Rebirth of an Idle Noblewoman (1-200)

Chapter 88: Treatment

Jiang Shuxuan had personally vouched for her, and requested a favor from him. Even if he was doing it for Yin Shaoyuan, he would never refuse him.

But what made him shocked was that, for the sake of an unrealistic idea of a little girl, Jiang Shuxuan was willing to personally come to ask for a favor from him. The young master of the Jiang family really was paying a lot of attention and concern for this child.

Master Yin’s thoughts were running a mile an hour, but on the outside he remained calm and quiet. He was now satisfied from the bottom of his heart for the actions that Yin Shaoyuan had made unintentionally, bounding the child to his house before anyone else had realized her potential and sought to do the same. It would seem that the Yin family will not be going downhill in the next hundreds of years.

It didn’t hurt that he also approved of this doll of a girl.

After getting the agreement in words, Jiang Shuxuan let out a sigh of relief. He couldn’t help the sudden whim that Gu Xiqiao had, and so he could only retreat and head towards Yin Guofu instead.

She was still a child after all, one who didn’t consider things comprehensively. Didn’t she think about the fact that the old man had no reason to hand over the treatment of his arm to a child? And what would happen if she complicated the matter instead of healing him?

And so this was the only thing he could do, setting up a safety net for Master Yin because of her.

Gu Xiqiao wasn’t aware that Jiang Shuxuan had done so much for her without her knowledge, just that he hadn’t been breathing down her neck about her studying the medical texts that she had gotten. Even Mrs. Zhang had not lectured her recently, only reminding her to take care of her body. Gu Xiqiao still couldn’t adapt to their concerns, so she opted to stay mostly in the void space to discuss the treatment methods with the system.

[Beauty Qiao, don’t research anymore, I’ll go to the shop and find if there are any treatment options there,] The system spirit said, holding a book in its hands. Its expression clearly said that it was bored of looking through the many books with Gu Xiqiao, and its eyes lingered on her somewhat pleadingly.

Gu Xiqiao was sitting in the void space, surrounded by mountains of ancient texts. She flipped through the one in her hands quickly, tossing it aside once she was done. With a quick thought in her mind, another book would float to her hands. “It’s fine, go ahead and play your games, I’ll continue to look.”

The system spirit heard her words, but didn’t reject the idea. It had already been by Gu Xiqiao’s side for two weeks, and she had been studying the medical books without sleep in those two weeks. The system spirit felt like it was quite useless in this endeavour.

[Then, I’ll go ahead and play some games,] The system spirit said, disappearing immediately after from the void to play the game it had developed, Nine Heavens.

In the void, Gu Xiqiao continued flipping through the medical books, reading book after book. The speed that she was reading at was very fast, almost as though she was looking at ten sentences in one glance.

Even for people who had high mental power, your brain and memory would also get tired after continuously working at full capacity like this. Gu Xiqiao slowed down eventually, and she started to review each case study in the books. Every acupuncture point and needle pressure in the books were practised in her mind as she read.

Feeling that it was almost time, she left the void space.

Although countless months have passed in the void space, it was only a moment in reality. Gu Xiqiao first took a bath, feeling the mental fatigue fade as she refreshed herself. She could feel her mental reserves building back up, expanding even further than usual. The system who was in the void space shouted at that, [Beauty Qiao, how is your mental power rising more again, this doesn’t make sense in scientific terms!]
