Amazing Pastoral World: Unparalleled Medical Queen

One day in mid-December, Lingxia Village was bustling again.

The former Luzhou prefect Qian Gui was beheaded. Fang Xingzheng, who had just been promoted to Luzhou prefect, came to Lingxia Village and paid a special visit to the Lu family.

The village head accompanied Fang Xingzheng, full of pride.

"Lord Fang has condescended to come to our Lingxia Village, which really brings honor to our entire village." Lei Zheng said the welcome speech with a very respectful attitude.

He had great respect and admiration for Fang Xingzheng, a truly loyal official who served the people. Because of Fang Xingzheng, the people of Xilin County lived a much better life than before.

Lu Ke'er secretly laughed at his inappropriate welcome speech. A villager came to the Lu family in advance to report that a high-ranking official had come to the Lu family. Lu Ke'er had just walked out of the courtyard gate a few steps when she met Fang Xingzheng and the village head.

"What brings Brother Fang here?" she said with a smile.

During the epidemic, she went to the county government office frequently and developed a deep friendship with Fang Xingzheng. She was impressed by Fang Xingzheng's pragmatic style and hard work. After meeting her many times, Fang Xingzheng was also deeply impressed by her knowledge and insights. So he asked her not to call him "sir" but to call him "big brother" directly. Because of this, Ye Feng and Rong Zhixing gave him a cold look for several days.

In fact, Rong Zhixing and Yu Qianjing had also privately suggested to Lu Keer that she should also call them big brothers. However, Lu Keer just smiled and did not agree.

Because of this, Rong Zhixing and Yu Qianjing gave Fang Xingzheng the cold shoulder for several days.

"Ke'er, of course it was the wind from the capital that blew me here, haha." Fang Xingzheng did not hesitate to joke in front of Lei Zheng and other villagers.

Lei Zheng and the villagers were envious and proud when they saw how familiar Lu Ke'er was with the prefect.

A golden phoenix finally flew out from the valley.

Lu Ke'er was stunned when she heard this.

Fang Xingzheng pointed at the carriage behind him and said, "Look, these were sent by Young Master Xiao. He asked me to hand them over to you personally."

As for why he didn't let the visitor hand it over to Lu Ke'er personally, Fang Xingzheng could probably guess a thing or two. Presumably, Ye Feng was afraid that the visitor would accidentally expose his identity.

I just don’t understand why Ye Feng hasn’t confessed to Ke’er yet.

When Lu Ke'er heard the news about Ye Feng, her heart started pounding.

Ye Feng and his companions had been away for more than 20 days. Calculating their pace, they should have returned to the capital more than 10 days ago.

In other words, as soon as he arrived in the capital, he immediately began to prepare gifts and send them before the mountains were blocked by snow.

"Hmph, he still has a conscience." Lu Ke'er snorted coldly and welcomed Fang Xingzheng into the courtyard.

Seeing this, the village head knew that the two had other things to talk about, so he declined Lu Ke'er's invitation and said goodbye to go home. Before leaving, he asked the other villagers to disperse as well.

"I am honored to meet you, Lord Fang." Lu Tianning, sitting in a wheelchair, greeted Fang Xingzheng in the living room.

Fang Xingzheng hurriedly saluted him back: "Uncle Lu, there is no need to be so polite. You are embarrassing me. I am not an adult today. I am just a junior who came to visit relatives and friends. Uncle Lu, just call me by my name."

Lu Tianning said sincerely, "You can't do that. My Lord, you don't know that Ke'er is a very capable child, but she is also very daring. Thanks to your care, otherwise, this child would have suffered a lot."

Although many people in the countryside and mountain villages can accept their daughter being out in the open, in the county town, the tolerance for this is not very high. As the head of the county, Fang Xingzheng's attitude towards this matter is crucial. Fang Xingzheng not only cleared Lu Ke'er's name, but also opened the door for Lu Ke'er to practice medicine and do business, and took the initiative to make friends with Lu Ke'er. This also invisibly deterred those conservative and pedantic people in the county town, making them dare not despise Ke'er.

Lu Tianning was not a pedantic person. On the contrary, in Lu Keer's mind, the original owner's father was quite open-minded. Therefore, when he supported her and tolerated her living according to her own wishes, she was grateful.

However, Lu Ke'er was still deeply moved when she heard Lu Tianning's heartfelt words to Fang Xingzheng in person.

Fang Xingzheng said a few words modestly, then asked the servants accompanying him to bring in the gifts from the car.

"Uncle Lu, these were sent by Young Master Xiao." He pointed at the wooden boxes and said, "Young Master Xiao said that these are all small daily items, including food, clothing and daily necessities. I hope Uncle Lu will accept them."

Lu Tianning glanced at Lu Keer meaningfully.

When Lu Ke'er received her father's gaze, her ears suddenly turned red and a blush appeared on her face.

Fang Xingzheng ordered his followers to open the boxes one by one.

Lu Ke'er's eyes widened in surprise.

The first box was filled with all kinds of exquisite and ingenious toys, obviously for Lu Mingxi. The second box was filled with silk and satin, luxurious and beautiful. The third box was filled with various specialties of the capital, mostly food. The fourth box was filled with all kinds of jewelry, pearl hairpins and bracelets. The jewels were dazzling. The fifth box was empty except for a bright red coral tree. Judging from its color and size, it was very rare and must be worth a fortune. In the sixth box, there was a snow-white fur coat. The fur was white and delicate without a single stray hair. I don’t know what animal’s fur it was made of. It looked very high-end.

Lu Keer sighed in her heart.

It is confirmed that Xiao Xiao is a wealthy man.

"Mr. Xiao is really thoughtful." The more Lu Tianning looked, the more uneasy he felt.

His daughter might not know the value of these gifts, but he knew. For example, the coral tree and the fur coat were priceless.

If he was not mistaken, the red coral was one of the gifts that Ling State presented to Qi State. It was two feet tall, bright red like blood, bright in color, and in various shapes. It was the best coral. It was said that the Empress saw it and liked it very much. She asked Emperor Zheng'an for it, but Emperor Zheng'an did not give it to her. Instead, he gave it to the Crown Prince as a birthday gift.

It is said that the Crown Prince has loved this pearl coral tree since he was a child. He placed it in his bedroom and admired it every day.

Unexpectedly, he gave it to Ke'er in a blink of an eye.

And that fur coat, if he guessed correctly, was made of a white tiger skin. That white tiger was hunted by the current Emperor Zheng'an.

He gave the white tiger skin to the crown prince. The crown prince used the skin to make a snow-white fur coat, and it was said that he loved it like a treasure...

"This red coral and this fur coat were specially given to Ke'er by Master Xiao." Fang Xingzheng mentioned this specifically. This was also something His Highness had specifically instructed. The Lu family could divide the other boxes of gifts however they wanted, but the last two boxes had to be given to Ke'er.

"Thank you, Master Xiao, for us. However, these gifts are very expensive, and we feel unworthy of them. We hope..."

Lu Tianning was considering how to decline the gift, but was interrupted by Fang Xingzheng: "Uncle Lu, what are you talking about? It was Ke'er who saved Young Master Xiao's life, so what does this little gift mean to you? Or do you think that Young Master Xiao's life is not worth these things?"

"That's... that's not what I meant."

"Then take it."

"This... please tell Mr. Xiao not to send us off in the future. The capital is far from here, and the journey is long and time-consuming. We really feel bad about it."

Fang Xingzheng froze slightly when he heard this.

Is Ke'er's father trying to keep his distance from His Highness?
