Now that you're reborn, who would still keep a mistress for their scumbag husband?

Doctor Wu held the needle in his hand and looked at Dou Jinzhao eagerly, asking whether the order of acupuncture should be changed.

Dou Jinzhao was silent for a moment. She had no intention of doing good to the people in Duke Dingguo's Mansion, nor did she intend to save the life of the old lady. Even at this moment, when she heard the old lady coughing so hard that her lungs were about to burst, she felt nothing.

However, she could not ignore the admiration and respect in Doctor Wu's eyes, so she nodded, "I think so. I remember that there is a set of acupuncture in Chinese acupuncture that is specifically for Madam's disease. Considering your usual acupuncture treatment, we can consider it together."

Doctor Wu had obviously thought of it as well. His eyes lit up and he slapped his thigh hard, causing the silver needle to pierce into his leg. He screamed in pain, jumped up, and became crazy.

Lu Changyuan came over to stop him, "Doctor Wu, forget about the needles. You've worked hard today!"

Doctor Wu was still in shock. He could almost foresee that after the Madam took his medicine and he used acupuncture, her cough and asthma would be suppressed and she would have a much easier winter.

"Duke, what do you mean by that? Am I the doctor or are you? Madam's illness has been delayed for these days and is already very serious. If you don't use medicine and acupuncture in time, the consequences will be disastrous."

"Doctor Wu, don't worry about this. Come on, show the guest away!" Lu Changyuan said firmly and resolutely that he didn't want Doctor Wu to treat him anymore.

Doctor Wu was eager to verify his treatment plan on the lady. Over the past year, Dou Jinzhao's advice to him had always been very useful, and this time, he also clearly saw the effectiveness of this treatment.

Lu Changyuan didn't give him this opportunity. Doctor Wu was so angry that he almost jumped up. "Duke Dingguo, you personally came to pick me up for treatment. I also wrote the prescription. Now I need to use acupuncture. You want to chase me away. What's the meaning of this?"

Lu Changyuan was also angry, "Doctor Wu, I have told you time and again that my wife can't treat illnesses, but you actually asked her to decide on a treatment plan and even asked her to teach you how to give acupuncture.

Doctor Wu, who is the doctor, you or my wife? Is this how you act as a doctor? You are simply taking human life lightly! "

Doctor Wu was so angry that his beard was shaking. He pointed at Lu Changyuan and said, "Okay, okay, okay! Duke Dingguo, you are really blind! Since you said so, from now on, I will never step into the threshold of your Duke Dingguo's mansion. Don't regret it in the future!"

Lu Changyuan sneered: "Show me away!"

Doctor Wu walked away, but when he passed by Dou Jinzhao, he stopped and saluted.

Dou Jinzhao nodded, "As a doctor, you should pay attention to medical affinity. Doctor Wu doesn't need to take it too seriously!"

Doctor Wu bowed and said, "Madam, take care!"

After saying this, he angrily took the medicine boy and walked out of the door of Xuancao Hall.

In the inner room, the old lady was coughing heart-wrenchingly. Lu Changyuan walked in quickly, feeling anxious, and ordered people to invite more doctors to come and consult with the old lady.

The Madam waved her hand, "You don't have to bother. When you were not at home, the Empress sent many doctors to consult, but in the end they used Doctor Wu's medicine, and it was only after Doctor Wu gave her acupuncture that she got better."

Lu Changyuan was anxious, "But he hasn't cured my mother yet, and we can't keep dragging it on like this."

The lady was almost out of breath. "It's better now than now. Go, go and get Doctor Wu back!"

After saying this, the lady closed her eyes and fainted.

Lu Changyuan did not dare to disobey, but he was also unwilling to kowtow, so he found a compromise and called for someone to boil the medicine according to Doctor Wu's prescription.

The nanny took the prescription and handed it to Lu Changyuan, "Duke, this prescription has been changed. Should we follow the original prescription or the changed one?"

Lu Changyuan glanced back and saw Dou Jinzhao standing at the door, wanting to come in but not wanting to, and seemed very reluctant to serve the patient.

"Prescribe it as before the change." Lu Changyuan thought, "Ephedra" was the prescription changed according to Dou Jinzhao's idea, and he was furious. What did these two people think of his mother?

Dou Jinzhao sat down on a chair and Lu Changyuan sat beside the bed.

The old lady woke up again with a sharp cough. The medicine was ready. The maid brought it to her, but Lu Changyuan didn't take it. He stared at Dou Jinzhao and asked, "Why don't you come and take care of me?"

