She was just speaking casually, but Shangguan Bai smiled and said: "Miss is right, the Shangguan family does have its own medicine hall, so it's very convenient to take the medicine."
Chen Mu was stunned. "Don't tell me that the Harmony Hall is opened by your family?"
Shangguan Bai nodded, "That's right."
"All the medicine stores in this town are yours?"
"Not necessarily, there are a few small medicine stores that aren't." Shangguan Bai replied.
"As expected of the richest man in the world, his businesses are like spider webs all over the place." The confidentiality was also strong, she didn't even know that the Shangguan Family was involved in the Medicine Hall business. She thought the Shangguan Family only contracted the clothes and timber industry, and sure enough, she underestimated the strength of the Shangguan Family.
"He's just the richest man in Linzhou." There was modesty and regret in his eyes, as well as an undetectable ambition.
Upon seeing this, Chen Mu Mu Mu's heart stirred as an indescribable smile appeared on his lips. "Even though he's the richest in the country, his wealth is unstoppable. Sooner or later, he'll become the richest person in the country."
Shangguan Bai looked at her deeply. "Thank you for your auspicious words."
The next step was to soak in the medicinal bath, place the stripped Shangguan Bai into the tub, then place the medicinal herbs into the hot water according to the time and sequence. She then took out eighty-one golden needles and started drawing Shangguan Bai's blood.
After stripping himself in front of a woman, although Shangguan Bai felt a little uncomfortable, he didn't feel too bashful. However, Lu Jinfeng had a face of bewilderment: "Chen Mu Mu, how can you look at a man's body? Go outside first and wait for him to undress before coming in."
"Wait, I'm going to pierce his acupoints, do you want me to close my eyes?" Chen Mu Mu curled his lips. "I don't have that kind of ability. I can even find acupuncture points with my eyes closed." And I am a doctor, and he is a patient. In the eyes of a doctor, there are no men or women. "
Pausing, she raised her eyebrows and said with disdain, "I'm not shy about any woman. What are you guys being pretentious about? You guys wouldn't even lose a piece of flesh even if you were seen naked. It's not like the government will announce a man's chastity arch for you guys."
Shangguan Bai and Lu Jinfeng looked at each other, their faces twitching.
A man's chastity arch? Luckily, she was able to think of something.
However, Shangguan Bai was not shy to begin with, but after hearing Lu Jinfeng's words, he also felt that it was inappropriate and hesitant, "Miss Chen, if this gets out, I'm afraid it will affect your reputation."
Chen Mu Mu Mu replied without hesitation, "Rest assured, I will not use this as an excuse to make you take responsibility for the matter. I am not interested in the young master of a wealthy family like you. "It's not like the person being looked at is me. What do I have to ruin my reputation for?"
Lu Jinfeng had originally wanted to say that even if he could not get married out, he would still be his husband, he just needed to acknowledge her as a teacher. He did not hate her, but after hearing her indifferent words, he swallowed the words that were on his lips.
He had forgotten that she was not an ordinary woman and did not care about her reputation.
He sighed secretly in his heart as all sorts of feelings mixed together. Recalling the events that had occurred in the past, he couldn't help but sigh.
Shangguan Bai smirked: "Then this official has overthought things. Since the lady is not afraid, I should not be hypocritical." Pausing for a moment, he said, "Lady, please be at ease. Other than the people present, no one else would know of the matter of you treating me today."
"Your mother won't tell you?" I keep getting the feeling that this man has nothing to say to his mother.
"I wouldn't tell that person it was a girl." Shangguan Bai said.
In other words, he would still tell his mother about the development of her illness, but he just didn't tell the person who treated her.
This was a form of protection for her.
Chen Mu Mu's eyes narrowed slightly, "You sure are considerate."
Because of Lu Jinfeng's insistence, she had to wait for Shangguan Bai to enter the bathtub in the end before coming in.
Lu Jinfeng stood at the side and helped his put the herbs in order. The servant stayed at the door and did not allow anyone to enter.
The golden needles were easy to draw blood from, but it wasn't that simple. 108 acupoints, 409 acupoints, every acupoint was extremely important. The needle was drawing blood, and the slightest carelessness could cause chaos in the veins. If there were any major consequences, they would not be able to relax at all.
He busied himself for a full six hours until the water in the bath barrel had turned completely black. Only then did he manage to soak up all the water in the needle guiding medicine bath.
Chen Mu Mu Mu was already tired as he laid on the table. After Shangguan Bai had finished treating him, he removed most of the dampness and poison from his body, but his mental state was much better than before. Seeing that Chen Mu and Lu Jinfeng were exhausted, he said with guilt: "Thank you two for your hard work today, after I've finished preparing the banquet, you two can go back after eating and rest for the night."
"Don't be happy too early. Although the treatment was very successful and more than half of the poison gas in your body was expelled, freezing three feet in one day is not something that can be done in a day. Ten years of sickness cannot be cured overnight." Chen Mu Mu weakly splashed him with cold water, "You'll still have to soak in this medicinal bath for around two months."
This illness would not be cured very quickly. Shangguan Bai was already mentally prepared and wasn't surprised, but when he heard Chen Mu Mu's words, his handsome face flushed slightly.
"You still need me to guide you for another two months?"
In other words, he would be naked in front of her for two months?
