Free Web NovelChapter 206: Chapter 206: Who Says Sister Hong Isn’t Sick?
"#@¥%#*..."
’Ye Zhiqiu and Mi Hong were both inwardly cursing Jiang Xinghai for his devious plan!’
"You two are cursing me out in your heads, aren’t you?" Jiang Xinghai said, reading their expressions.
"I’ll take the first option!"
Ye Zhiqiu’s voice was sharp.
"If it were me, I’d choose the second option. You recover overnight. What’s not to like?" Jiang Xinghai said with a look of exasperation.
Ye Zhiqiu bit her red lip. "I want to know the locations for the acupuncture and massage in the first treatment plan."
"There are three main acupoints: the Guanyuan Acupoint, the Shenque Acupoint, and the Mingmen Acupoint," Jiang Xinghai rattled off effortlessly.
"Hold on."
Ye Zhiqiu took out her phone and opened the notes app. "Go on."
"The Guanyuan Acupoint is three inches below the navel. It promotes blood circulation to remove stasis and warms the body to dispel cold. The center of the navel is the Shenque Acupoint, which reinforces primordial qi and strengthens the foundation. And the Mingmen Acupoint, located on the spinous process of the second lumbar vertebra, also helps to warm the body and dispel cold," Jiang Xinghai explained.
Ye Zhiqiu nodded. "The locations are exactly as described in my research. Your memory is astonishing. You truly are a Divine Doctor."
"Were you testing me?" Jiang Xinghai was exasperated.
"My apologies. I just wanted to be sure," Ye Zhiqiu said with an awkward smile.
Mi Hong was also secretly impressed. ’Jiang Xinghai really knows his stuff!’
"You know the treatment plan and the exact locations now. So, are we doing this or not?" Jiang Xinghai asked, having finished his meal.
Ye Zhiqiu and Mi Hong exchanged a look, both breaking into knowing smiles.
"What’s with that look?" Jiang Xinghai was a little baffled.
’No matter how I look at it, that smile seems to be aimed at me.’
"Divine Doctor Jiang, an old traditional doctor said the same things you just did. And you know her," Mi Hong said, rising and gesturing for Jiang Xinghai to follow her to the living room.
Ye Zhiqiu rose at the same time as Jiang Xinghai. "She is Granny Nong Cuiru, matriarch of the He Family of Central State, a Medical and Martial Family. She was one of the ten great Saint Hands in the country."
"Ah, Nong Cuiru," Jiang Xinghai said with a calm smile.
"Of course, we know you competed against her in medical skill not long ago, and you won," Ye Zhiqiu added.
"And?" Jiang Xinghai met Ye Zhiqiu’s gaze.
Ye Zhiqiu narrowed her eyes. "That same night, the Central State’s He Family was wiped out, and Granny Nong died an unnatural death."
"Such a shame," Jiang Xinghai said.
"Let’s not talk about her. It has nothing to do with me. Besides, I’ve met a Divine Doctor whose skills are even better than hers," Ye Zhiqiu said, sitting down right next to Jiang Xinghai on the sofa.
Mi Hong brought over two cups of tea. "Granny Nong once said that even with acupuncture and massage, it would take at least six months for Zhiqiu’s condition to improve. As for a complete cure..."
She trailed off, her cheeks flushing as she glanced at Ye Zhiqiu. ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom
"She said that for a complete cure, one needs to find a virgin man for an ’injection’..."
Ye Zhiqiu looked at Jiang Xinghai. "Which is just another way of saying what you suggested, right? Finding a man brimming with yang energy to spend the night with?"
"And?" Jiang Xinghai smiled.
’Is she bringing this up in such a roundabout way just to verify if what I said was true?’
"She only gave me one treatment option, while you, Divine Doctor Jiang, gave me two." Ye Zhiqiu’s tone was heavy with implication. "So..."
"So, you don’t believe acupuncture and massage can cure your condition, and that’s why you’re telling me all this?" A corner of Jiang Xinghai’s mouth lifted into a smirk.
"That’s right. I don’t."
Ye Zhiqiu’s tone suddenly grew solemn. "Why is it that with the same treatment—acupuncture and massage—Nong Cuiru was only confident it would offer relief, while you, Divine Doctor Jiang, are confident you can provide a complete cure?"
"Nong Cuiru was merely a Ming Doctor. How can she possibly be compared to me?" Jiang Xinghai’s tone suddenly swelled with arrogance.
In traditional medicine, the ranks can be roughly divided: Practitioner, Ming Doctor, National Doctor, and Divine Doctor!
"You certainly have guts, Divine Doctor Jiang." Ye Zhiqiu wasn’t sure whether to believe him and fell into silent contemplation.
"How about this? To test Divine Doctor Jiang’s skills, I’m willing to try the acupuncture and massage," Mi Hong offered, noticing the shift in Jiang Xinghai’s expression. She was afraid he might get angry and just walk out.
"Sister Hong, you’re not sick. You don’t have to be a guinea pig for me," Ye Zhiqiu objected.
"Who says Sister Hong isn’t sick?"
Jiang Xinghai’s gaze locked onto the left side of Mi Hong’s chest. "Sister Hong has a cystic mass on her left side. My preliminary diagnosis would be a nodule."
"What?" Ye Zhiqiu gasped.
"Jiang Xinghai!"
Mi Hong cried out, flustered. "What are you talking about!"
’She knew she had a cyst on her left side. As for how Jiang Xinghai knew, he must have discovered it when they were in that Mercedes under the willow tree!’
’How could he bring this up in front of Ye Zhiqiu?!’
"Divine Doctor Jiang, how do you know that?" A murderous aura suddenly radiated from Ye Zhiqiu.
Mi Hong shot Jiang Xinghai a panicked look. ’Don’t you dare mention what happened between us!’
"Well, one side is bigger than the other. It’s obvious. Can’t you two tell?" Jiang Xinghai said with a sly grin.
Ye Zhiqiu leaned in for a closer look, while Mi Hong immediately glanced down at her own chest.
It was true!
The left was bigger than the right!
"Nonsense! Mine are different sizes too! Almost every woman’s are!" Ye Zhiqiu shot back, realizing what he was implying.
