Chapter 2579

"I don't know," Zhu Renjie shook her head slightly. She truly didn't understand why Zhu Yanyi wouldn't let her use iron needles.

"Because you are my nephew, using iron needles would make people look down on you. So from the very beginning, you must learn with silver needles. I have another set here. I will give it to you after I finish the surgery on your grandfather."

She continued, "Also, I have a movable model here for you too. You can practice acupuncture with gold needles on it. If you prick the wrong spot, the model will stiffen. If you prick the right spot, it will become soft and limp, as if you have saved it. This was a toy I made for my disciples early on. I will give it to you later."

"Thank you, Great-Aunt," Zhu Renjie said quickly.

A smile appeared in Zhu Yanyi's eyes. "Your grandfather's meridians are blocked. So, we just need to use gold needles to connect them. Actually, this is just a small surgery."

Zhu Yanyi then took out a set of gold needles. She performed the Thirteen Needles of Reviving Dead Wood. For Zhu Yanyi, it was very simple. Now, she was already very familiar with the Nine Needles of Yanluo, and she had even made progress with the One Needle of Returning Yang.

Although Zhu Renjie didn't know traditional Chinese medicine, watching Zhu Yanyi display the gold needles made her feel like she was watching an art dance. It was smooth and had an indescribable natural beauty.

After Zhu Yanyi withdrew the last gold needle, she began massage therapy.

Zhu Zhibin's legs had atrophied a bit because he hadn't moved them for a long time, so they needed good massage.

During the massage, Zhu Yanyi injected spiritual energy into Zhu Zhibin's legs. So, Zhu Zhibin only felt her leg sensation slowly returning. When the massage was done, Zhu Yanyi felt nothing, but Zhu Zhibin felt sweaty all over. Moreover, the sweat stains looked a bit dark.

Zhu Zhibin went to take a bath. When he came out, Zhu Renjie beside him was stunned. "Grandpa, you look much younger."

Indeed, Zhu Zhibin originally looked only forty or fifty years old. Now, he seemed to look only in his thirties.

Zhu Zhibin also saw his current appearance in the dressing mirror nearby. He didn't expect his sister's massage skills to have such a big effect.

Seeing that Zhu Zhibin was ready, Zhu Yanyi brought out a large basin of dumplings. "It's rare for us to gather for a few days. Come, let's eat dumplings quickly."

Each of the four people had a bowl. They prepared their own dipping sauces and started eating dumplings.

Nodding while eating, Zhu Zhibin said, "Over the years, what I missed most was my sister's cooking. I didn't expect to eat it again today."

"This wasn't made by me. It was made by your brother-in-law," Zhu Yanyi said with a smile. "I rarely cook now. Your brother-in-law can't bear to let me do it."

"After all these years, Sister, you show off your love with your husband as soon as you arrive. Are you trying to embarrass me, your younger brother?" Zhu Zhibin said with a smile.

She had once had feelings for Nuan Nuan, but in the face of interests, Nuan Nuan chose interests. So, those feelings were long gone. Therefore, saying "embarrass" now was just a joke.

Zhu Yanyi looked at Zhu Zhibin and said, "Doumiao, your brother-in-law and I won't stay here for long. Why don't you come with us?"

Hearing Zhu Yanyi's words, Zhu Zhibin paused for a moment. "Actually, the only people in this world I can't let go of are Renjie and her father and sons. Once I arrange things for them, I will leave with my sister and brother-in-law."

Staying here was meaningless. It was better to leave.

Zhu Yanyi thought for a moment and then said, "Renjie and the others, how do you plan to arrange them?"

"Actually, I don't need to worry about my sons at all. They already have their own careers. And Xibei, as the Emperor, cannot harm meritorious officials. And since I, who was the biggest threat to him, am leaving, they naturally won't be in danger. I just wonder if we should make Xibei feel guilty towards us. In that way, he will only protect the Zhu family."

Since Zhu Zhibin's legs were healed, all her wisdom had returned. Since Yan Aohan and Zhu Yanyi no longer recognized Yan Xibei as their son, it didn't stop her from calculating against her.

"What do you plan to do?" Zhu Yanyi looked at Zhu Zhibin, her face calm. She wanted to see how Zhu Zhibin would handle it.

Zhu Zhibin said, "Let Renjie go back. Tell the people in the capital that I have been cured, and that you and your husband cured me. You then take me away.

Also, Sister and Brother-in-law, can you hide the house here? Make it look like you erased our traces."

Zhu Yanyi nodded slightly. "Of course. I can set up an illusion array here so people can't find our old house. It will look like a small forest rising from flat ground, but this forest will be covered in fog all year round. No one can walk in."

Zhu Zhibin nodded. "Since Sister has this ability, it is best. I just want you to set up this for all the places we stayed and lived. We won't leave any traces. In the future, no matter what Yan Xibei does, it has nothing to do with us. Thus, he will surely remember things from childhood. People only think about what they had when they lose it. Out of this guilty conscience, the Zhu family will naturally be safe. I will leave words for my sons, telling them to go with the flow. If they can't get something, filed it away without dwelling. Just live their lives well."

Zhu Yanyi chuckled lightly. "Okay, we can do as you say. But I think what you are doing is not enough."

Zhu Yanyi said calmly, "She was once our son. Since she doesn't acknowledge the past, I will make her know that she is no longer our son. We don't want her as a son."

"Just treat it as raising an ungrateful wolf," Yan Aohan said calmly. "I will go see him once and end all relationships. As for the future, he and we will be strangers."

Zhu Yanyi hummed. "I think so too."

Seeing that his sister and brother-in-law had decided, Zhu Zhibin quickly said, "Then I will go with my sister and brother-in-law."

Zhu Yanyi nodded, then said to Zhu Renjie, "Renjie, stay for seven days. I will try to teach you some daily medical skills during these seven days. If you have any questions, you can ask me. After seven days, you can leave."

"Yes, Great-Aunt." Zhu Renjie actually didn't want to leave, but she knew that someone like Zhu Yanyi couldn't stay here forever.

Zhu Yanyi nodded, then remembered the old man who had hosted them. She said to Yan Aohan, "By the way, Husband, you need to handle the old man's house where we stayed."

"I will go right away. I will erase their memories of us," Yan Aohan nodded.
