A Military Doctor Became a Stepmom in Ancient Times

Unknown Whereabouts

“That’s impressive, young lady. Where did you learn your medical skills?” The woman in red smiled again. She took the medicine.

“I specially went to the capital to learn it in the past. I spent a lot of money to learn it!” Ning Yue replied casually.

She specially went to the capital to study medicine? The woman in red saw that there were so many people in the Ning family and they seemed to be a big family. Before escaping, they should be able to afford to send this girl to study medicine.

“Alright, I think you’re fated today. You’ve cured my illness of many years. Take your brother away.” The woman in red did feel that it was worth it. She could earn more money after her throat was cured.

Ning Yue was delighted and pulled Xiaochen away. The woman in red returned to the carriage and instructed the man to drive away.

The man was not pleased. “Are we just going to let her go?”

“I know you’re upset. I’ll give you some money when we get back. Don’t you know how much my voice is worth? Don’t worry,” the woman in red said readily. The man finally smiled and drove away.

Seeing the carriage leave, Ning Yue felt relieved. She and Third Brother Ning brought Xiaochen and Ning Balang back to their families.

Old Madam Ning hugged Xiaochen. “Chenchen, why are you here alone? Where are your parents?”

Ning Laosan briefly explained what had just happened to everyone. Everyone admired Ning Yue very much. They didn’t expect her to bring the child back unscathed. In the past, they felt that Ning Yue didn’t like to talk, but now they knew that she was really eloquent.

“Yueyue, it’s been hard on you to save your brother. I spent so many treasures on you along the way. I didn’t expect you to have learned some medical skills in the capital. You’re so amazing!” Old Madam Ning felt guilty and relieved.

Ning Yue shook her head. “It’s not hard, Grandma. I like to learn. Those things are just worldly possessions.”

The only thing the Host had brought back from the capital was a pair of jade pendants.

One represented the identity of the legitimate daughter of the General’s residence, and Ning Yue had yet to figure out who the other belonged to.

It would definitely be useful later.

“Good child, it’s been hard on you. If you can settle down, Grandma will make it up to you.” Old Madam Ning sighed.

Ning Yue nodded happily. “Okay, Grandma will dote on me again when the time comes!”

Compared to the praise in her current misery, she looked forward to her future life more. As long as she knew that everyone liked her from the bottom of their hearts, it would be worth it.

“Alright, when the time comes, Grandma will hold Yueyue in the palm of her hand!” Old Madam Ning smiled kindly and raised her hand to wipe her tears. Then, she went back to business. “We still have to care about our people. Chenchen, say something. Where are your father and the others?”

Xiaochen gripped the corner of his shirt tightly. He had suffered a lot of shock in the past two days and couldn’t recover for a moment. If Sister Yue hadn’t saved him, he would have been taken away.

His little face paled. “I don’t know. We were together a few days ago, but we ran into robbers. I ran away in the process of being robbed, and then I ran off somewhere. I bumped into some people just now. They arrested me and asked me to steal something for them and beg for things…”

So First Aunt and the others had also encountered robbers!

Ning Yue frowned. She didn’t know if they had escaped from the robbers later. If not, they would probably be dead.

As expected, Old Madam Ning almost fainted when she heard that. Fortunately, Eldest Brother Ning and his wife, Madam Qu, supported her and helped her sit on the ground.

“What should we do… My daughter…” Old Madam Ning cried.

Old Master Ning’s expression also turned ugly. In this day and age, once one was targeted by robbers, it was very likely that they would die.

Ning Bai had also come over. After hearing the family’s conversation, he immediately said, “Don’t be anxious. If you had agreed to come to the White Cloud City with them previously, the journey would probably be about the same. They might also be among the refugees nearby. Let’s go look for them together and see if we can find them. We can also take a look at the situation here.”

Old Master Ning nodded solemnly. Ning Dalang and Third Brother Ning stood up bravely. Ning Tian also decided to help them with the search.

A few of them knew Ning Yue’s aunt, so it was most suitable for them to look for her. It would be useless if they found someone but couldn’t recognize them.

The others continued to wait here. It was not easy for them to move around or scatter. It was easy for them to be targeted if they were alone. There were many refugees here and it was chaotic. If they were taken away, they might not be discovered in time.
