After traveling through time, she took her husband to be a food doctor

The case was soon clarified. Those men were street thugs who had targeted Niu Xiaoben, who was generous. They had been punished by Qin Xiaofeng for collecting protection money before, and they behaved themselves for a few days before returning to their old ways.

Beating with a stick, doing hard labor, these were some of the ways to punish people.

The sun went down and it gradually got dark. Ding Xirui and Nanxing sent Niu Xiaoben and the other three home. As soon as they arrived at Tongniu Lane, someone shouted, "Master, Madam, the young master is back!"

It turned out that Niu Xiaoben had not returned for a long time, and Mr. and Mrs. Niu had been anxious for a long time, and sent many people out to look for him. As soon as their son came in, the couple hugged him and looked him up and down.

"Son, where have you been? Why did you come back just now?"

"Did something happen? Why is there dirt on your clothes?"

"Dad, Mom, stop looking. I'm fine. Not even a hair has fallen out." Niu Xiaoben was a little embarrassed. He broke free from his parents, turned sideways, and leaned over to invite Ding Xirui in.

"Doctor Ding, please."

Only then did Mr. Niu and Mrs. Niu discover Ding Xirui.

"So you met Doctor Ding." Mrs. Niu breathed a sigh of relief. "You kid, you didn't even send someone back to tell me."

"Mom, it's not like that." Niu Xiaoben muttered softly.

"Nothing?" Mrs. Niu asked in confusion.

"Mom, come in first and talk inside."

"Okay, come in and have some tea. Doctor Ding, please." Mr. Niu stretched out his hand and motioned Ding Xirui to come in.

When everyone entered the house, Mrs. Niu found that the two servants and Song Hanzhang were all covered in dust and dirt, which made her even more confused.

"Where have you been? Why is even Xiaoqiao like this?"

"Mom, we were halfway there when someone robbed us..."

"What?" The couple was startled again and stood up suddenly.

"It's okay. We are back safely." Niu Xiaoben asked the two to sit down and slowly told them what happened in the afternoon.

Mrs. Niu touched her chest repeatedly, her heart pounding with fear.

"Son, you fought with someone. Which hand did you use to hit someone? Does it still hurt?" She grabbed Niu Xiaoben's two hands and looked at them carefully.

"Mom, I'm fine, don't worry."

"You two, how are you taking care of the young master? You're so useless!" Master Niu pointed at the two servants and said loudly.

The two servants knelt down hurriedly.

"Dad, there were a lot of robbers, so it's really not their fault. They have been protecting me all the time." Niu Xiaoben explained quickly.

"Hmph! Useless things." Mrs. Niu sneered, "Next time you go out, bring a few strong men who can fight with you." Mrs. Niu's eyes were full of anger.

"You two, go to the yard and get twenty sticks. Don't even think about this month's wages. If you can't protect the young master, what use are you!" she continued.

"Madam, please spare me. I will protect the young master well in the future!" The two begged for mercy again and again.

"You're just being lazy and doing nothing. You should have been beaten long ago. Butler, go quickly!"

"Yes!"

The butler received the order and pulled the two men away, one in each hand.

"Mom..." Niu Xiaoben panicked and held Mrs. Niu's arm and begged. However, Mrs. Niu was angry and gave the order regardless of the presence of Ding Xirui, an outsider. The shouts of the two soon spread into the house.

Ding Xirui was conflicted. The two servants had done their duty today and protected Niu Xiaoben. However, they wanted to abandon Song Hanzhang, a little girl, and they really needed to be taught a lesson. However, after being beaten, they would only remember to do more to protect their young master in the future, and would not care about other people. Oh!

"Dad, please tell them to stop." Niu Xiaoben hugged Master Niu's arm again. However, it was obvious that Mrs. Niu was in charge of all household affairs. Master Niu coughed, turned aside, and ignored him.

"Mom, don't be angry." Seeing no hope, Niu Xiaoben returned to Mrs. Niu.

"Madam, anger is harmful to your health, please calm down. They both tried their best today, but there are so many gangsters that it is inevitable that they may not be able to take care of them all." Ding Xirui also spoke.

Mrs. Niu's expression changed, and she waved at the housekeeper, and the stick stopped.

"Today, for Doctor Ding's sake, I will let you go for now. If you are no good again, I will kick you out!" Mrs. Niu said sternly.

"Yes." The two people outside the door kowtowed repeatedly.

Niu Xiaoben looked at Ding Xirui with gratitude.

"Mom, I'm lucky that Xiaoqiao and Doctor Ding showed up in time today, otherwise, I might have really been beaten..."

"Doctor Ding, thank you for saving my son!" Mr. Niu began to bow and salute.

"Thank you, Dr. Ding!" Mrs. Niu stepped forward and held Ding Xirui's hand.

"You two, I just happened to pass by and offered to help. You don't have to be so polite. To be honest, it was the little girl who was courageous today!" Ding Xirui stood up, walked to Song Hanzhang, and pushed her in front of everyone.

"Doctor Ding, Xiaoqiao doesn't dare."

Song Hanzhang lowered his head and returned to his original position.

"Good girl, you did a good job." Mrs. Niu praised. She turned her head and said to the housekeeper, "Give Xiaoqiao a raise in the future."

"Yes."

"You all should learn from Xiaoqiao!" Master Niu pointed at the other people in the room and continued.

"Thank you, ma'am, and thank you, sir." Xiaoqiao bowed, but her face looked a little strange.

Ding Xirui was somewhat helpless. In this courtyard, the two servants were house slaves and could be disposed of at will. Song Hanzhang was a hired servant, so Master Niu and Madam Niu would naturally not thank them. A pay raise was a reward. Alas, what she wanted might just be a word of affirmation, not wages.

However, as long as she works as a maid in this courtyard for one day, she cannot have an equal dialogue with the master. Even if she is now a female teacher in the Niu Mansion and teaches all the maids in the mansion to read, she is still a servant in front of the master.

Song Hanzhang had already understood this. So, from the moment she entered the courtyard, she lowered her head like the other maids, retreated behind Niu Xiaoben, and didn't say a word.

It was already dark, and there was no point in asking about weight loss. Ding Xirui got up, said goodbye, and took Nanxing back to the Lin family.

After moving all the gifts to the warehouse temporarily, Ding Xirui walked into the house and sat down. She poured herself a glass of water and picked up the tea bowl. She suddenly felt some pain in her back.

Was I beaten by some bastard today? She thought carefully.

Yes, it seemed like I was hit.

"Oh! I'm not very skilled." She stood up and went to look for medicine in the medicine box in the study.

Lin Mingxuan is back.

"What are you looking for?" he asked.

"Do you have any more ointment for promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis?" Ding Xirui didn't look up, and continued to rummage through the pile of bottles and jars, and finally found it in the corner of the medicine box.

"Who's hurt?"

Ding Xirui suddenly reacted and smiled awkwardly.

"I was doing something brave today and got scratched on the back by accident."

Lin Mingxuan's brows were twisted into a knot.

"Let me see." He strode over.

"No, I'll go find Pinellia." Ding Xirui picked up the small medicine jar, walked around the table, and tried to run out the door. Lin Mingxuan took a few steps back, turned around and closed the door.

"What are you doing?"

"Let me check the injury."

"I said no."

"Why are you shy? Nothing will happen to me." Lin Mingxuan suddenly laughed.
