Lin Yuan returned to the bedroom.

Just waiting for Xiao Huan to close the door, she couldn't wait to vent the anger in her heart, "Did you see her face just now! She did it on purpose!"

Xiaohuan also felt that what Lin Yuan said was reasonable, and her tone was full of disdain, "The eldest lady has been practicing martial arts since she was a child, but she only has the skills of a three-legged cat. Now she said for no reason that she wanted to treat Young Master Xiao. With her ability , can it be cured well?"

"She just pretends to be nice and sensible in front of her mother-in-law!" Lin Yuan said, feeling a little uneasy in her heart, "She wants to compete with me for the position of head of the family!"

After so long, Qiao Nian finally revealed his true face!

When I was in the Marquis Mansion, I kept saying nice things and asked for nothing.

But as soon as he came to the Xiao family, he first robbed Xiao Heng, and now he wanted to compete with her for the position of the mistress of the Xiao family!

That bitch!

Lin Yuan was filled with anger, and her eye circles suddenly turned red.

Seeing her like this, Xiaohuan felt that her young lady was being bullied. She frowned, but she lowered her voice and asked, "Then, must the young lady promise to Master Qiu..."

"Shut up!" Lin Yuan stopped Xiaohuan and subconsciously glanced in the direction of the door.

Even though the door was closed and Xiaohuan deliberately lowered her voice, she was still afraid that outsiders would hear her.

Xiaohuan could only shut his mouth.

Lin Yuan's mood gradually calmed down. She stared at the corner of the table and said calmly, "I have other things to do first."

On the other side, after Qiao Nian got the support of Xiao's mother, she went to Dr. Liu, the Xiao family's doctor, to learn the basic techniques of acupuncture.

Doctor Liu taught very carefully, and Qiao Nian learned very carefully. In just two days, he learned the most basic quick thrusts and slow twists.

However, learning does not mean being proficient.

Doctor Liu asked the kitchen to prepare a large piece of pork for Qiao Nian every day, and asked Qiao Nian to practice acupuncture on the pork. When the silver needle can penetrate the pork without damaging the needle body, when will it be considered proficient.

Qiao Nian started practicing early every morning. A huge piece of pork was pricked full of holes by her at the end of the day, which was horrific.

Ji Yue once took a look at the piece of pork from a distance, and then asked Xiao He with a solemn face, "Young Master, do you really dare to let the Young Mistress pierce it?"

He was really afraid that his eldest son's legs would end up like that piece of pork!

Xiao He didn't care. He sat in front of the corridor, flipping through the military books in his hands. Occasionally he would raise his eyes to look at Qiao Nian's house. Through the half-open window, he saw the figure practicing seriously, and felt inexplicably sad. There will be a sense of stability.

He knew that that slender figure was working hard for him.

Therefore, it really doesn't matter to him what the outcome is.

This process alone is the greatest gift from God.

Unexpectedly, that evening, Qiao Nian suddenly exclaimed, "Success! I succeeded!"

Hearing the noise, Xiao He pushed the wheelchair out. Before he could go out, Qiao Nian rushed into the house first.

"Brother Xiao, I succeeded!" Qiao Nian's face was full of excitement. She spread out a dozen silver needles in front of Xiao He like treasures. Every word in her mouth was filled with joy, "Look, these silver needles are all Still good!”

There are more than a dozen silver needles, almost every one of them has been inserted hundreds of times since the beginning.

But after hundreds of times, every silver needle was not damaged at all, not even a little bit bent.

These silver needles used for acupuncture are so tiny. They have been inserted all day without any damage, which naturally proves that Qiao Nian is proficient.

Xiao He was infected by her joy, and there was a smile on his face. Even the originally cold voice became much warmer, "I know you can do it."

How could she fail if she practiced so seriously?

Qiao Nian's eyes fell on the dozen silver needles at this moment. The strong sense of accomplishment made her heart unable to calm down. As if she thought of something, she said happily, "I'll go find Dr. Liu!" After that, she He hurried out of the house again.

Naturally, she didn't see her shining in Xiao He's bright eyes.

Qiao Nian's learning achievements were naturally recognized by Dr. Liu.

Therefore, the study of acupuncture naturally moved to the next step: finding someone to try the acupuncture.

Xiao's mother came forward and hired a boy to try the needle at a high price of ten taels of silver a time.

Twelve taels was equivalent to a year's salary of the boys. Suddenly, there was an endless stream of applicants.

Xiao He's yard also became lively for the first time in a long time.

Xiao He didn't like the excitement, so he just stayed in the house and played chess with Ji Yue.

But unexpectedly, not long after, a scream resounded throughout the entire Xiao Mansion.

Xiao He thought something had happened and hurried out the door, only to see a boy limping and running out, as if he was afraid that he would be caught if he ran too slowly.

Seeing the other boys standing aside and waiting, their eyes widened and a little fear welled up in their hearts.

The one who had the courage asked, "Madam, did you just get it right?"

Qiao Nian compared the acupuncture points in the medical book and nodded, "Of course it's accurate."

As she said that, she glanced at the boys queuing up behind her and said, "Before I invited you here, I told you that this acupuncture is to treat your eldest young master's legs. Every injection needs to stimulate the leg." The pain at the acupuncture point is extraordinary. You have seen what happened just now. If you really can’t bear the pain, leave quickly!”

The medical book given by the palace doctor clearly stated that acupuncture would be very painful. Moreover, she was just testing the needles now. Each acupuncture point had different depths and different needle insertion strengths. Whether the acupuncture points could be stimulated correctly was still a matter of trial and error. It would surely be more painful.

It was precisely because of the pain that Xiao's mother offered a high price of "ten taels of silver for one test".

She had said all this before recruiting people, and she said it again now, because she didn't want them to be unable to bear the pain when she was acupuncturing them later, and suddenly jump up, causing her to break the silver needle in her hand.

The servants were a little panicked when they heard it.

But when they thought of the ten taels of silver, they endured it one by one.

They just thought that the one who had just escaped was a coward.

It was just acupuncture. Even if it hurt like hell, how painful could it be?

Could it be more painful than cutting off your hands and feet?

The facts told them that it could.

The stimulation of the needle on the acupuncture point was like a raging fire, burning directly into the skin and flesh.

But in just one hour, the long queue was empty.

Even the last servant was helped out by someone, crying, "It hurts so much, wuwuwu, it hurts so much..."

Watching the servant's back disappear at the gate, Qiao Nian couldn't help but feel a little discouraged. She turned around and looked at Xiao He, with her mouth drooping.

Seeing her like this, how could Xiao He bear it?

He immediately said, "Don't worry, let's go outside the mansion to recruit some people tomorrow."

As the saying goes, there must be brave men under a big reward.

Qiao Nian felt it was inappropriate, "I think it's better not to let everyone know about the treatment of Brother Xiao's leg disease."

Xiao He's leg was caused by poisoning.

Now that the person who poisoned has not been found, how can it be made public like this?

Xiao He understood Qiao Nian's concerns, and immediately frowned.

Ji Yue, who had witnessed all of this, stood aside and finally couldn't help but speak, "How about, I will give it a try! Don't worry, Madam, I can definitely bear it!"
