After transmigrating into the book, I helped my mother reconcile with her divorced husband.

Old Madam Lu moved back to Fulin Courtyard, citing her inability to sleep there. Before leaving, the nanny, claiming that the old lady was not in good spirits, went to Lu Zhiyuan's pharmacy and rummaged through some medicinal herbs. Lu Zhiyuan did not stop them, letting them pick and choose in the pharmacy.

The old woman was very greedy, only taking the largest of things like lingzhi mushrooms and deer antlers. Little did she know that real wild lingzhi mushrooms are all small; the large ones were cultivated by herbalists, and many of them were poisonous. As for the deer antlers, the ones that looked good were fake, while the ones they carelessly discarded were the real ones.

Liu Ying stood behind Lu Zhiyuan, craning her neck to look inside: "Miss, how come there are fake deer antlers in our pharmacy? Could it be that the Third Young Master is being fooled?"

“It has nothing to do with my uncle; I bought it myself.” Lu Zhiyuan lowered her head and touched her nose.

The villa had rats, and so did the mansion. Just in case, they tampered with the medicine when they brought it back. Not only were there fake deer antlers, but also fake ginseng and fake Tian Shan snow lotus. By putting the real and fake, the poisonous and the non-poisonous together, only an experienced doctor could tell the difference.

Liu Ying swallowed hard: "If the old lady eats that poisonous Ganoderma lucidum, will the Marquis cause trouble for you, Miss?"

Lu Zhiyuan's eyes lit up, and she told Liuying to remind the nanny that the medicinal herb she had taken was wrong. The nanny naturally wouldn't listen to Liuying, so Liuying took the opportunity to complain to Lu Huai, saying that the nanny ignored all advice and insisted on taking those poisonous Ganoderma lucidum.

The fireflies made a loud noise, attracting the attention of the maids and servants who all stopped to watch. Ji Wanwan, always eager for chaos, naturally wouldn't miss such an opportunity. She deliberately said to Lu Huai, "Yuan'er is really stingy. Not only is she unwilling to give the large Ganoderma lucidum to the old lady, but she also had the maid make up a lie, saying that the large Ganoderma lucidum is poisonous. Everyone knows that Ganoderma lucidum is a good thing. How could something so good be poisonous? If it were truly poisonous, why would Yuan'er keep it in her own pharmacy?"

Liu Ying looked at Ji Wanwan and sneered, "Have you ever eaten mushrooms, Miss? Mushrooms are divided into edible and inedible, poisonous and non-poisonous. Like wild mushrooms, some mountain lingzhi can be life-saving, while others can be harmful. Even harmful things can have different uses depending on who they fall into. My young lady understands medicine. In her hands, this poisonous lingzhi can save lives, but if the old lady eats it, something bad will happen."

"Poisonous Ganoderma, right?" Ji Wanwan broke off a piece and put it in her mouth. "Little girl, do you have anything else to say?"

"No! I've said everything I should and shouldn't have said. If the Marquis and Miss don't believe me, they can take this Ganoderma lucidum back and make soup." Liu Ying rolled her eyes at Ji Wanwan: "Everyone, be my witnesses, this poisonous Ganoderma lucidum wasn't given to the Old Madam by my young lady."

"Yes, yes, it has nothing to do with your young lady. It's a gift I gave to the old lady." Ji Wanwan spat out the Ganoderma lucidum from her mouth. "Brother Huai, Wanwan has tried it, and this Ganoderma lucidum is no different from the ones sold in pharmacies outside. Yuan'er must be worried about these Ganoderma lucidum and can't bear to give them to her grandmother!"

"You unfilial brat, just like her mother." Lu Huai gestured for the nanny to take away the poisonous Ganoderma lucidum, then angrily flicked his sleeve at Lu Zhiyuan.

Lu Zhiyuan pulled Liu Ying back a few steps.

Heaven and earth bear witness that it was not she who sent Old Madam Lu to the underworld.

When they first arrived yesterday, they were still somewhat wary, fearing that Lu Zhiyuan would use her relationship with Commander Ma to go to the Xie family and cry. But seeing that she tolerated it, they treated her as an ordinary eight-year-old child.