Chen Mu could tell that he was going astray with just a glance. He sniggered, "Look at you, you are so conflicted. Don't worry, the Gold Needle Crossing Acupuncture Point can only be used once, otherwise your body wouldn't be able to take it. Every day for the next two months, they would take a medicinal bath. If there are no accidents, they should be able to be treated completely. "
Shangguan Bai's face was calm, but he could not suppress the joy in his eyes. "Lady Chen is truly a reincarnation of Hua Tuo, a wondrous hand doctor. Shangguan Bai thought that there would be no hope in this life, but fortunately Miss managed to cure him, his life will be Miss's from now on. If Miss has a wish, she will definitely go through fire and tread through water without hesitation."
"You don't need to put on a high hat for me. I know how many tricks I have up my sleeve. I will not allow you to do what Hua Tuo says, and you don't need to go through fire and water either. In the future, just work together with me to avoid harming me." Chen Mu covered his mouth and yawned. "I'll write down the prescription for the medicinal bath for you later. You'd better take it. You must take it according to the method I wrote."
Pausing for a moment, he said solemnly, "Shangguan Bai, I said I can cure you without any mishaps. You are a smart man, you should understand the meaning behind my words."
She was only responsible for treating and prescribing the medicine. As for whether the patient took the medicine on time or if someone tampered with the medicine, that was not her responsibility. The Shangguan Family was in the throes of trouble, and only the insiders could solve it. If he could not defend against it, he deserved to be short of life.
Shangguan Bai's eyes narrowed, "I understand, thank you for the lady's reminder."
Talking to smart people was easy, it was easy. Seeing that he understood, Chen Mu Mu Mu didn't say anything further. He raised his head and looked at the sky before saying, "It's getting dark, I have to hurry back. I won't bother you with dinner. If there's anything you need to say, we can talk about it next time."
"Sure." Shangguan Bai nodded, seeing that she was about to leave. A strange look flashed across his eyes, "Miss Chen cured the Shangguan family's eldest young master's illness and didn't ask for a favor?"
He wasn't talking about Shangguan Bai, but the first young master of the Shangguan family.
Chen Mu Mu smiled faintly, "For the time being, there's nothing much I can ask of you. For the time being, I have nothing to request of you."
While saying that, he stretched his back and said to Lu Jinfeng, "It's already late, don't make mother worry, let's go back first."
Shangguan Bai was still in a daze, Chen Mu Mu and Lu Jinfeng had already left. He looked at the two leaving figures with a thoughtful expression.
"Young Master?" The boy called to him.
"Yes." After a long while, Shangguan Bai came back to his senses, waving at the servant. "Are the people outside ready?"
"It is ready, wait for young master's order anytime." The attendant said respectfully.
"That's great. It's about time to give some people a warning." Shangguan Bai smiled faintly, he still looked like a direct descendant, but his brows were covered in a cold aura, he looked exactly like Chen Mu and the others, "It's time for us to leave as well."
Back in Xingyu Village, it was dark again.
Chen Mu could not help but voice his thoughts, "We are already at sunset and have to work so hard every day."
Lu Jinfeng looked at her indifferently, admitting or denying anything.
Other people's words referred to farming. It was different from what she said, but she didn't seem to be without reason.
They did go out in the morning and go back in the dark.
He was used to her being so crooked.
The night wind blew gently across her face. In the twilight, it was as if she was wearing a layer of warm clothing. Just by looking at her, she felt a sort of warmth.
He suddenly had a feeling that both husband and wife came from the same family. Although they were young, they had the illusion that they were old and decrepit … He felt that it would be good to reach the end of his life just like that.
With her here, he shouldn't be lonely anymore.
"Why are you looking at me like this? Your eyes are strange, causing my hair to stand on end." Chen Mu Mu Mu couldn't help but look into his eyes. The depths of the youth's gaze was so unfathomable that it caused her heart to palpitate, breaking the silence.
"... I just think you've grown a lot these days. " Lu Jinfeng cast aside his gaze, and said with an unnatural tone of voice.
"I will definitely grow taller. After all, I am only twelve years old. If I don't grow a new body, it would be called having a baby." The youth was in the midst of his rebellion. For a moment, Chen Mu Mu Mu Mu couldn't understand his thoughts, so she decided to follow his instructions.
"Yeah, you're only twelve." Lu Jinfeng read the words, and then laughed bitterly: "But sometimes I feel that you are smarter and more sensible than me, and have a better understanding of the human world than me."
Of course, her original body was twice his age. If she still didn't have as much sense as him, then wouldn't she have to go back to living more and more?
Chen Mu chuckled, ignoring his words. However, Lu Jinfeng seemed to have opened his mouth as he asked: "Chen Mu Mu Mu, you are such a rich person, and you just treated the young master of the Shangguan family, why did you not get any benefits?"
"Letting go of a long line of large fish and treating Shangguan Bai is the greatest benefit to me." Shangguan Bai still owed her a favor when he was alive. She would have a backer when she did business in the future, this backer was stronger than anything.
There were some benefits that could be seen with one's eyes. There were some benefits that one would only be able to sense after stealthily changing in the future. Since she was not a saint, she naturally did not plan on doing nothing.
scoffed, "Your calculations are really worth it."
"If I can move it, if I want to move it, why not? I am not someone who would be hypocritical." Chen Mu Mu Mu shrugged his shoulders and smiled mysteriously as he turned his head, "Moreover, doctors are only responsible for treating illnesses and diseases. If a patient doesn't take the prescription, it's normal for something to happen."
It wasn't that she was cursing Shangguan Bai, but that this was the way things usually developed. She had to leave a way out for herself.
