Chapter 478 Drugging

"Dr. Li, you really came!"

Yingge, being the youngest, smiled happily when she saw that Li Sanniang had actually come to see them off.

Already young, this smile made her face appear even more beautiful.

Looking at these beautiful young women, Li San Niang was overjoyed and smiled.

Green Ripple and Red Sleeve were more composed. They first bowed to Li San Niang before looking over with smiles.

Looking at the three young women before her, who looked like flower buds, and remembering what Jin Niangzi had said about giving them a sum of money to let them leave, Li San Niang couldn't help but feel a little worried.

"These girls are raised from childhood to sell their bodies and please men. If you give them a sum of money and let them go out to live independently, I don't know if they can make it."

However, looking at Lüyi, who was the only one among the three who had some independent thoughts, Li Sanniang felt that if they stayed together, they might not necessarily die.

At this moment, Lüyi, the backbone of the three, stepped forward and handed over a small box, saying, "I'm so grateful to Doctor Li for coming to treat us earlier."

We learned from the lady that Dr. Li's family has a little girl. These are the earrings that the three of us pooled our money to buy at Jinji. They will be worn by the little girl after she gets her ears pierced.

Dr. Li, please don't mind, it's just a small token of our appreciation.

Li San Niang was surprised that Lü Yi and the others had brought her gifts. After hesitating for a moment, Li San Niang said to Lü Yi with a determined look, "It's not easy for a woman to be born into this world. As long as you have a down-to-earth and sincere heart, there is no obstacle that you can't overcome."

If you leave the Jin family in the future, don't rush to find men. Open a cosmetics shop and do business with women. It would be best if you could support yourselves.

If I meet a good man later, it's not too late to talk about marriage.

At this point, Li San Niang stood up and bowed. The three of them, including Lü Yi, were a little confused by what she said, but they still bowed to Li San Niang again one by one.

Afterwards, Li Sanniang stood aside and watched as the dozen or so carriages embarked on the road away from Chang'an City and headed into the distance.

Li San Niang, carrying two wooden boxes, one large and one small, boarded the carriage with Qiu Xiang and headed back to the Li family home.

Inside the departing Jin family carriage, Madam Jin sat with her personal maid. Madam Jin looked up out the window, and a gentle spring breeze blew in, caressing her face.

The old woman's hands were busy peeling melon seeds for Jin Niangzi, and her mouth was also busy as she peeled them. The old woman said in a relaxed and cheerful tone, "Now the lady's heart should be at ease."

This time, I followed my husband back to our hometown. After the funeral of my husband is over, and after a while, I will release those few sluts and give them a way to make a living. Then my wife can live a good life at home.

The servants back home say the young master's eyes resemble his wife's.

The old woman was usually quiet and reserved in public, but she was quite talkative in front of Lady Jin.

She kept nagging until the old woman peeled a small dish of melon seeds and said, "Wife, try some, they're so delicious."

Jin Niangzi averted her gaze from the scenery outside the carriage window, turned her head to look at the plate of melon seeds and meat that the old woman was offering her, and couldn't help but laugh, "The carriage is bumpy, you really went to the trouble of making this, what's wrong with me eating one less bite?"

However, Jin Niangzi still accepted the warm towel handed to her by the old woman, wiped her hands clean, and then picked up the melon seeds from the small dish and started eating.

As she chewed, the fragrant oils burst in her mouth, and Jin Niangzi's already good mood became even better.

"Sigh, those three little ones, they've been obedient for so many years, no matter what."

When the time comes, I'll send them away, and we'll make sure they get all the money they're owed.

If they still recognize the house in the future, it wouldn't be unreasonable to invite them in for a chat later.

What I'm afraid of are those three. They don't want to leave our house. If they start making a scene, that would be truly ugly.

After the old woman poured a cup of tea for Jin Niangzi, she looked at Jin Niangzi and said, "Among the three of them, Luyi is the one with some brains. I'm sure she will understand once you express this meaning, Madam."

Whether they really want to leave this house or not, knowing how to behave is their survival skill. Don't worry, my lady, they certainly won't dare to cause trouble.

Besides, the lady is going home to enjoy being an old lady; what's the point of keeping those young maids around?

Even if they were willing to confine themselves to the backyard, wouldn't that still attract gossip?

Moreover, that would make it seem like we've been mistreating people.

Also, my wife, you mustn't be soft-hearted. Although your husband has married, your grandson has been born.

But the second young master and his wife are not yet married, and their ages are not much different from those of the young lady, Lüyi. After all, Lüyi is the young master's concubine, and to put it more broadly, she is the stepmother of the eldest young master. Should we keep them so that the young masters born to the wives can bow to them?

"The fact that you gave them money and let them leave is already an immense kindness. If they don't listen and don't comply, they'll truly have no shame."

The old woman's words struck a chord with Jin Niangzi. She stopped eating melon seeds and lowered her head, asking softly, "Was everything handled perfectly over there? Are you sure there won't be any loose ends?"

The old woman lowered her head and leaned closer to Jin Niangzi, lowering her voice to barely a whisper, saying, "Don't worry, Madam, it's all taken care of."

The method involved arranging for someone to ask the mother in the building about the medicine, and the mother assumed that the person wanted the medicine to enhance their mood.

This person was just passing by and didn't know who the people who had asked him to do this were.

The man took the money, gave the medicine, and went straight to another place.

As for the waiter who drugged the master at the inn where he stayed, he had already taken the money and obediently worked for another half month before asking the innkeeper for his resignation and leaving the inn to return to his hometown to farm.

The waiter didn't know who had asked him to drug the master, nor did he know where the master lived.

As for the master, if he had heeded his wife's words and not delayed his health by looking for a woman to amuse himself on the road, and had instead taken good care of himself, he wouldn't have let the drug take over his body and died directly.

"My lady, don't worry, we did the right thing. It was all for the sake of our eldest son and the others."

The old woman grasped Jin Niangzi's hand, and Jin Niangzi grasped it back. Jin Niangzi lowered her head and pondered for a moment before slowly speaking: "At first, I thought I would let him gradually deplete his vital energy, just so that he would be less capable and not cause any more trouble by getting any other woman pregnant."

Who would have thought that his body would be completely useless!

Luckily, Wang Da, who was beside him, was a smart guy and used a sudden cold as an excuse. Otherwise, if a father died of a stroke at the hands of a prostitute, how many people would laugh at Da Lang and his family!

"My wife, don't be angry. Now that everyone has left, let's just leave it at that."

"My wife's best days are yet to come."
