Traveling through time as a peasant girl, buying a husband and raising a child

Chapter 229 It’s Not Incurable!

Mu Jiaojiao was sitting on the couch, and she noticed his gaze. She looked at Wang Zhong and said:

"Uncle Wang Zhong, there's no need to be restrained. Just sit down and answer."

"Aye, then I would like to thank the princess!"

Wang Zhong was a fifth-rank general from Jiang Jin's former Black Armored Iron Army. He had been forced to retire because he had injured his legs on the battlefield.

Because he was alone, his parents had died, and he had not yet married and had children, Jiang Jin took pity on him and let him manage the farm.

Now that Mu Jiaojiao was not particular about trivial matters, he sat down happily.

Afterwards, he told Mu Jiaojiao about Zhuangzi's recent situation. Mu Jiaojiao felt that there were no mistakes and found that the account books were well organized.

So he just mentioned briefly that the hired farmers had to ensure their livelihood and could not be treated harshly. Then, seeing that it was getting late, he raised his hand to signal Wang Zhong to go down and rest.

Seeing this, Wang Zhong also stood up and wanted to bow, but his legs and feet were inconvenient and he suddenly felt sore and almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, Yunyu was quick to help him up.

"My legs and feet are not convenient, I apologize for my impoliteness, I hope your Highness will not blame me!"

After he stood firm, Wang Zhong looked a little embarrassed, but he put on a smile on his honest face and apologized to Mu Jiaojiao.

Seeing this, Mu Jiaojiao waved her hand to indicate that he was fine.

Then he stood up from the couch, walked up to him, and said to Wang Zhongcheng sincerely:

"I wonder if Uncle Wang Zhong would mind letting me see your legs?"

Mu Jiaojiao looked at his leg and thought it looked like an old injury. Since he was now her subordinate, she thought it would be nice to help him.

"This... This subordinate's leg injury is an old one from adulthood. I'm afraid it will offend the princess."

Wang Zhong was a little hesitant. No matter how casual Mu Jiaojiao was, she was still the prince's wife and the princess of Prince Jin's Mansion. He didn't dare to offend her easily.

"Doctors don't see these things. Uncle Wang Zhong is being too serious."

Mu Jiaojiao noticed his hesitation and then spoke again, her tone mixed with reassuring power.

"Don't worry, Steward Wang. The princess is a skilled doctor. She just wants to check on your injuries."

Chang Le, who was standing by, saw this and hurriedly added, his tone full of confidence in his princess's medical skills.

"Then I'll trouble you, Princess!"

Wang Zhong no longer hesitated after hearing this. Although he did not quite believe Mu Jiaojiao's words about her superb medical skills, Mu Jiaojiao was a princess and she also had good intentions.

He thought that even if Mu Jiaojiao couldn't cure the disease or didn't understand it, he could just help her out.

Anyway, he is a rough guy, so it’s no big deal for him to look at the injury, right?

So after saying this with gratitude, he sat back on the stool.

Seeing this, Mu Jiaojiao squatted down and said sorry to Wang Zhong. Chang Le rolled up Wang Zhong's right trouser leg in time.

Mu Jiaojiao noticed that the shin bone on his right foot was slightly protruding. She reached out and touched it, and it was obvious that the shin bone was broken by external force.

Although the bones were reconnected later, they were somewhat shattered and the broken bones grew wildly in the flesh. Ancient medicine was backward, which resulted in occasional pain.

After reading it, Mu Jiaojiao's expression did not change, and she lowered her head in thought.

"My leg has been injured for over four years. Princess, don't worry. I'm used to it."

Wang Zhong looked at Mu Jiaojiao in silence with a heavy expression on her face. He knew that his leg could not be cured at all, so he comforted Mu Jiaojiao.

Mu Jiaojiao came back to her senses after hearing this and realized that Wang Zhong had misunderstood her.

In fact, she was just thinking about the possibility of arranging surgery.

“It’s not incurable!”

Mu Jiaojiao then stood up and spoke seriously to Wang Zhong who was sitting on the stool.

"Are you serious, Princess? Is there any way to cure my leg?"

After hearing this, Wang Zhong's eyes flashed with surprise, then he was delighted, and then he hesitated.

It's not that he doubted Mu Jiaojiao, but over the years, he had seen many doctors, including Shan Xue, a disciple of the Divine Doctor Valley who lived in Prince Jin's Mansion. Shan Xue had also seen him before, but they could only prescribe some prescriptions to relieve his pain.

Moreover, two of the medicinal ingredients in the prescription are very precious. How can he afford them with his wealth?

Later, Prince Jin found out about it and ordered his subordinates to bring him medicine regularly. However, over the past few years, the medicine on the prescription became less and less effective after he drank it in excess, and his legs still hurt as before.

Everyone was helpless. Even the Divine Doctor Valley couldn't cure it. His own newly promoted Princess Jin said she could cure it, but he was naturally skeptical.

"It is indeed treatable, but the treatment can only guarantee that the pain will go away from time to time. However, my right foot is slightly shorter than my left, so there is really nothing I can do about it."

"After all, the bones must have been shattered, so it's impossible for them to grow back. However, we can still customize special shoes so that you can walk like a normal person!"

Mu Jiaojiao saw that the person in front of her didn't believe her, nor did she care much. She just talked to herself in a light tone, as if treating Wang Zhong's legs was no big deal at all.

But for Yu Mujiaojiao, this is really not a big deal. In modern terms, for her, who lives on the edge of a knife, as long as her life is safe, it is not a big deal.

But Wang Zhong was different. His eyes were full of hope. He saw that Mu Jiaojiao spoke very clearly and could even walk like a normal person. Even though he had doubts in his heart, he was still full of expectations.

"but……"

Mu Jiaojiao looked at him excitedly and was about to say that she needed someone to help her when she was interrupted excitedly by Wang Zhong.

"Princess, as long as you can heal my leg, as long as it doesn't violate the moral principles of my family and country, and as long as I don't betray His Royal Highness Prince Jin, I am willing to do anything!"

Mu Jiaojiao wanted to laugh when she saw him looking like he was ready to die heroically. She just needed a helper...

"Uncle Wang Zhong, you're being polite. I just wanted to say I need someone to help me."

Mu Jiaojiao saw that he was loyal to her husband, and no matter how excited she was, she never forgot her man, so she used "I" when speaking.

"Hahaha, Manager Wang is a little excited."

Chang Le looked at Wang Zhong's happiness and saw the smile on his master's face, and couldn't help but make a joke.

"Hehe...Miss Chang Le is right. I was really too excited."

Wang Zhong was teased by Chang Le and then he smiled awkwardly, losing his previous sophisticated look.

He looked a bit like he was in his mid-twenties.

"Then I wonder what kind of assistant the princess needs. I can send someone to arrange it."

Then Wang Zhong asked Mu Jiaojiao a little urgently. After so many years, he also wanted to try and see if his leg could still be healed?

Back then he was skilled in martial arts and was a brave warrior. But later on his leg was seriously injured and he couldn't walk more than a few steps without excruciating pain, so he had to leave the border.

"Meng He from Yudu Tongji Pharmacy, send someone to look for him and tell them I'm looking for him."

Mu Jiaojiao didn't keep anyone in suspense and directly talked about her cheap and shameless old apprentice.

Mu Jiaojiao heard that after this old man came to Yudu, his reputation gradually increased, and it was not easy to invite him now...
