Chapter 19 She is not the only female doctor with excellent medical skills
Lu Zhiran's heart tightened.
He was tall, and when he approached her, she felt a strong sense of unease and disgust.
She almost forgot that they were still husband and wife. If he really wanted to do something, she wouldn't even have the right to refuse.
If I really let him touch me, I would be disgusted to death.
Lu Zhiran didn't look panicked at all, but rather had a calm expression.
"Great! I'd love to have that happen. I just don't know how Zhao Shuning would react when she finds out. She'd be mad with jealousy. If I get pregnant with my firstborn son, she'll never be able to dominate me again."
This one sentence was like pouring a bucket of cold water over my head, and the urge to satisfy my desire disappeared instantly.
He regained consciousness and rationality.
She took two steps back in disgust. "You're dreaming of having my child."
The fist in Lu Zhiran's sleeve relaxed slightly, but the string in his heart was still tense.
Chu Yian looked at her coldly, "In this life, I will never let you conceive my child, because you are not qualified!"
After saying that, he angrily threw his sleeves and left.
Although he had said those harsh words, he was still furious.
Even though he tried his best to ignore it, he still couldn't forget Lu Zhiran's sarcastic words.
That woman must be saying one thing and thinking another just to irritate me!
Looking at Chu Yian's back as he left in anger, Lu Zhiran's tense heartstrings finally relaxed completely.
Cui Fu was cleaning boxes and cages in the ear room, while Dan Yan was making snacks in the small kitchen.
These days, she cleaned up the small kitchen, started cooking again, and cooked whatever she wanted to eat.
She was a glutton and a good cook. Now that the snacks were ready, her good mood was gone.
The two immediately apologized to Lu Zhiran, "Please forgive me, my lady. It was all my negligence that I didn't realize that my son-in-law had come."
Lu Zhiran calmed down and waved her hand, "I don't blame you. This is the Marquis' Mansion. Even if you found out he was coming, you couldn't stop him."
This incident made Lu Zhiran realize that Yushengju was not her private territory. As long as she stayed in the Marquis' Mansion, she would be under his eaves and could not relax at all.
Thinking back to what Chu Yian had said just now, Lu Zhiran still felt uncomfortable.
I just don't want to stay in this shabby place for another day.
In the evening, Zhao Shuning walked out of the palace in the afterglow of the setting sun. There was a hint of fatigue on her face, but her eyes were bright.
Today, she performed a risky injection and Concubine Li's condition completely improved.
Concubine Li praised her highly and gave her a box of rare pearls as a reward.
Zhao Shuning touched the pearl in his arms, his eyes sparkling.
What she cared about was not the value of the box of pearls, but that she had finally established a good relationship with Concubine Li, and had also paved the way for the communication between the Xuanping Marquis Mansion and the Li family.
And all of this is something that Lu Zhiran, that woman, can never do.
When Jiang learned about this, she was very happy.
She called Zhao Shuning over, held her hand affectionately, and praised her repeatedly. Chu Yunqing also praised her very enthusiastically.
Zhao Shuning always had a perfect smile on his face. "I am a doctor. It is my responsibility to cure diseases and save lives. I just did what I should do."
Jiang sighed, "You are truly a capable child. Marrying you will bring honor to our family."
Jiang was an experienced woman and knew what Zhao Shuning liked to hear, so she praised her to the point of feeling extremely happy.
Chu Yunqing was very envious of her new pearls, but Jiang repeatedly told her to restrain herself and not to ask for them at this juncture. Her ugly eating habits annoyed her, so Chu Yunqing could only try hard to restrain herself.
But it doesn't matter, she will find a way to get it sooner or later, it's just a matter of time.
This matter also reached Yushengju.
Cui Fu and Dan Yan were both jealous, "She must have been incredibly lucky!"
"Yeah, she's just a young woman, how good can her medical skills be? It's just a blind cat catching a dead mouse!"
Lu Zhiran rarely spoke well of Zhao Shuning, "Leaving aside other things, she does have some medical skills."
However, she is not the only female doctor with excellent medical skills in this world.
Her thoughts turned, and she called Nanny Jin, "Nanny, I have something to ask Fugui to do."
Nanny Jin put on a serious expression and waited for instructions.
"Take out the ginseng from my warehouse and have him give it to Uncle Tan. If someone from the Xing family, the Minister of Personnel, wants to buy it, sell it to them at 30% off the market price. If they don't come to buy within five days, have Uncle Tan find a way to lure them in."
"Also, tell them that there's a doctor in Walnut Alley in the west of the city who has excellent medical skills and is good at treating strokes. He can even bring the dead back to life. If the patient receives timely treatment, they can recover as normal."
In the previous life, the old man of the Xing family suffered a sudden stroke and was in critical condition.
Later, the Xing family asked Zhao Shuning to go and treat him. Due to the delay, although Old Master Xing was lucky enough to survive, his eyes and mouth were crooked and he was paralyzed in bed.
In order to prevent his son from having to mourn because of his death, Old Master Xing endured this undignified life for several years.
Lu Zhiran asked the Xing family to go to Walnut Alley to invite that person. This would not only take away Zhao Shuning's credit, but also make the Xing family remember his recommendation and allow Old Master Xing to receive better treatment.
Besides this, she had another plan.
Lord Xing was an upright and impartial person. He was also in charge of the promotion and assessment of officials. Many people who wanted to get in touch with him were rejected.
My father, Lu Guanxuan, has been a third-rank minister of the Ministry of Revenue for many years. He has always wanted to follow in Lord Xing's footsteps to climb up the ladder, but he has repeatedly hit a wall.
Lu Zhiran's move was to pave the way for Lu Guanxuan.
It's not that she is very filial to her father, but she wants to use this as a bargaining chip to make him accept her and return home.
Her family was wealthy, so she could naturally buy a house outside, but since she was a woman, she was not qualified to set up a household outside.
Unless she gets married or establishes a female household.
Therefore, she could only rely on her father and return to the Lu family.
The world is so unfair to women.
With the emperor's decree, my father didn't dare to say anything on the surface, but the Lu family would definitely not treat me well.
Since her father is unreliable, she can only rack her brains and plan carefully to pave the way for her future.
After hearing this, Nanny Jin couldn't help but wonder how the young lady knew so much.
Although I was confused, I didn't ask any more questions.
My young lady is now acting more and more in an orderly manner, so I just have to follow her orders.
Nanny Jin didn't delay at all and turned around to look for Fugui.
In three days, it will be the wedding day of Chu Yian and Zhao Shuning.
Chu Yian's assignment was finally given. He was the commander of the infantry of the military garrison, a fourth-rank official, mainly responsible for the guarding and access control inside and outside the nine gates of the inner city.
Chu Yian was not satisfied with the transfer. Although his rank was promoted, the job was rather undignified. To put it bluntly, it was no different from that of a minor city patrol official.
Inevitably, Chu Yian once again took his anger out on Lu Zhiran.
If she had not entered the palace and caused such a scene that day, would her transfer have been more respectable?
On the other hand, Zhao Shuning has always been considerate and sensible. She never makes any demands on herself, but instead helps her share her worries and solve her problems.
The previous money solved the urgent need of the Marquis' Mansion, and the contributions she made in front of Concubine Li recently also established a connection between the Marquis' Mansion and the Li family.
Someone like her is a true good wife.
