The expressions on everyone's faces were grave, and no one dared to speak and disturb Yuwensheng and Wu Chengwen.
"Clatter..."
Due to extreme nervousness, Yuwensheng accidentally knocked over the silver needle box that Wu Chengwen had placed on the table, scattering the silver needles onto the floor.
Yuwensheng, terrified, scrambled to pick up each silver needle from the ground and place it back into the box.
Wu Chengwen, also too tense, did not think about sterilization and directly picked up the silver needles, preparing to insert them into Zhou Yuanyuan's acupoints.
This scene stunned the medical experts who were attending to matters outside the room!
If silver needles, after falling onto the ground, were to be inserted into acupoints, they must be sterilized first.
Otherwise, if an infection occurred, it could be fatal.
This was the most basic common sense.
The medical experts outside the room all frowned, but they dared not disturb Yuwensheng and Wu Chengwen, so they swallowed the words that were at the tip of their tongues.
No one dared to speak up and remind them.
"Doctor Wu, it seems you didn't sterilize the silver needles after they fell on the ground!"
A voice sounded from outside the door.
It was Jiang Yi who spoke.
Upon hearing this, Wu Chengwen finally came to his senses.
Yuwensheng, however, did not understand why sterilization was necessary and stood frozen, at a loss.
"Stop dawdling and sterilize them quickly!"
Wu Chengwen called out to Yuwensheng.
"Oh!"
Yuwensheng responded and prepared to sterilize the silver needles.
But the next moment, Yuwensheng looked confused, as he didn't know which bottle was the disinfectant.
Yuwensheng was unsure what to do.
The situation froze.
"The second bottle on the left..." Wu Chengwen called out.
Wu Chengwen was about to go mad. He hadn't expected Yuwensheng to be so ignorant that he didn't even know the disinfectant. It was impossible to cooperate like this.
"Oh!"
Yuwensheng responded and then poured out the disinfectant.
This time, Yuwensheng directly held the silver needles with his hands and cleaned them with the disinfectant.
Anyone with even a little medical knowledge knew that one should not hold silver needles directly with their hands when sterilizing them.
Because doing so rendered sterilization impossible, as hands also carried many bacteria.
Wu Chengwen stomped his feet in anger but could only pretend not to see.
If he were to remind Yuwensheng again, it would completely expose him!
At this moment.
The medical experts outside the room all looked puzzled and began to whisper among themselves.
"Yuwensheng was able to cure Zhou Mao's legs, so logically he should be a skilled physician, yet he doesn't even know the most basic common sense."
"This is indeed very strange. Even someone with no medical knowledge should be able to distinguish the disinfectant!"
"Even stranger is that he doesn't even know how to sterilize silver needles..."
...
These words made Zhou Wentian's brows furrow, instantly creasing.
Zhou Wentian was extremely sharp and had already sensed that Yuwensheng was not right.
"Go find Zhou Mao!"
Zhou Wentian said to a servant.
"Yes!"
The servant responded and hurried to find Zhou Mao.
Upon hearing Zhou Wentian asking for Zhou Mao, Yuwensheng's heart leaped into his throat.
He knew that Zhou Wentian must have seen through the deception and was bringing Zhou Mao to confront him.
Due to excessive nervousness, Yuwensheng's hands were sweating profusely, all cold sweat from fear.
Wu Chengwen's expression was also very grim.
Before long, Zhou Mao arrived!
"Dad, do you need me for something?" Zhou Mao asked.
"Was it Master Yuwensheng who cured your legs last night? Tell me the truth."
Zhou Wentian looked at Zhou Mao.
However, Zhou Mao looked towards Jiang Yi.
"No..."
Zhou Mao replied.
As soon as these words were spoken, a murderous look appeared on Zhou Wentian's face.
Yuwensheng's expression turned extremely ugly. He knew he was finished this time.
Zhou Wentian did not fly into a rage on the spot. He called out to Yuwensheng, "Come with me to the main hall downstairs. I have something to ask you..."
Yuwensheng immediately collapsed onto the ground.
Two servants walked over, dragged Yuwensheng out of the room, and took him to the main hall.
Zhou Wentian, Zhou Mao, and the Zhou family servants also went to the main hall.
Zhou Wentian had people brought to the main hall so as not to disturb Wu Chengwen's treatment of Zhou Yuanyuan.
As for Jiang Yi, he had already guessed Yuwensheng's fate and therefore did not go down to the main hall.
Instead, he continued to stay outside the ward, watching Wu Chengwen's treatment with great interest.
In the main hall.
"You have a lot of nerve, daring to deceive me. Speak, what was your purpose?"
Zhou Wentian glared at Yuwensheng with sharp eyes.
Yuwensheng's face was pale. He knew he could no longer pretend.
"The Marshal is asking you a question, don't you hear him?"
Deputy Liang kicked Yuwensheng to the ground, then crouched down and slapped him.
"Do you still intend to keep deceiving the Marshal?"
"I dare not!"
Yuwensheng quickly rubbed his face and said, "I have no other purpose. I just wanted to become the Marshal's son-in-law. Once I become the Marshal's son-in-law, I could leap over the dragon gate..."
"Slap!"
Deputy Liang kicked Yuwensheng again and sneered, "Someone like you, what qualifications do you have to be the Marshal's son-in-law?"
Yuwensheng dared not speak.
"Marshal, this fellow Yuwensheng has deceived all of us so badly. He must be executed!" Deputy Liang said.
"Keep him alive for now!"
Zhou Wentian said with a face full of anger. "Yuwensheng wouldn't have this much audacity on his own. Someone must have instructed him. This matter must be investigated thoroughly. Otherwise, if it gets out, I'll be a laughingstock throughout Jiang Province."
"Yes!"
Deputy Liang nodded in agreement, took Yuwensheng away, and had him locked up in the temporary prison of the Marshal's residence.
"I never thought that I, Zhou Wentian, who has been wise his entire life, would be so thoroughly tricked by this brat Yuwensheng with such a low-level scheme."
Zhou Wentian's face was full of rage.
"Dad, can Divine Doctor Wu cure second sister's illness?" Zhou Mao asked with a frown.
"I don't know!"
Zhou Wentian took a deep breath and said.
"If he can't cure her, I'll kill him. He must have known about Yuwensheng's deception, perhaps he's in cahoots with Yuwensheng!"
"We won't deal with him for now. If he can cure her, I might consider sparing his life."
Hearing this, Zhou Mao remained silent.
He knew that Zhou Wentian must be extremely angry.
Zhou Wentian could not tolerate being toyed with like a monkey. Yuwensheng had committed a grave offense this time.
"By the way, you still haven't told me who cured your legs. This person's medical skills are astonishing, and they can surely cure your second sister's illness."
Zhou Wentian's gaze fell upon Zhou Mao.
A look of helplessness appeared on Zhou Mao's face.
He had promised Jiang Yi earlier not to tell anyone about this matter.
For the sake of friendship and loyalty, Zhou Mao intended to keep it a secret.
"Dad, I can't tell you, because I promised that person I wouldn't say a word." Zhou Mao said.
"Nonsense!"
Zhou Wentian shouted angrily, "Your sister is like this now, and you still refuse to tell the truth. Do you want to cause your sister's death?"
Zhou Mao was very helpless.
