Chapter 38 The Only Witness
Tian Mi could sense Huang Yuanying’s intention, but she didn’t want to complicate things. She was a classy little rich woman and wasn’t looking for a high, handsome guy in her own neighborhood.

So, she braved her oddly shaped face, holding little Tian Lin, and went with Xu Feiyan and Chen Miaomiao to attend a class to learn how to write. Now, Tian Mi had recognized many characters of this era, but she still needed to practice writing. However, everyone was just using bamboo sticks to practice writing on the ground.

Her appearance startled everyone! They all gathered around.

Cui Daniu asked hesitantly, “Are you Sister Tian Mi?”

Tian Mi was speechless.

Xu Feiyan shouted, “What are you looking at? What are you looking at? Sister Tian Mi was just stung by a bee; she’ll be fine in a couple of days. We’re here for class!”

Huang Yuanying, upon seeing Tian Mi’s appearance, was also taken aback, but he quickly realized this was a bee sting and continued the class without showing any emotion.

Tian Mi’s vegetable garden was growing very well; the small greens were ready to be stir-fried and eaten. Other vegetables were also blossoming, which looked very promising.

Tian Mi was busy pollinating the watermelons, removing the male flowers to assist the female flowers with pollen. It was nearly an acre of land, and it really wore her out. She didn’t trust anyone else to do this delicate work, so she had to do it herself.

After a few days, Tian Mi’s face had recovered and transformed back into that of a fairy. With her frequent soaking in the spring water and drinking the spring water, she now weighed over a hundred pounds, her skin glowed with radiance, her eyes sparkled like stars, and she was as beautiful as a water lily.

Not long ago, she dug up a good amount of medicinal herbs and called a few girlfriends to help her prepare the medicine.

Just as they were in the middle of making a batch of medicine for treating colds, Zuo Zhengfeng hurried over.

“Miss Tian, Miss Tian, help! Help!”

Tian Mi’s heart raced, and she asked, “Who died?”

Zuo Zhengfeng said, “General Jin is seriously injured and might not make it. You need to come with me!”

Tian Mi breathed a sigh of relief and replied, “Alright!”

She slung her satchel on her back, mounted her tall horse, and followed Zuo Zhengfeng.

Now, both of her little treasures could drink goat milk. After the mother sheep drank spring water, they produced plenty of nutritious milk.

After the humiliation in front of so many people, thinking about it made Tian Mi angry.

This time, she had to make sure everyone saw her, letting them know it was an accident; she didn’t normally look like that.

And that man was the only one who knew they had been bandits and was also the only victim of their bandit days. This was a serious issue! She needed to come up with a way to deal with it.

Naturally, she wouldn’t resort to killing to silence him, but she could think of a way to keep him quiet.

He wouldn’t dare to say how he had been treated or what had happened.

From the mountains to the official road, they were heading in the opposite direction of Qinghe County.

Tian Mi asked, “Who was that general the other day? He looked quite fierce.”

Zuo Zhengfeng replied, “He is one of the emperor’s four princes, the Prince of Ding. He grew up at the border, not fierce at all.”

What the heck—he’s not fierce? He wants to kill someone upon meeting! I should have known he wasn’t an ordinary person, but I didn’t expect him to be this extraordinary.

I need to think of a way to handle this. My head is important.

Zuo Zhengfeng said, “Bai Dongyuan has retreated to Qinghe County now; it’s safe outside, and you all can come out of the valley.”

Finally, light was on the horizon. Tian Mi’s rich woman lifestyle could finally see hope. When the time comes, she would buy an entire street in Qinghe County, hum! Let them see the might of a nouveau riche.

Buying a shop would be as easy as picking cabbage. Except for this ugly one, she wanted them all. Just to dazzle their eyes!

Even just thinking about it was exhilarating!

Qinghe County was suitable for doing business, easily accessible by water, plus she was preparing various skills and materials; it would be hard not to make a fortune!

Tian Mi was filled with anticipation as they rode for more than ten kilometers and arrived at the military camp. The camp was built against the mountains, previously a village, and was filled with soldiers. It was clear this was not a place to intrude.

Zuo Zhengfeng took her to a spacious room and said, “General Jin was ambushed while pursuing the enemy, and now his life is in danger. You must save him.”

