Chapter 126: I am Bai Zhi's fiancé

Bai Zhi knew that her maternal grandfather was a man who had seen the world and experienced great storms; no matter how shocking the news was, he could digest it.

Therefore, she spoke the truth without any concealment: "After I recognized you as my relative in my previous life, I studied medicine under you at Derentang in Bincheng. I remember all the medical skills you taught me. My uncle did not get along with you. My uncle was not talented in business and did not have the talent to study medicine. You placed all your hopes on me, hoping that I could inherit your mantle. I have not let you down and have made some small achievements in the field of traditional Chinese medicine."

Upon hearing this, Ye Rufeng stared at her with a look of utter disbelief. "Nonsense."

"I'm not lying."

Bai Zhi held Ye Rufeng's hand, looked him straight in the eye, and said, "In my past life, I was 23 years old when I recognized you as my relative and studied medicine with you for several years. Later, you handed over Derentang to me, and we also developed an antidote for hallucinogenic herbs on the border together. I also know that you have been in seclusion in Yunwu Mountain for the past few months to research a new prescription for myocardial infarction."

Ye Rufeng, "!!!"

Looking at the youthful face that resembled his daughter in his memory, Ye Rufeng shook his head and murmured, "My daughter has never been married."

"She was married."

With tears in her eyes, Bai Zhi explained, "My father's name is Bai Zhicheng, and he lives in Dawan Village. The reason my mother kept the fact that she was married until her death was because she had married the wrong person and was afraid that you would be ashamed if you found out. My uncle has already gone to my father to verify it."

Bai Zhi looked at Ye Rufeng with an extremely sincere expression, "Grandpa, I really am your granddaughter. Look how much I look like my mother."

"By the way, look at the jade pendant you gave my mother, I always carry it with me."

Bai Zhi took out the jade pendant she was wearing and handed it to Ye Rufeng. When Ye Rufeng saw the jade pendant, his hands trembled as he took it, his eyes filled with turbulent emotions.

"How could this be...?"

Bai Zhi said, "Grandpa, the reason my mother hid the fact that she was married was probably because she didn't want you to get into trouble because of her. After all, you were all in a precarious situation at that time."

Ye Rufeng looked at Bai Zhi in disbelief, amazed by her words.

"You say you have memories of your past life?" he asked with difficulty.

Bai Zhi nodded, "Yes."

"I know why there's a rift between you and my uncle."

Bai Zhi lowered her eyes and sighed, "My uncle resents you for not taking good care of my grandmother when you were in the cowshed, which caused her to not be able to survive in the cowshed. Because of this, my uncle has never been able to forgive you."

Bai Zhi's words nearly caused Ye Rufeng to lose control of his emotions.

Because of the intense emotional fluctuations, his body was trembling.

Bai Zhi helped him up and changed the subject at the right time. She leaned closer to him and whispered mysteriously, "I also know that you've been treating people's illnesses and robbing the rich to help the poor these past few years, making a lot of money from wealthy families."

Ye Rufeng looked at her as if he'd seen a ghost, "!!!"

Later, a natural disaster occurred in a certain place. Her grandfather took out some money to buy medicine and took her to the disaster area for relief and treatment.

Bai Zhi clung to Ye Rufeng's arm and said coquettishly, "Grandpa, you should believe me now, right?"

......

Lu Ye and Xie Zheng waited outside for about an hour, but Bai Zhi still didn't come out.

Xie Zheng paced back and forth, already losing his composure.

He glanced at the man standing there motionless and said irritably, "Why don't you go in and check? Is Bai Zhi alright? You're really careless."

After all, we're in an unfamiliar place, so we don't want to run into bad people.

Lu Ye had just witnessed Bai Zhi enter the house with an old man with a braid. He believed Bai Zhi's words unconditionally, only knowing that he was Bai Zhi's maternal grandfather, so he didn't think much of it.

Bai Zhi told them to wait, and he would wait.

At this moment, Xie Zheng's words seemed to remind him, and his heart jumped into his throat.

Lu Ye walked to the fence gate, about to call out to Bai Zhi.

Bai Zhi came out.

