Reborn as a devoted sister-in-law, she leads the entire village to prosperity.

"Don't worry, Miss Yu. I will inform the magistrate shortly and have the guards maintain a state of emergency to prevent them from escaping."

“If they refuse to return it, then have the magistrate throw them into prison,” another constable, Guo Da, added.

Ji was now truly panicked: "You, you're in cahoots with her..."

"Yu Banxia, ​​Miss Yu, please have mercy! We really don't have that much money. Please, please spare my son and me."

"How about I write you an IOU? I promise to repay you double the amount when my son passes the imperial examinations."

Ji was truly frightened and knelt down in front of Yu Banxia with a thud.

Cheng Da felt sorry for himself as he kept slapping his own face.

He gritted his teeth, and just as he was hesitating, Ji's eyes rolled back and she fainted.

Yu Banxia rolled her eyes speechlessly. Doctor Zhang quickly stepped forward to take her pulse, and then a look of surprise appeared in his eyes.

He looked at Yu Banxia, ​​then at Cheng Da: "Um... she was so anxious and didn't get enough rest because she's pregnant, so she fainted."

Cheng Dayi was overjoyed to hear this and immediately asked how old the child was. Doctor Zhang estimated the age by feeling the pulse.

Cheng Da happily rubbed his hands together; that must be the child she conceived the night she came to see him.

“Son, don’t panic. I don’t have thirty-three taels, but I’m not far off. I’ll go borrow some more later and we’ll be able to make up the difference.”

"Miss Yu, here is a twenty-tael silver note, three taels of loose silver, and ten taels that I will give to you within two days at the latest." Cheng Da was in a state of excitement after learning that Madam Ji was pregnant.

Xu Ziyan glanced at his mother with a complicated expression; this child might not necessarily be Cheng Da's.

However, he couldn't say that although Cheng Da was a bit of a scoundrel, he was still a good person, at least he was very kind to him and his mother.

"Thank you dad."

Seeing his appearance, Yu Banxia couldn't help but sneer: "He's supposed to be a scholar, yet he relies on others all day long. He's truly an incompetent and useless person."

"You!" Xu Ziyan was furious and roared in embarrassment, "Yu Banxia, ​​don't be so unreasonable!"

"Didn't you come here looking for humiliation? Hehehe, I'm so angry!" Yu Banxia made a face at him, making Xu Ziyan so angry that he almost blew smoke.

Under the acupuncture treatment of Doctor Zhang, Lady Ji slowly woke up.

"What's wrong with me?" Ji Shi asked weakly, leaning against Cheng Da's chest.

Cheng Da briefly recounted what had happened. A hint of panic flashed in Ji's eyes, which was then replaced by a look of shrewdness and regret.

If I had known that Cheng Da had money, I shouldn't have come to cause trouble. Now look what happened, I've lost thirty-three taels of silver for nothing. If I hadn't come to cause trouble, that money would have been mine.

"Yu Banxia, ​​I'll remember you. When my son passes the imperial examination, I'll see how you regret it!" Ji was helped up by Cheng Da.

Because she was worried about the money, Ji said something harshly.

Yu Banxia shrugged, looking indifferent.

The three men arrived smugly and triumphantly, but left dejectedly.

Uncle Yanping leaned lazily against the pillar behind Yu Banxia, ​​watching her easily deal with the three people, and found it amusing.

I never expected this little fox to have such an adorable side.

After driving away the Xu family, nothing else bothered them.

As evening approached, Cheng Da came over and returned the remaining ten taels to Yu Banxia: "Miss Yu, may I have that account book?"

“I won’t give it to you. I’ll tear it off and burn it. What do you think?” Yu Banxia asked Cheng Da.

Cheng Da nodded: "That's for the best."

Yu Banxia nodded, asked the waiter to bring a basin, tore off a piece of paper from the booklet, lit it, and placed it in the basin.

Cheng Da watched the paper burn before leaving, relieved.

After seeing off Cheng Da and finishing with the last few patients, Yu Banxia stretched and prepared to go back to the Qian family's house tonight. Zhang Wanqing and Qian Qiwen had also come to visit in the afternoon.

Seeing that Yu Banxia was busy, he stayed for a while and then went back.

Yu Banxia told them that she would be staying at the Qian family's house that night, so Zhang Wanqing immediately went back to arrange to cook her favorite dishes for dinner.

Uncle Yanping brought her a cup of tea: "To quench your thirst."

"Thank you." Yu Banxia took it, checked the temperature, and drank it down in large gulps; she really was quite thirsty.

This man has a good eye.

"I'll take you to the Qian family's house. I'll also go out for a stroll," Uncle Yanping said with a smile.

Just as Yu Banxia was about to reply, a familiar voice came: "Little sister, your brother has come to take you home. Are you all done with your work?"

Turning around, I saw Qian Qiwen leading Ping An in.

Qian Qiwen glanced at Uncle Yanping and immediately sensed that the man's intentions were impure. Qian Qiwen instantly became wary.

"Little sister, who is this young master?" Qian Qiwen was not a rash person. If his little sister was also interested in this man, he should ask his father to investigate his family background.

To prevent my younger sister from being deceived and suffering later.

If his younger sister has no intention of doing anything, he, as her older brother, must protect her.

"This is Uncle Yanping, also known as Young Master Yan. He is my patient and is temporarily staying at Huichun Pavilion. He and my master are old acquaintances," Yu Banxia introduced to Qian Qiwen after glancing at Uncle Yanping.

Qian Qiwen's heart sank instantly; it seemed his younger sister had a bit of a crush on this person.

He's not my biological brother after all, so I can't interfere too much.

Then we can only check this person's identity. If he has good character and a decent family background, then we can rest assured.

"I see. Hello, Young Master Yan. I am Xiaxia's fourth brother, Qian Qiwen." Qian Qiwen greeted him politely.

Uncle Yanping also bowed to him in greeting: "Greetings, Young Master Qian. Since you have come to fetch Miss Yu, Miss Yu, you should go back and rest with your fourth brother as soon as possible. You must be tired today."

"You've worked hard today too; you helped me write all the prescriptions for the rest of the day," Yu Banxia said with a smile.

Uncle Yanping smiled and said, "Miss Yu saved my life. I'm just helping to write a prescription. It's nothing."

"Alright, I'll head back now. I'll need your help tomorrow and the day after." Yu Banxia said cheerfully, and Uncle Yanping nodded and said it was no trouble at all.

Qian Qiwen got into the carriage with her and then said, "If my little sister needs someone to help write the prescription, your fourth brother can also come and help."

"Hasn't Fourth Brother already gone back to the academy to repeat his studies? Fourth Brother just needs to focus on his studies. Young Master Yan is just idling around anyway, so let him do what he wants."

Seeing her say that, Qian Qiwen thought for a moment and cautiously asked, "Little sister seems to value that Young Master Yan very much?"

"It's alright." Yu Banxia sensed something was off about his words and didn't pursue the conversation further.

She did have a good impression of Uncle Yanping, but since he hadn't revealed his true identity to her and was still holding back, she wouldn't foolishly fall head over heels for him.

She plans to live here in the future, and if she can find a man who catches her eye, she would be willing to have a relationship.
