
These words seemed to have a hidden meaning. Seeing Liu Mengwan's impolite attitude, Bai Ruohan immediately became angry. She pointed at the other party and said angrily, "So, you did all that on purpose!"
"Shh..."
But then Liu Mengwan put her hand to her lips and said mysteriously, "You can't say that. How could it be on purpose? I was clearly trying to help you get better..."
Seeing the other party's sarcastic and strange appearance almost made Bai Ruohan furious.
Looking at Bai Ruohan's face, which alternated between black and white, Liu Mengwan couldn't help but smile mockingly. She then turned around and opened the door. Not long after, Feng Beichuan and the doctor also came in.
Upon seeing Feng Beichuan, Bai Ruohan's anger vanished instantly. She immediately composed herself, tidied her hair and clothes, and tried her best to appear in her best condition.
Unfortunately, Feng Beichuan didn't even bother to look at her. He simply turned to look at Liu Mengwan and said with a half-smile, "Miss Liu truly lives up to her reputation as a family of renowned healers. I never expected to see such remarkable results in such a short time."
Liu Mengwan nodded slightly to Feng Beichuan, then said politely, "Your Highness is too kind. This is all thanks to her own hard work, not because of my superior medical skills."
Upon hearing this, Feng Beichuan merely glanced at Bai Ruohan with disgust in his eyes, and then said, "Even at its worst, it's still much more effective than this quack doctor!"
After saying that, Feng Beichuan gave the doctor a cold look, which made the man's heart tighten. Although he was being openly called a quack, he did not dare to say a word.
