Translator: CokeZero Editor: Rainystars

Lu Jiao’s words made Qi Lei exclaim, “No wonder the medicine he took was useless. This explains it.”

There was so much astonishment in Qi Lei’s eyes as he stared at Lu Jiao. Lady Lu’s knowledge of medicine was beyond his expectation.

“Lady Lu, you’re amazing.”

The Lin family was frantic, “Then, Yunjin’s wife, please prescribe some medicine for my Erdan. We are going to buy it right away.”

Lu Jiao glanced at Erdan, whose face was bright red due to discomfort.

Lu Jiao couldn’t help but offer, “You don’t need to go into town to buy medicine. I have some raw rhubarb at home. You take it, boil it, and then feed him the water. He should be able to poop after that. Once he poops, make sure he sweats a lot to get rid of the heat. He should be fine after that.”

The Lin family listened to Lu Jiao and was more than appreciative. Lady Sun walked out with her to get the raw rhubarbs.

Behind them, Qi Lei assured the Lin family, “Don’t worry. Everything will be okay.”

He then followed Lu Jiao as well.

Outside in the yard, everyone’s caught up with what happened. They were all so excited, even more so than the Lin family.

“Oh my, Yunjin’s wife is amazing. She just took one look and figured out why Erdan got his fever. She’s a better doctor than those from the Huichun Clinic and Baohe Tang.”

“I wonder if her method will actually work. Let’s judge after Erdan’s fever goes away.”

“If it works, then Yunjin’s wifewould be considered a miracle doctor.”

There were all sorts of discussions going on. Lu Jiao ignored all the villagers and brought Lady Sun home.

On the way back, she remembered the matter of Xie Yunjin’s surgery. Suddenly, she snapped her head around to look at Qi Lei. He was a doctor from the Capital City. What if she asked him for help?

That idea gave Lu Jiao energy. She smiled at Qi Lei and asked, “Doctor Qi, can I ask you for a favor?”

Qi Lei admired Lu Jiao very much. Her request made him nod, “Please speak of it.”

Lu Jiao wasn’t in a rush to tell. Since Lady Sun was there as well, she couldn’t blatantly ask him about Xie Yunjin’s surgery.

“We can chat later.”

The three of them went back to the Xie house. Lu Jiao went to fetch the rhubarbs’ from the kitchen. In reality, she took it out of her space.

She kept stuff like this in her little storage unit in her space. The rhubarb she looked for had been concocted.

Lu Jiao took out a little and gave it to Lady Sun, “Rhubarbs are somewhat toxic, so this much is enough. Go home and boil enough liquid for two bowls. Let him have one bowl and see if he poops. If he does, then don’t give him the second bowl. If the first bowl doesn’t do the job, then feed him the second bowl. After two bowls, he will for sure get better.”

Lady Tian took the rhubarbs and thanked Lu Jiao profusely before she left.

After she left, Qi Lei asked Lu Jiao, “You need a favor from me?”

Lu Jiao whispered, “Don’t say anything and don’t ask me anything. Just cooperate with me in a bit.”

Qi Lei nodded. Lu Jiao led Qi Lei to the east bedroom. As she led the way, she excitedly conversed, “Doctor Qi, so you are the famous doctor from the Capital City. This is so great. I will have to rely on you to help with my husband’s injuries.”

Qi Lei felt all the hair on his body stand up. He was getting a bad vibe.

By now, the duo had entered the east bedroom.

Agitated, Lu Jiao headed straight to Xie Yunjin, “Husband, let me share some good news with you. Doctor Qi here is a doctor from the Capital City. His knowledge base is deep and he says he knows how to perform surgery.”

Inside the room, Qi Lei froze out of shock. What was the meaning of this? He wasn’t a surgeon so why was this woman making such claims?

Qi Lei wanted to speak.

Lu Jiao snuck him a glare to remind him that he agreed to cooperate.

Qi Lei started to perspire. He didn’t know how to do surgeries though!

Oh my goodness, this lady sure knew how to dig a hole for someone.

Lu Jiao ignored him and stared at Xie Yunjin, “Did you hear me? Doctor Qi said he can perform surgery on you!”

Xie Yunjin was astounded. He suppressed all the emotions he felt and asked, “Doctor Qi, you really know how to perform surgery?”

He didn’t know! He’s never done it! He didn’t dare!

Beside the bed, Lu Jiao stared into Qi Lei’s soul and silently warned him that if he ruined her plan, she would kill him.

Qi Lei sweated harder and whimpered. Why did he agree to cooperate? This was a scam.

Lu Jiao once again spoke up, “Doctor Qi, hurry and examine my husband. Tell us, can you really treat him?”

While being stared at by Lu Jiao, Qi Lei walked up to Xie Yunjin to examine him.

This Lady Lu was a devil.

How come he was so sure before that she was harmless? That was poor judgment on his part.

After he examined Xie Yunjin, Qi Lei confirmed, “Your legs have high hopes of making full recovery after surgery.”

He didn’t lie. The problem was that he didn’t know how to do surgery!

Qi Lei’s words made Xie Yunjin think that he was now operable! Overwhelmed with happiness, his cold and jade-like skin reddened a little.

There was much happiness on his face as his dark pupils lightened up. The once aloof and cold man now appeared kind and warm.

“This is great news.”

Lu Jiao chimed in, “Yes! This is an unexpected surprise. We can finally cure your legs.”

By the bed, Qi Lei was flustered and he paled. Oh my god, why did he come to this village? He should’ve checked his horoscope before he left his home today.

He wasn’t meant to be out here today. What should he do now?

Lu Jiao ignored Qi Lei and continued to smile, “Doctor Qi, do you think you can do the surgery in two days? After Yunjin gets a little better?”

Xie Yunjin wanted to get the surgery this second! So he burst out impatiently, “We can arrange for surgery right now!”

Lu Jiao disagreed. She needed at least two days to get things in order. She hasn’t even communicated with Baohe Tang. How could she just rush into surgery?

Her expression didn’t change as she replied, “Yunjin, surgery is a serious matter. You should leave it to Doctor Qi to plan and execute.”

Lu Jiao then looked up to Qi Lei and indicated to him that it was his turn to speak.

Qi Lei’s face was rather sour. He wanted to cry. What should he do now? He wanted to cry to the man stuck in bed and tell him that he really shouldn’t be hopeful as surgery was an unknown field to Baohe Tang.

Against Lu Jiao’s threatening gaze, however, he quivered, “You should rest for at least two more days. Once I’m ready, I will send someone to inform you.”

He wanted to get into his horse carriage and leave this village. He shall never return! What bad luck for him to have met this woman!

Her doing was digging him a hole! Worse, she was digging a hole for her husband!

She was giving her husband false hope. Once he found that the surgery was a no-go, he would likely go insane. This woman was scamming many people at once – was she trying to set up her husband because she hated him?

As Qi Lei pondered in darkness and silence, Lu Jiao was busy comforting Xie Yunjin, “It’s only a matter of a few more days. You should rest well and prepare for surgery over the next two days.”

Xie Yunjin once again did his best to suppress the excitement he felt. Not even in his wildest dreams did he think he would successfully meet a surgeon.

How wonderful.