Inside the room, there was a young woman standing by the bed, crying inconsolably.

Zuo Zhengfeng said, “This is General Jin’s sister, Jin Wenwen.”

Zuo Zhengfeng continued, “Wenwen, this is Doctor Tian.”

Jin Wenwen looked at the young and beautiful Tian Mi, unable to connect her with being a doctor. However, she didn’t dare to say anything; her brother was in such a critical condition that she feared no one could help.

Despite her doubts, she stepped aside, and Tian Mi approached to assess the situation, asking, “Where is he injured?”

Zuo Zhengfeng replied, “In the abdomen and shoulder.” Tian Mi rolled up his clothing to check the injuries. They were severe; the bleeding had temporarily stopped, but the wounds were red and might become infected. The wounds were not stitched, and could reopen at any moment, making it hard to stop the bleeding. His life was truly hanging by a thread.

After examining him, Tian Mi, seeing Zuo Zhengfeng’s anxious expression, asked, “Doctor Tian, how is his condition? Can he be saved?”

After adjusting the injured man’s clothing, Tian Mi said, “Since you say I am a divine doctor, then of course I can save him.”

Zuo Zhengfeng and Jin Wenwen both looked overjoyed.

However, Tian Mi did not start to treat him!

Zuo Zhengfeng quickly said, “Doctor Tian, don’t worry. As long as you save General Jin, just name your price; you won’t be shortchanged.”

This person really is something; does he think I’m that greedy for money? Life is more important!

Tian Mi replied, “Since I don’t know the identities of you and the others, if I’ve offended anyone, could you please ask His Highness the Prince of Ding for a written guarantee?”

Zuo Zhengfeng said, “What offense? You all saved me in the valley!”

Tian Mi ignored him. You were just providing cover; the offense I committed has nothing to do with you.

Zuo Zhengfeng recalled how she had frightened them in the valley that day and thought that was what she was concerned about, so he said, “Doctor Tian, don’t worry. The Prince of Ding is not a petty person; you were just careless that day, and he didn’t take it to heart.”

Thinking about that day made Tian Mi feel embarrassed, but life was more important! She said, “Just write a written agreement! This person’s injuries cannot wait. Whenever you bring the agreement, I will treat him! Just write that if there was any offense before today, it will be forgiven and never mentioned again.”

Zuo Zhengfeng didn’t understand why it had to be like this; after all, General Jin was waiting to be rescued. He could only go find the Prince of Ding to discuss this matter.

Bai Mucheng knew how serious Jin Ming’s injuries were and asked, “Are you sure she can really save him?”

Zuo Zhengfeng answered, “She said she can, so she should be able to!”

Bai Mucheng thought about her request; it was no different from his. Was he really such a petty person? He waved his hand and immediately wrote an agreement that all past grievances and misunderstandings would be forgiven and never mentioned again.

After writing it, he looked at the document, feeling that something was off, but since General Jin was waiting for his life to be saved, he didn’t think too much about it and handed it to Zuo Zhengfeng.

Tian Mi received the agreement and felt a secret joy, carefully placing it in her small satchel.

Then she took out a small bottle from the satchel; inside was spring water, which she used to clean the wounds again, applied the medicine, and then took out a needle and thread to stitch them up. This was the first time Jin Wenwen had seen someone stitching a wound and was quite frightened. Just as she was about to intervene, Zuo Zhengfeng stopped her.

“Don’t disturb Doctor Tian; she has saved many people before.”

Jin Wenwen could only watch anxiously, praying that she could save her older brother.

Tian Mi took quite a while to stitch up all the wounds, then checked his pulse, which had improved quite a bit.

She then took out a tonic she had made earlier to replenish his energy and blood and gave it to him.

She said, “Rest well and eat light; it shouldn’t be a big problem. In seven days, let your doctor come and cut the stitches out.”

Zuo Zhengfeng said, “Once you save someone, you must see it through. It will trouble you to run another trip then!”

Tian Mi thought about the agreement in her satchel and felt reassured that this business was worth it, so she replied, “Alright!”

Just as Zuo Zhengfeng was about to escort Tian Mi out, Bai Mucheng pushed the door open and entered.
