He suffered from this headache and had seen many doctors over the years, including countless imperial physicians and quack doctors. He had tried acupuncture and medicine, but nothing worked. Moreover, the doctors all seemed bitter and resentful, making him feel that his illness was incurable.
But seeing He Jiuniang's calm demeanor now, he suddenly felt that life was full of hope again.
From this perspective, her claim of having kidney deficiency doesn't seem so infuriating anymore.
The person most excited when he heard that He Jiu Niang wanted to have acupuncture was Doctor Song. He had been outside when he had given Miss Gao acupuncture before and hadn't been able to go in to watch. Now that this was such a good opportunity, he naturally couldn't let it pass.
So he very attentively prepared silver needles for He Jiu Niang.
He Jiuniang picked up the silver needles and kindly reminded, "Your illness is quite serious, and the needling technique used will be quite strong, so it may hurt a lot in a while. But you must bear it and not move, otherwise I cannot guarantee your safety."
Having needles inserted into the head is inherently dangerous. As soon as He Jiuniang opened her mouth, Doctor Song said to the guard standing by, "Go find something for your young master to bite on. Doctor He said it will hurt a lot, so it will definitely hurt a lot."
Lin Yiping felt slighted and snorted, saying, "No need, just come on!"
He Jiuniang couldn't help but roll her eyes, and without arguing with him, she started inserting needles.
The head was relatively hard, making it a bit more difficult to insert needles. He Jiuniang slowed down, but in Doctor Song's eyes, it was still so fast it was dazzling.
Lin Yiping's face under the mask was completely red. He clenched his teeth tightly, and the veins on his forehead bulged. Why did it hurt so much!
This woman definitely did it on purpose!
The guard could only watch anxiously from the side, and asked in a low voice, "Shall I go find a piece of cloth?"
He still really wanted it, but he had already said those harsh words, and it would be too embarrassing to ask for a piece of cloth to bite on now. So he said with difficulty, word by word, "No, I don't need it!"
Seeing his ridiculous appearance, He Jiuniang curled the corners of her mouth and quickened her pace.
Sweat rolled down Lin Yiping's forehead and into his eyes. The guard hurriedly stepped forward to wipe the sweat from his brow and couldn't help but say, "Be gentle!"
"A lighter touch won't be effective; I already said it would hurt a lot."
As soon as she finished speaking, He Jiuniang stopped, and only then did Doctor Song realize that she had finished her acupuncture.
Good heavens, he looked at it once and it was like he didn't see anything at all, he saw everything clearly!
The acupoints on the top of his head were densely packed, and he didn't know exactly which acupoint He Jiuniang had needled, nor did he know how deep the needles were inserted. He was just watching in vain.
"How long will this take?"
Lin Yiping took a deep breath, feeling a sore and throbbing headache that made him wish he could pull all the needles out of his head.
"Your condition is quite serious. It will take an hour and a half. Just wait patiently."
He Jiuniang clapped her hands, sat down at the table next to her, and began to prescribe a medicine to treat his kidney deficiency.
While writing, he also instructed: "Try not to stay up late, and it's best not to have sex during this period, otherwise all your efforts will be in vain..."
"Shut up!"
Lin Yiping suppressed his temper and said, "Why is this woman so gossipy?"
Just prescribe a prescription, stop with the endless rambling!
He Jiuniang shut up, said nothing, wrote down the prescription, handed it to the guard, and was about to leave.
The guard looked at the prescription and hurriedly asked, "How should this be taken?"
He Jiuniang glanced at Lin Yiping and pouted, "Your master told me not to say it."
Lin Yiping: ...
If he didn't think this woman was useful, he would never have come to put up with this kind of treatment!
Fortunately, He Jiuniang was still reasonable. She looked at Doctor Song and said, "Doctor Song knows this prescription. Ask him."
After saying that, she went straight out; she needed to check if her son had woken up.
As it turned out, the puppy hadn't woken up; it was sleeping soundly and was even drooling.
He Jiuniang wiped his drool with a motherly expression, then yawned and simply climbed into bed with him to sleep together.
Anyway, that person would have to get acupuncture for three hours, by which time it would be almost dark, so she couldn't treat herself badly.
Lin Yiping's condition was somewhat better; he only needed acupuncture for three days. When he returned home that evening, the guard asked him anxiously, "Master, are you feeling unwell?"
When he saw He Jiuniang administering acupuncture at the clinic, he wanted to stop her. The woman was like a madwoman, randomly inserting needles without even looking at the patient. He was terrified.
But since his master didn't say anything, he didn't dare to utter a sound, for fear of ruining his master's grand plan.
"No."
Not only did he not feel any discomfort, but he actually felt much more at ease. He exhaled a breath of stale air and exclaimed, "This woman is really something else."
He knew Doctor Song; he was a highly respected old imperial physician in the palace. He never expected that after leaving the palace, he would be working as an assistant to this woman. This showed that the woman's medical skills were definitely superior to Doctor Song's.
"Did you find out anything about this woman that I asked you to investigate?"
The guard nodded hurriedly and recounted what he had found: "This woman is just an ordinary peasant woman, bought by her current husband's family. Her husband is a镖师 (bodyguard/escort), and he hasn't returned for three years; he's probably dead out there. The family fled here from Changzhou and now runs a small business. She was abducted as a child, and we can't find out exactly where she was born. She was just sold many times. Her medical skills and martial arts must have come from when she was abducted."
So, his background is relatively clean.
Lin Yiping nodded, tapping his fingers lightly on the table: "It doesn't make sense that someone who has been abducted could have such superb medical skills."
The guard hurriedly said, "It is said that she learned to read by reading medical books, but she did not study medicine in a specific way. She just memorized all the knowledge in the books."
"There's another way to say it."
Lin Yiping still found it somewhat suspicious, but the woman's life story was indeed without any problems, and that was the crux of the matter.
"No matter who she is, she must be used by me, otherwise there will be endless trouble in the future."
As he spoke, a ruthless glint flashed in his eyes. Those who achieve great things must be ruthless.
The next few days were quite fulfilling for He Jiuniang. Every morning she would go to the Gao family to give acupuncture to Miss Gao, and then return to the clinic to give acupuncture to Lin Yiping.
In just a few days, Lin Yiping's headache symptoms were greatly relieved, and with the help of taking medicine, he also felt that his kidney deficiency symptoms had improved.
He Jiuniang had hoped that once she cured his illness, he would stop bothering her. However, aside from the time she spent getting acupuncture, she could run into him no matter where she went.
For example, on this day, He Jiuniang was planning to go with Song Chi to see the rooms they had chosen when, before they had gone a few steps, Lin Yiping shamelessly caught up with them.
"Are Dr. He and Dr. Song going shopping?"
He Jiu Niang rolled her eyes without any politeness, "You're the one who goes shopping? Your whole family goes shopping!"
