Chapter 228 - Prove It

Yin Yuyao was very worried about Madam Yin. There were tears in her eyes. After hearing Su Xiaolu’s words, she nodded with tears in her eyes and said, “I’m sorry. I was too anxious just now. Undo it. I won’t move.”

She’d been too worried, too scared, to think straight for a moment.

Now that she saw that her mother was fine, she calmed down and realized how dangerous her actions were.

Yin Yuyao looked at Madam Yin guiltily and said, “Mother, I’m sorry. I was too rash. It was Aunt Tang who told me that a quack doctor wanted to open up your stomach to take your child. She and Father couldn’t stop you. I was too afraid…”

She was so shocked that her mind went blank and she lost her composure.

Madam Yin looked worried. She sighed and said, “Yaoyao, how can I rest assured if you do this?”

Madam Tang had an evil heart. It was like a poisonous snake that was eyeing them covetously. It was good at stirring up trouble and could make Yin Yuyao lose her composure with just a few words. If she died, Yin Yuyao would not be their match at all.

Yin Yuyao pursed her lips. She already knew that she had done something wrong.

Madam Yin sighed. “If only Yan’er was still around.”

She had a son and a daughter. Her daughter wasn’t scheming. Her son had died of smallpox three years ago, and she had this strange illness. If she really couldn’t get through this and leave her only daughter behind, she couldn’t even imagine what would happen to her.

Yin Yuyao lowered her head guiltily.

Su Xiaolu unsealed Yin Yuyao’s acupoints. Yin Yuyao carefully walked into Madam Yin and squatted down beside her. She called out softly, “Mother.”

Madam Yin sighed. “Yaoyao, you have to remember what I told you. You have to remain calm at all times. Think carefully before you act. You have to think through the entire situation so that you won’t be deceived and bullied.”

Yin Yuyao nodded with tears in her eyes.

“Mother is fine here. You can go down first.”

Madam Yin gently stroked Yin Yuyao’s hair and said.

Yin Yuyao stood up and looked at Su Xiaolu. She bowed respectfully and said, “I was too rash just now. I’m sorry. Please save my mother.”

Yin Yuyao calmed down and knew that she had been influenced by Tang. The girl in front of her looked very young, but she was not ordinary.

Yin Yuyao stood up and left.

Madam Yin sighed and said gratefully to Su Xiaolu, “Miss Su, thank you for just now.”

Su Xiaolu smiled and said, “It’s okay. I’m a martial artist. I can handle this small change.”

It was almost time. Su Xiaolu asked, “Madam, does your back feel warm?”

Madam Yin paused. She had been distracted just now and had not noticed. After Su Xiaolu’s reminder, she felt a warm current on her back. It was very comfortable.

Mrs. Yin nodded. “I feel it. My back feels warm and comfortable.”

She calmed down and felt a warm current warm her back. The pain in her waist seemed to have decreased a lot. Madam Yin felt very magical.

This small moment was very enjoyable for her.

After a while, Su Xiaolu arrived behind Madam Yin. She reached out and pressed her hand on the acupuncture points on Madam Yin’s back. She asked, “Does this spot hurt?”

Madam Yin frowned and replied, “It does hurt a little. It might be much better if you don’t press it.”

Su Xiaolu’s fingers moved and she asked Madam Yin for several more locations.

They all had varying degrees of pain.

Su Xiaolu had collected Madam Yin’s needles. She said lightly, “Madam, Master and I will be disturbing you here for the next few days. I’ll give you a prescription later. Bring the medicine to me and I’ll make medicinal cuisine for you.”

Madam Yin nodded. “Okay, thank you.”

Madam Yin already firmly believed in Su Xiaolu and Old Wu’s identities as divine doctors. Everyone said that they could tell if a doctor was really capable by inserting needles and prescribing medicine.

It wasn’t a lie to feel it personally, so Madam Yin decided to believe Su Xiaolu and Old Wu.

After settling the master and disciple down, Madam Yin went to sleep.

Her belly was huge. She felt tired every day. She didn’t sleep well. She didn’t feel comfortable no matter what.

Today was different. This time, she slept comfortably.

Su Xiaolu and Old Wu had lunch at the Yin Residence. When the servants brought the herbs, Su Xiaolu began to make medicinal cuisine.

Yin Yuyao came over and saw that Su Xiaolu was brewing medicine. Yin Yuyao pursed her lips and went forward. “Miss Su, is there no other way besides cutting open my mother’s stomach?”

Su Xiaolu stirred the black medicinal cuisine with a spoon. She smiled at Yin Yuyao and said, “There’s no other way.”

After ten months of pregnancy, labor was natural. Under normal circumstances, the fetus would be soft and adjust itself.

In the case of an accident and difficult labor, between the mother and child, only one could live.

Choosing a child meant cutting open the woman’s stomach and taking out the child.

Choosing a mother meant cutting up a child’s body…

The ‘stone fetus’ in Madam Yin’s stomach could not be born, so she could only open her stomach to take the child.

This was the truth. Su Xiaolu would not lie to Yin Yuyao.

The medicinal cuisine had become a paste. Su Xiaolu brought it down to let it cool down.

Yin Yuyao was still worried. She wanted to say something, but she didn’t know what to say.

Su Xiaolu looked at Yin Yuyao and said, “Miss Yin, actually, it would be better if you talk to your mother.”

Yin Yuyao was worried. It was useless to tell her.

With her thoughts seen through, she sighed and turned to leave.

Without anyone disturbing her, Su Xiaolu washed her hands and prepared to start kneading the biscuits.

This was her training. Old Wu would be sleepy after eating and drinking. He would say, “Don’t look for me.”

Usually, Su Xiaolu would look for the old man, but at this moment, she understood that she had to do it herself, so she did everything herself.

She rubbed the medicinal cuisine into a meatball and placed it flat. When it dries a little, it will become a pancake.

The drug was potent, but the taste was still familiar. It was bitter and numbing.

She heard footsteps and looked over.

Madam Tang came into the courtyard with a smile. Looking at the calm Su Xiaolu, Madam Tang smiled even more gently. She said gently, “Little girl, what are you doing? Where’s your master?”

Su Xiaolu looked cold. “What do you want?”

Madam Tang took out a small bottle and handed it to Su Xiaolu. “Little girl, this is the ginseng powder I’ve kept for a long time. Take it and use it. It’s good for my sister’s health.”

Su Xiaolu took it and opened it to smell it.

The ginseng powder was real, but there was something else in it.

Su Xiaolu asked directly, “Did you poison this?”

Madam Tang looked stunned and quickly shook his head. “No, no, how could I have poisoned it?”

“It really wasn’t poisoned. Then why don’t you eat it and show me.”

Su Xiaolu took a pancake, poured some ginseng powder on it, and handed it to Madam Tang with a smile.

Madam Tang was a little dumbfounded. She didn’t know whether to take it or not.

Wasn’t this a child? Why was she so cautious!
