Chapter 144: The empress sighed late at night, this Lu Yuan…… really knows how to

This time the system voice left Lu Yuan dazed.

This was still Lu Yuan's first time receiving a reward without even knowing who was who.

Zeng Guofu?

Then... that could only be this middle-aged man.

After all... this person just said, the female doctor's surname is Li, and the male doctor's surname is Liu.

As for why this star rating suddenly jumped straight to four stars.

Lu Yuan actually had a rough idea in his mind.

What else could it be? It must be because of Gu Lie.

But then again, this "Medical Sage"...

Hmm...

At this moment, Zeng Guofu hurriedly came up to Lu Yuan, wearing a fawning smile, and said:

"Grandpa, shall we go in first?"

Lu Yuan wasn't being polite either, directly nodding and saying:

"Let's go."

Afterwards, Zeng Guofu led the two doctors ahead, bringing Lu Yuan and his group toward the hospital building.

The two people's horses were taken to the stables by someone.

"You're not bad, kid."

Lu Yuan raised his eyebrows slightly, looking at Gu Lie, and said:

Gu Lie stared for a moment, then lifted his head somewhat proudly and said:

"That's~"

Lu Yuan didn't ask what Gu Lie's family situation was.

As for playmates, those who play together—unless someone themselves says so, don't go prying; that's the rule of the martial world.

Soon after entering the hospital lobby,

then a direct right turn leads to the obstetrics and gynecology department.

Today being Sunday, there really are a lot of people lining up.

Some have big bellies, some not so obvious.

All are men accompanying their wives while waiting.

Needless to say, Pang Kaige and Wang Yulan are also in line inside.

Lu Yuan walked up to Pang Kaige, patted his shoulder, and grinned, saying:

"Yo, Kaige brother, lining up?"

Wang Yulan, standing in front of Pang Kaige, upon seeing Lu Yuan and Su Liyan arrive,

immediately stepped back one step, making a space ahead of herself, and quietly whispered to Lu Yuan and Su Liyan:

"Sister Su, come quickly in front of me~"

However, before Lu Yuan could say anything, Pang Kaige immediately shouted loudly:

"Get to the back of the line, what, you want to cut in? Who let you come so late?!"

Looking at Pang Kaige's behavior, Lu Yuan couldn't help but burst out laughing and said:

"Brother won't line up, you guys go ahead."

Having said that, Lu Yuan then led his wife forward.

Meanwhile, Pang Kaige watched Lu Yuan stride straight ahead, his face dark.

This Lu Yuan...

Even knows people at the hospital??

No, how does this slippery character know everyone?!!

Upon arriving in front of the obstetrics and gynecology department, Doctor Li took Su Liyan's hand, looked at Lu Yuan, and said:

"Auntie will first take our wife inside~"

Meanwhile, Zeng Guofu beside them hurriedly smiled at Lu Yuan and Gu Lie and said:

"Grandpa, Western medicine isn't like our traditional medicine where just taking the pulse suffices; we need to do a paper test, so we have to wait a while—let's first go to my office to rest?"

Gu Lie had long wanted to find a place to follow Lu Yuan and learn that scattering hand.

He immediately nodded and said:

"Let's go!"

Immediately, Zeng Guofu together with that old traditional doctor, plus Lu Yuan and Gu Lie, headed toward the second-floor office.

However, just now Su Liyan was suddenly led straight in to cut the line, which made the people in that queue unwilling, shouting about how that woman could just cut in and go straight in.

But at that very moment, the obstetrics and gynecology door opened, and a fierce little nurse came out, shouting loudly:

"What's the noise, what's the noise!! Are you seeing a doctor or not, be quiet!!"

After saying that, the hallway fell silent, and then the fierce little nurse went back satisfied.

……

Inside the office, Lu Yuan was instructing Gu Lie in Tai Chi.

"Wrong, you need to use subtle force; look, when this punch comes in, you follow the opponent's force and directly sway them past."

"With this move, the opponent easily loses balance in their lower stance, thus breaking their technique."

Bang!!

Lu Yuan said, then directly pressed Gu Lie to the ground.

Of course, this time wasn't a real beating.

It was just to let Gu Lie experience the point of force Lu Yuan mentioned.

At this moment, Gu Lie, who was being pressed to the ground, said with an excited face:

"Like that, I said, brother, when you beat me before, how did I suddenly end up on the ground just like that?"

"Brother, let me try!"

At this moment, Zeng Guofu, who was beside them pouring tea, had a face full of question marks.

No……

Just who is this Lu Yuan, anyway?

When this prince came over to look for himself today, Zeng Guofu had a face full of question marks.

Prince Lie said his brother brought his wife to check whether she was pregnant.

Zeng Guofu then wondered……

Prince Lie's older brother… isn't that also a prince?

But the problem is……

In the Great Zhou Dynasty, Prince Lie is the only prince.

Where would another prince even come from here?

What kind of brother is this?

Cousin?

Cousin (paternal)?

As for the affairs of the dynasty, Zeng Guofu doesn't know; his rank is too low, and he's never even entered the palace.

