Chapter 133: Chapter 134: Prosthesis Installation Successful

Shao He was just about to put the items away and go home when Zhao Yuebei suddenly furrowed his brow and asked, “Doctor Shao, these items seem to be made of iron? Where did they come from?”

When Shao He was asked this, she suddenly remembered that the iron mines were strictly controlled, and she simply couldn’t have gotten a hold of these iron items.

“This isn’t iron, it’s steel,” Shao He found an excuse and brushed it off.

Zhao Yuebei then nodded and didn’t ask any more questions.

The next morning, Bai Yi and Pei Huaian, among others, were already waiting early in Anji Hall; even Yan Ze came to join in the excitement, as he was also very curious about how to enable a person who had no legs to walk normally.

Shao He took Bai Yi into a room to fit him with a prosthetic limb and let him slowly get used to it.

...

At first, he fell quite a few times, but gradually he became more skilled, managing to take one big step at a time, followed by two steps, then three.

He was so excited that he could hardly control his emotions, never expecting to have a day when he could walk normally again.

When he pushed open the door and walked out, everyone’s eyes widened in surprise, and mouths hung open.

Seeing everyone’s expressions, Shao He wasn’t particularly impressed and instructed Bai Yi with precautions, “Don’t walk too much in the next few days, get used to it first, and don’t engage in strenuous activities.”

“That’s great, I can go to the battlefield again,” Bai Yi said loudly.

However, Shao He interrupted that thought, “You can’t, you can only walk normally and do simple activities. I’ve already said, you can’t do vigorous exercise.”

The light in Bai Yi’s eyes dimmed again as he sighed lightly, looking at his right leg that could now walk.

“Don’t be too greedy, being able to walk is already the best outcome, much better than hobbling on crutches,” Shao He consoled from behind him.

She knew how much a soldier yearned to be on the battlefield, but his condition didn’t allow it.

“Thank you.”

After Pei Huaian expressed his gratitude, he quickly left with Bai Yi.

Shao He knew that he must be taking Bai Yi to see that patient.

Yun Qian stepped forward and exclaimed, “I never thought your medical skills were so amazing; I’m afraid even the chief physician of the Imperial Medical Bureau doesn’t compare to you.”

Shao He looked at him with puzzled eyes and a slightly raised eyebrow, “How do you know the chief physician of the Imperial Medical Bureau?”

Yun Qian didn’t expect his careless remark to prompt suspicion and hastily responded vaguely, “My father knew him before.”

“I’ve never heard you mention your father. Who is he, could it be that he was also with the Imperial Medical Bureau before?”

Yun Qian’s eyes dodged, “No, he wasn’t, I have something to do, I must be going.”

Shao He watched his hurried departure and felt that Yun Qian seemed to be hiding something.

While she was pondering, Liang Weishuang’s maid came in holding several exquisite boxes.

“I’ve seen Doctor Shao.”

Shao He recognized at a glance that she was Liang Weishuang’s head maid and spoke with a cold tone, “What is it?”

The maid offered up the items in her hands respectfully, “These are some pieces of jewelry that my mistress has exclusively sent for Doctor Shao. We hope Doctor Shao will accept them.”

“For me?” Shao He didn’t understand why she would suddenly send her jewelry out of the blue.

“Yes, my mistress instructed me to deliver them personally,” the maid answered with a smile.

“Take them back,” Shao He firmly declined, echoing the old adage that one should not accept rewards for which they have not worked.

The maid immediately replied upon her refusal, “My mistress feels slightly guilty because of her marriage to Marquis Chu and thus sent these pieces of jewelry.”

It turned out to be out of guilt. Shao He lowered her eyes and chuckled, “Take these things back.”

“But… my mistress doesn’t dare to face Doctor Shao, yet she is grateful to you. Please accept them on account of my mistress’s earnest intentions,” the maid persisted.

“Your mistress has paid silver for the medical treatments before, there’s no need for guilt. Please relay a message to your mistress from me, that she should take a good look into Chu Yu and Luo Jiner,” Shao He left the maid with that thought-provoking statement and turned to leave.

Inside Marquis Chu’s residence, Chu Yu was dealing with official matters in his study when Steward Li knocked and entered.

“What is it?” Chu Yu lifted his gaze to ask.

Bowing, Steward Li reported, “Marquis, you instructed me to check on madam’s dowry, but Miss Luo has already dealt with it.”

“What!” Chu Yu stood up abruptly, barking out loud.

His handsome face twisted with anger as he ground out three icy words through clenched teeth, “Luo, Jiner.”

“Yes, Marquis, all of madam’s dowry has been spent by Miss Luo, and now she can’t produce any jewelry…” Steward Li’s voice trembled as he reported, sensing an ominous premonition.

“Bang!”

Chu Yu’s palm slammed on the table, his face shrouded in a dense shadow, his eyes as sharp as a hawk’s.

Steward Li stood there trembling, not daring to make a sound.

“Marquis, I also heard that Miss Luo took madam’s dowry and gave it away to someone else.”

Chu Yu stood up again and grabbed Steward Li’s clothes, demanding, “To whom?”

“It was Mei Ying who came a few days ago,” Steward Li replied with swallowed fear.

Chu Yu pushed Steward Li aside and strode out; he needed to find Luo Jiner and get to the bottom of exactly what was going on!
