As the eldest son in the family, Jiang Bocai spent the most time at home and knew Jiang Mianmian's capabilities best.

She can't speak properly, can't do anything, and always makes things worse! What's most infuriating is her selfish and unruly nature; she even dared to impersonate a miracle doctor! If the Ye family finds out the truth, it will definitely implicate them!

I had to explain quickly, “&*¥%!”

He drooled and still couldn't explain clearly, so he had to tug hard at Jiang Ranran.

Jiang Ranran understood immediately, put down Uncle Jiang, and rushed forward, seemingly with good intentions, saying:

“This young man must have come to the wrong person. My sister is good at cooking, but she doesn’t know medicine, let alone the miracle doctor you’re talking about.”

'Good at cooking'—that's clearly written on the household registration documents for women.

Everyone looked puzzled. Right, he was just a good cook a moment ago, how did he turn into a miracle doctor now?

This is a cross-industry, cross-level transformation!

Jiu Niang and the others weren't worried. Mianmian really didn't know how to heal, and they could just explain it away if she mistook someone for someone else.

However, the next moment, Jiang Mianmian smiled at the guard and said, "If it is Granny Zhao who is here, then she must be looking for me. Also, just call me Miss Jiang."

This was a tactful way of declining the title of "miracle doctor," but it did acknowledge that he knew Granny Zhao, who belonged to the Ye family.

Jiu Niang and the others: "Huh???"

The others were even more astonished:

How could a girl who grew up in a brothel be worthy of being associated with the Ye family, the richest family in the world?

Jiang Ranran's face darkened, making the handprint even more obvious. She exclaimed in shock, "How is this possible..."

She had barely started when she gritted her teeth and abruptly stopped.

Although I don't know why this wretched woman has gotten involved with the Ye family, things have come to this point, and I absolutely cannot lose face in front of Granny Zhao!

After all, she's going to be the matriarch of the Ye family! Without her authority, how can she manage these servants? When that happens, this wretched woman won't be allowed to step foot inside the Ye family's gates!

Jiang Mianmian was unaware of her scheming. Seeing that she didn't cause any trouble, she glanced at her in surprise.

That would save us a lot of trouble, so he looked at Jiu Niang and the others and said, "It's alright, I'll explain in detail to you later."

"That's fine."

They breathed a sigh of relief and quickly retreated into the yard.

Ultimately, it's not a good reputation, and we can't let Mianmian be embarrassed.

Just then, Granny Zhao arrived quickly. "Miss, you're finally back! This old servant has come today to bring you the good news!"

"But is the old lady alright?"

Jiang Mianmian immediately said, "This humble girl congratulates the old lady on her good health and well-being. I am sure I can share in the joy today."

The two clashed upon meeting, each slightly surprised by the other.

Jiang Mianmian never expected that a simple "it can be counted" from Granny Zhao would reveal that the Ye family was investigating her whereabouts! Was this open disclosure a sign of sincerity, an attempt to win her over, a genuine desire to befriend her as a divine healer? Or was it a display of power, a threat to prevent her from taking advantage of her kindness?

I'm not sure, I'll think about it some more! But this gift, from any perspective, must be accepted.

Granny Zhao was surprised that the girl, who had repeatedly refused her at the city gate that day, showed no surprise at all when the two met again. Instead, she seemed to have expected it and knew that the girl would come, and readily agreed to share in the good fortune.

What happened to the promise of no thanks needed for a small favor? I feel like I've been tricked!

However, she quite liked this quick wit. "Haha, it's all thanks to Doctor Jiang's skillful hands! As soon as the old lady woke up, she blamed me for not keeping you here!"

Zhao Mama pointed to the three large carts of goods, "These were all carefully selected by the old lady as a token of her appreciation."

As they were talking, someone came up with a gift list and loudly joined in.

"Ten boxes of Zhiweizhai pastries, ten boxes of candies, ten boxes of preserved fruits..."