With the old lady absent and Lu Huai not concerned with trivial matters, Ji Wanwan acted as if she were the new mistress of the house. First, she had Lu Zhiyuan's belongings moved to the guest room, and then she brazenly moved her own things together with Lu Huai's. Not only that, she also occupied Lu Zhiyuan's study, claiming it was for Lu Jingyuan to use for reading.

Lu Zhiyuan's quiet demeanor inevitably aroused Ji Wanwan's suspicion. She had become much more obedient overnight. The maidservant in front of her was also assigned to her by the old lady; she was adept at pleasing her mistress.

Seeing her frown, he quickly moved closer and said, "She's just a sickly person. In the other courtyard, she was easily manipulated by those servants. When Xie Chaoyun was around, she had her mother protecting her and the Xie family backing her up, so she naturally had more backbone. Now that she's lost her mother and is no longer favored by the old lady and the marquis, she has no choice but to keep a low profile."

Ji Wanwan gestured to her maid to massage her shoulders, saying in a light but firm tone, "Even if they're divorced, she's still the Xie family's granddaughter."

The maidservant flattered, "What Madam said is true, but she still has to be able to go out. An eight-year-old child, I don't believe she can cause any trouble in Madam's hands. Now that the old lady is gone, the Marquis doesn't care about the affairs of the inner quarters, so you, Madam, are the most important person in this courtyard."

Ji Wanwan was delighted by the maid's praise and ordered someone to take the key from Lu Zhiyuan's hand, ostensibly to help her manage Fangfei Courtyard.

Lu Zhiyuan's calm demeanor led her to mistakenly believe that the maid's words had come true, and that she had decided to bully her. Lu Zhiyuan ignored her, letting her act arrogantly, and even didn't object to her moving to a more secluded guest room.

Ji Wanwan was so smug that she didn't notice that Lu Yun, who had always protected Lu Zhiyuan, was gone.

Lu Zhiyuan disliked large crowds. Besides Lu Yun and Liu Ying, there was a cook, a female cook who helped with the cooking, and a maid who managed the pharmacy in the courtyard. The cook, the female cook, and the maid were a family of three. There were also two servants who cleaned the courtyard and two maids who handled miscellaneous tasks, one of whom also managed the storeroom.

They were all from the Xie family, and it was her second uncle who specially arranged for them to protect her.

The servants and maids all knew martial arts.

Lu Zhiyuan knew, Liu Ying knew, Lu Yun knew, but the Lu family and Ji Wanwan did not.

In the guest room, Liu Ying looked at the mess scattered all over the floor and was furious: "Miss, what are we putting up with?"

"Just bear with it and watch the show. What can you bear?" Lu Zhiyuan looked around the guest room. It was small and damp, not suitable for living, especially for someone like her with poor health. "No need to tidy it up. We'll move back in a couple of days."

"In a couple of days?" Liu Ying looked outside. The old lady had left, and Ji Wanwan couldn't wait to move her and Lu Yun's things to the master bedroom. "Does she look like she'll be able to walk?"

"Don't worry, it will leave." Lu Zhiyuan yawned as she went to find Lu Jingyuan.

Lu Jingyuan was playing with crickets in his study when Lu Zhiyuan entered. He quickly hid the crickets behind his back. Lu Zhiyuan beckoned to him with a mysterious look: "I have something even more fun than crickets here. Do you want to try it?"

Lu Zhiyuan brought a suitcase full of toys, including a kaleidoscope, a bamboo dragonfly, a little wooden bird, a toy car that could run on its own, and a toy train that could turn on its own. Lu Jingyuan had never seen such strange things before, and he was immediately attracted to them.

"Where did you find these? I've never seen them before!" Lu Jingyuan held the toy car with obvious delight. "Is this a car? Why does it have four wheels? Where do you tie the horse?"

“This is a car. There aren’t any in Beiliang. My uncle brought it back from a foreign land.” Lu Zhiyuan stopped the toy train that was running around randomly. “If you like it, I’ll have my uncle send some more back.”

"I love it, I love it, all of these are mine." Lu Jingyuan hugged the things to his arms: "Your little uncle is mine too."
