Reborn in the Eighties as a Housewife with a Space

Chapter 1353: Chapter 1347: Being Tricked_1 Chapter 1353: Chapter 1347: Being Tricked_1 “All right, let’s get started, Xuexue. Lend me your silver needles, I forgot to bring mine.” Nangong Beiying didn’t really forget to bring hers, she just figured that since Qin Xue ambushed her with the request, she might as well use Qin Xue’s needles.

“Fine, use mine, here you go.” Qin Xue knew Nangong Beiying was doing it on purpose, as a petty revenge for her unannounced plan, and she was fine with it.

Qin Xue handed Nangong Beiying the silver needles and then lit the alcohol lamp. The heat would be soothing for dealing with Ye Xiao’s rheumatic leg, making the treatment more effective.

“Nangong Beiying, what are you putting on there, what’s it for?” Ye Xuan asked curiously as he saw Nangong Beiying take out a packet of something and apply it onto the heated needle.

“Don’t interrupt me.” Nangong Beiying didn’t have time to explain medical procedures to someone who knows nothing about it.

“Everyone, be quiet. Wait till Yingying finishes the moxibustion and then we’ll answer your questions. Don’t worry, Yingying’s skills are superior to mine. She won’t mess it up,” Qin Xue assured them. She actually admired Nangong Beiying’s acumen, even though they’d been learning medicine together from their grandfather, Nangong Beiying always seemed to learn faster and better.

Now that Qin Xue had studied medical books in her space, she was theoretically better than Nangong Beiying. But she wanted Nangong Beiying to accompany her to the research institute, so she wouldn’t admit to being better than Nangong Beiying.

Upon hearing his wife’s words, Chu Molin merely smirked. How could he not know her game? After all, he’d spent some time in her space and understood how phenomenal the spiritual energy and knowledge in the books were. He wouldn’t believe that she has no ulterior motives.

Nangong Beiying coated the silver needles one by one with her medicinal powder, heated them until they glowed red, and then stuck them into the acupoints on Ye Xiao’s leg. At first, he didn’t feel too much, but gradually, he felt a biting sensation that turned into intense pain.

“Hold still, if you move and I make a mistake, don’t blame me,” Nangong Beiying warned. She knew the pain would continue to intensify, but it was necessary for the treatment to be effective.

“I can handle it, continue,” Ye Xiao gritted his teeth, sweat dripping down his face and soaking his clothes.

Among the onlookers, apart from Qin Xue and her four bodyguards, only Xue Ling seemed calm. Everyone else looked worried, even Chu Molin, although his concern was well-masked.

“I’ll pull the needles out in three minutes.” Nangong Beiying breathed a sigh of relief and wiped her sweat with a handkerchief. Needling was exhausting as it required total focus, any mistake could sabotage the entire process.

“Yingying, you’re improving so fast, you’re amazing,” Qin Xue was impressed by the speed and strength Nangong Beiying had shown while needling. Her hands were steady and forceful, it seemed that her practice with her master had paid off.

“Practice makes perfect, isn’t it obvious?” Nangong Beiying shot her a disdainful glance.

“Which is why our Yingying is the best.” Qin Xue wasn’t bothered by Nangong Beiying’s cold facade, she was not backing down.

“I’m my own person, you’re already spoken for.” Nangong Beiying wouldn’t let her off the hook that easily. Qin Xue tended to set her up like this, if she forgave her too easily, she’d only end up being duped again in the future.
