Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Wen Jinzhang had alway been fair so he frowned when he heard Old Mrs. Wen. “Mom, don’t say such things. There are no signs of Ruanruan being poisoned or set up. How could this have anything to do with Shuying and Wanwan?”

Old Mrs. Wen sighed. “I didn’t say they set her up. But their elements are against our little precious.”

“I went to Hong’an Temple a while ago and calculated Ruanruan and Ye Wanwan’s Eight Characters (Birthdays). Ruanruan’s five elements have plenty of Fire and favor Water but Ye Wanwan’s five elements lack in Metal and hate Fire. Basically, they clash with each other.”

“In the past, they were fine when my little precious gave in to her all the time. But when my little precious goes against her, and as you see it for yourself today, they keep fighting.”

“She said my little precious wouldn’t let her come back in the car when she was the one who went to give chocolates to her male schoolmate. Then, she crushed my little girl’s pride by saying that she couldn’t play the piano. You heard it yourself. Did my Ruanruan play horrendously?”

“Now, even you can’t find the cause of her illness. She is suffering so much. So, as her father, you better come up with a solution quickly!”

Wen Ruan’s fair fingers tugged on Wen Jinzhang’s sleeves gently and she shook her pale face. “Dad, I am fine. I will just agree with Sister Wanwan for everything in the future…”

She bent over and started heaving even before she finished speaking. She looked as pale as paper and it made his heart ache.

As a doctor of traditional chinese medicine, Wen Jinzhang could naturally see that Wen Ruan was really unwell. She couldn’t have acted out these physical conditions, but he simply couldn’t find the cause.

He didn’t believe in these things but his mother did. He hesitated and thought that sometimes the elders’ beliefs might not be wrong.

“I shall ask Shuying and Wanwan to move to Jinyuan Apartment tonight.”

Old Mrs. Wen waved her hand. “Quickly send them away so my little precious doesn’t have to suffer.”

…

Liu Shuying and Ye Wanwan were shocked when they heard that Wen Jinzhang wanted to send them back to Jinyuan.

“Uncle Wen, you are the one who asked us to move here and now you are sending us away?”

Wen Jinzhang told them about Wen Ruan’s body conditions.

“She must be pretending!”

Liu Shuying looked at Ye Wanwan who was still young and couldn’t control herself. She scolded her quickly. “Shut up!”

Liu Shuying had already realized everything that happened tonight was planned by Wen Ruan. It seemed that her motive had been to chase them out.

Although Wen Jinzhang looked like a gentleman and easy to negotiate with, he was actually very principled.

He wouldn’t change his decision easily after he had decided.

Although Liu Shuying didn’t know why Wen Ruan changed so drastically, she knew that they had to retreat for now.

“Jinzhang, I can understand your feelings. Wanwan and I will leave now. You take good care of Ruanruan.”

Liu Shuying looked at Wen Jinzhang with sad eyes. “Actually, I know that Old Madam doesn’t like me and Wanwan. I have caused you all trouble for this period of time. But, I am worried about Ruanruan. After all, I am the one who brought her up. She has alway been fine in the past. Why did she suddenly have such a weird illness as soon as she got close to Old Madam?”

Before Wen Jinzhang could say anything, Liu Shuying took Ye Wanwan upstairs to pack.

…

Wen Jinzhang sent them away personally.

Once the car left the manor, Wen Ruan took out the acupuncture bag from under her pillow and swiftly placed a few needles on her acupuncture points.

Old Mrs. Wen looked at Wen Ruan with a light shining in her eyes. “This set of ‘Nine Row Needles’ was the special acupuncture technique developed by your grandfather when he was still alive. It requires an exceptional talent to master it. This technique not only can save lives, it can also seal up the acupuncture points and create a sickly appearance.”

“Little precious, even your dad couldn’t master it, how would you know how to do it? Didn’t you say you are not interested in learning medicine and inheriting the family’s business?”

Wen Ruan held Old Mrs. Wen’s hand and said softly, “Grandma, have you forgotten that when he was still alive, Grandpa said that I am talented? I was rebellious and naive in the past, but it doesn’t mean that I don’t know these techniques!”

After hearing Wen Ruan, Old Mrs. Wen was immensely touched. She said with a gleam in her eyes, “Your Grandpa’s legacy can be carried forward now. How happy would he be if he was still alive!”
