Zhong Nuannuan knew that this would not intimidate them, so she said immediately, "He's suffering from shortness of breath now and can't speak properly. If you don't let me insert these needles, his muscles will be cramped for a long time. Besides, he's aged, so it's very easy for him to suffer major side effects. It's even possible for him to suffer from hemiplegia."
When the guards heard that, they were frightened.
One of them asked, "Then, do you really know acupuncture?"
"Mmm."
Seeing Zhong Nuannuan nod her head, everyone believed her. After all, she was the future granddaughter-in-law of the old marshal. The old marshal meant to dote on her endlessly—she was the future matriarch of the Chi family who would carry on the family line for the old marshal and the commander.