Dou Jinzhao smiled and stood up. Just as Lu Changyuan thought she was coming to help the lady with her medicine, she walked out and said, "I have also served the sick for a year. Now that the Duke is back, you should show your filial piety. Or, let Sister Miaojin come over!"

"stop!"

Lu Changyuan was a little panicked. He felt that if he let Dou Jinzhao step out of this room, they might never live under the same roof again.

He rushed over, grabbed Dou Jinzhao's wrist, pulled her, and pressed her neck with his arm. Dou Jinzhao's back was against the wall, and her clear phoenix eyes looked at Lu Changyuan coldly, like a magic mirror, illuminating the darkness in Lu Changyuan's heart clearly.

Lu Changyuan felt a surge of irritation in his chest. Something was no longer under his control.

Dou Jinzhao put her other hand between Lu Changyuan's elbow and her neck. She pushed Lu Changyuan away with a little force. Ignoring Lu Changyuan's shock, she flipped her wrist and escaped from Lu Changyuan's palm again.

She calmly tugged at her clothes and shook her sleeves, as if to shake off some dirt.

Lu Changyuan seemed to be under a spell, standing still and unable to move.

The force that pushed him was very strange, flexible and powerful.

He had never heard that Dou Jinzhao knew martial arts.

However, how could ordinary people push him away so easily?

"you……"

Before Lu Changyuan could speak, Dou Jinzhao smiled strangely, "Duke, it would be bad to continue to pester me now!"

Lu Changyuan gnashed his teeth and grabbed her shoulder. His eyes blurred and Dou Jinzhao had already left the room. He heard her voice, "It's late. I'm going back first. Duke, please stay. I won't see you off!"

Looking out of the window, Dou Jinzhao left in a leisurely manner. Her back reminded Lu Changyuan of the stunning glimpse he got of the Rouge Sword on the day he left the city.

This feeling is so strange.

Before he could think about it, the lady started to cough violently again, her voice trembling, "This family... still cannot do without Jin Zhao. Especially... there are important things happening at home these few days, Miao Jin... still can't do it, the household affairs... can't be handed over to her, otherwise... something big will happen!"

Lu Changyuan listened patiently. He was asked to ask Dou Jinzhao to intervene. His face was very grumpy and he was obviously impatient.

The lady sighed, "I hate that my body...is not up to the standard, and I am dragging my son down at this time. But Miao Jin...first of all, she has status, and secondly, she has ability. Look, your sister's dowry, the job she got, can all be used... to make such a big mistake."

Lu Changyuan really didn't want to turn around and ask Dou Jinzhao for help. He intuitively felt that it would only bring humiliation upon himself and would make their relationship worse.

But his mother was worried, so he could only agree for the time being. After leaving the Xuancao Hall courtyard and planning to go to the Osmanthus Courtyard, he saw the lights inside from afar. Lu Changyuan thought of what had happened in the past few days. From the moment he chose Dou Miaojin, he and Dou Jinzhao had been drifting further and further apart.

Dou Miaojin got the news and came over. She stepped forward, hugged Lu Changyuan's arm, and pressed her tall chest on it, "Brother Changyuan, do you want to go find your sister?"

Lu Changyuan pulled his arm out and went to the front yard. "Go back and rest first. You have to get up early tomorrow."

Early in the morning, Dou Miaojin sat in front of the mirror and put on her makeup. It was almost noon. She was too tired in the past few days and got up a little late in the morning.

The courtyard was filled with daughters-in-law and old women waiting for something to happen. Some of them were so anxious that they were getting angry. Today was the day when the eldest daughter was getting married. Firstly, they could not offend anyone when welcoming and seeing off guests, and secondly, the kitchen had to prepare the banquet.

Before, when the Duke married a concubine, he booked a banquet at Changfeng Tower, but he overestimated the number of people who would come, so he booked dozens more tables.

Such a huge waste.

This time when the eldest girl got married, they did not order a banquet from Changfeng Tower. All the food was prepared by the kitchen in the mansion. The sea cucumbers had not been bought yet, and it would take time for them to foam.

A dish of mandarin duck chicken also takes time to prepare, and it has not been put into the pot yet; for the scallops, it would be best to use wild duck, but the ingredients are not ready yet. It would be best to marinate it with Shaoxing wine, but I don’t know when the wine will arrive.

The dishes on the table had all been ordered long ago, and there was no time to change them at the last minute.

"Why are you all here so early in the morning instead of going about your own business?" Dou Miaojin finished dressing up and stood under the eaves, looking at the people in the yard, and said unhappily, "Why, do you want me to act like a mistress and burn firewood for you?"
