Raising a wife? The mistress of the Hou family divorced and remarried her younger uncle

Chapter 113 Treatment
Doctor Fang said it could be cured. He was good at acupuncture and orthopedics. Su Qingwan's headache was not a problem for him. It would only take several months to cure it with acupuncture and blood drawing, combined with medication.

Su Qingwan listened absent-mindedly and her eyes involuntarily glanced at Lu Jing.

After Imperial Doctor Fang explained the treatment method, he left a prescription for Su Qingwan to take every other day. Lu Zhu thanked him profusely and gave him a gold ingot when he sent him away, which looked like a face-to-face bribe. Imperial Doctor Fang happily accepted the gold, not caring whether Lu Jing would have any doubts.

Su Qingwan asked, "Can I leave now?"

Lu Jing said calmly, "Finish this cup of tea."

Su Qingwan was not nervous. She did not like dealing with Lu Jing, but that did not mean she was afraid of him. It was normal for Lu Jing to doubt her identity. If it were her, she would also be suspicious and her methods would be more cruel. Lu Jing was just testing her. When he suspected her identity, he directly arrested her and took her to the Jinyiwei prison to intimidate her. Now he just asked the imperial physician to confirm it, and his methods were much gentler.

The situation in the capital is ever-changing and there are many talented people, so she needs to be more cautious.

Doctor Fang did not reveal her identity. Perhaps it was because they had a similar appearance to each other, or perhaps it was a trap set up by Lu Jing on purpose. She could not get involved and could not be led by Lu Jing. She kept her troops on the sidelines because she did not believe that Lu Jing could really find any fault.

"My sister-in-law has been practicing martial arts since she was young. She hid it from my brother and my parents. She is really amazing. Is it tiring to live with a mask on for so many years?" Lu Jing asked.

Su Qingwan raised her eyebrows and said calmly, "Life is like a play, who doesn't get tired? You were the deputy commander of the Jinyiwei before you were 20 years old. Compared to you, my hard work is nothing."

Lu Jing pursed his lips and chuckled, "The deputy commander of the Jinyiwei... my sister-in-law seems to hate the Jinyiwei very much."

"how you said that?"

"Every time he mentioned Jinyiwei, he always looked like he was gritting his teeth."

"I was obviously calm and collected, you were mistaken." Su Qingwan said calmly, "Sanlang, your sister-in-law also wants to give you a piece of advice. Relax at home and don't bring home the look of a criminal being interrogated in the government office. It's very disgusting."

Lu Jing raised his eyebrows, "If my sister-in-law had been honest with me earlier, I wouldn't have seen this disgusting face."

"Everything I said was true. I never lied. But Sanlang is suspicious. He always thinks that my sister-in-law has deceived you. My sister-in-law is also wronged." Su Qingwan stood up and smiled faintly. "It's getting late. You are still injured. Take good care of your injuries and don't worry too much."

Su Qingwan didn't care about the burning gaze behind her at all. After returning to Meilan Garden, she asked Luzhu to take a top-quality ginseng and some good-looking Ganoderma lucidum to Lu Jing to help him recover from his injuries.

Although Lu Zhu didn't quite understand why she had to give Lu Jing a gift, she gave it to him obediently.

Lu Jing was fanning himself in a recliner, feeling quite relaxed as if he was enjoying the cool breeze and appreciating the moon.

"Since sister-in-law is so kind, just accept it."

Three days later, Doctor Fang came to the Lu family as promised and gave Su Qingwan an acupuncture to draw blood. Su Qingwan's illness was a chronic disease and it was difficult to cure it after seeking help from many famous doctors. She could only relieve the pain by taking medicine every few months to suppress it.

Doctor Fang inserted dozens of needles into her head, turning her into a human stick and making her unable to move.

Doctor Fang came in the afternoon and gave acupuncture in the courtyard. The sun was scorching hot in the sky, and Su Qingwan was sweating all over, as if she was working in the fields. She was sweating profusely, and her loose hair was full of sweat.

