The Doctor's Concubine: Kick the Scumbag King and I Want to Be a Dandy Girl in the Capital

Chapter 71: Was the eldest brother’s leg injured by his own people?

Everyone imitated Xiu Luoran and started eating crabs.

Seeing that Xiu Lingmo was moving slowly, Xiu Luoran helped him cut the crab and let him eat it himself using an iron needle.

“Delicious, delicious!”

Zhang Xugang took two bites of the crab meat and praised it highly. The others also nodded as they ate, expressing their satisfaction.

Xiu Luoran said: "Crab paste and crab roe are much more delicious than crab meat."

Zhang Xugang: "Really? Let me try it."

Then, I heard him repeatedly say “What a delicious meal, wonderful, wonderful”.

Zhang Yuetang looked at his granddaughter:

"Luoluo, have you forgotten something?"

Xiu Luoran glanced at him:

"Grandpa, if you promise me to drink less, I'll get it for you. Otherwise, I'll let everyone eat with you, and no one is allowed to drink."

"You stinky girl, won't I cause public outrage?

Okay, okay, I'll just drink less, please bring me some wine."

Xiu Luoran gave Zhang Yuetang low-alcohol lotus wine, gave his father, second uncle and eldest uncle high-alcohol corn wine, and gave his brothers rice wine.

Xiu Lingce and Xiu Lingyi found the rice wine fine to drink, but Xiu Lingqun felt it was not satisfying enough, so he went to his father's table and poured half a bowl of corn wine.

Zhang Yuetang said as he peeled the crab meat:

"Luoluo, this lotus wine, you didn't brew it with lotus flowers from Prince Shun's mansion, did you?"

Xiu Luoran smiled: "Grandpa is so smart, he guessed it right."

"You little rascal, you just got some lotus flowers and lotus leaves, is it necessary for you to cause trouble to Prince Shun's mansion?

Which of our families doesn't have a lotus pond? You can pick lotus flowers and lotus leaves as you like. Why bother to provoke Prince Shun?"

Xiu Luoran said loudly: "Is it a problem with the lotus flowers and lotus leaves? If they don't let me appreciate the lotus flowers, then no one else can appreciate them!"

Xiu Yuancang looked at his father-in-law who was scolding his daughter, but his eyes were full of smiles.

He also smiled, and felt that the crab meat in his mouth was more fragrant than before.

Xiu Yuanshan also saw Zhang Yuetang's smile, and he also saw Zhang Xugang's smile.

Look at other people’s Yue family and think about your own Yue family.

He wasn't that angry. He didn't have high expectations in the first place, so there was nothing to be disappointed about.

He continued to eat the crab meat and drink the wine.

At Xiu Luoran's table, the brothers and sisters were eating with great relish.

A few older ones took turns cutting crab legs and picking out crab meat for Xiu Luoran and Xiu Lingmo. The brother and sister were so happy eating.

"Third brother, help me get the big one. Mo'er, this female one is for you. Let big brother help you cut it open."

While eating, Xiu Luoran asked Xiu Lingqun:

"Third brother, normal?"

Xiu Lingqun nodded: "Normal."

Xiu Luoran asked Xiu Lingce again:

"Brother, what about you guys?"

"It's normal."

Xiu Lingmo looked at them and asked Xiu Lingyi:

"Second brother, why do I feel that the three brothers are not normal?"

Xiu Lingyi drank some rice wine and ate some crab roe. It was really delicious. He looked intoxicated:

"Moer, don't worry, my second brother is normal."

"Pfft!"

Xiu Luoran smiled. Her family was really so cute.

She just wanted to ask her eldest and third brothers whether everything was normal at Jingxin Temple.

After eating and drinking, everyone was satisfied and stood up to leave.

Xiu Luoran said: "Uncle, uncle, I have prepared several baskets for your two families, you can take them home and eat them.

Remember to wash it thoroughly and try not to mix it with other things.

This thing is cold in nature, so women should eat less, and it’s best to drink some ginger tea after eating.”

Zhang Xugang and Xiu Yuanshan said they understood.

Xiu Luoran went back to rest.

