Chapter 189: 185 Asking the ancestor to treat Xia Yourong’s illness?

The lengths of the five Silver Needles decreased incrementally from the middle towards the ends. fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm

They looked quite playful.

There was dead silence at the scene, the ticking of the old grandfather clock ’tick-tock, tick-tock’ was clearly audible.

Xia Ye’s movements were too fast, and before the crowd could see what she was doing, the ’weapon’ was already inserted.

"Tiangao..." Xu He swallowed, telling herself that Little Tiangao was always right, and even if the old Mrs. Jiang really passed away, it had nothing to do with Little Tiangao’s Silver Needles!!!

Xia Ye slowly turned her head to look at them, revealing a smile of an expert: "In a moment..."

Qiao Yufen silently finished her thought: is she going to die soon?

Xia Ye paused for a second, "She’ll wake up."

After speaking, she rotated each Silver Needle.

With the tiny tips spiraling downward, everyone couldn’t help but wince in pain as if the needles were being inserted into their own fontanels.

No one around dared to make a sound, a minute went by, then two minutes...

As the minute hand of the large wall clock barely moved into the third minute, the old Mrs. Jiang with her ostentatious peacock-updo suddenly opened her eyes.

She was not a seductive spirit!

She was just too young to understand love!

Xu Qing: "Heavens, old Mrs. Jiang woke up!"

Qiao Yufen was so shocked it was as if her tongue had been scalded: "She really woke up???"

The family doctor: "Oh... my... gosh!"

Xu He’s heart leaped with joy: Thankfully, she didn’t have to dispose of the body!

In his surprise, Xia Yuzheng didn’t forget to quickly order the servants: "Hurry and bring some water! Quick!"

The old Mrs. Jiang still had that fire of resentment inside her, looking not as gentle as usual, and with those five needles on top of her head, she indeed resembled a proud peacock.

After a moment, her murky gaze swept over the entire room, and only then did she slowly come to her senses and started speaking with a somewhat hoarse voice: "Where am I? What happened to me just now..."

Xia Ye helped her sit up and lean against the headboard: "You just fainted; I heard it was due to someone upsetting you."

The old Mrs. Jiang, reminded by her, suddenly remembered and looked around but couldn’t find Qiao Yufen’s granddaughter, yet her gaze fell on Xia Ye’s face.

The young girl’s features were delicate and lovely, extremely pretty.

Such looks, whenever seen, would instantly brighten one’s mood incredibly.

Her stern expression visibly softened as she asked: "Young lady, who are you?"

She felt an itch on top of her head and reached out to press on it, but Xia Ye quickly caught her wrist to stop her: "You mustn’t press; I’m administering needles to you, not even a slight touch is permissible."

The old Mrs. Jiang looked at her with skepticism, seemingly in disbelief, but when she glanced aside, sure enough on the bedside table next to Xia Ye, there was a row of Silver Needles: "Could it be... you’re the one who woke me up?"

Xia Ye nodded calmly: "Keep the needles for another fifteen minutes, then they can be removed."

The old Mrs. Jiang, with eyes full of gratitude, held onto her hand and asked Qiao Yufen: "Where did you find such an adorable young healer?"

Xu He and Xia Yuzheng exchanged glances, a look of pride in their eyes.

Only Qiao Yufen, whom the old Mrs. Jiang just mentioned, wasn’t sure whether to be happy or what.

She forced a smile, uglier than crying: "She... is not some young healer... she is my... granddaughter..."

Mrs. Jiang’s expression paused, "Didn’t you tell me your granddaughter went abroad?"

Qiao Yufen was extremely embarrassed, "I..."

The reason why she had made such a claim was obvious.

Xia Yuzheng’s eyes, which had just been filled with smiles, suddenly sharpened, and he found his mother’s behavior utterly ridiculous.

Seeing that Mrs. Jiang seemed to be in an acceptable mood at the moment, Xu Qing respectfully stepped forward and apologized on behalf of Xia Yourong, "Mrs. Jiang, please don’t take today’s events to heart. Xiaorong has just been under too much study pressure lately, she’s been out of her mind. She didn’t mean to offend you..."

Mrs. Jiang, who found the incident rather tiresome, did not care to listen or pay attention to Xu Qing. Her mind was entirely on Xia Ye, "How old are you? I remember the Xia Family’s little princess is called... Yeye, right? Such a pleasant name, and she’s beautiful too."

At her age, fainting was a very dangerous matter.

One false step, and she might not see tomorrow’s sun.

Therefore, at this moment, she felt more gratitude toward the girl in front of her than annoyance at Xia Yourong.

Xia Ye nodded obediently in agreement, creating a surprisingly harmonious atmosphere.

Xu Qing stood by idly, unable to get a word in.

She had been worrying about how to ensure the old lady wouldn’t remain angry, but now it seemed that her anger had dissipated.

But... Xu Qing just couldn’t bring herself to feel happy about it!

Mrs. Jiang’s gaze was quite clear; she was very pleased with Xia Ye.

The original plan was for Xiaorong to develop some useful connections, but now, due to their cunning, Xia Ye had gained the advantage instead.

Now it would be even harder to drive Xia Ye out of the Xia Family.

And Xu Qing’s task upon returning to the country was to do just that. If she failed, she would be in big trouble!

The family doctor suddenly remembered that on his last visit to check on Mrs. Xia, he noticed that her health indicators had improved. Mrs. Xia had said, "It’s all thanks to my Little Tiangao."

At the time, he thought Mrs. Xia meant that her mood had lifted because her daughter had come back, improving her health, but now that he thought about it...

"Mrs. Xia," the family doctor said somewhat awkwardly, "may I ask if your improved health is also because Miss Xia gave you something...?"

Xu He smiled softly, "Yes, it’s because I took the medicine Little Tiangao made for me."

The family doctor had already guessed this answer, but hearing it with his own ears still left him stunned for a long moment.

Qiao Yufen’s gaze fell upon them, her expression filled with disbelief.

She had already found it hard to accept Xia Ye’s perfect score in Chinese, but now she had firsthand witnessed Xia Ye’s medical skills...

She approached Xia Ye and spoke quite naturally, "Yeye, since you’re so talented... why don’t you also take a look at your sister? She came home today acting like a lunatic, not even recognizing people."

Xia Ye looked at her with crossed legs, a meaningful smile playing on her lips.

Qiao Yufen felt uncomfortable under her gaze, and her mouth twitched involuntarily, upholding a sense of propriety, "Isn’t she your sister? Sisters should definitely help each other out..."

A sly light flashed in Xia Ye’s eyes as she suddenly stood up with her acupuncture bag in hand, "You’re right. Although she has done quite a few things to wrong me, I’ll take a look at her anyway."

Qiao Yufen was internally moved; had she been misunderstanding Xia Ye all along?

Mrs. Jiang was all praises, noting how Yeye had such an unpleasant sister and must have suffered a lot.

Yet the young lady held no grudges and could repay evil with kindness.

Such character was indeed hard to come by even with a lantern in hand.

Under the touchingly respectful gazes of everyone in the room, Xia Ye walked to the door, her back to them all, and silently pulled out a three-foot-long giant Silver Needle from her bag!!!
