When the two arrived in Jingyuan Town, it was almost noon. After eating a bowl of wontons at a wonton stall, they went to Yuxuan Hall, a medical clinic that Fu Xiaoyu had designed for Cui Yulu.
It is not particularly magnificent, but it excels in its rich cultural heritage.
You can tell at a glance that a highly skilled doctor is working there.
Just as Cui Yulu was about to step inside, an old man came out to greet her. It was none other than her apprentice, the divine physician Ji Xiaotang.
It turns out that during the time Cui Yulu was missing, he had been practicing medicine at Yuxuantang, treating the local people and often helping those who couldn't afford medical care. At that time, Yuxuantang was quite famous in Jingyuan Town.
"Master, you're finally back! Thank God! I could tell from your face that you're no ordinary woman. Now that you're finally back, I can finally hand over Yuxuan Hall to you."
Ji Xiaotang excitedly welcomed her inside. At that moment, Xiao Chenyuan was preparing medicine for the guest. Upon seeing his savior, he quickly ran over to kowtow.
"Sister Yulu, you're finally back! That's wonderful! Are you going to stay here and run the clinic with us from now on?"
"That's definitely true. My biggest dream is to open a clinic to treat and save lives. I've helped you keep the clinic going until now, and I'm handing it all over to you now. I haven't had a drink in half a year, so I'm going to have a good drink to my heart's content today."
After saying that, the old man ran away as fast as he could, as if he was afraid that Cui Yulu would catch him if he was even a second late. By the time Cui Yulu came to her senses, he was already gone.
She shook her head helplessly; the old man still loved to drink as always.
"Chen Yuan, how is your grandmother?"
“My grandma has passed away peacefully. It was Grandpa Ji who took care of her. If it weren’t for your medicine, my grandma might have died any day now. Thanks to your medicine, my grandma lived for another year.”
This year was a long lifespan that Chen Yuan had gained in exchange, and he was still very grateful to her.
"So who do you live with now?"
“After my grandmother passed away, my uncle and aunt took back the house and kicked me out. I wandered around here. It was Grandpa Ji who saw my talent and took me in as an apprentice. Now I can independently dispense medicine for patients, but I can't write prescriptions. Grandpa Ji said I still need to learn more.”
Cui Yulu nodded in satisfaction. This child will surely be able to carry forward traditional Chinese medicine in the future.
"Good, very good. From now on, you should study hard here and strive to become a good doctor who can stand on his own as soon as possible."
"Sister, why isn't the brother who came back with you this time the same one as before, nor the kind-hearted prince?"
Cui Yulu glanced at the little mute boy beside her, smiled gently, and explained to him, "They both have things to do. This time, it was my older brother and sister who came back together."
Chen Yuan looked at the little mute boy and chuckled sheepishly.
"The older brother is also very handsome, and everyone around the older sister is good-looking."
"You little rascal, hurry up and get them the medicine, or Ji Xiaotang won't accept you as his apprentice anymore."
Upon hearing this, Chen Yuan quickly ran back to continue fetching the medicine.
"This place is great, I like it here, what about you?"
The little mute gestured with his hands to tell Cui Yulu that he was the only one by Cui Yulu's side here, and he felt very good to be valued.
"I like it here too, the familiar people and things, the familiar street scenes, but I'm still a little scared."
Suddenly, a commotion of footsteps came from outside, and the voices sounded very anxious.
"Is Dr. Ji here? My daughter-in-law is about to give birth and we need Dr. Ji's help to take a look."
The person who came was none other than Liu Meie. Liu Meie knew that this was the clinic that Fu Xiaoyu had given to Cui Yulu. Since it was built, the whole family had come here for all their medical problems. Fortunately, the legendary doctor Ji Xiaotang was on duty here, so it wasn't a wasted trip.
At least Ji Xiaotang had been taking care of Cao Qiaoniu's twin pregnancy, so he should be very familiar with Cao Qiaoniu's physical condition, and there shouldn't be any problem with a safe delivery.
Cao Qiaoniu had a fight with Han Hu a couple of days ago, which must have affected her pregnancy, causing her to start bleeding early. However, the baby was slow to come out, and after a day and a night of this, the mother was exhausted and had no strength to give birth. Now, she was bleeding uncontrollably, which greatly worried Liu Meie.
The moment their eyes met, both of them had a thousand words to say, but they had no time to say them now; saving their lives was the priority.
"Yulu, you've come at the right time. Hurry up, your sister-in-law is about to give birth, but the baby hasn't come out yet. You said you would help her give birth, so hurry up, or the baby and the mother will both be in danger."
Without exchanging pleasantries, Liu Meie went straight to the point.
Cui Yulu didn't have time to think much or catch up with old friends. She came here to see the family and to help Cao Qiaoniu give birth.
Fortunately, we made it in time.
"Auntie, let's go quickly."
With Chen Yuan overseeing the clinic and other doctors seeing patients, there shouldn't be any trouble. However, just as they were leaving, a man wearing a bamboo hat and a black robe was watching them from a hidden corner.
His eyes were filled with hatred; this time, he was determined to kill this woman.
They walked in silence to the delivery room, where Cao Qiaoniu's blood had stained the bedding, and she looked completely exhausted.
It seems impossible to continue production.
When the midwife saw Liu Meie return, she quickly came out to greet her and whispered, "It's not that we don't want to help you give birth, but the baby just won't come out. Your wife is too weak, so this delivery probably won't be smooth."
"Impossible. Those are my two grandsons and daughter-in-law. They absolutely cannot be harmed."
Han Hu was also standing sadly at the door, wanting to rush in to see Cao Qiaoniu, but was stopped by Liu Meie.
"You bastard, how could you do such a shameful thing? If anything happens to Qiaoniu, I won't let you off the hook."
"Mother really doesn't blame me. I was framed. I don't know what happened."
“I don’t want to hear what you’re saying. In short, you just hope my daughter-in-law and grandson are alright, otherwise I don’t want you as my son anymore.”
Cui Yulu didn't know what had happened before, but at this moment she felt that Cao Qiaoniu's life was slipping away little by little, and it was really urgent.
"Auntie, I'll go in first to check on my sister-in-law's condition. Please prepare some hot water; we'll need it later."
"What are you waiting for? Hurry up and get ready!"
While everyone was still in a daze, Liu Meie kicked each of them once, and the children started to move.
"Chunying, did I see that right? Was that dew?"
"I'm not sure, but the sound is that of Yulu."
"She seems even prettier than before."
Han Chunying glared at her second brother: "Don't overthink it. This rain and dew can't possibly follow you."
"I was just saying it casually. I still prefer my Qiaoyue, who is so gentle and understanding."
