"Oh, who was that poor relative of mine back then? Upon closer inspection, isn't this the First Madam's sister?"

It was Xiao Cui who spoke first. Now, taking advantage of her pregnancy, she spends all her time making sarcastic remarks about the concubines in the mansion.

It's not that they're barren hens, but rather that their wombs are unproductive; they haven't been able to conceive a child for the Liu family all these years.

The other concubines dared not speak out, after all, the First Madam had already placed them in solitary confinement.

They didn't want to be locked up forever, only to be released after Xiao Cui gave birth; that would be unbearable.

The old lady looked at Daya with a smile and said, "Girl, you're about the same age. This child doesn't know how to speak, so please don't take it to heart! Come and sit here first."

Daya smiled and bowed to the old lady before saying, "Old lady, what are you saying? I don't care about these servants' loose tongues, but if others find out, wouldn't they think that the Liu family doesn't discipline its servants properly?"

"After all, you haven't even spoken yet, and this little maid is already speaking to me, a guest, in such an arrogant manner."

Xiao Cui stood there, her neck stiff, about to step forward and point at Daya to scold her, when she saw the old lady's sinister gaze sweep over her.

"Leaving that aside, I wonder if you've come to see me because of your sister's matter and want an explanation?"

Daya shook her head: "It's only right that my sister was confined to the Liu residence for two days after making a mistake. I only came here because I heard that my sister and brother-in-law are not getting along. This is really not right!"

It was Young Master Liu who personally went to the Princess's residence to propose marriage, and that's how my younger sister got married.

The princess mentioned just a couple of days ago that she missed her younger sister and suggested that her sister visit the princess's residence more often when she has time.

The old lady's face changed when she heard this. She never expected that the young princess would still care about this wretched girl.

Regardless of whether what the woman in front of her said was true, it's only natural that the young princess, who came from the princess's mansion, would be interested in these two.

After the young master of the Liu family returned with his proposal, he had been neglecting her. It would be bad if this got back to the little princess.

"Oh my, what are you talking about? Didn't that girl scratch the concubine's face?"

I only punished her by making her stay in the yard for two days, and I had her released shortly, and here you are."

Daya nodded upon hearing this, exchanged a few more pleasantries with the old lady, and then left.

When the old lady saw that Da Ya had left, she quickly ordered the maids around her to bring back all the people who were watching her.

Hearing this, Xiao Cui stamped her foot: "Madam, you're letting her out now? Look at my face, boohoo..."

I'm really afraid she'll just slit my throat with a knife next time!

I don't care if I get hurt, but I don't care about the baby in my belly.

The old lady glanced at Xiao Cui's belly and said, "Alright, if you don't have to, try to stay away from her and stay in your own yard. Don't make a scene here!"

Although Xiao Cui was indignant, she had no choice but to leave since the old lady had said so.

The maidservant in front of the old lady asked, "She's just a maidservant, but I don't think what she said is the truth."

The old lady looked at her head maid, Fengyu, and said, "Whether what she said is true or false, we cannot let this matter develop in a bad way."

That girl was right about one thing. No matter what, she came from the Princess's mansion. Even if she was just a maid, she had been a maid for many years. People will always develop feelings for each other after spending so much time together.

It was Yu'er who personally went to the manor to propose marriage. If they continue to neglect him like this, and the young princess finds out and blames them, the Liu family will be in trouble.

Feng Yu nodded, understanding the old lady's concerns.

He nodded and went down to lift the confinement order on the lady.

Er Ya soon learned that she would no longer be locked up, which she guessed was probably because her sister had said something to the old lady.

However, because I have something on my mind, I have rarely gone out these past few days.

Er Ya is in an extremely good mood right now, and she just wants to see how they will perform in the next act!

After several days of diligent alchemy, Su Muyao has prepared all kinds of pills, and today is the opening day of the Pill Pavilion.

At first, the whole capital knew that the young princess was going to open a new shop, but no one knew what she would sell. They thought it would be like a general store, selling all sorts of rare and exotic items.

On the opening day, after Su Muyao set off firecrackers at the door, the red cloth at the door was completely torn down, revealing the words "Dan Yao Ge" (Elixir Pavilion) in red characters on a black background on the door plaque.

The area was surrounded by people.

"What are these three characters?" asked an older woman to the young man beside her.

The young man, dressed like a scholar, smiled and replied, "It says 'Dan Yao Ge' (Elixir Pavilion)."

Before the old lady could ask what it meant, an old man next to her spoke up first: "What does this Pill Pavilion mean? It sells pills."

The young man who had initially been trying to answer the woman's questions also shook his head; he wasn't quite sure either whether they were selling pills or not.

Seeing everyone discussing this, Su Muyao quickly answered their questions.

The waiter next to her took Su Muyao's megaphone and began to promote various elixirs.

When the onlookers heard the man say something about a healing pill that could bring the dead back to life, they were amazed.

Immediately afterwards, a man who had been bitten by a wild boar was carried to the shop entrance. The medicine was given to the man, and his wounds visibly closed.

A man in the crowd shouted, "I know this man! He's a hunter from the next village who makes a living by hunting all year round."

I never expected to be bitten by a wild boar today! My goodness, this is practically a miracle cure!

Those around him snapped out of their daze after hearing this.

Especially the stewards of wealthy families, who came to find out what the young princess was selling at her opening. If it was a good item, they would definitely rush to buy it!

Seeing that it was such a treasure, and realizing that the silver notes he carried were definitely not enough, he saw some people in the crowd quickly leave.

Those who left were all going back to their master's house to report the situation, and then coming back to buy elixirs.

Then I tried several other kinds of pills: beauty pills, bone-healing pills, hair-growth pills, slimming pills, detoxification pills...

Many of the participants in these trials were patients invited from the medical clinic.

Most of the patients were ordinary people, and when they heard that the treatment was free and that it was run by a young princess, they all desperately wanted to come.

In the end, Xia only brought over a few seriously ill patients.

The manager of Huichuntang in the crowd looked at the pills with shining eyes.

He believed that the hunter was beyond saving, with many deep wounds all over his body that exposed bone—the kind of wounds that even a celestial being couldn't heal.

Hearing that medicine needed to be tested, the young princess's personal maid came. Originally, she thought it would be best to get rid of this hot potato.

But thinking of the little princess's abilities, he still wanted to come and see what was going on, and unexpectedly witnessed this amazing scene.

Several elderly women in the crowd even knelt down and shouted "Gods!"

These people don't believe in any elixirs or pills; they're convinced this must be a deity descending to save them from their suffering.