In the morning, Xiu Luoran got up late. After breakfast, she checked on Cheng Mama and Mochou's injuries. They had recovered well enough, so she applied medicine to them.

Then, she went to the small garden to practice Qinggong. It was almost noon when she went to see the old man who had undergone appendectomy yesterday.

As soon as I entered the room, I saw the old man lying on the bed, looking very energetic.

"Old man, how are you feeling?"

The old man smiled and said, "I'm just too hungry, but I don't dare to eat too much."

Xiu Luoran handed the old man a small packet of anti-inflammatory pills:

"Take one pill three times a day. After you finish it, your injury will be almost healed."

"Thank you, girl."

At this time, Holly came in and handed a package to the old man.

The old man took it and handed it to Xiu Luoran:

"Girl, your medical skills are very high, I am ashamed of myself.

However, I have accumulated some experience in my medical practice over the years, so I will give it to you. Please don’t despise it.”

Xiu Luoran took the package in his hand and said hurriedly:

"Old man, this is a treasure, how could I dislike it?"

She remembered that when she was studying Chinese medicine, her teacher said that no matter how skilled you were in medicine, you had no right to be arrogant.

Because every family of traditional Chinese medicine practitioners has their own unique secret recipes and treatments, and you will never be able to learn enough of them.

The old man was very happy to see that his hard work had not been wasted:

"Then take a look when you have time, it may be of some help."

Xiu Luoran returned home, sat down and opened the package.

The thick book inside contains the pulse records that the old man has been practicing medicine since he started, as well as his understanding and exploration of the cases.

There was also a booklet without a name on it, and Xiu Luoran put it aside.

There are two house deeds, one is the house where the old man lived when Xiu Luoran was receiving treatment, and the other is a house with three courtyards, which also looks good in the location.

Xiu Luoran put down the house deed and picked up a piece of paper. It was a letter to her:

Girl:

Thank you for saving my life.

This package is the reward I give you. In addition, there is one more thing, after careful consideration, I decided to tell you:

Your elder brother Xiu Lingce's leg might have been injured by our own people, not by the enemy.

When Xiu Luoran saw this, he was filled with shock: Big brother’s leg was injured by his own people?

own people?

Xiu Luoran continued to read:

Why do you say that?

I remember that day, I was on duty at the Imperial Hospital and was sent to the home of a fifth-rank official to treat an old lady.

I felt very strange at the time. Given my position, the people who asked me to treat them had to be the family members of at least a third-rank official.

This couldn't possibly be a mistake made by the higher-ups.

That was an intentional arrangement by the higher-ups.

But why did they arrange it this way? What did they want to do by sending me away?

After I came back from the medical examination, I tactfully asked my young apprentice questions and I found out that the man from the border wanted a doctor who could reattach a leg, saying that an important general had his leg broken.

The director of the Imperial Medical Bureau said that since Imperial Physician Jia was there, let him go.

I was shocked at the time, thinking that the man with a broken leg was in trouble. Doctor Jia was just a traveling doctor who used his connections to get into the Imperial Hospital to do odd jobs.

His medical skills are not even as good as those of ordinary doctors in clinics, so how could he possibly heal a leg?

My little apprentice whispered to me, Master, I heard the dean say to another person, after planning for so long, he only injured his leg, he is really lucky.

I hurriedly warned my young apprentice not to say such things again, otherwise he might lose his life.

I have always wondered who the man with a broken leg is at the border, I didn't expect it to be your elder brother.

I don't have any evidence to prove that your elder brother was murdered. You are such an excellent doctor, you should be able to cure your elder brother's leg, right?

I hope you tell your brother to be more careful next time.

That booklet without a name contains some secrets that I know. Just treat it as a story.

Also, there is a secret room under my bed, which contains precious medicinal herbs that I have collected over the years. I am giving them to you as well.

I left and went back to my hometown. In the eyes of those people, I was already a dead person with intestinal abscess, which was good.

My name is Qiu Guanbai, and I’m an imperial physician with some conscience.

I'll stop here. I hope we are all well.

After reading the letter, Xiu Luoran took it and ran to find Xiu Lingce.
