Lin Yanniang naturally knew what He Laosan meant by saying this.

But she hadn't asked her own mother, so she couldn't just answer casually. She glanced at him and said with a smile, "Ah! Is it so rare? Is Third Master happy? Whenever my mother-in-law has something nice, she always wants to give it to Third Master!"

Lin Yanniang was thinking in her heart that even if her mother still had a few watches, she should sell them herself and not let He Laosan act as the middleman.

Otherwise, I don’t know how much benefit he would have gained!

After saying that, she didn't wait for He Laosan to answer, but instead brought up a topic that He Laosan was unhappy about.

"Third Master, I think the small house my mother lives in is still a little too small. If she wants to receive guests, it will not look good. The houses in our mansion..."

He Laosan's eyes suddenly began to flicker.

"Those houses, I think they haven't been vacated yet, I'll go ask the old man someday...ah, I suddenly remembered that there's something going on in the front yard, I'll come talk to Yan Niang another day..."

Looking at He Laosan's hurried back, Lin Yanniang smiled, yawned, and prepared to go to bed early. She had to go there early tomorrow, otherwise it would be bad if she missed it!

Aunt Su was also video chatting with Su Heiya.

"Mom, don't worry. Although the Fifth Princess is almost thirty years old, as a princess, she should have a good foundation. As long as she follows the booklet I gave you before, doesn't take too much supplements, and doesn't stay still all the time, there shouldn't be any problems... And I've recorded all the situations you just mentioned. I'll go online and find a paid doctor for consultation tomorrow afternoon. If one isn't enough, I'll find a few more."

"Well, OK, Heiya, I trust you to do the job. But this client has a special status after all, so nothing can go wrong."

This person is her biggest supporter in the capital!

If she died during childbirth, wouldn't she be in trouble?

"Oh, by the way, there is one more thing, Heiya!"

"Do you remember the story about the real and fake legitimate daughter that I told you yesterday?"

"Mrs. Zhu gave me a generous gift today. There are many good things in it! She also said that she wanted to come visit me tomorrow, so I accepted it."

As Aunt Su spoke, she passed the thing she had been playing with to her daughter.

A string of emerald green jade beads fell into Su Juanjuan's palm.

The cool and moist touch, as well as the bright green color, made Su Juanjuan open her mouth stupidly.

"Yang, Yang Green Jade?"

Su Juanjuan now has a small villa, a nice car, and several million in savings, but she is still not willing to buy herself this kind of jade jewelry worth hundreds of thousands of dollars!

"This, this is what that lady gave me? Isn't this too rich?"

Aunt Su blinked her eyes. "This jade necklace is not the most valuable thing in it. The coral tree and ivory carvings are really eye-opening!"

Perhaps because she saw that most of the jewelry worn by Aunt Su were pearls of rare colors, the gift that Zhu sent did not include pearls, but rather some rare treasures.

Su Heiya was stunned after hearing this.

"I won't pass on the coral tree, ivory carvings, or anything like that. First, they're too big, and second, they'll be too conspicuous if passed on to you. They might even get you punished!"

If these treasures were passed down from the past, they could be collected. However, if they attracted the attention of outsiders, it would bring unnecessary attention to Su Heiya, which would be inappropriate.

Su Juanjuan also nodded.

"Yeah, yeah, mom is right. It's really not appropriate to put those here."

Although she is not a social animal, she will still find a small group to come over for dinner when shooting videos or celebrating holidays. These friends seem to be nice at the moment, but people change, so it’s better not to be so showy.

After chatting with Su Heiya for fifteen minutes, Aunt Su finally went to bed with peace of mind.

After waking up, washing up and finishing her meal, Aunt Su began to prepare to welcome guests.

Standing in the yard, Aunt Su looked around.

Although this yard is simple and quiet, it is a bit small.

There is nothing wrong with living alone, but in this capital city where the powerful and wealthy are everywhere, it is definitely not enough.

If Aunt Su really wants to wander around Beijing to gain happiness and take advantage of the powerful people in Beijing, she will probably have to move to another place.

Of course, Aunt Su never thought about living in her in-laws' house.

There were already some differences in their social backgrounds, and she was a widow and unemployed. Living in the house of Duke He's mansion meant that she was a bit dependent.

Just like the relative who went to the Jia Mansion to beg for money in Dream of the Red Chamber, although he was lucky enough to do so, he could not avoid the gossip and ridicule of the servants.

