Chapter 1473
Zhu Yanyi felt speechless. "What nonsense are you talking? The dignified Yanluo of the Capital marrying into my family—aren't you afraid people will laugh at you?"
"Let them laugh. As long as you don't laugh at me, it's fine." Yan Aohan skillfully pulled Zhu Yanyi to sit beside him. "As long as you care for me, I don't fear any attacks from others."
Zhu Yanyi tapped Yan Aohan’s forehead. "Still saying that? If this gets out, people will think I’m a fierce tigress forcing you."
"Wife, just keep forcing me. I enjoy it." Yan Aohan looked as if being pushed by his wife was his greatest happiness.
Old Master Yan shook his head from the side. "You have no dignity as a man. If you act like this outside, people will look down on you."
"Let them talk. I am human, so I have emotions and desires. Besides, it’s none of their business if I act spoiled with my own wife. If anyone has too much free time to cause trouble, I’ll chop them up," Yan Aohan answered seriously.
Old Master Yan shook his head again. "Is there something specific that brought you back this time?"
"No, we just came to visit you," Yan Aohan said directly. "I was busy recently and only returned yesterday. Ani said that since we’re back, we must visit home, or it would be wrong. So we came."
"Has something important happened recently to keep you so busy?" Old Master Yan recalled that Yan Aohan had indeed been very busy. It wasn’t even halfway through the first half of the year, yet he had gone out several times. This matter must have been extremely demanding.
Yan Aohan nodded. "Some things happened, but they are under control now. The remaining loose ends are also in my hands."
"Do you know that General Rot has become your wife’s patient?" Old Master Yan asked.
"I know. Ani told me about it when I returned yesterday." Yan Aohan smiled slightly at Zhu Yanyi. Zhu Yanyi went to get the tea set. Since there was still time, she prepared tea for everyone to taste.
Old Master Yan nodded slightly. "This Rot is no good man. He is a warmonger. If he recovers, many countries will suffer."
Old Master Yan looked at Zhu Yanyi. "Yanyi, can you choose not to cure her illness?"
Zhu Yanyi shook her head slightly. "Dad, since she is my patient, how could I not treat her? Treatment must be done, but how to treat her is in my hands. Rest assured, I guarantee that General Rot will have no energy to wage war or invade others in the future."
"How will you do it?" Old Master Yan looked at Zhu Yanyi curiously.
Yan Aohan watched Zhu Yanyi with a smile, also wanting to hear her plan. Actually, Yan Aohan had his own plan. He originally intended to interfere after General Rot returned, ensuring he could no longer be warmongering. He hadn’t expected Zhu Yanyi to have similar actions in mind.
Zhu Yanyi smiled and said, "A patient should look like a patient. Even if the cancer cells are eliminated, the body cannot fully recover immediately. After returning to her country, she needs proper recuperation. I will control this recuperation period. It will last at least five, six, seven, or eight years. By then, even if she has grand ambitions, so many years will have passed, and there will be successors."
"Ani, you don’t know this Rot. As long as he has a breath left, he will plan military invasions," Yan Aohan reminded her.
Zhu Yanyi raised an eyebrow slightly. "Then I’ll give her a command: no invading others for ten years. She can only be a farmer. After ten years, once she is used to farming, it won’t be easy for her to return to power. Even if she has ambition, new generations will rise. Ten years later, it won’t be her world anymore. A commander without troops is useless."
"Can such a command be given?" Old Master Yan asked curiously.
Zhu Yanyi nodded, pointing to her head. "The human brain is a very interesting thing. If used appropriately, nothing is impossible. So, giving such a command is very simple and not difficult at all."
Zhu Yanyi smiled and continued, "Moreover, my interference is not something anyone can easily detect. Even her close aides beside her won’t notice my tricks, because I never give direct commands to the brain."
Zhu Yanyi’s acupuncture treatment never avoided Captain Charles. Instead, she let Captain Charles watch. In Captain Charles’s eyes, Zhu Yanyi’s acupuncture truly targeted the illness, because she saw her needling around the lung area. Therefore, she never stopped Zhu Yanyi from treating Rot with acupuncture.
In fact, Zhu Yanyi knew that all meridians in the human body connect to the brain. This is a two-way connection. Generally, the brain sends commands, and the hands and feet act consciously. Now, by influencing the brain through the hands and feet in reverse, this effect, although slow, is more acceptable and happens unconsciously and peacefully.
Even the patient himself wouldn’t suspect he has been given a command, because he would feel that these actions are the most suitable for him to take.
"So that’s why you wanted her to be a farmer for a week during treatment?" Yan Aohan understood Zhu Yanyi’s intention.
Zhu Yanyi nodded slightly again. "Yes. The benefit is that she will discover the advantages of farming through labor. Those with weak wills might even fall in love with rural life. Of course, General Rot’s will is much stronger than ordinary people’s. That’s why I extended the treatment time. First, to earn more money. After all, since she came to our Huaxia, she should spend more. Otherwise, if no one helps her spend the war money she earns, it’s not good. Second, I want to use subtle influence to bypass or tear through her strong will, attacking from the side. This way, she will feel that her change in will is due to the environment during her treatment."
"High praise," Old Master Yan gave Zhu Yanyi a thumbs up. "Worthy of being the daughter-in-law of the Yan family. Your actions are indeed decisive."
Zhu Yanyi grinned. "I dare to be so bold mainly because I have Aohan behind me. Anyway, that’s how I think. If there are any loopholes, Aohan will clean up the mess for me." She made a funny face, but she truly thought this way.
Yan Aohan looked at Zhu Yanyi gently and hugged her. "Ani is right. No matter what happens, I am behind you, so don’t be afraid."
Zhu Yanyi nodded seriously. "I think so too, and I’m not afraid. I’m thinking that since you are here, I don’t need to worry about anyone bullying me. Because I believe that if anyone bullies me, you will definitely help me get justice. So, I boldly went ahead."
