Chapter 206: The Toxin Has Been Cleared
Professor Fang only wanted to clarify Gu Jiaojiao’s exam score; she truly had no other motive.
Seeing that Sheng Yueyue now had a good attitude about admitting her mistake, she just gave her a few token words of admonishment.
After the college entrance exam inspection team’s final discussion, Gu Jiaojiao’s score was declared the highest in the entire city.
As for Sheng Yueyue, she was only banned from taking the college entrance exam for three years with no other punishment. After all, she had powerful connections.
This was of no consequence to Sheng Yueyue. It didn’t matter. She had anticipated this outcome when she wrote Gu Jiaojiao’s name.
If it weren’t for those teachers who, chattering all at once, had threatened to send her to prison, she would have never confessed, not even if they beat her to death.
Mrs. Sheng had been on pins and needles the entire time and still hadn’t recovered even after returning home.
Mr. Sheng, on the other hand, went straight to his work unit. Out of sight, out of mind. Just as his younger son had said, the mere sight of Yueyue was enough to make him lose his appetite.
Gu Jiaojiao was still unaware of the grand drama Sheng Yueyue had orchestrated. She never took the initiative to harm or plot against others.
Thus, it never occurred to her that someone would want to harm her for no reason.
At that moment, she was taking Divine Doctor Jiang to see Song Zijie. Divine Doctor Jiang had changed into a clean Tang suit.
He had an ethereal and transcendent bearing, truly looking the part of a reclusive divine doctor.
Not at all like when they first met, when his clothes were ragged and he looked like he had just been dug out of a coal mine.
Gu Jiaojiao learned that Divine Doctor Jiang had gone to find medicinal herbs for Su Shuochi. Although she didn’t need them, she was still quite grateful in her heart.
At the same time, Divine Doctor Jiang was sizing up Gu Jiaojiao. The young woman’s complexion was rosy, no longer pale and weak as before.
Her eyes no longer held the same innocence; it was as if she had become a completely different person.
’The Sheng Family’s newspaper announcement disowning her must have been a huge blow. Adversity really makes a person grow.’
’If only I had still been in the compound back then, I wouldn’t have let that old coot, Divine Doctor Su Gu, snatch her up as an apprentice first.’
Divine Doctor Jiang was even more astonished after taking Song Zijie’s pulse.
"The Song family’s boy is out of danger. With another two months of recuperation, he’ll be alive and kicking."
"This is all thanks to Divine Doctor Su Gu, Professor Xia from the Imperial City, and He Shen Yi."
Uncle Song said with great excitement upon hearing Divine Doctor Jiang’s words.
"Uncle Song, Song Zijie and his sister can be discharged and rest at home. They just need to go to the hospital for their IV drips every day. Staying in a hospital ward all the time isn’t conducive to a patient’s recovery."
"The courtyard next to ours is ready. We’ll help Zijie walk over right now. As for the IV drips, we’ll still have to trouble Jiaojiao to help."
Uncle Song agreed to move without a second thought, but he didn’t want his son to go to the hospital for his IV drips.
He had also heard from his wife about what their eldest daughter did yesterday. His other children were still relatively obedient.
His eldest daughter had been married for many years, and her personality had completely changed. It was a great blessing that Gu Jiaojiao was still willing to treat his son and daughter without holding a grudge.
"That works too. We’re also planning to move out for the summer vacation," Gu Jiaojiao agreed to continue administering Song Zijie’s IV.
After all, she had plenty of medicine in her space. Being able to exchange it for money was a good option.
Selling medicine was much more profitable than selling rice, and they desperately needed money to build their factory recently.
Su Shuochi had said that she was the sole investor in this medical equipment factory, so she would be the boss in the future.
Everyone helped move Song Zijie and his sister next door. It was almost lunchtime again.
Divine Doctor Jiang then suggested taking Su Shuochi’s pulse. By this time, Su Shuochi had already arranged his work outside.
Upon returning to the courtyard, he was pulled into a patient room by Divine Doctor Jiang to have his pulse taken. The result left Divine Doctor Jiang utterly amazed.
His original hope was just to be content if Su Shuochi could carry on the family line.
