Butler Liu's eyes moved silently between Lin Qing and Manager Qian, thinking to himself that even if the relationship between these two was not as dirty as he thought, they must be quite close.

Otherwise, how could she dare to say such words that would cut off someone's source of income in front of Shopkeeper Qian?

As far as he knew, the sour jujube cake had become a legendary delicacy among the wealthy families in Anping Town, and some people were willing to pay a high price to have a taste of it.

This woman asked her old lady to eat less. If this gets out and people start making random guesses, wouldn't that be...

Before he could think deeply, he heard the money-loving shopkeeper Qian nodding in agreement.

"Yes, yes, Madam Lin is right. If Madam Tang becomes ill, I will be unforgivable!"

Seeing that Shopkeeper Qian was not angry but said such words, Butler Liu, who had seen the darkness of the world and the treacherous hearts of people, was immediately suspicious.

Could it be that these two people had discussed it in advance, set up a trap, and were just waiting for me to be the scapegoat?

Lin Qing saw that Butler Liu didn't speak for a long time, but his eyes were deep. She naturally knew that as the butler of the Tang Mansion who was good at dealing with people, he would not trust a stranger like her for no reason.

But she didn't want to explain too much, lest she become too eager and arouse suspicion.

So she didn't doubt it any further and said, "Butler Liu, that's all I have to say. I can't say anything else, but I have a suggestion that you might like to hear."

Butler Liu nodded slightly.

"As the saying goes, medicine and food are one. Old lady, you can try some dietary supplements and slowly regulate your body."

Butler Liu's eyes lit up when he heard this.

The doctors invited to the mansion all said that the old lady was in poor health and had just been frightened, so strong medicines could not be used and she needed to recuperate slowly. However, no one ever suggested the method of "food supplements".

Even in Beijing, he had never heard of "food supplements"!

I never expected that this small place like Anping Town actually has so many hidden talents!

So the look on his face when he looked at Lin Qing couldn't help but show a bit more respect.

Although he still had doubts about Lin Qing when they first met, he didn't want to miss the opportunity to save the old lady.

After thinking it over again and again, the loyal butler Liu decided to ask.

"Alas, if only I had met Madam earlier, maybe my old lady wouldn't be so seriously ill!"

According to him, the old lady just had no appetite at first, and the doctor she called in couldn't find out what was wrong.

The old lady took a lot of the prescribed medicine, but her condition became more and more serious. She had no appetite and had no desire to eat or drink. In the end, she was bedridden and unable to get up.

"Thank goodness for your sour jujube cake! My master is a very filial son. He felt sorry for the old lady who had no appetite and was very hungry. He had no choice but to eat the sour jujube cake you made as a meal.

"If I go back and tell him there's another way to cure the old lady, I wonder how happy he'll be!"

After saying this, Shopkeeper Liu took off the purse from his waist. It was bulging with stuff and made a rustling sound like silver ingots colliding with each other.

"I hope Madam will be willing to teach me how to implement the 'food supplements' you mentioned. If your method is effective, the Tang family will naturally reward you handsomely."

Lin Qing didn't even glance at the purse he placed on the table, but she was sure that Butler Liu had taken the bait.

After a moment of contemplation, Lin Qing pretended to be profound and said slowly, "Everyone's constitution is different, so the medicinal diet will naturally vary from person to person. If Butler Liu trusts me, I can take a look at the old lady someday so that I can prescribe the right medicine for her condition."

When Shopkeeper Qian heard Lin Qing's words, his pupils kept shrinking in shock.

She, she, this lady, is so brave!

He thought he had a good relationship with the housekeeper Liu, so he didn't dare to make the rash move of asking to visit the Jia Mansion!

She, who made sour jujube cakes, was so bold as to pretend to be a doctor and go to check the old lady's pulse!

If it weren't for the fact that she had just praised him, he would have wanted to find a corner to hide in, or directly tell Butler Liu, "I don't know her! You can kill her or chop her up as you please!"

As Butler Liu listened to Lin Qing's words, a barely perceptible gleam flashed in his eyes.

Lin Qing usually speaks and does things directly and directly, and she had already taken precautions in advance, so she did not think there was anything wrong with her words.

But to Butler Liu's ears, she seemed strange inside and out.

This woman appeared strangely, and she was able to make sour jujube cakes. Now she said she wanted to come to the mansion to check the old lady's pulse.

It seemed like it was coming towards their Tang Mansion.

If his concerns were true, he should not rashly bring anyone into the mansion.

Otherwise, if something really happened to the old lady, his life would definitely be in danger.

Therefore, we must find out her background in advance. If she really has ill intentions, we should immediately have the county magistrate surnamed Jia tie her up.

Butler Liu cleared his throat and smiled in a harmless manner.

"May I ask which famous doctor Madam Lin studied under, where you usually practice medicine, and which families in town often ask you to see a doctor?"

Lin Qing denied them one by one.

Butler Liu's original expectations burst like bubbles in the air, and his suspicion of her deepened.

After asking a few more questions, he already knew the identity of this woman.

On the surface, she is a woman who runs a candied fruit business, but in fact she is a barefoot doctor who cheats people.

She said some mysterious words in order to deceive those ignorant people into buying her pills that "cure all diseases".

He is the steward of the Tang Mansion. Could he be fooled by such a crude trick?

After figuring it out, Butler Liu sneered

.

In order to treat the old lady, he had invited many famous doctors, and even used his connections to find a retired imperial physician from the palace, but he had never found this kind of quack doctor.

Firstly, the master's requirements were strict, and secondly, he really didn't dare to joke about the old lady's health.

What's more, no matter how bold those scammers are, they dare not cheat the Tang family.

Otherwise, he would have to consider whether he would have the life to spend the money he earned.

This lady is truly an exception.

But considering that she made some contribution by making the sour date cake, I will forgive her today.

But if she is still ignorant, don't blame him for being rude.

"Thank you, Madam, for your kindness. However, since you have no medical training and have never actually seen a patient, I find it hard to believe."

Lin Ting was a little surprised when he heard what Butler Liu said. He secretly thought about what he had said wrong just now.

Forget it, words spoken can be taken away. Now that things have come to this, I will just find another way.

"That's fine. If you need anything, Butler Liu, feel free to come find me at the preserves shop."

After saying this, he grabbed the two children and was about to leave, but suddenly turned back and added, "After the end of the month, I will not see you."

Butler Liu looked at her graceful back and was a little dazed for a moment.

He had never seen such a liar who was so blatant and dared to ignore him!

At first, Shopkeeper Qian thought Lin Qing was overestimating her abilities, but when he thought about the various things he had suffered at her hands, he suddenly felt heartbroken and advised:

"Brother Liu, you really shouldn't have let her go! I just didn't listen to her, and that's why I lost money time and time again!

"She dared to say that food can nourish her, so she must have confidence. Why don't you go back home and take a look, in case she really needs to see a doctor."
