A second chance with my billionaire husband

Chapter 1342 - 259: Moral Coercion Won’t Let Go (Fourth Update)

If the two are okay, it’s all right, but if something happens, she won’t be able to clear herself of suspicion, and all the blame will be thrown on her. However, Lu Yuke clearly overlooked one thing; she is Ji Yunya, she is Nyx, a genius doctor. A slight pulse check earlier, and she already knew the condition of the old man’s health.

Zhuang Xiyue squinted her eyes and said coldly, "Aunt, what do you mean by this?"

Lu Yuke sighed, "I didn’t mean anything else, it’s just that seeing Dad like this, I feel really heartbroken. I’m also worried about Dad’s health, I spoke carelessly, Yueyue, I hope you don’t take it to heart..." Yun Ya thought, would this woman truly apologize?

Sure enough, she changed her tone and said, "The first day of the New Year has been nothing but trouble; I think we need to invite a mage to take a look at the house... to see if something clashed..."

Yun Ya thought to herself, the routine is the same; next, won’t Lu Yuke invite a mage to perform some pretend ritual at home and then point out that she, Ji Yunya, clashes with the Yan Family fortune, harming the old man? People are inherently superstitious, and by then, she’ll be caught in rumors, disliked by everyone in the Yan Family, and the old man surely won’t like her anymore...

Manipulating people’s minds, this move is truly vicious!

Yan Nanmo’s cold eyes narrowed slightly, "Aunt, what era is it now? How can you still believe in those outdated beliefs? Are you trying to put my brother and me in an unfair position?"

Lu Yuke said helplessly, "The traditions passed down for thousands of years still have some reason. For the sake of the old man’s health and the peace of the family, what harm is it for you to make some sacrifices? Is the old man and this family not as important as your official positions?"

This moral coercion rendered Yan Nanmo speechless for a moment. He snorted coldly, "Of course, my grandfather’s health is more important than our positions, but that can’t be the reason for Aunt’s superstition. If Grandpa is ill, he should see a doctor. All this talk of clashing is nonsense. It’s the 21st century, a scientific society. Aunt, do not foment superstition, it’s subject to complaints."

"I don’t know anything about spreading feudal thoughts; my starting point is only for Dad’s health and the family’s well-being. Lao San, you hold a high position, I, Lu Yuke, can’t reach, I just hope for Dad’s health and peace at home."

Pei Ying sighed, "What elder sister-in-law said isn’t wrong. For the peace of the family, it’s better to invite a mage to take a look. There’s still some reason to it... at least for Dad’s health, we should try..."

Zhuang Xiyue sneered, "Shouldn’t sick people be taken to the hospital? Inviting a mage, it’s simply ridiculous. What era are we in now that people still believe in this..."

Yun Ya suddenly said, "May I say a word?"

The moment she spoke, all eyes were instantly drawn to her. Yun Ya smiled confidently and said, "Grandfather passed out due to elevated blood pressure; it’s not serious. I have studied traditional Chinese medicine and can perform acupuncture for Grandfather, and he will quickly regain consciousness."

Yan Guobai snorted, "You, a young girl, dare to boast about performing acupuncture on the old man? What if something happens to him? Can you bear the responsibility?"

Lu Yuke shook her head, "Yun Ya, I know you feel uneasy, but the old man’s health isn’t a joke. It’s better to wait for the doctor."

Yun Ya smiled, "Does Aunt think I’m joking?"

Lu Yuke furrowed her brows, "The old man’s health can’t be taken lightly. You’re still a child; even if you studied medicine in the United States, you lack clinical experience. You can’t use the old man as an experiment..."

Zhuang Xiyue held Yun Ya’s hand and said softly, "I believe in Yun Ya."

Lu Yuke furrowed her brows, "Yueyue, I know you’re fond of Yun Ya, but this involves the old man’s safety; don’t get carried away by emotions."

"Yes, Yun Ya is smart, but after all, she lacks experience. Better to wait for the ambulance..." Pei Ying also advised.

Zhuang Xiyue firmly said, "No matter what happens, I’ll take responsibility alone, without implicating any of you."

"Yueyue, you... sigh, I don’t know what to say to you." Lu Yuke shook her head helplessly.

Yun Ya called out, "Come in."

Ah Yun walked in, handing a cloth bag to Yun Ya, who spread it open to reveal a row of silver needles inside.

Yan Guobai suddenly shouted, "This is simply nonsense. Letting a young girl perform acupuncture on Dad, what if something happens to him? Father-in-law of Lao San, you can’t bear the responsibility alone."

Yun Ya narrowed her cold eyes and instructed Yan Fu, "Please lay Great-Grandpa flat on the bed."

Yan Fu trusted Zhuang Xiyue very much, and without saying a word, he and Yan Song helped the old man to the bed in the inner room, followed by a group of people.

Yun Ya picked up a silver needle, smiled at Yan Song, and then her hands moved like lightning, placing needles on several major acupuncture points around the old man. Her expression was uncharacteristically serious; the most crucial aspect of acupuncture is stability. As her mind focused, cold sweat gradually accumulated on her forehead. Yan Song wiped it off with a tissue, looking at her with concern.

Lu Yuke narrowed her eyes, her gaze cutting across Yun Ya’s fair profile.
