Zhou Mao endured the intense pain and shakily stood up.
He then released the wheelchair and cautiously took a step forward, then a second, a third…
Zhou Mao walked out of the courtyard.
Upon reaching the courtyard, Zhou Mao spread his arms and took a deep breath of the fresh air outside.
After a long while, Zhou Wentian finally came back to his senses. He quickly emerged from the wine cellar and entered the courtyard.
The Zhou family members also hurried out, murmuring amongst themselves.
“What’s going on? Yesterday evening, Zhou Mao was still a cripple, and now, after just one night, he can stand up and walk from the wine cellar to the courtyard.”
“Is this a dream?”
“All the renowned doctors who previously treated Zhou Mao said that he would never be able to stand up again in his life…”
…
Everyone was filled with confusion.
Zhou Wentian’s heart was also full of questions.
However, at this moment, Zhou Wentian’s heart was filled with even more excitement and joy. His son from before had returned.
“Dad, I’m fine now!”
Zhou Mao looked at Zhou Wentian.
“That’s great!”
Zhou Wentian smiled with relief and said, “As long as you are fine, I can rest easy.”
Zhou Mao also smiled.
“I saw silver needles on your legs just now. I presume a divine physician cured your legs. Where is he now? I must personally thank him.” Zhou Wentian said.
Just as Zhou Mao was about to speak, he suddenly remembered Jiang Yi’s prior instruction to not tell anyone.
“He has already left!” Zhou Mao said.
“This is the Governor’s Mansion. No one can just come and go freely!”
Zhou Wentian finished speaking and glanced at the adjacent courtyard, his brow furrowed slightly.
He then asked Zhou Mao, “Did that divine physician come from the next courtyard!”
Zhou Mao remained silent.
Zhou Wentian knew Zhou Mao very well. Seeing Zhou Mao’s expression, he knew his guess was correct.
“Your sister’s condition is very serious right now. I must find this divine physician to treat your sister. He was able to cure your legs, so his medical skills must be astonishing. He can definitely cure your sister as well.” Zhou Wentian’s heart was suddenly filled with hope.
“I want to go back and rest!”
After Zhou Mao finished speaking, he was supported by two servants as he left the courtyard.
After Zhou Wentian watched Zhou Mao leave, he immediately led the Zhou family members towards the adjacent courtyard.
At this moment, everyone in the courtyard was examining Zhou Yuanyuan’s medical records.
Upon seeing the Governor of Jiang Province, Zhou Wentian, personally arrive, they all immediately stood up and greeted Zhou Wentian with smiles.
“Everyone, I want to ask you one thing. Who went to the adjacent courtyard last night?” Zhou Wentian asked.
Upon hearing this, everyone began to shake their heads.
Seeing that no one admitted it, Zhou Wentian became even more confused.
He wondered why that person, who had cured his son’s legs, was unwilling to acknowledge it.
“Governor, did something happen in the adjacent courtyard?” Yuwen Sheng bravely asked.
“Last night, someone went to the adjacent courtyard and cured my son’s legs. I have come to express my gratitude, and I have no other intentions.” Zhou Wentian continued.
Upon hearing this, everyone’s faces showed surprised expressions.
Many of them had heard about Zhou Mao becoming crippled!
Some of them had even been treated by Zhou Mao before, but due to their mediocre medical skills, they had not been able to cure Zhou Mao’s legs.
“Governor, if that person could cure Young Master Zhou’s legs, then his medical skills must be astonishing!” an old man said.
“Exactly!”
Zhou Wentian said, “I’ve only come to find out who it was so I can properly reward him.”
Yuwen Sheng’s face showed a sly smile upon hearing this.
“Governor, it was I who cured Young Master Zhou’s legs!”
Yuwen Sheng stepped forward directly and said, without blushing or his heart skipping a beat, “I originally intended to keep this matter hidden, but since the Governor has personally come to inquire, I have nothing to conceal and can only admit it!”
As soon as these words were spoken, all eyes turned towards Yuwen Sheng.
Many people wore expressions of doubt.
Many knew that Yuwen Sheng knew nothing about medicine, so how could he have cured Zhou Mao’s legs?
To cover up his lie, Yuwen Sheng continued, “I know you must think I’m lying because I don’t understand medicine at all. But what you don’t know is that I have been researching acupuncture techniques all these years.”
“Two years ago, I learned a very miraculous acupuncture technique from a master. This technique is exactly what can cure Young Master Zhou.”
Upon hearing this, people began to believe him.
Yuwen Sheng was actually talking nonsense. He had been resting in his room all last night.
He did this because he wanted to gain an advantage for free.
Years ago, Zhou Wentian had personally promised that whoever could cure Zhou Yuanyuan, the young person could become Zhou Wentian’s son-in-law, and if the person was too old, Zhou Wentian would become sworn brothers with them. They could choose either option.
Yuwen Sheng’s goal was to become Zhou Wentian’s son-in-law.
Zhou Wentian was the Governor of Jiang Province and held absolute power in Jiang Province.
If he could become Zhou Wentian’s son-in-law, it would be a leap to a better life.
Zhou Wentian saw that Yuwen Sheng was handsome and had some fondness for him.
“Go and call Bingbing!” Zhou Wentian called out.
“Yes!”
A member of the Zhou family responded and left the courtyard.
A moment later, a woman wearing a long dress and with a beautiful appearance walked in from outside.
This woman was Zhou Wentian’s third daughter, Zhou Bingbing.
In Lishui City, she was considered one of the most beautiful women, the goddess in the hearts of countless men.
Yuwen Sheng was overjoyed upon seeing Zhou Bingbing’s beauty!
“This is Yuwen Sheng. He healed your brother’s legs. Are you willing to marry him?”
“I will not force you. If you are willing, then your marriage will be settled. If you are not willing, I will find another way to give Yuwen Sheng an explanation.” Zhou Wentian asked. Suzhou Novel Network
“He’s not bad-looking, but I can’t agree right now. I need to get to know him for a while before I can make a decision!” Zhou Bingbing said.
“Alright!”
Zhou Wentian nodded.
“Miss Zhou, hello!” Yuwen Sheng quickly greeted Zhou Bingbing.
Zhou Bingbing smiled and nodded.
“Master Yuwen, I would like to ask you for another favor. You should know that my other daughter, Zhou Yuanyuan, her condition is worsening. I hope you can help save her.”
“Don’t worry, after you have cured my daughter, I will definitely reward you handsomely.”
Zhou Wentian directly addressed Yuwen Sheng as Master Yuwen.
“Uncle, I dare not accept the title of Master. From now on, we are family, and I will do my best, so please don’t worry.” Yuwen Sheng said.
Yuwen Sheng appeared calm on the surface, but he was starting to panic inside.
He didn’t know any medical skills at all.
