Chapter 466 A Rare Female Doctor

To find out the man's purpose, Chuan Bai led his men to keep watch at night.

In the middle of the night, two men entered the Gao family home.

A young man and an old man with gray hair.

Master Gao addressed the old man as his cousin.

"Lu Qingqing agreed and will take people over tomorrow."

The old man asked, "Didn't the people with her stop her?"

"No, those people looked very ordinary. They did whatever Lu Qingqing told them to do, just like the guards I hired."

Master Gao smiled ingratiatingly: "Cousin, after Lu Qingqing heals my nephew, will my son be able to marry the daughter of the Wang family in the prefectural city?"

"Yes, I have a very good relationship with Master Wang. If I can mediate, there will be no problem."

The old man was slightly hunched over, with his hands behind his back, his right hand hidden under his left. He walked with the swaying of an ancient bell, exuding an air of arrogance and disdain born of rich experience.

Master Gao was pleased.

Wang's Tea Shop is famous far and wide. The family has only one daughter. If their son marries her, wouldn't the Wang family's business all belong to the Gao family in the future?

"Cousin, nephew, the rooms have been prepared for you. Go and rest."

The old man and the man entered the room.

The man asked nervously, "Dad, can she really cure my illness? Don't let me lose my manhood."

"If you delay treatment any longer, you'll still become a disabled person."

The man fell silent, took a deep breath, and said, "Then, Father, you should go in with me and keep an eye on her."

"no."

The old man spoke in a somber tone.

"Why not? Dad, I'm your only son. Aren't you afraid someone will do something bad to me?"

"Don't worry, I've found out everything," the old man said. "Since Lu Qingqing started practicing medicine, she has never made a mistake. Her medical skills are very strong, and she won't agree to anything she's not confident about."

And like her mother, she upheld the principles of a healer's compassion and considered herself righteous; even if she couldn't cure someone, she wouldn't harm them.

"Dad, you still know her mother?" his son asked in surprise.

The old man snorted. "Didn't the notice say that her mother was the only palace physician, Shui Zhongyue?"

A shadow crossed his eyes.

"Let me be frank with you, the reason why we went to such lengths to ask the Gao family to step in was firstly to test the relationship between the Crown Prince and Lu Qingqing. Now it seems that Lu Qingqing dares to treat men's diseases, so she and the Crown Prince are not in that kind of relationship. We are not afraid of being punished by the Crown Prince in the future."

The second point is that the father and Shui Zhongyue have a grudge.

Back then, she was favored by the ladies in the palace and was the center of attention, which caused her father to be ridiculed by the nobles and lose his position. Fortunately, Ouyang Bingyan entered the palace, and her father and she conspired to have her kill the already sickly fourth prince.

It's a pity that my father later touched something that caused his fingers to rot. If they hadn't been cut off, he wouldn't have survived. In the end, he had no choice but to retire and return to his hometown.

The old man stretched out his right hand, looked at his severed thumb, index finger, and middle finger, and lamented his misfortune.

If his hand had been intact, he might already be the head of the Imperial Medical Academy.

The old man guessed: "Shuiyue probably didn't know that it was her father who framed her, but her father and she have always been at odds, so she probably could guess a thing or two."

I don't know if she's mentioned it to her family, which is why her father can't show up, in case he gets recognized.

His son then understood the reason.

“Then Father should be careful. After all, she used the Crown Prince to destroy the Holy Physician Sect. If Father finds out about this, he won’t survive either.”

The old man spat and said disdainfully, "Shui Zhongyue is just a lowly female doctor who loves to read those lewd stories."

Her daughter was the same; she must have used some seductive tricks to get close to the Crown Prince.

She agreed so readily, which shows she's confident and it's definitely not her first time treating someone, so you can rest assured.

Once she's cured your male ailment, we'll spread the word far and wide and get all men to go to her. Let's see if she still has that good reputation!

Women should stay at home, be good wives and mothers, and stay peacefully at home. Those who go out to practice medicine are never clean!

...

Holy crap! Holy crap! Holy crap!

On the rooftop, Chuanbai shouted three times in his mind.

It turns out it really wasn't those people from the capital. After all that, it was this thing that was behind it all.

A treacherous villain hiding in the shadows.

He went back and reported everything to Lu Qingqing without missing a single word.

Lu Qingqing also exclaimed "Wow!" three times in a row.

One fish managed to slip through the net and then crawled back in!

She ran off to find Shan Yueming.

It was late at night, and it made Old Man Lu extremely resentful.

Today I took my wife out for hot pot and then to the city to see a play. We're exhausted.

He was giving his wife a massage, and just as she was about to fall asleep, his daughter started banging on the door.

"Qingqing, you need to know that it's not good to go to a couple's room late at night."

"Why not? I used to sleep among you all when I was little!"

You know that was when we were kids, is it the same now?

Lu Qingqing ignored her father and started babbling about the Lu family.

This infuriated Old Man Lu.

"Kill him! Kill him!"

Shan Yueming could no longer remember the minor figures who had appeared in her life.

It took me a long time to remember this person.

"So it was him! It really was Lu Feiwen who sent someone to sever my tendons outside the yamen."

Shan Yueming spoke with no trace of resentment, his tone calm and serene.

Old Man Lu, however, gripped her wrist tightly, his face turning ashen with distress.

He knew all too well how his hand had recovered.

He rescued Yue Niang from the thugs and took her home. Yue Niang was depressed for a while, refusing to eat or drink, and seemed to have no desire to live.

He fed her every day, begged a doctor to come to her house to treat her injuries, and spent all the money he had saved to become her apprentice.

He then asked the neighbors to watch over her while he went to carry goods for others.

That day, he injured his hand while carrying goods and brought back a chicken leg, perhaps stained with blood on the oil paper.

Moon Maiden's eyes finally cleared, and she looked at him.

"What do you want? You want me to be your wife? But my hands are useless, I can't wash your clothes or cook for you."

"I won't let you do laundry or cook. I'm not saving you to force you to be my wife. I just heard you're a female doctor. Female doctors are rare and shouldn't be mistreated."

After he said these words, a light shone in Yue Niang's eyes.

From then on, she began to treat her hands.

She wouldn't let him buy it from the pharmacy, but told him to find it in the mountains. Then she used her mouth to hold the silver needles and give them to her hands.

I get needle marks every day, and my wrists are covered in needle marks, not a single good spot.

Old Man Lu held Shan Yueming's hand, his eyes welling up with tears as he thought of those days.

Although my hands recovered later, they still hurt on rainy days.

How could we let that villain get away with this!

Shan Yueming grasped Old Man Lu's hand in return.

She also remembered that time.

Those arrogant imperial physicians in the palace, who were clearly inferior to her, looked down on her.

When she was being tortured in the yamen, the onlookers humiliated her, saying that she was a woman who had become a doctor through some connections.

Because she was a woman, no one could see her medical skills.

A poor boy who couldn't read a single word said that female doctors were very rare.

At that moment, a ray of light appeared in the pitch-black world.