Others can tolerate it, but she can't. Wouldn't that ruin her image?

But she only has about 10,000 taels of silver in her hand now.

If I took out five thousand taels of silver, I could only buy a slightly bigger house than this one in the capital. It wasn't much better.

Of course, she still had some valuables in her hands. In addition to the old lady's original dowry and private collection, there were also various gifts she had received in the past six months. She could pawn them for money, but all together she could only get an extra 10,000 or 20,000 yuan, which was still not enough...

How about setting up a farm in the suburbs of the capital?

I heard that there is a hot spring mineral vein in the north of the capital.

It’s not possible to buy a house in Beijing with more than 10,000 yuan, but if you move to a sixth or seventh tier city, you should be able to buy a good one, right?

Thinking of this, Aunt Su gave orders to give each of the male servants in the outer courtyard who had no work to do a few ingots of silver and asked them to inquire in the streets outside to find out if there were any hot spring villas to buy in the northern suburbs, what the market price was, what the market conditions were, etc.

The servants naturally went there happily.

Who wouldn’t like this kind of job where you can use public money to eat, drink, chat and hang out?

As the sun was getting high, Zhu finally arrived with her two children.

Zhu actually wanted to come earlier, but this morning, the two little five and little six had a fight again.

The cause was somewhat related to Aunt Su.

Didn’t Aunt Su give the three children gifts last time?

It’s not called a sunshine crystal pendant. The three children all liked it very much. They took it home and hung it on the windowsill. The shining sunlight was so dazzling that they could stand there and stare at it for a long time.

As a result, I don't know how the two of them got into trouble again. Xiaoliu smashed Xiaowu's crystal pendant. Although the material was hard, it didn't break, but there was a small cut on one corner.

Xiaowu naturally refused and burst into tears. Xiaoliu was not to be outdone. If she had not gone early, the two would have fought.

It took her a lot of effort to press these two down.

Although they have become more obedient, they still have to change their clothes if they are wrinkled and wash their faces if they are stained.

Isn't this a waste of time?

Thinking about how she lives her life every day, it really makes me tired.

Thinking about the information she had sent people to inquire about before, Zhu became more determined.

No matter what, we must ask Madam Su for help!

Although her servants had told her when they inquired that Old Madam Su was now renting a small courtyard with two entrances to live in, when she actually moved in, she felt that the courtyard was indeed too small.

If that’s the case… Zhu started to have some ideas in mind.

When only Zhu and Old Madam Su, mother and daughter, were left in the living room, Zhu stood up and bowed deeply to Old Madam Su.

Aunt Su quickly stood up and supported him.

"Oh my, what is Mrs. Zhu doing? Isn't this embarrassing for me?"

Lin Yanniang also asked knowingly, "Yes, Mrs. Zhu, why did you suddenly give such a big gift? I was shocked!"

Zhu's eyes were filled with tears. "I really have no other choice but to ask the old lady for help..."

Although Aunt Su had already known from Lin Yanniang what Zhu wanted, she still had to pretend to be stupid for a while.

Aunt Su listened patiently and kindly to Zhu's story about the grudges in the Zhao family's rear quarters. She pondered for about a dozen breaths before replying.

"Well, I am an old woman, and there is no way I can tell the two children apart..."

Before she finished her words, Zhu had already bowed to her again, "Old Madam, it is said that you have been blessed by immortals, so you must be very lucky. I beg you to be kind and let me know which one is my biological child. Otherwise, even if I die, I will never be able to close my eyes in this life..."

Money makes the world go round. Zhu spent a lot of money and knew a lot of information.

For example, Aunt Su diagnosed the strange diseases in the city early on, and she also had elixirs bestowed by the gods, which she used to save the lives of many young children.

For example, Aunt Su received the immortal seeds from the immortal Su on the farm, which led to the immortal fruits that became popular in the capital and were very expensive for a time.

For example, Aunt Su would gather people together to celebrate during festivals, and in front of hundreds of eyes, she would invite a real immortal to descend and reveal her immortal figure in public.

What shocked Zhu the most was that Aunt Su was not only a master who taught the Fifth Princess, but also, after Princess Huyang was angry and greedy and sent people to seize Su Family Manor, the gods really sent a snake demon to punish them. The servants in Princess Huyang's manor only stayed in the manor for a few days before they all got all kinds of strange diseases and fled back to the capital in a hurry...

