Jinyi Spring

Chapter 44: Forced (Additional votes required)
But Feng Chuchen couldn't say that out loud.

Knowing that it is impossible to burn the incense of this life, he still inserted the incense of this life into the incense burner and took out the fire stick to light the incense.

Unfortunately, it wouldn't light after several attempts.

A few sighs were heard, and Mrs. Jiang, who had just come in, burst into tears.

This is her first grandchild, and a fat one at that.

Feng Chuchen shook his head helplessly.

Madam Jiang said, "Is it because your skills are not as good as Doctor Feng's that you can't light the incense of this life? Try the Shangyin Divine Needle. If you save the patient, you will be rewarded with five hundred taels of silver. If you fail, it's not your fault."

Feng Chuchen said, "If the incense is not burning in this life, then acupuncture cannot be performed, not to mention that the baby has already died."

Madam Jiang said angrily, "Why use the Shangyin magic needle when he is still alive? All the infants that Doctor Feng used acupuncture on died. No, you have to use acupuncture. My grandson is so fat, he can definitely be saved."

Are there really people who are so overbearing and unreasonable, and who lie with their eyes open?

If it were Doctor Feng, she wouldn't dare to force it like that.

She took advantage of Feng Chuchen's youth and timidity and wanted to force her to give the acupuncture a try.

Feng Chuchen showed no fear and said coldly, "If the incense is not burning in this life, the Yin Shen needle cannot be used. This is the rule."

Madam Jiang shouted, "Rules are set by people, you should give the acupuncture quickly. Doctor Feng risked her life to save people, and you don't even dare to give it a try?"

As long as this girl can save her grandson, her death is worth it.

Feng Chuchen handed the incense burner and incense to Aunt Wang, looked at her and said calmly, "I'm sorry, I can't break this rule for a dead child. If I break it, I will never be able to light this life incense again, and I won't be able to save other sick children."

She would never say that the acupuncture would backfire on the person giving it.

Mrs. Jiang was so angry that she fell backwards. If she pressed on, she would be disregarding the lives of the other infants.

"You are so sharp-tongued at such a young age. Come, slap him..."

She must be beaten so hard that she dared not refuse the injection.

Two maids came over, and Aunt Wang stood in front of Feng Chuchen, raising her voice and saying, "Madam Jiang, you can't force others to do things against their will. The baby is already dead, even if my eldest sister were alive, she couldn't save him."

Feng Chuchen looked at Mrs. Jiang coldly, without any fear.

She had a small stone in her right hand hidden in her sleeve. If the old woman dared to make a move, she would throw the stone at her ankle, causing her to fall and causing chaos in the room, so that she could escape easily.

In fact, she wanted to shoot Madam Jiang more. But it was winter, and Madam Jiang only had her hands and neck exposed, so shooting these places would easily expose her.

The old woman's jacket was above her heels and she was not wearing boots, so she was easy to be hit.

Just in case, Feng Chuchen always carried a few little finger-sized stones in her sleeves. She had tried it at home and found that it had a certain striking power within a distance of half a meter.

She was particularly reluctant to use this trick in this situation, as if she was discovered, it would be useless in the future.

Uncle Jiang's anxious voice came from outside the window, "Mother, Miss Feng has done her best." He then scolded the old woman, "Why don't you send Miss Feng out of the house?"

He was extremely anxious, but couldn't go into the delivery room.

Doctor Feng had just been commended by the emperor, and there were so many imperial doctors and female doctors watching. If word got out that my mother was forcing her like this, she would definitely be criticized.

Mrs. Jiang was woken up by her son and saw that Feng Chuchen was cold, resolute, and fearless, just like the young Doctor Feng...

She felt a little frightened, but didn't want to be frightened by a country girl, so she looked back at Feng Chuchen coldly.

Without the madam's order, the maid didn't dare to let Feng Chuchen leave.

During the stalemate, Doctor Zhou's voice sounded at the right time, "Mrs. Jiang, Grandma Jiang is awake."

