God's Daughter, Queen of Miraculous Medicine

Lu Tingyan's family bought a horse carriage, and on the way back to Lujia Village, they caused a lot of discussion among the villagers.

When Lu Tingyan and her family returned to the village in a brand new carriage, the villagers looked at them with surprise and envy. They gathered around and talked about it.

"Oh, isn't this Dr. Lu's daughter? How can their family afford a carriage?" a villager said in surprise.

"Yes, this carriage is really beautiful. You can tell at a glance that it is very expensive." Another villager echoed, expressing his envy.

"This carriage is really beautiful, much better than those broken ox carts in our village!"

However, some people also showed jealousy and dissatisfaction.

"Humph, what's so great about that! Isn't it just a little money?"

"Look at how smug they are. It's really annoying!"

"Maybe their money came from illegal sources!"

"I heard that Doctor Lu's embroidery shop is doing good business and making a lot of money." A woman interrupted.

"Ms. Su, does your embroidery workshop still need people? I also want to go to work." Another village woman asked anxiously.

"Oh, this is really enviable. When will our family be able to afford such a luxurious carriage?" An elderly man let out a long sigh.

However, not everyone expressed their blessing to the Lu family. Wang, who was standing aside, muttered sourly: "Humph! They are still making money from our hard work."

Mrs. Tan heard this and immediately retorted, "Wang, I think you are just jealous of others!"

When Lu Tingyan's parents heard the villagers' discussions, they couldn't help but feel mixed emotions. On the one hand, they were happy and proud to be able to buy the carriage; but on the other hand, they also knew that this behavior might attract the jealousy and criticism of others. Faced with this situation, Lu Tingyan's parents decided to keep a low profile and try not to pay attention to those negative comments.

Lu Tingyan sat in the carriage and looked at the villagers outside through the window. She saw some familiar faces and some unfamiliar faces. She knew that these people were her fellow villagers and she should respect them.

When the carriage stopped at the gate of the Lu family, Lu Tingyan and her family got off the carriage. They saw that there were already some people gathered at the gate, all of whom came to congratulate them on buying the carriage.

"Doctor Lu, congratulations on buying a carriage. This carriage is so beautiful. Your family is getting richer and richer." said a villager.

"No, no, this is all thanks to everyone. Our family bought the carriage for the convenience of traveling to the embroidery workshop." Doctor Lu said modestly.

"Doctor Lu, your medical skills are getting better and better. Our child was sick and you cured him. We are so grateful." said a woman.

"This is what I should do. If you have any illness in the future, feel free to come to me," said Doctor Lu.

Lu Tingyan and her family chatted with the villagers for a while, and then went back into the house. They knew that their purchase of a horse-drawn carriage would definitely become a topic of conversation among the villagers, but they didn't care. They just hoped that they could live a peaceful and happy life.

However, at this moment, an uninvited guest broke in. He was a village bully and a lazy person like Li Dapeng, named Zhang Hu. Zhang Hu was very jealous of Lu Tingyan's family. He walked into the yard with a swagger and said in a sarcastic tone: "Hey, isn't this Doctor Lu? I heard that your family has made a lot of money from the embroidery workshop. Give me some money to spend."

When Lu Tingyan's parents saw Zhang Hu, their faces suddenly turned gloomy. They knew that Zhang Hu was a scoundrel who often bullied the weak and extorted money in the village. They didn't want to conflict with him, so they suppressed their anger and said, "Zhang Hu, what on earth are you doing?"

Zhang Hu chuckled and said, "You don't have to pay. I heard that your family bought a horse-drawn carriage. It's really grand! I want to ride in one too. I've never ridden in a horse-drawn carriage before. How does it feel?"

Lu Tingyan's parents flatly refused: "No! This carriage is for our own use, we won't lend it to outsiders!"

Zhang Hu was immediately furious when he heard this. He pointed at Lu Tingyan's parents and scolded, "Don't refuse my toast and drink the wine for punishment! I, Zhang Hu, am a well-known figure in the village. How dare you not give me face?"

As he said this, he was about to grab the reins of the carriage. Seeing this, Lu Tingyan's father hurried forward to stop him. The two of them started pushing and shoving, and the situation suddenly became chaotic.

At this moment, Lu Tingyan stepped forward and said loudly: "Zhang Hu, don't go too far! This carriage was bought by our family with hard-earned money. Why do you want to sit in it?"

Zhang Hu's eyes lit up when he saw Lu Tingyan. He had long coveted Lu Tingyan's beauty, but he had never had the chance to do it. Now that he saw Lu Tingyan was so brave, he liked her even more. He said lustfully, "Oh, isn't this Tingyan? She's so beautiful at such a young age. She'll be amazing when she grows up! As long as you agree to marry me, I won't cause any trouble to your family!"