"Ten catties of Li's braised pork, ten catties of cured pork, ten catties of cured fish, and ten catties of various meatballs..."

"Ten bolts of fine cotton cloth, ten bolts of brocade, and ten bolts of cloud-patterned yarn from Jinfangzhai..."

"Ten boxes of Ningcui Fang fragrant balm, ten boxes of skin-beautifying cream, and ten boxes of various flower oils..."

"Twenty brocade skirts, twenty padded jackets, and twenty cloaks..."

In addition to these, there are also some common medicinal herbs and books.

Jiang Mianmian's eyes lit up as she listened. These weren't particularly valuable items, enough to make people envious, but not enough to cause jealousy or envy. Besides, these were exactly what she needed right now!

No matter how much or how good the supplies are in the warehouse, nothing beats the convenience of having them properly sourced and used!

But she overlooked the fact that while these items are not expensive individually, they are quite expensive when combined!

That number is enough to drive anyone mad with envy!

Everyone watched with bated breath, almost overwhelmed by the title of "Dr. Jiang" and the constant stream of information presented.

I regret not just leaving earlier, so I wouldn't be so itchy to see it but not be able to touch it now!

I'm also glad I didn't leave earlier, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to witness such a grand scene at the Ye family's residence!

Jiang Ranran's face wasn't just turning black; her vision went black, and she fainted.

These things belong to the Ye family, so they should belong to her!

But now they've all been given away for nothing! And to that bitch, no less!

Jiang Bocai was both angry and anxious. He ran over despite the pain, but he couldn't catch her and she fell to the ground.

"&%!!"

After the singing and chanting ended, everyone got busy, unloading things little by little to prepare for moving them inside.

Jiu Niang quickly opened a storage room, but since it was raining, it wasn't appropriate to put the items directly in the yard.

For a time, people were busy carrying things and holding umbrellas, yet everything was done in an orderly manner.

The onlookers smacked their lips incessantly, their eyes glazed over, their heads tracing arcs in the air as they followed the movements of the Ye family servants.

Granny Zhao was very satisfied with the result, and then revealed her second purpose, "I wonder when Doctor Jiang will be free? The old lady would like to invite you over for tea and wine."

This time, Jiang Mianmian did not agree. "The old lady has just recovered and still needs to rest. I will visit her again if there is an opportunity in the future."

He patted her hand again and slipped her a note, saying, "Granny is a thoughtful person and will surely understand my intentions."

Their eyes met, then quickly looked away.

Granny Zhao felt a chill run down her spine. After exchanging a few pleasantries, she led her people back to the mansion.

Lingxiao Tower also closed its back door.

The crowd gradually left, leaving only a few idle men.

Jiang Ranran slowly woke up and saw that the back door of Lingxiao Tower was tightly closed. Obviously, all those things had been moved in long ago. She was so heartbroken that tears streamed down her face.

She choked up as she said, "Brother, no matter how much my sister wants a good reputation, she can't lie to the Ye family that she knows medicine and make such a big fuss. What will she do in the future if she's exposed?"

At this point, she seemed to realize something, "Ah, I was overthinking it, after all, there's that pampered one from the Ye family..."

"&%¥?"

Jiang Bocai helped her up and pointed to his chin.

"Oh dear, brother, your chin! It's all my fault. Let's hurry to the clinic."

Jiang Ranran looked annoyed and, ignoring the others who were waiting for her to continue, she and Uncle Jiang helped each other to the clinic.

The idlers looked on with interest. "So Jiang Mianmian doesn't know medicine. She's hooked up with some old or young master in the Ye family, and they're just putting on a show for her!"

"You still think she's something special? She's just selling her body, ptooey!"

Jiang Ranran's few words gave them an outlet for their jealousy and resentment, and their words became increasingly blatant.

At the end of the alley, the young man in the blue robe stared intently at the group of idlers, his face ashen.
