Surprise! I emptied the emperor's private treasury before exile

Chapter 88: The Original Body Martial Arts Competition

By the time the effect of the medicine in Chu Ci's body wore off, Doctor Hua was already itching to find out. The first case of a poison being cured was right before his eyes, so how could he not investigate it carefully?

One of the purposes of the Purple Envoy's visit this time was to investigate Chu Ci. He would not miss such a good opportunity. So, he said, "Master Fan, do you mind if I take a look too?"

The Fifth Prince was also interested in such an interesting thing, so he echoed, "And this prince."

Could Fan Jingrui refuse? The answer is obviously no.

So, the group went straight to the garden.

"Jump with all your might. I'd like to see how high you can jump." As soon as they arrived at the garden, Doctor Hua was the first to make the request.

Chu Ci nodded, then bent his knees and jumped up.

However, even though she was mentally prepared, she did not expect that she could jump more than two meters high.

Although Chu Ci had reached higher places in her previous life, she had no safety guarantee at all at this moment. "Ah, help me—"

"Cheng Yun, go and save them!" The head of the Chu family had never expected that a person who had never practiced martial arts could jump to such a height.

The head of the Chu family immediately ran towards Chu Ci, and Chu Chengyun followed closely behind.

Both of them had extraordinary martial arts skills. Just when Chu Ci was about to fall on the eaves of the garden pavilion with a scream, they caught Chu Ci steadily.

"That was a close call." Although Chu Ci was safe and sound, she was still quite frightened. At the same time, she was still confused: "So... I have practiced martial arts before? Why do I have no memory of it at all?"

The Fifth Prince once again realized how unreliable Chu Ci was, and couldn't help but ask, "Have you ever practiced martial arts? Don't you have any idea?"

Chu Ci nodded: "No impression."

Upon hearing this, Doctor Hua hurriedly felt Chu Ci's pulse and then said, "There is nothing abnormal with your pulse."

Doctor Hua was unable to find the problem, and the expressions of the people present became solemn. Chu Chengyun couldn't help but say, "Old man Hua, why don't you check again? Maybe it's a misdiagnosis?"

Doctor Hua had failed Chu Ci once before and did not refute it, but when he examined him again, he got the same result.

Several people looked at each other, and Fan Jingrui said decisively: "Madam, can you try to lift this stone table? Maybe you really have never practiced martial arts?"

Chu Ci really couldn't guarantee this, after all, she was not the original body: "Then I'll try."

It was really unexpected. I tried my best but couldn't move the stone table at all.

Now in Chu Ci's hands, it was like a fake table made of tofu. She lifted it lightly, and the stone table was lifted up easily.

This time, not only the Fifth Prince, but even the Purple-robed Envoy was shocked.

He even had a wild imagination and asked Doctor Hua: "Doctor Hua, is there any medicine or method in this world that can change a person's memory?"

Hearing this, Doctor Hua shook his head and said, "There are many ways to make someone lose their memory, but it is almost impossible to change a person's memory."

However, apart from Chu Ci's situation, the Purple Envoy could not think of any other possibilities. "Doctor Hua thinks that Madam Fan's current behavior is like that of someone who has never practiced martial arts?"

Doctor Hua naturally couldn't go against his conscience and say no. But if he insisted that Chu Ci had practiced martial arts, Doctor Hua would find it difficult to say it.

Just when Doctor Hua was in a dilemma, Xiao Wu stepped forward, bowed to everyone and said, "Shuzhou Huaining County Magistrate Shen Zhengqing and his daughter came to ask for an audience."

Chu Ci seemed to have heard the call of a savior. She put down the stone table in her hands and ordered, "Hurry up and ask the nurse to take the child to the front hall."

After saying that, Chu Ci pulled Fan Jingrui and hurried to the front hall, looking as if there was a vicious dog chasing them.

The Chu family head and Chu Chengyun had a thick filter for Chu Ci. Even so, they just smiled and said, "After all, he is still a child at heart."

Doctor Hua didn't say much, just left a sentence: "I will go back and check the medical books." Then he turned and left.

When the Fifth Prince and the Purple-Robed Envoy saw this, they realized that they could not get anything out of Divine Doctor Hua, so they simply walked leisurely to the front hall hand in hand.

At this moment, in the front hall, Shen was kneeling in front of Chu Ci, begging desperately: "I beg you to take Si Yin'er in! I promise you and swear that no matter what, I will never take this child back."

Shen Zhengqing behind her had an unpleasant expression on his face. "Suniang, do you really want to disregard the Shen family's reputation and trample on your father's face?"

Su Niang knelt on the ground, her eyes red with hatred. "You are the ones who pushed me to this point. The beast from the Yang family is Yin'er's biological father, but he can treat Yin'er like that, let alone his stepfather?"

Chu Ci was speechless and slammed the table fiercely, "I say, you two father and daughter, that's enough."

The Shen family father and daughter came to their senses and realized that this was the Chu family. So they immediately restrained their emotions, and Shen Zhengqing turned his head away in embarrassment.

Seeing this, Fan Jingrui hurriedly handed the tea to the other party. Shen Zhengqing was worrying about how to hide his embarrassment, and immediately picked up the teacup.

Seeing that the father and daughter had calmed down, Chu Ci said, "You, your name is Su Niang, right? Why do you think I would adopt your child?"

"I just wanted to take a gamble. Yin'er was taken away by the thief because I failed to protect her. I still don't have the ability to protect her in the future. I am not a qualified mother."

At this point, tears welled up in Su Niang's eyes like pearls falling from a broken string.

Chu Ci had seen people cry since he traveled through time, but this was the first time that he felt a dull pain in his heart when seeing someone crying.

However, Chu Ci still did not give in, "Take him away, people's hearts are fickle, and so am I."

"No, please. I can give you silver, every year, two thousand taels a year." Seeing that Chu Ci was unmoved, Su Niang increased the offer step by step.

Shen Zhengqing had a worried look on his face. Seeing his daughter so crazy, he wanted to scold her, but he couldn't bear it in the end.

After thinking for a long time, Shen Zhengqing tried to say, "My dear nephew, can you let Yin'er stay in the Fan family for a while? Maybe by then Su Niang will have figured it out."

This person would rather let his granddaughter live in someone else's home than give in and give his daughter a chance to breathe.

Chu Ci felt annoyed, and his face suddenly darkened. "We saved people out of kindness, but we are not fools. So, don't make me repeat it a second time, take the people away. What you two do next is your business."

Shen Zhengqing turned to look at Fan Jingrui, and Fan Jingrui said, "Sir Shen, the reason why I treated you with courtesy before was just for the sake of your cousin, Uncle Shen. But Uncle Shen's face cannot include raising a child for someone else."

Shen Zhengqing almost lost face.

But Fan Jingrui did not give up: "Master Shen, have you forgotten that my wife and I have been married for less than a year."
