The original owner may not have had medical talents as high as Ye Bozhong, but compared to the doctors of this era, the Ye Family still possessed two nearly lost sublime techniques.
The "Ghost Gate Thirteen Needles" and the "Yin Yang Nine Needles."
Traditional Chinese Medicine has always been a miraculous healing art that even modern science can’t fully explain. If these two needle techniques were used properly, the Ye Family’s Medical Hall would inevitably return to its heyday.
The original owner’s father also hadn’t grasped the essence of the two needling techniques.
Ye Shaohua had flipped through these two techniques just last night, and it wouldn’t take her long to learn them, but what she lacked was an opportunity.
With the current situation of the Ye Family, and with the Emperor making his imperial pronouncement, Ye Bozhong had been labeled a "quack doctor."
This isn’t the modern society, even if there were unjust accusations, the common people would still be kept in the dark, and therefore, even if the Emperor spared the Medical Hall for the sake of Shaohua, a young girl, no one would believe in the Ye Family again.
Not to mention, Ye Shaohua was only a fifteen-year-old girl, and if they did not trust Ye Bozhong, how could they trust Ye Shaohua?
Ye Shaohua had originally intended to collaborate with the Duanwang Residence.
But they had already sought the services of Physician Liao, clearly not entertaining this idea.
It was not surprising to Ye Shaohua that the Duanwang Residence, which had relations with Ye Bozhong, wasn’t too concerned with her, an orphan girl.
However, the relationship between the Duanwang Residence and the Ye Family was indeed very close before.
Back in the day, when the old Duke was critically wounded on the battlefield and at death’s door, it was Ye Bozhong who saved him from the brink, and later on, he became the exclusive Imperial Physician for the old Duchess.
Before the death of Ye Bozhong, the old Duchess even considered having Ye Shaohua marry into the Duanwang Residence.
Although it wasn’t explicitly stated, in the eyes of the people of Jiangnan, this was the implication.
Speaking of Sikong Mingyu, the young prince of Duanwang Residence and the foremost genius of Jiangnan, his poems circulated throughout the streets and alleyways. Moreover, having followed the Duke onto the battlefield and learned martial arts, his reputation in Jianghu was not small either.
He was even ranked among the top ten personalities on the Jianghu celebrity list.
The Xiaoyao Pavilion, when idle, ranked him within the top three on the lists of both Jianghu beauties and handsome men.
Such a man of breathtaking talent and striking looks was the romantic figure found in the stories passed around by the daughters and young ladies of Jianghu.
As a result, any tidbit about him was peddled by Xiaoyao Pavilion, and the Ye Family, being close to the Duanwang Residence, naturally caught the attention of both Jianghu and the common people of Jiangnan.
The people of Jiangnan scrutinized Ye Shaohua from head to toe, deeming her family background unworthy of such a match.
Now that Ye Bozhong was dead, and the label "quack doctor" given by the Emperor had spread throughout Jiangnan.
But those things outside were just rumors; the original owner’s memory held nothing, and now Sikong Mingxuan’s excessive courtesy toward Ye Shaohua, and his hasty departure after only briefly paying respects to Ye Bozhong, puzzled her.
Ye Shaohua breathed a sigh of relief; from Sikong Mingxuan’s demeanor, it seemed that the Duanwang Residence likely had no such intentions.
"The ginseng in the kitchen is almost used up, and thankfully, the Prince sent a ginseng root," speaking of which, Dong Xue’s expression turned bitter again, "Miss, what are we going to do in the future?"
She was about the same age as Ye Shaohua, and for two orphan girls in a time that was very harsh on women, scraping a living was quite difficult.
In contrast to the deserted state of the Liao Family’s Medical Hall, Revival Hall was overrun with people, a stark contrast indeed.
Due to Ye Bozhong being singled out by the Emperor, now everyone knew the Ye Family to be a family of quacks, all beheaded.
Forget about attracting new patients; even the old clients dared not come to the Ye Family for medical treatment anymore.
Instead, Liao Mingxin shot to fame overnight, but her peculiar methods indeed held the power to back up her reputation.
Liao Mingxin’s comments brought Sikong Mingyu out of his reverie; he remembered the young girl he had glimpsed a few days ago in the Wang Residence, and for some reason, she had seemed familiar to him, especially the herbal fragrance on her...
Meanwhile, Liao Mingxin was attending to the old Duchess at the Wang Residence.
Her method of diagnosis differed from others as well; she didn’t take the pulse but listened to the patient’s heartbeat through a tube.
This convinced the local populace even more of her divine-like presence.
Nowadays, other doctors meticulously practiced inspection, auscultation, inquiry, and palpation, and none of them could diagnose an illness through a tube alone like her.
"Old Duchess," after listening to the diagnosis, Liao Mingxin declared, "You have coronary heart disease. Of course, you don’t need to know what that is. Wait a few days, and once I’ve formulated the Heart-saving Pill, you’ll be able to go out like normal people. If an episode occurs, just take one and you’ll be fine. There’s no need to stay cooped up in the Wang Residence all day, which is extremely bad for the patient."
Upon hearing Liao Mingxin’s words, the old Duchess’s eyes lit up, but she hesitated, "But, initially, Imperial Physician Ye said that my condition could be cured with acupuncture within a few years..."
Liao Mingxin scoffed. Such a disease curable? Evidently, the ancients were simply so unreachable in their ignorance.
It was utterly laughable.
