An Yiqing sat on the soft carpet with the two children in her arms, gently lifted their eyelids, and gave them a careful look. Then, she pulled out the Silver Needle from her brocade pouch and inserted it into several major acupuncture points on top of their heads.
After a short while, the twitching bodies of the two Little Buns gradually stabilized.
Yu Tianyou and Liu Ruohua were very excited; for them, any slight improvement in the children was a good sign.
"I already have a treatment plan. Today, I’ll suppress the toxins in their bodies; in the next few days, their condition will ease a lot. Let me prepare, and I’ll start the detoxification in three days. Sister-in-law, I’ll prescribe some blood-nourishing herbs for you later so you can feel a little better during the detox," An Yiqing said while administering acupuncture. The Silver Needles moved swiftly and accurately, not missing a beat despite multitasking.
"Alright, we’ll do whatever Sister says!" Yu Tianyou and Liu Ruohua, watching the children’s complexions gradually recovering, were ecstatic. At this point, even if An Yiqing asked them to dissipate all their wealth, they wouldn’t utter a word of refusal.
When the acupuncture session finally concluded, over forty minutes had passed. The Little Buns’ bodies had completely relaxed, and their soft, glutinous voices said they didn’t hurt anymore. Yu Tianyou and Liu Ruohua were delighted, practically regarding An Yiqing as a savior.
"Xiao Fang, Xiao Yuan, do you feel comfortable now?" An Yiqing put away the Silver Needles and let Vital Energy slowly circulate in the Little Buns’ bodies.
"Aunt Qingqing, Yuan Yuan feels so comfortable, not in pain at all. Yuan Yuan wants to go out to play!~" The more lively Yu Aiyuan wiggled his little arms and legs excitedly and hugged An Yiqing.
The girl affectionately tapped little Xiao Yuan’s nose and giggled, "Aunt Qingqing can take you out to play, but you must wear something warm. Is that okay?"
The Little Buns nodded their heads eagerly in agreement, afraid that if they delayed An Yiqing might change her mind. Watching the children heed An Yiqing’s words more than their own parents, Yu Tianyou and Liu Ruohua felt both happy and helpless. Meanwhile, Gu Yelin and Xiao Hei were quite irritated, looking at the girl surrounded by everyone.
Tutu is mine, and I definitely won’t have kids in the future! Master Gu thought to himself.
Woof!~ Since Master can’t play with Xiao Hei, I’m unhappy!~ Xiao Hei thought to himself.
One man and one dog stared at each other on the sofa, filled with grievance.
In the following days, An Yiqing went to school during the day and spent the rest of her time clinging to Xiao Fang and Xiao Yuan, even placing Gu Yelin in second place. This only deepened the man’s resentment, so every night he went out of his way to tire An Yiqing out.
Three days later, the day to detoxify the Little Buns arrived.
Yu Tianyou and Liu Ruohua woke up early in anticipation and waited in the living room. As An Yiqing came downstairs, she saw the couple looking extremely nervous.
"Brother Yu, sister-in-law, don’t worry. Although the detoxification process can be a bit frightening, I assure you, there is absolutely no danger to their lives," An Yiqing said with a smile, gently comforting the parents.
"Of course, I trust Sister’s Medical Arts. It’s just that hearing Ruohua will need to draw blood scares me. Don’t laugh at me, Sister Qing; in this life, Brother Yu doesn’t have any great ambitions. I just hope my wife and children are safe and that our family lives in harmony—that’s enough for me," Yu Tianyou said with a simple smile, reaching over and holding Liu Ruohua’s hand.
An Yiqing admired Yu Tianyou for being such a good man. She looked at him appreciatively and nodded, "Brother Yu is genuinely dedicated, and your sister-in-law is very fortunate."
