First Assistant's Petite Wife Has Space

117 Needle Stabs

The crowd received this information from the four children. Everyone turned to look at Zhou Xiaotao and some people rudely chuckled.

Aunt Guihua laughed the loudest. She pointed her finger directly at Zhou Xiaotao and said to Lady Ruan, “Old woman, I always knew you were evil, I never knew you were also blind. If you want to shove your son a concubine, you should find someone pretty. You found such an ugly girl for him to use as a maid or what? This kind of woman is worthy enough to be a concubine? What a joke.”

A lot of people laughed at Aunt Guihua’s words. Zhou Xiaotao glanced at the crowd in terror as she listened to everyone’s mocking laughter. Finally, she had a mental breakdown as she started to yell at Lady Ruan, “This is all your fault! I told you I want to go home but you forced me to stay to seduce my cousin! You’re the reason I’m being laughed at!

Ahhhh, you’re all bullies! I’m not staying here, I want to go home! I want to go home!”

This time, Zhou Xiaotao cried out loud as she ran away, ignoring Lady Ruan. Lady Ruan wanted to scream at her but Zhou Xiaotao was running like she had gone crazy.

Behind her, Lady Ruan’s expression grew bitter. The crowd wasn’t going to let her off this easily.

Someone said, “Fourth grandma, why are you trying to find Yunjin another wife?”

“Yunjin’s family is already having a difficult time and Yunjin’s wife is the only person supporting the whole family. Why are you trying to get him another wife? Are you planning on giving them money so they can support another woman?”

Lady Ruan’s face could not get any darker. Lu Jiao grinned ear to ear, “Mother, how much money are you planning on giving us on a monthly basis?”

Lady Ruan’s face twisted and she turned to leave. Just then, a horse carriage dashed down the street. Looking at the horse carriage, Lady Ruan managed to pass out from shock.

Chen Liu held onto Lady Ruan and shouted, “Third sister-in-law, mom passed out. Come and help!”

Lu Jiao calmly walked up to Lady Ruan. She wasn’t faking it, she passed out from anger and shock.

Lu Jiao took out some silver needles and stabbed them into Lady Ruan. Most of the stabbing points were trigger points for pain.

The pain woke Lady Ruan up. She yelled, “Ah, it hurts!”

Everyone around them cheered for Lu Jiao, “Yunjin’s wife is amazing. She woke up Lady Ruan so quickly!”

“Yeah, one needle in and she woke up. This is an incredible skill.”

Lady Ruan and Chen Liu looked at the needles on Lady Ruan’s body. Was that one stab? There were 20 to 30 needles on Lady Ruan’s body right now.

She was sure Lu Jiao did it on purpose.

By now, Lady Ruan realized that she’d been stabbed by needles. Her face squished together due to the pain and she gritted her teeth.

“Lu Jiao, you b!tch. You did all this on purpose!”

Lu Jiao didn’t remove her needle right away since someone got off the horse carriage in a rush. Lu Jiao looked and found out it was Qi Lei from Baohe Tang.

Qi Lei wanted to call Lu Jiao right away, “Mas-”

Lu Jiao glared at him and he swallowed the word “master” down.

“Lady Lu, we received a very sick patient. I’m wondering if you can help diagnose him?”

Lu Jiao removed the silver needles from Lady Ruan. By now, Lady Ruan was sweating from the pain.

She angrily pointed at Lu Jiao’s face and cursed loudly, “Lu Jiao, speak, are you doing this on purpose?!”

Then, without giving Lu Jiao a chance to speak, she howled, “Everyone, come and see this! My daughter-in-law stabbed me with needles! What a ruthless woman! Why hasn’t she been struck by lightning?!”

The crowd looked at her in disdain. Some people couldn’t help but to comment, “Fourth aunt, stop faking this. We all saw what happened. You passed out and Yunjin’s wife woke you up with acupuncture.”

“Fourth grandma, Yunjin’s wife saved you, yet you are accusing her? You’re being very unappreciative.”

Lady Ruan’s eyes almost went dark again. She wanted to ruin Lu Jiao’s reputation, not her own. How come she was the one getting lectured today over everything?

Chen Liu realized now that they weren’t going to gain anything out of this today. She pulled on her mother-in-law’s sleeve, “Mom, you are not feeling well today. Let’s go back and lie down.”

Lady Ruan didn’t want to give up like this but Lu Jiao was no longer paying attention to her. She went to Qi Lei and asked, “What’s the problem?”

“There’s a patient who came in dizzy with a headache. He then puked and passed out. I checked him out and I think there’s trauma to the head. I don’t know how to help him?”

Lu Jiao pretty much had an idea of what happened based on that description. She walked towards the horse carriage.

However, once she got there, two people got out of the horse carriage. One of them was an older woman – Xie Yunjin’s master’s wife.

When Lady Chen saw Lu Jiao, she was also shocked. Very quickly, however, she grabbed Lu Jiao’s hands, “I heard from Dr. Qi that there’s a very capable doctor around. Are you that doctor?”

Lu Jiao nodded and asked, “Lady Chen, then the patient is…”

Lady Chen started to cry, “It’s Master Chen.”

“Master Chen?”

Lu Jiao didn’t expect the patient to be Xie Yunjin’s teacher. She took this even more seriously now as she walked to the carriage and peeked inside.

Lu Jiao saw Master Chen passed out inside. She ordered people to carry him out.

“Help him lie down in my house. I will do an examination.”

The young man inside the carriage carried Master Chen off the carriage and walked into Lu Jiao’s home.

The villagers started to gossip, “Are they here to seek medical advice from Yunjin’s wife?”

“Baohe Tang’s doctor is asking Yunjin’s wife for help. Does that mean Yunjin’s wife is a better doctor than him?”

“Of course, Yunjin’s wife brought someone back from life. Xia Lian was dead when she jumped into the river yet Yunjin’s wife revived her.”

“Yes, yes, Yunjin’s wife is a miracle worker.”

Lu Jiao was too nervous to look any of these villagers in the eye. It was her priority to save Master Chen and she was too lazy to explain herself.

Lu Jiao asked Lady Chen, “Was Master Chen suffering from headaches, dizziness, and nausea?”

Lady Chen nodded.

Lu Jiao asked another question, “Did his limbs go numb?”

Lady Chen thought about it, “No. But sometimes, he would have a shortness of breath and chest pain.”

Lu Jiao nodded. Her initial thought was that Master Chen suffered from a cerebral infarction caused by hypertension.

Just as Lu Jiao pondered over a treatment plan, Lady Chen started to cry, “Yunjin’s wife, will he be okay?”

The older you got, the more important your partner became. Lady Chen didn’t want anything bad to happen to her husband.
