It seems there's something I can't figure out.
Xie Lingqin rolled up her sleeves and took the winnowing basket. Just then, the Vice Minister's wife, accompanied by guards, carried Qin Qi over.
"Elder Dong..."
His expectant and enthusiastic words stopped abruptly upon seeing Xie Lingqin handling the medicinal herbs. His expression froze, and he raised his hand, pointing at Xie Lingqin, asking Elder Dong, "Elder Dong, she..."
"Oh, it just so happens that Miss Xie is here to help me today. She will assist me when I perform acupuncture."
"she……"
The Vice Minister's wife's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.
Xie Lingqin helped, then her son...
"Old Master Dong, you must be serious, this Miss Xie has a grudge against my son. Could she be up to something?" The Vice Minister's wife's voice trembled as she spoke.
"You, Vice Minister, don't you believe me?" Old Master Dong was angry. His voice suddenly turned cold, and he glared at him. "If you don't believe me, why did you ask me to save your son? Go, leave now."
"Oh, no, no, no... Elder Dong, that's not what I meant. Treat it, treat it, treat it now."
Seeing the Vice Minister's wife like this, Xie Lingqin truly admired this Old Master Dong to the core.
This is clearly because he is taking advantage of his medical skills to have the other party completely under his control.
Take another look at Qin Qi.
They're probably hanging there on their last breath.
That spinning and jumping just now probably used up all his primal power.
"Old Dong, what deep-seated grudge do you have against Qin Qi to resort to such a ruthless act?" Xie Lingqin glanced between her brows and whispered.
As expected, there was no end to the torture; it only got worse.
To everyone's surprise, Old Dong glanced at her and said calmly, "Am I not saving him?"
Xie Lingqin...
Mr. Dong, you're quite old, yet you have such a great sense of humor. However, she thoroughly enjoyed watching it.
Soon after, several guards carried Qin Qi into the room and onto a hard bed, where he lay face down.
As soon as Xie Lingqin approached, Qin Qi trembled violently, his eyes filled with panic.
"Son, it's alright, it's alright. Master Dong will give you acupuncture, you'll be fine in a little while," the Vice Minister's wife reassured him.
"Madam, I need to administer acupuncture. You may leave now."
"Old Dong said gently."
Upon hearing this, the wife of the Vice Minister would normally have left respectfully, but Xie Lingqin was still in the room, and she was holding such a long needle.
"Mr. Dong...Mr. Dong..."
The Vice Minister's wife rubbed her sleeves, hesitating, "May I...?"
"Madam Vice Minister, you no longer wish to save my son?" Old Master Dong's voice suddenly deepened, leaving no room for doubt.
"Then, why does Miss Xie want to stay here?" The Vice Minister's wife dared not question or interrogate, and tried her best to speak in a gentle tone.
Upon hearing this, Elder Dong glanced at Xie Lingqin and said, "Oh, I want to keep her in the room to hand over the needles. This girl is reliable, pleasing to people, and I trust her quite a bit."
"This..." The Vice Minister's wife opened her mouth, glanced at her son on the bed with his eyes wide open but unable to move, and could only tighten her grip on his hand. "Son, then I will go out first. Don't worry, Elder Dong will definitely save you."
These words were clearly directed at Mr. Dong.
However, Old Dong remained unmoved, as if he hadn't heard anything.
Fear flickered in Qin Qi's eyes. He seemed to want to grab the hand of the Vice Minister's wife beside him, but he had no strength.
So the door was closed.
Xie Lingqin then looked at Elder Dong and said in a very low voice, "Elder Dong, do you want to kill Qin Qi and frame me, or do you want to give me a chance to vent my anger?"
His tone was cold and detached, indicating he wasn't joking.
Old Dong raised his wrinkled eyes and glanced at her. "Do as you please."
Let her do as she pleases?
At this moment, only she, Old Master Dong, and Qin Qi on the bed remained in the room.
"Give me the needles," said Old Dong.
"What size? What size?" Xie Lingqin stared at the rows of needles of different sizes, feeling a headache coming on.
"You can have any number you want, and any size you want." Old Dong walked to the side, picked up his teacup, and said casually, completely ignoring Xie Lingqin's almost astonished expression after hearing this.
Xie Lingqin was indeed taken aback.
She thought that when she came to the Dong residence today, Old Master Dong would definitely be looking for ways to make trouble for her, but she never expected that he would give her such a great benefit.
Looking up at him, I saw a carefree and serene expression on his face. How adorable!
"Elder Dong, you are a highly respected elder." Xie Lingqin smiled, walked to the side, picked up a needle as thick as a chopstick, and examined it carefully with her fingertips.
"No, no, no..."
Qin Qi, lying on the bed, was so frightened that he almost lost his last breath. His already pale face turned even whiter, and his eyes twitched unusually sharply.
They desperately tried to retreat, to get up, to resist.
However, there was no way to help.
At this moment, he no longer saw Xie Lingqin's beauty. Her calm and serene smile, coupled with the gleaming silver needle in her hand, almost made him faint.
This is a demon.
A demon from hell.
A demon that instills fear in the heart and spreads to every part of the body.
Xie Lingqin stood by the bed with the needle in her hand, her voice unusually gentle, "Young Master Qin, I'm a bit heavy-handed, please be lenient."
"No, no, no..."
Qin Qi was seriously injured and his speech was slurred; he desperately refused.
"Master Dong, where should I insert the needle?" Xie Lingqin asked Master Dong again.
"Download wherever you want."
Upon hearing this, Xie Lingqin breathed a sigh of relief, "Elder Dong, you are not only highly respected, but also incredibly talented and vigorous in your old age. You are unprecedented and will never be surpassed."
Old Master Dong didn't even glance at her, continuing to sip his tea. However, amidst the swirling tea steam, a faint smile flickered across the corners of his finely lined lips.
