"Of course," Tao Lengshuang rolled her eyes. "You all need to understand that the opponent can't have more than one mother蛊 unless it's a special kind, which would only have one."
"However, I can make a sachet to resist most蛊 worms."
Mo Lingxi had already made up his mind. "First, make the蛊 worms dormant. For the rest, once I gather all the necessary items, I'll ask for your help to eliminate the opponent's mother蛊."
Tao Lengshuang replied, "Take off your clothes."
The young man clutched his collar, looking at her like a female pervert, and retreated in fear. "You... how can you do this?"
Mo Lingxi shot a cold, knife-like gaze at Tao Lengshuang.
Tao Lengshuang: "...Are you and your nephew's brains not quite right?"
"I need to administer acupuncture. If you don't take off your clothes, how can I do it? I'm not some immortal being who can see the acupoints through clothes and administer needles accurately."
If it weren't for the potential payment for curing this person, she would have quit long ago.
Mo Lingxi frowned, looking displeased.
The young man trembled, waving his hands vigorously. "No, no, no, there's a difference between men and women, this isn't appropriate, truly not appropriate."
Didn't he see his uncle staring at him with murderous intent?
Tao Lengshuang's mouth twitched, feeling utterly speechless. "I, a woman, don't find it a problem, why are you, a grown man, being so fussy?"
"Besides, in the eyes of a doctor, there's no distinction between men and women, only patients."
She then muttered softly, "I'm not trying to take advantage of you or anything, nor do I want to see your meager flesh. Why are you acting like a chaste maiden?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere in the main hall instantly turned cold.
Mo Lingxi's face darkened like ink, and the young man cowered behind his attendant, wishing he could cry.
Tao Lengshuang touched her nose, forcibly changing the subject. "Are you going to be treated or not?"
"The longer this蛊 worm stays in the body, the greater the harm to the human body. Moreover, if not treated promptly, and the condition is prolonged, instead of dying from poisoning, the internal organs will be completely gnawed away by the蛊 worm."
Mo Lingxi took a few deep breaths, warned her with his eyes, and motioned for the young man to undress and lie on the kang.
"Uncle, this, this isn't very good, is it?"
Upon seeing Mo Lingxi's dark face, the young man obediently took off his clothes and lay on the kang.
He was indeed thin, his skeletal structure clearly visible, and the veins on the back of his hands could be seen.
"Your uncle's body is stronger than yours... woo woo woo!"
Tao Lengshuang glared at Mo Lingxi, who suddenly covered her mouth. What was he doing? Why was this man suddenly covering her mouth?
The veins on Mo Lingxi's forehead throbbed, and he said through gritted teeth, "If you dare to spout any more nonsense, you'll be careful."
Tao Lengshuang flinched and indicated with her eyes that she wouldn't say anything inappropriate again.
Mo Lingxi released her hand, once again suspecting that this woman was doing it on purpose, deliberately provoking the relationship between him and his nephew to achieve some goal.
However, based on recent interactions and observations, it seemed Tao Lengshuang was not as he suspected, but he still had many doubts to uncover.
For example, why was someone repeatedly targeting and calculating against her, and where did she learn her medical skills?
Tao Lengshuang smiled ingratiatingly and then focused on administering acupuncture to the young man, along with providing some precautions.
Such as avoiding significant emotional fluctuations and not eating overly nutritious food.
The reason he was so thin was that most of his nutrients were absorbed by the蛊 worm, which also released toxins.
Eating too nutritiously would only make the蛊 worm more harmful to him.
After the acupuncture, she wrote a prescription. "Once you bring me all the things I need, I can begin to remove the蛊 worm, or deal with the mother蛊."
The young man thanked her and carefully put away the prescription. Suddenly, he felt his spirits improve considerably.
He tried walking a few steps on his own and looked at Tao Lengshuang in surprise. "Doctor, your medical skills are truly excellent. I can actually walk a few steps now."
Could it be that his uncle married the doctor because of her medical skills?
Tao Lengshuang explained that it was because the蛊 worm had fallen dormant and was no longer continuously tormenting him, which was why his condition had temporarily improved.
"The rest is not my concern."
She waved her hand and went to accompany her son.
The young man glanced outside and lowered his voice. "Uncle, she's actually quite good."
"An illusion."
Mo Lingxi frowned, his voice slightly cold. "Didn't I tell you not to trust anyone easily, and to always maintain vigilance and a hint of suspicion towards everyone?"
Hearing this, the young man tensed up and quickly bowed. "Nephew remembers Uncle's teachings and will never do so again."
Mo Lingxi also knew his nephew's temperament and couldn't help but give him a reminder. "When you get back, pretend to be even weaker. Be wary of even those close to you."
"The fact that someone could place a蛊 on you means there's a spy among your close circle."
The young man was also aware of this, his eyes sharpening slightly. "I have a few suspects and am still investigating."
"Even if I find out who it is, I won't deal with them yet."
Mo Lingxi nodded approvingly. "I can't always be by your side. You need to pay more attention yourself. Endure when you need to. Now is not the time to be reckless."
The young man clenched his fists, his face showing unwillingness and resentment. "The country is in chaos everywhere, but the court only cares about pleasure-seeking. There are few who truly care for the nation and the people, and yet they are suppressed."
Mo Lingxi patted his shoulder, his eyes filled with a chilling coldness. "This is all temporary."
"You..."
Before he could finish speaking, he heard a cry.
"Tao Lengshuang, you wicked creature, you'll be struck by lightning!"
Just as Mo Lingxi was about to deal with the Tao family, he saw Tao Lengshuang storming out with a chopping knife and decided to watch.
Tao Lengshuang rushed forward and swung her knife. "You dare to come to my house and howl? See if I don't chop you to death today."
The Tao family elders, who were covered tightly, only revealing their eyes, screamed and retreated in fear as they saw Tao Lengshuang charging at them with a chopping knife.
"Murder! Murder! Tao Lengshuang is killing people!"
The surrounding neighbors didn't even want to watch the excitement, all worried about the construction of the royal villa.
Tao Lengshuang swung the chopping knife a few times, looking menacingly at the Tao family. "If you dare to howl again, I'll make you wish you were dead."
The Tao family elders were truly afraid that Tao Lengshuang would kill someone, so they all stood at a distance.
"Tao Lengshuang, I raised you for over a decade. Now it's time for you to repay my nurturing kindness."
Tao老爷子 shouted in a feigned stern voice, "Give me twenty taels of silver, or have Mo Lingxi help me build the royal villa, otherwise I'll come to your house and cause trouble every day."
"I won't even spare the night, I'll make your home restless and ensure you have no good days."
