Chapter 354: Chapter 354 Jing Family Makes a House Call

Luo Qiao broke into laughter at once, admiring the color of the wool scarf. Indeed, it looked good with any outfit. Luo Qiao said with a smile, "It’s very pretty, thank you!"

Since Yuan Jiahui, the eldest grandson from the first branch, was in the military, Luo Qiao handed over the items to Auntie Song Huizhen to pass on to him. The gifts for the second branch were given directly to the fourth brother, Yuan Jiayi, to take back home.

The gift for Wei Cheng, the younger uncle, would have to wait until he came back to collect it himself.

After eating, Old Master Yuan took Luo Qiao and left, Yuan Jiayi saw that there was nothing for him to attend to, so he also took his things and went home. Jia Ning still had a day left in the dance class she had signed up for, and she could rest tomorrow.

As for Yuan Jiaze, starting from today he would have to join the other kids in the big compound for a six-day joint military training, only returning on New Year’s Eve.

Old Master Yuan took Luo Qiao all the way to a grand mansion. One could tell from the imposing gate that this family was anything but ordinary. They had called ahead, and as the doorbell rang, someone promptly opened the gate.

A man in his forties greeted them: "Old Master Yuan, please come inside quickly. My elder has been waiting for you for some time."

The courtyard was indeed massive, with pavilions and towers standing throughout - it reminded Luo Qiao of the grand estates from the olden days that she had often seen on TV. Aside from visiting tourist sites, this was truly her first time stepping foot in such an expansive courtyard.

They proceeded to the main hall, where a middle-aged man was already waiting at the door. Upon seeing the visitors, he greeted, "Uncle Yuan, my father has been awaiting your arrival for quite some time now," and then also gave a slight nod to Luo Qiao and the security guards following behind.

Old Master Yuan said with a smile, "How has your father been feeling recently?"

The man spoke in a low voice, "Not too well, he hasn’t eaten properly for several days."

Once inside, Old Master Yuan made a brief introduction of Luo Qiao’s identity, and after everyone was seated, he then began to converse with his old friend. The Jing Family looked at Luo Qiao with disbelief.

Could this be the expert whom Old Master Yuan had spoken of, the one who could alleviate their patriarch’s leg ailment? Their faces were a spectacle of emotions as they each conveyed their thoughts through their expressions. Luo Qiao almost burst into laughter.

The group sitting opposite must have sensed Luo Qiao’s gaze as they all nodded and acknowledged her politely.

After conversing with Elder Jing for a few moments, Old Master Yuan then called Luo Qiao over, "Qiaoqiao, please examine Grandpa Jing’s condition."

Luo Qiao approached Elder Jing and first took his pulse, then had the Jing family members help roll up the elder’s trousers.

Elder Jing was wearing high-quality garments, not ordinary cotton pants but rather elasticated thermal ones, likely brought from abroad.

Luo Qiao had never seen such trousers in the country, though she admitted she might be ignorant of such things. In any case, the pants looked anything but cheap, yet they were surely comfortable to wear given their snugness and warmth.

Upon examining Elder Jing’s knees, Luo Qiao realized they were in even worse shape than Elder Zhong’s - the knees were swollen with effusion, a clear sign of complications likely due to rheumatism and arthritis. It seemed probable that Elder Jing also had severe meniscus damage.

Luo Qiao asked the Jing family to prepare alcohol and gauze, and after taking out the Silver Needle, Elder Jing’s daughter, Jing Fangqing, asked, "Luo Qiao, you’re confident, right?"

As Luo Qiao continued her work without interruption, she replied indifferently, "What exactly are you referring to?"

Jing Fangqing continued, "My father’s leg condition has been examined by nearly every notable doctor in Capital City over the years. They could only provide temporary relief, and though he’s had acupuncture before, it has never cured him."

Luo Qiao responded, "I understand your concerns, but not all relief is the same. Rather than taking my word for it, you would do better to see the results for yourself."

As she concluded, the first Silver Needle was skillfully sterilized and inserted. One after another, three needles in total, she meticulously placed all the needles needed for both knees. Luo Qiao then gently massaged the lower legs. Elder Jing’s legs had been numb for many years.

After massaging for a while, Luo Qiao channelled her Wood-Based Special Ability on acupoints such as the Zusanli, Shangjuxu, and Xiajuxu. The gentle Special Ability flowed through these points into the meridians, easing Elder Jing into such comfort that his furrowed brow began to unfold.
