248 The Intention To Recruit

As soon as Mo Ruyue entered the room, she could smell that the smell of medicine in the room had faded a lot. Perhaps it was because Qing Xi had been away for a long time and did not continuously boil and drink medicine every day, the lingering smell of medicine had also dissipated a lot.

Qing Xi was lying on the bed, looking much healthier. Although she still liked to put on a long face when she saw Mo Ruyue, her eyes would unconsciously follow her.

“Lady Qin is here to report my illness to my father. It just so happens that I can follow and listen.”

Qingxi then said to Madam Du, who was standing behind Mo Ruyue, “Madam Du, prepare a chair for Lady Qin. Let her sit down and talk. I’m sure my illness can’t be explained in a short time.”

Madam Du immediately brought a chair over and placed it behind Mo Ruyue. Duanmu Xize also nodded and said, “Lady Qin, please sit down and talk. You have cured Qing Xi’s illness, and I have yet to formally thank you.”

Mo Ruyue didn’t refuse. If she had to tell Duanmu Xize everything from beginning to end, it would take more than an hour. She wasn’t a servant of the Duanmu family, so she naturally wouldn’t let herself be tired for nothing.

“I’ve already told you about Qing Xi’s condition before I started the treatment. The details of the operation are also in the medical records and treatment process that I’ve prepared. The tumor that was removed this time weighed five kilograms, and it’s been growing in Qing Xi’s body for at least eight years.”

After Mo Ruyue sat down, she immediately began to speak with fervor and assurance. She also passed the things she had prepared to Duanmu Xize for him to look through.

Although the father and daughter were not proficient in medicine, they still knew the basic medical theories, especially Qing Xi. It was said that a long period of illness would make a doctor. She had been bedridden for so long, so she could more or less hear how dangerous her condition was at that time.

If Mo Ruyue had not made the prompt decision to perform the operation, she would have been dead.

It took Mo Ruyue almost two hours to explain everything, including the time she used to give Duanmu Xize medical records and answer his various questions.

Although Qing Xi had personally experienced the operation, she had been under a state of deep anesthesia. Only when she heard Mo Ruyue’s words did she know how dangerous the situation had been.

In fact, when she refused to cooperate with the rehabilitation treatment after the operation, Mo Ruyue had told her some things about the operation, but at that time, she thought that Mo Ruyue was exaggerating to claim credit, so she was in a state of half-belief.

It was only today that she understood the whole story and read all the medical records, prescriptions, and even the tumor samples that she had taken out. Only then did she completely dispel the last bit of doubt.

“So it’s really that dangerous, I thought…”

Qing Xi muttered.

She thought that her voice was soft enough, but Mo Ruyue heard it clearly. She just didn’t show it.

“Lady Qin, it’s all thanks to you this time, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.”

Duanmu Xize did not expect things to be so serious. When he thought about how he had almost lost his daughter and all the support and help she could give him, he felt a wave of fear.

“Lady Qin, I once promised you that if you can successfully cure my daughter, no matter if it’s gold, silver, jewelry, or any other request, as long as it’s within my power, I will do it for you. Now, tell me, what do you need?”

He couldn’t wait to repay this favor because the sooner he repaid it, the easier the matter would be. Otherwise, after a long time, it was hard to guarantee what kind of difficult request Mo Ruyue would make.

Mo Ruyue knew very well what Duanmu Xize was thinking. The magistrate was indeed not a small official. If she made good use of this favor, it might really be of great help to her.

However, she disdained being schemed against to reduce the number of favors people owed her. She had long been used to doing everything herself and knew the truth of having a backer fall. Thus, once she sensed Duanmu Xize’s thoughts, she immediately thought of how to get this “favor”.

“Lord Duanmu, if I were to ask for another batch of ores of various colors, would you be able to give them to me?”

Duanmu Xize was stunned. He didn’t think that Mo Ruyue would actually make such a request.

However, she had already asked for ores the first time, so it was not unusual for her to make the same request this time. Moreover, the amount she needed was not enough to develop a private armed force, so he did not seem to have anything to worry about.

It was just that he still didn’t know the use of the last batch of ores, so it seemed necessary to ask.

“What do you need ores for? As far as I know, the batch of ores I gave you before, no blacksmith has smelted them.”

Mo Ruyue was not surprised by Duanmu Xize’s words at all. Although the people she had used to follow like a giant wolf pack had all lost their targets, as a magistrate, it was really easy for Duanmu Xize to find out if a blacksmith had dealt with that batch of ore.

“I’ve already used those ores to make various tools. Lord Duanmu, I think you should have a deep impression of the tools I used in my surgery. Without those ores, I wouldn’t have been able to make them.”

Mo Ruyue said without hiding anything, but she didn’t tell the whole truth either. The best lie was to be 90% true and 10% false, and the 10% false was that she used all the ores to make surgical tools.

“Without the help of a blacksmith, how did you smelt those ores? Don’t tell me you have another set of smelting tools.”

Duanmu Xize didn’t completely believe Mo Ruyue’s words. This woman had too many secrets. He had never even heard of her technique of drawing blood to create blood plasma. What else did she know and to what extent could she do?

He was more and more interested in Mo Ruyue now, and he wanted to recruit her.

Not to mention anything else, just the fact that she could perform such a major operation would make countless high-ranking officials and noble people rush over like ducks. Perhaps this would be another road to success for him.

The more Duanmu Xize thought about it, the more his heart burned. This was because this path was completely feasible.

Who wasn’t afraid of death? However, with such a godly doctor around, there was a little more hope of survival. Who wouldn’t do their best to live?

The only thing he was lacking now was how to convince this woman to form an alliance with him. Only then would she be able to help him.

“Master Duanmu, I know a lot of things, but I don’t think I need to explain them to you one by one. I also have the smelting tools. If you’re worried about the scale, then there’s no need for that. There’s still a limit to what you should have.”

Mo Ruyue could be considered very arrogant for a commoner to treat an official of such a high level like the magistrate. However, Duanmu Xize’s mind was filled with thoughts on how to win her over.

Geniuses were all proud of their talents, so it was not strange for them to have their own bad tempers. As long as she could be used by him in the end, Duanmu Xize could temporarily tolerate her disrespect.
