The days when I was an obstetrician and gynecologist in Chang'an

Chapter 990 Going Home
Li San Niang carefully examined Lu Zhu'er's little face, tenderly stroking the scratches on Lu Zhu'er's face: "Tell your mother, where are you hurt?"

How did you escape?

"Let Mother see quickly!"

Li San Niang pulled Lu Zhu'er towards the side room, eager to check if Lu Zhu'er was unharmed and if she had any other injuries.

Li San Niang's overflowing concern and heartache moved everyone present.

Dewdrop sobbed as she followed Li Sanniang into the room next door.

Sitting on the edge of the low couch, she began to recount her experiences to Li Sanniang in fits and starts: "They... I heard them say they would use me to threaten Mother, to prevent Mother from saving General Du."
While they weren't looking, I secretly untied the rope and ran for a very long time, hiding in the mountains. I used the method my tenth uncle taught me to find my way and kept heading towards Liangzhou.

On the way, I traded my earring for some pancakes. Later, I met Brother Shilin.

Although Lu Zhu'er put it simply, how could Li San Niang not imagine the dangers and difficulties involved?
How much courage and wisdom does it take for a pampered young woman to flee alone in the wilderness for several days?
As she listened, her heart clenched again, filled with lingering fear.
At the same time, a raging fire surged in Li San Niang's heart—a fire of anger towards those villains and the masterminds behind them!

But at this moment, all the anger was temporarily suppressed by the joy of the reunion and the lingering fear.

Li San Niang hugged Lu Zhu'er tightly again: "My Lu Zhu'er has grown up and become brave;
Not only is she her mother's precious child, but also her mother's helper. It's alright now, it's all over.

At this moment, Chen Yong, the military commander of Liangzhou, and Wang Changshi, who had received the news, also rushed over. Seeing the scene before them, they all breathed a sigh of relief. Chen Yong repeatedly said, "It's good that you're back! It's good that you're back!"

Chief Secretary Wang quickly added, "Physician Li, your daughter has returned safely, which is truly a great relief!"
Those thieves will be thoroughly interrogated by my men, and the mastermind behind them will be brought to justice. There will be no leniency!

Li San Niang raised her head, her face still wet with tears, but her eyes had turned cold and sharp again. She nodded slightly to Chief Secretary Wang: "Thank you, Chief Secretary Wang!"

Those thieves, please be sure to find out all clues about their accomplices and those who instigated them!
I, Li Mingfang, will never let this go!

Although Dewdrop has returned, someone must pay the price for this undeserved disaster, these shocks, and these injuries!

However, when Li Sanniang looked down at Luzhu'er, who was leaning against her in her arms, her gaze instantly softened with endless tenderness and heartache: "Luzhu'er is tired and needs to rest. Thank you, everyone!"

She glanced deeply at everyone inside and outside the house who had been searching for the dewdrop, her meaning unspoken.

Then, she carefully, as if holding the most precious porcelain in the world, picked up Dewdrop—even though Dewdrop was already quite big, she only wanted to give her precious baby the strongest sense of security at this moment.

Li San Niang personally bathed and changed Lu Zhu'er's clothes, carefully examined every tiny scratch on her body, and gently applied medicine to her wounds.

Her movements were incredibly gentle, and her eyes were overflowing with love and tenderness.

She personally fed Lu Zhu'er some light porridge, then stayed by Lu Zhu'er's bedside, holding Lu Zhu'er's hand and humming the tune she used to lull Lu Zhu'er to sleep when she was little, until Lu Zhu'er fell into a deep sleep due to extreme exhaustion and complete relaxation.

Even when Luzhu'er was asleep, Li Sanniang couldn't bear to leave.

She sat on the edge of the bed, her gaze lingering greedily on Lu Zhu'er's sleeping face, occasionally tucking Lu Zhu'er in and gently smoothing the furrows of Lu Zhu'er's brows that sometimes appeared in her sleep.

Only when she could feel Lu Zhu'er's steady breathing and warm body temperature could Li San Niang be sure that Lu Zhu'er had really returned to her side!
Inside, the candlelight flickered, creating a warm and peaceful atmosphere.

After experiencing a heart-wrenching separation of life and death, this moment of tranquility and companionship seems all the more precious.

Li San Niang held Lu Zhu'er's hand and pressed it against her cheek, her heart filled with gratitude for the blessings bestowed upon her by heaven.

And a hint of cold ruthlessness, made even more resilient by the storm.

The dewdrop is back, but the turmoil is far from over.

Li San Niang had to make sure that no one, no force, could touch a single hair on her dewdrop!
Only then did Li San Niang truly allow herself to relax.

Just then, Qiu Xiang suddenly burst into the room, her face full of excitement. Li San Niang turned around to look, and in an instant, she realized why Qiu Xiang was like this!

Du Qinghui has woken up!
Du Qinghui's high fever finally subsided. Although he was still weak, he was able to open his eyes and make a faint sound.

This means that he has survived the most dangerous ordeal.

He can live!
Upon hearing this news, everyone in the courtyard breathed a sigh of relief.

The doctors who came from the Liangzhou Imperial Medical Academy in Guzang County were all deeply impressed by Li Sanniang's medical skills.

Two days later, Li Dalang and Li Sanlang arrived safely in Liangzhou, escorted by the town's military forces.

Having gone through this harrowing ordeal, the family reunion feels all the more precious.

Du Qinghui still needed recuperation, but was no longer in serious condition. The imperial decree from Chang'an also arrived that day, with Emperor Wu bestowing extraordinary rewards upon Li Sanniang for her contributions and ordering severe punishment for those involved.

Everything seemed to have settled down.

However, Du Qinghui's body still couldn't withstand the fatigue of a long journey;

Li Sanniang decided to continue treating Du Qinghui's health in Guzang County until he could withstand the hardships of returning to Chang'an, at which point they would leave together.

Three months passed.

Du Qinghui is now able to get out of bed and walk around a bit every day to move around on her own.
Li San Niang was finally able to take Lu Zhu'er and the others on their journey back to Chang'an.

When we arrived, it was still the sweltering heat of September, but on our return journey, it was the biting cold of December.

As the carriage drove out of Liangzhou, Li Sanniang looked back at the small town that had witnessed many life-and-death crises and miracles.

The road ahead may still be filled with wind and snow, but with family reunited and faith unwavering, there is nothing to fear.

Not long after we got on the official road, it started to snow lightly.

Dewdrop stretched out her hand from the car window, palm up, to catch the snowflakes falling from the sky.

Feeling a slight chill in her palm, she smiled and turned to Li San Niang, who was sitting on the other side of the carriage, saying, "Mother, it's snowing!"

Li San Niang nodded and smiled at the dewdrop. Looking through the carriage window, she saw that it was indeed snowing lightly outside.

Chang'an, I, Li Mingfang, am back!
