Chapter 73: Chapter 73 Divine Doctor Vest Man
Chapter 73 -73 Divine Doctor Vest Man
“Whimper, I was wrong, sister-in-law, I really was, godfather, godmother, aunt, it hurts… whimper…”
Before the family punishment had even begun, Wen Jingya was already crying loudly in terror, completely losing the composure expected of a lady from a prestigious family.
Lu Yaobang sighed deeply and drearily drank his wine.
Although Meng Lian and Lu Xuemei felt heartbroken, they dared not speak further, fearing that more words might lead to greater mistakes and more than just twenty lashes.
“Jingya, don’t worry, godmother will find you the best doctor to ensure no scars will be left on your body.”
“Be gentle when you hit her.”
Hearing the words of Meng Lian and Lu Xuemei, Wen Jingya lay despondently on the torture bench, with tears streaming down.
Far from feeling remorseful, she gritted her teeth, clenched her fists tightly, and secretly vowed to make Jiang Man experience the humiliation she endured today.
“Hit her!” came the loud command from the old lady, and the whip lashed down heavily.
“Ah—” Wen Jingya screamed in agony, her tears ruining her makeup.
“It hurts, ah! Help!”
“Brother Xingzhou, I was wrong, Jingya truly realizes her fault now.”
“Ah—whimper whimper—”
In the courtyard, Wen Jingya’s screams echoed back and forth, startling even the cicadas on the trees into silence.
The summer heat had not yet dissipated, and the sweat mixed with the blood whipped out emitted a strange, lingering odor in the air.
After the twenty lashes were administered, Wen Jingya was at death’s door, unable to utter a single word.
“Quickly call Doctor Wan!”
Meng Lian and Lu Xuemei, pained by what they witnessed, quickly supported her from either side and instructed the servants to carry Wen Jingya away.
Seeing this, the old lady shook her head and sighed, “I never thought Jingya would turn out like this; I watched her grow up, how could her thoughts suddenly become so vile?”
“Grandmother, a girl changes a lot at eighteen, please don’t blame yourself,” Lu Xingzhou hurriedly consoled.
The old lady nodded and turned to instruct Uncle Fu, “Have A’lian and Xuemei come here, I have important matters to announce.”
Shortly after, Lu Xuemei, supporting a weeping Meng Lian, returned to the dining table.
Both looked like frostbitten persimmons, utterly dispirited.
“Mom, please announce your matter quickly, we need to take care of Jingya,” Lu Xuemei muttered.
The old lady’s face darkened, and she slapped the dining table heavily, “You must not leave the table before I rise. I haven’t left the table yet, are you all prepared to skip meals? It’s only right for a child to be punished for her mistakes. What? Do you two adults want to defy me by showing your dissatisfaction?”
“Not at all, Mom, please don’t misunderstand,” Meng Lian quickly wiped away her tears.
The old lady was already quite displeased with Jingya; they, being adults, should not foster further resentment by complicating things.
“Mom, we’re eating, we’re eating. Whatever you want to announce can wait, we’re all ears,” Meng Lian forced a smile.
Lu Xuemei furrowed her brows, “Second sister-in-law…”
She was cut off mid-sentence by a stern glance from Meng Lian.
This intervention made the old lady lose her appetite instantly.
She took a deep breath and said, “Tomorrow, let’s meet Manman’s maternal uncle. Each of you should prepare a gift for the meeting!”
“Oh, that’s all? I was worried it was something major,” Lu Xuemei murmured under her breath.
She thought since Jiang Man’s family was just an ordinary household, any simple gift would probably make them very happy.
“Mom, rest assured, I’ve already prepared the gift,” Meng Lian said, showing she understood the bigger picture.
The old lady felt a bit better and, thinking of something, she looked at Lu Xingzhou, “When Dr. Wan arrives later, you should also have a check-up. How has your sleep been lately? Still having frequent nightmares?”
“No need to see Dr. Wan.” Lu Xingzhou replied indifferently, picking up his chopsticks as if to start eating.
When she heard this, the old lady suddenly became anxious, “Zhou’er, you must not conceal your illness from doctors!”
“Can’t blame Zhou’er for not wanting to see a doctor. We’ve been looking for over twenty years and still can’t identify the root of the problem.” Lu Xuemei continued, suddenly inspired, “Right! I heard that there’s a ‘Man’ Divine Doctor abroad, well-versed in both Chinese and Western medicine, who has cured many difficult and complicated cases! Have you seen the news about that boy with bark-like skin from Africa? He cured him!”
“I saw that news. The boy was born with very rough skin, like tree bark, and was not expected to live past ten years old, but he was actually cured?” Meng Lian, intrigued, couldn’t help but inquire.
Lu Xuemei immediately began to show off, as if she was very familiar with the Divine Doctor, “He was cured! Just the other day, I saw a report about it on the news! This Divine Doctor Man is extraordinarily skilled, you know, even a Duke from the British royal family, who had been using a wheelchair since a car accident in his twenties, was completely healed by him!”
“My! That’s really miraculous! His medical skills are so exceptional, perhaps he could really cure Zhou’er’s nightmare syndrome.”
“Cough, cough, cough…” Jiang Man gulped down a mouthful of lemon water, nearly choking on it.
So rumors were indeed distorted and exaggerated until they became hearsay.
The man named Louis, who was a Duke, did indeed have an accident that resulted in a broken leg, and the Duke, for cosmetic reasons, adamantly refused amputation.
She had indeed helped the Duke leave the wheelchair and stand and walk again.
But the Duke’s leg had atrophied after more than twenty years in a wheelchair; it was much shorter than a normal leg.
Full recovery was impossible, though he could walk with a limp.
“That’s not even the most miraculous part, I heard he made a man pregnant, who then successfully gave birth!”
New novel chapt𝒆rs are published on ƒгeewebnovёl.com.
“My God!” Meng Lian exclaimed, covering her mouth in shock.
Even Lu Yaobang, who usually showed no interest in such gossip, couldn’t resist joining in the excitement, “Nonsense! How can a man get pregnant without a uterus?”
“Don’t be so skeptical, big brother, I’ll find the news report for you right now!” Lu Xuemei hurriedly pulled out her phone to search for the information and showed it to Lu Yaobang.
Lu Yaobang saw that it was actually a post released on ‘The Lancet,’ the most prestigious medical forum internationally!
“Then it must be true! Zhou’er, there is hope for your condition! There is definitely hope! We just need to find this Divine Doctor Man!”
“What ‘Divine Doctor Man’?”
“Doesn’t Man mean ‘man’ in English?” Lu Yaobang rolled his eyes.
“It does mean ‘man,’ but if it is a name, it’s pronounced as ‘Man En’.” Lu Xuemei hastily corrected.
This Divine Doctor Man was her idol!
“Whether it’s Man or whatever En, no matter the cost, we must bring him here!”
“Cough, cough, cough…” Jiang Man choked on her water again.
Do these elders not read the full news? That supposedly pregnant man was actually a rare intersex person.
According to the patient’s wishes, they chose to identify as female, so Jiang Man performed the surgery.
How did it turn into a man being able to get pregnant and give birth in the elders’ conversation?
Ridiculous, truly ridiculous!
“Manman, are you okay?” Seeing Jiang Man choke twice, Lu Xingzhou quickly pulled a few tissues for her and asked with concern.
At the same time, he seriously addressed the elders, “It seems my nightmare syndrome has been cured, there’s no need for a Divine Doctor.”
“Cured?” The previously noisy trio suddenly stopped discussing in unison.
“Who cured it? Do we actually have a Divine Doctor domestically?”
