After being reborn as a man, the woman improved her family's fortunes through education.

"Madam? What's wrong...?"

Cui'er put down the copper basin and face towel in her hands and hurriedly went out to call Granny Zhou in.

Upon hearing this, Granny Zhou hurriedly entered the lady's inner room and was shocked to see Lin Yueniang on the bed.

For a moment, he was speechless, staring intently at that familiar face, which looked seven or eight years younger than before, now appearing to be only twenty-seven or twenty-eight.

"Miss?" Granny Zhou wanted to call out to confirm.

"Granny Zhou, what's wrong with Cui'er? Is she possessed?"

"She's not possessed, Madam. You should take a look in the mirror. Don't go out these next few days, and don't go to pay your respects to the old lady. Just say you've got a prescription and are taking care of your health, and you can't be exposed to the wind."

Lin Yueniang was completely bewildered. Had things really changed so much? Shouldn't things have changed little by little?

Without saying a word, Granny Zhou brought over a bronze mirror and placed it in front of Lin Yueniang.

"This, this is me?"

The person in the mirror, now in their late twenties, looks so much better than when they were haggard.

He gently brushed his hands across the bronze mirror, his fingertips touching the person's reflection, as if waking from a dream.

"Yes, this really is me!"

Although she hasn't returned to her pre-marriage state, she's already in much better shape. At least her gray hair is gone, her wrinkles are gone, she looks much more energetic, and her skin is rosy instead of pale and colorless.

Cui'er was still confused. Was this really something she and the young master had made last night? Why did she also feel like eating it?

Jiang Xiaoqi had already evaporated the excess water from the ten youth-preserving pills that had been melted yesterday, and asked Cui'er to help roll the remaining medicine back into nine pills.

Fortunately, after all that fuss, there was no damage.

After the pills have dried a bit, put them into a white porcelain bottle and put the stopper on.

"Young master, please go and see Madam."

"What's wrong with my mother? Could it be the youth-preserving pill from yesterday?"

Jiang Xiaoqi rushed to her mother's room, and was immediately struck by her beauty.

It's all settled! His future is secure. With such a beautiful mother, Jiang Xiaoqi is bound to be even more handsome than Pan An in the future!

I was an ugly woman for thirty-eight years in my past life. Even though I'm the wrong gender in this life, it's worth it to be able to give him a nice face!

"Mommy, you are so beautiful."

"Ming'er, Dr. Wang actually has such a miraculous prescription? And he just gave it away so easily?"

"This recipe is said to have been used by the ladies in the palace, so it naturally has beauty and skin-nourishing effects."

Doctor Wang's ancestors were imperial physicians of the previous dynasty, and this prescription has been sealed away for a long time.

He also wanted to find an opportunity to bring Fangzi back to light, but he didn't want to use the Wang family's name.

Giving it to me was also a way of inviting me to become their disciple and pass on the Wang family's medical skills.

After all, only the eldest doctor remained in the Wang family; he had no children and didn't want the family line to end.

"Is that so?" Lin Yueniang was still somewhat skeptical.

Granny Zhou, who was standing to the side, seemed to understand something: "Actually, it's not surprising. Doctor Wang's current apprentice is very stupid. He has been following Doctor Wang for more than ten years but has not learned much skill."

"I'm afraid Doctor Wang has been searching for a bright child to take on as an apprentice." Granny Zhou felt she had figured it out.

“I see. What you say makes sense, Granny. But this gift is still too much. Granny, please take out a hundred taels of silver and prepare the apprenticeship gift for tomorrow when I formally become an apprentice.”

Jiang Xiaoqi remained calm. He had asked Doctor Wang's apprentice, and Doctor Wang's ancestors were indeed imperial physicians, so most of what he had just said was true.

"Mother, quickly call my two older sisters over to see, they will be very surprised too."

Lin Yueniang felt a little embarrassed. She was almost thirty-five years old, but she was still living with the appearance she had taken a few years ago.

Granny Zhou was quite pleased. Her young mistress had prematurely grayed and her appearance had become dull over the years, and she had always felt sorry for her.

In reality, Lin Yueniang only became five or six years younger after consuming just one Youth Preservation Pill, but her beauty made her appear even younger.

"Oh, right, Mother, these are pills made from the leftover medicine from yesterday. Take one tonight and another tomorrow night. Keep the rest safe."

"Do you want to eat more? I think it's already very good. Would it be too much to eat more? After all, I'm already the mother of you three siblings. If I were too young, it would attract too much attention."

"Mother can decide for herself. Anyway, the things have been given to you, so just keep them safe. You can use them whenever you feel the need."

"You clever little devil, alright, then I'll listen to you. Keep these two, and the rest for your sisters as dowry."

"Mother, keep it for yourself. The sisters can make more later."

Does anyone know if processing the anti-aging pills once will affect their shelf life? The sisters are only a few years old, why would they need them?

By the time we need it, it will be ten or twenty years later, and we don't want it to have grown moldy!

Granny Zhou felt that it was secondary to let the young ladies see it; it would be better to invite the young master over. Back in the day, the young master and the young ladies had been in love for several years.

If the son-in-law saw the young lady in her current state, he would surely return to the main courtyard more often.

Thinking of this, Granny Zhou spoke up.

"No need!"

"No need!"

The mother and son spoke in unison.

They glanced at each other and couldn't help but laugh.

"Yes, women dress up for those who appreciate them, but I'm long past that age, Granny, times have changed."

I have sons and daughters; I don't need the appreciation and pampering of a dispensable man.

Jiang Xiaoqi: Yes, Mom is very open-minded and clear-headed, which is good.

Men will only slow us down when we draw our swords!

Granny Zhou was helpless, but the master was indeed being a bit absurd. Before he passed the imperial examination, he was still studying at home, but now he was attending poetry gatherings more and more frequently.

Sigh, it would be better if they actually attended the poetry gathering, rather than just lingering in brothels.

The master is about to go to the county school to study, where he will live and eat. I'm afraid he won't be able to come back for a month at a time.

"You little rascal, go and fetch your two older sisters."

"Yes, Mother!"
