Chapter 120: Medicinal Bath, Fighting Poison with Poison
In the brothel, Mr. Qian felt something was wrong. What was Tang Huiyun doing? What did she want to do by inviting those two people to the house? But he didn't dare to confront her, for fear that she would be unhappy and go to his father-in-law to complain. His life was really aggrieved. He grabbed the cup at hand, poured a glass of wine, and vented his anger on Hua Niang beside him. Hua Niang's voice begging for mercy made him extremely satisfied.
At the Qian Mansion, Yao Qingnian added all the medicinal herbs he brought into the bathtub, making a medicinal bath.
"Master, what did you add? If I'm not mistaken, there are scorpions?! Leeches?"
This is not detoxification, this is poisoning!
"You read that right. This is called fighting poison with poison. Wait for the poison to absorb the poisonous blood, and then use acupuncture to expel some of the poison from her body. This is a gradual process."
Han Junze watched carefully from the side. He had heard of fighting poison with poison, but they were all medicines. He had never seen these living things being used to detoxify. If the poison was not detoxified before people were scared to death.
"Miss Tang, it's ready, you can go in!" After preparing the medicinal materials, Yao Qingnian asked Tang Huiyun to go in and soak for half an hour before getting up.
"Yeah!" Tang Huiyun took off her clothes and got into the bathtub.
"This process is not something that ordinary people can endure. If you really can't hold on, you can tell me and we can shorten the time and take it slowly."
Tang Huiyun closed her eyes and said nothing more.
A quarter of an hour later, Tang Huiyun's expression began to become painful. She clenched her teeth, trying hard not to make any sound, and black gas came out of her head.
Thinking of the pain she had suffered over the years due to the black spot and the humiliation of marrying Mr. Qian, she suddenly felt the pain in her body eased a lot.
Since her mother left, Aunt Tu was made the legal wife and gave birth to a younger sister.
Aunt Tu had never treated her badly over the years. When her father asked her to marry Mr. Qian, she had even opposed it. Would such a woman be the one to harm her? But...it seemed that the dark spots on her face had only appeared when Aunt Tu became her mother.
Originally, he had a good marriage plan, but because of the black spot on his face, he got married to his younger sister. Their marriage was scheduled for the end of the year, and now everything seemed to make sense.
If they really did all this, then sooner or later she would take back everything that belonged to her!
Just when Tang Huiyun was about to give up, the tub bath finally ended. This short half hour seemed like a long day to her.
Her forehead was covered with dense beads of sweat, as if she had been baptized by heavy rain, and the blue veins on her head were bulging due to excessive exertion, like a winding earthworm. The water in the bucket had turned black.
Next is acupuncture, which is a bit stressful and requires concentration, and no mistakes can be made.
Han Junze was a man, and although the lady-in-waiting did not distinguish between men and women, this was ancient times, so he had better be careful. He knew acupuncture anyway, so there was nothing to see. So Yao Qingnian asked him to step aside and wait at the door.
After taking the medicinal bath, Tang Huiyun felt that the acupuncture didn't hurt at all, and began to chat with Yao Qingnian: "Miss Yao, if your relatives want to harm you, what will you do?"
"From the moment you hurt me, you are no longer my relative. I am a difficult person to get along with and I cannot tolerate any grain of sand in my eyes."
Yao Qingnian told the truth.
"I really like Miss Yao's personality. I wish I could be as free and easy as you. Unlike me, in order not to worry my parents, I married a man I didn't like and lived a life worse than death every day."
“Life is short, why live it for others instead of yourself?”
Yao Qingnian finally understood. Tang Huiyun didn't want to marry Mr. Qian because she was forced by her family. No wonder the two of them seemed to be incompatible. Who would want to marry a bastard like that?
Tang Huiyun treated Yao Qingnian as a friend and told her all the hardships she had experienced over the years. After she finished, she felt much more relaxed. For so many years, she had no friends and had never talked about her true thoughts with anyone: "Thank you, Miss Yao, I don't know why, but I feel so trusting of you. Once I start talking about it, I can't stop."
"Nothing!" Yao Qingnian continued to give her acupuncture with full concentration.
After about an hour, the acupuncture was completed. Yao Qingnian was a little exhausted, so she packed up her things, said goodbye and went back. She agreed that she would come back in five days to remove the poison from Tang Huiyun.
"By the way, I just brought this ice jelly, but I forgot to tell you that the ice chips must have melted." Yao Qingnian took out the ice jelly and placed it on the table, along with a portion of crayfish.
"Thank you for your hard work, Miss Yao."
After spending the afternoon together, Tang Huiyun had a very good impression of Yao Qingnian, so she took out a jade hairpin from the box and handed it to Yao Qingnian: "This is my favorite hairpin. Just consider it as a return gift for your ice jelly."
"Miss Tang, you are so polite!" Yao Qingnian did not refuse the kindness and accepted the hairpin.
Tang Huiyun personally escorted them out of the mansion and sent a carriage to take them back.
"Master, what about my face?"
Yao Qingnian then saw that he was still dressed as a maid, and took out a makeup remover and facial cleanser from the space and handed them to him: "Use this to wash your face when you go back, and remember to wash it thoroughly before resting. And remember to change the bandage on your arm. I don't know if that beast is a mad dog. I'll give you an injection when we get back, so you don't get rabies."
“What is rabies?”
"After being bitten by an animal, it is easy to get infected, and the mortality rate is extremely high."
"Is this the flat bite disease you are talking about?"
Back in the shop, Zhongxia and the others were already packing up and preparing to close. Sanqi saw Han Junze coming back injured, and hurried over: "Master, how did you get hurt?"
"Nothing, I was scratched by a beast." Han Junze said lightly.
"What? A beast? I'll kill it!"
"It's already been killed." Yao Qingnian took out the rabies vaccine from the space and gave Han Junze an injection.
"Master, what kind of needle is this? I have never seen it before. What's inside it?" Han Junze asked curiously as he watched Yao Qingnian take out the strange needle like a magic trick.
"The syringe contains the vaccine against rabies."
"Vaccine? Master, this one of yours looks very powerful. Can you give me one? I will go back and study it."
Yao Qingnian threw the syringe that had just been used to inject him to him.
He went straight into the room and fell asleep on the bed without even taking a shower. When Yinuo came in, he saw his mother lying on the bed with her legs spread out. He considerately took off her shoes for her, fetched some water, wiped her face, and then closed the door.
