Translator: CokeZero Editor: Rainystars
Lu Jiao looked at Lady Zhang, who was overly excited, with a wry smile.
The grand commander Xu was also happy, but he soon thought of the surgery he needed to go through and couldn’t help but beco nervous. He was afraid of the surgery and there were not many people who could do it.
“Lady Lu, there are too few people who can perform surgery. Where can I find soone to do it?”
Lady Zhang’s joy was instantly doused by cold water. Yes, her husband had to undergo surgery to cure his illness before she could conceive. Now, where could they find soone to perform the surgery on her husband?
Lu Jiao smiled and said, “Actually, I know how to perform surgery, but I cannot perform the surgery on the commander. I will ask my disciple to perform the surgery. Grand commander, need not worry, but before the surgery, you must promise one thing.”
“What is it?” Grand commander Xu asked eagerly.
Lu Jiao nodded and said, “My husband has beco the aide to Hu, the magistrate. Grand commander, you must assist my husband in his career.”
After Lu Jiao finished speaking, the grand commander and his wife were surprised.
“You are saying that scholar Xie beca an assistant to magistrate Hu?”
Lu Jiao nodded. She was not afraid to tell the grand commander and his wife that Xie Yunjin was working as an assistant to the magistrate. At present, the grand commander could only rely on her to perform the surgery. Even if she told him, she was not afraid that he would reveal this secret.
After the commander and his wife exchanged glances, they said, “Although everything seems calm and peaceful in the Qinghe District, there is actually a lot of darkness hidden beneath the surface. The younger generation of the four major families has done many bad things, but they have colluded with the county magistrate’s assistant Yang and administrator Peng. The governnt officials and businessn are working together, with the businessn giving money to officials and the officials giving them great convenience.”
After the grand commander finished speaking, Lady Zhang nodded repeatedly. “This is indeed a troubleso matter. Everyone in Qinghe District thinks my husband is only focused on family and having more children. That is only a tactic of his to isolate himself. He does not want to collude with them, but he does not have the ability to resist them, so he can only resort to such a desperate move.”
Lu Jiao nodded and looked at the grand commander, “Do you want to let them do whatever they want? They are just re businessn. If we can find a breakthrough, we can easily take them down. As a governnt official, don’t you want to do sothing practical for the people and get rid of these pests?
Of course, in the past, grand commander, you did not dare to offend those bloodsucking businessn alone, but now you have the support of magistrate Hu and officer Zhao. If he also joins in, can’t we deal with the four major families, an assistant, and an administrator?
Grand commander, you do not want to collude with them because you are a man with a conscience. Are you really willing to watch Qinghe District being dominated by the four major families and businessn, who have the lowest status? Do you governnt officials really need to fear them?”
Lu Jiao’s words ignited the grand commander’s blood, and he suddenly stood up.
“Okay, I’m willing to assist them in bringing down the evil thugs of the four influential families in the Qinghe District and restore peace for the people.” Although Lady Zhang was a little worried, she didn’t say much.
Lu Jiao looked at the grand commander and chuckled as she waved her hand, “Don’t worry, we won’t make a fuss about this for now. Let’s catch them off guard first.”
The grand commander nodded and thought of his own illness.
“When can I have my surgery?
Lu Jiao thought for a mont and said, “I’ll go to Baohe Tang when I have ti and talk to Qi Lei about your surgery. Once it’s settled, I’ll have soone go to your mansion to inform you.”
“Okay, thank you, Lady Lu.”
As the couple was about to leave, several footsteps were heard outside the door. They turned to look and saw that Xie Yunjin had led a few people in. Beside Xie Yunjin was a young man of seventeen or eighteen, with fair and handso looks but a sowhat foolish expression. When he smiled, he looked like a three or four-year-old child.
Upon seeing this person, Lu Jiao imdiately thought of Tian Jinan, whom Xie Yunjin had told her about. As for the two won behind Tian Jinan, they should be his sisters, because they looked sowhat similar to him.
The Tian family were all good-looking.
While Lu Jiao was deep in thought, the grand commander and his wife had already stood up. “Since Lady Lu has guests, we’ll leave first.” As they stood up, the Tian family ca over to say hello.
“Greetings to grand commander Xu and Lady Zhang.”
Grand commander Xu and Lady Zhang nodded and exchanged a few words with the Tian family before they left.
Afterward, Lu Jiao asked Xie Yunjin to see the couple off.
Xie Yunjin imdiately introduced the people who ca from the Tian family to Lu Jiao.
In addition to Tian Jinan, who had a brain injury, there was his fifth sister, Tian Wan, who was already married, and his sixth sister, Tian Huan, who had not yet married.
Regarding being a guardian to Tian Jinan, these two girls also participated. Since the only male mber of the family was foolish, the won had to take over.
After all the introductions, Xie Yunjin sent the Xu couple out. Behind him, Lu Jiao invited the Tian family to sit down.
After they sat for a while, Tian Jinan couldn’t sit still and began to twist his body. He occasionally looked outside, and Lu Jiao knew that he wanted to play on the slide in the front courtyard.
Lu Jiao smiled and said, “Are you Tian Jinan? After I finish examining you, you can go play on the slide outside.”
Tian Jinan imdiately cheered, “Okay, I’ll behave.”
Lu Jiao stood up and sat down next to Tian Jinan, gesturing for him to extend his hand.
While checking Tian Jinan, Lu Jiao talked to the two sisters of the Tian family.
“Earlier, my husband told about Tian Jinan’s condition. This kind of illness is generally caused by brain damage. The human brain has many nerves, and it’s difficult to repair them when they are damaged because nerve cells are irreplaceable cells. However, the brain has neural plasticity, so after treatnt for brain damage, there is still a possibility of partial recovery. But as for how much recovery, we don’t know.
Brain injuries can be classified into mild, moderate, and severe types. Mild ones can basically be cured, but obviously, Tian Jinan is not a mild case. However, he is not a severe case either because severe brain damage can cause paralysis, bedriddenness, and loss of bowel and bladder control. Tian Jinan doesn’t have these symptoms, so his brain injury should be moderate.” After saying this much, Tian Huan, the sixth sister of the Tian family, anxiously asked, “I just want to know if my brother’s illness can be cured?”
Lu Jiao glanced at Tian Huan. She was tall and handso, unlike an ordinary girl. She looked like a bold woman who traveled a lot.
Tian Wan, the fifth sister, was more of a gentle person. She imdiately reached out and pulled Lu Jiao’s hand when she saw how Tian Huan reacted.
Tian Huan sighed and said, “I’m just anxious!”
Lu Jiao looked at them and said, “It’s okay. Didn’t I just tell you? The brain has plasticity. This kind of brain injury can be treated. However, I can’t be sure what it will be like after treatnt..”