After hearing these words, Lu Tingyan was so angry that she trembled all over, and her face turned pale as paper in an instant. She widened her eyes and looked at Zhang Hu in disbelief, pointing her finger at him with trembling hands, her voice a little hoarse because of anger: "You shameless man! How dare you say such a thing? Stop daydreaming! Even if I die a thousand times or ten thousand times, I will never marry a scum like you!"

Zhang Hu was immediately enraged when he heard this. His face flushed, veins popped out on his forehead, and he stared at Lu Tingyan viciously, gritting his teeth and threatening: "Okay, if you don't accept my toast, I'll punish you! In that case, don't blame me for being ruthless! If you don't marry me, I'll burn down your house."

"Zhang Hu, you are worse than a beast. My daughter was only nine years old, and you were so cruel and cruel to kill her!" Lu Tingyan's parents were furious, their eyes filled with grief and despair.

"Haha, so what if they are young girls? They are young and ignorant, innocent, and it is more fun to play with them! That feeling is simply irresistible!" However, Zhang Hu showed no remorse. Instead, he revealed a perverted and twisted smile, which was disgusting.

However, just when Zhang Hu was getting carried away, suddenly, a deafening voice like thunder came from outside the door: "Zhang Hu, you are so bold, you dare to do such an unforgivable thing!"

When everyone looked over, they saw a young man walking into the courtyard with his head held high. He was tall and strong, with a handsome face, and his every move exuded an unparalleled majestic aura.

When Zhang Hu first saw this man, his face turned pale and his body trembled uncontrollably. He stuttered and said, "Xiao...Mr. Xiao, how...how did you get here?" His words were full of fear and awe. It turned out that this man was Xiao Yi, who saved Lu Tianyu. Xiao Yi was the eldest son of the county magistrate. He didn't like to read, but liked to wield swords and guns. He came to Lujia Village this time to find Lu Tianyu, but unfortunately he encountered Zhang Hu's trouble with the Lu family.

Xiao Yi walked up to Zhang Hu and said coldly, "Zhang Hu, you scoundrel, you are bullying me again! Do you believe that I will send you to the government office and let my father's yamen runners serve you?"

Zhang Hu was so frightened when he heard this that he trembled all over. He knew that Xiao Yi was a person with a background, and if he really sent him to the government, he would definitely not end up well.

He begged for mercy quickly, "Master, I...I know I was wrong! Please forgive me!"

Xiao Yi glanced at him and said, "Okay, I'll let you go this time! But don't bully others again in the future, or I will never let you go easily!"

Zhang Hu nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes, yes, yes! I won't dare to do it again!"

After saying that, he left the yard in dejection.

Xiao Yi turned around and said to Lu Tingyan's family, "Uncle Lu, Aunt Su, are you okay?"

Lu Tingyan's parents quickly said, "It's okay, it's okay! Thanks to you, Mr. Xiao!"

Xiao Yi smiled and said, "It doesn't matter! Zhang Hu is a bully who only bullies the weak and fears the strong. With me here, he won't dare to act arrogantly!"

"Brother Xiao, if you weren't here, I'm afraid we really wouldn't know what to do." Lu Tingyan said softly.

"Sister Yan'er, don't be polite. Tianyu and I are like brothers. Seeing this situation, how can I stand idly by?" Xiao Yi responded with a smile.

"Mr. Xiao, I really cannot repay your kindness. Did you come here specifically to look for Yu'er?" Doctor Lu asked gratefully.

"That's right! I wonder if Tianyu has returned?" Xiao Yi asked with concern.

"Yu'er and the others should be on vacation tomorrow. We need to concentrate on preparing for the college entrance examination." Doctor Lu replied.

"I see. That's fine, I'll come visit you again tomorrow." Xiao Yi nodded to show his understanding.

"Mr. Xiao, why don't you have dinner here before leaving?" Su asked enthusiastically.

"In that case, I'm sorry to bother you." Xiao Yi responded politely.

At this moment, Lu Tianyuan silently watched the scene in front of him, and a trace of sadness rose in his heart. He saw that Lu Tingyan and Xiao Yi had a close relationship, and his father and mother treated Xiao Yi very kindly, which made him jealous.

During dinner, Xiao Yi saw Lu Tianyuan at the table and couldn't help but become curious. He felt that Lu Tianyuan looked familiar, as if he had seen him somewhere before, but he couldn't remember where.

"Who is this?" Xiao Yi couldn't help but ask.

Lu Tingyan introduced with a smile: "He is my brother Lu Tianyuan. He has been studying abroad and just came back recently."

