When Ji Yunlin returned to the study, Yan Canglan was already sitting at the desk, ready to listen to the class.

Ji Yunlin smiled and nodded, picked up the pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and started today's class. His explanation was simple and easy to understand, and he interspersed examples from life from time to time, which made Yan Canglan listen intoxicated.

At this time, Lu Yundi and Yan Shuqin quietly came to the door of the study and eavesdropped through the window. Lu Yundi carefully observed Yan Shuqin's expression, and seeing that she was listening with great interest, he couldn't help but smile with satisfaction.

"Mother, Master Ji explained it so well that I could actually understand it." Yan Shuqin said in a low voice.

"Yes, Master Ji has good intentions. You must cherish this opportunity." Lu Yundi responded softly.

In class, Ji Yunlin noticed something unusual happening outside the window, but he did not stop explaining. Instead, he became more engaged. He told a story about diligent study, saying, "In ancient times, there was a young man named Meng Ke who was obsessed with studying and worked day and night. One day, his mother saw that he was exhausted and advised him to rest. Meng Ke said, 'Mother, if I stop, I will be surpassed by others.'"

Yan Canglan's blood boiled when he heard this, and he secretly vowed in his heart that he must study hard and live up to his mother's expectations.

After class, Ji Yunlin walked out of the study and happened to see Lu Yundi and Yan Shuqin. He smiled and greeted them, "Madam, Hello, Miss."

Lu Yundi smiled slightly and said, "Master Ji, your teaching method is indeed refreshing. It will definitely benefit Canglan a lot."

Ji Yunlin said modestly: "No, no, you are very smart, I am just trying my best to help you."

Yan Shuqin asked curiously, "Master Ji, why did you choose to explain in vernacular Chinese?"

Ji Yunlin smiled and explained: "Vernacular writing is close to life and easier for people to understand. I hope that in this way, he can truly master the knowledge instead of just memorizing it by rote."

Lu Yundi nodded and praised: "Master Ji really has good intentions."

Back in the room, Lu Yundi said to Yan Shuqin: "Look at Master Ji. Although he was born in a poor family, he has extraordinary talent. You must learn from him and work hard to improve yourself."

Yan Shuqin said with emotion: "Mother, you are right. Master Ji has taught me a lot, and I also understand the importance of learning. I will try my best to cooperate with you in treating the cold and strive to recover soon."

Lu Yundi smiled and patted Yan Shuqin on the shoulder: "You are a sensible child. I will do my best to help you cure your cold."

As night fell, Lu Yundi prepared a medicinal bath for Yan Shuqin. She personally scrubbed Yan Shuqin's body and then carefully acupunctured her. Although Yan Shuqin felt uncomfortable, she always clenched her teeth and did not groan.

"So brave." Lu Yundi looked at Yan Shuqin with heartache.

Yan Shuqin smiled and said, "Mother, I am willing to endure these pains in order to live a happy life with you."

After the treatment, Lu Yundi covered Yan Shuqin with a blanket and said softly, "Have a good rest. I will continue to treat you like this in the future. I plan to give you a medicinal bath and acupuncture every night to help you treat the cold in your body."

After Lu Yundi sent Yan Shuqin back to rest, it was already late at night and the lights in Rong Xi Hall were brightly on.

She returned to the hall, put down the medicine box in her hand, and began to sort out the herbs. There were many kinds of herbs, and each one was carefully selected by her, not only to treat Lu Zhiwei's illness, but also to regulate Yan Shuqin's body.

Rong Xi Tang was filled with fragrance. Lu Yundi carefully sorted the medicinal materials and put them into the medicine cabinet.

These medicinal herbs mean hope of life to younger brother Lu Zhiwei and Yan Shuqin.

After sorting out the herbs, Lu Yundi sat at the table, picked up a pen, and began to record the usage and dosage of the herbs. Her strokes were steady and her handwriting was beautiful, as if she was painting a picture of life.

These records are very important to her.

As soon as she has the chance, she will bring Lu Zhiwei to the Mansion of Marquis Zhongyong so that the famous doctors there can better treat her brother.

Lu Yundi sat in front of the window, tapping the table with his fingers, his eyes deep and firm. But it was not easy to get his brother Lu Zhiwei out of the Lu Mansion safely. The Lu Mansion was complicated and the power of the family was intertwined. If he was not careful, he might be killed.

Lu Zhiwei's physical condition was getting worse and worse, and he could not delay any longer. She had thought about using her identity and the power of the Loyal and Brave Marquis's Mansion to protect her brother, but then she thought it was too risky. Once the elders in the family found out, not only would her brother's situation be more dangerous, but she herself might also be implicated.

Lu Yundi frowned and thought to herself, "I must find a foolproof plan that can ensure my brother's safety while not putting my husband's family in trouble." She decided to start from within the family, understand the attitudes and trends of each branch and courtyard, and look for possible allies.

At the same time, she was also looking for a way to cure Yan Shuqin's cold disease.

Although Yan Shuqin's condition was not life-threatening, it would definitely affect her physical and mental health in the long run. She decided to use her evenings to read medical books and seek effective treatments for colds.

As night fell, Lu Yundi stayed alone in her room, lit a candle, and picked up a thick medical book. She flipped through the pages, not missing any details. She found that there were many treatments for cold diseases, but most of them required long-term conditioning and had extremely high requirements for medicinal materials.

She sighed in her heart: "It seems that I not only need to find a suitable treatment plan, but also try to get enough medicinal materials."

She looked at the herbs in her hand and couldn't help but sigh. The 1,000 taels of silver she won before was indeed a considerable fortune for many people, but for her, it was just a drop in the bucket.

"I will definitely deduct the public expenditure next time." She made up her mind secretly, but she couldn't help but think of her brother Lu Zhiwei's frail figure. His illness was like a sword hanging over her heart, making her feel uneasy all the time.

She recalled the years in the Lu Mansion. She was a carefree girl at that time. Although her family fell into poverty, at least she still had a complete family. At that time, she had no concept of money. She only knew how to give blindly and used all her savings to buy medicinal herbs for her brother. She never thought that such giving would put her in such a predicament.

She was responsible for the entire family, including her brother's medical expenses, her own dowry, and the cost of buying a large house and hiring maids in the future. All of this required a lot of money. What she had now was far from enough to support these expenses.

"Shuqin's condition is complicated and requires long-term treatment. I can't afford the cost now." Lu Yundi said silently in his heart.

Yan Shuqin's disease is not incurable, it just requires a lot of medicinal materials and careful care. However, all of these require money, and what she has now is far from enough.
