Chapter 477 Sister Nuan, save me!
Lu Shizhu swallowed hard. The next second, he squatted down, picked up the radish, and stuffed it back into the box, slamming the box shut.
Then, with trembling hands, he handed the box to Jiang Nuanzhi: "Um, Dr. Jiang, this is from my father."
As he spoke, he desperately winked at Jiang Nuanzhi, then forced a smile that looked even uglier than a grimace.
Jiang Nuanzhi looked at Elder Lü, then at Lü Shizhu.
Does he think his father is blind?
Sure enough, the next second, Old Lu turned around, grabbed the cane from Grandpa Ma who was watching the commotion behind him, and carried it straight towards Lu Shizhu.
"If I don't beat you to death today, you unfilial son, I'll take your surname!"
"Father, Father, calm down, calm down! I can explain!" Lu Shizhu took off running, shouting as he ran.
Old Master Lü relentlessly pursued him, shouting, "Tell me! Where did you put my red ginseng? Huh? My family heirloom! What a sin! What a sin! I'll take you to your grandfather today to explain! I even gave the box to Doctor Jiang. I've completely lost face today!"
In a daze, Old Master Lü suddenly remembered that Lü Shizhu had actually stuffed the radish back into the box, trying to give it to Doctor Jiang. He immediately slapped himself across the face!
"How shameful! How could I have been born a thing like you!"
At this moment, perhaps due to anger, Old Master Lü moved with incredible speed. He actually caught up with Lü Shizhu and was already striking him with his cane.
Lu Shizhu immediately cried out, "Help! Help! Sister Nuan, save me! Dad, I didn't mean to, I really didn't mean to, I... I originally wanted to give this red ginseng to Sister Nuan, but then something unexpected happened!"
Old Lu stopped walking with his cane: "What did you say?"
Lu Shizhu immediately rubbed his buttocks, broke free, and hid behind Jiang Nuanzhi.
"Sister Nuan, help! My father is going to kill me!"
Jiang Nuanzhi quickly stopped Old Master Lü, and said with a wry smile, "Old Master Lü, please don't be angry. Let him finish what he said. What he said is absolutely true. He did give me the red ginseng, but I didn't accept it and let him take it back."
Lu Shizhu nodded vigorously: "That's right, that's right, I meant well. It's just that Sister Nuan didn't accept it, and I was thinking of putting it back when I got back, but Dad, you were always home, so I didn't have a chance. Then I went out to play for a while, and who knew, on the way back, on the road..."
"What's happening on the streets?" Old Lu's hand, gripping his cane, trembled. "What's happening on the streets?"
"I...I...I accidentally lost it." As soon as Lü Shizhu finished speaking, he realized something was wrong and immediately swore, "I really went back to look for it, but I couldn't find it. That red ginseng is valuable; someone must have picked it up."
"You wicked child! You...you..."
Old Lu gasped, and the next second, his eyes rolled back, and he staggered and fell to the ground.
Everyone was startled and immediately helped him up.
Without saying a word, Jiang Nuanzhi quickly patted him on the back and then pinched his philtrum to wake him up.
"Old Lu, it's really not worth getting so angry, it's not worth it at all."
Old Lu took several breaths to catch his breath: "Dr. Jiang, I'm sorry you had to see this."
The next second, he grabbed the scepter again and swung it at Lü Shizhu, shouting, "I'll beat you to death today, you wretched child! What a disgrace to our family!"
He was so angry that his beard trembled.
"It's partly my fault. I should have just accepted it back then." Jiang Nuanzhi was speechless for a moment. She should have just accepted the red ginseng. She glanced at Lü Shizhu, who was cowering with his head down, and felt that he deserved the beating.
"Please don't say that! It's all this unfilial son's fault!"
Old Lu gritted his teeth: "Doctor Jiang went out today, you wait to come home."
"Old Master Lü, please get up first." Lord Feng also came over to help him up.
"Dr. Jiang, are you really going to the capital? It seems the news we received was true! So you really are going to Kyoto to take up your post?"
Before the matter of red ginseng could be sorted out, Jiang Nuan was startled to hear someone speaking beside her. She turned around abruptly and saw Young Master Xue looking at her in shock.
"Young Master Xue? What brings you here?"
Upon seeing Jiang Nuanzhi's appearance, Young Master Xue was taken aback for a moment, then immediately said, "My parents heard from somewhere that you were going to the capital to take up your post, and they took the liberty of visiting you today. Now it seems that the news is true? Congratulations. With your medical skills, you will surely be entrusted with great responsibilities in the future."
Jiang Nuanzhi nodded shyly, "Thank you, Young Master Xue."
"Just tell me it's true. You're really not good enough. It's a good thing you came, otherwise you would have missed seeing Dr. Jiang."
Behind them, Dean Xue, accompanied by his wife, and followed by Master Du and his entourage, hurriedly walked towards them.
When Madam Xue arrived, she tightly grasped Jiang Nuanzhi's hand and carefully examined her face: "Great news, Doctor Jiang! Congratulations! I was so worried about visiting you during the New Year when the snow blocked our door. I came to visit after the New Year, but you weren't home. You've lost so much weight in all this time! Your skin... oh my, if you were on the street, I probably wouldn't recognize you!"
Madam Xue was filled with amazement.
Dean Xue, standing beside her, was also filled with amazement. It had been quite a while since they had seen Jiang Nuanzhi. They were surprised to see her grow up to be so beautiful.
This woman's medical skills are truly exceptional. Her previously unremarkable appearance has become even more radiant after losing weight. Now that she has been appointed to a post in the capital, she is no longer the same person she once was.
Thinking this, his gaze couldn't help but fall on Ping'er again.
"Hmph!" Dean Yue, who was standing next to Dean Xue, couldn't help but snort coldly when he saw Dean Xue. He then crossed his arms to block Dean Xue's view and looked over with a warning.
Dean Xue curled his lip. What's the point of this kind of protectiveness?
How could someone as unconventional as his senior brother possibly teach students well?
After the preliminary exam, Li Junping will surely fail. At that time, Xie Liangchen's outstanding talent will likely make him famous overnight. Li Junping will then know who is capable and who is a good-for-nothing. It won't be too late for him to make Xie Liangchen his disciple then.
Then I can hand in several more points.
For a moment, he didn't even look at Dean Yue, but stood smiling in front of his wife. After listening to his wife and Doctor Jiang talking, he waved to the servant beside him: "Hurry up and take the gifts that my wife and I prepared to Doctor Jiang."
"Yes, yes, I thought you were in such a hurry to go to the capital that you probably didn't have time to prepare clothes, shoes, and socks. I also brought some food, drinks, and a few small items to keep you entertained on the journey. However, these clothes were bought according to your previous size, so they might be too big. Can you wait? I'll have someone go and exchange them for a better fit right away."
