Chapter 229: Breaking the Cocoon, Reborn (Part 15)
So Yun Feng was indeed right; if it weren’t for Jing’er today, they wouldn’t have been able to enter the Liuxian Pavilion.
Since its establishment, Liuxian Pavilion has never welcomed any external guests. Baihua Garden is quite famous in the capital, yet no one has ever seen what Liuxian Pavilion looks like.
Su Yaogeng wasn’t curious about Liuxian Pavilion; she only saw Su Yu breaking the norm for Jing’er as a sign of his importance to her. With him protecting her in the future, she could be at ease.
After finishing the meal, Han Jing left An Chuxue at Yao Xiang Pavilion. On one hand, she could continue discussing the surgery with Yun Feng; after the surgery, Yun Feng always looked at An Chuxue with bright eyes. On the other hand, if Manager Qi showed any abnormalities, she could attend to them promptly.
Then she left Baihua Garden together with Su Yaogeng.
Before leaving, Han Jing gave Su Yu a rather peculiar look. She actually had a very big question she wanted to ask Su Yu, but with so many people present, it wasn’t convenient for her to pull him aside for a conversation. She had to wait for the next time.
On the way back, Han Jing and Su Yaogeng were in a carriage: "Mother, this time you should believe An’an truly has the ability, right?"
Su Yaogeng nodded and said, "Even now, I still find it somewhat unbelievable. Jing’er, how does Xue’er have such extraordinary medical skills?"
It’s not that they are magical, but they’re truly unimaginable; the things she does are beyond ordinary people’s thinking.
In Nanyao Country, most women are skilled in needlework, but who ever thought of applying sewing techniques to stitch wounds!
Han Jing thought that since An Chuxue would stay at the Princess Mansion and she needed to perform surgery on Su Yaogeng, they would be spending much time together in the future. She couldn’t always let Su Yaogeng hold doubts; a suitable excuse must be found to persuade her to completely trust An Chuxue.
"Mother, actually An’an’s past is very pitiful." Han Jing told Su Yaogeng the story An Chuxue had once narrated, though she made slight modifications: "She often stayed home alone. Once, she accidentally helped an old man who came to ask for water. The old man, seeing her pitiful, secretly taught her some rather special healing methods when no one was around. For example, stitching wounds; long wounds are hard to heal even with good medicine, but if they are stitched, the body’s own repairing ability can accelerate the healing speed. After teaching her for several years, the old man disappeared. Even An’an didn’t know his name; he was always elusive, and even when An’an asked around, no one had seen him. An’an said she didn’t even know if she was dreaming, but she learned everything he taught her. However, her healing methods are so unconventional that people didn’t believe her. She was almost sold off; after escaping, she tried practicing medicine, but not many believed in her, wasting her skills in vain. I’ve already told Yun Feng to have An’an learn medicine with her, so she can integrate both methods. In the future, more people would be willing to believe her."
After Han Jing explained it this way, Su Yaogeng couldn’t help but sigh, "What a poor child, she’s been through so much hardship. It’s rare for her to grow up in such an environment and still maintain a pure heart."
