Just then, someone suddenly burst through the door. Then, just as abruptly, fell to the ground on her knees.

Xie Yunjin and Lu Jiao looked over and saw that the person kneeling was their neighbor, Zhao Hehua.

Zhao Hehua was crying her heart out. As she cried, she croaked, “Master Xie.”

She was almost breathless as she cried. Then, behind her, old man Wen huffed and puffed as he burst in as well. Anxious, he explained, “Ma’am, master, someone knocked on the door and the moment I opened the door, Lady Zhao knocked me over and ran inside.”

Lu Jiao knew old man Wen’s legs were no good and it would be easy for Zhao Hehua to knock him aside. This wasn’t his fault.

“It’s okay uncle Wen. You can go back.”

Old man Wen sighed in relief. To have met such a great master was so fortunate. These days, he ate well and slept well. He didn’t want to get fired.

Inside the living room, Zhao Hehua spoke up again while she cried, “Master Xie, Lady Lu, my parents want me to marry butcher Lu Daniu. I don’t want to marry someone so uneducated. I want to…”

Before she could finish, another loud voice stopped her with much sternness, “Shut up!”

Officer Zhao marched into the living room. The first thing he did was to apologize to Xie Yunjin and Lu Jiao, “Master Xie, Lady Lu, I have been a bad father and raised a daughter that caused you trouble. I am going to bring her home right away.”

Zhao Hehua started to cry again and screamed, “Father, I don’t want to marry Lu Daniu! I don’t want to! I want to marry…”

Before she could finish, officer Zhao outcried, “Shut up! I will hit you if you keep this up!”

Zhao Hehua was frightened and stared at officer Zhao in disbelief. Officer Zhao once again said, “If you continue to speak nonsense like this, I will hit you, you unfilial daughter.”

Zhao Hehua wailed, “Are you really my father? How can you treat me like this?”

Officer Zhao’s expression was ugly as he responded, “You’re right. I’m not your father. Your father died a long time ago. If I knew the kind of person you would turn out to be, I never would’ve adopted you.”

Officer Zhao was truly regretful now. Back then, Zhao Hehua’s father was an enforcer like him. During a job, he accidentally lost his footing and fell off a cliff. His wife immediately escaped their home with all their money. Out of the goodness of his heart, officer Zhao adopted Zhao Hehua and changed her last name.

This girl, however, took after her mother. Not only was she eager to compare to others, but she was also very lazy and refused to work. She would stay home all day and fantasize about her life. As an adult, she rejected every person they picked out for her. And now, she had her eyes on Xie Yunjin, who was already married.

Officer Zhao was too ashamed to see anyone at this point. So he decided to straight up tell Zhao Hehua that he owed her nothing.

Zhao Hehua was stunned, “Dad, what are you talking about?”

“Your real father died a long time ago and your mother ran away. I adopted you because you were pitiful. My family doesn’t owe you anything anymore. All you ever did was take advantage of your mother, brother, and sister. You act arrogant and I thought you would get better once you married. Instead, you’ve only gotten worse.

If you are grateful that we raised you, please stop causing scenes and marry Lu Daniu.”

Officer Zhao then turned to Xie Yunjin and Lu Jiao shamefully, “Please don’t worry, I will marry her off quickly so she will stop causing you trouble.”

He then tried to pull Zhao Hehua up and take her away.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Hehua screamed shrilly and ran away.

Officer Zhao chased after her. Though they weren’t biologically related, he raised her all these years. He wanted her to get married and settle down.

Behind her, Xie Yunjin and Lu Jiao exchanged astonished glances. Lu Jiao was almost speechless, “I was wondering why Lady Xu’s eldest daughter was so different from her and her other children. I didn’t think it was because they weren’t related. No wonder.”

Xie Yunjin didn’t want to deal with this and simply said, “You should go take a nap.”

Lu Jiao nodded and got up to leave with Feng Zhi. Behind her, Xie Yunjin wanted to walk her back but he stopped himself in case it alarmed Lu Jiao.

Lu Jiao and Feng Zhi headed to the back courtyard. On the way there, Feng Zhi happily commented, “That’s great news. Zhao Hehua is getting married soon and she’ll have to give up on master soon.”

Lu Jiao saw how anxious Feng Zhi was, laughed, and pinched her cheeks, “You should worry about this kind of stuff less.”

Feng Zhi was embarrassed, “Ma’am, I worry because I care about you.”

“Yes, yes, it’s all for me. I thank you.”

The two chatted and laughed as they headed back. In the back courtyard, the four little ones were already napping. Lu Jiao went to nap as well after a few exchanges with Lu Gui.

After the nap, Lu Jiao and Feng Zhi dressed up as men and headed to Baohe Tang.

She needed to follow up with the patient who had his arm reattached. Zhao Lingfeng paid her a whopping 5,000 taels of silver for it. She had to make sure the surgery was a success.

When Lu Jiao arrived, Zhao Lingfeng and Qi Lei were overjoyed.

“Lady Lu, the person Mo Bei brought yesterday, woke up.”

Lu Jiao nodded and followed Zhao Lingfeng and Qi Lei to the back room. The new Baohe Tang designed some private rooms for patients to sleep in.

As the group walked, they shared some news about Liang Ziwen.

“The Liang family took Liang Ziwen home to rest. We aren’t sure how he is doing. I doubt they’ll need us in the future though since they have lots of on-call doctors.”

Lu Jiao nodded and her lips pursed. It was great that he wasn’t around. Plus, what use were having doctors around? Her high dosage of antibiotics won’t be detected until a lot later.

Lu Jiao stopped worrying and went into the patient’s room.

Inside, Mo Bei was having a conversation with the patient.

Lu Jiao’s eyes darkened a little when she saw Mo Bei. Mo Bei’s boss must be very influential and the person he made Mo Bei bring here must also be some character. Or else there would be no need for Mo Bei to personally make the trip.

Lu Jiao pretended she didn’t realize this. After all, she wasn’t interested in getting involved in other people’s businesses.

When Lu Jiao showed up, Mo Bei made the introduction, “This is…”
