Chapter 359: Trip to Northern Jiangsu (Cooperation)



For several days, Wen Luoxin stayed at the granary almost day and night, and many patients gradually recovered under her miraculous medical treatment.

In order to prevent secondary infection, Wen Luoxin once again asked the princess to arrange for the servants to clean up another room so that those patients who had recovered and were still being observed for subsequent symptoms could be placed together.

In just a few days, the streets of Huai'an, which were once filled with refugees and plague, gradually recovered and people were able to live their lives as normal.

The princess's recognition of Wen Luoxin's abilities now extends beyond her medical skills. She also calmly responded to several medical disturbances caused by patients.

So the princess handed the task of controlling the plague over to Wen Luoxin.

She herself went out of town to deal with the flooding.

The hot summer makes the world feel particularly dry and stuffy, especially in northern Jiangsu at this time of year. The temperature difference is so great that you may be wearing an outer robe the day before, but the next day you may be so hot that you want to wear a short shirt and a gauze skirt.

Wen Luoxin was invited to a teahouse in the city.

Passing through the lobby on the first floor of the teahouse and across the waterside pavilion in the backyard, you will find a quiet courtyard.

At this time, the door of one of the rooms was open, and a figure could be vaguely seen swaying inside.

The news Wen Luoxin received only said that it was an acquaintance in Beijing, but did not say who it was specifically.

She stared at the figure in the room, as long as it wasn't Qi He!

Near the door, the man inside suddenly turned around as if he heard some noise.

Wen Luoxin finally let go of the worry in her heart.

Her expression became calm, and she walked into the house with a perfect and appropriate smile on her lips.

In a friendly tone, he said, "Mr. Zhao, it's been a long time since we last met. Why do you look a little haggard?"

When Zhao Ju saw her traveling with the princess, he originally thought that his ally would turn into a political enemy. But now, listening to her calm expression and her casual conversation-like tone like a friend, it seems that is not the case?

Zhao Ju bowed and said, "Madam Qi, it's been a long time since we last met. I hope you are well."

Wen Luoxin frowned slightly. "Young Master Zhao, you can call me Miss Wen." She changed the subject and continued jokingly, "Or maybe you can call me Divine Doctor Wen like the people in the city?"

Zhao Ju smiled and said, "The name of Divine Doctor Wen is now known to everyone. Even the General of the Cavalry's Mansion in the capital has heard of him."

Hearing this, a glint of light flashed across Wen Luoxin's eyes, but her expression remained unchanged. She tentatively said, "The floodwaters haven't receded yet, and the roads are still blocked. Mr. Zhao is in northern Jiangsu, so he seems to be well-informed about the news in the capital."

Zhao Ju said, "I can't say I'm well-informed, but the medicine shops in the city often need to go to the capital to purchase goods, so they usually come and go frequently."

"Actually, I asked Miss Wen to come here because I have something to ask of you."

Wen Luoxin was surprised. What else could she ask for help from the grandson of a distinguished family of imperial physicians?

"Please go ahead?"

Zhao Ju raised his hand: "Please sit down, young lady. Let's sit down and talk in detail."

Wen Luoxin nodded and sat down next to Zhao Ju.

She watched as Zhao Ju, who always looked down on her, bent down slightly, lowered his posture and poured tea for her, then served it with both hands.

A trace of doubt flashed through Wen Luoxin's mind. She took the teacup with both hands but did not drink it.

Ever since she got into trouble with Li Nian, she has been extremely cautious and never drinks alcohol handed to her by others easily.

Especially when the other party's purpose is unclear.

Seeing her concern, Zhao Ju chuckled: "Miss Wen, why don't you drink it? Is it because Su Bei's tea is not to your taste?"

"I'm not thirsty. Just tell me your purpose. If I can help, I will."

"Okay, Miss Wen is indeed straightforward. I'll speak frankly then." Zhao Ju spoke sincerely and slowly, "I've heard my father praise Miss Wen's medical skills many times. Even in the capital, her medical skills are among the best. I'd like to invite you to your house to see my wife."

"Your wife?" Wen Luoxin looked at him doubtfully, "If I remember correctly, Mr. Zhao has never married."

Zhao Ju remained calm and said, "My wife's status is special, so we haven't married yet." He stood up and bowed, "Miss Wen, you'll know once you meet her. She's an old friend of yours. If you can cure her, I will do my best to help you with any difficulties in the future."

Seeing his sincere attitude, Wen Luoxin had a vague guess in her heart about who the wife Zhao Ju was talking about.

He nodded and said, "Okay, since you are so sincere, I will go with you."

Zhao Ju was delighted when she agreed. "The carriage is ready. Miss Wen, please come with me to the mansion right now. My wife's illness cannot be delayed."

Wen Luoxin followed Zhao Ju into the carriage.

The simple and plain carriage is not at all noticeable in a city with such good conditions as northern Jiangsu.

On the way, Wen Luoxin looked at the streets lined with shops.

The corners of his lips curved in a pleased arc.

If she could get help from the imperial physician family, her future would be smoother.
