After rebirth, I became a national teacher

It’s no wonder that the two of them lost their composure. It’s just that the news was too much of a shock to them.

"My uncle's injury may just be more serious than mine. If he spends more time on treatment, he should be able to fully recover, right?"

Zhang came to her senses and immediately asked anxiously.

At this point, the two doctors dared not to deceive any more.

Doctor Qian wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and tried to explain in words that laymen could understand:

"Madam, the fact that the pain and swelling in the master's knee have not subsided proves that the cartilage in the knee has died. Just as the dead cannot be revived, the dead cartilage cannot be restored by spending more time to recuperate."

Things have come to this point. Continuing to conceal the truth will only lead to greater criticism. It is better to tell the truth and ask them to find another way out, so as to avoid excessive emotional injury.

"Of course, this may also be due to my poor medical skills. Perhaps there is a more skilled doctor who can cure you, Master."

Zhang glanced at Pei Xiao's face, which was gloomy as if a storm was brewing, and did not dare to say anything else.

Because they all knew that the fact that Doctor Qian could be regarded as a top-notch doctor for treating muscles and bones in a place like the capital where there were so many talented people meant that there was almost no one in the world who could surpass him in this area.

His words had already sentenced Pei Xiao's knees to death.

Pei Xiao is a military general. He had originally hoped to make a comeback with military exploits after returning to the capital. But now that he has such a serious hidden injury in his knee, how can he still lead troops to fight on the battlefield!

"Get out!"

Pei Xiao shouted loudly.

The two doctors breathed a sigh of relief and quickly fled.

Zhang knew that he was upset, and even though she was also overwhelmed by the sudden bad news, she still subconsciously wanted to be his confidant to comfort him.

As soon as he got closer, he met Pei Xiao's sharp and cruel gaze:

"You get out too!"

Zhang was frightened and had to bow awkwardly and go to another room.

It took her a long time to slowly come to her senses from the huge blow and change her previous lethargy.

"Qingliu, go get the medicine from under the bed."

Qingliu obediently took out a paper package wrapped tightly in oil paper from under the bed.

Inside was another dose of sterilization medicine for tigers and wolves.

The previous one had already been boiled, but Zhang couldn't make up her mind to drink it, so she ended up wasting it and throwing it away.

Now this is the only one left.

"Open the window and throw it into the river."

Qingliu was very confused.

"Madam, why are you throwing away such good medicine?"

Although she didn't know what the medicine was used for, she knew it must be very important from the way the lady hid it so solemnly.

But why was such important medicine suddenly thrown away?

Zhang naturally would not explain to her, she just said firmly:

"Throw it away when I tell you to."

Qingliu opened the window and threw a large bag of medicine in his hand into the turbulent Grand Canal.

*

Ten days passed in a blink of an eye, and we had already traveled half of the canal journey. After waiting another seventeen or eighteen days, we would be able to reach the canal dock outside the capital.

Zhang Jinghong went from being confident and relaxed at the beginning to becoming increasingly anxious now.

"There's still no movement from Madam Bo's side?"

When they stopped at the shore for supplies along the way, he summoned the people who were monitoring Zhang and asked them.

In the first two days, in order to put pressure on Zhang, he lived on the big ship at the Jingnan Marquis' Mansion.

In the following days, also in order to put pressure on Zhang and create the illusion that he had learned the truth and therefore had a cold relationship with the Jingnan Marquis' Mansion, he moved back to the invigilation team's ship on the pretext of something.

Therefore, at present, he can only learn about Zhang's movements through the spies who stayed on the ship.

"Sir, the lady of the baron is either reading books, drinking tea or making rouge in the house every day, or taking care of Jingnan Bo. She is very leisurely and comfortable, and there is nothing wrong with it."

Zhang Jinghong frowned when he heard this.

In his original plan, he wanted to alert the enemy by making it appear that he knew that Zhang was plotting to murder Jin Ge'er and was ready to investigate immediately. This would scare Zhang into panic.

If she were in their place, in order to get rid of suspicion and avoid being rejected and retaliated by both Jingnan Bo and the Zhang family's direct lineage, she had only one way to go -

That is to take medicine to kill yourself.

In this way, Zhang would never have her own children just as she had promised before marrying into the Jingnan Marquis's Mansion.

Even if he was unwilling and wanted to harm Jin Ge'er in the future, he would not be able to threaten the title that should have belonged to Jin Ge'er.

What's even more interesting is that this was the medicine that Zhang took herself, so even if Concubine Shu wanted to pursue the matter, it would be unreasonable.

The people he sent saw with their own eyes that the maid named Qingliu went to the pharmacy to get two doses of tiger and wolf medicine.

Zhang Jinghong was confident that it would not be long before he would hear the news that Zhang had "fallen ill" after taking the medicine.

However, he waited for several days, but there was no movement from the other side, and instead they became more and more leisurely and calm.

At first, he could still comfort himself. After all, the matter was of great importance, and it was possible that Zhang was hesitant.

But now, if he still thinks so, he would be no different from a fool who deceives himself.

Zhang has changed so much before and after, something must have happened that he overlooked.

"Are there any other unusual movements on the ship of Jingnan Marquis' Mansion?"

He could not tell anyone else what he was thinking, so even when he ordered people to monitor Zhang, he was very subtle in his words.

Therefore, every time the monitors he sent to resupply, they would only report to him news related to Zhang's health.

The observer thought for a moment and said:

"Doctor Qian said that Jingnanbo's knee cartilage has already died and no medicine can cure it. I'm afraid he will suffer from the disease frequently and have difficulty walking."

Zhang Jinghong was shocked.

He never imagined that even a weak woman like Zhang had recovered her health under the treatment of Doctor Qian.

A warrior as strong as Jingnanbo actually broke his legs after kneeling outside Cihang Temple for three days and two nights!

He was only concerned about Pei Jin's condition at the beginning, and had no idea that Zhang had at least knelt on a soft and thick mat for three days, while Pei Xiao was swept up by public opinion and knelt on a hard stone slab for three days. Naturally, the injuries were very different.

No matter how unwilling he was, Zhang Jinghong had to admit that he had miscalculated!

Now that the Jingnan Marquis' legs are broken from kneeling, there is no hope for him to turn over. The future prosperity and wealth of the Jingnan Marquis's Mansion can only rely on the concubine in the palace.

No wonder Zhang is so relaxed and at ease now. It turns out that she has nothing to fear and is no longer afraid of him exposing the matter.

In this way, if Jin Ge'er returns to Jingnan Marquis' Mansion, his situation will become extremely dangerous.

Zhang Jinghong gritted his teeth unwillingly.

In the current situation, not only can he no longer let Zhang be killed, but he also has to worry about Jin Ge'er being murdered by Zhang again.

You know, in the eyes of outsiders, Zhang, the stepmother, knelt for three days and three nights to seek medical treatment for Jin'er, and only then did she cure Jin'er's strange disease.

If Brother Jin were to do something unfavorable to Zhang or have a bad attitude, he would be criticized by people all over the world if the news got out.

With this great favor, Zhang can find countless ways to murder Jin Ge'er again and pave the way for her future biological son.

For the sake of Jin'er's safety, even if he has to completely break off relations with Concubine Shu or even become an enemy, he must expose the matter of Zhang's poisoning before he can bring Jin'er to live in the Zhang Mansion!
