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

Mrs. Ye hurriedly found Ji Xiaobei.

She excitedly took Ji Xiaobei's hand and said, "Sister, thank you so much, otherwise I would have been deceived. The Black Lotus Sect is such a liar!"

Ji Xiaobei smiled.

"Sister, I heard from my old Ye that Master Fu is going to take people to Ye County to investigate the situation. It's very cold and windy there. I made a pair of knee pads, and please pass them to Master Fu."

Mrs. Ye handed Ji Xiaobei a pair of civet cat knee pads.

Although she was not very clear about the relationship between the two.

They don't look like a couple, nor like siblings. It's really hard to understand.

She originally wanted to ask her husband to give it to Mr. Fu, but then she changed her mind and decided it would be better to let Ji Xiaobei pass it on.

Ji Xiaobei accepted it with a smile.

After seeing Mrs. Ye off, Ji Xiaobei went to Fu Jichang's house.

Heita was carrying something and walking out. When he saw Ji Xiaobei coming, he grinned and said, "Girl, my master is in the house!"

Fu Jichang heard the sound of two people talking and opened the door.

Ji Xiaobei handed him the kneepad: "This is a gift from Madam Ye!"

Fu Jichang reached out to take it and put it on the table.

"Come, I'll give you something!" Fu Jichang pulled her to sit down and took out a jade pendant from his pocket.

"Hand out!"

Ji Xiaobei spread out his hands obediently.

Fu Jichang placed a pair of kissing koi tied with red strings in her palm.

Ji Xiaobei's face turned red immediately.

"This one is yours, this one is mine..." Fu Jichang's slender fingers gently moved them.

Ji Xiaobei raised his eyes and saw Fu Jichang's serious face, his deep and profound eyes staring at him.

She chuckled and said, "Where did you buy it from? This jade is so rich in water."

"Yongchang produces a lot of fine jade. I drew the drawings and asked the master to make them to order!"

Fu Jichang said proudly.

Ji Xiaobei picked up the red koi, and its shape and posture were lifelike.

She thought to herself: Jade, why didn’t I think of this? I should get some jade for Zheng Guo to sell.

Fu Jichang took the jade and helped Ji Xiaobei put it on.

Finally, he squeezed the jade hard, his eyes seeming to say, you can't run away now.

He hung his green one solemnly around his waist.

Ji Xiaobei glanced at him: Just hanging it like a jade pendant?

Fu Jichang: Doesn’t it look good?

Ji Xiaobei: It looks good! Hahaha, it looks very good.

A pouting green koi.

Fu Jichang told Ji Xiaobei to protect himself and his children.

Ji Xiaobei told Fu Jichang to be careful and report back if there was any news.

Ye County and Yongchang are separated by a mountain.

It is not easy to cross this mountain. The mountain is high and the road is steep. There is a famine now, and we may encounter unexpected dangers on the road.

He Ye and Heita were already waiting outside.

Fu Jichang and Ji Xiaobei came out of the house one after another.

She and Jiaojiao watched them leave.

This morning, An An looked listless after getting up. He only ate one bite of rice and then nestled in Jiaojiao's arms and refused to get up.

Jiaojiao went out to see He Ye off early in the morning, but An An pulled her back and stopped her from going.

She thought the child was still throwing a tantrum.

After a long period of comforting, An An's mood finally improved, but he still refused to eat.

Ji Xiaobei pulled her over and coaxed her for a while. An An reluctantly took a mouthful of the porridge that Ji Xiaobei brought her, stretched her neck and swallowed it, then burst into tears.

Jiaojiao was stunned: What? There is a needle in this porridge?

She took a sip and was fine!

What's wrong with this child? It's so frustrating.

Ji Xiaobei has worked as a kindergarten teacher and is quite experienced.

"An An, open your mouth and let your aunt see..." Ji Xiaobei touched her head and said gently.

An An opened her mouth, her throat was red, and there were many small white spots from ulcers.

Oh my god, no wonder the child is crying.

This is herpetic pharyngitis!

Ji Xiaobei showed it to Jiaojiao, who suddenly panicked.

She had never heard of this inflammation that Ji Xiaobei was talking about, but she felt it was very serious just by hearing the name.

"I'll go call Mrs. Huang!" Ji Xiaobei handed the child to Jiaojiao.

Zhengzheng and Guoguo were terrified, thinking Anan had an incurable disease.

Just as they were about to pounce, they were carried away by Ji Xiaobei.

"You two go to the next room..."

Ji Xiaobei asked them to go to another room and then went to Huang Po.

When Mrs. Huang heard this, she got out of bed in a hurry and left the house without even putting on her shoes.

Zhao Yan also followed.

"Sister, the child seems to have a fever!" Jiaojiao forced herself to calm down.

An An was weak and often had fever and was sick when he was a child.

Mrs. Huang held her little arm.

An An's face was covered with tears: "Grandma Huang, I don't want to die!"

Grandma Huang laughed and said, "If anyone is going to die, it will be grandma first. You are still young, so don't worry!"

Everyone in the room laughed.

The depressing atmosphere suddenly eased a lot.

Mrs. Huang took her pulse, looked at her throat, touched her body, and found that she had a fever.

Mrs. Huang prescribed some medicine and went out to boil it.

They did not tell their children about their illness.

Ji Xiaobei let Jiaojiao and the child sleep in the house and followed Huang Po out.

Zhao Yan followed him out and said anxiously, "Grandma Huang, is the child's illness serious?"

Two years ago, a concubine's child in the mansion had a mouth full of white spots and a high fever shortly after birth. The imperial physician came and prescribed medicine, but the child could not be saved.

Now she gets scared to death whenever she sees something growing in her child's mouth.

Mrs. Huang shook her head and looked at Ji Xiaobei.

"Xiaobei, this is very similar to the disease described in the medical books I read, herpes or something..."

The name was difficult to pronounce, and even after Feng said it several times, she couldn't remember it.

"Herpetic pharyngitis!" said Ji Xiaobei.

"Yes, it's just an illness... It's not serious, but I'm afraid there will be complications..." Mrs. Huang slapped her thigh, "I'll go and boil the medicine first..."

With Zhao Yan around, it was inconvenient for the two of them to communicate.

Zhao Yan hesitated for a moment and told Ji Xiaobei about what happened in the mansion, asking Ji Xiaobei not to take it lightly.

Ji Xiaobei comforted her and sent her back to her room.

She took out a golden dumpling and stuffed it into Ji Xiaobei's pocket, saying, "Mrs. Huang doesn't bring all the medicine. If you need any, go to the store and buy some supplements for the child..."

Zhao Yan's eyes were red.

She had done a lot of wrong things in the past. She had killed many of Prince Qing's children and those women's children.

On her way out from the capital, she saw too many skinny children who were not well fed or clothed, and looked so pitiful.

She wanted to atone for her sin and give the children something to eat.

But he was afraid of causing trouble for Ji Xiaobei, so he didn't give it to him.

"Your golden dumplings are too valuable. When I went to the pharmacy to buy medicine, they couldn't make change..."

Ji Xiaobei joked with her and stuffed the golden dumpling back into her pocket: "It doesn't cost much to buy medicine. Keep this for now. I'll give it to you when I need it."

Only then did Zhao Yan put it away.

Ji Xiaobei went to the backyard to look for Huang Po.

Mrs. Huang said worriedly, "This is the first time I've seen this disease. I'm afraid I can't handle it well."
