The Peasant Wife: The Prime Minister's Beloved

Chapter 151 Style

Inside the room, under Chen Xi's guidance, Mrs. Fang had taken off her clothes and slowly stepped into the bathtub filled with hot water.

Chen Xi took out a few long silver needles that shone with cold light from the medical box. This time, she planned to perform acupuncture on Mrs. Fang's head in order to achieve the best treatment effect.

The hot water just covered Mrs. Fang's shoulders and neck, reaching her collarbone, making her feel warm and comfortable.

Chen Xi's technique was precise, and under her control, the twelve silver needles were steadily inserted into the acupuncture points on the top of Madam Fang's head.

"Mrs. Fang, please try to relax and imagine that you are enjoying a comfortable bath. I will always be by your side to protect you." She whispered to comfort him.

Madam Fang responded softly, trying her best to follow Chen Xi's instructions, and gradually immersed herself in it.

During this time, Chen Xi added hot water and a few drops of precious spiritual spring water to the wooden barrel from time to time, making the effect of the entire medicinal bath more significant.

After about an incense stick of time had passed, Chen Xi slowly pulled out the silver needle and signaled Madam Fang that she could get up.

While Mrs. Fang was changing her clothes, Chen Xi considerately turned away to avoid looking directly at her. At the same time, she carefully disinfected the scalpel with flame and alcohol, making full preparations for the subsequent bloodletting therapy.

"Doctor Chen, I feel much more relaxed now. What are you going to do?" Mrs. Fang noticed the scalpel in Chen Xi's hand, and her heart tightened. A look of surprise and confusion appeared on her face.

Chen Xi patiently explained: "Madam, you should understand that the treatment is currently at a critical stage. In addition, you accidentally fell into the water. It is difficult to achieve the best therapeutic effect with only medicine and acupuncture. Therefore, bloodletting therapy is needed to help expel the evil spirits in the body."

After hearing this, Mrs. Fang was silent for a moment, but finally nodded to show her understanding.

After all, after this accident, the original treatment plan does need to be adjusted accordingly.

Chen Xi chose to perform bloodletting on Madam Fang at this time, also considering that Mr. Fang might not be able to bear to see this scene because he felt sorry for his wife.

"Let's do it next to the wooden barrel, so that the blood can drip directly into the barrel, which will be more convenient to deal with afterwards." She suggested softly.

Mrs. Fang obeyed meekly and walked slowly to the barrel.

"If you feel scared, just close your eyes." Chen Xi comforted softly.

As soon as she finished speaking, Mrs. Fang closed her eyes tightly.

The scalpel was in Chen Xi's hand, lightly sliding across Mrs. Fang's fingertips. She felt almost no pain, only tiny drops of blood slowly seeped out and fell into the wooden barrel, accompanied by a slight sound of water.

After a moment, Chen Xi gently shook out the fine medicine powder from the exquisite porcelain bottle and carefully covered Mrs. Fang's wound with it, his movements gentle and skillful.

After the powder was evenly spread, he gently helped Mrs. Fang adjust her posture, making sure she was lying down again and comfortable.

Then he slowly opened the door and called the waiter in a gentle voice.

"Madam, how do you feel?" Chen Xi's voice was full of concern, and his eyes flickered in the candlelight.

"Don't worry, I'm fine." Mrs. Fang responded softly.

"For your recovery, I just performed bloodletting on you. In the days ahead, you will need to take more supplements. I will come to give you acupuncture every day and perform bloodletting every ten days. At the same time, precious medicinal herbs such as ginseng and ganoderma lucidum are essential to supplement your body. Make sure your body is fully nourished."

Chen Xi's words revealed professionalism and determination, and Master Fang nodded repeatedly.

"Today's treatment ends here. It's getting late and the road is difficult to travel. Please ask Master Fang to arrange someone to take us back to Nangou Village." Chen Xi's words rang out at the right time. At this time, the moon was dim outside the window and the night was dark.

"Okay, Doctor Chen, Master Xiao, please follow me." Master Fang immediately ordered the servants to prepare the car and personally led the two of them out the door. The night breeze was slightly cool.

……

At home in Nangou Village, Xiaoyang and Xiaochen had fallen into a sweet dream, while Xie Tianyi sat quietly by the bed, patiently waiting for the return of Chen Xi and Fang Wenfu.

Just as he stood up and was about to go out to look, the sound of horse hooves coming from afar broke the silence of the night. A surge of joy suddenly surged in his heart, he knew that they were back.

The door opened slightly, and the figures of Chen Xi and Fang Wenfu suddenly appeared outside the door. Chen Xi was about to knock on the door, but she gently put down her hand. She knew that Xie Tianyi must have heard their return.

The light in the room was soft, illuminating her slightly tired but still gentle face.

"Have you had dinner? There is hot porridge and crispy omelets in the kitchen." Xie Tianyi's voice was full of care.

"We have already had dinner at Master Fang's house, don't worry, you should go to bed early too."

Chen Xi yawned, with a barely perceptible hint of tiredness in her words. As she finished speaking, she walked into the house.

The moonlight under the night sky shines through the window lattice and falls on her body, making people feel a faint sense of peace involuntarily.

For her, adjusting to jet lag still seems to be a protracted battle. Whenever the moon rises, sleepiness comes flooding in and is hard to resist.

I had a dreamless night until the dawn.

The next morning, at the dining table, while preparing breakfast, Xie Tianyi asked with concern: "Can Mr. Fang's wife really be cured?"

"Yes, but the process may be a little difficult." Chen Xi's answer was concise and firm. After hearing this, although Xie Tianyi was still worried, he chose to support him silently and stopped asking questions.

Just after breakfast, a luxuriously decorated carriage quietly stopped at the door of Chen Xi's house. This scene immediately attracted the attention of the neighbors, and everyone speculated whether another distant friend of Xie Tianyi was visiting.

However, the carriage came this time specifically to welcome Chen Xi.

Considering that Mrs. Fang is a woman and Chen Xi is capable of taking charge, Fang Wenfu decided to stay at home and not go with them.

"Xiaoyang and Xiaochen, you must listen to Daddy and Grandpa Xiao. Mommy will be back in the afternoon." Chen Xi whispered softly, with reluctance in his eyes.

"Mom, please come back soon."

"Be careful on the road, mother."

Xiaoyang and Xiaochen nodded sensibly, their childish voices revealing their attachment and concern for their mother.

Amid the innocent exhortations of the children, Chen Xi turned around and stepped onto the carriage. As the wheels slowly rolled, she set off in the direction of the Fang Mansion.

However, the folks always have something to talk about.

"Xiaoyang and Xiaochen, where is your mother going?"

"Yes, why are you sitting in such a magnificent carriage?"

The villagers were talking about it. After all, in such a small village, horse-drawn carriages were a rare luxury.

"My mother went there to treat illnesses." Xiaoyang and Xiaochen answered proudly, as children speak without restraint.

"Treat the illness? Then why didn't Master Fang go with us?" Someone else asked curiously. After all, in the eyes of the villagers, Fang Wenfu, as Chen Xi's master, should be the first choice to treat the illness.
