Chapter 249 -250: The Child’s Head Has a Silver Needle
Jhiang Yijia thought about how these past few days, the child had always been crying inexplicably and wanted to ask Shao He for help to see if there was anything uncomfortable with the child.
“How was the last matter handled?”
“Fang Jue has already dealt with those servants, and recently my mother-in-law has been very honest and hasn’t tried to impose anyone on us.” But she still felt uneasy, which is why she thought of bringing the child over for a check-up.
Shao He took the child into her arms and noticed that the child often scratched her head inexplicably and seemed increasingly uncomfortable.
She sensed something was wrong, immediately turned her attention to the top of the child’s head, and carefully observed, noticing some fine needle marks; however, she was not quite sure what to make of them.
“Zhao Yuebei.” Shao He called out to someone at a distant counter.
The source of this c𝓸ntent is frёeweɓηovel.coɱ.
Zhao Yuebei, hearing her, turned his head, “Doctor Shao, what is it?”
“Do you have a magnet there?”
Zhao Yuebei nodded and said, “Yes, do you need it, Doctor Shao?”
“Bring it here for me to use.”
Zhao Yuebei, although unsure of her intentions, still brought the magnet over.
Shao He, holding the magnet, looked at the child’s head and pressed the magnet against the scalp, slowly moving it forward; her action stunned everyone present.
After carefully exploring a bit, she suddenly felt the magnet in her hand move slightly; her pupils dilated in shock.
“Doctor Shao, what is it?” Jhiang Yijia knew he shouldn’t disturb her at this moment, but he couldn’t repress his inner worry.
Shao He didn’t answer, but slowly lifted her hand holding the magnet, and a fine silver needle was drawn out from the top of the child’s head.
Jhiang Yijia covered her mouth in horror, and even Zhao Yuebei standing beside was stunned.
A silver needle had been inserted into such a small child’s head!
Yet that was not all, Shao He placed the silver needle from the magnet to one side and pressed the magnet against the child’s scalp again—one needle, two needles, three needles.
Jhiang Yijia turned pale, unable to utter a word, her legs slightly weak, but fortunately, her maid supported her in time, helping her sit down on a nearby chair.
“How could this happen, how could this happen,” Jhiang Yijia murmured in self-blame.
She clearly wanted to protect her child, yet repeatedly pushed the child towards danger, feeling utterly failed as a mother.
“It’s the evil custom of certain places, where harming female infants frightens them away from reincarnating as such. Boys are then born, but in large family estates that have concubines, there is no need for such vile practices.”
But Shao He had not anticipated that this would happen to Jhiang Yijia, even in a prestigious household like the Fang Family, to employ such despicable methods was truly contemptible.
Jhiang Yijia was inconsolable, sitting on the chair, crying heavily, despite all her precautions, she could not prevent it.
“My child, my unfortunate child, is she, is she alright?”
Jhiang Yijia mustered a lot of courage to voice this concern, given that so many silver needles had been extracted from her child’s brain, not knowing if they would have any effect on her.
“Luckily, they did not hit any vital spots.”
“Will there be any lingering effects in the future? Or could it affect her health?” Jhiang Yijia asked persistently, concerned.
“Do not worry, although several silver needles were inserted into the child’s head, fortunately, they avoided the vital spots and were both thin and short, so there should be no serious harm.”
After some reassurance from Shao He, Jhiang Yijia finally calmed down, but this incident had greatly shaken her; she had thought that with Fang Jue’s love, it was enough to combat anything.
Now it seemed she had oversimplified things and greatly underestimated her mother-in-law’s desire for a grandson.
“Thank you, Doctor Shao.”
Jhiang Yijia carefully took the child into her arms, looking at her sleeping face, her heart filled with reluctance, wondering why such an innocent and cute child had to endure so much suffering.
“Do not think too much. Be sure to discuss this matter thoroughly with Fang Jue. Otherwise, there might be even more tragic events next time.”
What Shao He worried about the most was that Lady Fang would take this opportunity to send the child away.
Jhiang Yijia bowed slightly in gratitude to her, then hurriedly left with the child.
Even until late at night when she returned home, Shao He’s mood was still unsettled, as she became increasingly aware of the horrors of this era.
Qing Shan, noticing her mistress’s pallor, pulled Qingxia aside and asked, “What happened to the young lady today? She seems to look quite pale?”
Qingxia relayed the incident with Jhiang Yijia’s child to Qing Shan, who heard it and frowned deeply, “Lady Fang has really gone too far; no matter what, one should not harm a child.”
“Exactly, and after Miss Jhiang left, the young lady has been in this state,” Qingxia didn’t understand what her mistress was thinking but sensed a hint of fear in her eyes.
Knowing her mistress had never feared anything before, to suddenly see fear in her was quite surprising.
After dinner, Shao He leaned against the door, staring blankly at the moon above.
She placed her hand over her chest, contemplating the slight feelings she had developed for Pei Huaian, suddenly filled with inexplicable fear.
“Thud,” the sound of something heavy hitting the ground broke her thoughts.
Shao He saw the person who had climbed up from the ground, looking at his disheveled appearance, she couldn’t help but curl her lips into a smile.
