After hearing what Xiao Ning said, Gu Yun remained silent, as if he also agreed to let Yu Jiao go.
"Thank you, General Xiao." Yu Jiao bowed and saluted, then said, "Your hand... may still be able to recover."
Xiao Ning's eyes widened when he heard this, and he asked in disbelief, "Are you saying you can cure my hand?"
"Are you serious?" Yang Yuanchen asked excitedly.
Yu Jiao nodded calmly and said slowly, "It's just that the broken bones need to be reconnected. I don't know if General Xiao Ning can endure the pain of broken bones."
Xiao Ning looked at his right hand. His knuckles moved slightly. He wanted to curl up his hand but couldn't make a fist. He laughed sternly, "What's the pain of a broken bone? I, Xiao Ning, am not a coward. What can't I bear?" He looked at Yu Jiao and lowered his voice, "If... the broken bone is reconnected, can my useless hand be restored to its original state? Can I still hold the Thousand Riders Spear?"
Everyone's eyes were focused on Yu Jiao. Yu Jiao was not panicked at all. She said in a steady voice, "I'm not sure if I can recover as before, but holding a sword or a spear is definitely not a problem. Holding small objects like needles and hair may be a little inconvenient."
"If you're not completely sure, then how sure are you?" Gu Yunfa asked.
"I need to prepare some things. If everything is complete, I'll be 80% sure." Yu Jiao said.
With an 80% chance of success, the chance of recovery is still very high. Xiao Ning's heart surged when he heard this and he looked at Yu Jiao with envy in his eyes.
Yang Yuanchen pressed on, "What do you need? Miss Yu, just tell me, I'll get someone to prepare it."
Yu Jiao said methodically, "I need a thin steel knife, tweezers, and two kinds of needles - angle needles and round needles. I'll have to trouble you to find a steel smelter to make them for me, and some catgut."
The three things she mentioned were something that even the people present had never heard of, despite their wide knowledge.
"It's easy to find a master who can make Bailian Steel, but I'm afraid he has never heard of the corner needles and round needles. What is catgut?" Yang Yuanchen asked the question that was on the minds of several people.
Yu Jiao said carefully, "It doesn't matter if the steelmaker has never heard of it. I will draw a pattern and instruct him on forging. Catgut is taken from the intestines of sheep or lambs aged seven or eight months. The sebum and mucous membrane are scraped off, soaked and cleaned with medicine, and then smoked with sulfur to make a rope. This kind of thread can be absorbed by our body after being sutured with human flesh and blood."
After listening to her explanation, several people felt that they had broadened their horizons. Unconsciously, the way they looked at Yu Jiao had become a little different. No one dared to look down on her just because of her young age.
"It will take some time to prepare all these things. I wonder if my sister and I can leave now?" Yu Jiao said.
Yang Yuanchen couldn't make the decision, so he looked at Young Marquis Gu.
Gu Yun was very shameless, and said to Yu Jiao with a smile, "I didn't expect that you know so much at such a young age. You are really a female doctor!"
Yu Jiao's expression was indifferent, and she did not try to please him just because of his smile.
Yang Yuanchen said to Xiao Ning, "I will send someone to find a steel smelter outside the mansion. Brother Xiao, you should stay for a few more days. It won't be too late to leave after Miss Yu cures your hand disease."
Xiao Ning was afraid of implicating Yang Yuanchen, so he planned to leave Qingzhou tonight. But now he can't leave. His right hand is too important to him. If he can't hold the Thousand Riders Spear, he will be a useless person.
Xiao Ning nodded, "In that case, I will have to trouble Brother Yuanchen."
"Miss Yu, why don't you stay here for a few days and wait until General Xiao's hand is cured before leaving?" Yang Yuanchen said politely to Yu Jiao.
Yu Jiao smiled coldly, "Thank you Sir Yang for your kindness, but I can't. My sister and I were just visiting Madam Yang's house today, and we were set up and 'accidentally' got ourselves killed. Not to mention if we were to stay in the house, I am a doctor and I cherish my life very much. I really dare not stay in the house any longer."
There was something else behind her words, and everyone present could understand it.
Yang Yuanchen's face flushed, and he immediately said, "Miss Yu, don't worry. If what happened today was really done intentionally, I will definitely give Miss Yu and her sisters an explanation!"
"Then I would like to thank Lord Yang first." Yu Jiao added, "I will stay at the Mu family. When everything is ready, I will come to treat General Xiao's hand. I still need to prepare medicinal herbs and other things, so I won't stay any longer."
Yang Yuanchen looked at Gu Yun and Liu Ziqi, and seeing that they both had no objection, it seemed that they agreed to let the Yu Jiao sisters leave, so he said, "I'll see Miss Yu off."
He actually led the way personally and wanted to send Yu Jiao away.
Liu Ziqi's clear eyes fell thoughtfully on Yu Jiao's retreating figure. Gu Yun said with interest, "I didn't expect to meet such an interesting woman when I came to Qingzhou. Fortunately, I didn't break her neck just now, otherwise the loss would be great."
Liu Ziqi retracted his gaze and said to Gu Yun, "You need to change your temper of getting violent whenever you disagree with someone."
Thinking of what Yu Jiao had done just now, Liu Ziqi showed an elegant smile, "Although that little girl said she was born in a lowly family, she was bold and careful in her actions, and she was calm and measured, which is rare in the world."
Thinking that once she gained some power, she would force Yang Zhifu to severely punish those who harmed her, and then said with a smile, "Besides, she is intelligent and not the kind of person who will suffer any loss."
Xiao Ning also praised, "She looks young, but her medical skills are really amazing. What she said is very strange, but it sounds convincing."
"How about we stay a few more days before leaving? I want to see with my own eyes how she uses those items to treat General Xiao's hand!" Gu Yun touched Liu Ziqi's shoulder and said.
Liu Ziqi nodded. They had originally planned to help Xiao Ning escape danger and then set off for Changkui, but now that they had encountered such an interesting thing, they might as well stay for a few more days.
As for Chang Kui, he has been looking for him for so many years, so it doesn't matter if he finds him a day earlier or later.
He was still a little hesitant. If he really found Meng Qingshan, and the girl he took away was not Su Jian, what should he do?
Yu Fuling was waiting outside the bamboo forest anxiously, feeling worried, afraid, annoyed and angry. If looks could kill, she would have glared at the little maid kneeling at the garden gate until she was riddled with holes.
When she looked up, she suddenly saw Yu Jiao following behind Yang Yuanchen, walking towards her unharmed. She breathed a sigh of relief and hurried forward, holding Yu Jiao's hand, looking her up and down, and asked anxiously and concernedly, "Yu Jiao, are you okay? Did they do anything to you again?"
Yu Jiao felt warm in her heart and said softly, "It's okay, we can go now."
Yang Yuanchen smiled at Yu Fuling apologetically, "I apologize for offending you before. I will send you two Miss Yu."
Seeing his attitude had changed drastically, Yu Fuling cautiously held Yu Jiao's hand and followed Yang Yuanchen out of the garden.
Walking to the kneeling maid Xiaodie, Yang Yuanchen's face changed, and he said sternly to the servant guarding outside the garden, "Take her down and beat her with a heavy stick. Tell her clearly why you brought Miss Yu to the West Garden, and when will I stop beating her!"
"Yes!" Two trusted servants immediately stepped forward, grabbed the maid's arms with both hands, and dragged her out of the West Garden.
