"If you can't cure my brother, what will we do? Everyone knows you grew up in the countryside since you were little, and you haven't even learned a single word. How could you understand medicine?" These words were spoken by Lu Yichen's cousin, Lu Xiaolin, who has always been arrogant and ignorant of right and wrong. Upon hearing about the deeds of this sister-in-law, she hurried over.
"Xiaolin, no rudeness allowed!" Master Lu said.
"Grandpa, don't let yourself be deceived by this country girl! So many renowned doctors couldn't cure the illness, how could she possibly do it? Who knows what kind of sorcery she's using, what if she worsens my brother's condition?"
Master Lu remained silent. Luanxiao could see Master Lu's concern and turned to Lu Xiaolin, saying, "Alright, since you say I don't understand medicine, I'll make a bet with you. If I can't revive Lu Yichen within three days, you can decide what to do with me!"
"If you can't revive my brother within three days, you have to leave here and never come back!" Lu Xiaolin pointed at Luanxiao and said.
"What if I do revive him?"
"You might as well take my head and use it as a soccer ball!" It was obvious that Lu Xiaolin didn't believe that Luanxiao could save Lu Yichen.
"No need for that, I just need you to apologize to me."
"Alright, Xiaolin, Luanxiao is now your brother's wife, your sister-in-law. An elder sister is like a mother, so don't be disrespectful. Go out!" Master Lu, who had always been kind and tolerant to the children, suddenly became so fierce that Lu Xiaolin was too scared to say anything more and followed Master Lu out of the room.
"Madam, if there's nothing else, I'll take my leave," the housekeeper said.
"Wait, I need the three-ingredient herbal medicine. Take me to the medicine cabinet."
"Madam, this is the medicine cabinet. It has a strong smell inside. If you need any medicine, just tell me and I will get it for you," the butler stopped Luanxiao.
"I am the lady of the house, and currently I am also tasked with treating Brigadier General's illness. There is nowhere I cannot go. Butler, please mind your position. Although I have not read many books, I understand the principle of repaying kindness. Now that my grandfather favors me greatly, if you assist me well while I treat Brigadier General, I will certainly praise you to my grandfather. But if you make things difficult for me at every turn, hmph!"
"Madam, please, I will wait outside for you. If you need anything, just call me." The butler's face turned pale with fright. He never expected a country girl to have such a sharp tongue.
Inside the medicine cabinet, there was a full box of medicinal herbs that were rare to find in the market. Luanxiao couldn't help but exclaim at this.
After obtaining the medicinal herbs, Luanxiao wasted no time and immediately took them back to personally brew. She added over a dozen kinds of herbs and brewed them for three hours. Then, after cooling the brewed medicine, she added the powdered rare herbs from the medicine cabinet, rolled them into small pills, and fed them to Lu Yichen with water.
Half an hour later, Lu Yichen's forehead was covered in a layer of sweat. "The time is up," Luanxiao said as he loosened Lu Yichen's collar, took out three silver needles from the medicine box, and inserted them into acupuncture points. Before long, Lu Yichen was covered in a layer of cold sweat.
"What wicked deeds have you done? The person who cursed you actually used three silver needles as a curse. Unfortunately, your life is not meant to end. You encountered me, tsk tsk," Luanxiao muttered to himself.
After saying this, he removed the needles, tidied up, and walked out of the room.
"Madam, how is Brigadier General doing?" The steward hurried over to Luanxiao as she walked out.
"I have already forced out one-third of the cold air in his body. His clothes have been soaked with the cold air. Go inside and change him into fresh clothes. I am too tired, I will go back to rest for a while, and I will come back in an hour." Luanxiao said while yawning.
"Madam, but Brigadier General is still..."
"Is there any problem?"
"Ah, no, you go rest, I'll take care of it." The butler originally wanted to ask her to keep an eye on Lu Yichen, but when he thought of her formidable appearance at the medicine cabinet, he held back his words.
"Is there anything unusual with him?" An hour later, Luanxiao came over.
"Madam, Brigadier General has been sweating all the time, his body is very cold, and he has changed five sets of clothes already!"
"Very well," Luanxiao said, taking out a silver needle from the medicine box, "Go call Grandpa, he will wake up in half an hour."
"Okay, okay, I'll go right away!" Although the steward didn't completely believe her, Lu Yichen had seen so many doctors, and Luanxiao was the first person to dare say such a thing. Anyone who heard it couldn't help but be excited.
Half an hour later, Lu Yichen slowly opened his eyes, "Grandpa."
"Yichen, you're awake. Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere?!" Master Lu was teary-eyed and couldn't stop trembling as he held Lu Yichen's hand.
"Who is she?" Lu Yichen saw Luanxiao standing by the side.
"I'm Luanxiao. By the way, I have a new identity now. I'm your newlywed wife," Luanxiao said preemptively.
"What?"
Master Lu told Lu Yichen the ins and outs of the matter, "Yichen, you should thank Luanxiao. If it weren't for her, your life would still be in danger!"
At this moment, there was a commotion outside the house, "You despicable woman, hiding inside and not coming out, what kind of ability is that? Grandpa, I told you she couldn't cure my brother's illness. Make her leave!"
"Let her in," Master Lu said to the housekeeper.
"Grandpa, make her leave!" Lu Xiaolin came in cursing.
"Who is being so rude to my wife!" Lu Yichen said.
"Brother, you're awake?!" Lu Xiaolin stared with eyes as wide as balls.
"Xiaolin, Luanxiao has already cured your brother's illness. Apologize to Luanxiao!"
"You actually cured him?!" "No, it's impossible. You must tell me, what kind of sorcery did you use? What did you do to my brother?" Lu Xiaolin grabbed Luanxiao by the collar.
"Outrageous!" Master Lu slapped Lu Xiaolin to the ground. "You uncultured thing, get out of here!" Lu Xiaolin had never seen Grandpa so angry, and was really scared, so she dared not speak and wiped away her tears as she left.
" Luanxiao, Xiaolin has been spoiled by us since childhood, don't take it to heart," Master Lu said.
"It's okay, Grandpa, I won't argue with her."
"Okay, Yichen has just woken up and needs to rest. Everyone, please leave. The Luanxiao will suffice." Master Lu led a group of people out.
