Chapter 62: What If Brother Tingyu’s Health Suffers?

“He’s fine.”

Jiang Wan spoke with confidence. In her previous life, she had saved countless people using both silver and gold needles. This minor issue with Lin Tingyu was something she could handle even with her eyes closed.

“You still have the nerve to say he’s fine?”

Doctor Quan was so angry that his white beard trembled. His deeply wrinkled hand pointed to the acupuncture point on Lin Tingyu’s chest.

“Inserting a needle at this point requires extreme caution, and you used such a large silver needle. One slip and it could damage internal organs.

Removing the needle from this spot also demands meticulous care. There’s no room for even the smallest mistake.”

He sighed as he spoke, clearly thinking that Jiang Wan was just a fearless young novice.

The young apprentice also shook his head. “Even my master doesn’t dare casually use that point. He only resorts to it when absolutely necessary.”

This statement clearly implied that Jiang Wan was in the wrong.

Standing to the side, Butler Lin and Hua Xiao frowned, and Hua Xiao even couldn’t help but take a step forward, only to be blocked by Song Jiuli.

“If you make a move and anything happens, it has nothing to do with my sister-in-law!”

Although she didn’t know whether what they were saying was true or false, siding with her sister-in-law felt like the right thing to do.

“But… what if Brother Tingyu ends up hurt?”

Hua Xiao nervously clenched her palms. This was the man she had taken a liking to at first sight after transmigrating—nothing must go wrong.

“I don’t do things I’m not confident in.”

Jiang Wan’s fair fingers had already removed several silver needles from Lin Tingyu’s body. Although Doctor Quan was angry, as a physician, he didn’t act rashly. He stood off to the side, ready to clean up any mess should one arise.

To his credit, his medical ethics were still solid.

The final needle was at the chest point. When Jiang Wan’s pale fingers grasped the silver needle, both Doctor Quan and the apprentice widened their eyes, not daring to even blink for fear of missing the crucial moment.

However, the expected mishap never occurred. Jiang Wan placed each silver needle neatly into her needle pouch and even casually pulled the blanket over Lin Tingyu.

Her red lips parted gently: “You should wake up now.”

As her words fell, Lin Tingyu slowly opened his dazed eyes. The next moment, his gaze locked precisely onto Jiang Wan.

“I… what happened?”

“You fainted! My sister-in-law saved you!” Song Jiuli eagerly jumped in to claim credit for Jiang Wan, afraid her efforts wouldn’t fully slap Hua Xiao in the face.

Sure enough, Hua Xiao’s expression was terrible. She looked pitifully at Lin Tingyu, biting her lip and saying nothing, appearing deeply aggrieved.

Doctor Quan and the apprentice, however, looked on in shock as Lin Tingyu’s complexion grew noticeably more vibrant. Doctor Quan even muttered to himself:

“No… impossible. How could this happen?”

Jiang Wan couldn’t be bothered with them. She tucked her needle pouch into her sleeve and calmly told Lin Tingyu:

“I’ve written two prescriptions for you—one for decoction and one for a medicinal bath. They’re with the butler.”

“Thank you, Lady Song.”

Lin Tingyu’s gentle eyes held a warm smile. She… had saved him again.

He was filled with emotions. There wasn’t much he could do, so he turned to Butler Lin and said, “Prepare a thank-you gift for Lady Song.”

He couldn’t let her help in vain. Besides, he knew that for those being exiled, what they needed most was simply money and food.

“Don’t worry, young master. I already had someone prepare it. Lady Song even asked someone to make you some white porridge.”

Butler Lin gave a slight bow. Upon hearing this, Lin Tingyu noticed his stomach was growling with hunger and quickly sat up with the help of a servant.

“No need for thanks. You’ve helped us too. We’re even now. I’ve got things to do, so I’ll take my leave.”

Jiang Wan didn’t accept the thank-you gift that Butler Lin had prepared. She didn’t want to delay their journey and immediately turned to leave.

“Wait, Lady Song.”

Doctor Quan suddenly stepped in front of her. “Earlier, my apprentice and I failed to recognize your skill and offended you. We sincerely apologize.”

He had stood there moments ago replaying Jiang Wan’s every move in his mind, and suddenly everything became clear—he realized he had been narrow-minded.

The apprentice also pouted and muttered, “Sorry, Lady Song.

My master always says there’s always someone better out there. This time, we were too shortsighted.”

Those few sentences nearly made Hua Xiao explode with rage. She had been hoping to see Jiang Wan humiliated, but instead, Jiang Wan ended up stealing the spotlight in front of Young Master Lin.

“It’s fine.”

Jiang Wan’s voice was calm. She never cared for the opinions of strangers. She turned and left Lin Tingyu’s room.

Doctor Quan followed closely behind. “Lady Song, if it’s convenient, could we discuss the technique for using that chest acupuncture point?”

The young apprentice also looked at her eagerly, clearly desperate for guidance.

Jiang Wan glanced at the group downstairs who were preparing to depart, then smiled at the two of them.

“I’ll leave you with four words: practice makes perfect. Also, I’m being exiled with the guards—are you two planning to follow along?”

She gestured at the people heading downstairs and gave them a smile.

Doctor Quan and the apprentice: !!!

The two of them stood frozen, eyes wide with disbelief as they watched Jiang Wan descend the stairs.

“She… she’s a criminal?”

The apprentice muttered, clearly startled. Doctor Quan patted his head.

“Silly child. Being exiled doesn’t necessarily mean someone’s bad. Perhaps she was just implicated by her family.”

“Master makes a good point.”

The apprentice nodded slightly, thoughtful, clearly trying to digest what had just happened.

When Jiang Wan and Song Jiuli came downstairs, Madam Song had already packed the luggage. Song Jiuchi and Song Jiuyuan were sitting nearby waiting for her.

“How did it go?”

Madam Song asked with concern, even Song Jiuyuan couldn’t help but look over.

Clearly, what had happened the night before with Lin Tingyu searching for her had left an impression, and he still cared somewhat about Lin Tingyu.

“It’s all fine now.”

Jiang Wan answered lightly, not mentioning the earlier unpleasantness. Instead, Song Jiuli couldn’t resist excitedly recounting the whole incident, her eyes sparkling as she looked at Jiang Wan at the end.

“Sister-in-law is amazing. When we left, that old doctor was still chasing after her to ask questions.”

“She really is impressive.”

Song Jiuyuan gave an honest evaluation. Just then, Jiang Wan caught sight of Hua Xiao on the second floor, who seemed to have just been kicked out.

She stood pitifully at the door. “Butler Lin, let me take care of Brother Tingyu.”

“Miss Hua, the young master said he doesn’t need you.”

Butler Lin replied stiffly and shut the door in her face without mercy, leaving Hua Xiao humiliated.

She suddenly looked down and saw Jiang Wan chatting and laughing with her family. Her fingertips dug hard into her palm.

“Sister-in-law, she seems to be looking at you,” Song Jiuli whispered to Jiang Wan.

Jiang Wan followed her gaze. Perhaps because their eyes met, Hua Xiao even gave her a smile.

That smile… definitely had a fake sweetness to it. Fortunately, Lin Tingyu was still recovering, so they wouldn’t be traveling together.

Sure enough, when Jiang Wan’s group set out, Lin Tingyu was still recuperating, and Hua Xiao deliberately stayed behind to wait for him.

Along the way, Song Jiuli softly talked about recent events. “Those men in black were so scary.

But because of their appearance, quite a few people tried to run away—only to get dragged back by the officers.”
