Jiang Mubai was even more shocked, "Don't you know? The reason the magistrate wanted to kill you was because he bribed you."

After hearing Jiang Mubai's words, Lin Shu could no longer maintain his previous composure.

"What did you say? He bribed the magistrate to kill me before?"

“Otherwise, why would the magistrate kill you if he doesn’t even know you?” Instantly, Jiang Mubai felt at peace.

He was also puzzled that Lin Shu could remain so calm in the face of his enemy's attempt to kill him; apparently, he was unaware of the danger.

Lin Shu felt so frustrated that he wanted to tear Jiang Mubai apart and eat him.

"Why didn't you tell me sooner?" If she had told her sooner, she would have watched them die.

Jiang Mubai pursed his lips speechlessly, "I thought you knew."

"I know nothing," Lin Shu said, and left the Zhao residence without looking back.

Jiang Mubai followed closely behind.

The three returned to Renyi Hall and saw Lu Zijin leading Ye Xiang out.

Upon seeing Lin Shu, Lu Zijing happily led him to Lin Shu, "Mom, Uncle Ye is all better now, let's go home."

Ye Xiang also bowed solemnly to Lin Shu, saying, "Madam."

“That’s good,” Lin Shu said.

Upon seeing Ye Xiang, Lin Shu suddenly thought of Lu Shiyuan at home.

He still shows no signs of waking up, so... thinking of this, she looked at Jiang Mubai.

Jiang Mubai looked at her warily, "What do you want to do?"

“I would like Dr. Sun to see a doctor for me,” Lin Shu said, turning his gaze to Dr. Sun.

Dr. Sun looked at her in shock, "Dr. Lin, your medical skills far surpass mine. Is there anything else you can treat me?"

Lin Shu shook his head. "Dr. Sun, we each have our strengths. Although I know medicine, I am far less experienced than you, so I would like to trouble you to come with me."

Upon hearing this, Doctor Sun stroked his goatee, clearly satisfied with Lin Shu's words.

"Alright, since Dr. Lin has spoken, then I, Sun, will make a fool of myself."

“Then let’s go now,” Lin Shu said, an impatient man who wanted to take the person away on the spot.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Mubai was immediately tempted.

You know, Lin Shu's cooking is really delicious. "Perfect, I'll take you back."

Lin Shu looked at him and asked, "Where are you going?"

"What do you think? You've already taken all the doctors from my clinic, and you're asking me what I'm doing there?" Jiang Mubai said defiantly, then ignored her and turned to arrange for the servant to prepare the carriage.

Seeing this, Lin Shu didn't bother to refuse him anymore.

She took Lu Zijin in Uncle Liu's oxcart, while the others rode in Jiang Mubai's horse-drawn carriage.

The group returned to the Lu family's courtyard, and Lu Zijing jumped off the oxcart first and ran into the courtyard.

"Grandma."

Upon hearing Lu Zijin's voice, Lady Ji hurriedly came out of the bridal chamber.

The moment she saw Ye Xiang, her surprise was palpable, and she couldn't help but exclaim, "Ye Xiang, is this really you?"

Upon seeing Madam Ji, Ye Xiang was filled with excitement and immediately knelt down before her, saying, "Madam, I have finally found you."

This sudden scene startled both Jiang Mubai and Doctor Sun.

Lin Shu hadn't expected things to turn out this way, and quickly reminded her, "Grandma, besides Mr. Ye, there are other guests."

Her reminder made Ji Shi realize something was wrong.

Ji hurriedly wiped away her tears and reached out to help Ye Xiang up. "We've known each other before, but we haven't seen each other for a long time. Seeing each other again so suddenly makes me so excited."

“We know, Mother-in-law,” Lin Shu added, “I specially invited Doctor Sun to come and have him take a look at my husband.”

“Okay,” Ji Shi readily agreed.

With Ji Shi's approval, Lin Shu led Doctor Sun toward Lu Shiyuan's room.

Ye Xiang wanted to follow, but was stopped by Ji Shi.

Their previous actions had already alerted Jiang Mubai, and visiting Lu Shiyuan now would undoubtedly expose their identities.

Ye Xiang had no choice but to suppress his burning desire to see the general.

Lin Shu led Doctor Sun to Lu Shiyuan's bedside.

Doctor Sun skillfully took Lu Shiyuan's wrist and took his pulse.

Lin Shu looked at him nervously, afraid of hearing some bad news from him.

After a moment, Doctor Sun slowly lowered Lu Shiyuan's wrist and began to speak.

“Judging from the pulse alone, Young Master Lu, there is indeed nothing wrong.”

“Yes, that’s what I saw too, but why hasn’t he woken up yet?” Lin Shu said.

Doctor Sun frowned slightly and pondered for a moment. "It is indeed very strange. Logically speaking, his pulse is stable and there should be no major problem, but he does not wake up."

“I have read about a similar illness in ancient books.”

"What illness?" Lin Shu asked anxiously, his eyes shining with hope, as if a drowning person had grasped at a straw.

Dr. Sun stroked his goatee and slowly said, "Dissociative identity disorder. The patient's body is fine, but their soul seems to be wandering outside the body and unable to return to its place, thus causing them to remain in a coma for a long time."

"Dissociative identity disorder?" Lin Shu repeated, the term both unfamiliar and mysterious to her. "Is there any cure?"

Dr. Sun shook his head, then nodded, his expression complex. "This illness is difficult to treat and cannot be easily resolved by medicine. He will wake up on his own, but he needs a trigger."

"But before that, Dr. Lin, you might as well give him some calming and nourishing herbs; he might wake up soon."

After hearing his words, Lin Shu suddenly realized, "How come I didn't think of giving him some medicine to calm his mind and nourish his soul? Thank you, Doctor Sun."

"It's nothing," Dr. Sun said with a smile.

Compared to Lin Shu's medical skills, his medical skills are indeed still very basic, and there is much to learn from him.

After seeing Lu Shiyuan, Lin Shu led Doctor Sun out of the house.

Jiang Mubai, meanwhile, was playing with Lu Zijing's tiger cub. "Sweetie, this is my Uncle Jiang. He'll be our friend from now on."

"How about we let Uncle Jiang hold Tian Tian?" Jiang Mubai looked at 'Tian Tian' in Lu Zijing's arms with anticipation.

Lu Zijing was not a stingy person, and immediately handed 'Sweetie' to Jiang Mubai.

To everyone's surprise, 'Sweetie' bared its teeth in dissatisfaction and immediately showed its white teeth to Jiang Mubai.

Jiang Mubai was so startled that he immediately withdrew his hand and looked at Lu Zijing with a wronged expression. "Ajin, your sweetie is naughty. It won't let me hold it. Quickly teach it a lesson."

Lu Zijing took the opportunity to pat 'Sweetie's' bottom. "Sweetie, everyone says Uncle Jiang is my friend, how can you not give me face?"

After saying that, she handed 'Sweetie' to Jiang Mubai again.

This time, 'Sweetie' was much more obedient, letting Jiang Mubai hold her.

Lin Shu came out and saw this scene, shaking his head speechlessly.

I never expected that the owner of Renyitang would be so childish.

He immediately settled Dr. Sun in the courtyard to rest, and then went into the shed to prepare a feast for them.
