After Song Xizhi finished speaking, Su Shaoyuan showed a slightly puzzled expression.
She knew that what she said was sudden and strange, after all, she had only learned this medical skill after she got married in her previous life. The old man was omnipotent and knew that she was born with this talent, so she progressed very quickly.
When she was still unmarried, she didn't know any medicine, so it's no wonder her maternal grandfather hesitated.
Just as Song Xizhi was about to explain, he heard Su Shaoyuan speak again: "When are you going?"
Upon hearing his words, Song Xizhi was taken aback.
Surprisingly, my maternal grandfather didn't even have any doubts.
Seeing her expression, Su Shaoyuan smiled at her and patted Song Xizhi's shoulder with a firm touch.
“My dear Zhizhi, Grandma knows that whatever you do is for your uncle’s good.”
"When are you going? Grandma is waiting for you."
It was just a single sentence, yet it made Song Xizhi want to cry. She was determined to heal her uncle and prevent the tragedy of her past life from repeating itself.
"Tomorrow, I will go to see my uncle and also pay my respects to my maternal grandmother."
To her shame, she hasn't even bought a medicine kit yet, nor has she ordered any silver needles!
Later, she will directly use Song Ruoan's dowry money to customize several expensive sets of clothes to use in rotation.
To be a good person, you have to be generous!
As for the dowry left by her mother, Song Xizhi originally wanted her maternal grandfather to take it back. After all, although their ancestors had been wealthy, her maternal grandfather was short of money after her uncle fell ill and he retired from his official post. She knew this.
However, Su Shaoyuan refused to accept the dowry and insisted on leaving it to Song Xizhi. As a result, Song Xizhi had no choice but to take the dowry back to his own courtyard.
She's already received two dowries after just one wedding!
When Song Xizhi returned to the courtyard with his mother's dowry, he saw that Song Ruoan was already waiting at the door with a servant.
Only Qing Tong, San Qi, and Bai Shu were standing at the door. Song Xizhi had not yet returned, and they refused to let anyone else into the courtyard.
So He Yunze and Song Ruoan could only stand at the door, waiting anxiously.
Upon seeing Song Xizhi, He Yunze grabbed Song Ruoan's hand tightly and berated her, "Where's the dowry? Song Xizhi! Don't go back on your word! I know what kind of person you are!"
When the others saw Song Xizhi, it was as if they had seen a savior. They hurriedly let Song Xizhi bring her dowry into the courtyard.
Song Xizhi was very satisfied with their actions and nodded approvingly at the bronze.
Before she could speak, He Yunze felt he was being ignored, so he angrily shouted, "You already agreed, what do you mean now? If you don't pay me back, I'll tell Grandmother..."
Before he could finish speaking, Song Xizhi gave Qing Tong a look.
Qing Tong swiftly and decisively lifted Song Ruoan's dowry chest and roughly threw it in front of He Yunce.
With a loud "bang," followed by the agonizing screams of a pig being slaughtered.
The dowry chest hit He Yunze's foot, making him jump around in pain.
Song Xizhi then said with a hint of disdain, "Move out and return Song Ruoan's dowry to her."
Seeing that she had finally relented, Song Ruoan's eyes lit up. She looked anxiously into the courtyard and asked, "Song Xizhi, where are my maids? And the two nannies?"
Song Xizhi looked at her with suspicion: "The maids and nannies? I didn't keep them in check, so they must have rushed off to take care of you by now, right?"
Song Ruoan was taken aback when she heard this, but seeing the lock on the dowry chest, she didn't think much of it.
Their indentures are still in the box, and she carries the key with her. Where else could the maids and nannies have gone?
She's probably already at her Guanyunxuan!
So Song Ruoan watched impatiently as her dowry chest was loaded onto the cart, and she and He Yunce hurriedly followed it back to Guanyunxuan.
After Song Xizhi directed Qing Tong and the others to register the dowry and move it into the storeroom, he returned to his bedroom.
She leaned against He Jingyan's incredibly strong chest muscles, crossed her little feet, and happily drank hot milk.
This was a newly discovered gem of a place, warm and cozy, even more comfortable than a soft couch.
But Granny Wu walked in with a worried look on her face.
"Miss, the second young lady's dowry is full of scrap metal. If you return it like this, what will you do if they make a fuss?"
Song Xizhi shook his head calmly: "She's not stupid, she'll definitely make a scene."
Granny Wu's old face scrunched up like a dried plum, and she gestured with her chin toward the person behind Song Xizhi: "So, you're planning to use your son-in-law as a shield?"
Song Xizhi raised an eyebrow, handed the cup in his hand to Granny Wu, and took the opportunity to pat He Jingyan's abs: "I can't bear to use him as a shield."
"Granny, go and find the key to my dowry."
Granny Wu sighed, didn't ask any more questions, and went straight to the storeroom to get the key.
Once the key arrived, the message also came.
Granny Wu rushed in: "Miss, there's been a commotion at Guan Moxuan's place. The Second Young Master has invited the Old Madam, the Madam, and the Marquis over, and they're all waiting for your explanation!"
Song Xizhi smiled as she accepted the key to her dowry.
Then she turned her head and gently tapped He Jingyan's soft lips with her finger: "Go to sleep, my wife will go earn you some money!"
She instructed Sanqi and Baishu to guard the courtyard gate and not let anyone in. Then she took Granny Wu and Qing Tong with her to He Yunce's Guanyunxuan.
When she stepped into Guanyunxuan, she saw a mess in the courtyard.
Song Ruoan's dowry chests had all been opened, and they were all laid out crookedly, containing tattered bedding and food scraps.
Rats scurried freely through the cracks in the dowry chests, and a stench filled the courtyard.
At this moment, Song Ruoan was sobbing in He Yunce's arms, her lips turning white from crying.
Madam He, Madam Huang, and Marquis Anding all turned ashen-faced at the scene before them.
Upon seeing Song Xizhi, He Yunze angrily demanded, "Song Xizhi! Look what you've done!"
"I have never seen such a shameless person in the world. You promised to return Ruo'an's dowry, but you put a bunch of broken copper and scrap iron in it, and even put rats in it!"
"What are your intentions!"
Madam Huang shook her head, her face deathly pale: "This is absolutely outrageous! I've never seen such a lowly bride! What kind of person did Jingyan marry?"
Song Xizhi stared blankly at the dowry on the ground, her face full of astonishment: "What's going on? I didn't open my sister's dowry."
Song Ruoan's eyes were already red, and she was sobbing uncontrollably: "Sister, I knew you wouldn't give me back my dowry so easily! You've always been jealous of the dowry my maternal grandfather gave me, and now you're going to replace the things in the dowry!"
This time, Song Ruoan's tears were genuine.
She couldn't find the indenture, land deed, and silver notes in her dowry chest, and all her maids had disappeared!
Even if it means taking it to the authorities, she is determined to get an explanation from Song Xizhi!
