Chapter 228 Obtaining the Marriage Certificate
Chapter 228 Obtaining the Marriage Certificate
Xie Dan was overjoyed to learn that Yun Miao was pregnant.
He did all the housework by himself; Yunmiao did nothing but treat patients.
Yun Family Village is located on a mountain, and the medicinal herbs used are usually collected from the mountain. One day, Xie Dan went to collect herbs and never returned.
Since Xie Dan left, there have been many versions of the story in the village. Some say he fell off a cliff and died, and was eaten by wild animals. Others say he was taken away by his enemies, and still others say he ran away.
Yunmiao waited for Xie Dan, but half a year passed and she still hadn't returned. Now that she was about to give birth, she had no choice but to go and stay with her aunt.
On her way to her aunt's house, Yunmiao started having stomach pains halfway there and couldn't walk anymore.
Later, with the help of a passing couple, the woman gave birth to a boy in the wilderness, using her own clothes as a shield.
She saw it clearly at the time; the boy had a red birthmark on his chest.
"Young lady, why are you alone?" the woman asked curiously.
“My husband is dead, and I’m going to stay with relatives.”
After Yunmiao said that, everything suddenly went black, and she knew nothing more.
When she woke up, she found herself in a pharmacy, lying in bed, with a middle-aged doctor taking her pulse.
"Girl, are you awake?"
The doctor was Lu Wenguang.
"Sir, did you save me?"
Yunmiao looked at Lu Wenguang with gratitude in her eyes.
"Yes! A couple brought you here. You were unconscious at the time. After taking your pulse, I found that you had caught a cold during childbirth. If you hadn't come in time, you probably would have died long ago."
Upon hearing the word "partum," Yunmiao remembered the child she had given birth to halfway through her journey. She propped herself up to sit up and looked at Lu Wenguang, asking, "Where is my child?"
“I didn’t see your child. They left after they brought you here. I didn’t see the child.” Lu Wenguang looked at Yun Miao with certainty, while surprise appeared in his eyes.
Yunmiao cried and recounted her experiences in detail. Only then did Lu Wenguang realize how unfortunate she was. When he heard that she was also studying traditional Chinese medicine, he decided to keep her with him.
“Girl, don’t worry, stay here with me first. After you’ve recovered, you can go find your child.”
Yunmiao looked at Lu Wenguang, tears streaming down her face, and said thank you.
After that, Yunmiao stayed with Lu Wenguang. After recovering, she helped him with his work. Since Yunmiao already knew a little about traditional Chinese medicine, she quickly gained Lu Wenguang's approval.
One day, Yunmiao looked at Lu Wenguang and said, "Sir, I'm going to find my child. I'll come back to thank you after I find him."
Lu Wenguang looked at her and said, "Go ahead, and remember! Whether the child is found or not, you must come back. I've decided that you're my apprentice."
At that time, Lu Xinjun's mother was also there. She held Yunmiao's hand and said, "Bring the child over and I'll help you take care of him. You and my husband can practice medicine well. From now on, we'll be a family."
After Yunmiao's intelligence and kindness were recognized by Lu Wenguang and his wife, the two wanted to adopt her as their goddaughter, but they did not say so at the time, wanting to wait until she found her child.
Before leaving, Yunmiao nodded with tears in her eyes: "I understand, Madam!"
"Okay, go ahead, be careful on the road."
Yunmiao went to look for her child, but after three months, there was still no news of the child, and his whereabouts were unknown.
Completely despondent, Yun Miao didn't go home but went straight to Lu Wenguang's house.
At that time, Lu Wenguang had not yet moved to the mountain. He had opened a clinic in the town. After she returned, Lu Wenguang and his wife treated her like their own daughter.
After losing her child, Yunmiao once again received the warmth of her family, and her grief gradually subsided.
From then on, she recognized Lu Wenguang as her master and his wife as her master's wife.
In those days, a master and his wife were like one's own parents. Yunmiao also knew that Lu Wenguang had a son studying abroad.
Yunmiao was dutiful to both her parents until her master's wife died. When her master's wife took her hand and told her to keep the fact that she had given birth a secret and remarry, she shook her head and said, "Master's wife, I will spend my life taking care of my master. I will not get married."
Lu Wenguang cared for and loved his apprentice, who had a troubled life. Later, with Yun Miao's help, his reputation grew and he became a respected traditional Chinese medicine doctor in the area.
Seeing the birthmark on Lu Mingxuan's chest tonight, Yun Miao couldn't sleep. She kept thinking about that birthmark. Could he be the child she lost all those years ago?
After a sleepless night, Yun Miaotian got up early to cook. Regardless of whether the child was her son or not, she wanted to cherish and love him.
After getting up, Lu Mingxuan went downstairs and habitually went to the kitchen. He saw Yun Miao cooking and asked, "Auntie, what delicious food are you making?"
"I made red bean buns."
Yunmiao just wanted to test whether Lu Mingxuan would like red bean buns, since she liked them when she was a child.
"Red bean buns, great! I haven't had them in ages."
Yunmiao looked up at him and asked, "Do you like to eat this too?"
"I love it. When I was abroad, I searched for most of the city for a year but couldn't find it."
Lu Mingxuan smiled and said.
"That's good!"
Yunmiao vaguely felt that the child in front of her was her own son.
Lu Wenguang went outside to exercise, and Lu Mingxuan casually asked, "Where's Grandpa?"
"Master went out for exercise. It's cold outside, so I told him to stay in the yard. Go out and check on him."
Lu Mingxuan agreed and left the living room.
As she watched his departing figure, Yun Miao stared wide-eyed, increasingly feeling that this child resembled Xie Dan from back then in some ways.
"Xie Dan, where are you? Thirty years have passed. Can you tell me if you're still alive? Where is our son? Tell me!"
After having his meal, Lu Mingxuan left Yushan with Yun Miao seeing him off.
Yunmiao did not tell Lu Wenguang about the birthmark on Lu Mingxuan's body that was exactly the same as her son's.
After all, it was just a guess. Besides, Lu Mingxuan was Lu Xinjun's biological son, and she had never heard anyone say that the child was adopted.
After returning to Jiangcheng, Lu Mingxuan drove to the city construction company.
He wanted to tell Song Qiao in person that the child in Qiao Wei's belly was not his, and that he would not marry anyone but her.
Arriving at the construction company building, Lu Mingxuan parked his car and went up into the office building.
When Song Qiao received Lu Mingxuan's call, she hurriedly came out of the lounge and waited for him in the office.
After seeing Lu Mingxuan, Zhang Yao took him to Song Qiao's office.
After pushing open the door, seeing her sitting there, Lu Mingxuan hurried over and said, "Qiaoqiao, let's go get our marriage certificate today."
Lu Mingxuan seemed very excited when the topic of getting their marriage certificate came up.
Did you bring your household registration booklet?
Song Qiao stood up and looked at Lu Mingxuan, asking.
She also made up her mind that no matter how much Qiao Hongwei tried to stop her, she would not give up on Lu Mingxuan. After a phone call with Wang Hong last night, she told her to seize happiness.
"No! I'll go home and get it right now, you wait for me!"
After hearing Lu Mingxuan's words, Song Qiao said, "I'll wait for you at the Civil Affairs Bureau. Come find me there after you get it!"
