The cruel little princess

"Well then! Then please ask the Princess of Rui'an to save my poor daughter!" Madam Zuo knelt down before Shen Youyou. "Please, Princess, please save Qingqing! She's still too young! If possible, I'd be willing to get sick for her!" Madam Zuo pleaded repeatedly.

Shen Youyou was speechless for a while. I am a doctor and I am in charge of saving people, but I am not Guanyin Bodhisattva, so I am not in charge of making wishes!

"Mrs. Zuo, please get up quickly! I will do my best to save Miss Zuo!" She helped Mrs. Zuo up again.

"Princess Rui'an, how much silver does this cost? I will send my maid back to get the money now! From now on, you have the final say on Qingqing's affairs. Just tell us how to treat her, and we will cooperate!" Madam Zuo promised anxiously.

"Don't worry, there's no need to rush. We can discuss the medical fees after you've been diagnosed. Take the recipe back with you, and you can ask the imperial physician to review it. Just ask your chef to prepare the recipe according to it." Shen Youyou reminded her of the recipe. The reason she gave it to her was because the mistresses were all very cautious, fearing their family members would eat something unclear. So, she simply gave the recipe to her and let her check it herself. Once she confirmed it was correct, she could eat the medicinal food with peace of mind.

"Medicinal diet recipe?" Madam Zuo looked down at the paper in her hand. She originally thought that this was the precautions for Qingqing written by the county lady in the future, but she didn't expect it to be a medicinal diet recipe given by the county lady! "County lady! No need to check! What I say is final! My old man is just a piece of wood and knows nothing! Isn't this a medicinal diet shop? I will order this medicinal diet directly here, for three months first, oh, no, for half a year first! Let Qingqing drink it for a while! As for acupuncture, I will send Qingqing to where the county lady is convenient for acupuncture every day!" After Madam Zuo was sure that her daughter could really recover, she was in a good mood and turned back into the cheerful and generous mistress of the house!

Shen Youyou pondered for a moment, "Then let Miss Zuo come to this herbal medicine shop no later than 1:15 am every day. I will reserve the "vast stars" hall on the third floor for Miss Zuo to decorate. After she comes, she can drink the herbal medicine first, or she can skip breakfast and drink the herbal medicine directly. Then I will give Miss Zuo acupuncture. By the way, I will teach her a set of health-preserving Tai Chi. There is no need to order too much herbal medicine, just order for three months first. After three months, I will adjust it for her according to her physical condition." Shen Youyou directly explained the next arrangements.

"Good! This idea is very good!" Madam Zuo no longer had any worries or anxieties. The more she looked at Rui'an County Lady, the more she liked her. The more she looked at her, the more beautiful she became! And her age was about the same as her second son. The eldest, Zuo Lingfeng, was twenty-three years old and had already married and had children. The second son, Zuo Lingzhi, was nineteen years old and unmarried. He was preparing for the next exam next year. With his knowledge, it would be no problem for him to be in the top three! And his appearance was the best among the three brothers! His character was also good! Needless to say, the third son, Zuo Lingxiao, was a twin with Qingqing, and he was like a naughty monkey every day. Well, the more she looked at her, the more she felt that Rui'an County Lady was the best candidate for her second daughter-in-law! Well, starting tomorrow, let the second son come with her to send Qingqing here for acupuncture!

The more Madam Zuo looked at it, the more she liked it. Unable to resist, she grabbed Shen Youyou's hand and took off a bracelet from her own wrist. Upon closer inspection, she saw it was a white jade phoenix bracelet, delicate and translucent in texture, its color vibrant and pure. In the sunlight, it looked crystal clear and perfectly natural. "County Lady! This bracelet is part of my dowry. It's carved from a single piece of warm jade. Don't despise it; consider it my welcome gift!" She laughed heartily, taking the bracelet and placing it on Shen Youyou's wrist.

Shen Youyou quickly retracted her wrist, "Madam Zuo, such a generous gift is beyond my comprehension!" She took a step back, "I hope Madam will retract your sincerity. I can settle the medical expenses truthfully when the time comes." The implication was that she would not be charged anything other than the medical expenses.

Mrs. Zuo wasn't upset at being rejected. She was actually pleased with Shen Youyou's cleverness and composure. She wasn't the type to be blinded by money. She smiled and put the bracelet back on her wrist. "In that case, I'll keep it for you for a while. You can take it away when the county lady likes it!" she said with a double meaning.

