Reborn as a Mortal Heiress Pampered by Big Shots-Chapter 190 - 186 The love and affection from the old ancestors~

Upon entering Xia Yourong’s room, the family doctor brought out the recently acquired medical report.

According to the report, no ailments were detected.

After receiving the sedative, Xia Yourong was still not awake for the moment.

Xia Ye quickly noticed the palm of her hand laid open and resting by her side, with a small healing puncture on it.

The plant sap had already seeped through the wound into her skin.

After a brief glance, Xia Ye unfolded the acupuncture kit.

Xu Qing’s eyes widened as she asked, "Why didn’t you take her pulse this time?"

Xia Ye’s expression remained unchanged, "She doesn’t need it."

Xu He looked over Xia Yourong and whispered softly, "Little Tiangao, what’s exactly wrong with your sister?"

She had roughly heard about her behavior after returning to the old family home that evening.

Speaking insolently to Mrs. Jiang was indeed not her usual manner.

Xia Ye was nonchalant, "This...is just the result of doing too many bad things, she’s being stifled."

"What?" Both Xu Qing and Qiao Yufen found it absurd after hearing this, "You...this..."

But Xia Ye’s tone was devoid of any jest and left no room for doubt.

Moreover, Xia Yourong had indeed done some things before...

The two hesitated and, in the end, swallowed the rest of their words and instead asked, "Then... can it be cured?"

After all, the most pressing matter now was to get Xia Yourong’s illness cured as soon as possible.

The high school examination was imminent; there was no time to waste.

"We still need to do acupuncture," Xia Ye seemed somewhat regretful, "However, this... might be somewhat painful."

As she spoke, she pulled out a three-inch-long silver needle in front of everyone—

Qiao Yufen blanched at the sight.

As if pierced by the reflected light from the silver needle, Xia Yourong squinted her eyes and slowly opened them.

At this moment, she did not experience any hallucinations, but the scene she saw was more terrifying than anything she’d imagined, her face drained of color as she quickly climbed out of bed, "Xia Ye! What are you doing?"

Xia Ye’s tone was indifferent, "I’m treating you."

Xia Yourong shook her head vigorously and turned to Qiao Yufen and Xu Qing, clutching their hands as if seeking help, "Grandma, she’s gone mad!"

Qiao Yufen clicked her tongue in resignation, "She’s not mad, it’s you who’s gone mad. You just fainted Mrs. Jiang with your outburst. It was Yeye who revived her. Granddaughter, be obedient, let your sister give you a few needles, that’s how you’ll get better."

Before Xia Yourong had time to ponder what had just occurred, she couldn’t believe that Grandma would actually agree to let Xia Ye perform such a ridiculous act of acupuncture on her.

But looking at the others...

Xu Qing was also full of concern, "Your grandmother is right. The family doctor has no solution to your illness, and now we can only let your sister try..." Seeing Xia Yourong’s continued refusal, she reminded in a low voice, "Do you still want to take the college entrance examination or not?"

Xia Yourong indeed realized that ever since returning from the Xia Family home, she felt completely unwell.

While still hesitant, Xia Yuzheng also spoke up.

He stood beside Xu He with his hands behind his back, his voice stern, "Yourong! Your sister doesn’t mind the past issues and is willing to treat you, don’t be willful anymore!"

Seeing that everyone else felt the same, Xia Yourong had no choice but to glare resentfully at Xia Ye.

Xia Ye spoke impassively, "Place your arm flat on the table." frёeweɓηovel.coɱ

Absolutely no physical contact.

Xia Yourong reluctantly placed her arm on the table, and as soon as it settled, Xia Ye’s hand moved, and the frighteningly long needle directly pierced her skin.

"Ahhhh—"

Wherever the needle punctured, Xia Yourong felt a pain so intense it made her hairs stand on end.

Xia Ye: "If you move and I needle the wrong acupoint, I’m not responsible."

Xu Qing came over and held her arm: "Xiaorong, hang in there, it’s just like how good medicine tastes bitter."

In a matter of seconds, seven Silver Needles were scattered across Xia Yourong’s arm.

Each of these seven Silver Needles hurt more than the last, causing Xia Yourong to grimace in pain with an ugly expression.

Finally, having finished needling, Xia Ye put on a show of cleaning up the needles and stood up.

"In the next few days, she might still experience symptoms like dizziness, nausea, and stomachaches, but don’t worry, she’ll be better after persevering for a week."

Although it was only two weeks left until the high school examination, being able to recover in a week was still better than not recovering at all.

Qiao Yufen was overjoyed, and when Xia Ye left with Xia Yuzheng and the others, she even followed them out to the door to see them off.

The sun was rising from the west.

Xia Ye curled her lips in amusement and got into the car.

Qiao Yufen and her family had no idea that the symptoms of dizziness, nausea, and stomachaches were the normal reactions to being poisoned by that particular plant. Even if Xia Ye hadn’t performed the acupuncture, Xia Yourong would have recovered on her own after a week.

The needles Xia Ye had just placed were all in the most painful acupoints for humans, causing nothing but sourness and pain, with no other effect!

They had the audacity to plunder the flowers painstakingly nurtured by their ancestors and still expected those same ancestors to cure their ailments?

That’s what you call reaping what you sow.

**

Xia Yourong’s current state was such that she couldn’t go to school, so she had to take leave.

While the other students were all cramming for the final sprint before the exam, she was taking leave for a week.

The school teachers all shook their heads and sighed when they mentioned her.

After the old Mrs. Jiang had rested, she just took her personal servant and left the old house without even saying goodbye to Qiao Yufen. It was later heard that she had dined at the Xia Family’s villa twice.

Her attitude was quite clear.

During that week, Xia Yourong lay in bed all the time, moaning and groaning, her mind foggy, with only one thing on her mind — the guaranteed admission spot.

She was still dreaming, placing all her hopes on her mother and grandmother, believing they would find another way to secure that guaranteed admission spot for her.

A week passed in the blink of an eye.

Finally, there was just one more week until the high school examination.

Early in the morning on Sunday, in the bedroom.

Xu He was looking at the semester plan brochure that the school had given to parents at the beginning of the term.

When she came across a certain item, she frowned slightly.

Turning her head, she asked Xia Yuzheng, who was dressed in a formal suit jacket, ready to go to the company, "Honey, the school said they would hold a parent-teacher meeting one week before the high school examination, during the weekend. Is it this weekend they’re talking about?"

Xia Yuzheng paused for a moment, looking down and calculating seriously, "We have exactly 8 days left until Yeye’s examination... So it must be this weekend, right?"

It was already Sunday today.

He too began to feel puzzled, "How come, Yeye didn’t tell you?"

Xu He shook her head in confusion.

After a moment, the couple hurried out of the bedroom and indeed, they saw their darling daughter already dressed in her school uniform, with her bag slung over her shoulder, sitting in the dining room having breakfast.

Xu He: "Little Tiangao, isn’t there a parent-teacher meeting at your school today? How come you forgot to tell Mom? Wait up for me, I’ll go and get ready."

Xia Ye was startled for a moment, not expecting they would know about it.

Feeling guilty for a second, her gaze drifted elsewhere, "Well... I saw that both of you have been quite busy lately, so I asked another parent to go for me..."
