Chapter 19 Come to life
Wei Yishang was puzzled when she suddenly saw Cui'er arrive.

"Girl! It's urgent!"

Cui'er didn't care about anything else and pulled Wei Yishang towards their residence.

"Why the rush? Has Granny come back to life?" Wei Yishang asked with a smile.

“Yes, she came back to life…” Cui’er said, her expression stiffening. “I called a doctor to take a look at her.”

Wei Yishang didn't say anything, but found it interesting.

She's not even married yet, and trouble is already brewing. There might be more trouble in the future; she needs to be mentally prepared.

[Ding! The system requests the host to arrange for a doctor to help you out of this predicament.]

To get out of the predicament? What kind of predicament could there be?

Wei Yishang thought for a moment. This nanny was Fang's person. If she was being treated like this, Fang would probably use it against Wei Yishang.

However, it remains unknown who administered the drug.

Wei Yishang had Cui'er summon Zhang Zhong, then whispered something to him and Cui'er before making the arrangements.

Not long after, Wei Yishang and Cui'er returned crying. Upon seeing Liu Mama lying weakly on Wei Yishang's bed, they burst into tears.

"Granny, what's wrong? You've scared us to death..."

The two, master and servant, cried their hearts out. The old woman, already weak, was now unable to explain herself.

“I’ve called a doctor for you, Granny, please let him take a look at your hand.”

Wei Yishang clapped her hands lightly, and a man wearing a black doctor's hat entered the room. After greeting Wei Yishang, he examined the old woman.

After the doctor finished taking the old woman's pulse on her left hand, he sighed and then took her pulse on her right hand.

"Granny, have you had any symptoms such as dry mouth, bitter taste, or abdominal discomfort?" the doctor asked her.

The old woman nodded.

"Then it's not that you ate something bad, but rather that your spleen and stomach are weak. I'll prescribe a medicine for you; try taking it and see."

After the doctor finished speaking, he went to prescribe the medicine.

"Don't worry, nanny. Madam said that all your expenses here will be covered by her. Just focus on recovering these next few days."

Wei Yishang put on a kind and compassionate act, which moved Liu Mama. She had originally been sent by Madam Fang to "instruct" Wei Yishang, but not only had she failed to complete her task, she had also received Wei Yishang's kindness.

But she was ultimately a member of the mistress's household, and she had to fulfill the master's arrangements.

“Young lady, I can get up. Please continue to stand. I will give you some pointers.”

Wei Yishang laughed inwardly. This was practically military training! Were they trying to mess with me? Did they think I wouldn't see through them?

I'm going to be a shield-type partner, not to experience being beautiful and popular. What do I need rules and etiquette for?
If those things really existed, I might not be the partner.

Wei Yishang had Cui'er take away the snacks and soups from inside the house, and then, as instructed by the nanny, she stood in the center of the courtyard.

It was midday in summer, and the sun was scorching hot.

Wei Yishang stood for a few minutes, then pretended to be frail and fainted.

Not to be outdone, the old woman ordered Cui'er to bring a basin of cold water, intending to "wake up" Wei Yishang.

Cui'er hesitated before getting water.

"Cui'er, I might have left my earrings in my eldest sister's room. Go and ask her. If Aunt Xu is here, please say hello to her as well."

Wei Yishang woke up and calculated the time perfectly.

Cui'er understood what she meant; she wanted to invite Madam Xu over.

As luck would have it, Madam Lin was there too, so Cui'er invited both ladies over.

The old woman took the Chinese medicine and suffered from severe diarrhea. When she got to the outhouse, she found it locked for repairs. This was, of course, Wei Yishang's scheme.

Seeing that the old woman was looking for the toilet everywhere, Zhang Zhong pretended not to know anything and replied, "Old woman, it seems that Aunt Xu went to the fourth young lady's room. You should go and take a look."

Helpless, Granny Liu had no choice but to rush to Wei Yishang's courtyard.

As soon as Madam Xu and Madam Lin arrived, they heard a maid shouting, "Something terrible has happened! Miss has fainted again!"

Over there, Granny Liu returned and, upon seeing Madam Xu, quickly said, "This servant asked Miss to rest for a while, but Miss insisted on continuing to stand."

Cui'er, abandoning her usual amiable demeanor, retorted, "You're talking nonsense! It was you who told Miss to stay standing, or else you would have told Madam that Miss was ill-mannered and disrespectful."

"This..." Seeing that the two sides had different opinions, Madam Lin wanted to smooth things over. "Since she is a young lady, you don't have to be so strict, Granny. Chang'er, you should also understand that Granny's strictness is for your early success."

“I understand... Granny’s good intentions…” Wei Yishang replied sweetly.

“However,” Wei Yishang sighed, “the old lady has a sensitive stomach and fainted this morning. She probably needs to rest.”

"This old servant has no need..."

Just as Granny Liu was about to speak, a loud bang rang out, and she couldn't hold it in...

The stench spread rapidly...

"Guards, drag this old woman out!" Madam Lin covered her mouth and nose with a handkerchief, let the servants into the room, and carried the old woman out.

"Shang girl, rest for a while. Let's go see Madam and see what she decides."

Xu Shi chose a good time; at this moment, Master Wei was taking a nap at his first wife Fang's place.

Seeing Xu and Lin's anxious state, Fang's head maid had no choice but to let them in.

"What's wrong with you all?" Master Wei looked at them, somewhat surprised.

"Something happened to Chang'er..." Madam Xu glanced at Madam Fang, secretly pleased.

Over the years, Xu had been suppressed by the first wife using her status, and no one had spoken up for her. Now that Fang was using the same old tricks, she naturally wouldn't let this scheme succeed.

"Master, that etiquette maid, in broad daylight..." Madam Lin whispered in Master Wei's ear for a moment.

Master Wei looked disgusted and said, "If that's the case, then send her away to the estate."

Master Wei's approach to problems is extremely simple: out of sight, out of mind.

"Wait, what happened?" Madam Fang's demeanor remained dignified, but there was a hint of ruthlessness in her eyes.

"That Granny Liu..." Fang's head maid whispered a few words in Fang's ear.

“If we give it away so hastily, what if we wrong an innocent person?” Fang said with a smile.

"Shang girl has always been unruly. Now, I'm afraid she can't stand the etiquette instructor's guidance and has come up with a plan to send her away."

Madam Fang covered her mouth and laughed, "This child is really naughty. If he really doesn't like the etiquette nanny, he can tell me and I'll have her come back."

Everyone present, including Master Wei, fell silent, all marveling at the Fang family's extraordinary ability to change things.

At this moment, the maid came to report today's accounts, which included an extra account from Wei Yishang's side.

Fang was puzzled as to why Wei Yishang's accounts were sent to her side instead of to the steward for reconciliation.

“Madam, the Fourth Miss invited a doctor this morning to treat Granny Liu. She said that you had previously agreed that all of Granny Liu’s expenses would be on our side.”

The person making the expense report left after finishing speaking.

“How is this girl naughty? She’s clearly a good child, she even helped the nanny with her medical treatment…”

Xu, who was standing to the side, glanced at Fang and then looked at Master Wei.
