Zhao Lingfeng glanced at Lu Jiao, then smiled, “Scholar Xie, you’re being too kind.”

The two then casually chatted.

Outside Baohe Tang, a horse carriage rushed its way over. Behind it, several riders on horses followed.

!!

The moment the carriage stopped, those on the horses hopped off and entered Baohe Tang.

“Zhao Lingfeng.”

The man referred to Zhao Lingfeng by his name directly. Zhao Lingfeng snapped his head around and found Mo Bei there.

Zhao Lingfeng was shocked. Didn’t Mo Bei go with the fifth young master to handle some business? Why was he back here?

Zhao Lingfeng hurriedly walked over, “What are you doing here?”

Mo Bei hastily spoke, “I’ll tell you more later. Please get that Lady Lu over here. General Wang needs surgery.”

Naturally, Zhao Lingfeng knew who General Wang was. Based on what Mo Bei was saying, it was obvious that this general was wounded.

Zhao Lingfeng said, “Lady Lu is here today. Order your people to move the general out of the carriage.”

“Okay.”

Mo Bei headed outside. He then remembered Lu Jiao’s personality and wanted to make it clear that he will comply with however much that woman might ask in exchange for treatment. No matter what, they must cure general Wang’s arm.

However, Zhao Lingfeng had already walked away, and Mo Bei didn’t dare to waste any more time. General Wang’s arm had been chopped off by someone. Only certain parts of the skin were attached. Due to blood loss, he was now unconscious, and it was very uncertain whether or not he could survive this.

General Wang was someone the young master put in a lot of effort to win over. If he dies now, all of the young master’s effort would go down the drain.

If they were able to take care of the general’s arm today, then the general will continue to answer to the young master.

Mo Bei asked his people to remove the general from the carriage carefully. Meanwhile, inside Baohe Tang, Zhao Lingfeng was already speaking to Lu Jiao, “Mo Bei brought over a critical patient who needs you.”

Zhao Lingfeng then suddenly recalled that Lu Jiao didn’t want Xie Yunjin to know about her surgical skills. He looked towards Xie Yunjin.

Xie Yunjin smiled back, “Does the patient need surgery? If anything were to go wrong, would Lu Jiao be responsible?”

Zhao Lingfeng subconsciously looked toward Lu Jiao.

Scholar Xie knew about Lu Jiao’s surgical skills.

Lu Jiao ignored Zhao Lingfeng’s gaze and stood up as Mo Bei’s subordinates brought in the unconscious general Wang.

Lu Jiao stood up to greet them. Behind her, Xie Yunjin warned, “Lu Jiao, don’t overwork yourself.”

Lu Jiao thought of his legs then caringly cautioned, “Your legs aren’t well. You should go home and rest.”

She then gestured for Mo Bei’s subordinates to take the general into one of the rooms.

Xie Yunjin lowered his gaze to study his legs. He felt like something just clicked inside his brain. He recalled so many different things, such as how nice Lu Jiao was to Lady Tian, to the four little ones, and to Lu Gui.

All those people Lu Jiao had accepted. They were people who were nice to Lu Jiao. Because they were nice to her, she repaid their kindness with double their amount.

Xie Yunjin’s eyes brightened and his heart thumped loudly.

He was able to see through Lu Jiao now. She wasn’t someone who took bullsh*t. The more you try to fool her or scheme her, the less likely she’ll acknowledge you. If you manage to make her mad, she’ll even teach you a lesson. On the contrary, if you are nice to her, she won’t be able to reject you. Therefore, there was a very valid reason why she didn’t like him.

Xie Yunjin thought about the situation from her point of view. Based on the things he’s said to her and done, it was no wonder she didn’t accept him.

Xie Yunjin smiled and formed two fists. He was going to test out whether or not he was correct with his analysis.

Lu Jiao wasn’t aware of all the internal dialogues Xie Yunjin was having. She was now inspecting the patient.

Due to the large volume of blood loss, the patient’s temperature had dropped, and his pulse was weak. His breathing was as infrequent at 16 times per minute and his systolic blood pressure was dangerously low.

The patient was in critical condition.

Lu Jiao said to Mo Bei and Zhao Lingfeng in a low voice, “You two get out. Qi Lei stays.”

Mo Bei asked anxiously, “Is he going to be okay?”

Lu Jiao glared at him coldly, “The patient is not doing well. I can only do my best. Get out.”

Zhao Lingfeng dragged Mo Bei out. Once the room cleared, Lu Jiao ordered Qi Lei, “Go fetch me some water.”

She needed a second to herself.

Qi Lei went to get water. As soon as he turned away, Lu Jiao dripped a few drops of spiritual stream water into the patient’s mouth. The patient’s breathing appeared to have strengthened almost immediately.

Lu Jiao sighed in relief. Qi Lei came back with the water. Lu Jiao took a look at the patient and said, “It looks like he won’t be able to drink it anyway. Shove some ginger into his mouth.”

She then took out two slices of ginger and gave them to Qi Lei.

Qi Lei took them and placed them into the patient’s mouth.

Lu Jiao then announced, “We will start surgery immediately.”

Qi Lei glanced at the arm that was barely attached by the skin and asked worriedly, “Even if we do attach his arm, will he still be able to use it?”

If not, then general Wang may prefer death over living. A warrior with no arm meant he no longer had a purpose. General Wang was also aiming to rise up in the ranks.

Lu Jiao glared at Qi Lei. Now was not the time to think so much.

“Let’s save his life first.”

Arm replantation surgery was a procedure that rarely allows arms to restore all of their original functionalities. Luckily, Lu Jiao was here. Lu Jiao had spiritual stream water, which could repair nerve damage. When she operated on Xie Yunjin’s legs, for example, she used her stream water, which might be why he experienced no side effects.

No other surgeon could restore his arm like Lu Jiao could.

However, Lu Jiao didn’t want to make any promises. Doctors should never make promises.

The surgery started then.

Outside, Mo Bei whispered to Zhao Lingfeng, “The woman didn’t ask us for piles of gold before doing this? How rare!”

...

Zhao Lingfeng disagreed with Mo Bei, “Lady Lu is very nice. You shouldn’t hold such prejudice against her.”

Mo Bei snickered, “Prejudice? Please! Last time, she asked for 5,000 taels of silver to pull out an arrow for the young master. Isn’t that pure greed? Women are born thirsty for money and are full of pride.”

Zhao Lingfeng’s head hurt, “She’s not that kind of person. She’s great. You just don’t know her. Once you get to know her, you’ll see what I mean.”
