Chapter 49 So that’s it

"Ruozhu, where did you learn the method of saving Xi Dan'er?" Bai Zepei asked suddenly. He remembered that he had watched his little sister grow up. Why did the little sister suddenly become able to treat people's illnesses?

Bai Ruozhu was a dentist in her previous life, and she also learned traditional Chinese medicine from her grandfather when she was a child. But now she is simply useless as a hero. She is just afraid that her family will ask, why is she suddenly treating people?

"I saw this when I passed by a medical clinic last time I went to town. Someone drowned at that time, but it was much more serious than Xi Dan'er. I think that's how the doctor squeezed out the water he choked on." Bai Ruozhu thought to herself. It's best to go to the town alone, otherwise you won't be able to make it up.

Bai Zepei nodded thoughtfully, "My little sister is smart and learns things quickly." He felt that his sister seemed to be very talented in studying medicine. Maybe she could develop in this area. If she could become a doctor, like If Dr. Li does that, life will be easier in the future.

Bai Ruozhu didn't know that her second brother was thinking about finding a master for her. If he knew, he would be a little bit dumbfounded. The level of the village doctor is probably about the same as when she was ten years old.

Of course, she did not underestimate the doctors of this era. Many of their folk remedies were even more effective than her medicine.

When the two of them arrived at the county government office, it was indeed past the time agreed upon by Bai Zepei and Mr. Li. Fortunately, when Mr. Li saw the two of them, he still had a smile on his face and didn't look like he was unhappy about it.

Bai Ruozhu felt that Mr. Li was not a stingy person and had a better impression of him.

The two brothers and sister saluted Mr. Li. Mr. Li smiled and said to Bai Ruozhu: "Your brother calls me brother, and you won't be too polite to me. I know a little about your affairs, so I can't help you."

Bai Ruozhu saluted Lord Li and said respectfully: "Thank you very much, Lord Li, for making the decision for the women of the country. Thank you even more for being considerate of the situation of the women of the country. You are worthy of being the upright official that the people in the town call you."

Mr. Li laughed heartily, looked at Bai Zepei and said, "Isn't your sister reading some books with you? This opening made me feel embarrassed."

Bai Zepei also laughed, "My sister has been studying with my grandfather since she was a child. She also likes to read books. She is very good at it on weekdays. She is really not exaggerating when she says that you are an upright official."

Master Li was said to be in a good mood by the brother and sister, and he quickly asked someone to reissue the marriage certificate for Bai Ruozhu. Since Chang Sheng was not present, he transferred the marriage token left by Chang Sheng to the marriage certificate and kept the file.

Because Mr. Li still had official business to attend to, the brother and sister stood up to leave. Mr. Li did not leave them alone, but only asked them to pay more attention to safety on the way back.

Bai Ruozhu followed her second brother outside the county government office. Suddenly she felt as if someone was watching her. She couldn't help but look back. Unfortunately, she didn't see anything. There were only officials who were busy coming and going, but none of them were staring at her. Look at her. She couldn't help but smile and shake her head. Maybe the bigger her belly was, the easier it would be for her to have random thoughts, so there would be no eyes.

The brother and sister left the county government office, and a man wearing dark blue clothes walked out of the corner. The man muttered, "I didn't expect that woman's perception to be quite keen."

After saying that, he turned around and went to the back hall. As soon as the county magistrate Mr. Li saw him, he came up to him with a smile and said in a polite tone: "Yichun, why are you here suddenly?"

Jiang Yichun nodded slightly towards Mr. Li, "I'm passing by, feel free to come and have a look." His voice was cold, as if there was no emotion at all.

Mr. Li even said in a flattering manner: "Then stay here for lunch, and I will ask my servants to prepare it immediately."

"Yes." Jiang Yichun responded almost softly, but even so, Mr. Li went down to make arrangements with a happy face.

Jiang Yichun glanced at the marriage registration book on Mr. Li's case. Because Mr. Li left in a hurry, he didn't have time to put it away. Jiang Yichun ignored it and sat directly in front of Mr. Li's case and started reading it casually.

He quickly turned to the latest page, which had the names of Bai Ruozhu and Changsheng written on it. He wondered with some confusion, was there anyone named Chang? The woman's original name was Bai Ruozhu, but why didn't her husband even have a last name?

At this moment, Mr. Li came back and saw Jiang Yichun who was doing the crime before the case. He couldn't help but become nervous. Isn't Jiang Yichun here to check on him?

He hurriedly walked over with a smile, "Yichun, why are you interested in watching this?"

Jiang Yichun didn't even raise his head, pointed to Bai Ruozhu's name, and said, "This man didn't even sign or have his fingerprints printed, how about a rubbing of a token? Lao Li, you're not bending the law for personal gain, are you?"

Master Li secretly cried out that he was unlucky and hurriedly explained, "Yichun, you don't know the whole story. This woman is also a hard-working woman. She is the granddaughter of a scholar in the nearby Houshan Village. She is the only daughter that her parents love. I couldn't bear her leaving home, so I hired a son-in-law for her, but before they got married, the husband died in an accident before they could go to the county office to apply for the marriage certificate."

Bai Zepei said that day that Changsheng fell off a cliff and his whereabouts were unknown. Master Li felt that the mountains in Houshan Village were so high that there would be no way to survive if he fell, so he had automatically classified Bai Ruozhu as a widow.

"Well, she was widowed at a young age, and she was still pregnant with a child. It was not easy for her to remarry. I saw that she was well-educated and had a rough fate, so I wanted to help her." Master Li explained.

However, looking at Jiang Yichun's obviously disbelieving look, he could only say in a nonchalant manner: "Her brother is also a very talented boy in this county. He may become a scholar after passing the provincial examination. I can be regarded as a favor to a talented person in this county."

Jiang Yichun raised his eyelids and said "oh" lightly again, but Mr. Li breathed a huge sigh of relief.

"You don't know, there is something going on here. The woman was almost killed, one dead and two dead." Mr. Li looked like he was offering a treasure.

Jiang Yichun raised his eyes, seeming to be a little more interested this time, "Oh?" his tone rose a little.

Mr. Li started gossiping, saying that Liu San's daughter-in-law had committed adultery with a boy from the Cao family. Then Liu San's daughter-in-law was jealous of Bai Ruozhu and conspired with Cao Lesheng to spread rumors about Bai Ruozhu. Ruozhu’s story was told once.

Jiang Yichun couldn't help but frown, "Then why did the Liu family's wife want to harm Bai Ruozhu?" There must be some reason, right?

Master Li showed disdain and said: "When she confessed, she said she was jealous of Bai Ruozhu's beauty and had read books. She also said that the two families had a quarrel. Bai Ruozhu's mother slapped the Liu family's daughter-in-law in the face, so she held a grudge. . But as far as I know, the Liu family’s daughter-in-law caused trouble first and pushed the pregnant Bai Ruozhu down, leaving a scar on her forehead. "

Master Li shook his head as he spoke, "You don't know how vulgar that country woman is, it's really unbearable."
