Chapter 911: Divine Doctor Jian Yining

"That's right, Great Elder. All the other children have recovered, and now only Miss Meiyin is crying incessantly. My heart aches just watching her; please, just give the order."

She remained unmoved: "No. Even if Meiyin cries herself to death, I cannot let her see Brother-in-law Wan'er. This is the order Mother gave me. Do not try to persuade me again; it is impossible for me to disobey Mother's command."

The group walked out of the Nianyin Bedchamber and saw Ji Yingjie walking toward them.

"The Clan Leader has returned? Pay respects to the Clan Leader."

"Greetings to the Clan Leader."

"Greetings to the Clan Leader."

"Hmm, is Meiyin the only one who hasn't received treatment now?"

"Yes, we tried to persuade the Great Elder, but she said she would rather let Miss Meiyin die of illness than disobey your order, Clan Leader."

Ji Yingjie nodded with satisfaction: "Understood, you may go."

"Nianci, take Miss Meiyin to see Jian Yining. Remember, no one else is allowed to see her except him, especially my good niece Shi Youxuan. If Shi Youxuan is there, bring her back immediately."

"Yes."

Nianci accepted the order and left, and Ji Yingjie entered the Nianyin Bedchamber.

"Mother, you've returned? Greetings to Mother." Nianyin performed a deep bow.

Ji Yingjie was happy inside, but she deliberately put on an angry expression on her face: "Hmph! Do you still have me, your mother, in your heart?"

Nianyin looked bewildered; she did not know what she had done wrong, but the education she had received since childhood had already formed an attitude of unconditional obedience toward the Clan Leader.

Mother could never be wrong; if Mother was angry, it must be her own fault!

"Please calm your anger, and please punish Nianyin."

Ji Yingjie retorted: "Why should I punish you? Where did you go wrong?"

Nianyin:...

She did not know where she had gone wrong.

"Nianyin does not know, please enlighten me, Mother."

"Hahahaha..."

Ji Yingjie suddenly laughed, helped Nianyin up, and praised her: "Good daughter, you did nothing wrong. Being obedient is right, but one must also know how to be flexible. If I hadn't returned today, would all the children of the clan have been cured by Jian Yining, leaving only our Meiyin unwell?"

"This child did not come easily; it took so much of my effort to obtain her. She is the future hope of our Ji Family, and you shouldn't be so negligent."

Ji Yingjie praised her first and then criticized her; Nianyin dared not refute a single word and accepted it all.

Medical Office.

Nianci carried a child wearing a veil to Jian Yining: "Brother-in-law Wan'er, please diagnose and treat this child."

"How old?"

"Twenty months."

"Birth date and time."

Nianci: "Is such detail necessary? You can just know the approximate time."

Jian Yining's face darkened: "Are you the doctor or am I the doctor? If you know everything, then you treat her; why ask me to look?"

Nianci dared to be angry but dared not speak.

"You are right."

She thought for a moment, and for the sake of the young miss, she told the truth: "Born on the twentieth of the seventh month."

"Hmm."

Jian Yining had an idea in his mind.

He placed his fingers on the child's wrist, pretending to take her pulse, and a moment later, his brows furrowed tightly.

"Brother-in-law Wan, how is the child's condition?" Nianci was very nervous.

"Carry her into the inner room; I need to perform a more detailed examination."

"No."

Nianci immediately refused: "For the other children, you just took a look and gave them a Pill, why can't you do that for this child?"

"Just give us a Pill, and we will go back and have her take it."

Jian Yining was furious: "Are you the doctor or am I the doctor? If you know everything, then you treat her; I won't bother anymore."

He stood up, making a move to leave.

Nianci panicked: "Brother-in-law, that is not what I meant. Please don't be angry; I will do as you instruct."

Her attitude was very good, but she still acted as if facing a formidable enemy, not daring to relax in the slightest.

Inner room.

Meiyin carried the child inside and subconsciously tucked the child's veil down a bit.

She was overthinking; Jian Yining did not ask for the veil to be lifted, and he did not even glance at the child. With his back to the two of them, he said: "Check the child's abdomen; have small red rashes appeared?"

"Yes, yes, they are dense and numerous. Before she fell into a coma, she kept complaining of itching and couldn't help but scratch."

Jian Yining: "That's it then. This child is difficult to treat. If there were no rashes on her body, one Pill would suffice, but since there are rashes, she must be treated with Acupuncture to recover."

"Alright, then please perform Acupuncture... does Acupuncture require needles in the face?"

Previously, when Jian Yining was at the Ji Family, he had treated Ji Yingjie's poison injuries through Acupuncture.

Therefore, this ancient method of Acupuncture was revered as a miraculous treatment in the Ji Family. Nianyin had no doubts about Jian Yining's suggestion, only worrying that if he needled the face, he would be able to see the child's appearance.

Before coming, the Clan Leader had given a strict order.

He must not be allowed to see what the child looked like. If he insisted, he was to be locked in the Dungeon, and the illness would not be treated; they would just leave it to fate.

"No need. Hold her with her back to me."

Nianci breathed a sigh of relief and followed the instructions.

Jian Yining took out the Silver Needle, disinfected it, and then skillfully inserted the needle into the child's shoulder and neck!

The icy Silver Needle was thin and long, flashing with a cold light.

How much would it hurt to have this stuck into one's body?

She was accustomed to the flash of swords and shadows of blades, yet now she felt daunted by this tiny Silver Needle; Nianci could not bear to watch and turned her face away.

Jian Yining quickly pulled out a few strands of the child's hair and hid them in his sleeve, unnoticed by anyone.

"It's done."

He put the needle away.

Nianci asked: "How long until she wakes up?"

Jian Yining: "She will wake up very soon. There are only two steps left now. The first step is to have the child's parents prick their index fingers, collect three drops of blood from each into a bowl, add clear water, and have the child drink it."

"After half an hour, just have her take this Pill."

He handed Nianci a Pill.

Nianci was puzzled: "Why must she drink the parents' blood? Can't she just take the Pill directly?"

"If you can do it, you treat her."

Jian Yining walked out after saying this.

The more indifferent he was, the less Nianci doubted the truth of his words.

She carried the child out to see the Clan Leader.

She recounted everything that happened in the Medical Room to the Clan Leader exactly as it occurred; Nianyin sat to the side with no expression on her face, and no one knew her joys or sorrows, nor could they tell what she was thinking.

Ji Yingjie raged: "Bastard, I think he is just making things difficult for you. With time so tight, where am I supposed to get her biological parents' blood?"

Jian Yining required it within one hour; in such a short time, even a private jet would not be fast enough.

She flew into a great rage, but it was of no use.

She did not want to gamble with the child's life, and Ji Yingjie recalled that curse from the past.

Many years ago, a woman who betrayed the Clan was subjected to capital punishment; when she was on the verge of death, she suddenly gathered all her strength and used her last bit of energy to curse the entire Clan: "I curse you all; I curse the women of the Ji Family to have difficulty with offspring from this day on. The higher their status, the harder it is to bear children."

"The children born will mostly be commoners, with few noble daughters. Sooner or later, you will watch with your own eyes as the Ji Family declines bit by bit, until it perishes, hahahahaha."

That woman died a miserable death.

But her curse came true.

The Ji Family's offspring had always been difficult to come by; successive Elders and Clan Leaders had racked their brains and tried countless methods, but nothing worked.

That was why Ji Yingjie would set her sights on other people's children.

Regardless of whose child it was, as long as it was a girl who could be linked to the Ji Family, she would try every possible means to claim her as her own!
