Chapter 262 - 262 263 Long Illness Makes the Physician_1

Chapter 262: Chapter 263: Long Illness Makes the Physician_1 Chapter 262: Chapter 263: Long Illness Makes the Physician_1 The injury on his foot was particularly troublesome, and the doctor hesitated for a moment, watching Hongde cry out in pain, Muniang grew anxious, “Doctor, can you cure it?”

The doctor was still pondering, the wound was quite serious and especially troublesome, his medical skills were not among the best, so he found it quite difficult at the moment.

Suddenly Yu Ze said to Hongde, “Do you want to learn martial arts in the future?”

Hongde’s eyes lit up, and he clenched his teeth, “Yes! That way I won’t be bullied again!”

Yu Ze quietly took Hongde’s foot from the doctor’s hands, “Martial arts training is very hard, can you endure the hardship?”

“I can! I want to protect my younger brother and sisters, no matter how hard it is, I’ll learn!”

“You have spirit. What’s a little hardship to a man,” Yu Ze had barely finished speaking when his hand made a move, and there was a crisp “snap”, and Hongde howled out loud.

Yu Ze put down his leg, “It’s done.”

Muniang looked on in stunned amazement at Yu Ze, then seeing Hongde able to bend his leg freely, she exclaimed with joy, “It’s really healed!”

Tears smeared on his face, Hongde finally showed a trace of a smile, “Really, really healed, boo-hoo, it really did, it hurt so much just now, boo-hoo.”

Yu Ze frowned, couldn’t he cry without being so feeble? Who just said they wanted to be a man? Not that he dared say it out loud, Muniang would probably glare him to death.

The doctor looked at Yu Ze with admiration, “May I ask who your teacher is? Your technique and strength are so precise, even I am no match for you. ”

Yu Ze said indifferently, “Self-taught, illness becomes the doctor.”

These words immediately stumped the doctor, who thought Yu Ze was reluctant to disclose, so he forced a laugh and said, “You’re quite the joker, nevermind, this child’s injury was severe, but I’ve more or less applied the right medicine for now, just remember to change it on time later.”

Muniang assented, but her gaze at Yu Ze darkened a little, his face showed no trace of jest, he must have suffered a lot at the border, hadn’t he?

Self-taught, she had seen those wounds on his body, three or five cuts both deep and shallow, ten years of life on the battlefield, wasn’t every day spent licked by the edge of a knife, escaping death? Leaving the glory of Marquis Chen Mansion’s heir in the capital to suffer like that at the border, what kind of unease and guilt was in his heart?

Muniang remembered his words about not having a single good day in ten years, perhaps those things she never knew had indeed left deep marks on his heart.

Seeing Muniang staring at him continuously, Yu Ze felt unhappy would be a lie, this was the first time in so many days that his wife had looked at him like that, Yu Ze quietly approached Muniang, “Did you suddenly start admiring me?”

He was expecting a scornful look from her, but Muniang softly said, “Hmm.”

Yu Ze was stunned, feeling as though happiness had come too suddenly.

Muniang then pushed him away firmly, “Don’t block the way, hurry up and take the children back to the government office, don’t keep Lord Lu waiting.”

Yu Ze was now very excited, immediately picked up Hongde cheerfully, and followed Muniang out.

When they arrived at the County Government Office, Muniang quickly spotted Madam Liu’s donkey cart parked outside the office, knowing that Madam Liu had come, she hurriedly quickened her pace to enter.

Just as they entered the main hall of the County Government Office, Honghai croaked out a hoarse cry, “Mom!”

Madam Liu virtually sprinted over, embracing her child and instantly burst into tears, “My boy, how have you suffered such terrible wrongs? What on earth have we done to deserve this?”

Honghai let out a hiss of sharp intake of breath, and Muniang quickly said, “The child has many wounds, you must not touch him carelessly.”

Madam Liu hurriedly let go, her heart aching fiercely, “Are there many injuries on his body? Who was the bastard that did this? Mother will absolutely not let them get away with this!”

Mr. Gao, upon hearing Madam Liu’s words, could not help but snort in disdain, “Indeed, the ignorance of a village woman, uttering such vulgar words!”

Madam Liu glared fiercely, “Was it you who beat him?!”

That gaze was murderous.

Mr. Gao was startled by the look, and then, stroking his beard, he said harshly, “He committed the act of theft, yet he still refuses to confess his guilt. As a Master, it was only right to punish him.”

Madam Liu, furious, was about to lunge forward to hit someone, but Muniang quickly held her back, whispering, “Now is not the time to act rashly, we are in the County Government Office, to teach a lesson doesn’t have to be right this moment.”

The implication was that there would be plenty of opportunities to teach a lesson later; it was inconvenient now at the County Government Office, but next time in a secluded place, they could beat them to a pulp.

With tears in her eyes, Madam Liu was crying so hard it was as if she became a tearful mess. Although she had often spanked the children from a young age, when had she ever dared to hit them hard? Even just patting them on the butt would make her feel pain. Now, after only a few days at the academy, her child had suffered such bullying and was beaten black and blue, akin to a treasured possession she had held in the palm of her hand being shattered into pieces.

Muniang quickly soothed her at the side. Yu Ze also found it unsuitable to interject, merely standing by silently. Qiao Yuanming, too, wasn’t good with words. Seeing his son injured like this, his heart was in agony, and he clenched his fists so tightly, glaring daggers at Mr. Gao.

Mr. Gao felt a twinge of fear in his heart, but he still tried to maintain his composure, muttering contemptuously, “Rabble, truly, birds of a feather flock together!”

Suddenly, a group of Government Officials carrying Water and Fire Sticks ran in, striking the ground with their sticks while shouting, “All hail~”

Following that, Lord Lu, dressed in official robes, stepped forward and hit the shocking hall wood, “Court is in session!”

Muniang was startled, results came this quickly?

Mr. Gao’s heart also clenched, could there really be an unexpected development?

Two Government Officials strode in and saluted, “Reporting to Your Honor! We have promptly searched the homes of Wang Shitou and Qiao Hongde, as well as their personal belongings, and found nothing!”

A murmur of surprise filled the hall, if nothing was found with these two families, what was going on? Then, a buzzing of discussions started.

Lord Lu tapped the shocking hall wood, “Silence! I am able to judge clearly on my own, you must not cause an uproar within the County Government Office!”

Lord Lu indeed had an imposing authority. At his command, the whole hall fell silent. Muniang quietly watched the situation unfold, not entirely reliant on the County Chief to do justice. If he couldn’t handle it, she would personally deal with those lawless brutes.

But at the moment when the hall was silent, a sharp and piercing voice came, “To hell with that son of a bitch who dares slander my son! I’ll fight them to the death! How dare they search my house, they must be sick of living?!”

Muniang felt a wave of nausea. She had been relieved that Mrs. Liang had not shown up, but inevitably, she couldn’t avoid her after all. Now Mrs. Liang was making a scene in the County Government Office; wasn’t that just giving Tupo Village a bad name for nothing?
