Chapter 329: All Doctors are Thick Skinned

Translator: CokeZero      Editor: Rainystars

Two elderly people walked in from outside, they were Grandpa and Grandma Liu from next door. The words spoken earlier were also said by Grandma Liu.

Grandma Liu rushed in and walked straight to grand commander Xu. She shouted loudly, “So, you want to demote my Jiao Jiao to a concubine or a secondary wife? I think the one who should be demoted is you! you’re a small commander yet you strut around lawlessly.”

Although the old lady was thin and small, her imposing manner was very strong, Her demeanor stunned grand commander Xu. He forgot to speak for a while.

Lu Jiao stood up and invited Grandpa and Grandma Liu to sit down, “Why did Grandpa and Grandma Liu come over?

When Lu Jiao asked, Grandma Liu remembered what she had come for. She excitedly grabbed Lu Jiao’s hand and said, “Jiaojiao, I just came to tell you that after Ziyan drank the medicine you prescribed and took a bath, he felt very comfortable afterward. He used to not be able to sleep all night, but now he can sleep for a while. Your medical skills are really extraordinary! How amazing. Calling you a divine doctor is not an exaggeration.”

Lu Jiao was embarrassed by the praise and quickly said, “Grandma Liu, you are too polite.”

“What are you talking about! I am telling the truth. Your medical skills are really amazing. We have consulted many famous doctors in the past, but none of them cured my Ziyan’s illness. Now he feels comfortable after drinking your medicine. He used to wake up cold every time he slept at night, but now he can nap for a while. You really are a miracle doctor.”

Just as Grandma Liu finished, grand commander Xu, who stood aside without reacting, spoke up, I ‘Lady Lu has excellent medical skills?”

Grandma Liu glared at him unkindly and said, “Yes, Jiaojiao has excellent medical skills. She can bring the dead back to life.”

Grand commander Xu looked incredulous, “Is it true?

Grandma Liu said unhappily, “At my age, how am I still capable of deceiving

Grandpa Liu, who stood beside her, also said unhappily, “Why are we telling you these things?”

Grandpa Liu finished speaking and turned his head to look at Grandma Liu, “Didn’t you make Jiaojiao some osmanthus cake?”

Grandma Liu immediately put the porcelain plate with a lid, which she has been holding, next to Lu Jiao and said happily, “Jiaojiao, this is the osmanthus cake that I made. It tastes good. I made it myself and I’m giving it to you.”

Lu Jiao immediately reached out and removed the lid, revealing the hot osmanthus cake. She picked up a small piece and tasted it, and it was really delicious.

Lu Jiao smiled and thanked Grandma Liu, “Thank you, it’s really delicious.” “As long as it’s delicious! I will make other delicious food for Jiaojiao in the future.”

Lu Jiao spoke up, “Wouldn’t that be too much trouble?”

“It’s no trouble at all.”

After saying this, she turned to leave but was worried about the grand commander. She turned around and stared at him, saying, “My Jiaojiao has someone to back her up. Don’t even think about bullying her. If you dare to bully her, we won’t let you go. You, commander, may just have reached the end of your career.”

Grandpa Liu nodded in agreement, and grand commander Xu didn’t dare to say anything for a moment. If these old folks could say such things, it meant they had some background. He didn’t want to offend them recklessly.

Grand commander Xu kept quiet, and Grandpa and Grandma Liu left. Before they left, they said to Lu Jiao, “Jiaojiao, we’re going back. If anyone bullies you, tell us, and we’ll stand up for you.”

The two old folks left quickly. Behind them, Xie Yunjin gazed at Lu Jiao with a deep look in his eyes. Why did everyone call her Jiaojiao? When could he call her Jiaojiao?

Lu Jiao didn’t notice Xie Yunjin’s expression at all. She took another piece of the osmanthus cake and ate it. It was really delicious – not too sweet. She didn’t like overly sweet foods.

The sweetness of this plate of osmanthus cake was just right. If she wasn’t afraid of eating too much and having digestion problems, she could finish the whole plate.

In the main hall, Xie Yunjin looked at the grand commander, displeased.

“Grand commander Xu, if you think that I ordered someone to do something to your daughter, then go find evidence. When you find evidence, come talk to me. You can’t just make baseless accusations.”

Grand commander Xu was no longer thinking about Xu Qingyin. His mind had wandered elsewhere, and he looked absent-minded.

Xie Yunjin stood up and dismissed the guest.

“Grand commander Xu, it’s getting late and you should go back now.”

Grand commander Xu didn’t leave and stammered, ‘Can I ask for something…

can Lady Lu help me with my illness?

After he finished his sentence, he added, “If Lady Lu can help me with my illness, then today’s matter with Scholar Xie and my daughter can be considered even.”

As soon as he finished, Xie Yunjin spoke up, “I’m sorry, I didn’t plot against your daughter today. By saying that, it seems like I really did, are you trying to set me up? I’m sorry, I cannot accept this kind of evenness.”

Xie Yunjin wanted to call Lu Gui in to send the person away.

Grand commander Xu immediately exclaimed, “That’s not what I meant! I just want Lady Lu to examine me. As for my daughter… It has nothing to do with Scholar Xie, yes, it has nothing to do with him.”

Lu Jiao glanced at grand commander Xu and thought that since Xie Yunjin had become the magistrate’s aide, it would be more advantageous for him to befriend grand commander Xu.

Lu Jiao thought for a moment and said to grand commander Xu, “I can examine you, but not because of what you think happened with your daughter. I will examine you because I’m a doctor and it’s my duty to treat people. Since you have asked, I cannot refuse to examine you. Don’t make this about your daughter.”

Grand commander Xu nodded repeatedly, “Okay, I won’t.”

He immediately turned his head and sat next to Lu Jiao. Then, he extended his hand.

Lu Jiao checked out his pulse and asked him about his daily habits. Then finally, she asked him some more private questions, such as whether he felt pain in his scrotum… Whether the pain increased when walking or standing for a long time… And whether the symptoms improved when lying down.

When Lu Jiao asked the last question, she found herself having difficulty speaking. Although she was a doctor, in this era, it still felt uncomfortable to ask such private questions, especially with Xie Yunjin sitting next to her.

Lu Jiao looked at grand commander Xu and finally calmly said, “Have your testicles increased in size? Can you feel a lump-like varix?”

Grand commander Xu didn’t react for a moment. Xie Yunjin, from beside him, suddenly turned his head to look at Lu Jiao.

Lu Jiao remained calm and composed, which impressed Xie Yunjin greatly. He felt embarrassed just listening to the private question, but Lu Jiao didn’t seem to feel anything. She was truly a doctor with excellent psychological qualities.

Grand commander Xu immediately asked, “What?”
