Showing great patience, Qiao Zhenzhen took a break from her busy schedule to answer Madam Hu: "Here, both sides are symmetrical."

She pointed to the back of her head, near her neck.

"Da, where's Ozui?"

"Here." She pointed to where the neck met the spine.

Madam Hu was shocked. "This... a needle this thick, and it's red hot. If you stick it in, it will kill you, right?!"

Lin shouted, "What do you want to do? Do you want to kill your mother-in-law? Come quickly, come quickly——"

Knowing that Lin was going to do something strange, Qiao Zhenzhen brought a lot of people with her today.

Those who were watching the people in the inner room and those who were blocking the door were all doing their job in an orderly manner.

Qiao Zhenzhen smiled gently: "Mother is confused because of her illness. How could I kill you in broad daylight in your bedroom? Don't worry, as long as the needles are inserted in these three places, the disease will be cured immediately, and you will not have to suffer this great pain.

Seeing you screaming in pain, your wife feels bad too."

While we were talking here, the needle was almost roasted.

The air was filled with a special smell of heated metal.

The needle, as thick as a sewing needle and bright red, looked quite scary.

"Come, help me lift my mother up."

Aunt Hu was pushed aside by Song Honggu.

Ruyi and another maidservant stepped forward and half dragged and half hugged Lin up from the bed.

Lin looked at the red-hot needle gradually approaching her.

Finally, he shouted in a trembling voice, "I'm fine! I don't have a headache anymore - I'm fine!"

Qiao Zhenzhen stopped approaching and said in surprise, "Is mother okay now?"

She even reached out and touched Lin's forehead, "Sure enough, you're sweating." She touched the back of her neck again and said with satisfaction, "You're sweating too."

"Take your needle away, take it away quickly!" Lin shouted.

Qiao Zhenzhen playfully waved the red-hot needle in front of her eyes.

Then he plunged it into the cup of water that Chengxin brought.

"Thorn-"

A puff of white smoke came out of the water cup.

Afterwards, Qiao Zhenzhen ordered someone to release Lin.

Lin collapsed on the bed.

Song Honggu moved away, and Nanny Hu hurried forward to check on Lin's condition.

Qiao Zhenzhen stood aside, her lips curved in a strange arc, "It shows that my treatment method is effective. Before the needle was inserted, mother's illness was more than half cured."

There was fear in Nanny Hu's eyes when she looked at her.

Lin said with some hatred and embarrassment, "You, you..."

"Mother, please be careful with your words. Insulting the princess is a crime." Qiao Zhenzhen said calmly.

"Of course, deceiving the princess is also a crime." She then added in a neither loud nor soft voice.

As soon as these words were spoken, Madam Hu immediately looked away.

Lin was so angry that he covered his chest.

"I saw that the prescriptions the court doctor gave to mother mostly contained herbs for nourishing qi and blood. I guess mother must have been tired from taking care of grandmother recently. But in my opinion, the court doctor should give you two more herbs for soothing the liver.

In order to prevent you from being angry, if mother doesn't want to serve grandmother, why don't you let me go and tell grandmother to stop serving her?"

"you you……"

"I'm just feeling sorry for my mother." Qiao Zhenzhen said with a wry smile.

The atmosphere in the room was very stagnant.

Qiao Zhenzhen didn't want to see this face again.

"Okay, no more joking. Mother, take a good rest for a few days. I will go back to Suiyuan first."

She led the people to the door, and suddenly turned back and smiled, "Mother, take good care of yourself. Your good health is the greatest blessing for me and the prince."

Qiao Zhenzhen is gone.

The Lin master and servant were left frustrated but helpless.

“Little devil star, this little devil star—” Lin cried, “My life is so miserable!”

"No, she is so unscrupulous relying on her status as a princess. I want to go before the Queen—"

Madam Hu interrupted her and said, "Madam, please think about your uncles from your mother's family..."

She pretended to be sick today, but Madam Hu didn't agree with it in the first place. Lin's fortune is in someone's hands, so she should stop acting like a troublemaker and just live a peaceful and quiet life like before. What's wrong with that?

Out of sight, out of mind. If you don't like this daughter-in-law, then meet her less often. Why bother to cause trouble?

Through observations over the past few days, Matron Hu discovered that Princess Fuhui was a person who would not provoke anyone unless they provoked her.

After all, he is not a difficult person to get along with.

We got along OK for a while before, but she was not as humble and pleasing as other daughters-in-law.

He was not the kind of person who would humble himself and serve his parents-in-law.

Seeing the young couple being so affectionate, Lin couldn't help but feel artificial.

But things are really different now than before.

Madam Hu: "Let's just hold off for now..."

Qiao Zhenzhen returned to Suiyuan and said to Han Zheng, "Mother is tired from serving grandma these days. I saw the doctor in the palace prescribe some medicines to replenish qi and blood."

Han Zheng was previously worried whether his mother was really sick.

Or maybe he's using his illness to make trouble for his wife.

I felt relieved after hearing what Qiao Zhenzhen said.

"It's okay."

"Well, if you take a good rest for a few days, you will be as energetic as before."

The matter ended just like that.

Qiao Zhenzhen did not tell him about the threat to Lin.

Han Zheng later learned about this matter from Lin Wan'er two days later.

If Lin Wan'er didn't try hard, she would never have met Han Zheng in the Duke's Mansion.

Since Han Zheng rarely hangs around the house alone, she was blocking his time to get off work.

"Cousin, go see Auntie. She hasn't been feeling well these past few days..."

Han Zheng didn't have a good impression of this cousin from his mother's family, so he was somewhat skeptical about what she said.

"Didn't the court doctor examine her and prescribe nourishing medicine? What's wrong with mother?"

When Lin Wan'er heard his tone, she felt something was wrong. In her cousin's mind, her aunt now seemed like an unreasonable person.

She lowered her eyes and slightly lowered her neck, pretending to be very obedient and submissive, and said, "I was fine at first, but last time... I was scared by my sister-in-law... so I haven't been feeling well these past few days."

"Scared?" Han Zheng frowned, "What's going on?"

I remembered that my wife came back from Anyuan with a calm attitude.

Could it be that something else happened that he didn't know about?

His heart skipped a beat. He knew his wife well. Although she smiled on the surface, she might do something out of line if he made her angry.

Lin Wan'er told Han Zheng what Qiao Zhenzhen had done that day.

"So these past two days, my aunt hasn't been able to sleep well. She's always had nightmares, saying that someone wants to harm her." She sighed softly, "Cousin, go see my aunt soon. She's worried that you'll be distracted from your work and that it will affect your relationship with your sister-in-law, so she hasn't let anyone tell you. It's me... I'm really worried... My aunt hasn't eaten much these past few days..."

After hearing this, Han Zheng thought to himself that it was indeed her daughter-in-law, and she was still so naughty.

But would it really be that serious if I just scared her with a needle?

"Well, I'll go to Anyuan with you."

When his mother said she was sick, he wanted to go to Anyuan to visit her, but his mother's people said it was not necessary.

Now he wanted to see what was going on.
