It's good to exchange marriages. My sister eats coarse food while I wear gold and silver.

"Whether it works or not, you won't know until you try it. It's useless to just say it." Yuan Buwei smiled and said, "I'll go see Mrs. Mu again."

"Hey, stop!"

Madam Mu handed the prescription to the maid behind her and asked her to get the medicine. She walked up to Yuan Buwei, looked her up and down and said, "Your senior brother is Dr. Pei, so your medical skills must be good. How about this? I will arrange a courtyard for you to live in, so that if my son has any problems, you can treat him at any time."

"How much money are you willing to pay to hire me, Madam Mu? I'm the junior sister of Dr. Pei, and I'm in good demand." If you want to know the other party's true intentions, don't rush to express your position, but just follow her words.

"You are a girl, you are so young, but you are quite eloquent." Madam Mu snorted and laughed, "If it weren't for the fact that mother-in-law didn't trust the imperial physician's medical skills, you wouldn't even be able to enter the gate of the Mu Mansion. Since you are the younger sister of Doctor Pei, I will give you twenty taels a month, and you can eat and live in the mansion."

"Twenty taels is the annual expenditure of ordinary people. It is indeed very high." Yuan Buwei nodded. "However, I am a student of Yaowang Valley, and my medical skills are recognized by my master. According to the rules of the valley, a consultation fee is fifty taels. The twenty taels you mentioned is far from enough for a consultation. I'm sorry, Madam Mu, I'm afraid I can't be the palace doctor of the Mu Mansion."

"Fifty taels for a consultation? You are robbing me." Madam Mu suddenly shouted, "How can you be so greedy for money, young girl? I'll give you twenty taels, which is already expensive. Besides, do you know the status of the Mu Mansion in Beijing? How many people want to get into the Mu Mansion?"

"Mrs. Mu, I'm sorry, I'm not interested in the family affairs of the Mu Mansion." Yuan Buwei's smile could no longer be maintained. "Since we didn't reach an agreement, you pay me fifty taels for the consultation fee, and I'll leave now."

"You just took my son's pulse, said a few polite words, and wrote a prescription with only seven herbs, and you want fifty taels?" Madam Mu sneered, took out ten taels from her sleeve and threw them on the ground, saying contemptuously, "It's only ten taels, take it or leave it."

For a moment, Yuan Buwei even doubted whether Mu Qing had cried to Madam Mu last night, but then she thought, if she had really cried, Madam Mu would definitely know who she was.

"For Mrs. Mu's sake, it'll be free this time." Yuan Buwei shrugged, picked up the medicine box and was about to leave.

"stop."

Madam Mu scolded and walked up to Yuan Buwei: "You can treat my son, the Mu family respects you, I didn't say I won't ask you for the consultation fee, you little girl, why are you so ungrateful, pick up the silver."

"Why should I pick up the silver you threw?" Yuan Buwei was sure that Madam Mu had been humiliated many times by her mother-in-law, and she felt unbalanced. She also mistakenly thought that she was Madam Mu's person, so she wanted to make things difficult for herself in order to find some sense of existence.

"Mother……"

Mu Yu, who had been listening, struggled to sit up and said, "Please don't make things difficult for Doctor Yuan. Let her go, otherwise my grandmother will wait anxiously."

"She asked for the medical fee, and I gave it to her, but my hand slipped and my waist hurt so I couldn't bend down, so I just asked her to pick up the silver. What's wrong with that?" Mrs. Mu glared at her son in dissatisfaction. He came back with great difficulty, but he was still speaking for an outsider.

"Madam Mu, this is your home. No one will care if you throw shit on the floor. But you really don't need to get angry with me, an outsider. It's not worth it." Yuan Buwei smiled, walked around Madam Mu and walked out of the door while warning, "Madam Mu, if you still can't figure it out, I won't treat your son."

These words successfully stopped Mrs. Mu from wanting to embarrass Yuan Buwei again.

Looking at her leaving figure, Madam Mu was so angry that her face was ferocious: "Bitch!"

"Mother, why do you scold me?"

"Yu'er, can't you see?" Madam Mu walked to the bedside and shouted anxiously, "She must be Grandma's person. Grandma sent you to the old house despite my pleading. Now she suddenly took you back and found such a young girl to treat you. She must have bad intentions."

"Mother, I am grandmother's grandson. She sent me to the old house because she knew I was sensitive and was afraid that people would point fingers at me and make my condition worse. Besides, I have lived a good life in the old house over the years, and my grandmother has never treated me badly in terms of food, clothing, housing and transportation."

"My silly son, you are the legitimate son of the Mu family. Even if you are weak and cannot fight in battles like grandma did when she was young, you can still learn business from the master. But she made you stay in the old house for more than ten years..." Madam Mu was about to cry as she spoke, "Start learning now, how can you not be as good as the legitimate sons of other aristocratic families who have been trained by the family since childhood."

"Mother, everyone has their own destiny. Maybe this is my destiny. Besides, there is Qing'er."

"She is a girl. No matter how great her achievements are, she will get married in the future." Madam Mu sighed, "Speaking of your sister, I don't know where she is. I haven't seen her in the past two days."

"Mother, don't put all your hopes on Qing'er because of me. She doesn't need to shoulder it for me. It's not her responsibility." Apart from his parents, the person Mu Yu felt most sorry for was his only sister. Other brothers had been able to protect their sisters since childhood and become their support, but he was lucky enough not to drag his sister down.

"Forget it, I won't talk to you anymore. You guys are just going to piss me off to death." Mrs. Mu was very annoyed now. She threw her handkerchief, turned around and walked out.

Mu Yu sighed softly. He had just returned and could feel the pressure coming at him.

In the days ahead...

He didn't even dare to think whether he could hold on.

In Mrs. Mu's room.

Yuan Buwei took back her hand: "Mrs. Mu, you have recovered well. I will help you adjust the prescription."

"Thank you, Doctor Yuan." Knowing that her grandson's illness could be cured, Mrs. Mu felt relieved. "In the future, Doctor Yuan will have to take care of Yu'er's illness. But this child doesn't want to live in the same yard with me. Well, as long as he can take good care of himself, it doesn't matter where he lives."

"You have to give him some time to digest it. When his health improves and his self-confidence increases, he will naturally figure out the things that he couldn't understand before. He will come to you and talk about it without you having to tell him." Yuan Buwei knew that what Old Lady Mu was most worried about was the future of the Mu family. She couldn't count on her son and daughter-in-law, so she could only put her hopes on her grandchildren.

"Doctor Yuan, you may not look very old, but every word you say hits the nail on the head. You are worthy of being a disciple of Medicine King Valley." Old Madam Mu said with a smile, but her eyes were always sizing up Yuan Buwei. "Doctor Yuan, with your medical skills, can you cure paralysis?"
