Chapter 2: The Fifth Daughter of the Ji Family is Found!
Ji Qingwu's journey to this place was merely a soul transmigration.
She borrowed the body of a young lady from an official family. Coincidentally, the young lady also had the surname Ji and looked exactly like her. However, this Miss Ji was lost when she was young and was later adopted by an old doctor in the mountains.
If the people who come are members of the Ji family...
Ji Qingwu's heart was pounding.
If she had any strength, it would be that what she fears most often comes to pass. A woman's intuition is remarkably accurate in her.
For example, that night she tied the man to the bed, and although they only had sex once, when she walked out of the military tent, her back and legs aching, she knew she would be pregnant.
Ji Qingwu stopped what she was doing and looked towards the door.
To protect the clinic from wind, sand, and mosquitoes, she specially hung a white gauze curtain at the entrance.
The newcomer reached out and lifted the curtain, stepping into the main hall first in black official boots. He was a tall, handsome young man with a refined profile.
The woman was waiting at the door. When he came in, she respectfully greeted him, "Sir."
Ji Changlin nodded slightly.
"As you expected, this Fifth Doctor is a capable person. My illness is due to insufficient birth material, which is exactly the same diagnosis made by the divine physician Le Xi in Lin'an City."
At first glance, Ji Qingwu knew that the man in front of him was a talented young man with a dignified appearance and an extremely upright demeanor.
Ji Changlin first bowed and said, "Fifth Doctor, my surname is Ji. I am passing through this place on my way to Nan Chu. I heard the locals praising your medical skills, so I would like to ask you to treat my family members."
Ji Qingwu was inwardly uneasy, but outwardly remained calm.
She glanced at the woman dressed as a married woman and said coldly, "If that's the case, why bother testing me, sir? It's just that Southern Chu and Lin'an City are thousands of miles apart, and I'm the kind of person who dislikes making trouble."
He looked at Ji Qingwu more closely from head to toe. Although the female doctor was not particularly beautiful, she had a gentle temperament, especially her delicate voice and the graceful waist that could not be hidden under her plain brocade clothes.
However, her fingers were clenched tightly, and she looked preoccupied, as if she were hiding many secrets.
Ji Changlin became suspicious and continued, "Fifth Doctor, Southern Chu is, after all, a wild and uncivilized place. Judging from your accent, you should also be from Lin'an. Now that the new emperor has been on the throne for three years, the people of Lin'an are living in peace and happiness. Why not return to your hometown?"
The ruler of the Great Liang Kingdom was licentious and tyrannical, and the kingdom was already on the verge of collapse when she transmigrated there.
Now, the new emperor of Beili has taken over Lin'an City.
Ji Qingwu didn't pay much attention to this news, but everyone on the streets was talking about how brave and unparalleled the new emperor was.
He led the troops of Badu across the river, launched a surprise attack on the enemy, and killed the enemy leader in the enemy camp. He also dealt with the rebellious ministers and remnants with swift and decisive measures.
Seeing that she was thinking, Ji Changlin continued to encourage her, "With your medical skills, you will definitely have no problem establishing yourself and making a living in Lin'an. If you need any help, the Ji family has many shops that can be rented to you at a low price, or we can send people to help you with some things."
He offered her such a huge benefit right off the bat.
Who in the Ji family is actually infertile?
Ji Qingwu pinched her little finger and said softly, "Lord Ji, perhaps everyone loves the prosperity of the capital, but I prefer the unique scenery of a border town."
Ji Changlin raised an eyebrow and sat down opposite her.
He had already thoroughly examined the clinic without making a sound. He noticed a picture book on the corner of the table, a book specifically for young children's early education.
There must be a three- or four-year-old child in the doctor's family.
He asked, "Oh? You don't even care about your child's future?"
Ji Qingwu's face stiffened; he had actually realized that he was pregnant.
But her daughter was not at her clinic at that moment.
When she first arrived in this place, she was busy making a living, so she found a reliable family to live with.
During the day, she sends her beloved daughter, Qiuqiu, to foster care while she is busy at the clinic. She then brings her back to live with her at night.
Ji Changlin casually picked up the picture book on the table, flipped through a few pages, and said leisurely, "Parents who love their children plan far ahead for them. A small picture book is not enough to be an enlightenment book. We still need to find a proper teacher."
Ji Qingwu's throat was dry. She licked her lips, picked up the teacup on the table, and drank it all in one gulp.
If there's anything bad about living in Southern Chu, it's that her little chick is already four years old, the age when she needs to be sent to school for her early education.
However, the people here have to worry about surviving and having enough to eat first, so the upbringing of their children naturally has to come later.
Ji Qingwu had always hoped to find a good teacher for Qiuqiu, so that she could at least learn more about how to make a living.
Seeing that her expression softened, Ji Changlin continued, "I guess that Madam's youngest son is at the age where he needs guidance in his studies. Why don't you come back to Lin'an City with us and reunite with your family?"
At first glance, the word "family" comes to mind.
For some reason, the man's face popped into Ji Qingwu's mind first.
She shook her head vigorously and looked up to see Ji Changlin staring at her thoughtfully.
Ji Qingwu couldn't help but sweat. She picked up a burlap sack from the table and wiped her forehead, revealing her dazzlingly white wrists.
Ji Changlin looked at the brown stain on the linen, leaned closer, and smiled, saying, "Fifth Doctor, why don't you dare show your true face?"
This person must be a fox spirit reincarnated!
Ji Qingwu's secrets crumbled one by one before his eyes.
Her eyes flashed with annoyance: "My lord, I simply like this makeup and attire. Is that a crime?"
"Naturally, it's not illegal."
The towns along the border between the two countries are filled with people who have fled famine, and therefore, most of them are refugees.
Ji Changlin changed his gentle tone and said seriously, "But do you and your child have household registration documents? Is it legal for you to live here? People without documents will be deported from the border and tattooed."
Tattooing is a form of punishment that involves carving characters into exposed skin; how could that be allowed?
This is a threat to her!
Ji Qingwu looks gentle and weak, but that's because no one has provoked her.
She slammed her hand on the table.
The square sandalwood table collapsed under stress, and wood chips flew through the air.
Ji Changlin was surprised to find that she was so strong that she could shatter a wooden table with one hand, and he took a few steps back.
The woman who had been seeing the doctor nimbly stepped in front of him; she seemed to be his guard. She scolded, "You audacious shrew, how dare you disrespect the envoy of Beili!"
Ji Qingwu snorted coldly. His identity was that of an envoy from Beili. No wonder he was eloquent and meticulous.
She stared at the two people in front of her, without a trace of fear.
Over the years, whenever she cured a patient, she would exchange skills in the system. She mostly exchanged for self-defense skills. In terms of strength alone, the two of them combined could not match her.
Just as the atmosphere was becoming increasingly tense.
A little figure popped out from behind the curtain.
He looked to be three or four years old, but his steps were extremely steady.
The little girl had chubby cheeks and a naturally smiling face. Holding something in her hands, she ran straight towards Ji Qingwu with her short legs.
Ji Qingwu desperately tried to signal to her daughter with her eyes.
"Mother!"
A very loud call was heard.
They're afraid others won't know who their child is.