Xiao Yi suddenly understood. No wonder he felt a sense of déjà vu when he saw Lu Tianyuan. It turned out that he was Lu Tingyan's brother! He stood up quickly, bowed to Lu Tianyuan, and said, "Oh, I didn't expect that Brother Lu was here. I was so rude that I didn't recognize him before. I hope Brother Lu won't blame me." He thought to himself, "Why do I feel that Brother Lu looks familiar? Just like... um... the prince in the capital... but he seems a little different...

Seeing this, Lu Tianyuan also hurriedly stood up and returned the greeting, saying, "Brother Xiao, what are you talking about? Please take a seat quickly."

After the two of them sat down again, they chatted politely for a while before they started to eat. During this time, Xiao Yi secretly observed Lu Tianyuan. He saw that although he was young, his words and deeds were very decent, generous, elegant and polite. Moreover, his conversation showed that he was knowledgeable and extraordinary, and he was faintly noble. Even the coarse cloth could not hide his nobleness. His identity was suspicious.

"I've heard that Brother Lu has been away from home for many years to study, but I don't know what exactly he has learned?" Xiao Yi asked curiously while picking up some food.

Lu Tianyuan smiled slightly when he heard this, and replied with a chuckle: "What I have learned is indeed quite complicated and diverse, but if I were to say what I am most interested in and proficient in, it would undoubtedly be the art of war and martial arts."

Xiao Yi's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said excitedly, "Haha, that's great! It turns out that Brother Lu is also a person who likes to study military tactics and martial arts like me. It seems that we really have similar interests!"

Lu Tianyuan smiled and nodded in agreement, and then added: "Yes, I have been obsessed with this since I was a child, so I chose to travel far away to learn from masters everywhere, hoping to acquire more profound knowledge and skills."

"I see, Brother Lu really has lofty ambitions!" Xiao Yi exclaimed, "If you have time, why not practice martial arts with me."

"Then I'd better obey your command." Lu Tianyuan agreed happily.

After dinner, Xiao Yi and Lu Tianyuan came to the yard. They stood opposite each other, their eyes flashing with confidence.

"Brother Xiao, please!" Lu Tianyuan made a gesture of invitation.

Xiao Yi was not polite either. He flashed and attacked Lu Tianyuan fiercely. Lu Tianyuan dodged sideways and then counterattacked. For a moment, fists and palms collided, creating a whistling wind.

The two fought back and forth, and it was hard to tell who was better. Their moves were so exquisite that they drew cheers from the people around them.

After the competition, Xiao Yi and Lu Tianyuan had a certain understanding of each other's strength. They smiled at each other, feeling a sense of mutual admiration.

"Brother Lu, your skills are extraordinary and I admire you." Xiao Yi said sincerely.

"Brother Xiao, you are too kind. Your martial arts are not bad either." Lu Tianyuan replied.

"It was really exhilarating to fight with Brother Lu today!" Xiao Yi said with a smile.

"Yes, I look forward to fighting with Brother Xiao again next time." Lu Tianyuan also said with a smile.

At this time, the moonlight shines on them, reflecting their agile figures.

"It's getting late, I should go back." Xiao Yi looked at the sky, "Brother Lu, let's make an appointment another day."

"Okay, take care." Lu Tianyuan clasped his fists and said goodbye.

Xiao Yi turned and left. Lu Tianyuan looked at his back, thoughtfully.

In the study, County Magistrate Xiao Lin sat at his desk, frowning slightly, as if thinking about something.

Xiao Yi stood aside, looking solemn, and slowly said: "Father, today I found a man named Lu Tianyuan at my friend's house. His words and actions made me feel very familiar."

The county magistrate raised his head, looked at Xiao Yi, and asked, "Oh? Do you think he is familiar?"

Xiao Yi nodded and said, "Yes, father. I always feel that he looks a lot like the Crown Prince."

The county magistrate's face changed slightly when he heard this. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Yier, don't talk nonsense. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is of noble status, how could he appear here?"

Xiao Yi said quickly, "Father, I am not talking nonsense. I have met His Royal Highness the Crown Prince once in the palace. Although it was only for a short time, his appearance and temperament left a deep impression on me. And this Lu Tianyuan, both in appearance and temperament, is somewhat similar to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

The county magistrate couldn't help but feel a little confused after hearing what Xiao Yi said. He knew that his eldest son was a cautious person and would not easily say such a thing. Could it be that this Lu Tianyuan really had some relationship with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?

Thinking of this, the county magistrate said, "Yier, this matter is very serious, and you must not jump to conclusions. You should carefully investigate the identity and background of this Lu Tianyuan to see if there is anything suspicious."

Xiao Yi cupped his hands and said, "Yes, father. I will investigate as soon as possible."

The county magistrate nodded and said, "Okay. If this Lu Tianyuan really has something to do with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, then we must protect His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. When you have time, go to your friend's house more often and protect His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Xiao Yi responded and turned around and walked out.

The county magistrate was the only one left in the study. He sat at his desk, lost in thought.
