Jing Shao is infertile, but his nanny is pregnant with his child.

How could Chen Yu not blush quickly?

In just half a month, Zhu Guoan's condition improved significantly.

Especially last night, Zhu Guoan slept soundly until dawn, and no longer felt the pain that made him break out in a cold sweat.

Lu Yan didn't care about her attitude, as long as she could make money.

When Lu Yan arrived, Zhu Guoan was already lying down. Lu Yan walked over and pressed his legs, "Political Commissar, can you feel anything now?"

Zhu Guoan shook his head. "No, but the surrounding area doesn't hurt as much anymore."

Over the years, he has long been accustomed to the pain, but it is more severe in winter. Now, the pain level is within his tolerance range.

Lu Yan hummed in agreement. "Political Commissar, I'm going to give you a few more acupuncture needles today. It might hurt a lot, but the effect will be better after this. If you can bear it, please do so. If you can't, you must tell me."

Zhu Guoan smiled gently, "Okay."

As usual, Lu Yan massaged him for more than ten minutes first, and then took out the gold needles and inserted them.

This time, Lu Yan did not loosen the golden needles. Instead, she observed Zhu Guoan's expression and slowly inserted the golden needles into the needles.

At first, Zhu Guoan only felt a tingling pain, but as the acupuncture needles went deeper, a painful expression appeared on Zhu Guoan's face.

Lu Yan stared at the length of the remaining golden needle and withdrew her hand in time.

Acupuncture does not mean that the deeper the needle is inserted, the better the effect.

If not handled properly, it could worsen the patient's condition.

Therefore, only senior and experienced traditional Chinese medicine practitioners will gradually explore the depths of acupuncture.

Lu Yan inserted the gold needles into Zhu Guoan's flesh one by one, a total of sixteen needles.

Seeing the fine beads of sweat on Zhu Guoan's forehead, Chen Yuhong asked with some concern, "Xiao Lu, didn't you prick too deep or too many times?"

Last time I had ten needles inserted.

The doctor who had performed acupuncture on Zhu Guoan before had never inserted the needle this deep.

"Don't worry, Madam, everything will be fine. You only need to stay for fifteen minutes this time."

Chen Yuhong was filled with apprehension, but considering that Zhu Guoan's condition had improved, she chose to trust Lu Yan.

Lu Yan: "Political Commissar, is the flesh inside your leg burning with pain?"

Zhu Guoan frowned: "That's exactly the feeling."

It felt as if a fire was burning inside his flesh, searing the muscles within.

Lu Yan: "Okay, please hang in there a little longer. After today, we won't do acupuncture this week. We'll just apply mud moxibustion every other day, and then we'll do acupuncture again on a sunny day next week."

"it is good."

Fifteen minutes later, Lu Yan removed the needle.

The burning sensation was still there. Zhu Guoan moved his legs and lay down to recover.

Chen Yuhong ran over, "Old Zhu, are you feeling unwell anywhere?"

Zhu Guoan shook his head.

Lu Yan sterilized the needle and put it away, saying, "Political Commissar, please don't go out today. I'll come over this afternoon to check on you. If you feel unwell anywhere, please call me. Don't try to tough it out."

"Okay." Zhu Guoan then looked at Chen Yuhong and said, "Give Xiao Lu the money."

Chen Yuhong quickly took out two yuan and handed it to Lu Yan.

After Lu Yan took it, she said, "You can also apply the medicinal mud to other places. If you feel uncomfortable anywhere, have Dr. Zhu massage it first, and then apply the medicinal mud. If you keep applying it, you will feel much better. After applying this jar of medicinal mud 20 times, the effect will not be as good as the first 20 times. Try not to apply it to the political commissar's legs anymore. You and the political commissar can apply it to other places."

Older people often experience aches and pains, and some feel that there's no need for treatment and just endure the pain, which only makes it worse over time.

In the past, Chen Yuhong would have thought that Lu Yan was just trying to make more money so that they would apply more of the medicine, but after applying the medicine mud, she realized how good it was.

Her son, who is also a doctor, smelled the medicine several times and found no harmful or addictive drugs; they were all for clearing the meridians.

"Xiao Lu, your medicinal mud is really good. I used it yesterday, and it felt warm and made me feel much better. I heard you made several more jars, and I'd like to buy another one."

Just like Lu Yan said, the more times a jar of medicinal mud is applied, the weaker the effect becomes. They can buy two jars, apply the first 20 times to Zhu Guoan's legs, and apply the remaining 10 times to wherever he feels uncomfortable.

Lu Yan: "I'll bring it to you when I get back."

Chen Yuhong felt embarrassed and said, "I'll go with you to get it."

Before leaving, Chen Yuhong gave Lu Yan another fifty yuan, which was for buying medicinal mud.

That evening, after dinner, Lu Yan called Zhou Yanxing aside and said, "I have to go out for a bit and might not be back tonight. Is it okay for Ya Guang to sleep with you?"

Zhou Yanxing immediately said, "There's definitely no problem, Sister Yan. If you trust me, let Ya Guang sleep with me from now on. The four of us brothers will all live separately after we turn four."

Because boys and girls have different physical structures, it's not appropriate for a little boy to sleep in the same bed with his mother after he's old enough to understand.

Of course, there's nothing that can be done if there's too many people and not enough room for everyone to sleep.

Lu Yan naturally wanted to sleep in separate rooms from Lu Yaguang as soon as possible, but the circumstances didn't allow it.

"Okay, you two give it a try today, and I'll talk to him about it tomorrow."

Zhou Yanxing patted his chest and assured her, "Don't worry, Sister Yan, I will definitely take good care of Ya Guang."

Lu Yan changed her clothes and went out.

Zhou Yanchen came out but didn't see anyone. He looked at Zhou Yanxing and asked, "Where did she go?"

Zhou Yanxing didn't react immediately. "Brother, who are you talking about?"

Zhou Yan's lips tightened into a straight line. "Lu Yan."

Zhou Yanxing said "Oh," and added, "Sister Yan said she has something to do tonight and won't be coming back."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yan frowned. "Where did they go?"

Zhou Yanxing rubbed his neck. "I don't know, Sister Yan didn't tell me."

"What's below your nose? Can't you ask?!"

Zhou Yanxing: "......"

No, what happened to his third brother?

Sister Yan is just a nanny they hired. She has the right to go out and run errands. Why does Third Brother look so angry?

Thinking this to himself, Zhou Yanxing said, "Third Brother, Sister Yan has nothing to do with us, so we shouldn't pry into her private affairs."

Zhou Yanchen gave him a cold look, then turned his wheelchair and went back into the house.

Zhou Yanxing blinked, somewhat puzzled.

That night, Zhou Yanchen lay in bed unable to sleep, glancing at his watch every now and then. It was one in the morning, and Lu Yan still hadn't returned.

At this moment, in a small grove of trees.

A dozen or so men dressed in black surrounded a man and a woman.

The two men trembled with fear. The man roared, "Who are you? Why are you arresting us in the middle of the night? Do you know this is illegal? I have connections!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a soft laugh rang out in the grove of trees, and they looked in the direction of the sound.

Under the moonlight, the woman, wearing a mask but revealing a pair of cunning fox-like eyes, slowly walked to their side, slowly squatted down, and looked them in the eye. With a flick of her wrist, a dagger fell from her sleeve into her hand.

The next second, Lu Yan patted the man's face with the dagger, a smile playing on her lips. "Come on, tell me who your superior is and scare me."
