After emptying her family's fortune, the pampered young lady went to join the army while heavil

Chapter 35 The spoiled brat obtained a priceless treasure
Qiao Nian naturally had her reasons.

"Everyone else has a ten-month pregnancy, but mine is five years and ten months..."

The thought terrified her.

Her hand rested on her protruding belly, trembling slightly.

Lu Xiao was startled by her rich imagination, but he quickly came to his senses.

"will not."

"Didn't Master say that everything is normal?"

He tried to comfort Qiao Nian.

Qiao Nian's eyes were a little red, "Lu Xiao..."

"Don't worry, everything will be alright. Don't overthink it."

He leaned down and kissed her forehead. "How could our Niannian, who is so beautiful and lovely, possibly give birth to a monster?"

“My main concern is that they inherited your genes.”

Qiao Nian had a long face and was still not optimistic.

Lu Xiao...

Weren't you worried about the baby in your belly? How did it turn into teasing him/her?

But what's wrong with a pregnant woman being a little pampered?
Everything is his fault.

"No, Niannian's genes are very strong. You have to believe in yourself. Your child will definitely inherit your genes."

"Too."

Qiao Nian thought Lu Xiao's words made sense.

But then she added, "What if neither of the children looks like you? Would you suspect that I'm cheating on you and making you a cuckold?"

Lu Xiao...

His baby seems to have an overactive imagination.

"Did Niannian cheat on you?"

Lu Xiao gave a forced smile.

Qiao Nian grumbled, "Want to steal it? Five years have passed since I woke up, and I still haven't had a chance..."

Before she could finish speaking, her lips were sealed by his rough lips, which rubbed against hers, causing her to punch Lu Xiao several times in pain.

"Abominable."

"Stingy."

.........

After the couple bickered for a while, Qiao Nian became unsteady on her feet and leaned weakly into Lu Xiao's arms.

At this moment, her eyes were misty with tears, and she lacked the energy she had shown earlier when she was lost in thought.

"Lu Xiao."

"Ok?"

The man wasn't much better off; his voice was terribly hoarse.

My body was tense, stiff, and very uncomfortable.

Qiao Nian grumbled and complained, clearly showing her disdain.

"Let's treat our master and the others better from now on, and treat them like our parents, caring for them in their old age and seeing them off in their final days, okay?"

"it is good."

"Don't you feel that the pressure is too much?"

Qiao Nian looked up at Lu Xiao with curiosity, "You're just a deputy regimental commander now, your monthly allowance is only a hundred yuan or so. You have to support your wife and children, your parents-in-law, your master, your master's wife..."

She counted on her fingers for Lu Xiao, averaging out his monthly allowance of 120 yuan.

There were eight people, and each person could only get a little over ten yuan.

More than ten yuan!
Qiao Nian was so startled that she jumped out of Lu Xiao's arms.

"So little money, so poor."

"We have never been so poor."

The little girl looked melancholy.

Lu Xiao was both amused and annoyed. Ignoring her objections, he pulled her into his arms again. "Don't worry, I won't let this pampered little thing go hungry."

"I don't eat food that's too bad."

Qiao Nian emphasized in her arms.

Lu Xiao's smile widened. "Okay, okay, I understand."

"My husband will definitely do his best to take good care of our pampered little one."

"That's pretty much it."

Qiao Nian was satisfied.

But the next second, she got annoyed again, "I'm not a spoiled brat."

"Well, I am."

Lu Xiao felt no psychological burden whatsoever.

Qiao Nian pouted, deciding not to argue with him.

The couple talked for a while longer, and then they heard Li Ruihua and the others outside.

The two felt it wouldn't be right to stay in the room any longer, so they quickly got up, tidied their clothes, and left. Li Ruihua had come to deliver something to Qiao Nian.

He sent over a small box.

Qiao Nian quickly stepped forward and led her master inside to warm him by the fire.

Go and pick up the box yourself.

Li Ruihua sat down, and Lu Xiao went to make him some brown sugar water.

He quickly waved his hand, "No need to trouble yourself, no need."

"Master, please don't stand on ceremony with us."

Qiao Nian spoke up, "You taught me everything you've learned in your life, so we should treat you and your teacher's wife well."

Qiao Guowen and Nian Yunci, who were standing to the side, nodded repeatedly.

I agree with what my daughter said.

Li Ruihua sighed and stopped dwelling on these matters.

"Niannian, open the box."

"There are two notebooks inside, one written by me and one written by my grandfather, as well as a few old books that my grandfather gave me."

Qiao Nian opened the box as instructed by her master.

The first thing I saw was a notebook with a leather cover, which looked quite old.

She solemnly picked up the notebook; the heavy notes contained all of her master's lifelong learning.

Qiao Nian felt that the notebook in her hand was very heavy.

In her hands was not a notebook, but the life experiences of an elderly woman who was obsessed with traditional Chinese medicine.

"These are my notes, which record some difficult problems I've encountered and their solutions."

"The following are my grandfather's notes."

"Besides my grandfather's notes, the Yellow Emperor's Inner Classic, the Difficult Classic, the Treatise on Febrile and Miscellaneous Diseases, the Shennong's Classic of Materia Medica, and the Prescriptions Worth a Thousand Pieces of Gold for Emergency Use were all books that my grandfather passed down to me."

The books are all original copies passed down from ancient times.

Besides the books mentioned above, there is a hidden compartment at the very bottom of the box.

Li Ruihua asked Qiao Nian to open the hidden compartment.

Following her master's instructions, Qiao Nian opened the hidden compartment.

In the hidden compartment, there was a parchment scroll.

“These are the silver needles my grandfather used to use. He told me that they were passed down to him by a descendant of Bian Que, but I don’t know if that’s true.”

There are twenty-nine silver needles.

Not much.

However, each one is well preserved, and they don't look like they've been hidden underground for many years without ever seeing the light of day.

Back then, when Li Ruihua was overthrown, he didn't even take the priceless antiques from his home.

The only thing I took with me was this small box.

Now he has passed on the box that he risked his life to protect to his only apprentice.

I don't care about her future, I just hope this can help her.

Qiao Nian read through all the historically significant books and silver needles before carefully putting them back.

He stood up, walked to the side, and solemnly knelt down.

"Please rest assured, Master, I will definitely carry forward and promote traditional Chinese medicine!"

She would never allow something that had been passed down for several years to be lost or disgraced by her.

Li Ruihua's eyes welled up with tears again.

Qiao Guowen and Nian Yunci, who were standing to the side, also had tears in their eyes.

Li Ruihua stepped forward and helped Qiao Nian up.

"it is good."

"it is good."

"it is good!"

"With these words from Niannian, even if Master dies now, he can rest in peace."

Over the years, Li Ruihua has suffered from hunger, cold, and hardship, and has been on the verge of death many times.

He considered taking his own life like some of his old friends, but then he thought of the days when he learned medicine from his grandfather since he was a child. He was unwilling and reluctant to end his life like that.

Now, he finally has a successor.

Even if he dies, he can at least face his grandfather with a clear conscience.

"Master, please don't say that."

Lu Xiao handed the brown sugar water to Li Ruihua and helped Qiao Nian sit down to the side.

"Niannian has just started learning from you and still needs your guidance in many areas. You should take good care of yourself."

Qiao Guowen and Nian Yunci also quickly chimed in.

"Yes, Brother Li, you must live well."

"When Niannian becomes successful in the future, let her take good care of you."
