Grand commander Xu hadn’t finished speaking when Xie Yunjin got up, walked over, and muttered a few words in his ear.
Immediately, grand commander Xu’s face became strange. He turned to look at Lu Jiao and finally gritted his teeth and said, “It’s enlarged, and sometimes I feel a hard lump, especially when standing.”
Lu Jiao listened and was able to confirm the illness that grand commander Xu was suffering from.
“You have a varicocele, and the symptoms are quite severe, so this is the reason why you can’t have children.”
Grand commander Xu didn’t understand the name of the disease that Lu Jiao mentioned, but he heard the words “can’t have children.”
His mind buzzed for a moment, and it took a long time for him to say, “Are you saying that I can’t have children?”
“Yes,” Lu Jiao replied.
Grand commander Xu’s face immediately turned ashen.
In a moment, however, he straightened up and stared at Lu Jiao, “This isn’t right. If I can’t have children, where did my daughter come from?
At first, Lu Jiao and Xie Yunjin hadn’t noticed this, but now that they heard grand commander Xu mention it.
The two of them looked at each other, and meaningful smiles appeared in their eyes.
Xie Yunjin turned to grand commander Xu and said, “That’s your own business, but I can tell you that my wife’s medical skills are potent. She has cured many people with difficult and complicated illnesses that others couldn’t treat. Since she has diagnosed you with an inability to have children, you definitely can’t.
As for your daughter, you should investigate that yourself.”
Grand commander Xu thought of something and looked incredulous. His chubby body trembled lightly.
Could it be that the daughter he had always loved was not his own child, but someone else’s?
He had not only worn the cuckold’s hat for so many years but had also raised someone else’s child at home.
Grand commander Xu’s face turned white and black, and finally, with a leap, he stood up and rushed out, “I don’t believe it. This isn’t true.”
Grand commander Xu left with his people, and Xie Yunjin and Lu Jiao burst into laughter. Xie Yunjin looked at Lu Jiao and asked, “Is it true that grand commander Xu has varicocele?”
“Yes, and the symptoms are quite severe. So he can’t have children. Otherwise, with so many concubines, how come only Xu Qingyin’s mother give birth?” Lu Jiao replied.
Xie Yunjin asked, “Can his illness be cured?”
“He must have surgery. After the surgery, some reproductive function can be restored, but I don’t know to what extent.”
After Lu Jiao finished, a strange expression appeared on Xie Yunjin’s face.
“They won’t operate on that place, will they?”
As soon as he finished, he felt a sudden pain in his lower body and unconsciously closed his legs.
Lu Jiao nodded, and Xie Yunjin immediately said, “If you really operate on him, don’t do it yourself. Let Qi Lei do it for him, like he did for Liang Ziwen last time.”
Lu Jiao thought about it and agreed, “Let’s discuss it later.”
After speaking, she got up and left to go back to the back courtyard to sleep. The next day, Zhu Baozhu and Tan Xiaoya brought their two children to visit the Xie’s home. When they arrived, they saw that Xie’s family had eight children attending cla.s.ses, and they were learning particularly novel things.
Zhu Baozhu and Tan Xiaoya had an idea and wanted to leave their children at the Xie’s house to study.
“Sister Lu, please let my daughter Miaomiao stay and study. Although she is young, she is very obedient.”
Tan Xiaoya also whispered, “My son Kangkang is also a well-behaved child, but he doesn’t have many playmates. Can you let him play with other children in your house?
Lu Jiao was speechless. She only wanted to open a small kindergarten for the four little ones, but now it had really become a kindergarten.
Originally, there were already eight little ones plus Lin Xi, and now with two more, it would definitely be even more chaotic.
However, after she saw Zhu Baozhu pull on her clothes and Tan Xiaoya’s pitiful eyes on her, Lu Jiao couldn’t refuse them. She finally said, “They can stay, but the rules are very strict. Don’t be too lenient on them just because they are your children.
Zhu Baozhu quickly said, “WC won’t be too lenient, thank you, sister Lu.” As soon as she finished speaking, she called Zheng Miao over and said, “Thank your Aunt Lu.”
Although Zheng Miao was only three years old, she was indeed a cute little girl.
She grinned at Lu Jiao with her two small tiger teeth showing, “Thank you, auntie.”
Du Kang also said softly, “Thank you, Auntie.”
Lu Jiao didn’t know what to do, so she called Feng Zhi over and took the two little ones with her.
“Tell Master Pan to add these two little ones from now on,” she said to Feng Zhi.
Feng Zhi had a good impression of Zhu Baozhu and Tan Xiaoya. They had protected Lady Lu before, which was nice of them.
Zhu Baozhu thanked Lu Jiao again and again, “Thank you, sister Lu. Thank you so much.”
Tan Xiaoya was also very grateful, “Thank you. We will pay for Kangkang’s expenses incurred at your place.”
Zhu Baozhu also quickly said, “We will pay for Miaomiao’s food as well.”
Lu Jiao had already done such a good thing for them, so why would she take their money? A three-year-old and a four-year-old couldn’t eat much anyway.
“Okay, why are you saying these things?” Lu Jiao finished speaking and looked at Zhu Baozhu. She thought of Zhu Baozhu’s husband, Zheng Zhixing, and hoped that the person behind the plot against Xie Yunjin was not him.
At noon, Lu Jiao instructed aunt Hua to prepare for a barbecue. The adults and children had a great time barbecuing in the backyard.
Aunt Hua, Feng Zhi, and Grandma Qiu immediately went to prepare the food.
The children were also excited to have a barbecue for lunch and offered to help. With so many children, the scene was quite lively.
Xie Yunjin avoided them and took Lin Dong to the front yard to have a simple meal. He did not want to get involved with the women and children in the backyard.
Han Dongsheng remained very silent and didn’t say anything. The little boy looked lonely and depressed, huddled in a corner as if he had been struck.
Seeing his appearance, Lu Jiao guessed that he had asked the people at the Han manor yesterday whether his mother was a good person or not.
Knowing Du Lanzhu’s character, Lu Jiao guessed that it was impossible for anyone to say she was a good person.
Wasnt Han Dongsheng thunderstruck by this? He always thought his mother was a good person – good to them and generous. But everyone said she was not a good person. Could he still believe what his mother said?
Lu Jiao pretended not to see Han Dongsheng’s unhappiness. Some things had to be processed on one’s own.
During the barbecue at noon, everyone ate and played. In the end, they were all full. Lu Jiao urged Lin Xi and the four little ones to take their little friends for a walk.
The children brought Soot and Marble to play in the yard.
Lu Jiao ordered someone to make hawthorn tea for Zhu Baozhu and Tan Xiaoya
to aid their digestion. She herself went to the front courtyard to give Liu Ziyan
acupuncture. After she finished, she went back to the backyard to chat with Zhu Baozhu and Tan Xiaoya.
“Why didn’t you bring Lady Liu with you today?”
