Are Both Mothers

The consultation fee? Gongsun Zhongjing, who was almost full, looked up
from his heart. âAre you feeling unwell?â
Xiaoxiao shook her head, and Gongsun Zhongjing looked at Yun San, who had already removed the bandage on his arm. The latter also shook his head and waved his hand to indicate that he was very well.
Pulling Xiao Ran to sit down, Xiaoxiao bowed to Gongsun Zhongjing. âCan you help take a look at my motherâs leg?â n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Xiao Ran was stunned, and Gu Changâan also felt a warm current in his heart. Although Xiao Ranâs leg injury had been treated by the imperial physicians countless times, they were still touched by their daughterâs intentions, so they did not reject this young doctorâs treatment.
They had heard the apology countless times, so the two of them were already mentally prepared.
After carefully asking about the details of the injury and doing some simple checkups, Gongsun Zhongjing said to Xiaoxiao, âIâm only 30% sure after so
long.â
Xiao Ran suspected that there was something wrong with her ears.
Xiaoxiaoâs expression was serious. âIs there a way to improve it?â
Gongsun Zhongjing said, âIf you can learn from me for a period of time, we might be able to improve by 10% if you help me.â
Xiaoxiao agreed without a word. Gongsun Zhongjing frowned and fell into deep thought. Xiaoxiao bowed respectfully to him. âIâm already very grateful that Doctor Gongsun is willing to help. Youâre tired today. Why donât you go back and rest first?â
Gongsun Zhongjingâs mind was filled with how to use the knife on Xiao Ranâs legs. Halfway there, he remembered to ask, âYou have two mothers?
Xiaoxiao chuckled. âThatâs right. My biological mother and adoptive mother are both my mothers.â
As a medical fanatic, Gongsun Zhongjing did not ask further. He yawned and went back to rest. His little medicine page had not seen him for many days and was probably anxious.
Only then did Li Muyan remember to ask, âBy the way, Miss Ning, that Young
Master Zhaoâ¦â
Xiaoxiao guessed that he should already know Rong Yanâs identity. âHeâs the Third Prince of Great Xia. Please forgive him for hiding it previously. Thank you for helping me send the things. How were Young Master Liâs gains on this trip?â
The Li Familyâs caravan was strong, and the bodyguards they hired were also powerful. Hence, they did not encounter any danger on the way. Occasionally, they would encounter robbers, but they were safe.
âTo be honest, I plan to go again in a few days.â
If a businessman wanted benefits, he would go again, which meant that there were benefits to be had. Xiaoxiao smiled as if she had been fooled by Second Brother. âYoung Master Li, I have a business deal, but I lack a partner. Are you interested?â
Xiaoxiao wanted to send things to the border, but be it finding someone to escort her or hiring a caravan escort, they were not as familiar to her as the Li Family. Wouldnât she be stupid not to ask them?
After figuring out the âdealâ that Xiaoxiao was going to do, Li Muyan was amazed. He immediately changed the list of goods that the Li Family had planned to bring to the border.
After the two of them finalized the details of their cooperation, Xiao Ran and Gu Changâan finally came back to their senses from Gongsun Zhongjingâs diagnosis. Xiao Ran rubbed her ears. âI think I heard that young doctor say that my leg can still be treated. Did I hear wrongly?â
Gu Changâan hugged her and was so excited that he could not speak.
No one knew how it felt to see Ranâer, who used to ride a horse, suffer pain even when she walked. If he could, he would give up everything in exchange for her health for the rest of her life.
âThatâs great. I was wondering why the heavens were so unfair and made you suffer so muchâ¦â
Xiaoxiao, who had just reached the door, silently closed the door for them and turned to look at Yun San.
The latter suddenly had a bad feeling.
As expected, in the next moment, Miss Ning, no, Miss Xiao, said to him, âOh, donât you think you should be filial as a child? As an ordinary person, shouldnât you keep your word?â
Yun San:â¦
Xiaoxiao asked him, âYou heard it too. My mother needs Doctor Gongsun, who has superb medical skills, to treat her illness. Doctor Gongsun needs Dayan Mountainâs precious ginseng to save her. Aiyo, I happen to know where those ginsengs grow. Do you think this is fate?
Yun San was determined not to be involved in Miss Xiaoâs words.
âBut Miss, before Master left, he repeatedly reminded us not to let you enter the mountains and take risks. You also agreed at that time. You should keep your promise to Master!â
Xiaoxiao thought to herself, Aiyo, youâve indeed become smarter after following me for a period of time. Youâre not easy to fool.
She said seriously, âIt was dangerous last time when I was kidnapped. This time, with you guys, my parents, and the guards of the Generalâs Residence, how can there be any danger?!â
Seeing that Yun San still wanted to resist, Xiaoxiao sighed. âDo you not have confidence in your own ability, or in the strength of the Generalâs Residence?â This question was a trap! Yun San, who had been scammed, could only frown. He really brought Xiaoxiao into the mountains. Yun San was now facing two pieces of news, one good and one bad.
The good news was that General Xiao didnât agree with Miss Xiao taking the risk either. The bad news was that she came along too.
A large group of people carried their bags and walked into Dayan Mountain majestically like they were on an outing.
It was difficult to ignore Yun Sanâs bitter face. Xiao Ran was in a good mood, so she comforted him. âDonât worry, with so many of us around, even wild boars can only become a dish.â
Yun San was worried. âWhat if wolves come? Those things move in groups.â
Xiao Ran turned to ask her husband, âCan wolf meat be eaten?
Gu Changâan nodded. âYou can braise it or stir-fry it with the other side dishes.â Gongsun Zhongjing explained medical knowledge at the side. âWolf meat can nourish the five internal organs and thicken the stomach. Itâs good for treating fatigue and removing cold accumulation. If you encounter it, you can bring some back.â
Yun San:⦠Wasnât there anyone normal who would feel afraid?
What made him even more helpless was that after walking for about two hours, everyone started to set up an earth stove, gather firewood, and prepare to start a fire. He went to confirm that the surroundings were safe. When he returned, he saw that everyone had even taken the pot to the river to wash and boil water!
Wasnât this efficiency too high? It could be seen that they had done this many times in the past!
However, to be honest, Miss Xiao and her father worked together to cook this meal. Hehe, it smelled so good!
Yun San asked as he nibbled on the pheasant, âMiss Xiao, are you really not going to tell Master about this first?â
Xiaoxiao shook her head. âHeâs fighting at the border. He must have had a lot on his mind recently, so donât find other jobs for his brain. Besides, hehe, I mainly want to give him a surprise myself.â
Yun San could taste the lovey-dovey mushiness from the chicken and immediately shut up.
Xiaoxiao strictly controlled the time, allowing everyone to discover the place where they âfound the ginsengâ at the right time and also found a few 100-year-old top-grade goods nearby. Of course, Xiaoxiao moved them out of her space when no one was paying attention.
She had a lot of points now and was not stingy with these one or two. As long as she could treat Xiao Ranâs leg, she could even take out 200-year-old-ginseng, let alone 100-year-old ginseng.
After all, there were still 10 medicinal herbs growing healthily on the farmland in the space that was 100 times faster..
