So, the Ji family also sent people from the Lu family to find out the truth.

The Lu family has been thinking in a subtle way ever since they asked the old lady for medicine last time.

Although she knew that she was Ji's concubine, no matter how you look at it, she was still a loyal member of Ji's side.

But she didn't want to offend the old lady now.

The old lady seems to be quite capable!

Putting aside the means of making money, who in the mansion would not be envious of the treatment given to the servants?

Those who used to serve in the old lady's courtyard but left at the last minute are now regretting their decision.

The treatment is okay, the most important thing is that the old lady has good medicine!

This person eats all kinds of grains, how can he not get sick?

Whenever the old lady's servants fell ill, she would give them medicine without them having to pay a penny.

But what about the others?

Don't you have to figure it out yourself?

She didn't want to offend the old lady, so that if something happened in the future, she could put aside her pride and take the things she had to ask Lao Jiao for help.

If you offend the old lady, it’s probably useless to beg, and no one will answer your calls!

So when the Lu family came back, they praised the old lady's shop a lot.

I also bought a cloth tiger with jewel eyes.

He also told Ji that nowadays it is very popular in the city to buy this for their precious children, as it is said to be able to calm nerves and ward off evil spirits!

Who knew that Ji would be unhappy.

"Madam, I think the old lady probably thinks these tiger-eye gems are useless, right?"

No matter where this gem came from, it belongs to the old lady now that she has given it to her.

What's the point of guarding a bunch of gems?

Instead of eating and drinking, why not exchange it for silver? Wouldn’t that give you more money for your retirement?

Besides, based on her understanding of the old lady, she felt that she didn't seem like the kind of person who would do business at a loss.

After all, he used to be a stingy person.

Ji curled his lips.

She is truly a spendthrift old lady!

"Isn't it? Losing money but gaining publicity is glorious, isn't it?"

Ji pouted in a certain direction and said, "Didn't Madam Liu just make clothes to curry favor with him?"

"Mrs. Jiang and the second young lady also work in the house every day. They probably want to curry favor with them too!"

"Humph! Do you still expect that stingy guy to plunder your money and give it to his illegitimate sons and daughters?"

"We brothers and sisters, legitimate sons and grandsons, the old lady treats them as if they don't exist!"

The Lu family nodded, "Madam is right. The old lady can't be confused. Isn't the eldest son and grandson more valuable than illegitimate sons and daughters? She will definitely not respect those two."

The master and servant were chatting about this and that.

Someone outside came to report, "Madam, Aunt Yang from my uncle's side wants to see you."

"Call him in!"

It is said that this aunt is Ji’s sister-in-law, Yao.

The mansion is now in mourning, and even relatives do not visit each other, but they still send maids to deliver gifts and pass on messages from time to time.

As soon as Mother Yang came in, she bowed to Ji.

Ji quickly had someone bring a brocade stool for her to sit on.

"How are my brother and sister-in-law doing?"

Although they were both in Xincheng, one was in the west and the other in the east, and each had a large family. The Lin Bo Mansion was in mourning period, and she hadn't seen him since the last time her brother and sister-in-law came to pay their respects.

Mother Yang apologized and sat down, "To answer Auntie's question, everything is fine!"

"only……"

Ji asked hurriedly, "Just what?"

Mother Yang finally couldn't hold it in anymore and her face showed anxiety.

"It's the second girl. On the second girl's face..."

After Mother Yang finished speaking hesitantly, Ji asked a few more questions, and only then did she understand.

"The second girl has some red pimples on her face. She went to the clinic and saw that none of the medicine and ointment worked?"

"How long has this been going on?"

"It started two months ago, but the family was busy at the time, so Madam didn't mention it."

Ji couldn't help but frowned, "Sister-in-law, do you want me to help you find a famous doctor?"

The second girl is her niece, and she is going to get married next year.

If those red pimples on my face are not treated, won’t my appearance be ruined?

What if the groom dislikes you?

Mother Yang was still hesitant. She glanced at the Ji family and then at the Lu family.

It seemed as if she wanted the Lu family to help her.

After all, the Lu family's daughter is Ji's concubine. At the beginning, the Lu family and Mother Yang were both illegitimate children of the Ji family, so they can be considered old sisters.

"Well, the wife said that there was really no other way. She had been seen by so many doctors, and the medicines they prescribed were not only useless, but also ruined her appetite. She lost several pounds... Well, I have no choice but to trouble my relatives..."

Ji was still standing there, not understanding what this meant.

I was counting on my fingers to see which retired imperial physician I could invite back to my hometown.

Mother Yang mustered up her courage and said, "Madam, I heard that the old lady in your house has some magical medicine... Can we go ask the old lady in-laws? Our wife said that we can't take it for free, and she will definitely reward us handsomely."

Ji stopped muttering and opened his mouth in surprise.

He opened it and closed it again, tilting his head to look at the Lu family.

His expression was very complicated.

Eh!

Her sister-in-law!

Give her all the problems!

When the old lady was in the mansion, why didn't you send someone to tell her earlier? Why didn't you come after she moved out? Isn't this forcing her to come and show her goodwill?

Ji smiled awkwardly.

"Mother Yang, the old lady in our mansion, she often gives the servants some pills, powders, and ointments. You know, she is a careful person and doesn't like to give money. She relies on these small favors to win people's hearts. The servants are thick-skinned and don't care about good or bad things."

"But our second daughter is a precious piece of glass. She has been to many famous doctors but none of them could cure her. How can she be cured by the folk remedies used by the servants? Don't make things worse. When the time comes, there will be the old lady in our house, and we won't have anyone to complain to!"

The old lady’s medicine is the most effective…

How did this matter get to the Ji family?

Of course it was because although the masters never met each other, their servants often came and went.

It just so happened that the gossip among these servants spread the fastest, and it was already known to the eldest lady of the Ji Mansion, right?

Mother Yang stood up and knelt down in front of Ji.

As he spoke, the corners of his eyes turned red.

"Madam, you don't know, because of the second young lady's little illness, our wife has been so worried that she couldn't sleep for half a month! If it can't be cured, what will happen next year?"

"Is the old lady's medicine good or not? Is it effective? We can still try it. If it doesn't work after trying, we won't dare to mess around!"

"Just take good care of your second niece!"