She said, "Sorry to keep you waiting, please come in."

Upon hearing this, Xie Zheng ran two steps forward and entered the fenced yard with Lu Ye.

At this moment, Ye Rufeng's emotions had returned to normal, and he sat in the chair with a cold expression.

Bai Zhi gestured towards Lu Ye and Xie Zheng, and introduced them, "These two are my patients, and they accompanied me to see you."

Xie Zheng, with a江湖 (jianghu, a term referring to the world of martial arts and chivalry) air, clasped his hands in greeting and said, "Hello, Dr. Ye, I have long admired your name."

Lu Ye stood there, his tall figure imposing, his handsome face sincere and polite. “Grandpa Ye, I am Bai Zhi’s fiancé, and also one of her patients.”

"fiancé?"

Bai Zhi hadn't expected Lu Ye to be so blunt. She coughed lightly and had to explain, "The engagement was arranged by my grandfather before he passed away. I didn't tell you before."

"What illnesses do they have?" Ye Rufeng glanced at the two young men and asked.

"Greetings, Dr. Ye." Xie Zheng stepped forward and bowed to Ye Rufeng in greeting.

Bai Zhi had no choice but to introduce him first, "This man's arm was injured by a sharp blade. The wound has healed, but the brachial plexus nerve was damaged. He needs acupuncture to repair the nerve, otherwise it will leave a lasting problem."

Xie Zheng hurriedly said, "I am a music composer, and I will be playing guitar and piano often in the future. Dr. Bai Zhi said that if it cannot be cured, my hands will shake in the future."

Xie Zheng eagerly sat down in the chair and stretched out his hand, "Please take a look at me quickly."

Ye Rufeng took Xie Zheng's pulse and examined his arm.

The final conclusion was the same as with Bai Zhi: "Acupuncture is necessary."

"Would it be alright for you to give me acupuncture?" Xie Zheng asked Ye Rufeng with bright, expectant eyes.

Ye Rufeng, "No time,"

Xie Zheng was embarrassed, and Bai Zhi reminded Lu Ye, "It's your turn."

"good."

Lu Ye walked over and sat down.

When Master Ye took his pulse, his facial expression...

A mix of emotions—gratitude, confusion, and more—was present, with Bai Zhi offering timely reminders.

“Grandpa, this is the hallucinogenic herbal poison I just mentioned to you.”

"oh......."

Once Bai Zhi accepted Lu Ye's identity, Ye Rufeng's expression relaxed, and he casually asked,

How is the treatment going?

Bai Zhi replied, "I haven't stopped taking the medication. My condition is basically stable, but the toxins in my body haven't been cleared yet, so I need to continue treatment."

Ye Rufeng's hand remained on Lu Ye's wrist as he pondered, his gaze towards Bai Zhi filled with disbelief.

To be honest, he had heard of so-called hallucinogenic drugs, but there was no treatment for them. This girl actually said that in their past life they had developed a traditional Chinese medicine detoxification therapy, and she was treating this soldier.

After treating Lu Ye, Bai Zhi said to the two men, "There's an empty room over there. You two can go and rest for a while. I'm going to talk to my grandfather. I'll cook dinner later."

"By the way, Lu Ye, look around, there should be a clay pot for brewing medicine outside. You can light the honeycomb briquette stove in the yard to brew the medicine for you."

"good."

Ye Rufeng stared at the little girl who was stealing the show, his expression strange.

After Lu Ye and Xie Zheng left, Bai Zhi told the old man a lot about their past and present lives, which made Ye Rufeng's expression quite complicated.

I don't know whether I should believe this girl's words.

He has a granddaughter...

If her identity is real, then it is a blessing from heaven.

"Grandpa, the address I wrote for you is this village, how come you didn't receive the letter?"

Bai Zhi looked puzzled, trying hard to recall if she had missed any information or filled in the wrong postal code when she wrote the letter.

"There was a black and white photo of my mother in that envelope. I was afraid I would lose the photo."

Ye Rufeng now seemed to completely trust Bai Zhi. Upon hearing that there was a photo of his daughter in the envelope, he also took it seriously. "I'll go to the village to take a look."
