Chapter 111 Drunken Fragrance Pavilion
Fifteen minutes later, Ye Yaoyao removed the silver needles.
"I feel a little better."
An Ruyi stretched and a look of surprise appeared on her face.
"Your meridians were severely blocked. Now that we've cleared some of the blockages and are allowing your blood and qi to flow, you'll feel more comfortable."
For best results, acupuncture should be performed once a week... well, ideally within seven days, combined with medicated baths and exercise. Results will definitely be seen within three months.
Ye Yaoyao offered the best treatment plan.
"Miss Ye, will you be able to lose weight like before within three months?" Xiao Qiu asked as she walked around and straightened An Ruyi's clothes.
"That depends on Sister An's constitution." Ye Yaoyao vaguely remembered An Ruyi's figure.
"The first stage is the hardest. Once you get through it, it will be easier to lose weight later."
An Ruyi looked at herself and realized that her hands couldn't even reach behind her waist.
"Losing two or three pounds in three months is not bad."
Ye Yaoyao smiled as she wrote the prescription.
"You can't tell the difference from two or three pounds, but if you follow my recipe, you should be able to lose fifty or sixty pounds within three months."
"That's a lot. If you calculate it this way, it should take about six months to recover to its original state!"
An Ruyi's eyes lit up, as if she could already see the original appearance.
[Host, An Ruyi wasn't exactly lightweight before.]
[She eats a lot of pork knuckle, so her plump figure is already quite good. With my treatment, she can definitely lose even more weight.]
"These are the methods for diet and some exercise; remember to follow them."
Ye Yaoyao handed the written paper to An Ruyi.
"You can eat meat every day?"
An Ruyi was incredulous, her voice rising several decibels. She was only given two slices of meat every three days, and her cousin was supervising her. This made her so hungry that she would sneak into the kitchen to eat a couple of pieces.
"A balanced diet of meat and vegetables is the way to maintain good health. It's best to eat under your supervision and not let any third party handle the food."
Ye Yaoyao couldn't say it outright, so she could only explain it this way.
"My meals will be arranged by Fifth Brother in my own courtyard, with Xiao Qiu overseeing them, so there shouldn't be any problems."
An Ruyi patted her chest and assured him, while Xiao Qiu nodded repeatedly beside her.
"Then come back for acupuncture and medicinal bath in seven days."
"Okay, little sister Yaoyao."
Ye Yaoyao glanced at An Ruyi's figure and realized that a sturdy bathtub needed to be custom-made.
After the two female guests left, Ye Yaoyao went out to her family's Drunken Fragrance Pavilion. Along the way, she could hear people talking about the Ye family.
It was lunchtime, and Ye Xiyao came out with her to check out the shop. The lobby of Zuixianglou was full of people.
"Have you heard? The fourth young lady of the Ye family is acting strangely; she might not be human."
A burly man dressed in coarse linen clothes spoke mysteriously, and the people next to him curiously came closer, with a piece of meat still between their chopsticks.
"Where did you hear that? What's so strange about it?"
"Exactly, what nonsense are you talking about? They're perfectly fine, how are they not human?"
"I only heard about it; they even say she's a jinx to her father!"
"How did you bring misfortune to your father? Tell me."
"Ever since Miss Ye came out of the coffin, strange things have been happening to the Ye family. Look, Master Ye was bitten all over by snakes in his sleep a while ago."
This time, he fell off the cliff and returned unharmed, while Lord Ye was inexplicably struck by lightning at home. All the misfortune has been transferred to Lord Ye.
"That does sound strange."
"Yeah! Most people would have been dead by now."
"Lord Ye should find a master to take a look."
"Old Madam Ye had already sought help, but the Taoist priest said that the thing possessing Miss Ye was too powerful to deal with. Look! She's been sent to a nunnery to eat vegetarian food and chant Buddhist scriptures."
"So the Ye family's troubles are because of Ye Yaoyao."
The two sisters stood at the top of the stairs, listening to the gossip.
“Miss, these people are talking nonsense. I’ll go and teach them a lesson.”
Fu Ling was so angry that her face turned pale, and she clenched her fists tightly, about to rush over to argue.
Ye Xiyao quickly pulled her back, "Don't be impulsive. These people don't know the truth. Someone is ruining my reputation. Arguing won't stop the root cause."
"Hmm! It must be that my scumbag father's family hired people to ruin my reputation."
"Gentlemen, you are all very wrong to say that."
A man dressed in blue stood up from the corner and spoke loudly, and everyone looked at him.
"Miss, that man looks like a scholar."
Fu Ling was moved that someone had stood up for Ye Yaoyao.
"Where did we say something wrong? What are your thoughts, sir?"
"I am new to the capital and have witnessed the crimes committed by the servants of the Ye family. The government has issued a notice of punishment. Is this true?" The man asked calmly, his voice clear and resonant.
"Of course." Everyone nodded in agreement.
"The Master did not speak of strange phenomena, physical prowess, disorder, or spirits. Old Madam Ye has failed in managing her household and has lapsed in conduct. What does her going to the nunnery for quiet contemplation have to do with Miss Ye?"
The man spoke with a firm and resolute voice.
“Yes! The crimes committed by the Ye family are real.” A murmur arose from the crowd.
"Then... what about Lord Ye's matter?"
The scholar analyzed unhurriedly:
"In my humble opinion, standing in an inappropriate position during a thunderstorm is somewhat dangerous. Perhaps there was something dangerous that could attract lightning next to you, Lord Ye."
"Impossible! There are no such coincidences!" the burly man in coarse cloth shouted.
"Have you ever seen anyone fall off a cliff and come out unscathed?"
“We were not involved and we don’t know what happened. We shouldn’t spread rumors without any basis.”
“This young master is right,” the crowd echoed. Seeing no one respond, the burly man glared at the man and demanded:
"Does the young master know anyone from the Ye family?"
The scholar shook his head and smiled:
"I am a newcomer here, how could I possibly know people from such distinguished families?"
[System, this scholar's information.]
[You've arrived, host.]
Lu Yuanyou, a native of Changping Town, was originally the son of a wealthy merchant. He went to the capital to take the imperial examination for love.
Changping Town, that's the same town as that scumbag father. Which woman is so wonderful that she can make that playboy settle down? Looks like she's not a bad person after all.
Ye's hometown was where Ye Mian was sent on official business for a month two years ago, and they went back together to pay respects to their ancestors.
"You scholars are not the most particular about etiquette, integrity, and filial piety. It is inevitable that Madam Ye, who comes from a humble background, would not be able to manage her household well."
"She's getting old, and yet she still has to go through all this trouble to go to a nunnery. I've heard that the matriarch of the Ye family can't tolerate her mother-in-law."
"Is there something you haven't heard about?"
"Who do you think will benefit the most after Old Madam Ye leaves?" the burly man continued to shout gruffly.
When it came to filial piety, the scholar didn't know how to begin.
"What do you mean by gaining or losing? Madam Ye is the head of the Ye family. A country woman who doesn't know anything gives orders blindly. After such a big mess happened, Madam Ye had to clean up the mess."
"Who sent you here to spout nonsense? Our entire family understands this perfectly well. Who gave you the right to incite people and speak ill of someone's wife?"
A handsome young man entered from outside, and these words came from his mouth.
