You've already caught the embroidered ball, and you still say it's not my husband?

A gentle breeze rustled through the branches and leaves.

Lu Xuan didn't know what to say or how to begin.

Fortunately, only Su Qingwan and her maid came to visit; otherwise, if Madam Su and Master Su had also come, it would have given Lu Xuan an even bigger headache.

Su Qingwan noticed Lu Xuan's awkwardness, so she smiled and spoke first to break the awkward atmosphere.

"Qingwan was harmed by a villain and fell seriously ill. Fortunately, Doctor Lu saved her life... Doctor Lu left in a hurry yesterday, and the Su family did not have time to entertain him. Today, Qingwan has come to express her gratitude..."

Su Qingwan was a well-educated, understanding, and sensible young lady from a prominent family, and she spoke with propriety.

"Miss Su, you flatter me. It was just my duty," Lu Xuan replied politely.

"Dr. Lu is being too polite."

Su Qingwan chuckled and waved to the maid beside her.

The maid Xi'er immediately understood and placed the exquisite lunchbox she had been carrying on the stone table. She gently opened the lid, and a delicate fragrance immediately wafted out!

It's a box of shortbread!

There weren't many, only four in total, but each pastry was exquisitely made and had a wonderful aroma.

"Hehe, these are lotus seed paste pastries that my young lady specially made for Doctor Lu. Please enjoy them~" Xi'er said with a smile.

Su Qingwan was thinking about how to thank Lu Xuan yesterday.

Giving gold and silver? That's too vulgar and too distant. Lu Xuan isn't a greedy person.

Sending him writing brushes, ink, paper, inkstones, poems, books, and famous paintings? Lu Xuan is a doctor, not a scholar or a literary talent; something too refined wouldn't be appropriate.

……

After thinking it over and over, I still couldn't find anything quite suitable.

Finally, Su Qingwan felt that to truly thank someone, the gift should not be expensive, but rather convey the sentiment.

Before dawn today, despite Madam Su's strong objections, she went to the kitchen and, using the best ingredients (such as precious lotus seeds from Ailian Lake in Yunzhou City), wholeheartedly made this box of lotus seed paste pastries.

All things considered, this box of pastries isn't particularly valuable, but it contains a young girl's most sincere feelings...

"Oh, I see!"

Lu Qingqing had been listening the whole time, and she seemed to have understood.

The young lady in front of me is the eldest daughter of the "Su's Paper Industry" in Yunzhou City. Lu Xuan went to Yunzhou City yesterday and cured her illness, so she specially brought a box of shortbread to thank me today. That's about it!

Actually... Lu Qingqing prefers silver, because she is thinking of saving up betrothal gifts for Lu Xuan, possibly more than one set, but several sets.

"Dr. Lu, please try my pastries." Su Qingwan looked at Lu Xuan with gentle eyes, a tender smile always on her face.

"it is good."

Lu Xuan nodded, took one, put it in his mouth, and took a bite.

Unlike ordinary shortbread, this one tastes really good!

"The pastry is crispy and the filling is fragrant and delicious. Miss Su, you have excellent skills!" Lu Xuan praised sincerely.

Receiving Lu Xuan's positive feedback, Su Qingwan's smile deepened, and her voice softened even more: "I'm glad Doctor Lu likes it..."

The young girl seemed to have a strange feeling about the man who had caught her embroidered ball but then ran away from the wedding.

"Sister Lu, Xiao Tongtong, you should try some too."

She picked up another lotus seed paste pastry and placed it in the little girl's palm. The little girl immediately beamed with joy.

Ah!

She opened her mouth and took a bite, finding it delicious and making her feel so happy!

She didn't forget to say in her childish voice, "Thank you... Auntie."

With a snap, Lu Qingqing covered her face and sighed.

Why is Tongtong being so disobedient today? She keeps calling other girls "auntie"!

It's only because Miss Su is so kind and doesn't hold grudges that she's like this; if it were any other woman... she would definitely offend someone.

There were four lotus seed paste pastries in total. My brother-in-law, Li Du, was cooking in the kitchen and didn't want any, so he gave them to Tongtong, and Tongtong ended up with two.

After finishing one, the little girl smacked her lips and remembered that there was a donkey in the corner of the courtyard wall, drooling and staring at her.

He thought of giving one to the donkey as well, but Lu Qingqing pulled him back.

"How dare a stupid donkey eat such good food? Keep it for yourself."

Bao Bulu, whose mouth was watering, was dumbfounded.

I almost cried!

What do you mean donkeys don't deserve to eat good food? Is there such discrimination against donkeys?

Excessive!

