“Sister-in-law, you can definitely save my father. Please, help us!’
Qiao Xuan was very surprised. “Did it work out well?”
“Yes, yes, it worked very well!” Yuezheng Xiao nodded constantly. “Please, Sister-in-law, can you come with me to Southern Garden, please?
Qiao Xuan fell into contemplation.
Yuezheng Xiao coaxed her. “Southern Garden is closeby. I promise to drive you back to the hotel before the gate closes!”
Yuezheng Xiao would not have urged her so much if it had not been for his father’s health. He seemed to be a little bit disrespectful when he was pushing her in this way.
But Qiao Xuan could understand his mood.
If he were to remain calm when it came to his father, then such a man would be deemed as cold-blooded.
“Okay, we will come with you. But… I am not sure if I can be of any help!”
Yuezheng Xiao did not care, and said with a smile, “Of course, Sister-in-law, you can check him first. We won’t force you to do anything!’
They went to Southern Garden and met the First Madame.
First Madame sized up Qiao Xuan and could not help but develop a good feeling towards this woman.
She looked graceful, open and made people feel comfortable.
“It was you who helped us yesterday, and I should have met you personally yesterday, I am sorry.”
Qiao Xuan smiled. “That is fine, First Madame. You are busy and you didn’t have time for polite pleasantries. You treated us well though. Also, First
Madame, you needed to rest well too!”
“Thank you for your understanding.” First Madame smiled briefly, and lowered her head. Her nerves remained tensed up all the time, but there was nothing she could do about it.
Yuezheng Xiao cleared his throat and said with a smile, “Sister-in-law, please don’t be so restrained. You can address my mother as Aunt, and if you don’t mind, my mother can call you Niece.”
First Madame and Qiao Xuan laughed. She did not refuse and greeted First Madame by addressing her as Aunt.
First Madame asked them for their names and called them by their names. She even gave Taotao and Qiao Xuan a pair of ruby-embodied golden hairpins as greeting presents.
They exchanged a few words and then talked about what happened the day before.
First Madame realized that Doctor Tang had guessed it right. Qiao Xuan had helped her husband!
She could not help but exclaim with excitement. “Xuan, could you please…
please help him again? He has been lying in bed for so many years, and I am afraid…
First Madame started to sob.
Yuezheng Xiao turned to her and consoled her. “Don’t be sad, Mom. He is getting better, right? His health will surely improve!”
He and his elder brother had never stopped hiring the best doctors around.
Qiao Xuan consoled First Madame and replied soothingly. “I will give it a try. Let’s see if that works.”
First Madame was so grateful already that Qiao Xuan had decided to help them.
Qiao Xuan had no idea how to do acupuncture or massage. She could not even recognize any spots.
She came to help without bringing any needles along as well, claiming that they had come in a hurry. But they had needles ready at the abbey, which could be used.
As she put the needles on the calf, these caused no feelings except for pain. After putting on the show for a while, Qiao Xuan said, “Maybe if Uncle is in a coma, he would be totally relaxed, and the treatment would work better…”
