I was divorced because I got pregnant during the lean years, so I went back to my parents’ home and

"Stop! What are you doing?" The yamen runner at the door shouted rudely, scaring Huang Po so much that she started to run back.

Ji Xiaobei grabbed him.

Huang Po leaned against Ji Xiaobei, her legs trembling as she asked timidly:

"Bei, the government office is not that easy to enter, why don't we leave!"

She was most afraid of the people in the yamen. If they wanted to kill someone, that person would not live past tomorrow. It was so fucking scary.

She used to follow her grandmother to escape famine and beg for food.

Her grandmother treated a yamen runner for a disease, but she failed to cure the disease, and the man died. Her grandmother was beaten to death on the spot.

From then on, she decided to give up medicine and turn to farming, and never treat other patients again.

Who would have thought that when she was over fifty, she would end up following her grandmother's path.

It is really the law of karma, no one can escape it.

This is also the reason why she refused repeatedly when Ji Xiaobei repeatedly asked her to open a pharmacy for her.

She would rather set up a stall at the entrance of the market and prescribe medicine than to see patients.

The people setting up stalls are all poor people.

If she opened a shop, she might have to deal with people from the government office, and she was scared.

Jiaojiao went to pick her up that day, and she went there with a righteous look on her face.

She thought that all the injured people on the West Mountain were refugees.

I didn't expect that he was an official.

She must have been out of her mind at the time and treated his injuries, but now he is dead.

Mrs. Huang was filled with regret when she heard a familiar cold voice: "The doctor I invited must not be rude!"

Fu Jichang strode out of the door.

The young yamen runner was so frightened that he quickly stepped back and saluted respectfully.

Ji Xiaobei imitated the servant and said, "Sir, Doctor Huang is here!"

"Come in!" Fu Jichang's tone was still cold, but the look in his eyes was a little gentler.

Huang Po struggled to stand up straight and remembered what Xiaobei said to her on the way.

Xiaobei is Xiaoyao's servant, and he is a doctor.

Yes, I am a doctor, I am not afraid of anything.

She straightened her back silently and followed Ji Xiaobei inside.

This was the first time Ji Xiaobei came here, but he didn’t dare to look around blindly, after all, he was just a servant.

Huang Po looked at the ground firmly, not daring to look up at all.

The two people were led to a quiet courtyard after many twists and turns.

"Doctor Huang, I'd like you to take another look at Lord Cao. He has been unconscious since he woke up this morning, and his body is burning hot..." Fu Jichang introduced Lord Cao's condition.

Mrs. Huang was arrogant and didn't dare to say a word.

I made such a big cut yesterday and pulled out such a long branch. It would be strange if I didn't have a fever.

When Prefect Liang heard the voice, he knew that the doctor had arrived, so he hurriedly led all the officials out.

"Doctor, please help Lord Cao treat his condition. Two doctors from Anzhou said that he could not be cured and they just left..." Prefect Liang said to Huang Po anxiously.

He was so afraid that Lord Cao had died in Anzhou.

Fu Jichang coughed twice in dissatisfaction and said, "Master Liang has worked hard to guard day and night. Take the officials back to rest first!"

Prefect Liang was unwilling to leave, so he waved his hand and said, "No need, I'll stay here, and the others can go back."

Everyone retreated.

Ji Xiaobei glanced at Prefect Liang and felt really sorry for the fat old man. He was shaken all over by the horse's back that day and the prefect had lost all his face.

Looking at his fat face again, he looked much more haggard.

"Prefect Liang, there are two documents on the desk. Please go and take a look. The people below need them urgently!" Fu Jichang didn't want Prefect Liang to be an eyesore here.

Prefect Liang had no choice but to turn around and leave.

The three men entered the house and closed the door.

"Mrs. Huang, I'm sorry to bother you. Lord Cao was fine when he came back yesterday, but he had a fever early this morning and doesn't look well!" Fu Jichang said, looking at Lord Cao's sallow face.

Ji Xiaobei didn't know whether old man Cao was awake or asleep, so he didn't dare to speak and just nodded at Fu Jichang.

Fu Jichang understood what she meant and turned around to guard the door.

"Mrs. Huang, go take off his shirt! Check his wound." Ji Xiaobei said softly.

Mrs. Huang took a step back and clenched her fists.

Me, I won’t go!

Men and women are not intimate with each other.

Ji Xiaobei: Okay, if you don’t go, why don’t I go?

Ji Xiaobei took two steps forward and was about to lift Old Man Cao's quilt when Mrs. Huang rushed over from behind and pushed Ji Xiaobei to the back.

How can I let you do this while I’m here?

Wife, I've seen everything!

Mrs. Huang lifted up Old Man Cao's quilt and gently unbuttoned his clothes, revealing his bony chest.

Mrs. Huang: Oh my god, you’re thinner than that old dog during the famine!

Being called Lord Cao, he must be a high-ranking official, yet he still can’t get enough to eat?

It’s not easy to be an official!

Huang Po opened his wound, Ji Xiaobei took out the medicine powder, changed the medicine, and bandaged it again, and Huang Po put clothes on him.

Mrs. Huang felt his pulse and thought to herself: This old man is too weak, he needs to be strengthened. She took out a pack of silver needles and inserted the needles into his acupuncture points.

Lord Cao moved his eyelids, as if he was very tired, and could not open his eyes.

Ji Xiaobei took out some anti-inflammatory medicine, mixed it with water and gave it to him to drink.

He couldn't eat anything with his fever, so he should have an IV. There was no other choice, so Ji Xiaobei gave him two bottles of nutrient solution.

She has done her utmost by doing these things. Whether old man Cao can survive depends on his luck.

After taking out the needle and cleaning up the scene, Ji Xiaobei went out to deal with Ji Chang and said, "Sir, the treatment is over. The prescription is on the table. Go get him some medicine!"

The three people happened to meet Prefect Liang who was holding documents.

When he saw the servant beside Fu Jichang, he was startled and almost dropped the document in his hand.

He bent hastily and picked up the document.

"Master Liang, please walk carefully!"

Fu Jichang said coldly that he had just seen Governor Liang glance at Ji Xiaobei twice, and he felt very angry.

"Hey, hey..." Magistrate Liang stuttered.

The three people left the yamen, and Ji Xiaobei helped Huang Po onto the donkey cart.

Fu Jichang watched the donkey cart disappear at the end of the road before returning to the government office.

After walking for a long time, Huang Po finally came to her senses: "Xiaobei, do you think Lord Cao will die?"

"Life and death are determined by fate, and wealth and honor are determined by God. There is nothing we can do about it!"

Mrs. Huang: No, we can’t let him die!

If he dies, neither of us will be able to survive.

"Xiaobei, Lord Cao needs to take good care of his body. He is as thin as a skeleton and looks so pitiful..." Mrs. Huang kept on rambling.

Ji Xiaobei's mind was not on Lord Cao.

Fu Jichang's attitude towards Prefect Liang just now shows that Fu Jichang is a higher-ranking official than Prefect Liang. So what kind of official is he?

This was the first time she thought about this question in so many days.

Damn it, the little guy turned out to be a high-ranking official, hahahaha…

That’s great! From now on, I’ll have someone to back me up in the government office.

Ji Xiaobei's laughter was trembling, and Huang Po's heart was in a knot.

I cursed inwardly: Xiaobei is such a careless kid...
