Chapter 423 Success

Before Lu Qingqing even arrived at the academy, soldiers rushed over to deliver the message.

"The restaurant owner, Mr. Ji, came to invite you, saying that his wife was having a difficult childbirth and was pregnant with twins. Since you were not here, Miss Qiaoxiu went over with Feng Shuang and Dong Xiaofeng."

Lu Qingqing immediately turned around and went to the Ji family.

When they arrived at the Ji family's house.

Only Qiaoxiu and the midwife were inside the house, while Feng Shuang and Dong Xiaofeng stood outside.

Why don't you go in and help?

"Dean, they won't allow it, saying we bring bad luck," Feng Shuang explained, her eyes lowered.

Several girls bravely stood up to testify that day, and many people saw it; these kinds of things spread very quickly.

Despite Lu Qingqing taking them in as students, she was still criticized by others.

Lu Qingqing heard Qiaoxiu scolding the midwife in the room for pressing on the pregnant woman's belly, and the midwife even talked back because she was experienced.

She looked at Ji Mingze, whose face was full of anxiety and who looked completely distraught: "You won't allow it?"

Ji Mingze was taken aback, his reaction somewhat slow.

"What?"

"It's us who won't allow it."

The elderly couple from the Ji family walked over.

"Dean Lu, they are all students who don't know anything. Going in would only cause trouble, so we didn't let them in."

The two men were quite humble towards Lu Qingqing.

Lu Qingqing nodded, indicating her understanding.

Seeing that she seemed easy to talk to, the elderly couple quickly pleaded, "Dean Lu, please go in quickly and save my daughter-in-law and the child in her womb. The Ji family is willing to pay a consultation fee of one thousand taels."

“No problem,” Lu Qingqing said.

He then asked, "Who is in charge of the Ji family?"

Master Ji quickly replied, "It is I."

Lu Qingqing looked at Feng Shuang: "Blocking a doctor from entering is like closing the door to life; good fortune ends here. Go back and tell Sixi to write Master Ji's name in the red column."

After saying that, Lu Qingqing strode into the room.

The elderly couple left behind had drastic changes in expression.

Being business people, the two immediately understood what Lu Qingqing meant.

It's better to offend a petty person than a high-ranking official.

Besides, they are getting old and have been feeling unwell lately, so they can't afford to offend Fancheng's authority.

Seeing that Feng Shuang was about to leave, Master Ji quickly stopped her.

"Ladies, I misspoke just now. Please forgive me. Please come in and help!"

Feng Shuang and Dong Xiaofeng went inside without saying a word.

Then the midwife was kicked out.

"Dad, you really are something! You almost offended Dean Lu!" Ji Mingze stamped his foot.

"Dean Lu has always been gentle and kind, but he got angry just now!"

Is he gentle in nature and kind to others?

Is my son blind?

He only said one wrong sentence, and he almost ruined the Ji family's good fortune!

What's with the red border? It sounds like something bad, because the names of death row inmates are written in red ink!

"Master, is a cesarean section really feasible? Daughter-in-law..." Old Madam Ji's hands trembled as she clenched them.

"There's nothing we can do now! At least we can get the two children out," said Mr. Ji.

As for the adults, we'll leave it to fate.

"Who would have thought that Dean Lu was so young, and her disciple was even younger, with two young women who had never even given birth yet delivering babies inside?"

He sighed deeply, his tone dissatisfied: "If only a few of those doctors in the city had stayed back then, things wouldn't be like this now... My Ji family is rich, so what if they charge a little more!"

"Father! You're talking nonsense again!" Ji Mingze said angrily.

"Even if those doctors stayed, they couldn't save Lu Niang! But Dean Lu's medical skills are superb; she can bring the dead back to life! She can definitely save her, she definitely can!"

Master Ji shook his head with a gloomy face, "You're still young. Hiring someone to put on an act is a trick that powerful people love to play."

Ji Mingze didn't believe it!

Lu Yun is a reputable merchant. The medicinal herbs he sells are half the price that the Holy Physician Sect used to sell them for. Moreover, he personally witnessed Lu Yun giving several bottles of medicine to a little beggar with a fever!

He is a kind and benevolent person.

