I was divorced because I got pregnant during the lean years, so I went back to my parents’ home and

Huang Po cursed: "They are all unpleasant ladies!"

The next day, Ji Xiaobei saw that it was almost time, so he took a fine porcelain bowl, made a bowl of brown sugar water, and waited at the door.

After a while, Xiaomei came over with a tray with a bowl of medicine on it.

Ji Xiaobei held the brown sugar water with a curtain and walked out of the door quickly.

"Ouch..." Ji Xiaobei shouted and kicked Ji Deyan under his feet.

Ji Deyan: Aaaaah… He ran away in a hurry and bumped into Xiaomei’s ankle.

Xiaomei hurriedly dodged and looked at her feet.

Mrs. Huang walked out quickly, took the medicine from Xiaomei and said, "Look, you bumped into Miss Xiaomei, are you okay?"

While Shen Xiaomei lowered her head, Ji Xiaobei replaced the medicine bowl in Huang Po's hand.

Xiao Mei raised her head and said embarrassedly: "It's all my fault. I didn't see Miss Ji..."

She looked at the curtain and medicine bowl in Ji Xiaobei's hands in surprise.

"Oh, this is for Ji Deyan to drink. She caught a cold, so Huang Po made some gunpowder for her. This little damn dog refused to drink it, so I had to chase her out!"

Ji Xiaobei explained with a smile.

Ji Deyan, who was hiding behind the wooden door, expressed her dissatisfaction: Aa ...

Xiaomei looked towards the wooden door and walked away with the medicine bowl in her hand.

Ji Xiaobei let out a long breath of fear and shouted to Ji Deyan: "Ji Deyan, come out and take the medicine..."

Mrs. Huang slammed the door shut.

Terrifying!

Mrs. Huang took the medicine bowl to the kitchen and used the method of looking, smelling, tasting and pinching. After fiddling with it for a long time, she still couldn't figure out what the ingredients were.

Finally, Huang Po said, "We need the dregs of the medicine!"

Ji Xiaobei didn't think that Huang Po could tell which medicinal herbs they were.

The medicinal soup has already been made, and without modern testing methods, how can we know what kind of medicinal ingredient it is?

If you want the medicinal residue, it’s not a big problem.

In the evening, Ah Huang would bury drug residues in the alley.

"If the old lady's medicine is okay, you two better not cause any trouble!"

Mrs. Lin said with some concern.

Ji Xiaobei had already told them his guess and also told them about the affair between Madam Gui and the coachman.

The two old ladies were so shocked that they were speechless.

"The lady of the house colluded with the servants to murder the mother-in-law. This is a serious crime, isn't it?"

Mrs. Lin said with trembling lips.

"Saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda. I, Ji Xiaobei, will do a good deed for once!"

Ji Xiaobei kept muttering to himself, praying for Buddha's blessing.

The two old women couldn't think of any good solution, so they agreed to Ji Xiaobei's suggestion to change the medicine soup.

Fortunately, Xiaomei was not very wary of them, otherwise this would have been difficult.

The three people waited anxiously for Ah Huang to come out and bury the medicine residue.

Ji Deyan was squatting at the door when he saw Ah Huang come out with a shovel, and then he ran into the yard to report the news.

Ji Xiaobei went out and said, "Uncle Huang, can you give me some of your medicinal residue? I've planted some flowers and plants, and I heard that medicinal residue can be used as fertilizer!"

Ah Huang smiled innocently and said, "I haven't heard of it. If you want it, take it away!"

Ah Huang was happy to give it to her. The residue was useless, so she took it and saved herself the trouble of burying it.

Ji Xiaobei thanked Ah Huang, took the medicine bag and went home.

Huang Po looked, smelled and tasted again, and only recognized a few kinds of medicinal herbs.

Ji Xiaobei thought of Jiaojiao's family doctor, perhaps he could see some clues.

Ji Xiaobei put the medicine soup into a clay pot and wrapped up the residue.

I went to Jiaojiao's house early the next morning.

