Chapter 414 You're crazy, saying everything!
The ginger in front of him warmed his teeth.
What a terrible person he is!
fraud!
She thought he had made something of himself.
Haha, you're a father of several kids now, who are you trying to impress?
He angrily rolled up his sleeves and stormed toward his front door, but before he could even push it open, the door was already pushed open the next second.
In his left hand, Li Rong was carrying four bundles of tied pine nut candy and a string of medicinal herbs.
In her left hand she held a bunch of cut wintersweet branches, and in her right hand she held the jewelry box she had just bought for Jiang Nuanzhi on the street. A rope was hooked on her finger, and hanging from the rope was a stack of ancient books that the two of them had just selected.
He then hooked the bolt on the door, used his knee to push the door open, and kicked away some broken ice that had fallen from somewhere on the ground.
With a slightly apologetic smile, revealing a row of neat, white teeth, she said, "Anuan, go first."
Jiang Nuanzhi paused for a moment, looking at his somewhat disheveled appearance, and couldn't help but want to laugh out loud, but she held it back. She cleared her throat, hummed in agreement, and then put her hands behind her back and went into the courtyard first.
A glint appeared in Li Rong's eyes, and he unconsciously tugged at the corners of his mouth, following after her without thinking.
However, he was immediately pressed against his chest by a small, white hand, and just as he was wondering what was happening, that small hand pushed him out the door.
“Ah Nuan…”
Jiang Nuanzhi felt her body go weak at the sound of those two deep, seemingly doting words. Without even looking up, she coughed dryly and said, "What are you yelling about? Don't play the victim. Using your charm won't work. Hurry up and bring Da Niu in!"
Li Rong was stunned by his words and was somewhat confused.
He glanced at Da Niu, then at his obviously angry wife, and turned to leave. But halfway there, he felt something was amiss and immediately turned back to chase after Jiang Nuanzhi: "Nuanzhi, Da Niu, don't worry. I can actually explain to you. I didn't mean to push you away. I just didn't know what to do. I was only gently..."
The next second, Jiang Nuanzhi covered his mouth tightly, her narrow eyes filled with panic, and she almost squeezed out a few words through her teeth: "Are you crazy! You're going to tell me everything!"
She glanced back furtively and then behind her, and sure enough, she saw her front door open. The children were all coming out of the house.
Jiang Nuanzhi gritted her teeth and glared fiercely, warning, "Shut up. If you dare to say another word, I'll sew your mouth shut."
Li Rong: "..."
He raised his hand as if making a vow, and Jiang Nuanzhi rolled her eyes at him and secretly let go of his hand.
Li Rong removed the delicate hand from her lips, and the faint scent unique to A Nuan gradually dissipated. For a moment, she felt a deep emptiness in her heart.
"Mother, Father! You're finally back! People have come to visit!"
Ping'er and Xiao Er and a few others went out the door, talking to Jiang Nuanzhi and the other person as they walked.
The next second, a man rushed out of the door, stumbling and running towards them, nearly knocking the children over.
Jiang Nuanzhi quickened her pace and pulled Xiao Baozhu into her arms.
Li Rong frowned, turned and lay down in front of Jiang Nuanzhi and the child. He scanned the newcomers up and down, then frowned even more.
Judging from his shoes, boots, and belt, this man... is an official?
"Dr. Jiang, help!"
The man with bloodshot eyes bowed deeply to Jiang Nuanzhi, his eyes filled with tears.
Ping'er glanced at her confused parents and then explained, "He came seeking medical help, but he fainted before he could finish speaking. Coincidentally, he woke up as soon as Mother returned."
Jiang Nuanzhi also subconsciously looked over at the man. Upon seeing his face, she couldn't help but ask in surprise, "No wonder your figure seemed familiar earlier. Are you Lord Lu, the prefect of Canglin City?"
Lord Lu's voice trembled slightly: "Doctor Jiang, it is indeed I, Lu. I've finally found you! I was rude and offended you, Doctor Jiang. I deserve to die. I apologize to you, Doctor Jiang."
As he said this, he slapped himself hard across the face and then tried to kneel down.
Jiang Nuanzhi grabbed the man: "What do you mean by that, Lord Lu? How exactly do you want me to save your life? Please give me a plan, or I'll be completely clueless."
It wasn't really a grudge. He was the prefect of Canglin City and had some old acquaintance with General Wan. It's just that he had previously regarded Sanqi as a divine physician and considered himself an arrogant and rude person. He had said a few unpleasant things.
Jiang Nuanzhi hadn't paid much attention to it. It was only later, when the military advisor Shen advised her not to worry about it, saying that this official didn't have any bad intentions, that Jiang Nuanzhi remembered it.
"It was Lu who was reckless. My wife... my wife... I beg Physician Jiang to go to Canglin City to save her life."
Mr. Lu expresses his sincere gratitude to Dr. Jiang. He is willing to give away all his wealth, only asking that Dr. Jiang accompany him to save his wife.
"lady……"
Jiang Nuanzhi vaguely remembered that General Wan seemed to have mentioned this couple. It seemed that Lord Lu and his wife had never been able to conceive and had been trying to have a child all these years.
"What is the current situation of the lady? Where is she? Why hasn't she come?"
"She...she's now bedridden and can't get up, she really can't withstand the bumpy ride. That's why I've rushed here to ask you to come and make a house call. As long as Doctor Jiang accompanies me on this journey, I'm willing to offer you a thousand taels of silver in advance..."
As he spoke, his hands trembled. He reached into his pocket, but after touching it for a while, his expression suddenly changed drastically: "The bag, my money bag..."
"I...I...I just fainted. Has anyone seen my money bag? I..."
"Don't try to scam us! You're out of your mind, but we didn't touch your things. If we hadn't moved you inside in this freezing weather, you might have frozen to death."
The waiter, hands on his hips, said in a strong voice, "Take a good look at yourself. Maybe you've lost it while traveling."
Prefect Lu's face turned ashen instantly. He frantically searched himself several times, then tried to run out the door again. He muttered incoherently, "No money left, what am I going to do? It's all my fault, I couldn't bring back Doctor Jiang, what will happen to Fang'er... Fang'er..."
Jiang Nuanzhi immediately let out a breath and then quickly took two steps to stop him: "Lord Lu, don't worry, I'll go with you on this trip."
"Doctor Jiang..." Lord Lu was stunned for a moment, then his cracked and bleeding lips suddenly twitched open: "Good, good, good! I'll go prepare the horses right now! Doctor Jiang, rest assured, as long as you can save my wife, I'll be willing to give away all my wealth. I'll get the money for you as soon as I get back to the manor!"
Lord Lu's emotions were in turmoil. He had been without sleep for several days and his mind seemed somewhat scattered. At this moment, he spoke in a somewhat manic manner.
Jiang Nuanzhi sighed, "It's too early for you to say that, sir. I am a doctor, not a god. Whether Madam's illness can be cured or not, I will have to examine her first before I can say." With that, she turned to go upstairs to pack her things.
"Anuan." The next second, Li Rong grabbed Jiang Nuanzhi, who was about to go upstairs, his eyebrows furrowing slightly: "Are you leaving already? I'll pack my things too, and go with you."
Jiang Nuanzhi stopped Li Rong, saying, "No, it's good that you're home these two days. If you take good care of the children and the old man, I can go out with peace of mind. You've worked hard, keep it up."
After saying that, she tiptoed and patted Li Rong on the shoulder, then went upstairs with her hands behind her back to pack her luggage. Li Rong was left alone, dumbfounded.