Shen Youyou was a little baffled. She didn't really like these jingling jewelry items. Apart from Su Jing's earrings and hairpins, she usually didn't wear necklaces, collars, bracelets, rings, etc. So she didn't understand Madam Zuo's intentions. She just thought she was giving her a bracelet out of gratitude and didn't think of anything else.

Shen Youyou chatted with Madam Zuo for a while, then hurried out to take care of the shop. Madam Zuo was left alone to look after her daughter. She called her three sons in and gave them a series of instructions: "From now on, when you see the Rui'an County Lady, you must be polite and respectful!" She was a great benefactor to our family! Then, with a smile on her face, she gave her second son some instructions. Although she didn't say it explicitly, she hinted at her intention: she had chosen this daughter-in-law, and the rest was up to her sons!

Zuo Lingzhi laughed in his heart and told his mother directly: "Some time ago, the Princess of Rui'an County made great contributions, and the emperor allowed her to marry freely. Have you forgotten? Dad also mentioned this when he came back."

"Ah?" Madam Zuo was taken aback. "Is that true?" Seeing Zuo Lingzhi and the others nodding in agreement, she sighed again. "I was thinking of asking your father to write a few letters to Lord Shen to explain the situation. I didn't expect Lord Shen couldn't make the decision either?" She sighed and continued, "If Lingzhi, you treat her well and the county lady feels your sincerity, then that's it. I don't care! Anyway, this matter is in your hands, and I'm determined to make it happen!" Zuo Lingzhi had no choice but to agree. He would definitely behave well when he saw the county lady in the future. Madam Zuo gave up.

Several people stayed by Zuo Qingqing's side until noon, when she finally woke up. It had been a long time since she had slept so comfortably! Before, she always woke up in pain or felt cold, but it felt so good to feel her hands and feet warm like now! She reluctantly opened her eyes and saw the mother and her two children sitting by the bed!

"Mom! Big brother, second brother, third brother! What are you doing in my room?" She completely forgot that she had sneaked out of the house in the morning.

"Your room? Little sister, take a closer look!" Zuo Lingxiao teased her deliberately. Just now, the four of them, mother and son, had heard from Xiaolan that Qingqing wanted to come here to seek medical treatment, but she was afraid that if she couldn't be cured, they would be disappointed, so she secretly ran away with Xiaolan. She didn't expect that their concern would put so much pressure on her! If it weren't for God's blessing that she met the Princess of Rui'an, she would probably be separated from her forever! Thinking of this, they were terrified!

At this time, Zuo Qingqing also realized clearly that the environment she was in was not her own boudoir, but a place she had never seen before. The decoration was fresh and elegant, and there was a faint fragrance, which made her feel at ease.

"Mom! Where are we?" Zuo Qingqing was a little at a loss. Where was this? She only remembered that she had secretly run out of the house with Xiaolan in the morning, and then walked towards the direction of the Rejuvenating Medicinal Food Shop. But the weather was too cold, and she suddenly fell ill and passed out... Thinking of this, she raised her eyes and looked at her mother quietly. Well, her mother's face was ashen, and she was obviously angry! She stretched out her hand obediently, "Mom! I know I was wrong, you can beat me if you want!"

Mrs. Zuo's heart softened as she looked at her well-behaved and sensible daughter. "Qingqing, I'm angry with myself for not protecting you well!" She held Qingqing in her arms, tears streaming silently, for her daughter's survival and hope for a bright future.

Seeing that her mother was crying with anger, Zuo Qingqing quickly hugged her mother and comforted her, "Mom! I will never leave the house again. I will stay at home with you every day! Mom, please don't cry..." She winked at her brothers, signaling them to comfort their mother quickly!

At critical moments, it is still the second brother who is reliable. "Mom, don't cry. Why don't you tell Qingqing the good news and make her happy?" Zuo Lingzhi signaled his mother to stop crying and quickly tell her the news that his younger sister can be cured!

"Oh, yes! You see, mother forgets everything once she is happy!" Mrs. Zuo wiped her tears with a silk handkerchief, and told Zuo Qingqing with tears and laughter everything that happened after she fainted.

"Mom, are you saying that I'll be fine in the future?" Zuo Qingqing also looked incredulous.

"Yes, yes, yes! But you have to come here for acupuncture starting tomorrow, and you have to take a medicated diet for three months! You also have to learn Tai Chi from the county lady! It's in the "Vast Stars" room on the third floor of this rejuvenation medicated diet room. The county lady has reserved it for you!"
