Liu Laidi was a person that Lu Jiao had quite a good impression of. Even though she was introverted, she was not a bad person.
After Zhu Baozhu heard Lu Jiao’s words, Zhu Baozhu sighed and said, “I called her, but she didn’t come. She said she had to cook and take care of her husband. She doesn’t even have children, just a husband. Is it necessary?
On one side, Tan Xiaoya looked at Zhu Baozhu, then at Lu Jiao, and whispered, “Actually, she is very pitiful.”
Upon hearing this, Zhu Baozhu immediately turned to Tan Xiaoya and said,
“What do you mean? Do you know something we don’t? Tell us.”
Tan Xiaoya looked at Zhu Baozhu, bit her lip, and whispered, ‘You must not tell anyone.”
Zhu Baozhu nodded repeatedly and said, “I won’t. Tell me quickly.”
Lu Jiao looked at Zhu Baozhu speechlessly. This woman sure dared to make empty promises. Why did she seem so unreliable?
But Tan Xiaoya clearly believed her. She looked at Zhu Baozhu and whispered, “Do you know why she always dresses so modestly? It’s because she has scars all over her body and a lot of them.”
When Tan Xiaoya said this, Zhu Baozhu and Lu Jiao were shocked. They looked at her one after the other and asked, “Is it true?
Although they asked this question, both of them were starting to believe it. Otherwise, why would Lady Liu dress so modestly? Lu Jiao even recalled when she had a quarrel with Liang Ziwen last time, and Lady Liu asked her why she had such strength. At that time, she was clearly so excited that she almost wished that strength was hers.
Lu Jiao’s face looked ugly, and she asked Tan Xiaoya, “Did her husband hit her and cause those scars?
Tan Xiao Ya nodded and said, “Yes. When I asked her, she dodged the question and said she fell. But when I suggested it was her husband who hit her, she didn’t object.”
When she heard Tan Xiaoya’s words, Zhu Baozhu couldn’t help but curse, “That bastard Luo Xinwu. He actually beat his own wife like this. Is he still a human being? I want to go and ask him if he has no conscience and can be so ruthless to his own wife.”
After Zhu Baozhu finished, she stood up and wanted to go find Luo Xinwu.
Tan Xiaoya quickly grabbed her and said, “Don’t go find Luo Xinwu. If you do, he will definitely beat Lady Liu again. You know, Luo Xinwu is very proud. Lady Liu has been in the district for three years, has she ever mentioned anything related to Luo Xinwu? She knows that if she dares to say anything, Luo Xinwu will definitely beat her to death.”
Zhu Baozhu was speechless for a while, but she was still very angry.
In the main hall, Lu Jiao looked at Zhu Baozhu and said, “Don’t be anxious. We need to plan this carefully and find a way to help her without letting Luo
Xinwu beat her again.”
Lu Jiao thought that it was really difficult to punish domestically violent men in this era. Even if everyone knew that you beat your wife, at most they would try to persuade you, and they wouldn’t do anything to punish you. As a result, men became even more fearless and would beat people to death. Therefore, the best way to end the abuse was to let Lady Liu and Luo Xinwu divorce. But would Luo Xinwu be willing to do so?
After she heard what Lu Jiao said, Zhu Baozhu immediately asked, “Sister Lu, do you have any good ideas?”
Lu Jiao shook her head, “I will come up with a solution. Don’t worry, there is no quick fix for this.”
Just as Lu Jiao finished speaking, Lu Gui walked in and reported, “Sister, grand commander Xu and his wife are here.”
Zhu Baozhu and Tan Xiaoya knew that the grand commander and his wife must have come to ask Lu Jiao for medical help. Everyone in the Qinghe
District knew that the grand commander was desperate to have more children.
Zhu Baozhu and Tan Xiaoya immediately got up to say goodbye to Lu Jiao. Since there were patients waiting, they decided to leave first.
“Sister, we’re going home for a nap.”
“Lady Lu, thank you for keeping an eye on Kangkang. I will have his father come and pick him up tonight.”
“Okay, don’t worry. We have teachers watching over the children here.”
Zhu Baozhu and Tan Xiaoya left, and Lu Jiao instructed Lu Gui to bring grand commander Xu and his wife into the back courtyard.
The grand commander and his wife followed Lu Gui into the back courtyard soon after.
Lu Jiao stood up to invite them to sit down. Grand commander Xu was not in good spirits and looked very sad as if he had lost both of his parents. His wife, on the other hand, was secretly pleased even though she felt a bit guilty.
In the past, Xu Qingyin had always used the fact that she was the only child in the family to her advantage, and everyone in the Xu family had pampered her. Even Lady Zhang herself dared not offend her in the slightest, despite being the matriarch of the house. But now, things had changed. When her husband found out that Xu Qingyin was not his child, he had her sent away hundreds of miles to marry a peasant man.
Actually, Lady Zhang knew that grand commander Xu had already shown great
mercy by not punishing Xu Qingyin and her mother severely for deceiving him. In the end, grand commander Xu still let Xu Qingyin go because she was the child he had loved for over ten years.
In the room, Lady Zhang looked at Lu Jiao with concern and asked, “Lady Lu, I heard from my husband about how you examined him for his illness. We all believe in your medical skills. Today, my husband and I came to ask you something. Can this illness of his be cured?”
As soon as Lady Zhang asked, grand commander Xu forgot his grief and looked up nervously at Lu Jiao.
Lu Jiao replied in a gentle voice, “This illness can be cured by surgery, but I don’t know to what extent he can recover. After the surgery, the disease is likely to recur easily. However, he can regain his fertility after the surgery. As for how many children he can have or how long he can be fertile, it’s impossible to say. We can only try our best.”
As soon as Lu Jiao finished, grand commander Xu and Lady Zhang’s eyes lit up, especially Lady Zhang’s. Although she was already thirty-five or six years old, many women of the same age could still give birth. In fact, she had always wanted to have a child.
“Can I still have a child?” Lady Zhang asked eagerly.
Grand commander Xu also helped her by asking, “If she can’t have a child, can you still give her a checkup?”
It was always him who couldn’t have a child, which had caused Lady Zhang to be unable to have a child. So now he wanted Lady Zhang to have a child.
Lu Jiao didn’t say anything and gestured for Lady Zhang to come forward. Lady Zhang sat down beside Lu Jiao, and Lu Jiao carefully examined her and asked about her menstrual cycle.
Then she concluded, “There’s nothing majorly wrong with your body. You’re just a bit weak and anxious. To get pregnant, you need to replenish your Qi and blood and maintain happiness. Don’t let yourself get anxious. Then, you should be able to get pregnant easily.”
Lady Zhang was overjoyed and said, “Lady Lu, if I can get pregnant smoothly, I will give you a basket of red eggs..’
