Chapter 266: Chapter 246: Cure Diseases and Even Deliver Babies!_3
After speaking, he sat down at the stone table: "I’ll join you for a drink!"
Lu Chongyang looked at her frail little figure in confusion: "You?"
Fu Zhen smiled and accepted the bowl handed over by the guard, filling it herself.
Just as she was about to drink, Lu Chongyang reached out to stop her: "You can’t drink alcohol!"
Fu Zhen said: "How do you know?"
Lu Chongyang snorted and began stroking his beard: "Your spleen is weak and your stomach is cold, how can you withstand the stimulation of strong liquor? You’ve been ill for many years before, haven’t you?"
Fu Zhen said: "Why do you ask this? You can’t save me anyway."
Lu Chongyang snorted even louder: "What does that matter? With this old man taking care of you for half a year, you’ll be as lively as a dragon!"
Liang Xuan said: "Can you guarantee a pregnancy then?"
Fu Zhen slapped his head.
Lu Chongyang said: "Not only a pregnancy, you could raise seven or eight children without a problem!"
"Wow!"
Liang Xuan looked on in admiration.
Fu Zhen said: "What’s the use? In half a month, you insist on leaving the capital city, I think you’re just bragging. There is absolutely no one who can completely cure my body."
"Don’t provoke me!" Lu Chongyang slapped the table, "What’s half a year? If I haven’t helped you conceive a little general within a year, I swear I’ll never practice medicine again in my life!"
Fu Zhen laughed: "Since you’ve decided to stay, I formally employ you. From now on, you’ll be the doctor of my General Mansion, how about it?"
"No problem at all!"
"Alright then," Fu Zhen composed herself, "Tonight, you come with me to save someone. If you succeed, I’ll give you a jar of Wu Family Castle’s strong liquor every day."
Lu Chongyang paused: "Who is it?"
"Someone injured by a sleeve crossbow."
...
When they left the courtyard, Liang Xuan was bouncing around Fu Zhen: "Aunt, you’re amazing, you got that old man to stay with just a few words! No wonder Uncle is captivated by you, I think only you can handle him!"
Fu Zhen glanced at him: "What’s your intention with all this flattering?"
Liang Xuan followed her into the carriage: "Aunt, can I stay at your place tonight?"
"Why do you want to stay at our place?"
"Because I like Aunt."
The little guy’s cheeks were red, and who knows what was on his mind, but it reminded Fu Zhen of him as a child, when he clung to Liang Ning all day and needed her to coax him to sleep at night.
Even now, Fu Zhen clearly remembers him back then, calling out to his grandaunt in his baby voice all day long, just like now, running around with his little chubby legs, diving into her arms.
Fu Zhen said: "Sure, you can stay."
"Great!"
Liang Xuan clapped his hands and jumped.
Fu Zhen admonished: "But I have things to do tonight, you have to stay inside and be good."
"I’ll definitely be good!"
Fu Zhen rubbed his head and stopped talking.
Zhe Yu had woken up, but his wound was not doing well.
If the wound doesn’t heal, it can easily lead to a systemic infection, and saying his survival is uncertain is not an exaggeration.
Pei Zhan hadn’t returned by nightfall, but he mentioned before leaving in the morning that he would come find them, so Fu Zhen decided to wait for him.
She did some homework with Liang Xuan under the lamp and sent him to bed at the first quarter of the hour.
While gazing at his sleeping face in the light, Guo Song came knocking: "Young Madam! Something’s happened at the Zhe family!"
Fu Zhen’s heart skipped a beat, and she immediately opened the door: "What happened?"
"Someone just attempted to assassinate Zhe Yu!"
"Where is the assassin?!"
"One of the assassins ran away, but the Young Madam had previously ordered our men to lie in ambush there, so they failed to kill him! And one assassin was captured and injured!"
"News just came from over there; to prevent interference from Princess Rong’s side, the brothers have already controlled the Xu family, waiting for the Young Madam to arrive!"
Fu Zhen quickly stepped over the threshold: "The brothers are truly capable! The assassin must have been ordered by Xu Yin, quickly get Lu Chongyang and head to the Zhe family immediately!"
"Exactly!" Guo Song accompanied her as they walked out, confirming her suspicions, "The injured assassin had on his waist the same sleeve crossbow we all saw that day!"
Fu Zhen pressed her lips together, and as soon as she got into the carriage, she pulled out her night clothes and put them on.
The person who most wants Zhe Yu dead right now is the real culprit behind his earlier attempted murder. Since the culprit is Xu Yin, who else would act but him?
Apart from this real culprit, no one else would care about Zhe Yu, who’s already hovering at death’s door!
This wicked villain!
