After the divorce, I was adorned in a phoenix robe, while my ex-husband's entire family dug up

"Your Excellency, please rest assured, once Madam Tang is in my care, she will definitely recover completely."

Wei Jiaruo was confident.

Seeing that Zhang Xiang remained silent, Lu Zhufeng immediately declared, "Rest assured, even if we cure Madam Tang, we will not tolerate the punishment that Wei Zhaoning deserves. There is no question of making amends for past mistakes."

If you do something wrong, you must be punished.

Zhang Xiang: "Is that so? Such a noble quality of separating public and private matters makes me think more highly of you."

Upon hearing this, Lu Zhufeng raised his eyebrows and felt overjoyed; the Prime Minister had appreciated him.

"That's right, that's the family tradition of our Marquis's mansion. We clearly distinguish between public and private matters, and we punish mistakes. That's how my mother taught us from a young age," Lu Ze immediately stepped forward to boast.

Lu Jieyue and Lu Jieshuang echoed this sentiment.

Unexpectedly, the next moment, Madam Tang slowly woke up.

When Wei Jiaruo turned her head and saw that Madam Tang had opened her eyes, she was so startled that she almost fell down.

"How dare you curse me?" Madam Tang spoke swiftly and decisively.

Looking at Zhang Xiang's expression, there was not a trace of surprise.

She panicked instantly.

"I......"

Lu Ze clapped his hands and exclaimed, "Sister-in-law! You're a miracle doctor! With such a serious illness, Madam Tang woke up as soon as you arrived!"

The old lady was also somewhat surprised, not expecting that Wei Jiaruo really had this ability.

Zhang Xiang's face showed displeasure: "My wife woke up yesterday, yet you say she won't wake up? What kind of quack doctor is this! He can't even take her pulse! Keep him here!"

Everyone's faces turned ashen as they stared at Wei Jiaruo in astonishment.

At this moment, Wei Zhaoning brought over a bowl of medicine and carefully sat down by the bed to feed it to Madam Tang.

Madam Tang's expression softened somewhat: "Ningning, you're very thoughtful."

Wei Jiaruo was held down by the servants, looking at everything in front of her in disbelief. Everyone in the Marquis's mansion retreated far away, including Lu Zhufeng.

"etc!"

"Your Excellency! Although Madam Tang has awakened, she still looks pale and weak. Her illness must not have been fully cured yet?"

She pulled a medicine bottle from her bosom, inside which was a brown, bean-sized pill.

"Eat this! It will cure all diseases!"

Wei Zhaoning examined the pill carefully; so that's what it was made of.

Zhang Xiang paused, then waved his hand, signaling the servants to leave.

Seeing that there was hope, Wei Jiaruo felt a little more at ease.

"Your Excellency, if you don't believe me, look at my leg! I was trampled by a horse and broke my tendon in front of everyone that day. The doctors all said there was nothing they could do and that I would be crippled."

But I used my own skills to heal my leg, and now I can walk again!

Zhang Xiang was somewhat moved.

Wei Zhaoning said, "Uncle Zhang, if we can really cure Madam Tang's illness in one go, that would be the best thing."

"Why don't we have a doctor examine it to see what's special about this pill and whether it's safe to take?"

"Someone, fetch the physician," Zhang Xiang ordered.

"Go ahead and have someone test it. This is my exclusive secret formula. As long as it can cure Madam Tang, I'm not afraid to reveal it." Wei Jiaruo became even more confident.

Everyone in the Marquis's mansion was in a state of panic. If Wei Jiaruo failed, none of them would gain anything.

However, seeing Wei Jiaruo's leg, which she had healed herself, everyone chose to trust her one more time.

Soon, an elderly man with gray hair arrived.

Some people were puzzled, as they had never seen such a person in the Imperial Hospital before.

Is it really alright for the Prime Minister to allow such a quack doctor to treat Madam Tang?

"Uncle Cen," Wei Zhaoning greeted him.

Cen Li's hair and beard were all white, but they were neatly combed. His plain robe gave him a clean and neat appearance. Although he was nearly seventy years old, his eyes were still bright. His every move was full of the composure and gentleness of a doctor who had practiced medicine for half his life.

"Please trouble Physician Cen to take a look at what this pill is," the Prime Minister said respectfully.

Lu Zhufeng couldn't help but wonder, what was the background of this wandering doctor? Even the Prime Minister treated him with such respect.

Cen Li took the pill, examined it carefully, and smelled it closely.

"The cornmeal balls are nothing special."

Wei Jiaruo's face drained of color. "How is that possible?! Do you even understand? If it really was a cornmeal ball, how could my leg have gotten better?"

The expressions on Zhang Xiang and Madam Tang's faces were already quite intriguing.

Lu Zhufeng stepped forward to explain.

"Old doctor, please take another look. My wife is indeed skilled; she would never use such a thing to deceive anyone."

"Ten years ago, in that shocking murder case that rocked the capital, the victim was saved by my wife. It is said that the man was already on the verge of death when he met my wife and was saved."

Furthermore, she healed her leg herself; these are irrefutable pieces of evidence.

Cen Li's eyes flashed, and his brows furrowed.

"This lady said that you were the one who saved that man ten years ago?"

Wei Jiaruo's brow twitched, but she forced a smile and said, "Of course it's me!"

Wei Zhaoning smiled and said, "Little sister, really? Think it over before you speak."

"What are you trying to get me to say? If I didn't save her, then who did? Did anyone see it?"

"Don't try to steal my credit. Don't think I don't know you can't even do medicine. Who would believe that if word got out?"

Wei Jiaruo's body trembled slightly, and her tone became increasingly sharp.

She had lost her former pitiful appearance and now had the air of a shrew.

Wei Zhaoning smiled and spread her hands, "Sister, you've misunderstood. I've never admitted that I saved that man."

At this moment, Cen Li took out strips of cloth and needle and thread.

"Madam, the man's wound was extremely large. It is said that a very strange suturing method was used to stitch the wound and save his life."

Since you sewed it, please demonstrate it again.

Wei Jiaruo's hands trembled. "Who are you? Why should I demonstrate for you?"

"Wei Zhaoning, no matter how much you hate me, there's no need to use Madam Tang's matter to make a fuss, is there?"

You bribed some mediocre physician from who-knows-where to spout nonsense in front of the Prime Minister, isn't it just to prevent me from showcasing my talents?

Zhang Xiang could no longer bear it and slammed his fist on the table.

"presumptuous!"

"You want to know who this doctor is? Well, I'll let you die knowing!"

"This is Cen Li, the doctor who saved that man ten years ago!"

The sound reached Wei Jiaruo's ears like a thunderclap. She swallowed hard, speechless for a moment.

Everyone was shocked by these words.

Cen Li was a true miracle doctor; even the emperor had to show him respect.

He has vanished without a trace over the years, and few people know his whereabouts.

Wei Zhaoning said, "Sister, ten years ago, Uncle Cen didn't want anyone to know his whereabouts, so he asked me to act in a play with him so that the man would think that I had saved him."

"I never expected you to claim credit for this and spread it around. Now, everyone in the capital thinks that it was you who saved that man."

The Lu family couldn't believe their ears, especially Lu Zhufeng, whose fingers trembled as he pointed at Wei Jiaruo, his expression one of disappointment and sadness.

"Jia Ruo, you..."