But now, taking the pulse, Divine Doctor Jiang was utterly stunned by what he found. His eyes widened in shock, and he stood frozen to the spot, completely dumbfounded.
After a long moment, he exclaimed loudly, "Good heavens! Su Shuochi can’t just carry on the family line—there’s hope he’ll be able to stand up again!"
Lying on the hospital bed, Su Shuochi beamed at his wife, his gaze searing and hot.
Meanwhile, Gu Jiaojiao had already taken a box out of the canvas backpack she carried with her.
Inside the box were hundreds of fine silver needles, packed densely together, along with a bottle of medicine.
Gu Jiaojiao took a pill from the bottle and skillfully fed it into Su Shuochi’s mouth.
With a flick of her slender hand, she took out 18 silver needles and inserted them into 18 key acupoints on Su Shuochi’s body.
Her movements were extremely fast, yet every needle was perfectly precise.
Seeing this, Divine Doctor Jiang, who had practiced medicine for decades, felt ashamed of his own inferiority. He was filled with both admiration and regret.
Divine Doctor Jiang admired Gu Jiaojiao’s medical skills and regretted that such a talented prodigy had been intercepted by Divine Doctor Su Gu!
While Divine Doctor Jiang was still in a daze, the 18 silver needles turned jet black.
The toxins spread throughout Su Shuochi’s body gradually receded without a single drop of blood being shed, as if the poison had been drawn out by the silver needles.
"Jiaojiao, Divine Doctor Su Gu’s acupuncture technique is simply miraculous! Su Shuochi will be able to stand up soon, right?"
"Not that fast. This is just to detoxify him. The poison had almost seeped into his vital organs. It’s taken nearly a month to clear it all out."
"Comrade Xiao Su was poisoned?" Divine Doctor Jiang was completely shocked. He hadn’t seen it at all.
’No wonder none of the medicines he took had any effect. And Su Shuochi is still so young.’
’If my eldest son had suffered this injury, he probably would have gone to see King Yan long ago!’
"I actually didn’t realize it was poison. This poison is too incredible," Divine Doctor Jiang said, his eyes wide with astonishment.
"Yes, it’s a new type of poison. You can’t detect it by taking a pulse; we only found out after a blood test."
"I knew Divine Doctor Su Gu was skilled, but I never imagined he was *this* skilled."
"Hehe~ He’s decent, I suppose. It’s mainly because he has high-end medical equipment. You shouldn’t sell yourself short, elder."
Gu Jiaojiao offered a few words of sheepish consolation. She really did rely on advanced medical equipment.
When it came to performing surgery, no one at present could surpass her. In her past life, in a future era teeming with talent, she had been a top expert.
But in the field of traditional Chinese medicine, Gu Jiaojiao really wasn’t an expert. She was especially not proficient at taking pulses, relying mainly on instrumental analysis.
After finishing the acupuncture on Su Shuochi, Gu Jiaojiao drove Divine Doctor Jiang and Su Shuochi home for a meal.
She dropped Divine Doctor Jiang off first, then headed back to the Su family’s home. Just as Gu Jiaojiao turned the car around, she saw a large crowd gathered at the entrance to the Sheng Family’s courtyard.
"Su Shuochi, is Sheng Yueyue causing trouble again? Why else would so many people be crowded around their gate?"
"Does Jiaojiao want to go watch the excitement?" Su Shuochi asked with a grin, his eyes full of adoration.
"Better not. I’m feeling a little hungry," Gu Jiaojiao said, a bit embarrassed.
"Honey, don’t you have food in your space? Why don’t we grab a bite and then go watch for a little while?"
Su Shuochi knew Gu Jiaojiao’s preferences. She didn’t usually like to watch a spectacle, but she was very interested when it involved the Sheng Family.
"Since you want to watch, then we can have a snack to tide us over and go take a look."
Before Gu Jiaojiao could even finish speaking, she had already parked the car. She deftly took out some lemon chicken feet and a drink.
Just as she was savoring the tasty snack, she heard her mother’s furious voice. "Sheng Yueyue, you ungrateful wretch, get out here!"
