Chapter 71: Acupuncture Medical Bath

Lin Jiashu hated it most when people considered him a sissy or like a girl.

He had always looked extremely skinny because of the disease, and he did have a pretty face, so people kept saying that he looked like a girl. That was why he was barely willing to walk out of Chuyun Pavilion.

Now Gu Chaoyan was saying that he looked like a girl!

Furious, he stripped off his clothes, hoping to see this hideous girl flus.h.i.+ng.

Seeing him without clothes, Gu Chaoyan did not even blink.

She took out the silver needles and started the acupuncture.

Lin Jiashu got so furious that redness covered his cheeks, but there was nothing else he could do about it.

He got increasingly annoyed about the idea of marrying this hideous girl. She was so annoying!

However, soon he had no time to think about any of these.

As silver needles were used on him one after another, Lin Jiashu tolerated the pain that came to him and had his teeth clenched, trying not to be mocked by this girl in front of him.

Gu Chaoyan threw him a casual glance. She said calmly, “If it hurts, you can say so.”

Lin Jiashu snorted, refusing to open his mouth for any sound.

So Gu Chaoyan left him the way he was.

Gu Chaoyan started to withdraw the silver needles carefully when another doctor carried in the medical bath. She pointed at the bucket and said, “Go and take a bath there. One hour will do.”

Having said these words, she ignored Lin Jiashu, and brought out the prescription from her arms. “This is the prescription, ask the staff in the kitchen to follow the steps. What he needs to do is to eat the medicine the next few days.”

Mrs. Lin took over the prescription and took a glance at the content.

There were dozens of medical materials blended, including forsythia, mint, hemp, red peony etc.

Mrs. Lin hesitated.

Her son got acupuncture and took the medical bath today, and now he had to eat the medicine including those materials... Doctors mentioned before that he had to be careful about what he ate. There was one time when Jiashu ate the wrong prescription and coughed blood for days without being able to take in any food.

“Does the medicine have to be made today?” Mrs. Lin asked.

“Yes.” Gu Chaoyan replied. She was not angry about Mrs. Lin’s suspicion and hesitation. Lin Jiashu had been sick for years, and the Lin Family must have hired numerous doctors whose treatments caused tons of results. It was reasonable that she was being discreet. She thought for a while and continued. “The acupuncture, medical bath and medicine go hand in hand. No effects will come out unless the medicine is taken alongside the treatment. You have come to this stage, do you want to give up everything you have done before?”

“....”

“You don’t have to suspect me for anything, Aunt. I said that I need something when it is done, yet I won’t raise an unreasonable proposal, don’t worry.” Gu Chaoyan reminded her.

That made Mrs. Lin slightly relieved.

Lin Jiashu, however, got so furious and pale in the face that he pa.s.sed out directly.

Mrs. Lin panicked.

“It is okay, he will wake up soon.” Gu Chaoyan said.

“I will get the medicine ready.” Mrs. Lin was worried about Lin Jiashu, who had just pa.s.sed out, but she also understood that the medicine was of great importance.

Mrs. Lin soon left.

Seeing her miss doing fine, Qing stepped forward and reminded her. “Miss, let’s go and eat some breakfast.”

Gu Chaoyan found herself getting hungry too, so she left for breakfast with Qing.

When Lin Jiashu woke up, he did not see Gu Chaoyan at all.

“Where is she?”

“She went to eat breakfast.” Shui Lan said and added. “Don’t worry, Young Master. I believe that Miss. Gu will surely cure you. She has a deal with the mansion, doesn’t she?”
