Chapter 97 The ancestral secret recipe
Qiao Yu'an also thought of something, and looked at Lu Chengjing with a little more eagerness, waiting for the answer.
Lu Chengjing did not answer but asked: "But is there anyone in the Qiao family who is sick?"
"He's my eldest cousin." Qiao Yu'an's eyes were filled with worry. "He went horse racing with his friends in the suburbs, but he accidentally fell off the horse and the horse's hoof broke his right leg. If he can't be cured, he'll probably become a cripple in the future."
Qiao Yu'an's eldest cousin had a cheerful personality and made many friends. Qiao Yu'an had dragged Lu Chengjing to have dinner with this eldest cousin several times and he had a good impression of him.
After a moment's silence, Lu Chengjing said, "My injuries have been treated by Doctor Yuan in the village. In addition to the soup, I also took medicine for the wound."
With Qiao Yu'an's understanding of his friend, he naturally heard that the focus was on the medicine.
The village doctor is also called the barefoot doctor.
It’s not that barefoot doctors are not good at medicine, but that doctors with superb medical skills can become famous even if they are hiding in the deep mountains and forests.
Yushu Village is neither far nor near from the county town. If this Doctor Yuan is really an outstanding doctor, it is impossible that there is no news at all.
He didn't beat around the bush with Lu Chengjing and asked directly: "Where did this medicine come from?"
Lu Chengjing glanced at Shang Wan.
Qiao Yu'an also looked at Shang Wan suspiciously, "Did you buy it?"
Shang Wan: “I did it.”
"Oh, you do..." Qiao Yu'an paused, his eyes widened, "You are a doctor?!"
It's no wonder he was surprised. No matter how you looked at Shang Wan, he didn't look like a doctor.
"I'm not a doctor." Shang Wan began to deceive, "My family has a secret recipe passed down from generation to generation. It is passed down to girls and not boys. It is very effective in treating injuries from falls."
Qiao Yu'an didn't believe Shang Wan, so he asked his friend for confirmation, "Cheng Jing, is this really Shang... uh, my sister-in-law's ancestral secret recipe?"
Shang Wan raised his eyebrows secretly, he changed his words quite quickly.
Lu Chengjing nodded, "My wife took it out to treat my injuries, and then I knew about this."
"So that's how it is." Qiao Yu'an touched his nose, somewhat regretting his previous bad attitude towards Shang Wan.
Just as I was thinking about how to ask Shang Wan to buy ointment, Xiao Huan hung up the clothes and came over with a bamboo basket, "Sister, it's time to cook, when are we going to go into the mountains?"
"Right now." Shang Wan pinched some snacks and fed them to Xiao Huan, then said to Lu Chengjing and the other two, "You guys chat, Xiao Huan and I will go into the mountains."
Xiao Huan knows a lot of wild vegetables and can distinguish poisonous mushrooms from edible ones. Shang Wan just happened to take Xiao Huan into the mountains to get some wild game to entertain the guests.
Qiao Yu'an watched Shang Wan and the other two leave, his brows drooping in frustration.
When Ah Le heard that Shitou was farming, he immediately left his master behind and happily ran to find Shitou to reminisce about the past.
Qiao Yu'an brought a stool and sat down next to the wheelchair. "Let me ask you, does your sister-in-law still have any ancestral ointment?"
Lu Chengjing: “Yes.”
"Sell me a box." Qiao Yu'an found it much easier to talk to Lu Chengjing, and said with a smile, "I'll take it back for my eldest cousin to try."
Lu Chengjing shook his head, "No."
"Lu Chengjing!" Qiao Yu'an glared, "You can't even bear to give me a box of ointment. Are we still brothers?"
Lu Chengjing sighed, "After all, it is my wife's ancestral secret recipe, and the ointment is also in my wife's hands. I can't sell it to you without permission."
"You, you, you..." Qiao Yu'an kept saying "you" for a long time without any further words. She opened her folding fan and fanned herself with it, causing Lu Chengjing to sneeze involuntarily.
Seeing this, he quickly closed the folding fan and stopped fanning.
