Chapter 258

She couldn’t bear to see him bullied and tossed around like an object. If he wanted to become a scholar, then let him be a scholar. If he wanted to be a warrior, then let him enter the battlefield. If he wanted to be a royal physician, then let him learn the art of healing.

She wouldn’t let her children be confined by these old-fashioned mindsets and these crappy traditions that oppressed others!

"In that case, please proceed," Yueqian smiled, feeling no worry about this decision.

The faces of the royal physicians changed slightly, but they still optimistically thought she was just putting on a show. No one truly believed she could treat the condition. They left Representative Ma lying there and Yueqian standing alone in the room.

They all went outside, showing that they didn’t care to know her treatment methods. Since she wanted to put on a show, they let her do as she pleased. They all filed out, even the royal physicians of the Bai Region.

"Fu-Furen Mu, this, this matter..." Wan Gui was a bit worried about the situation.

As a servant for many nobles, she knew what a deadly disease heart disease was. How many of her masters had died from it? No medicine could cure it. How could her furen take responsibility for this?

"Are you going to leave or help me here?" Yueqian suggested after seeing the other woman’s fearful expression.

Despite her fear, Wan Gui couldn’t leave and wait outside. How could she abandon her mistress?!

"How can you say that, Furen? How could I leave? I will help you to the best of my ability," Wan Gui could only pray that her mistress’s confidence would pay off.

Because even if she waited outside and her mistress failed, she, as a mere servant, wouldn’t escape punishment. Wouldn’t it better to stay and help in any way she could?

"Umm, alright then, go prepare some warm water for me," Yueqian waved her hand.

She deftly took out silver needles from the department store dimension. And yes! Her treatment method was acupuncture, stimulating blood circulation to prevent blockages in the heart, allowing the blood to flow smoothly. After that, she would administer a blood-thinning medicine, as the condition she diagnosed was caused by blood clotting in one spot on the heart.

Additionally, there were effects from the poison that disrupted normal blood circulation. The heart disease symptoms should have appeared later, but the poison he had ingested triggered the heart disease to become prominent earlier.

Therefore, to improve Representative Ma’s condition, she would also need to prepare detoxifying medicine for him. However, she wouldn’t do anything while he was still unconscious. Yueqian would wait for him to wake up after his heart condition improved.

Then, she would let him know that she could treat the poison in his body, making him aware that he had been poisoned for a long time. Otherwise, when he returned to the Hu Region without knowing about the poison, he would likely be poisoned again. Repeated exposure to the poison could have even more severe consequences for his body

The person who had plotted against Representative Ma needed to be exposed!

Amid Wan Gui’s fear, Yueqian used the shiny needles polished with modern technology. She sterilized them with high-quality alcohol. This entire process was beyond the servant’s understanding, but she supported it fully by wiping the sweat off Representative Ma as her mistress instructed.

Wan Gui’s job was to help wipe off the sweat and other excretions from Representative Ma’s body. The special acupuncture technique used to stimulate the body was a method of the divine doctor that Yueqian had spent time learning and mastering.

Of course, she didn’t know the modern medical methods as she hadn’t studied that field. However, her years of knowledge and training since childhood were sufficient to treat these conditions.

It took over half an hour, accompanied by aromatic water that helped people relax. The scent of various herbs wafted from her fragrance lamp. This herbal water also came from the department store dimension. While it didn’t significantly aid the treatment, it helped Yueqian focus better.

Moreover, it kept Representative Ma’s body from being overly stressed. With careful treatment and her professional skills, Yueqian eventually brought Representative Ma back to a bright and clear consciousness.

The middle-aged man blinked rapidly to adjust to the light. His body felt much lighter, unlike before when a heavy weight constantly pressed on his chest, making every movement uncomfortable.

When he opened his eyes, everyone else was gone. He saw only a beautiful woman moving before him. At first sight, he thought he might be in the afterlife surrounded by heavenly maidens. If it weren’t for the fact that he saw the belly of this beautiful woman that looked like an angel swelling due to pregnancy, he might have lost his senses and wished to remain forever in the arms of this angelic figure.

"Representative Ma, are you feeling better?" Yueqian called out, bringing him back to reality.

The middle-aged man felt a bit embarrassed for having such foolish thoughts. His face reddened slightly before he replied.