But Zeng Guofu knows that the Great Zhou Dynasty has only one prince.

That is none other than Gu Lie, who just got up from the ground.

How come I hear Gu Lie say…… that he was beaten by Lu Yuan last time??

Then why doesn't Gu Lie just take Lu Yuan to see the imperial physician?

What the heck is all this?

And while Zeng Guofu stood there bewildered, Gu Lie got up from the ground, looked at the seated Lu Yuan, and was about to say they should try it out.

However, as soon as he opened his mouth, Gu Lie got a bit timid, then looked around and said to the still relatively young Zeng Guofu:

"You come."

Zeng Guofu: "???"

About half an hour later, Su Liyan came back following Doctor Li.

Lu Yuan quickly stood up and said:

"How is it?"

At this moment, Doctor Li was staring at the hospital director, who was lying on the ground holding his sore waist and couldn't get up, saying anything.

But after coming to his senses, Doctor Li looked at Lu Yuan and quickly said:

"Our wife's time is too short; I heard our wife say they've only been together for twelve days, right?"

Lu Yuan nodded slightly, and Doctor Li then said:

"This time is too short; the test strip can't detect anything…… How about letting Doctor Liu take a pulse first?"

Lu Yuan understood that meaning.

That is, the test strip showed she wasn't pregnant.

However, Doctor Li wasn't lying either; it really can be that quick, but waiting a few days would be about right.

Beside them, the old Chinese medicine doctor had not yet recovered from the earlier shock.

Goodness, the hospital director really got thrown around by that prince.

Just watching it hurts.

And the old Chinese medicine doctor, after regaining his composure, nodded repeatedly and then took a small cushion from the little box on his back.

He also took out a gauze cloth.

Su Liyan sat down at the table, extended her jade hand, and placed her fair wrist on the small cushion.

The old Chinese medicine doctor then placed the gauze cloth on Su Liyan's fair wrist and lightly pressed two fingers onto it.

Lu Yuan also stood by waiting.

Gu Lie's side also quieted down, and everyone gathered around to wait.

For the old Chinese medicine doctor, this kind of thing actually only takes a few seconds.

However…… the person in front of him is not someone small, so naturally he should take a bit more time and examine in detail.

About half a minute later, the old Chinese medicine doctor finally withdrew his hand and said softly to Lu Yuan:

"Sir…… our wife…… seems not to be pregnant yet, probably because the time is still short; come back next week and we'll surely be able to tell."

Hearing this, Lu Yuan wasn't disappointed either.

After all, he hadn't thought about anything when he came; he just came to have a look after hearing the factory leader mention it today.

If there isn't, there isn't; we'll come back next week.

On the other hand, Su Liyan was a bit unhappy.

When Su Liyan came, she had been thinking that she would definitely be able to get pregnant for her man.

She wanted to be like Peach Blossom Girl, giving her man face.

As a result, she really is feeling a bit disappointed now.

But she still hurriedly got up and said thanks.

Finally, the group finished looking and came out.

When Lu Yuan was preparing to go home with Su Liyan, Pang Kaige and Wang Yulan were still waiting in line.

However, there were still two or three people ahead, but it was going quickly.

Seeing Su Liyan, Wang Yulan hurriedly asked curiously:

"Sister Su, are you pregnant?"

Pang Kaige was also listening attentively.

Su Liyan wasn't in high spirits, she slightly shook her head and spoke softly:

"No, the doctor said the time is a bit short; nothing can be seen yet."

Hearing this, Wang Yulan smiled and comforted:

"It's fine, Brother Lu is so capable; getting pregnant is certain. Come back next week for a check."

Wang Yulan sure knows how to speak.

Pang Kaige beside them had a black line on his face: "How do you know Lu Yuan is so capable?"

Afterwards, everyone led their horses out of the hospital's courtyard.

At the courtyard gate, Lu Yuan looked at Gu Lie beside him and said:

"Alright, hurry home and practice. We're also heading back. Tomorrow I won't go fishing, so don't come looking for me."

"Practice well what I taught you, come find me tomorrow morning, and I'll check!"

Over the next week, Lu Yuan had three things to do.

First, continue making a baby.

Second, go record the potatoes.

Third, study the Medical Saint!

The Medical Saint—Lu Yuan took it out and glanced at it twice while waiting for his wife in the office.

This thing teaches people medicine; it's a super medical book.

Recently, Lu Yuan obtained three books from the system.

The Cooking God—Lu Yuan couldn't be bothered to read it.

The War God—he would occasionally give it a look.

But this Medical Saint must be read seriously.

This is absolutely a required course for Lu Yuan.

Something more important than anything like the Artisan Heart.

Lu Yuan isn't planning to become a doctor in the future; mainly, after he understands the Medical Saint,

that is to protect his wife's safety!

He himself has a perfect physique and fears no illness, but what about his wife?

And what about his wife's family?

Who can avoid getting sick or having some misfortune?

If it turns out to be some strange, serious illness that the hospital can't figure out, then Lu Yuan can take a look.

In the future, for minor ailments and mishaps, Lu Yuan can also directly go get medicine, without needing to come to the hospital.