Lu Qingqing is the same.

Because the people at the banquet were clearly not wealthy; some were even dressed in rags.

She was powerful, but she did not bully the poor or favor the rich.

They didn't even want to take advantage of him for a meal, while the former Holy Doctor Sect had squeezed countless amounts of money out of the Ji family.

Therefore, Dean Lu is definitely not the kind of person who seeks fame and fortune!

After an incense stick had burned, the sound of a child crying came from inside the room.

"The baby is out!"

The three members of the Ji family were extremely excited, but then began to worry about the adults.

Half an hour later, the door opened, and Feng Shuang, with her head and mouth covered, only had her two smiling eyes showing.

"The mother and her two children are all safe. One son is strong, and the other is a little weaker. Bring in some hot water."

“Heavens…” Old Madam Ji covered her mouth and cried.

Ji Mingze's body finally went limp, and he almost fell to the ground.

They're alive! They're all alive!

Master Ji was stunned for a long time before hurriedly ordering people to carry water, instructing the steward to prepare silver, and then going alone to the storeroom to find the treasure.

While bending over in the warehouse, I was still thinking: Is it real? Or is it a scam?

Regardless of the truth, Datong Medical College now holds the highest status in Fancheng, so he has to curry favor with Dean Lu!

But by the time he returned with the treasures, Lu Qingqing was already gone!

She left only her personal disciple and two students behind to carefully instruct the maid on how to take care of the new mother.

"They're leaving? Did they give you the money?"

“Father, Dean Lu didn’t want the thousand taels at all! He only took ten taels of silver, saying it was for the disciples’ hard work.” Ji Mingze’s eyes were red.

"She said it was to offset the cost of that meal, but Mingming even designed some useful tables for our restaurant."

“I told you, Datong Medical College is definitely not the Holy Medicine Sect.”

If it were the Holy Physician Sect, saving a life on the verge of death would cost them at least a thousand taels of silver, and they would also owe them a favor!

Most importantly, in a situation like today, even if Ouyang Bingyan were to intervene, she probably wouldn't be able to save the master.

Dean Lu's medical skills truly deserve the title of "miracle doctor"!

"Yes, it's not the Holy Physician Sect..." Master Ji was speechless for a long time.

"Dad, you're getting old. I should be in charge from now on. Don't let you ruin our family's good fortune!"

"You bastard, I can't be bothered with you anymore!"

When Qiaoxiu and the others left, Master Ji stuffed the treasure into their hands.

Hey, I can't get it out!

Qiaoxiu clearly told him, "Master Ji, there's no need for money or treasures. Our dean said that no one is allowed to collect medical fees before obtaining a medical license. Anyone who does will be expelled from the academy."

If you truly want to thank me, then put your heart into it and sincerely apologize to my two junior sisters.

They are upright and righteous individuals, recognized by our dean as people of high moral character, not some unlucky bunch!

"Yes, yes, yes, I was narrow-minded."

Master Ji bowed deeply to Feng Shuang and Dong Xiaofeng, apologizing and expressing his gratitude.

Feng Shuang and Dong Xiaofeng's eyes welled up with tears again.

But she was smiling very brightly.

The dark clouds dispersed, and the sky was indeed bright and clear!

...

In the days that followed, Lu Qingqing devoted herself to artillery in addition to teaching.

The three Taoist priests were very helpful, and the craftsmen were also very helpful.

On a bright and sunny morning, a loud cannon blast echoed throughout the medical school.

The medicine bottle in Lu Qingqing's hand fell to the ground.

It's done?

She ran all the way to a corner of the academy.

Everyone was cheering.

"Little sister! We did it!"

"Such powerful force!"

"Dean Lu, it's a success! It's a success! This weapon will make the Western Liao flee in terror!"

Eyes brighter than the stars, faces with unshaven beards...

With tears in her eyes, Lu Qingqing gave them two thumbs up.

“However, we need to test it a few more times to eliminate any dangers and prevent our own people from getting hurt,” Lu Qingqing said cautiously.

“That’s right, but it’s too noisy to test it here. Let’s try it up in the mountains,” Lu Feng said.

Lu Qingqing nodded, "Put on your armor, safety first."