Madam Jiang walked to the bedside. The old woman made way for Feng Chuchen and said, "Miss Feng, let's go."

Feng Chuchen looked back at Doctor Zhou. She had helped him.

In the carriage, Aunt Wang comforted her, "In this life, the incense will not burn, and the elder sister will not be able to give acupuncture. Don't blame the girl."

Feng Chuchen sighed and shook his head.

The slap just now almost hit her in the face.

Now everyone knows about it, but someone is forcing others to do it regardless of their lives. If Uncle Jiang didn't stop it and Dr. Zhou didn't call for help, she might have been beaten.

My aunt has gone through so much hardship and grievance along the way. I don’t know what kind of difficulties I will encounter in the future...

My aunt’s finger-snapping skills are so good, why has she never used them?
Maybe it was used at the most critical moment, but others don’t know about it.

After returning to the courtyard, Feng Chuchen washed up and lay down on the bed to rest.

Afraid that Feng Buji would worry, he did not tell him about the Jiang Mansion.

Madam Wen asked the maid to invite Aunt Wang to the main courtyard.

Hearing that Madam Jiang was so arrogant and unreasonable, Madam Wen curled her lips and said casually, "Miss Feng is young, so let her speak softly in the future to avoid being at a disadvantage."

They didn't dare to offend Minister Jiang's family and were unwilling to say anything bad about Madam Jiang.

Two days later, little girl Wen Ying caught a cold.

Feng Chuchen was invited to see the doctor. She prescribed two doses of herbal medicine and performed three bloodletting treatments. After seven days, the patient recovered.

Madam Wen sighed, "At such a young age, he is almost as good as Doctor Min from the Imperial Hospital. He is truly better than his teacher."

Imperial Doctor Min is good at treating colds.

Grandma Wen said, "My daughter-in-law has observed for so long that Miss Feng should be a prudent person. She is tight-lipped and won't say anything that shouldn't be said. You can let her treat my sister-in-law's illness."

Madam Wen nodded. "My uncle and Shu'er like that marriage very much and are afraid that it won't work out. If Shu'er gives birth to more sons, we will be extremely rich. But if she is not good at giving birth, she will suffer in the future..."

Grandma Wen whispered again, "There are rumors outside that Miss Feng's medical skills are not good, but she relies on the name of Doctor Feng to cheat people. Needless to say, it must have been spread by the Jiang Mansion."

Madam Wen said, "Some of Madam Jiang's actions are too despicable. Why bother to embarrass a little girl. If the incense is not burning in this life, the Yin Shen needle cannot be used. Everyone knows it.

"She must have seen that Doctor Feng lost her life saving someone, so she wanted to force Miss Feng to take the risk to save her grandson... People who don't know would think that Miss Feng can't perform magic needles, and that our family is bragging. Well, don't tell others that Miss Feng is a good doctor in the future. There's no need to offend that family."

In the blink of an eye, it was the beginning of winter.

On the eighth day of the first lunar month, there was a light snowfall, the wind was blowing, and it was even colder.
After dinner, Feng Chuchen took Feng Buji for a walk under the eaves.

The little guy was dressed like a ball, wearing a Liuhe hat, his little face was red from the cold, but he was full of energy.

In the past, he would spend most of his time lying on the kang in such cold weather, but now he spends fifteen minutes outside every morning, noon and evening.

Feng Chuchen had promised to teach him Tai Chi after the Chinese New Year. It would not only strengthen his body, but also be good for his future acupuncture. He would put a small needle on his hand and let him practice finger-snapping.

There were many copper thimbles of various sizes in the house, some of which he could wear.

Suddenly, a girl came running over in a hurry.

"Miss Feng, Aunt Wang, my grandmother's stomach is starting to hurt. She asked me to come and keep little brother Feng company, you guys go and do your work."

Feng Chuchen and Aunt Wang quickly picked up the things they had prepared and ran to Grandma's yard.
