Sir Song, do you want to pledge yourself to me?

Fu Jiangzhou's tendons were deliberately cut. When Ji Nuan touched his wrist, she could clearly feel that the tendons had retracted a little.

Ji Nuan immediately decided: "Come with me, the treatment can be completed in half an hour."

Fu Jiangzhou wanted to wait until the class was over before treating them, but Ji Nuan simply asked the children to recite the text on their own first.

"Don't worry, it won't take up too much of their time, as they're not in a rush to take the imperial examination. And if you can recover soon, you'll be better prepared for the imperial examination next spring."

Fu Jiangzhou looked at Ji Nuan with gratitude, his eyes were unusually bright, giving people a particularly sincere feeling.

"Thank you, Miss Ji."

"Let's go." Ji Nuan smiled slightly, then she saw Ma Duo sitting at the back of the class and called him, "Duoduo, come over and help me."

"Okay!" Ma Du happily followed Ji Nuan to the backyard.

Ji Nuan disinfected Fu Jiangzhou's wrist with Shengji Water, then applied an anesthetic that took effect immediately. Looking up at Fu Jiangzhou, she said seriously, "The treatment requires incising the skin. Even with anesthetic, pulling on the retracted tendons will still be painful. If you really can't stand it, I can temporarily knock you out."

Fu Jiangzhou was a little nervous about having to cut open his skin again, but compared to his career, he could overcome anything. "I'm fine, Miss Ji, please go ahead and treat me."

Ji Nuan nodded, and with swift and precise movements, she found the severed tendon. Using tweezers, she carefully pulled the two ends of the broken tendon together, handing it to Ma Duo, who was standing nearby, to help secure it. Then, she took out the tiniest needle and began carefully sewing the tendon back together.

The entire process was swift and professional, and the wound was soon properly healed. Ji Nuan wrapped a white cotton bandage around Fu Jiangzhou's wrist and took out two medicine bottles and placed them in front of him.

"This is an external medicine to help the wound heal quickly, and this is a medicine to be taken internally, once a day. Until it recovers, you can't use force with your right hand, the wound can't be exposed to water, and you can't eat spicy food." Ji Nuan instructed in detail, and finally added, "If there is anything inconvenient to do, you can ask Liu An for help."

Fu Jiangzhou was sweating profusely, his underwear soaked with sweat, but his heart was filled with excitement. He nodded, indicating that he had remembered it.

"Miss Ji's great kindness, Jiang Zhou has no way to repay you. If you need me for anything in the future, please let me know."

He made it clear that he was willing to serve the Ji family. With his talent, he believed he would definitely pass the imperial examination, otherwise he would not have attracted such hatred and harm. Ji Nuan's kindness in rescuing him was far beyond his ability to repay with just a few dollars.

As long as he can embark on a career in politics in the future, he will definitely be able to bring protection and support to the Ji family.

Ji Nuan respected his pride as a scholar. She smiled and said, "Okay, I hope Mr. Fu recovers soon and can realize his ambitions."

Fu Jiangzhou went to the classroom to watch the children read, and Ma Duo stared at Ji Nuan intently.

Ji Nuan was packing up her things while asking, "Why are you looking at me like this?"

Ma Duo replied earnestly, "Miss, your medical skills are so good that you can even reconnect severed tendons. Can you treat asthma?"

Ji Nuan: "Who has asthma?"

Ma Duo sighed, "He's our junior apprentice. When he was a child, he accidentally fell into a pond. By the time we rescued him, it was too late, and his healthy body became severely ill. He used to be a martial arts prodigy, but after he became ill, every time we practiced, he could only watch enviously from the side."

After hearing this, Ji Nuan felt a surge of compassion as a doctor. She said, "How about this, I'll give you a few days off. Bring him here first so I can take a look at his condition."

Ji Nuan was willing to do him a favor. After all, they were merely hired guards, not bound by an indenture. Although they all appeared honest and reliable, their true loyalty was unclear. If she could help cure her junior brother's asthma, they would remember her kindness and be willing to help their families with all their might if they were in danger.

Mado's face showed joy, "Thank you, Miss. I will go pack my luggage now."

"Go ahead and ask the kitchen to prepare some dry food for you."

Mado thanked him repeatedly and then rushed out like a gust of wind.

At this time, Xiang Qing hurried over to report: "Miss, the village chief's aunt is making a fuss at the gate, saying that our family is hiding her niece and insisting that we hand over Fang Miaomiao."

Ji Nuan was impatient to deal with these things, and frowned slightly, "Where's my mother?"

Xiangqing replied, "Aunt Zhou's daughter-in-law is giving birth, and Madam has gone to help."

Ji Nuan nodded and said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, I'll go check it out."

At the gate, Butler Liu was trying to persuade the village head's aunt to come inside to talk, but the village head's aunt was clearly determined to make the matter known to everyone. Not only did she not listen to Butler Liu's persuasion, she became even more aggressive.

Miaomiao came to Ji's house yesterday and said hello to her. The two had agreed before that if she (Fang Miaomiao) had the chance to stay in Ji's house, she (the village chief's aunt) would cooperate outside to make a big deal out of the matter, proving that Ji Chuan bullied her (Fang Miaomiao), and would force Ji Chuan to marry her (Fang Miaomiao) no matter what.

At this moment, the village head's aunt was extremely happy in her heart, but on the surface she pretended to be heartbroken and questioned Housekeeper Liu: "Miao Miao left home yesterday and only came to your place. Tell me, where did you hide my Miao Miao?"

The surrounding neighbors were also attracted by the noise and gathered in groups of two or three. The village head's aunt became even more excited when she saw this and asked a series of questions like a cannonball.

"What's the matter with a housekeeper coming out? Who is the person who makes the decision in your family? Why hasn't he shown up yet? Did you do something wrong and you don't dare to come out to see people? Miaomiao, Miaomiao, are you in there? Did the Ji family bully you? Come out quickly!" The village chief's aunt stood at the door and deliberately shouted loudly inside, her voice full of provocation and pride.

Ji Nuan happened to hear these words when she walked to the door. She sneered in her heart. The purpose of this aunt and nephew was too obvious!

Since they were so shameless, let them stir up trouble for a while and see what else they could say. She had carefully observed the situation along the way and was sure Fang Miaomiao was not at the Ji family. In the end, she didn't care who was embarrassed.

Ji Nuan calmly ordered, "Xiang Qing, go find the village chief."

After receiving the order, Xiangqing immediately went around from behind the crowd to the village chief's house to look for someone.

The village head's aunt saw Ji Nuan appear, but she didn't speak to her directly. She continued to yell, "Let your Ji Chuan come out and explain clearly. What exactly do you mean by hiding my niece? She's a good girl, but she's been missing all night. What did your family do to her?"
