The general's wife knows medicine

Chapter 146 Returning to Mother’s Home

Lu Gang and the village head had nothing to do, so they sat at the entrance of the village and chatted.

Tang Peipei saw them at a glance when he came back.

He waved to them and called out, "Grandpa, Uncle Lizheng."

The carriage stopped in front of the two of them, and Tang Peipei got off the carriage.

Lu Gang hadn't seen his granddaughter for a long time and was very happy.

I looked her up and down, and felt relieved to see that she hadn't changed much.

I heard that Tang Peipei went to Qianzhou to treat the epidemic, which made him very worried.

The village head smiled and said to Tang Peipei, "You are finally back. Your grandfather was very worried."

Hearing what the head of the village said, Lu Gang coughed lightly with some embarrassment and said, "My granddaughter is back. I will take her home first."

The head of the village knew that Tang Peipei had gone to Qianzhou and her family must be worried. Now that she was back, she had to go home first to see them.

It also reassures the family.

He waved his hand and said, "Go back quickly and let your family take a look. It will make you feel more at ease."

Tang Peipei smiled and said, "Okay, Uncle Lizheng, I'll come to see you another day."

The head of the village nodded. He was very touched that Tang Peipei was still as polite to him as before even though she was the general's wife.

Tang Peipei did not take the carriage again. She asked the driver to send Nanny Yuan and Xiaotuanzi back first. She accompanied Lu Gang and walked slowly back home.

Lu Gang asked, "Why did you come back alone? Where is the general?"

Tang Peipei said with an unnatural expression: "Oh, he just came back and has a lot of things to deal with. Maybe he will come to see you in two days."

Lu Gang nodded and said, "Hey, he just came back and didn't let him rest. Tell him not to rush over. Let him have a good rest after finishing his work and don't be too tired."

"I know, Grandpa."

Lu Gang asked some more questions about Tang Peipei's trip to Qianzhou.

Tang Peipei didn't go into too much detail, only gave a brief account of what was happening in the Qianzhou epidemic area.

In fact, Lu Gang really wanted to ask, where did Tang Peipei learn her medical skills?

When she heard that Tang Peipei had gone to Qianzhou to treat the epidemic, her mother panicked and said, "How could this child, with her limited abilities, go to Qianzhou? How could she treat the epidemic?"

They also thought that Tang Peipei only knew some simple ones, and because Tang Peipei said she had seen them in a book, no one doubted her.

However, the epidemic in Qianzhou was so serious that so many doctors were helpless, but she actually cured these people.

Lu Gang looked at Tang Peipei from time to time, which made Tang Peipei feel uneasy.

She also knew in her heart that it was probably because of her medical skills that made Lu Gang doubt her.

When they were almost home, they saw Tang's mother looking out the gate. They thought it was Nanny Yuan who came back, so she was probably standing there.

Seeing Tang Peipei, Tang's mother hurried over and looked her up and down carefully.

Then he said, "It's okay, it's okay." Then he slapped Tang Peipei on the arm again.

She said angrily, "You are really capable. There is an epidemic in Qianzhou and so many doctors can't cure it, but you insist on taking the risk. Do you know what I will do if something happens to you?"

As he spoke, he began to cry.

Tang Peipei quickly hugged her and comforted her, "Mom, don't cry. It's my fault. I'm not good. Please stop crying."

It would have been better if she didn't try to persuade her, but this persuasion made Tang's mother cry even more sadly.

Tang Peipei didn't know what to do and could only look at Lu Gang who was standing aside.

Lu Gang also knew that crying at the door was a bit inappropriate, so he said in a calm voice: "Okay, if you have anything to say, let's go home and talk about it. Standing at the door of this house makes people laugh."

After saying that, he went towards the yard first.

Tang Peipei also took the opportunity to persuade: "Yes, mother, let's go in and talk about it, okay?"

Only then did Tang's mother stop crying and was supported by Tang Peipei into the yard.

All the family members were in the yard, and there was a strange woman standing behind Lu Lifeng. She looked timid, as if anyone could bully her.

Tang Peipei didn't have the heart to care about anything else right now, so she just pretended not to see it.

He helped Tang's mother into the main room.

Liu Yeling went to bring in some tea, poured a cup for Tang Peipei and said, "Drink some tea first and talk slowly."

Then he signaled with his eyes, asking Tang Peipei to coax Tang's mother and stop making her sad.

Tang Peipei smiled at Liu Yeling, indicating that she understood.

Liu Yeling poured another cup for Tang's mother and said, "Sister, have some tea."

Tang's mother took it and nodded gratefully to Liu Yeling.

After taking a sip, he said, "Tell me what you want to say." His tone was not as angry as at the beginning.

Tang Peipei smiled and was about to speak.

Tang's mother just gave him a look.

Tang Peipei's words were stuck in her throat, unable to move forward or backward.

I thought Tang's mother was going to say something, but she turned her head and stopped looking at her.

Tang Peipei was helpless.

She now regretted going to Qianzhou. It was such trouble.

Look, it’s her first day back, and she just coaxed the princess, and now she has to coax her own mother.

Today, she spends her time being humble and trying to please others.

Tang Peipei smiled and looked at her mother and said, "Mom, wasn't I worried about the general at that time? He had been in Qianzhou for so long and there was no news. I was worried that something had happened to him, wasn't it?"

Tang's mother turned around and looked at her and said, "You're worried about him? But do you know that we're worried about you? You just went to such a dangerous place without even saying hello."

In Tang's mother's heart, Tang Peipei is her biological daughter after all, so naturally her daughter is more important to her.

She was also worried when there was no news about Mu Jintang.

However, this does not mean that she is willing to let her daughter take the risk.

Tang Peipei had no choice but to say, "Mom, I went to Qianzhou only because I was sure. I know you are worried about me, and I also know that I shouldn't leave without saying goodbye. However, I didn't have time to think too much at that time."

Tang's mother looked at her and asked seriously, "You said you were sure. How sure are you? Can the prescriptions you read in the medical books be as good as those old doctors?"

Tang Peipei choked. It seemed that she had really acted impulsively.

But since it has come to this, there is nothing we can do.

The fact that she was an excellent doctor was no longer a secret since she cured the epidemic in Qianzhou.

So, instead of letting them slowly become suspicious of her, it would be better to make things clear as soon as possible.

Therefore, Tang Peipei had no choice but to bring out the same excuse she had given Mu Jintang, saying, "Mom, actually, there is something I have never told you. I didn't learn my medical skills from medical books. I learned them from an old man I met by chance. But he had told me before that no one should know of his existence, so I lied to you."

Tang's mother was stunned and asked, "Are you saying that someone taught you medical skills?"

Tang Peipei nodded.

Tang's mother looked at Lu Gang who was sitting in the upper seat, and Lu Gang happened to be looking at her.

Tang's mother turned around and asked Tang Peipei, "Where is the old man you mentioned now?"

Tang Peipei shook her head, "I don't know either. He passed on all his medical skills to me and then left. He didn't tell me where he was going. He only left me a message, asking me not to look for him."

Tang's mother found it a little unbelievable, but she was no longer so angry with Tang Peipei.