"I’m feeling better. Where is everyone else?" Representative Ma asked in surprise.

He didn’t sit up for fear of feeling dizzy. Usually, when he woke up from a heart attack, he needed someone to support him to avoid straining his body too much.

However, this time, only Furen Mu was in the room. So how could he ask her for help? Hence, he had no choice but to lie there and talk.

Yueqian didn’t assist him in getting up either. She simply put away her medical equipment while letting Representative Ma rest a bit longer.

"Everyone else had to wait outside. The method of treating this illness is supposed to be a secret, according to your assistant. So they all went outside, leaving me to treat you."

The beautiful woman replied to Representative Ma straightforwardly. Every word she said was true. Although Representative Ma’s assistant didn’t specifically mean that Yueqian’s treatment method had to be kept secret, he did imply that the medicine used for treating Representative Ma should be confidential. So, it wasn’t wrong for Yueqian to interpret it as she did.

"Hmm? Furen Mu, are you saying that you treated me?" Representative Ma was surprised. Analyzing her words carefully, did this mean she knew how to treat heart disease?

"Yes, I treated you. However, you still need to take medication continuously and follow the correct practices from now on to prevent any recurrence of the disease."

"Furen Mu, do you mean that if I follow your instructions, my heart disease won’t flare up again?"

"That’s correct. There won’t be any symptoms of the disease unless there’s a trigger. However, there’s one more thing I need your opinion on because it could be a trigger for your heart disease," Yueqian said, somewhat cryptically.

Her eyes lowered slightly as if unsure whether to speak. But having said this much, how could Representative Ma stop her from continuing? Her words had already piqued his curiosity about what she was concealing.

"What do you need my opinion on?" Representative Ma asked.

"It’s all related to your treatment, as I mentioned earlier. But I don’t know if I should say it. I... honestly, it’s because I’m unsure of your situation. If I say it, you might think I’m insane. But since you want to know, I will tell you directly."

"You have been poisoned. It is a poison that has caused your heart disease. Initially, your heart disease symptoms shouldn’t have appeared this early. You’re not as large as most people who get this disease."

"Moreover, you frequently engage in physical activities, so your body should be stronger than others. You are not that old either, so the risk factors from diet should only cause heart disease when you’re over 50 or 60 years old."

"But you developed heart disease before turning 40. If it’s not due to a family history of heart disease, there must be other factors triggering it."

"And after my examination, I found that it’s due to poison in your body. A poison you’ve been consuming frequently over the past 3-4 years, unknowingly ingesting it in small amounts."

"I’ve thought about it, and it couldn’t be someone far away who made you consume this poison frequently without your knowledge. Therefore, this is what I wanted to tell you. You might think I’m talking nonsense and saying things I don’t understand. The person who poisoned you must be someone very close to you and someone you trust deeply."

As Yueqian mentioned this, Representative Ma’s face turn red, initially because he heard Yueqian talking nonsense. She was accusing him of consuming poison every day. How could he have been ingesting poison daily over the past 3-4 years?

Even his wives couldn’t have made him take poison every day. Only his mother, as she grew older, insisted on cooking for him herself.

In Representative Ma’s mind, it was easy to connect the dots to the person who might have done this, as Furen Mu suggested. There was only one person who had behaved oddly in recent years. However, that person was his mother, who gave birth to him. How could his loving mother do such a thing? It was no wonder he felt furious at the words of the woman before him. She knew nothing but spouted nonsense to make people worry!

Yet, Representative Ma also knew that Yueqian wasn’t really talking nonsense. How could she know that he had been consuming something every day?

It was 3-4 years since his mother started acting strangely. However, the food his mother prepared had been tested, and no poison was found. How could it be her?!

Despite this, when he heard Yueqian’s words, which seemed to predict his thoughts before he spoke, and since he had allowed her to continue, how could he blame her? How could he be angry at her?

Furthermore, if she dared to say he was truly poisoned, didn’t that mean someone was secretly working against him? Therefore, now that he knew, he just needed to be more cautious. At least he saw some benefit in this situation.

"It is true that I am angry about what you said. This is because the person who has been cooking for me every day for the past 3-4 years is my mother. Naturally, her behavior has changed. Normally, she never cooked for me herself, but in these past 3-4 years, she has been doing so, claiming it was out of guilt," Representative Ma explained seriously, not wanting Yueqian to say more.