Lu Chengjing looked at him, "What did you want to tell me in the county government office before?"
"Oh, it's my sister-in-law who is famous..." Qiao Yu'an tapped his lips with his folding fan. How come he didn't know what was going on?
Seeing that Lu Chengjing was still staring at him, he hesitated for a moment, looked around, and lowered his voice and said, "I once accidentally saw my sister-in-law and a strange man in the alley, and... they were hugging each other."
Lu Chengjing's face darkened.
"I hesitated for a long time whether to tell you about this." Qiao Yu'an observed his friend's expression and comforted him, "Maybe there is some misunderstanding. Find a time to ask your sister-in-law."
After all, they weren't caught in bed together. What if he was mistaken?
"No need to ask." Lu Chengjing said, "I know about this."
"Puff——" Qiao Yu'an spat out all the medicinal tea, choking and making him cough.
"Ahem, you... ahem, when did you know that?"
Lu Chengjing said: "Before you."
Qiao Yu'an was silent for a moment, and stole a glance over his friend's head, thinking he saw a bright green light.
Lu Chengjing saw what Qiao Yu'an was thinking at a glance, and said slowly: "This matter is complicated, not what you think. My wife is very good, I want to respect her and trust her, so don't think too much in the future."
Qiao Yu'an once again suspected that Shang Wan had drugged Lu Chengjing, as his good friend was clearly not like this before!
He said: "This is a family matter, just keep it in mind."
Lu Chengjing nodded and asked about the matter he had asked Qiao Yu'an to do at the county government office last time.
"I have been sending people to keep an eye on the Ge family."
Qiao Yu'an took a sip of the medicinal tea, which had a minty scent and was quite refreshing. He couldn't help but drink two more sips.
Lu Chengjing didn't urge him, but looked through the books that Qiao Yu'an brought, all of which he didn't have at the moment.
Qiao Yu'an put down the tea bowl and said, "As you expected, someone in the Ge family did get into trouble."
"Who?"
"Ge Shunliang's wife."
Lu Chengjing frowned, "How is his wife?"
Qiao Yu'an spat out two words, "Suicide for love."
Lu Chengjing: “…”
"Isn't it surprising?" Qiao Yu'an sighed, "This lady is also a love-struck person. I heard that after taking Ge Shunliang's body back, she stopped eating and drinking, and hanged herself in the room in the middle of the night. When the maid found her, she was already hard."
Lu Chengjing asked: "How are the others in the mansion?"
"Of course they buried them together." Qiao Yu'an said, "The old housekeeper was a loyal man who protected the young masters in the mansion. Perhaps he was afraid that the young masters would be sad in the mansion, so he sent them to the other courtyard outside the city. There were so many guards, it was like they were guarding a treasure."
Lu Chengjing sneered in his heart, isn’t it a treasure?
Qiao Yu'an asked curiously, "Hasn't the Ge Shunliang incident been resolved? Why do you still want me to keep an eye on the Ge family?"
"Ge Shunliang's matter is indeed settled."
Qiao Yu'an was waiting to hear what was going on, but Lu Chengjing seemed to be thinking about something and suddenly stopped talking, which made Qiao Yu'an very anxious.
Fortunately, Lu Chengjing didn’t think about it for long, and then said: “This matter has something to do with the Lu family.”
"Aren't you not going back to the Lu family?" Qiao Yu'an tapped the tea bowl. "Why are you still concerned about the Lu family's mess?"
"It's not that I'm concerned." Lu Chengjing lowered his eyes and stared at the table, "I'm just confused about some things and want to find out the truth."
"You're keeping me in suspense again." Qiao Yu'an knew without even thinking that his friend wasn't going to tell him everything, but he also didn't plan to get to the bottom of it.
Whose family doesn’t have a few things that cannot be told to outsiders?
He asked: "Do you still want to keep an eye on the Ge family's movements?"
Lu Chengjing nodded, "Thank you."
"It's just a matter of a few words. I don't need to watch it myself." Qiao Yu'an rolled his eyes and said with a smile, "If you really want to thank me, you can help me sort out the accounts and say a few good words for me in front of my sister-in-law."
