Su Li smiled and said, “Of course it’s a good thing. I’ll treat you to meat buns.” Sun Ming: “…” He swore that he didn’t ask this to freeload on meat buns.
“Here you go.” Su Li meant what she said. She went to the bun shop and bought a few meat buns for Sun Ming.
Sun Ming looked at the buns in his hand in a daze.
“Eat them, there’s no need to thank me!” Su Li said heroically.
Sun Ming:
Now, he has really become a freeloader!
Sun Ming kept the buns and drove the carriage to bring Su Li to an exquisite courtyard.
Su Li carefully sized up the surrounding environment. The environment here was beautiful. Not even a single fallen leaf could be found on the ground. It was said that the rich and powerful people in town would live in this area. It was the so-called “rich district!”
Sun Ming handed the carriage to the servant at the door and led her into the courtyard.
There was only one branch in the courtyard, and all the flowers, plants, and trees had been meticulously taken care of. Su Li only glanced at it indifferently before retracting her gaze.
Sun Ming noticed Su Li’s actions and couldn’t help but sigh in his heart. If it were anyone else, they would be looking around enthusiastically. He didn’t expect Su Li to be so calm.
“This must be the Ms. Su that Master mentioned, right?”
Su Li looked up and saw a beautiful woman standing at the door with a smile. She was wearing a long green dress, and her skin was as fair as snow. Her eyes were still clear, and there was a scholarly aura between her brows.
“Greetings, Madam.” Sun Ming bowed to Guan Xiyue.
Guan Xiyue said, “Get up!”
Su Li did not bow. She only nodded slightly at Guan Xiyue.
Guan Xiyue didn’t mind. She went forward and grabbed Su Li’s hand enthusiastically. “Come in quickly. Have you eaten?”
Su Li couldn’t get used to Guan Xiyue’s enthusiasm, but she still nodded and said, “Thank you for your concern, Mrs. Sun. I’ve already eaten!”
Guan Xiyue said to Su Li, “I’ve been waiting for you to come. You don’t know that I haven’t been eating or sleeping well these few days. I’m just afraid that something will happen to my master!”
Su Li could understand Guan Xiyue’s feelings and comforted her. “Mrs. Sun, don’t worry. Old Master Sun’s illness isn’t that serious.”
“That’s good, that’s good!” Guan Xiyue patted her chest. She felt much more at ease after hearing Su Li’s words.
Sun Yuangui was in the study dealing with some matters. Although he had an appointment with Su Li for the doctor’s appointment today, he could still settle the urgent matters before Su Li arrived.
“Master, Ms. Su is here.” Guan Xiyue pushed open the door of the study. Sun Yuangui put down the things in his hand and walked over from the desk.
“Are the silver needles ready?” Su Li asked.
Sun Yuangui said, “They are ready.”
How could he not prepare what Su Li wanted?
Wasn’t that taking his life as a joke!
The servants of the Sun Manor brought over the silver needles that they had prepared. Su Li opened them and took a look. The quality of this set of silver needles was not inferior to the ones she had in her previous life.
Su Li said, “Then let’s begin!”
Sun Yuangui swallowed nervously. “Is it going to hurt?”
Who knew that a seven-foot-tall man like him was afraid of needles, his legs would tremble every time he saw those thin and long things.
Su Li said calmly, “No!”
Not painful? It would be strange if it didn’t hurt..
Su Li asked the unrelated people to leave. She didn’t like to be disturbed during the acupuncture process.
“Can I stay?” Guan Xiyue wanted to stay and accompany Sun Yuangui.
“No!” Su Li rejected bluntly.
Some people would make a fuss when they saw something. She didn’t want them to affect her acupuncture treatment.
Guan Xiyue was a little disappointed. She hoped that she could accompany Sun Yuangui at this moment.
“Wait for me outside!” Sun Yuangui patted Guan Xiyue’s hand.
“Alright!” Guan Xiyue nodded.
She knew that there was nothing she could do even if she was worried. This time, she could only rely on the doctor.
Before leaving, Guan Xiyue held Su Li’s hand and said, “Ms. Su, sorry to trouble you.”
Su Li said seriously, “Mrs. Sun, don’t worry. I’ll definitely do my best.”
If she couldn’t cure him, her reputation would be ruined before it could rise.
After this treatment, Su Li was already extremely tired.
“Done!” Su Li pulled out the last silver needle.
Sun Yuangui, who was lying on the bed, did not react at all.
Su Li could not help but wonder if she had accidentally stabbed him to death just now because she had not treated someone for too long. Su Li raised her voice. “It’s over. You can get up now.”
Sun Yuangui still had no reaction at all.
Su Li was speechless.
She was already panicking inside!
She stretched out a finger and probed Sun Yuangui’s nose.
He was still breathing. Her medical skills had not deteriorated…
Su Li checked Sun Yuangui’s pulse. It turned out that Sun Yuangui had fainted from fear!
Su Li gave Sun Yuangui another needle, and Sun Yuangui slowly woke up.
“Is it over?” Sun Yuangui looked at the long needle in Su Li’s hand and asked. Su Li teased, “Yes, it’s already done, so you don’t have to faint anymore!”
Sun Yuangui:
He had lost all his pride!
However, after the acupuncture session, he felt much more energetic. Even his previous symptoms had disappeared. It seemed that Su Li was indeed capable.
Su Li got someone to bring a pen, ink, paper, and inkstone. She elegantly wrote a prescription on the paper. She handed the prescription to Sun Yuangui and gave him the Gynostemma that she had plucked from the mountain.
“Go and get the medicine according to my prescription. Treat the Gynostemma as tea leaves and drink it. It will be good for your body.”
“Take the medicine on time. I’ll come back for another checkup in seven days.”
If Sun Yuangui’s condition did not improve in seven days, she would have to continue with the acupuncture. However, according to her past experience, there would be no problem after one acupuncture session. Sun Yuangui said, “You want me to get the herbs myself?”
Su Li looked at him and asked, “Is there a problem?”
“I’ll pay you five taels of silver for the treatment, but you won’t provide me with medicine?” Sun Yuangui voiced his doubts.
Su Li spread her hands helplessly. “Of course it’s the consultation fee. Besides, I’ve already given you the prescription. Are you afraid that you won’t be able to buy it if you go straight to the pharmacy?”
Sun Yuangui: “…” That made sense, but it didn’t sound right.
“Don’t overwork yourself recently. You can’t eat animal organs…” Su Li reminded him of some things to take note of.
“We’ll definitely be careful.” Guan Xiyue was like an obedient family member of a patient. She asked Su Li a few more questions.
Su Li patiently answered them one by one, even though Guan Xiyue’s question had nothing to do with Sun Yuangui.
After sending Su Li off, Guan Xiyue looked like she wanted to say something but hesitated, as if she had something difficult to say.
Seeing that she didn’t speak, Su Li didn’t continue asking. She didn’t have the habit to probe into the matters of others.
“Master, do you think Ms. Su can cure my illness?” Guan Xiyue looked in the direction where Su Li had gone.
Sun Yuangui patted her hand and comforted her. “Isn’t she coming again in seven days? We’ll know when we ask her..”