Jiaojiao had just finished breakfast and was taking a walk in the yard. When she heard Ji Xiaobei coming, she hurried out to greet him.

After a brief greeting, Jiaojiao took her to her room in the backyard.

Ji Xiaobei recounted what had happened.

Jiaojiao didn't react much and said:

"These are all dirty things in the deep courtyard. The old lady is quite pitiful."

Jiaojiao was also a kind-hearted person. She immediately asked people to gather all the doctors in the palace and send the things to them.

After a while, the message came.

"Madam, the Lin residence doctor is here!" Qingzhu came in and reported.

Jiaojiao asked the servants to leave, and Doctor Lin came in, bowed, and sat on a small stool.

Ji Xiaobei looked at the elderly doctor in the Lin residence, who had white hair and beard and a bright look in his eyes.

"This is Doctor Lin from the Imperial Hospital. My grandfather invited me to the Ruo Mansion. Doctor Lin, this is my distant cousin. If you have anything to say, just speak up!"

Doctor Lin talked about a lot of pharmacological knowledge and professional terms, and also analyzed why several drugs cannot be mixed.

Ji Xiaobei was confused after listening to this.

However, she listened very carefully and agreed with words like "um", "yes", "ah", and "right".

Jiaojiao looked at her in surprise, thinking that she really understood.

Jiaojiao didn't feel comfortable interrupting and let the old doctor finish.

"Young lady, you understand everything, right?" The old doctor stroked his beard and said with a smile.

Ji Xiaobei smiled awkwardly and shook his head.

She understands? She understands shit!

It was entirely to cooperate with Doctor Lin.

"I don't understand. Doctor Lin, please explain it in simple terms!" Jiaojiao said.

"It's just that there's something wrong with the old lady's medicine. Most of the medicines are used to calm the nerves, nourish the brain, and warm and nourish the body. But there's one medicine that stimulates the nerves and is incompatible with several other medicines."

"Is the dosage still too large?" Ji Xiaobei asked.

Doctor Lin nodded and said, "Yes, if taken for a long time, people will become mentally abnormal, suffer from memory loss, and fall into a coma..."

Jiaojiao was surprised again. What kind of hatred did he have against the old lady that he would use such despicable means.

After the Lin family doctor left, Jiaojiao asked Ji Xiaobei what to do?

Ji Xiaobei thought for a moment and said, "I want to meet her grandson and ask him in person if he knows about this. If he knows about this..."

Ji Xiaobei shuddered.

"She, what does her grandson do? What's his name? She knows most of the officials in Anzhou, big and small, and the well-known officials and officials."

Ji Xiaobei shook her head and said she didn't know.

"Okay, stop talking about your worries. August 15th is my birthday. You can bring your family to celebrate and I'll also meet the old lady. I haven't visited her in all these days. Please don't mind, old lady!"

Jiaojiao said politely.

Ji Xiaobei said: "My old lady has wanted to come and thank you for a long time. Jiaojiao is a famous person in our Jijiawan..."

The two chatted for a while, and Ji Xiaobei said he wanted to open a clothing factory.

Jiaojiao smiled and said, "Sister has a new idea every day. The other day I heard Xiaolian say that you wanted to open a glass shop."

Ji Xiaobei laughed twice and said:

Opening a glass shop would mean stealing your business, and I don’t know how to run it. It would be better for me to sell good things to you, and then you can resell them, saving me the trouble…

It’s different from opening a clothing factory. I have my own way to export my products!”

"Sister, if you want to do something, do it big. There are many wealthy ladies in Anzhou. As long as the style and fabric are good, they will definitely sell. I will go to you to order clothes."

Jiaojiao said with a smile.

Ji Xiaobei nodded and said, "I'll go find a place in the next few days."

"You don't have to worry about finding a shop. We own several shops on Rong'an Street. You can use them anytime!"

Jiaojiao said generously.

"I can't afford to rent a shop on Rong'an Street. It's too expensive!"
