It was strange.
Fu Cheng had originally lost control of himself, in so much pain he wanted to smash his head, but with Lu Zhaoling's light pat, his movements instantly froze.
Before the Fu Family members could react, his raised hand had already dropped, his entire body relaxing, and his tensed frame visibly straightened and softened.
The Fu Family members' eyes nearly popped out.
Fu Shun did not dare to step forward even half a step, fearing he would genuinely disturb Lu Zhaoling.
Old Madam Fu also nervously drew closer, gripping her son's arm tightly.
It seemed this Miss Lu truly had ability!
Even if nothing else, just being able to make their child feel better now was good.
Fu Cheng had been in so much pain he didn't want to live. He truly hadn't expected a headache to be so terrifyingly severe.
But then his chest was suddenly patted, as if a gentle breeze instantly swept away the mire covering his heart. In just an instant, he felt his body much lighter and his headache had eased by more than half.
His consciousness cleared somewhat, and he focused to see the situation before him.
At a glance, he saw Lu Zhaoling.
The elegant young girl's eyes were calm and clear.
But the way she said "be good" was just like his grandmother's helpless coaxing when he was a child.
"Grandfather..."
Fu Cheng saw Physician Fu standing beside him and wanted to ask who it was, but as soon as he opened his mouth, Lu Zhaoling shushed him.
"Don't speak yet."
Fu Cheng immediately clamped his mouth shut.
He didn't know why he was so obedient.
Lu Zhaoling squeezed her knuckles, and her palm glowed faintly golden.
She reached her hand to Fu Cheng's head and made several gestures. To the onlookers, her movements were light, graceful, and like a finger dance. For a moment, they watched without blinking.
The dark Qi flowed with Lu Zhaoling's fingers, forming a vortex.
"Heaven and Earth have spirits, life manifests, death energy dissipates, bind."
Lu Zhaoling suddenly clenched her hand, then moved it to the jade pillow, "Trap."
The death Qi, like a vortex, was rapidly absorbed into the jade pillow.
Although the Fu Family members couldn't see the death Qi, they could see that the jade pillow, which had originally been polished to a good luster and looked to be of fine jade, slowly turned dull gray.
The luster on the jade pillow completely disappeared; it looked so dusty and unvaluable that anyone would believe it was just a worthless stone.
Their eyes widened to a new degree.
What was happening?
All the death Qi swirling around Fu Cheng's head had been collected into the jade pillow, but strands of death Qi were still slowly emanating from the acupoints on his scalp.
Lu Zhaoling extracted for a while longer before it was completely clean.
The moment the last trace of death Qi was drawn out, Fu Cheng instantly felt his headache completely vanish. He was only very sleepy.
He struggled to keep his eyelids open, wanting to see what else Lu Zhaoling would do.
Lu Zhaoling turned to Fu Shun, "You come."
Fu Shun didn't know what she wanted him to do, but he didn't dare hesitate, immediately stepping forward two paces.
"Gently carry this jade pillow to the doorway and place it on the ground where it can be exposed to sunlight."
"Yes."
Fu Shun instinctively obeyed.
"Be gentle, and hurry."
Fu Shun carefully held the jade pillow and quickly walked to the doorway, placing it on the ground where the sun shone.
"Step back." Lu Zhaoling's voice came, and he immediately retreated a few steps.
Just as he stepped back, he heard a "bang," and the jade pillow instantly shattered.
It became countless fragments of jade.
"This..."
All the Fu Family members were greatly startled.
Physician Fu, however, breathed a sigh of relief, feeling a sense of "just as expected, this is good."
Just like his last time.
But that time he only used a jade pendant; this time, it was a jade pillow.
This must be because Cheng'er had been in contact with the wood carving for a longer time, so he had accumulated more death Qi.
"Miss Lu, is this really all better?" Fu Shun asked.
Lu Zhaoling nodded, "Fu Cheng's body will be a bit weak. For the next few days, he should spend more time in the sun around noon, eat well, and rest. He'll be fine in a few days."
Yao Lin quickly rushed to the bedside to check on Fu Cheng.
"Cheng'er, how do you feel?"
Fu Cheng looked at Lu Zhaoling, his voice weak, "Mother, my head doesn't hurt anymore, I'm just sleepy..."
This young girl could really cure him...
He wanted to get up and talk to Lu Zhaoling, but he couldn't resist the drowsiness and fell into a deep sleep.
"Cheng'er?" Yao Lin was very worried.
"He's fine, just sleeping. Let him sleep," Lu Zhaoling said.
Physician Fu also took his grandson's pulse, confirming there was truly nothing wrong.
He let out a great sigh of relief and bowed deeply to Lu Zhaoling, "Miss Lu's great kindness, our Fu family has no way to repay it..."
"No way to repay it? This is my house call, I need to collect medical fees," Lu Zhaoling said.
Physician Fu was stunned for a moment.
"You wouldn't be thinking of having me help for free, would you?"
That wouldn't do.
She was very poor right now, and earning money was a very important matter!
Physician Fu had certainly never thought of letting her help for free; he had just intended to give her some valuable gifts. He hadn't expected Lu Zhaoling to directly ask for medical fees.
His surprise stemmed from Lu Zhaoling saying this was a type of house call, for which she collected medical fees.
"Of course!" Old Madam Fu walked over, pushing aside her old man. She found him annoyingly dense at the moment, not understanding anything!
"Miss Lu saved my grandson; she has been kind to our entire family!"
Saying that, she was about to take off the jade bracelet on her wrist, "Didn't Miss Lu say this pair of bracelets of mine looked pretty good? Consider this a first-meeting gift..."
Lu Zhaoling stopped her.
"Old Madam, this pair of bracelets is very good, but I cannot accept them. You've been wearing them for several years, haven't you? This pair of bracelets can nourish qi and is good for your health, so you should continue to wear them."
Hearing her say that, Old Madam Fu was first stunned for a moment, but still didn't change her mind.
"Since wearing them is good for the body, then you should accept them even more."
She now felt a little sorry for Lu Zhaoling, with her head injury and being so thin and weak...
If this pair of bracelets could help her nourish her qi, wouldn't that be good?
Lu Zhaoling hadn't expected that after she pointed out the benefits of the bracelets, Old Madam Fu would still be willing to give them to her. She felt a surge of goodwill towards Old Madam Fu.
She pressed down on Old Madam's hand.
"Jade bracelets worn for a long time recognize their owner. One hundred taels of silver from Old Madam will suffice."
Yao Lin was surprised, "Only one hundred taels?"
"A-Lin, go fetch three thousand taels," Old Madam Fu said.
"Yes, Daughter-in-law will go now."
Yao Lin quickly went and retrieved three thousand taels: two thousand taels in silver notes and one thousand taels in silver ingots, a whole box.
"Miss Lu, since you won't accept the jade bracelets, please choose a pair yourself," Old Madam Fu insisted that she accept the three thousand taels.
Lu Zhaoling had originally only wanted one hundred taels in medical fees, but the Fu Family members insisted she accept it, so she no longer refused.
Qing Bao hugged the wooden box.
Miss is so amazing! She earned three thousand taels on one outing!
