Chaohui Hall was very lively at this time. Old Madam Li was enjoying the service of her four granddaughters-in-law, and several younger generations were also serving her.

When Li Biao came in, everyone stood up to greet him.

As soon as Li Biao sat down, his four daughters-in-law took their leave and left.

Li Biao glanced at the eldest son's wife and asked, "Is Princess Kangle's mansion still bustling?"

The eldest brother’s wife was stunned. What is Princess Kangle’s Mansion?

Li Biao frowned. "Yesterday, at the ceremony for the enthronement of Princess Kangle, I sent a special message home, asking you to go and congratulate. How come you didn't know?"

The eldest daughter-in-law looked confused and quickly explained: "Dad, didn't your daughter-in-law receive the news?"

Mother Li, who was sitting in the first seat, coughed.

"I didn't tell them."

Li Biao frowned and looked at his mother: "Why? Princess Kangle is from Lunshan County, isn't Wan'er familiar with her?

Now that she is a princess, we should go and congratulate her with courtesy. Why doesn't mother allow anyone to go?"

Madam Li drank her tea slowly and then said:

"I heard that other families received invitations, but ours didn't. Since we didn't get an invitation, a peasant girl like her isn't worthy of our flattering congratulations, right?"

Wan'er said that this Princess Kangle was only given the title of Princess by His Majesty because of a recipe for oil extraction.

A peasant girl, even if she became a princess, could not change her humble origin.

"Mom, you are confused!"

Li Biao slammed the table in anger.

"A peasant girl? She was a beggar before, so what? She is now a princess and a first-rank cabinet minister. Mother, what do we have?

Huh? What's that?

I, your son, am at best a fifth-rank official, a fifth-rank official in the Imperial Hospital, a fifth-rank official who cannot even enter the imperial court. What right do we have to look down on others?

Why would Princess Kangle send us an invitation?"

Old Madam Li was stunned as she looked at her mad son who was slamming the table and pointing at her.

Ever since her son became the director of the Imperial Medical Bureau, she has been the head madam of the Li family.

She had been respected and flattered for so many years. Even when she went to the Marquis's mansion to attend a banquet, the Marquis's wife treated her with great courtesy for the sake of her son.

Now, her son actually yelled at her, and she was a little confused.

"You, you are crazy, I am your mother."

Li Biao was extremely disappointed. "Yes, you are my mother. Are you trying to kill me? Mother!"

Li Biao sighed inwardly as he looked at his mother who had not yet realized her mistake.

My mother was born into a family of concubines, so she has no experience. She even forced my wife into a Buddhist temple. Well, I can't let her be the head of this family anymore.

"Go to Fuluo Temple and bring my wife back. Let her take care of this household."

"You, you unfilial son!"

The old lady pointed at her son with trembling hands and fainted.

The Li family was in chaos again.

But Li Biao was determined to deprive his mother of her housekeeping rights, and no matter how the old lady cried, made a fuss, or even threatened to hang herself, it was of no use.

Two days later, Li Biao went to the Jindan Pharmacy in person.

The pharmacy's business is as good as ever.

He was different from Boss Li. He could tell the difference between Jindan Pharmacy and Li Family Clinic at a glance.

The hall is very large.

The four corners of the hall were separated by screens, and the taeni sat inside to see patients.

Patients who have seen a doctor go to the back hall to get their medicine, and the entire pharmacy is in good order.

The patients who came out were not carrying large or small bags, but came out with their hands behind their backs.

He stopped an old man and asked, "Brother, didn't you get the medicine?"

The old man pulled out a small paper bag from his sleeve pocket. He smiled and said, "Are you new here? This Golden Elixir Pharmacy only gives patients this kind of elixir."

As he spoke, he opened the paper package, revealing eight or nine smaller paper packages inside.

He opened one of them and said, "Look, this is the medicine for one dose. I took it for three days, three times a day. This packet is enough for one dose. It's not bitter. Take it with warm water."

Inside the small paper bag were black and red pills of varying sizes. Each pill was the size of a soybean, and the entire package was no bigger than a walnut. "If I take it several times with warm water, it's really convenient."

Li Biao picked up a grain, crushed it open and smelled it.

The old man said anxiously: "Hey, this is my medicine, you can't take it carelessly."

Boss Li winked behind him, and Xiao Si behind him quickly took out a silver ingot and threw it to the old man: "Just go buy another bag."

The old man was unmoved and said, "I can't give you this medicine either. Doctor Li said that this medicine cannot be taken casually. It only treats my illness.

If you are not sick or the medicine is not suitable for your condition, you should not take it. Doctor Li said that medicine is three-quarters poisonous. If it is suitable for your condition, it is a good medicine; if it is not suitable for your condition, it may be poisonous.

Li Biao nodded and said, "I'll buy you this small packet. I won't eat it. I'm just curious and want to study it."

"Oh, you also run a clinic, right?"

The old man suddenly understood and pointed to a place not far away.

"You don't need to study it. If you want it, have you seen it? There is a small door on the east side of the Golden Elixir Pharmacy. I saw doctors from other clinics go there to buy in bulk."

"What? They're selling pills to other clinics?"

Boss Li suddenly raised his voice, which scared the old man. He quickly packed up his medicine, took the silver ingot and left.

Li Biao gave him an unhappy look and said, "I asked you to investigate the Golden Elixir Pharmacy, but you didn't even find out such an important thing. Have you eaten all these years for nothing?"

He tasted the pill just now and the medicinal flavor was extremely strong.

How is it possible to lock the herbal essence into such a small pill?

It seems that he needs to have a good talk with Li Fangling and his grandson.

In the private room of Dongfeng Building.

Li Biao sighed and said, "Third brother, Princess Mingbao has been changing her teeth these days. I was left in the palace on duty, and only when I returned home did I learn of such a big thing happening at home."

Doctor Li is the third child in the family.

Doctor Li bowed and said, "It's all in the past, so let's not talk about it. I wonder what the master wants to do with us today?"

"Third brother, you don't even call me big brother anymore? You're resentful of me. Yes, it's big brother who's wronged you. Big brother was only concerned with the affairs of the Imperial Hospital and neglected you."

"I dare not. If you are fine, sir, I will take my leave." Doctor Li stood up and said.

Boss Li said impatiently, "Uncle San, this is really not my father's fault. Why are you talking so sarcastic?

Besides, my grandmother was also very angry at the time, and Fang Ling was also very aggressive, so this is what happened."

Li Fangling looked at him: "What you mean is that I'm wrong."

Doctor Li pulled his grandson and shook his head at him. Then he said to Li Biao:

"We don't blame anyone. I told you that's all in the past. If you don't have anything else to do, we have to go back."

After saying that, Doctor Li turned around and left, and Li Fangling followed him of course.

Li Biao frowned and quickly said loudly: "Third brother, I am here to invite you and your grandchildren back to the Li family. Don't worry, I will leave the management of the Li family clinic in the capital to you."

Boss Li was shocked, "Dad."

This Li family clinic belongs to him, why would he hand it over to an outsider like you?

Li Biao glared at him and said, "Shut up."

If we don't place a big bet on this tactless thing, can we keep people here?