It wanted to protest, but dared not utter "No, no," fearing that if Lu Qingqing knew it was a spirit donkey, she would persuade Lu Xuan to kill or sell it.

The little donkey had a bitter heart but couldn't express it, sobbing.

"Little Xuanzi! Is Little Xuanzi here?!"

Suddenly someone outside the door called out anxiously.

Lu Xuan, Lu Qingqing, and Su Qingwan all turned to look outside the courtyard gate.

The courtyard gate was ajar, and before Lu Xuan and Lu Qingqing could respond, an old woman with mostly white hair rushed in.

She was holding a five or six-year-old boy in her arms. The boy's face was swollen and red, like a... pig's head.

It makes you want to laugh, but it's not the right time to laugh.

"Little Xuanzi, you're here! That's wonderful!"

When the old woman saw Lu Xuan, it was like seeing a lifeline, and her anxious expression eased slightly.

She rushed to Lu Xuan's side, clutching the child, and pleaded, "This is my grandson, Xiao Bao. He was naughty and disturbed a nest of wasps by the roadside, and then he got stung like this. Xiao Xuan... Doctor Lu! Please, you must save Xiao Bao!"

"I kowtow to you!"

This old woman is Aunt Lin, Lu Xuan's next-door neighbor. When they were children, Aunt Lin would often invite Lu Xuan and Lu Qingqing to her house for meals during festivals because she saw that the place was deserted. She was a very nice person.

Now her mischievous grandson has disturbed a hornet's nest and been stung dozens of times. A large amount of venom has entered his body, his face is swollen beyond recognition, his breathing is weak, and his life is in imminent danger!

She heard that Lu Xuan was a doctor with the ability to heal the sick and save lives, so she rushed over in a panic. She even wanted to kowtow to Lu Xuan, begging him to do his best to save her precious grandson.

"Oh dear, Aunt Lin, there's no need for that." Lu Xuan quickly helped Aunt Lin up.

They're all neighbors, and I took care of them a little when they were young, so there's no need for such a grand ceremony.

Moreover, as a good young man of the new era, Lu Xuan has never had the habit of being worshipped.

He glanced at the barely breathing boy and smiled, "Don't worry, Aunt Lin, Xiao Bao can still be saved."

These words were like a shot of adrenaline, instantly calming down the flustered old lady Lin considerably, and she wanted to kowtow to Lu Xuan again.

"Sister, could you help Aunt Lin up?"

Helpless, Lu Xuan asked Lu Qingqing to help the old neighbor.

Then, he took out the medicine box, his expression becoming serious and focused.

He took out nine silver needles from his medicine box and inserted them into the boy's swollen face with exquisite skill.

The silver needles quickly turned from white to black, and in less than the time it takes to drink half a cup of tea, they completely absorbed the toxins from the boy's body!

The boy's face, which was originally swollen like a pig's head, visibly subsided and gradually returned to its original appearance.

It shocked everyone!

"My God, Xiao Xuanzi's medical skills are so amazing?!"

Lu Qingqing, Lu Xuan's older sister, was always thinking about finding him a wife. She had heard some people say that Lu Xuan was a good doctor and could cure diseases with medicine, but this was the first time she had ever witnessed Lu Xuan treating someone. The result was far beyond her expectations!

Although she didn't know anything about medicine, she could tell that the boy's condition was extremely bad. If it were any other doctor facing this situation, they probably wouldn't be able to save him.

Even if some renowned doctors could save the boy, it would be absolutely impossible for them to do it as easily and quickly as Lu Xuan!

All I can say is that Lu Xuan's medical skills are terrifyingly good!

Su Qingwan had been watching Lu Xuan intently the whole time, and she also felt that Lu Xuan's medical skills were too superb, far surpassing the famous doctors in Yunzhou City.

She couldn't help but think that yesterday, Lu Xuan had used silver needles to expel the dark evil energy from her body and then saved her, right?

Perhaps it's the combination of a serious work ethic and a handsome face that makes a man so charming and attractive, that the young girl stared at him in a daze, completely mesmerized!

After Lu Xuan used silver needles to draw out the toxins from the boy's face, he took out a bottle of "anti-swelling and analgesic tincture" made with his own unique formula from the medicine box and sprayed it on the boy's face a few times.

"Alright, Xiao Bao is fine now."

After the treatment, Lu Xuan handed the boy back to Aunt Lin.

A system voice sounded.

[Ding! Host has successfully cured the patient and saved lives. Cultivation points +99]

The simple white and green orders are automatically accepted and completed by Lu Xuan after he treats and saves people. He received a reward of 99 cultivation points for treating the boy this time.

Even the smallest mosquito leg is still meat!

Saving a life is an act of immeasurable merit!

I don't mind!
