Chapter 2661: Chapter 145: Acupuncture and Preparations
Upon seeing Li Luru, he said directly, "Such a nice girl, how did she get nabbed by you, little fox?"
"Uncle... Would you please give me some face for my wife? If you say such things and scare her off, I’ll end up living at your residence every day."
Mu Shaoling chuckled, "You brat!"
"Uncle, I’ve come today to ask you for a favor..."
As the conversation turned to business, Mu Shaoling didn’t laugh at him anymore, "Hmm, I’ve heard about this matter. Let your wife come over, let me have a look!"
Ye Haoxuan brought Li Luru forward, and Mu Shaoling examined her tongue and other details before saying, "Tomorrow you and your wife should come again. I need to prepare some things."
"Ah, many thanks, Uncle!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Haoxuan knew it could work, and he immediately expressed his gratitude joyfully, as did Li Luru.
When they returned to Prince An’s Mansion, Yang Chuxia and the others hadn’t had dinner yet. Seeing them come back, they quickly asked, "How did it go? What did your uncle say?"
"Uncle asked us to go again tomorrow. Judging by his expression, it should be alright."
"That’s great!"
Yang Chuxia clapped her hands, finally feeling relieved.
If it couldn’t be healed, that would be the real problem. Not passing the Emperor’s approval would be impossible, and throughout Great Zhou, there’s no Princess Consort who’s mute. If things don’t work out, Lele might not even get his application approved, and they could bestow him a Princess Consort. She remembers well how Baili Yan once had the idea of marrying his daughter to Lele.
Thinking back to when Brother An lost his fame because of leg issues, the laws have only slightly improved over the years.
The next day, the two returned to Mu Residence, where Mu Shaoling had prepared silver needles of various sizes.
Seeing this, Li Luru thought, that traveling doctor really predicted it right.
Approximately half an hour later, Mu Shaoling put away the silver needles and said, "Acupuncture once every two days, the meridian contraction is quite severe. Perhaps there are stimulants for the meridians in the initial medicine you took. Continue for a month, and with this pill, hold one in your mouth for about two hours each time. By the time your grand banquet is ready, you should be healed."
"That’s wonderful!" Ye Haoxuan quickly bowed to Mu Shaoling, "Thank you, Uncle."
After returning, Ye Haoxuan shared this news with Yang Chuxia, who was also happy for the couple.
"Mother, I still need to trouble you with something."
"Oh? What is it, tell me!"
Ye Haoxuan scratched his head, "It’s about holding the banquet in the Capital City. The Ministry of Rites will definitely go through the procedures again, and the wedding dispatch will have to be redone. Leru’s family is in Funan, so it can’t be sent from there. Can you speak with my aunt and let Leru’s wedding be dispatched from her house?"
Yang Chuxia chuckled.
"Mother, don’t laugh, can it be done?"
"It can be done, why not?" Yang Chuxia seeing him blush for a rare moment, stopped laughing, "I initially wanted to talk to you about this. But there’s no hurry, I’ve just asked someone to select a date; it can’t be before year-end, must be next year."
"I’ll trouble you then, Mother."
"Oh, you actually know to be polite to your mother." Yang Chuxia poked his forehead, "There’s also something else I’ve been meaning to tell you."
"What is it?"
Yang Chuxia said, "I notice your wife only brought along one maiden and two older women. It’s too few people to serve her. Although our family doesn’t like extravagance, appearances should still be decent, lest people talk behind our backs."
"Additionally, I think perhaps your wife’s family was too rushed because of your affairs and didn’t have time to prepare the dowry? I’m considering handling it altogether, but later you can just say you prepared it for her, don’t mention me, so as not to embarrass her."