With such supernatural powers, how is it different from being a living god?

Aunt Su and Lin Yanniang helped Zhu up from both sides.

Lin Yanniang advised, "Mrs. Zhu, don't be anxious. It won't be too late to talk slowly."

"In fact, my mother has also been favored by immortals. Immortals often appear in her dreams and give her small opportunities. Therefore, sometimes she can really help people solve their problems. But it also depends on whether the immortals are willing."

Zhu was sick and tried all kinds of treatments. She begged anxiously, "Then please give it a try, Madam. If the immortal is not willing, then I dare not ask for too much!"

Aunt Su and Lin Yanniang looked at each other and then spoke after some hesitation.

"Originally, this is Mrs. Zhu's family affair. An old woman like me shouldn't interfere. Since we have met by chance, and the fates of these two children are indeed incompatible, then I will try to ask Su Xian and see what Empress Su Xian thinks."

"But..."

Zhu asked hurriedly, "Madam, please speak."

Aunt Su looked at Zhu and said, "I need a drop of blood from each of you three."

Zhu was slightly stunned, then nodded immediately, "Okay, I'll get someone to do it right away."

Aunt Su thought about it and stopped her, "Don't be busy yet."

"Let's chat about family matters first!"

Zhu was pulled by Aunt Su and sat on a chair, responding to Aunt Su's words incoherently. She was anxious, but she couldn't go out to draw blood immediately. It was very tormenting.

Aunt Su pretended not to see anything and continued to ask various questions with a smile.

Lin Yanniang became a temporary stenographer. She held a small eyebrow drawing pen in her hand and wrote quickly on a small notebook, recording Zhu's answers.

When Zhu saw this scene, she realized that her answers were crucial to getting the answers she wanted.

But knowing that it is important is one thing, but the heart is still a mess.

She racked her brains but couldn't figure it out. Old Madam Su asked about any illnesses she and her husband had, and about the health of Lord Zhao and Madam Liu, as well as the health of Zhu's parents, and the health of the previous generation...

Even whether they have hair loss, eye diseases, what foods make them uncomfortable, whether they have any problems with their heart, liver, spleen, stomach, kidneys, and lungs, and why the older generation died...

Fortunately, Zhu had a good memory, otherwise she really wouldn't be able to answer many of the questions.

Not to mention Zhu, even Lin Yanniang, who was taking shorthand at the side, couldn't help but mutter in her heart when she heard it.

It was not until two incense sticks had passed that the chat was finally over.

In fact, Aunt Su didn't want to check the person's household registration, asking this and that, and even asking about the person's parents' ancestors.

But I have to ask this!

"Okay, that's all I'll ask."

Aunt Su put away the notebook where Lin Yanniang had written down the answers and said to Zhu, "Don't worry, Madam Zhu. These are what I will report to the immortals. I will burn them after I use them. They will not be spread outside."

Even if Zhu had some doubts in her heart, they had disappeared now.

"The old lady has good intentions. I understand that."

Even if you don't understand, you have to explain it clearly!

But if you think about it carefully, what's the point of the old lady knowing what problems her whole family has?

The highest-ranking father-in-law in her family was only a Shangshu, and he was not a member of the royal family, so the matter was still confidential.

After a while, silver needles and several small porcelain bottles were brought out.

Aunt Su asked someone to boil water and prepare some strong liquor.

In front of Zhu, he first washed a few silver needles and then burned them on the fire.

The small porcelain bottle was naturally disinfected.

The first thing to be taken was the blood from Zhu’s wrist.

Zhu was a little nervous when she was taking blood.

But after she finished taking the blood, she found that only a drop of blood was taken, and the needle didn't hurt at all, just like being bitten by an insect.

However, when it came time to draw blood from the daughters one by one, Little Five made all kinds of excuses for not wanting to have the injection, and Little Six was so scared that her eyes were filled with tears... After pressing this one and that one kept crying, Zhu was very busy.

Finally, the blood was collected and labels were put on the small bottles.

Seeing the servants taking the children out again, Aunt Su also breathed a sigh of relief.

After putting away all the porcelain bottles, Aunt Su said to Zhu, "I should have invited you to have dinner at home, but as you can see, my place is small and I can't arrange it. It's unfair to the children..."