So this Medical Saint is something Lu Yuan must study, and he needs to study it well.

Once he understands the Medical Saint, Lu Yuan will come out to have fun!

And Gu Lie excitedly nodded repeatedly, saying:

"Don't worry, Brother Yuan, I'll definitely practice hard when I go back!"

Just now in the office, Gu Lie's practice wasn't satisfying.

That Zeng Guofu is too weak—he collapsed after just a few moves.

Gu Lie wants to go back and find a few strong Imperial Guard members to have some fun with.

Afterwards, the two split up; Lu Yuan rode his horse home with his wife.

On the way, seeing his wife looking unhappy, Lu Yuan tightly hugged her and laughed:

"Oh dear, little fox, are you unhappy?"

Su Liyan was startled, then she coquettishly said:

"What little fox~"

Lu Yuan gently rubbed her cheek and softly comforted:

"Don't be unhappy; we've only been at this a few days—it's normal not to see anything yet. Let's go again next week and it'll be fine."

Su Liyan looked at her man pitifully and said:

"But... they also didn't say she'd definitely be pregnant by next week."

Lu Yuan smiled, pursing his lips, and said:

"Then how about the week after next? If still nothing the week after that, then the week after that—wife, our days ahead are long."

Hearing her man's gentle words, Su Liyan slightly pursed her lips, almost tearing up.

Yeah~ our days ahead are long~

……

After returning to the Siheyuan, he saw Gao Xushi busy in the front yard, not knowing what she was doing.

Upon seeing Lu Yuan and Su Liyan return, Gao Xushi immediately asked curiously:

How is it? Did you find out?

Lu Yuan took his wife's little hand, looked at Gao Xushi, and smiled:

Nothing, the doctor said this time is too short, still can't detect anything, let's go again next week.

After hearing that, Gao Xushi raised her eyebrows and said:

No need to go for this; by then it'll be clear—where could you go get checked every week!

Lu Yuan smiled and shook his head, saying:

No, you should go every week, so you have to go every week—if I'd known earlier, there are benefits~

Hearing Lu Yuan's words, Gao Xushi pursed her lips, too lazy to keep talking to him.

What benefits? No benefits!

Is it just your wife's treasure?

And you still take her every week?

Whose wife is like this?

Gao Xushi thought, this is just because there's no elder to help in the family—young people just mess around.

Su Liyan deserves it!

If she married into my family, with an elder like me helping, she'd know everything—Su Liyan would be so blessed!

And Lu Yuan didn't bother arguing further with Gao Xushi.

Hurry back home, Lu Yuan still has to read the Medical Saint.

After returning to the back courtyard, he saw many people gathered here, arguing nonstop.

How can you use the washing machine to wash your child's urine-soaked clothes!! So dirty!! How are we supposed to wash after this!!

Why not? My family's wash leaves the machine clean and dry—why can't you wash?

What clean and dry? It looks clean on the surface, but it feels disgusting inside—how can you do that!

Looking at this bunch of aunties arguing, Lu Yuan slightly raised his eyebrows.

You see, the washing machine should be separate—private is private, no need to use the public one.

The aunties in the courtyard, upon seeing Lu Yuan return, immediately came over and said:

Yuan'er, you're back just in time—come judge, is this okay, is it dirty or not!

Right, Yuan'er, hurry up and say something—this is your family's washing machine, you kindly let everyone use it, how can they just look out for themselves?

Looking at these aunties who immediately gathered around.

Lu Yuan blinked.

Heh~

I inexplicably started to have prestige in this courtyard~

Like the three elders in the courtyard, I began to be able to judge disputes among the aunties.

Regarding the moral issue of the public washing machine, Lu Yuan also felt intense hatred.

He immediately said, from now on the public washing machine can only wash coats, sweaters, pants, etc.

No washing of miscellaneous disgusting things like children's urine-soaked clothes, feces-soaked clothes, shoes, etc.

After Lu Yuan finished speaking, the aunties in the courtyard basically all agreed wholeheartedly.

Those of poor quality, although they wanted to argue a bit, but this washing machine is ultimately Lu Yuan's family's.

What Lu Yuan says, that's how it will be.

Nor did they speak.

After Lu Yuan finished speaking, he then led his wife back home.

On the way back, Lu Yuan also cheered up his wife.

After Su Liyan returned home, she collected the family's clothes hanging in the courtyard; this home is warm and dries quickly~

After putting away the clothes, Su Liyan returned home, seeing her husband lounging with legs crossed in the main hall reading a book, she sweetly said:

Brother~ what do you want to eat tonight~

Lu Yuan looked up at his wife before him and gave a hehe evil laugh, saying:

Brother tonight wants to eat white rabbit~

Su Liyan was startled, then blushed all over and shyly said:

Brother~ don't tease~ I need to go buy vegetables~

Lu Yuan blinked and said:

Hmm…… let me think~

……

Night, past nine o'clock.

Gu Qingwan looked at the report in her hand about Lu Yuan today.

Her facial expression wasn't particularly solemn.

Instead, she had a faint smile.

This Lu Yuan…… really knows how to pamper women……
