Chapter 67 Treating Xiao Saburo's Legs
Xiao Sanlang walked in and frowned when he heard the cousin's voice.
Su Yue pulled up a chair and sat down, "What's going on? Does Anqing Hall belong to the Jiang family?"
Shopkeeper Li nodded.
"I stayed in Anqing Hall in the capital for three years, and then returned to my hometown to serve my parents. I had heard earlier that a young lady from the Jiang family married an uncle who was demoted and returned to his hometown."
Shopkeeper Li looked excited when he said this, "I just didn't expect that he would be Mrs. Su's father. What a coincidence."
He was worried about not being able to have a relationship with Mrs. Su.
Su Yue touched her chin.
That's ridiculous.
Her mother, Mrs. Jiang, was a concubine of the Changping Prefecture in the capital. She was also a transparent kind of concubine, ranking eighth.
Chang Pingbo was a romantic man by nature, and the number of concubines in his house was not twenty, but probably fifteen.
People like Jiang whose husband was demoted back to his hometown have probably been completely forgotten by the Jiang family.
In the memory of the original person, even in the capital, Jiang rarely returned to the Changping Mansion.
Su Yue narrowed her eyes slightly and looked at Shopkeeper Li, "Are you investigating me?"
Shopkeeper Li waved his hand quickly, "No, no."
He quickly told what happened.
It turned out that early this morning, Li Hai and Su Li went to the street to buy groceries, and when they passed by Anqing Hall, they went in for a walk.
Doctor Zhang heard that he was Mrs. Su's younger brother, and he enthusiastically took Su Li for a chat.
As soon as we chatted, we talked about the situation at Su Li's home.
Shopkeeper Li was just listening for fun, but when he heard Su Li mention that Su's father had served in the Ministry of Household Affairs, he was later demoted back to his hometown.
Shopkeeper Li was stunned at that time.
"I only confirmed it after asking Master Su Libiao. I didn't dare to investigate the lady privately."
Su Yue touched her chin and said calmly: "So, what do you want to do?"
Shopkeeper Li rubbed his hands, feeling inexplicably nervous.
Obviously Mrs. Su is not very young, but perhaps the first meeting gave him a too shocking feeling, so he felt nervous every time he talked to Mrs. Su.
"Cousin, you see we are real relatives, can you..."
"No!" Su Yue interrupted him, "No discussion during the consultation."
Shopkeeper Li was slumped. Before he even opened his mouth, his cousin guessed his purpose.
Although Anqingtang is the only medical clinic in town, Dr. Zhang's medical skills are limited and he is helpless against many diseases.
The last time he went to Fucheng, he heard from the general manager of Fucheng that the owner wanted to resell the medical clinic that made little money.
Shopkeeper Li was worried about losing his job and was always looking for a way to break through.
He heard Doctor Zhang talk about Su Yue's medical skills shown last night early this morning, and he was immediately attracted.
That's a life-saving technique that only the miraculous doctor Chonghua can master.
"but....."
Shopkeeper Li’s eyes shone brightly, is there still hope?
Su Yue knocked on the table, "I have two conditions. If you agree, you can come to me if you encounter incurable diseases in the future."
Shopkeeper Li was overjoyed and said, "Okay, okay, whatever the conditions are, my cousin, just tell me."
It would be nice if he could negotiate terms. This relationship with his cousin was something he had to do shamelessly. In the Changping Mansion in the capital, people like Su Yue probably didn't even know about him.
.......
Xiao Sanlang had been sitting nearby and listening. After shopkeeper Li left, he raised his eyebrows and looked at Su Yue:
"Aren't you afraid that they will regret it later if you agree so simply?"
Su Yue chuckled, "Shopkeeper Li is afraid of me, he doesn't dare."
Xiao Sanlang thought of Shopkeeper Li's appearance just now and curled his lips.
"Su Yue!"
Su Yue turned around and looked over.
Xiao Sanlang hesitated for a moment, "My leg...can you really heal it?"
Su Yue's eyes lit up, "Have you figured it out?"
It was much shorter than she expected, which was surprising.
Xiao Sanlang took a deep breath and looked at her intently, "Didn't you say that life should always be lived forward?"
"Su Yue, I'm not a stubborn person who doesn't know how to adapt."
He leaned forward, his eyes were piercing, and his eyes were no longer as cold and gloomy as when they first met, and his voice was as low as a whisper:
"I haven't thought about what kind of life I want to live in the future, but I want to see what the future will look like when we move forward together."
Su Yue looked at him across the table and curled her lips, "I'm looking forward to it too."
Brother Yu poked his head in from outside, blinking his big dark eyes and looking aggrieved.
"Dad, what is your future? What about me?"
Su Yue sat up straight, "Your future depends on your wife, and we don't need our involvement."
Brother Yu ran in, trying to save Su Yue's legs like a clever little boy.
"Then I won't take a wife in the future. I will follow my father and mother and be filial to you all my life."
Su Yue narrowed her eyes and smiled, and knocked on his head, "Well, I hope you will keep your word in the future."
Xiao Sanlang watched her teasing Brother Yu with a smile.
Xiao Wulang came in slowly, and taking advantage of the good atmosphere, he quickly asked: "Brother, can I stop studying?"
Xiao Sanlang frowned, "No."
"My mother said before she died that she hoped you would study hard and become an official in the imperial examination in the future."
Xiao Wulang glanced at Su Yue and plucked up his courage, "I don't like studying. I want to learn martial arts from my sister-in-law."
Xiao Sanlang looked at Su Yue.
Su Yue shrugged, "I didn't agree to accept him as my disciple."
Xiao Sanlang's expression softened slightly, and he turned to Xiao Wulang and said coldly: "Hurry up and pack up, I will take you back to town."
Xiao Wulang had been afraid of his brother since he was a child, so he went out dejectedly.
In the afternoon, Xiao Sanlang came back from town.
Su Yue came in with a jar of wine, "Brother Yu was taken out by Sister Feng. Didn't he want to treat his leg? Let's get started."
Xiao Sanlang was slightly startled: "Why do you still use wine?"
Su Yue put the wine on the table, "This is for you to drink. I'm afraid you'll be in so much pain that you won't be able to hold on."
"Your leg is lame because of improper bone reshaping. I need to break your leg bone and rejoin it, so it will be very painful. Drinking some wine can reduce the pain."
The pain of breaking a bone and rejoining it is not something that ordinary people can bear.
Xiao Sanlang's eyes flashed slightly, "It's useless, I..."
Su Yue poured a bowl of wine and handed it over, "Drink, no need to show off."
She added two drops of orchid juice to the wine in advance, hoping that drinking it would relieve the pain.
Xiao Sanlang looked at the bowl handed to him, hesitated for a moment, took it and drank it.
Su Yue poured him three large bowls of wine in succession, and she didn't stop until Xiao Sanlang's face turned red.
"Please bear with me, I'm going to start." She opened Xiao Sanlang's trousers and gently touched his right knee to check the condition of the leg bones.
Xiao Sanlang felt her soft fingertips gently caressing and kneading his knees, and his Adam's apple rolled slightly.
He slowly closed his eyes.
After a moment, he opened his eyes doubtfully, "Why haven't you started yet?"
Su Yue held the stick with a tangled look on her face, "I can't lay my hands on your face."
All of Xiao Sanlang's facial features are based on his own aesthetic point.
Su Yue said that she felt a little stressed after hitting the beautiful man she admired with a heavy stick and breaking her leg.
Xiao Sanlang: "..."
Su Yue drank a large bowl of wine, picked up the stick, and gritted his teeth: "Come on."
Another moment passed.
