She secretly tried to treat someone, but was caught by the patient?

Being found in such a state of embarrassment…

This felt so bad!

Before He Yanxiu could reach out to help her, Su Yujin had already climbed up from the ground and covered He Yanxiu with the quilt that she had completely dragged to the ground.

He Yanxiu, “…”

Su Yujin’s technique and his understanding of her cooking skills reminded him of covering the fillings with dough when making meatloaf?

“Ahem!”

He Yanxiu simply stood up, put on his coat and shoes, and sat at the table, “I’ve never heard that you know medical skills before.”

“From a young age, I learned from my family, and later, I studied a lot of medical skills. I could treat some illnesses, but I can’t be compared to famous doctors, so I didn’t dare to practice medicine publicly.”

Su Yujin explained, “It’s just that when we just ate the barbecue, the fish was bland and the eggplant was too salty, but the Second Young Master didn’t say anything. If I have any doubts, I want to verify something.”

“I see.” He Yanxiu nodded, “What do you think, can it still be cured?”

“It can be cured, but it’s a bit cumbersome and takes about a little long time.” Su Yujin replied.

In other words, it could be cured.

He Yanxiu was overjoyed and clenched his fists, trying not to look too excited, “How to cure it and how long will it take to cure it?”

“Second Young Master’s loss of taste should be due to a fall. You must have hit the back of your head.”

Loss of taste was one of the sequelae of a fall. It was caused by damage to the central nervous system. In some cases, the human body can repair itself well over time, but in some cases, it cannot.

“Mmm,” He Yanxiu nodded. “It was about eight years ago. When I was young, I followed my father to participate in hunting. While chasing a deer with several other young people of the same age, I fell and injured myself slightly. It took a long time to heal.”

“Afterwards, I found that I couldn’t taste anything. My mother once invited the imperial physician to diagnose me, but he said this condition was untreatable. Because my grandmother was worried, and to keep her from fretting, only my parents, I, and the imperial physician knew about this at the time, with no one else informed.”

“In recent years, when I was on official business elsewhere and heard about renowned doctors, I visited one or two of them, but they were also helpless. As time passed, I became less concerned about this matter. Although I lost my sense of taste, my sense of smell became more acute. If it’s a taste with a smell, like sweet, spicy, or pungent, I can usually discern it through the scent.”

But salt has no smell, so He Yanxiu didn’t taste it at that time.

No wonder every time He Yanxiu ate, he always paused for a moment before putting food in his mouth. Initially, she had thought it was because he had been taught good manners by his family, eating with refined and elegant movements, or perhaps it was because he was a young master from a prestigious family, adhering to strict rules and etiquette since childhood, so he often had to maintain a certain demeanor.

It turned out to be a secret smell.

It was no wonder that every time she asked He Yanxiu how he felt, he always got an indifferent answer. At first, she just thought he was casual and didn’t care about it.

It turned out that because of his physical illness, he had to act like this to make himself look like a normal person.

Su Yujin felt a burst of emotion in her heart, and what was even more sad was what happened to He Yanxiu.

It had been eight years since he lost his sense of taste.

In these eight years, no matter what kind of delicious food he ate, there was no taste in your mouth. How painful was this?

Especially when he saw others praising how delicious the food was, he wanted to experience it himself, but he was unable to do so…

As expected, everyone had unknown troubles.

Su Yujin looked at He Yanxiu with a little more sympathy.

This sympathy made He Yanxiu feel a little awkward.

At first, he hid this matter from everyone, even Xing’an around him. In addition to being afraid of his grandmother’s worries, he also didn’t want to be treated with sympathy.

He Yanxiu coughed lightly, “You didn’t answer just now, how do you diagnose and treat me?”

“Oh, yes.” Su Yujin withdrew her gaze, “It needs to be treated with acupuncture, combined with decoction and medicine. You should also pay attention to your diet every day and avoid certain foods.”

“How long will it take?”

“It depends on the early treatment. Su Yujin replied, “In the early stage, acupuncture needs to be administered every day for seven consecutive days, and then acupuncture should be administered once every seven days, along with decoction. If one acupuncture is counted as one course of treatment, at least seven courses of treatment will be required to achieve initial results.”

“If you want to be completely cured, if the treatment goes well, I estimate it will take about one year. If it doesn’t go well, it may take three to five years.”

In terms of time alone, it was indeed not a short time.

But he had already lived like this for eight years, and it was not impossible to wait another one or two years.

“Okay.” He Yanxiu nodded, “Then let’s do the acupuncture as you said. Do you want to start now?”

“Okay.” Su Yujin nodded, “Second Young Master, wait for me a moment. I’ll go get my silver needle and make some preparations.”

While waiting for Su Yujin to get the silver needle, He Yanxiu thought about something very important.

Although he didn’t know much about medical skills, he remembered that his father was injured once. When the doctor came to see him, he inserted a needle into his back.

When applying acupuncture, in order to ensure the precise position and appropriate force of the acupuncture, the back was always bare.

If he took off his clothes in front of Su Yujin later, the atmosphere would inevitably be awkward…

After He Yanxiu hesitated for a moment, he reached out and untied his belt.

Xing’an had been waiting outside for a long time since Su Yujin entered the house, and now he saw Su Yujin coming out to order Ai Cao to prepare hot water and soju, but there was no movement in the house.

Xing’an gently pushed the door open, preparing to see the Second Young Master’s current condition and whether he needed assistance with anything.

As a result, through the crack in the door, Xing’an saw He Yanxiu undressing and taking off all his clothes!

Goodness gracious!
It was inappropriate to look!

Xing’an hurriedly closed the gap, and when Su Yujin entered the room with a small basin of hot water and soju, he went even further away.

There may be some embarrassing noises later, and he didn’t want to listen to them!

Then he felt it was not enough, so he simply called Ai Cao and Mama Liu over, telling them not to come near the room, and even asked them to boil some hot water.

Ai Cao and Mama Liu got the order and got busy.

“This is all fine, why do we need so much hot water?” Ai Cao added more firewood to the stove, somewhat puzzled. “But he didn’t mention preparing a bathtub.”

“Don’t ask about this kind of thing.” Mother Liu smiled and replied.

“What exactly is it?” The more Ai Cao was discouraged from inquiring, the more curious she became.

“Don’t be shy, why are you inquiring about this?” Seeing Ai Cao’s puzzled expression, with a look of wanting to get to the bottom of things, Madam Liu said impatiently, “Miss just entered the room, and the Second Young Master is lying inside. What do you think the Second Young Master and Miss could be doing together?”

Cough!

Ai Cao blushed and hurriedly sat down to light the fire.

Su Yujin entered the room, closed the door, and took the set of silver needles sent by Li Shi. When she came to the bed again, she saw He Yanxiu, who was lying on the bed upright.

The entire back is completely exposed.

Su Yujin, “…”

Su Yujin, “What’s wrong with the Second Young Master?”
