Abandoning a daughter never abandons, a medical concubine should be self-reliant

Chapter 38 Finding the Old Woman
Li Siqi did not disgrace the holy order, the emperor was very satisfied!As soon as she returned to the Tongren Medical Center, the reward arrived, she was allowed to practice medicine freely, and she was rewarded with many rare and valuable medicinal materials.

This ending is quite satisfactory, and the precious medicinal materials are very suitable for her, but she is even more happy to be able to practice medicine freely.

With the approval of the emperor, it will be more justifiable for her to cure diseases and save lives!

The Holy Majesty has spoken, Doctor Zhang of the medical center can no longer let Li Siqi sit in court.

However, apart from regretting, he was more pleased, after all, his apprentice was recognized by the emperor, and he was honored.

Li Siqi saw Doctor Zhang's reluctance, and comforted her: "Master, no matter whether I will still sit in the Tongren Medical Center in the future, I will always be your apprentice, and I will always remember your kindness!"

Doctor Zhang stroked his beard and laughed loudly, "I am very pleased to be a teacher if you have such a heart! Siqi, what are your plans in the future?"

Li Siqi lowered her eyebrows, "Master, I have some personal matters to deal with, and I may be away for a few days, but don't worry, I'll be back when I'm done!"

"Well, go ahead and get busy, the location of the medical center will always be reserved for you, the current situation is a bit turbulent, don't stay outside for too long.

Try to return to the medical center to live, you are alone, and you are not at ease as a teacher! "Doctor Zhang enjoined earnestly.

Li Siqi got up and bowed in a dignified manner, and solemnly replied: "Thank you Master, this disciple understands!"

Back in the wing room of the medical center where she lived, Li Siqi changed her hair in a bun, put on men's clothes, and went straight to Qizhu Street.

The top priority is to find the weird old woman as soon as possible. This matter has been on her mind for a long time, like a heavy weight, making her a little breathless.

When we arrived at Qizhi Street, the pedestrians on the street were still as lively as before, and there was no slight change from the previous visits.

On the way to Ji's old house, Li Siqi searched here and there, but there was no sign of the old woman.

And the old house is still the same as when she came last time, as if no one has been there again, the cobwebs are denser, the dust is thicker, and the weeds are more luxuriant.

Li Siqi was disheartened, like a drowning person who had lost his life-saving straw and was drained of his last strength, and sat dejectedly on the steps of the ruins.

While he was dazed and at a loss, a hoarse and deep voice suddenly sounded: "Hong'er, are you back?"

Li Siqi was overjoyed, this voice was clearly the old woman she had been looking for for a long time!
Immediately got up and looked up, he was facing a face with horrific scars and tears.

At this time, this face is full of disbelief, and the eyes are full of doubts, surprises and relief!

"Like, like, really like it!" The weird old woman said excitedly with a broken stick and beat the ground again and again.

Li Siqi turned from joy to bewilderment. Although she was a little panicked seeing the old man's reaction, she still bit the bullet and asked, "Grandma, what are you talking about? Who is your name Hong Er?"

The old woman threw away her walking stick, grabbed her hands, her hands trembled, and her voice trembled a little: "I won't admit it wrong, you are Hong'er's child, right?"

Hong Er, Li Siqi repeated it in a low voice, and then realized that it should be Ji Hong, so who is the old man in front of him?

Hearing her address Ji Hong so intimately, he must be his elder!
In a moment of excitement, Li Siqi blurted out, "Are you...?"

"I'm Hong'er's nanny! Everyone calls me Granny Ding!"

Sure enough, as she expected!
Li Siqi's eyes were blurred with tears, and she choked up and said, "Grandma Ding, I am Ji Hong's daughter!"

Granny Ding's gray and dull eyes were shining brightly in an instant, and she grabbed Li Siqi's hand and tightened it until her hand hurt, "Are you Qi'er?"

Li Siqi felt that her throat was tight and her eyes were astringent, so she nodded heavily in response!
When Granny Ding saw it, she burst into tears immediately, "Qi'er, it really is you, heaven has eyes!"

After speaking, she hugged Li Siqi and burst into tears.

The two cried for a while and calmed down.They each described what happened after the catastrophe.

It turned out that Granny Ding was slashed severely by the gangster and fell to the gate, but she was not fatal, she just fainted to death.

When she woke up, the killers were gone, the remaining flames reflected the morning glow in the sky, and everything was reduced to ashes.

But she always had a vague feeling that the blood of the Ji family was still there, and the Ji family was not dead, so she pretended to be a beggar and waited here for more than ten years.

At first, she was full of hope, but after three to five years, no surviving Ji family members showed up.

Ten years have passed, and the tragedy of Ji's family has been forgotten in the smoke and dust of history, and she gradually doubts her intuition.

After suffering year after year, just when she thought she was about to die with such regret, Li Siqi appeared.

Granny Ding said that when she first met her, she was very vigilant, full of vigilance, and she was seriously ill, so she kept avoiding her.

Until today, when she disguised herself as a man, she seemed to see Ji Hong when she was young, and she was convinced that she was Ji's family, so she came out to recognize her.

Granny Ding talked on and on for a long time, as if she wanted to finish what she had buried in her heart for more than ten years at once.

She caressed Li Siqi's black and smooth hair with a hand like a dead branch, with a doting face on her face, "Mr. Qi'er really looks like your father when he was young!"

At this time, Li Siqi had mixed feelings in her heart, and all kinds of doubts and confusions from before came to her mind again. She calmed down, and she asked:
"Mother-in-law, what did you mean last time when you said 'lucky days are always ringing, and the sky is a bad omen'?"

Granny Ding stared into the distance, fixed on a misty cloud in the sky, and her memory seemed to be pulled to a far, far time.

"The Ji family's ancestors have a secret method of life and death, which is extremely effective. Perhaps it is because of this that the Ji family is thin and short-lived.

After the old man's wife died young, I tried my best to bring up Hong'er, but Hong'er was able to live up to her expectations, and became an envoy of the Imperial Hospital at a young age.

But since meeting Concubine Kang, everything has changed.

Her mother's family helped us.

The Ji family's secret method of giving birth is a very secret thing, but Concubine Kang didn't know how she knew that she asked Hong'er to help her have a child in order to invite her favor and repay her kindness.

In order to repay her kindness, Hong Er had no choice but to do so. Originally, everything went smoothly. Concubine Kang gave birth to twins, and everyone was happy.

Later, the Holy Majesty ordered Hong'er to be in charge of another nobleman's pregnancy, but that nobleman gave birth to a strange baby, which coincided with the day when the jinniao was singing and the world was severely drought.

Emperor Longyan was furious, blamed Hong Er, and put him in prison..."

Li Siqi already knew most of what Granny Ding said, but it was the first time she had heard about the secret method of giving birth and repaying favors.

Is there really a secret way to have a son?The advanced technology level of modern times cannot be achieved, let alone the backward and ignorant ancient times?

Perhaps it is ignorance that deceives people's eyes and ears, so that they spread rumors in a miraculous way, which is even more bizarre!
However, it is not sure whether there is a way to have a son, but there must be thousands of ways to harm people and give birth to freaks, and people who understand medicine can do it with a little manipulation.

Besides, people's hearts are greedy. For the sake of solid favor, if there is a first time to repay the kindness, it will inevitably be the second time and the third time...
