Chapter 348 People Seeking Medical Treatment

Su Zui had already discussed it with Lu Yaoyao; the prosthetic limbs would only be made for his people.

In his purgatory, there were also many subordinates who were missing limbs.

Lu Yaoyao liked gold, so he gave her all his gold and bought out all her prosthetic limbs.

a few days later.

"Huh? What's this?" Lu Yaoyao went to the ruins of the artificial hill.

After Qiu Liang and the others left, the artificial hill became ruins, and leaving it in a mess in the courtyard was not a solution.

Lu Yaoyao thought about cleaning up the ruins of the artificial mountain and building a new one.

Su Zui was cleaning up the ruins when she heard her words and came over.

"It looks like a box."

Su Zui took out a dagger and began to dig.

The box was hidden inside a rock, clearly intentionally sealed inside.

When the box was taken out, the patterns on it still looked brand new.

Lu Yaoyao opened the box. "Is this a jade pendant?"

Su Zui took the jade pendant and looked at the patterns on it, muttering to himself, "Where do I feel like I've seen the patterns on this jade pendant before?"

"There's another letter." Lu Yaoyao picked up the letter and opened it.

The handwriting on the letter clearly belonged to a woman; it was a letter asking Lu Zhannian to help treat her illness.

Lu Zhannian is Lu Yaoyao's father.

"Judging from the contents of the letter, that woman must be very familiar with your father." Su Zui could tell from the tone of the letter that their relationship must be unusual.

"It's just a letter asking for help, why would Father keep it?" Lu Yaoyao asked, puzzled.

Even if the two people speak in a familiar tone, it doesn't necessarily mean anything.

Perhaps it was an old friend of my father's who wanted him to treat someone's illness.

"Look at the date on this letter." Su Zui noticed something fishy.

Lu Yaoyao looked at the signature and asked, "Was this my first birthday?"

Su Zui nodded. "Your father has kept this letter carefully. It can't be that simple. Also, I've examined this jade pendant closely. It's a jade pendant from the Duke of Jiang's mansion. I've seen it worn by the direct descendants of the Duke of Jiang's mansion."

He said, "Why do the patterns on this jade pendant look so familiar?"

The Duke of Jiang's mansion was once a first-rank noble family, and its title was passed down through generations thanks to the blessings of its ancestors.

The current Duke of Jiang has no real ability; he relies on the glory of his ancestors to inherit the last ducal title.

The title of Duke of Jiang has now been passed down for three generations. If no one in this generation can make any achievements in the court, the court will revoke the hereditary title of Duke of Jiang.

In the current Jiang State Duke's mansion, none of the children are any good. The only legitimate son, Jiang Jinrui, is a spoiled brat who spends his days indulging in pleasure.

As the person in charge of the Southern Supervisory Office, overseeing all officials, he naturally had dealings with Jiang Jinrui.

That was truly a worthless thing, yet the Duke and his wife doted on this legitimate son.

He always wore a jade pendant like this on his waist. I heard that he also had a younger sister, Jiang Ruyan, who also had a jade pendant like this on her waist.

"The Duke of Jiang's mansion?" Lu Yaoyao fell into deep thought.

If only her divine eyes could be opened, she could see what this jade pendant is all about.

Currently, the Five Elements Technique has only broken one layer of the seal, which is insufficient to allow her to open her Divine Eye.

But why does my father have a piece of this jade pendant from the Duke of Jiang's mansion?
“There’s another layer in this box.” Su Zui tapped the box.

The bottom of the box is hollow.

Su Zui used a dagger to cut open the bottom layer, and sure enough, a small cloth bag was revealed.

"what is this?"

Inside the small cloth bag was a small bottle, the contents of which were unknown.

Lu Yaoyao opened the bottle, and a foul stench wafted out.

vomit!
vomit!
The two of them vomited immediately. After Lu Yaoyao had vomited enough, she said, "This is the Life-Swapping Gu! It was just killed, which is why it stank inside."

"Life-Swapping Gu? What does that mean?" Su Zui was quite knowledgeable and knew that there were Gu in Miao territory, but this was the first time he had heard of Life-Swapping Gu.

Lu Yaoyao said, "Why do you think I'm so ugly? It's because someone switched my life."

"The life-swapping Gu here has been dead for some years; it must have been killed by my father."

Some things still seem very strange to her now.

She was young then and very dependent on her father, always wanting him to play with her.

She knew her father was busy looking through medical books all day, saying he was making a special kind of pill.

The father searched with all his might for the stone heart, which must be to make the special pill he mentioned.

This pill is meant to poison the life-changing Gu, while also ensuring she survives.

"Why does your father possess this life-swapping Gu? Did he use it to save your life?" Su Zui's eyes were filled with murderous intent.

If it really is Lu Zhannian who changed Yao Yao's fate, then he will dig up his bones from the grave and grind them to dust.

Lu Yaoyao shook her head, "It wasn't Father who used the life-swapping Gu. Father would only use his life to save mine!"

Upon seeing the long-dead Gu worm, Lu Yaoyao suddenly realized what was going on.

Now she is completely certain that her father's rapid aging in the following years was because he killed the Life-Swapping Gu and used his own life to save hers.

Su Zui grabbed her hand, "Yaoyao, you've suffered!"

Fortunately, Lu Zhannian was a good person and did not harm Yaoyao.

Why is this girl's life so full of hardship?

She was born with her life changed, her loving father passed away early, and she was divorced after getting married.

Any woman would feel like dying if she were in these circumstances.

Lu Yaoyao didn't say anything more, just stared blankly at the jade pendant in her hand.

Her life was switched; perhaps it has some connection to the Duke of Jiang's mansion.

No matter what, she'll get her life back!

Days passed by, and the end of the year was fast approaching.

A horse-drawn carriage arrived at the gate that day.

"Is this the home of that miracle doctor?" A richly dressed woman stepped down from the carriage.

"Madam, this is the home of that miraculous doctor. It is said that this Dr. Lu can bring the dead back to life and heal the wounded. I believe he can definitely cure Miss's illness." A nanny helped the old lady out of the carriage.

A young woman wearing a veil followed behind.

"Grandmother, shall we go back? We've seen so many doctors but nothing has worked. I don't want to come out and see anyone." Shen Ning tightly gripped the handkerchief in her hand.

Her face was ruined three years ago, and it has grown a lot of hair on it, just like a man's beard.

She consulted many doctors, and even the imperial physicians from the palace came to her home to examine her, but they all said there was no hope.

For the past three years, she has locked herself in her home and refused to see anyone.

Later, her parents felt sorry for her and sent her to her grandmother's house, hoping she could get out and relax.

Grandma Shen held her granddaughter's hand and comforted her, "Don't worry, we can definitely cure you this time. Let's go inside."

Qiu Feng led them in to the living room. "Please wait a moment while I inform my wife."

"Thank you for your trouble," said Madam Shen.

Autumn wind went straight to the backyard.

Upon seeing Lu Yaoyao, he cupped his hands in greeting and said, "Madam, a patient has arrived seeking medical help."

Lu Yaoyao was meditating when she heard the sound and opened her eyes.

She has changed a lot. She has lost weight and looks only slightly plump, the kind of slightly chubby that is just right. Coupled with her stunningly beautiful face, it is easy to make people unable to look away.

She's the kind of woman who's stunning at first glance and grows more beautiful the more you look at her.
