Chapter 609 Coaxing Sister

After Wang Min left, the Minister of Justice Wei Tingzhi appeared and sent Liu Ziqi and Yu Jiao out of the Ministry of Justice.

Yu Jiao followed and listened to the two people talking, only then did she realize that her elder brother was very familiar with the Minister of Justice Wei Tingzhi.

After leaving the Ministry of Justice, Wei Tingzhi whispered, "This case today is not Xuanlang's fault. Someone came from the palace. Even if Wang Min confesses, he will be released from prison soon."

Liu Ziqi had already guessed that someone was secretly trying to protect Wang Min, "Who is it?"

The Imperial Medical Service certainly doesn't have the ability to make the Ministry of Justice release someone immediately.

Wei Tingzhi did not hide anything from Liu Ziqi and lowered his voice and said, "The one from the Feng family."

Empress Feng? Liu Ziqi nodded, his face showing no strange expression. It seemed that this matter could not be pursued any further for the time being.

Although Empress Feng had little power in the palace and was no match for Concubine Xue, the Feng family had many followers in the court. After all, the second prince born to Empress Feng was the crown prince.

On the way back, Liu Ziqi asked the coachman to go to Chang'an Street and buy a whole box of different kinds of food for Yu Jiao, including dried fruits, candied fruits, cakes and candied fruits. There were dozens of snacks alone.

Yu Jiao knew that Liu Ziqi was trying to cheer her up because of Wang Min's matter, so she kept busy all the way and ate very happily, thanking Liu Ziqi with a smile.

Yu Jiao didn't really care about Wang Min's affairs, because she knew that even if Wang Min pleaded guilty today, he wouldn't be sentenced to a heavy punishment, as the crime he committed was not a serious one.

The elder brother has done enough for her. Perhaps, as Wang Min said, there will be opportunities in the future. Since they are both in the capital, there will always be opportunities in the future.

Since he is an expert in gynecology, they might as well compete with each other. Although Yu Jiao doesn't care about this title, Wang Min would probably be very upset if someone said that the imperial physician of the Imperial Medical Bureau was not as good as a little girl in medical skills.

After a day, the news that the third daughter of Liu Ci Fu's family could perform a caesarean section to deliver a child spread throughout the capital. Almost everyone had heard of it. Not only because of this horrifying medical skill, but also because it was related to the case of corpse destruction in the charity cemetery outside the capital. It sounded somewhat mysterious, and the tea drinkers in the teahouse talked about it with great interest.

What’s more important is that this secret technique actually came from a teenage girl, and this girl is the third young lady that the Liu family has just found.

Yu Jiao became famous overnight, and some people even made up a story that she had seen the Bodhisattva Guanyin of the South China Sea when she was young, and that she was able to keep both mother and child safe by performing a caesarean section, because she had inherited the magical power of the Goddess of Childbirth, and the story became so miraculous.

The Wu and Mu mansions, where Yu Jiao had invited them to see patients, were also frequently mentioned. The mansions of Madam Mu and Madam Wu were crowded with guests for a while. The ladies of each family did not dare to go to the Liu mansion to inquire openly, so they went to the Mu and Wu families under one excuse or another. In fact, they were all trying to find out indirectly whether the cesarean section technique really existed, and whether the third wife of the Wu family and the young wife of the Mu family who had undergone cesarean section were still alive.

The complicated feelings of the Wu family's eldest lady and the Mu family's eldest lady are hard to describe in words.

In the past, they wanted to integrate into the circle of ladies in the capital, but some banquets did not invite them at all. Madam Wu was invited because her family was in decline, and Madam Mu was invited because the Mu family had no roots in the capital, and the eldest master of the Mu family, Mu Chen, was only a fourth-rank official in the capital, and his status was considered insufficient.

Because of this incident, the wives of the wealthy and powerful families now took turns inviting them to be their guests.

No matter how noble a woman's status is, she will always have to get pregnant and give birth to children in her life. Even if they have already given birth to children, they still have daughters and daughters-in-law at home. Women know best how difficult it is to give birth. The reason why they are so concerned is that they also want to find out how good Miss Liu San's medical skills are. If they really encounter a woman with difficult labor in the future, they can feel free to ask Miss Liu San for treatment.

Even Liu Ci Fu was asked about this when he was discussing matters with his disciples. Liu Yu was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. The disciples were all close friends, so he explained that Yu Jiao had learned medicine from others since she was a child and her medical skills were quite good. The talk of immortal arts was just absurd.

Yu Jiao found it very funny to hear Liu Yaoyu talk about the bustling and lively scene outside.

Liu Yaoyu was very angry. She was obviously her third sister, but she heard it from other people and found out that Yu Jiao could perform a cesarean section.

Moreover, Yu Jiao had previously colluded with Chen Wan and went to the Wu and Mu families for medical treatment without telling her.

When Yu Jiao was making the incense pills, Liu Yaoyu sat beside her with an unhappy look on her face, staring at her.

This made Yu Jiao feel both cute and funny, so she said something nice to coax her, "Second sister, when the paper arrives after the New Year, I will give you a set of twelve-color paper, okay? Don't be angry."

Liu Yaoyu remained unmoved and still stared at Yu Jiao with a puffy face.

Yu Jiao put down the rosin in her hand, reached out to pull Liu Yaoyu's hand, shook her hand and said, "Good sister, I was wrong, I will never hide it from you again. Let me make you a sachet ball? Put the sachet in it and hang it around your waist. It will look very nice."

Liu Yaoyu finally couldn't hold back and smiled as Yu Jiao held her hand and acted like a spoiled child. She tapped Yu Jiao's forehead and said, "Forget it. I'll let you go this time, but don't hide it from me next time. Even if you are close to Chen Wan, I am your second sister!"

Yu Jiao nodded obediently, "Yes, yes, you are my second sister, so you are naturally different from others. I kept it a secret from you because I didn't want to cause criticism in the mansion because of my medical practice."

Liu Yaoyu was happy then. After hearing what Yu Jiao said, she said, "What's the point of criticism? As long as the children of our Liu family behave properly and openly, there is no need to care about this. Your father will not restrict you or stop you from practicing medicine. You see, your elder brother likes to do business, and your father has never interfered. If you like to practice medicine, just go ahead and do it. Even if you are a girl, practicing medicine is to cure diseases and save lives. If anyone dares to say something behind your back, I will scold him back for you!"

"People in the capital are very arrogant and value family background. They are used to flattering the superior and putting down the inferior. When you went to see the doctor without telling your identity, people would inevitably look down on you because you are a little girl. Now everyone knows that you are the third girl of our Liu family. In the future, they will respect you more when you are asked to see the doctor."
