"You also know medicine?"

Manman subtly changed the subject.

How old is he? Even if some children mature early, surely he wouldn't know medicine at such a young age?

Lu Feiyan nodded firmly: "Yes, I understand."

Seeing that she didn't believe her, Lu Feiyan grabbed Manman's hand, took her pulse briefly, and examined her facial features and tongue coating.

"You usually feel tired, averse to wind and sweat easily, have a pale complexion, a pale red tongue with a thin white coating, and a floating and slow pulse... Have you been experiencing itchy skin lately? It's worse at night, with hives appearing every night, ranging in size from a bean to a coin, so itchy that you can't sleep. The itching disappears during the day, but scratching your skin causes the hives to reappear and don't go away for a long time... Is that correct?"

"You're absolutely right," Manman said in surprise. "What illness do I have? Can you treat it?"

"Codonopsis pilosula, Ophiopogon japonicus, Schisandra chinensis, Astragalus membranaceus, Angelica sinensis, Paeonia lactiflora... six doses and he recovered."

Lu Feiyan said proudly, "When I was on Fanghu Mountain, my master would send me down the mountain every month to treat the people. Shall I take a look at your wife?"

"Thank you, there is a doctor in the manor." How could the young lady have an unknown person by her side?

“If your household has a physician, he must be a quack.” Lu Feiyan was displeased. “You don’t believe me! I’m not talking to you anymore.”

She picked up the candied fruit and went out of the shop again.

Manman didn't take it seriously. No matter what, she wouldn't let others know her young lady's privacy so easily.

Unexpectedly, Lu Feiyan acted unpredictably and went directly to Xie Zhaozhao.

Standing in front of the carriage, she wanted to knock on Xie Zhaozhao's carriage door, but the four guards would never allow her to approach.

Seeing that she couldn't get close, Lu Feiyan kept a distance of about ten feet and said with a smile, "Madam, hello, my name is Lu Feiyan, and I am a former employee of Xie's Candy Ball Shop."

Xie Zhaozhao saw her through the veil and said with a smile, "Do your job well, Manager Xie will not treat you unfairly."

"Madam, I know medicine. May I examine your complexion?"

Mo Yan, who was driving, naturally wouldn't allow her to look at his master at will, and asked, "What do you want to do?"

"Your wife is sick, I can treat her."

Xie Zhaozhao said through the curtain, "Thank you, miss, but you needn't trouble yourself."

Knowing that she didn't believe her either, Lu Feiyan said again, "Madam, I'm very capable. I can cure most illnesses."

"Since you are so skilled in medicine, why don't you go to a clinic? What are you doing at the candy shop?"

“I’m looking for my brother. He was lost when he was a child, and I have to find him,” Lu Feiyan said stubbornly. “My master said he’s in the capital.”

Xie Zhaozhao stopped talking, and Lu Feiyan pouted and went back to selling candied hawthorns.

Xie Zhaozhao sat in the car listening to her melodious and lively sales pitch; the crisp, energetic voice brought joy to everyone's heart.

"It's her!"

"It really is here."

Suddenly, four men came running up with sticks and ropes in their hands and blocked Lu Feiyan from four directions.

Xie Zhaozhao frowned and said to Mo Yan, "Go and see what's going on?"

Lu Feiyan was a former saleswoman at the candy shop, and she couldn't help but feel protective of her.

Mo Yan walked over and saw that the one leading the group was Zhu Tou, the coachman and bodyguard of Duke Cheng'en.

Zhu Tou angrily pointed at Lu Feiyan: "Take her back! You wretched servant, you're tired of living!"

Mo Yan asked, "What's going on? Do you two know each other?"

Zhu Tou pointed at Lu Feiyan and said, "This is a new maid we bought for the manor. She ran away yesterday."

According to the law, if a servant runs away, the master has the right to catch him, or beat him to death or sell him, which is legal.

Lu Feiyan showed no fear whatsoever. Holding the plate of candy balls, she loudly declared, "I am not his maid, I am a law-abiding citizen!"

"Bullshit... Grab him, gag him, and take him away!"

“I am not their maid,” she shouted. “I will report this to the authorities. Someone is abducting a woman in broad daylight.”

"Report to the authorities? The Duke is an official. Go back and complain to the Duke!" Zhu Tou and the others ignored her and focused on arresting him.

The Duke of Cheng'en was still thinking about her when he went back yesterday, saying that those without parents should be caught and taken as they please. Since she's looking for her brother in the capital, she can't have gone far.

Yesterday, Zhu Tou rode his horse around the streets.

I rode by this morning and looked at her several times before confirming that the girl selling candied hawthorns was the little girl who ran away yesterday.

The person being watched by the Duke of Cheng'en, still dares to dream of escaping?

Mo Yan wanted to step forward to help, but suddenly realized that her worries were unnecessary; those four or five men couldn't hold her at all.

Xie Zhaozhao originally didn't want to get involved, but after listening to their conversation, she got out of the car and asked, "What's going on?"

Lu Feiyan immediately moved closer to her, pointed at Zhu Tou, and said angrily, "Madam, I don't know this person. He insists that I am a servant who ran away from his mansion and wants to take me back."

Xie Zhaozhao looked at Zhu Tou: "Are you sure you haven't mistaken me for someone else?"

Those who frequent the capital city naturally know about Madam Gu and are quite wary of her.

Zhu Tou immediately bowed to Xie Zhaozhao: "Madam Gu, this maid is a servant in the mansion. I need to take her back."

"What's her name?" Xie Zhaozhao asked casually.

Zhu Tou really didn't know her name.

Lu Feiyan said loudly, "Replying to Madam, my name is Zhang Keke."

Zhu Tou immediately said, "Yes, his name is Zhang Ke. He was a newly purchased servant in the manor, but he ran away after only two days. He's clearly a fraud."

Are you sure her name is Zhang Ke?

"Yes." Zhu Tou was still a little nervous, but this silly girl admitted that her name was Zhang Ke. What a jerk.

Lu Feiyan said loudly again, "But my real name is Wang Xiaoya."

Zhu Tou immediately changed his name: "That was your original name. Now you're called Zhang Ke."
