Fu Baiheng certainly didn't believe in immortality techniques, but Xu Ziling's medical skills were indeed profound. Even doctors across the country were helpless, but she had cured Fu Yueli's eye disease. Keeping her around would be of some use. Besides, the last thing he lacked was money. If Xu Ziling could really research something, it would be a good thing for him. Fu Baiheng said, "Then give it a try."
Xu Ziling smiled and said, "Thank you very much, Second Prince. As for Du Ruzhen, I don't plan to kill him. You can sentence him to be beheaded in a few days. Of all his body, I only want his eyes."
Lu Lingyan waited for several days but saw no suspicious person entering the prison. The case began to be tried and Du Ruzhen was brought to the court for trial.
Fu Yueli and others attended the hearing and found Du Ruzhen emaciated and emaciated, looking more like a ghost than a human. Xu Ziling knelt beside him, while Fu Baiheng sat in the hall. Whenever Fu Baiheng asked a question, Du Ruzhen simply nodded and said yes, never uttering a single word in his defense. Finally, Yuan Daixu wrote the indictment and had Du Ruzhen sign it. Du Ruzhen woodenly admitted his guilt and placed his red fingerprints on it.
Shi Mingyue thought that Fu Baiheng probably threatened Du Ruzhen with his family, so Du Ruzhen pleaded guilty and signed the confession so readily. Xu Ziling ended up getting away with it, which was the same result as in the previous life.
The next day they set out for Lingzhou. The journey went smoothly and they soon arrived at Fu Yueli and Lu Lingyan's home.
At the Lu Mansion, the three of them first paid their respects to Old Master Lu and Old Lady Lu. Although the Lu family had once produced the mother of a nation, it had not prospered because of this. Empress Lu was averse to suspicion and did not want her family to receive unwarranted benefits because of her. Her parents and younger brother were also very strong-willed people and did not want to rely on Empress Lu's connections. The Lu Mansion was now headed by Empress Lu's younger brother, Lu Shulin. He did not enter the government, but opened the Jinyu Bookstore in Lingzhou, printing and selling books. With a substantial monthly income, the Lu family was considered a prominent household in the area.
Old Master Lu and Old Lady Lu were both over fifty years old, and both looked very kind. Shi Mingyue knelt before them. Seeing her beautiful face and graceful and polite manners, they felt from the bottom of their hearts that Fu Yueli had made a good wife. The old lady happily helped her up and asked warmly, "Are you tired from the journey? Lingzhou is close to the sea, so it's hotter than the capital. Are you used to it?"
Shi Mingyue also answered obediently: "Thank you for your concern, Grandpa and Grandma. I'm fine. I'm not unaccustomed to it."
Fu Yueli looked at the harmonious scene in front of him and his mood became better and better. He suddenly remembered that he forgot to tell his grandparents about his eyes, so he smiled and said, "Grandpa and grandma, there is another good news. My eyes have been cured, and now I can see you." He had been hiding this matter from the two elders before. The only people in the Lu family who knew that his eyes had healed were his uncle and Lu Lingyan.
Upon hearing this, the two elders hurriedly looked towards him and noticed that their grandson's eyes were truly shining. They were overjoyed and the old lady murmured to herself on the spot: "Wanzhen, you can rest assured in heaven. A-li can see now!"
The old man also stood up excitedly, looked into his grandson's eyes seriously, and patted his shoulder heavily.
The atmosphere in the hall was very lively when suddenly a sweet voice came from outside the door, saying happily, "Cousin, you're back!"