Luzhu wanted to fan the girl, but was stopped by the doctor, who said that it was not appropriate to fan during acupuncture. It was hot and dry in the summer, and there was no wind in the afternoon, which was a good time to draw blood. Luzhu thought he was talking nonsense and complained in her heart. It would be best if he could cure the girl. If he couldn't cure her and the girl got a fever, she would definitely go and overturn the doctor's house.

Although Su Qingwan was unable to move due to the stabbing, she was able to speak. She intentionally or unintentionally tested the imperial physician to see if he knew her condition and whether it was an old illness. The imperial physician said that it was blood accumulation in the brain. Whether it was one day, a hundred days, or a thousand days, there was no difference.

Doctor Fang vowed that he could cure Su Qingwan's headache.

When she was in Loulan, she also met a traveling doctor who analyzed her headache in great detail and prescribed miraculous medicine. She tried it reluctantly, but it made her condition worse. The man took her money and ran away, leaving her in a coma for three days.

She had fallen into many traps and had no hope. She just hoped that Doctor Fang could relieve her pain.

Doctor Fang also told her that some ladies in the palace often suffered from headaches. He had instant cures and was experienced in treating headaches, so he told Su Qingwan not to be too nervous.

She was not nervous. She was very grateful to Doctor Fang for helping her through a difficult time by accident.

Doctor Fang prescribed another medicine, and Lu Zhu sent someone to boil it. He stared at the silver needle on Su Qingwan's head with full concentration. Perhaps he felt bored, so he started chatting with Su Qingwan again.

Doctor Fang liked to talk about food the most, and asked her what delicious food and fun things there were in Jiangnan.

Su Qingwan answered one by one, as if she were a native of Jiangnan. She was afraid of revealing her flaws, and was also afraid that Doctor Fang was sent by Lu Jing to test her. After several waves of tests, she got nothing.

Lu Zhu asked curiously about the affairs in the palace. Doctor Fang was tight-lipped and didn't talk much about the nobles in the palace. He simply said that the emperor was not in good health and most of the princesses and princes died young. This was known to everyone.

The imperial physician who had served three dynasties and was able to retire peacefully, not only had superb medical skills, but was also very tight-lipped and able to keep secrets. He would never disclose the affairs of the nobles in the palace.

Lu Zhu tried to get some information but couldn't get any, so he just kept quiet.

Su Qingwan thought to herself that the old people in the palace were indeed cunning and it was very difficult to get information out of them. Some of her people were lurking in the deep palace and had rarely sent out information recently.

After several treatments, both sides got along very well. Doctor Fang was eloquent and loved to eat. Every time he came to give Su Qingwan acupuncture and blood drawing, Lu Zhu would prepare many delicious foods for him.

The imperial physician liked the treats very much and would occasionally bring snacks back for his great-grandson. Every time he left, he would take a box of gold with him, because after his acupuncture, Su Qingwan would always have a good sleep and her headache would indeed be relieved.

Every time Doctor Fang came, Li An would squat on the wall, cracking melon seeds and listening to their conversation. He would tell Lu Jing if he heard anything interesting. Lu Zhu thought that Li An was eavesdropping on her on purpose and never gave him a good look. Li An felt wronged.

Lin knew that Doctor Fang came to see Su Qingwan every few days, and she felt very uncomfortable, "Sanlang is too concerned about Zhaolan."

Doctor Fang was a person whom Prime Minister Lu treated with great respect whenever he met him. Although he was not the most outstanding person in the Imperial Medical Bureau, he was definitely the one with the longest seniority in the hospital.

When an ordinary official falls ill, how can he be qualified to hire an imperial physician?

Sanlang specially invited an imperial physician to treat Su Qingwan every three days.

Lin recalled what Lu Feng had said in the ancestral hall, saying that Lu Jing coveted his eldest sister-in-law. She felt a chill down her spine. If Sanlang had not stopped her, she would have driven Xie Zhaolan out of the Lu family. Why did Sanlang stop her?
Is he really coveting the eldest sister-in-law?
