Duan Qing nodded and tightly hugged the elder Mrs. Duan.
Yun Jinnian glanced at him and undid the old lady’s bellyband.
Duan Qing’s forehead broke out in a fine sweat as he steadfastly stared ahead.
Ruan Wanrong’s eyes reddened slightly, the man she loved was truly a man.
Yun Jinnian inserted the needles swiftly, causing the elder Mrs. Duan to scream out in pain.
"Ah..."
Duan Qing hugged her tightly, "Grandmother, grandmother, it will stop hurting soon, it will stop hurting very soon!"
But the elder Mrs. Duan just couldn’t spit out the blood, making Yun Jinnian sowhat anxious.
If that mouthful of blood wasn’t expelled, the old lady could die at any mont, and the ergency rescue would be in vain.
Without even caring to take off her shoes, Yun Jinnian quickly climbed onto the bed, straddling the elder Mrs. Duan’s legs and vigorously massaging her chest.
Even after a good while of rubbing, the elder Mrs. Duan started to spasm and cramp, but still couldn’t spit it out.
"Silver needle, the longest one!" Yun Jinnian called out urgently.
Ruan Wanrong imdiately handed Yun Jinnian the silver needle, and Yun Jinnian took a deep breath, "Master Duan, hold on tight!"
"Mhm!" Duan Qing gave a small affirmative response.
And held the elder Mrs. Duan tighter.
Yun Jinnian took the silver needle and slowly aid for the old lady’s chest.
Her forehead was covered in sweat, her clothes soaked through, but Yun Jinnian remained calm, gently twisting the silver needle to push it in.
Sweat dripped drop by drop.
Ruan Wanrong wanted to wipe Yun Jinnian’s sweat with a handkerchief but was afraid to disturb her.
Duan Qing also glanced at Yun Jinnian.
Her clothes clung wetly to her petite body, he could only see her forehead, her face was hardly clear.
But Duan Qing knew that for many years to co, he would never forget this mont—how much strength and determination were contained in that small body.
She saved the Duan Family, he owed her, the Duan Family owed her.
This debt of gratitude was as heavy as a mountain.
"Pfft..."
The elder Mrs. Duan spat out a mouthful of blood; Yun Jinnian couldn’t dodge in ti and it splashed across her face and front of her clothes.
"Sister Jinnian?" Ruan Wanrong called out softly.
But Yun Jinnian let out a sigh of relief, not caring about anything else, "We succeeded!"
Duan Qing and Ruan Wanrong were overjoyed.
Yun Jinnian started to slowly withdraw the silver needles, and with each one pulled out, the old lady’s pain lessened until Yun Jinnian had removed them all and got off the bed, "Dress the elder lady now!"
Having said this, she took a handkerchief to gently wipe her face.
She exhaled deeply.
Without hesitation, Ruan Wanrong imdiately began to dress the elder Mrs. Duan.
As Yun Jinnian was about to get up to open the door, Duan Qing quickly got off the bed and draped his coat over Yun Jinnian.
Yun Jinnian was taken aback and turned to look at Duan Qing, "Thank you, Master Duan!"
She hadn’t thought of that herself.
"It’s the least I can do!" Duan Qing said with a deep voice, then asked, "Can my grandmother be bathed now?"
Yun Jinnian laughed, "Look at , of course, it’s fine. I will go to freshen up myself and will co back quickly!"
Duan Qing bowed deeply in gratitude.
Yun Jinnian bowed slightly in return and left the bedroom.
Outside the room, all the mbers of the Duan Family who could attend were present. When Duan Qing’s wife saw Yun Jinnian open the door with bloodstains on her face and chest, wearing Duan Qing’s clothes, she quickly asked, "Miss Yun, how is it?"
"We succeeded. Please prepare a change of clothes for and so hot water, I need to bathe myself!" Yun Jinnian said, then looked around at the Duan Family mbers.
The n all turned aside out of propriety, feeling a slight warmth in their chests.
They felt that today’s exertion and effort were all worth it!
