CHAPTER 50: CHAPTER 50: THE PROJECT FELL THROUGH

Doctor Li finished speaking and came out of the room, followed by Mr. Jiang, who pulled Doctor Li aside and asked in a low voice, "Doctor, give me a definitive answer, can my third son’s leg be healed?"

Doctor Li shook his head, "Let me tell you, it’s not that my medical skills are lacking, even if the Imperial Physician came, this leg is still ten out of nine likely to become lame. The injury isn’t in a good place, even with a splint, it’s difficult to fix, and it easily shifts. Once it shifts, the bone grows crooked."

"In the future, he’ll definitely need a cane to walk."

Although Mr. Jiang was already mentally prepared, hearing Doctor Li’s definite words, he immediately felt as if the sky had collapsed.

It’s over, the third son can’t take the imperial exams.

In the future, he also won’t be able to bring glory to the Jiang Family name.

The whole family’s aspirations to rise to prominence have become nothing more than an illusion.

He stood dazed outside for a long time before returning to the house.

Upon entering, he called Jiang Hua, "You come back with me first, there’s no need for so many people here."

Mrs. Chen looked at him but said nothing. After a long time, she finally spoke as if to herself, "Do you believe it? Once the old man leaves, he might never come back."

"The old man is best at calculating, the third son—"

She turned her head to glance at the third son with closed eyes on the couch and whispered, "The third son’s leg most likely will be lame, in the future he won’t be able to take the imperial exams, the old man won’t spend any more Silver on him."

Gu Yunjiao remained silent beside her, understanding very clearly the mentality of those people in the Jiang Family, as if they had an investment project, and they had cautiously invested a bit of money with hopes for hundreds or thousands of times return in the future.

Now, this project has completely failed. Is it possible to ask them to invest more money?

She went outside again, seeing that the medicine was almost done boiling, borrowed a bowl, poured out the medicine, and carried it inside.

The medicine was still scalding hot and steamed on the table.

Mrs. Chen suddenly grabbed Gu Yunjiao’s hand, "Yun Jiao, you know how to treat illnesses, do you have a way to heal the third son’s leg?"

Gu Yunjiao asked back, "Do you trust me?"

Mrs. Chen hesitated upon hearing this.

Gu Yunjiao was still young, although she cured Guihua last time, diarrhea is a minor illness, unlike a fractured leg.

At this moment, Jiang Youzhi on the couch suddenly opened his eyes, "I trust you, your medical skills must be more brilliant than Doctor Li’s."

He wasn’t speaking nonsensically, he personally witnessed her treating Jiang Erlang’s dislocation, just a pull and push, and the arm was set right, all in the blink of an eye.

Coincidentally, previously Xu Zhizhong also had a dislocation, and they found Doctor Li, he accompanied him.

At that time, Doctor Li felt Xu Zhizhong’s arm for quite a while, and tried several times before finally setting Xu Zhizhong’s arm, during which Xu Zhizhong cried out in pain like a slaughtered pig.

By comparison, it was clear that Gu Yunjiao’s technique was far more brilliant than Doctor Li’s.

Gu Yunjiao slightly raised an eyebrow at Jiang Youzhi’s words, she didn’t know where Jiang Youzhi’s confidence came from.

After all, despite her good medical skills, she’s been here for a short time, and hasn’t had the chance to showcase much.

Nonetheless, if they trust her, it’s much easier.

She walked to the couch and sat down, "I’ll check the pulse first."

After checking the pulse, she let out a sigh of relief, the pulse wasn’t too dangerous, indicating the internal organs were just a bit shocked, with no major issues.

The trouble is the fractured leg.

She thought for a moment, "I’ve looked at the prescription Doctor Li made, considering the third son’s situation, the prescription is not wrong, taking it will be effective, but it has no pain relief effect."

"If you use my prescription, at least the third son won’t be in so much pain."
