319 Confrontation
“You don’t have to be so humble. The fact that she saved my and Song Tao’s life is very impressive.
However, there’s something I’m really curious about.
You kept saying that your wife is a country bumpkin, but in that case, where did she learn her superb medical skills from?
If she’s really a country bumpkin, it’s probably very difficult for her to have such an opportunity, right?”
!!The fourth prince looked at Lu Ze curiously. For some reason, he felt that he had really seen the person in front of him somewhere before and felt a sense of familiarity with him.
Of course, what made him so uncomfortable wasn’t this familiarity, but the fact that every time he interacted with this man, he always felt a sense of pressure from him. This feeling…
“There are many capable people in the countryside. She was just lucky and obtained some opportunities when she was young.” Lu Ze lowered his eyes and explained calmly, “She was lucky enough to study with her mentor for a few years, so she gained some understanding.
As for these two incidents, Your Highness and Mr. Pei just got lucky. She’s not that capable.”
As the fourth prince looked at the calm Lu Ze, he sighed after a while and said, “I’m afraid it’s not that simple! I’ve asked the accompanying medical officers. Song Tao’s injuries are not something ordinary people can treat.
“Despite being a woman, your wife was very calm when dealing with such bloody injuries. She was even calmer and more experienced than those old military doctors who were used to seeing these injuries.”
“Your Highness, it’s not rare to see such injuries in the countryside.” Lu Ze wasn’t surprised that the fourth prince would be puzzled and he gave a flawless response. “During the busy farming season, farming tools might accidentally injure one’s arms and thighs, the cattle might go crazy and bite people’s bodies, and wild animals might come down from the mountains to hurt people…
“Those accidents are no less common in the rural mountains than on the battlefield. Sometimes, they’re even more tragic.”
At this point, Lu Ze saw that the fourth prince’s face had turned pale and he couldn’t help but pause for a moment before continuing, “For example, the incident that left the deepest impression on me was when a farming ox raised by a family became frightened. Its horns pierced through the unlucky person’s abdomen and it even dragged that person along with it as it ran a few kilometers.
Tsk tsk, Your Highness has probably never seen that sort of scene before. Not only was there blood everywhere, but even his organs were scattered on the ground.
When my wife was invited over, the victim was already on his last breath.”
Hearing Lu Ze’s words, the fourth prince, who was disgusted, couldn’t help but be interested. He looked at Lu Ze curiously and expectantly as he couldn’t help but ask, “Could it be that Madam Liu saved him from such serious injuries?”
“Fourth Prince, you must be joking. With such injuries, even God would have found him difficult to treat. Moreover, my wife is just an ordinary doctor.” Lu Ze smiled at the fourth prince with an aloof expression. “Before my wife could finish checking his pulse, he died.
Because he had died too tragically, many people who witnessed his death had nightmares when they returned at night! Some of the timid ones even fainted on the spot.
My wife felt pity for him, so she did the last thing she could. She stuffed the victim’s organs back and sewed them…”
“Ugh…” The fourth prince couldn’t stand it anymore and he retched with a pale face. Then, he covered his mouth and raised his hand to stop Lu Ze. “That’s enough. Stop talking!”
“Your Highness, it’s inevitable for doctors to encounter these sorts of things, just like how as generals, it’s inevitable for us to kill people and encounter corpses.” Lu Ze’s expression didn’t change when he saw the fourth prince’s loss of composure. He only smiled at him and said, “Therefore, be it your condition or Mr. Pei’s injuries, they’re nothing to my wife.”
“Speaking of which, I’m really curious.” The fourth prince took a long time to suppress his disgust. Then, he looked up at Lu Ze and said coldly after a long time, “You’re no longer a hunter from the countryside. Now, you’re General Wei Bei, so why does Madam Liu still have to show her face around outside?”
Since the fourth prince was concerned about Lin Suisui, someone would definitely pass Lin Suisui’s news to him.
This way, they naturally couldn’t hide the fact that Lin Suisui wanted to open a medical center and was recruiting medical assistants.
The fourth prince was interested in Lin Suisui because, firstly, she resembled someone he knew, making it difficult for him to ignore her. Secondly, it was because of her outstanding medical skills.
With such a brilliant doctor by his side, at least his safety would be guaranteed!
Moreover, his father and the empress dowager’s health were deteriorating day by day. If there was such a brilliant doctor to help them, it would naturally be easier for him to gain the favor of the two elders in the palace.
However, although the fourth prince valued Lin Suisui’s medical skills, it didn’t mean that he could accept Lin Suisui opening a medical center outside without caring about her reputation and taking the pulse of ordinary people.
How could that be appropriate?!
Originally, the fourth prince felt that there was no problem with his thoughts, but Gu Erlang didn’t seem to care at all…
“Your Highness, you might not know about this, but opening Rejuvenation Hall wasn’t my wife’s idea, but Mr. Pei’s.” Lu Ze didn’t explain further. Instead, he pushed the blame to Pei Qian, who was still recuperating in the residence.
Mr. Pei couldn’t defend himself now, so Lu Ze could say whatever he wanted at the moment. “I believe Mr. Pei has already mentioned the current predicament in the north.
It had to be said that General Gao’s inappropriate actions caused all this subsequent trouble.
Currently, there’s a shortage of military medical officers in the army, and the families of those who’ve lost their fathers, brothers, and husbands are complaining because they haven’t been able to receive compensation. If this continues, someone might take advantage of this opportunity to ruin your future.
Therefore, Mr. Pei thought of the method of using this medical center to improve Your Highness’ reputation.
The doctors in this medical center are all former military doctors who had been wronged previously. There is also appropriate compensation for those families who are struggling. Mr. Pei was a little worried about leaving this kind of thing to others, so after he weighed the pros and cons, he entrusted the task to my wife.”
