Chapter 296: We will Protect her

Translator: CokeZero????? Editor: Rainystars

Feng Zhi narrowed her eyes at Lu Jiao. That woman obviously wanted to be Xie Yunjin’s concubine. The master rejected her and that was why she was emotionally unstable enough to marry others.

Feng Zhi didnt say anything out loud.

Just then, uncle Lin’s horse carriage arrived. Lu Jiao and Feng Zhi got on to go to Baohe Tang. There, they’ll ask Zhao Lingfeng to take them to the construction site.

By the horse carriage, however, someone approached Lu Jiao and called out,

“Lu Jiao.”

Lu Jiao turned around and found Xie Yunjin and Lin Dong walking over.

Lu Jiao nodded and asked, “Something is up?

Xie Yunjin shook his head and asked caringly, “Where are you going?

Lu Jiao answered, “We’re going to Baohe Tang to ask Zhao Lingfeng to show us around the construction site for my three businesses.”

Xie Yunjin raised an eyebrow. Honestly, despite knowing Lu Jiao and Zhao Lingfeng were business partners, he still felt like Zhao Lingfeng eyed Lu Jiao with other intentions. Therefore, subconsciously, he was always worried.

Xie Yunjin thought about it, “Let me come with you.”

Lu Jiao was surprised, “You aren’t going to teach today?”

“I will teach in the afternoon after we get back. Am I unwelcomed? I just want to check out the sites with you and perhaps come up with some good ideas.” Lu Jiao thought that could be helpful.

Xie Yunjin may be a scholar, but he traveled frequently and has learned a variety of different things. Perhaps he truly did have some good ideas to offer.

“Okay, get in then,” Lu Jiao responded with a grin. Xie Yunjin got into the carriage instantly.

Inside the carriage, Xie Yunjin said to Feng Zhi, “I’ll take care of the lady today.

You can stay here and take care of the four little ones.”

Feng Zhi happily agreed. Though the lady didn’t seem to like the master much, she still thought the lady should stay by his side. If the master treated the lady poorly, then Feng Zhi would understand the ladys coldness. However, the master was so nice that she didn’t understand why Lu Jiao wouldn’t accept him.

Lu Jiao noticed how fast Feng Zhi left and vented to Xie Yunjin, “Why is she more obedient to your orders?”

Xie Yunjin smiled, “She must think she’s interfering if she stayed and that’s why she went back quickly.”

Lu Jiao thought that made sense.

Lin Dong sat by his father and the carriage headed to Baohe Tang.

Once there, Lu Jiao remembered General Wang and got an idea. She thought it would be good to bring Xie Yunjin to the general and help them form a relationship.

“Let’s go. I want you to meet the person I performed arm reattachment surgery on.”

Xie Yunjin knew right away that the patient must have some sort of background for Lu Jiao to suggest this. She must want Xie Yunjin to expand his network Touched, Xie Yunjin answered gently, “Okay.”

The two of them went to where General Wang rested. Zhao Lingfeng, Qi Lei, and MO Bei were there.

General Wang was resting on his bed but appeared to have lots of energy. He was ecstatic to see Lu Jiao, “Master Lu, you’re here.”

Lu Jiao examined General Wang with a smile and then said confidently, “You’ve recovered well. If you keep this up, your arms will heal up nicely soon. In a couple of months, you can start doing rehabilitation exercises.”

General Wang asked impatiently, “What is that?”

“Theyre exercises. You can practice picking up things and carrying them around. You start off light and then work your way up to heavier objects.

Slowly, you’ll recover.”

“Great. Great. That is so great. Thank you so much. Without you, I would’ve lost an arm. I am forever indebted to you and I will repay you.”

General Wang learned from Qi Lei how great of a doctor this Master Lu was. He was a general and it was likely he would get wounded and sick again. He had to ensure he had a good relationship with this doctor in case he needed more help later.

The more general Wang thought about it, the more enthusiastic he seemed.

Of course, he also noticed Xie Yunjin.

Xie Yunjin was one good-looking guy and was hard to ignore.

General Wang asked, “Who is that?”

To help Xie Yunjin, Lu Jiao decided she didn’t mind revealing her identity as a woman. She smiled and said, “He is my husband, Xie Yunjin. He’s a student here and he’s going to write the provincial exam next year.”

Lu Jiao’s words stunned General Wang.

Husband?

He stared at Lu Jiao and then studied Xie Yunjin before he reacted like he had been struck by lightning.

MO Bei knew General Wang was overthinking it and laughed out loud.

Zhao Lingfeng glared at him and explained, “Master Lu is actually a woman. To avoid questions and to fight off trouble, she’s been dressing like a man while working here. Scholar Xie is her husband.”

General Wang finally calmed down a little. He pored over Lu Jiao’s face and finally saw the softness between her eyes.

She really was a woman.

Because of how worried he was about his own health, he didn’t observe that carefully before.

General Wang finally understood the situation and some calm returned to him.

He smiled at Lu Jiao, “You scared me there.”

He then greeted Xie Yunjin, “Hello there, Scholar Xie. Your wife saved my life. You better treat her well. If I find out you’ve mistreated her, I may never forgive you.

Lu Jiao was speechless. She wanted to introduce them so Xie Yunjin could network. She wasn’t looking for a protector.

General Wang didn’t care about what she wanted and continued to warn Xie Yunjin, “Don’t think there’s nobody out here who could protect her! I’m not the only one who would take her side. The Qi family would help her as well.” Zhao Lingfeng and MO Bei took the opportunity to cause chaos, “Me as well.”

“And me!”

Xie Yunjin t s eyes weren’t kind as he glanced across the room.

Worried he might actually be angry, Lu Jiao said, “Uncle Wang, my husband is very nice to me. All of you, stop worrying. He wouldn’t mistreat me.”

They have a divorce letter between them. If he did anything out of line, she would tell him to get out.

General Wang joked, “You seem to treasure your husband a lot. I kid around for one minute and you’re already taking his side. Okay, okay, I’ll stop talking.”

General Wang then studied Lu Jiao a little more in awe, “How could a woman have such amazing medical skills?”

To be able to reattach an arm that was basically chopped off was something even military doctors could not pull off easily.

Those kinds of surgeries were terrifying. Whoever’s in the room for the operation would have nightmares forever. Even after the surgery is finished, the arm would be horrible to look at. There would be areas that rotted and an insane amount of swelling. More importantly, for most people, having surgery didn’t mean their lives were spared. Lots of people died from something called “infection” after.

General Wang felt so lucky to have met someone like Lu Jiao..
