A second chance with my billionaire husband

Chapter 1343 - 260: Ill-Gotten Fame, Excellence in Medical Ethics (Second Update)

Zhuang Xiyue firmly said, "No matter what happens, I will bear it alone and not implicate any of you."

"Yueyue, you... sigh, what can I say to you," Lu Yuke shook her head helplessly.

Yun Ya called out towards the outside, "Come in."

Ah Yun stepped in, handed a cloth bundle to Yun Ya, who opened it to reveal a row of silver needles.

Yan Guobai suddenly shouted, "This is simply nonsense, having a little girl perform acupuncture on Dad. If anything happens to Dad, Third Sister-in-law, you can’t bear it alone."

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

Yan Fu trusted Zhuang Xiyue very much, and without a word, he and Yan Song positioned the old man on the bed inside, followed by a group of people.

Yun Ya picked up a silver needle, smiled at Yan Song, and then, with swift hands, inserted needles into several major acupoints around the old man’s body. Her expression was unusually serious. The most important thing in acupuncture is steadiness, aligning mind and action. Gradually, the cold sweat on her forehead increased. Yan Song held a tissue to wipe it off for her, looking at her with concern.

Lu Yuke squinted, her gaze slicing across Yun Ya’s fair profile.

Yun Ya withdrew the needles and whispered a few words to Yan Fu, then looked over at the crowd, her voice soft yet firm, "Instead of hiring a Mage, let me educate you a bit. Hypertension is characterized by an increase in systemic arterial blood pressure, accompanied by functional or organic damage to the heart, brain, kidneys, and other organs. It is common in the middle-aged and elderly. It results from arteriosclerosis causing blockage, leading to poor blood flow, and thus even higher blood pressure. This so-called disease is not really a disease if managed well; it won’t endanger life. The causes are mostly hereditary, neurological, and environmental, as well as lifestyle habits, although age also plays a role. The incidence increases with age... In severe cases, it can lead to stroke, myocardial infarction, and renal failure, among other serious diseases. Great-Grandpa’s health was robust before, but it has deteriorated since the year before last, actually due to secondary hypertension caused by diabetes."

Yan Fu looked at her in shock, "How do you know?" Very few people in the family knew the old man had diabetes.

Yun Ya smiled faintly, "Did you forget what I studied?"

Yun Ya’s gaze lightly swept across the audience, "Actually, the old man’s health has always been well controlled, as long as he doesn’t get too emotional, it won’t cause hypertension." After speaking, she walked over to Lu Yuke.

Lu Yuke curved her lips, "As long as the old man is fine, I’m relieved... but when will the old man wake up?"

Yun Ya did not answer her question; instead, she walked over to Meng Shujing and smiled, "Auntie, what perfume did you spray? It smells very nice."

Meng Shujing sniffed herself, but she couldn’t smell anything because she usually doesn’t like wearing perfume.

Yun Ya tilted her head, thinking carefully, and slowly said, "It seems to be the scent of bitter orange and immature orange peel. These are two traditional Chinese medicines, with a slight mix of acidic bitterness, refreshing and stimulating the mind. It’s the first time I’ve seen someone wear this kind of scent."

Lu Yuke’s eyes suddenly narrowed, her cold gaze scanning Yun Ya’s back.

Meng Shujing frowned, "What are Kong Sect or immature orange peel? I don’t know what these are."

"Auntie’s scent, Auntie doesn’t even know? More importantly, pharmacological studies have confirmed that these two traditional Chinese medicines have a hypertensive effect. Normally, people using them are okay, but for patients like Great-Grandpa with secondary diabetes, it’s very likely to cause an increase in blood pressure. Auntie has been serving the old man just now, and he’s been smelling that scent; naturally, his body couldn’t take it...."

Meng Shujing’s face changed dramatically, "Impossible...."

Zhuang Xiyue glanced at Lu Yuke, sneering, "Auntie, it turns out the cause was Sister-in-law’s doing. I was wondering why Grandpa just fainted out of the blue. Heh... someone who doesn’t know might really think it was our Yun Ya’s fault, poor Yun Ya, what did she do to deserve this...."

Lu Yuke laughed lightly, "Yun Ya, what do you understand as a little child? Let’s wait for the doctor to come."

"In front of Great-Aunt, I seem indeed a bit young. If Great-Aunt doesn’t trust me, she can surely have a traditional medicine doctor come to determine whether what I said is true or false."

At this moment, Yan Fu led an old man inside, his hair graying, carrying a medical kit, wearing glasses, entering with a stern demeanor.

"This is Doctor Hua. He’s been treating the old gentleman previously, so he’s most familiar with the old gentleman’s health," Yan Fu introduced.
