"Madam, good medicine tastes bitter but is good for the disease. You must drink it while it's hot. If you find it bitter, I have prepared candied fruit for you."
The old lady smiled gently, "Do you really think of me as a child? I will drink it, you go and do your thing."
"Okay." Aunt Zhang left the room with a smile.
"Why does Mingzhu suddenly care about Aunt Zhang?"
"Aunt Zhang seems to have worked in the Ji family for many years. Her child is not young anymore, right?"
"Yes, she also came to the Ji family right after giving birth. Her child is almost in high school. Does Xiao Ci still remember this?"
Ji Ci nodded, "Her child is in his third year of high school this year, but his grades are not very good. Even if he is admitted to university, it will cost a lot of money to go to school every year."
"Although her husband's job is hard, the couple works hard and it is enough to support their children to go to college."
"This makes her even more suspicious. If her husband really had a car accident, she would really need a lot of money."
Ji Ci frowned slightly. Has Shen Mingzhu not yet dispelled her suspicion of Aunt Zhang?
However, he felt that he still had to investigate it. After all, it was related to Old Madam Ji, so he had to be cautious.
Shen Mingzhu felt it was necessary to remind her, "Aunt Zhang looks very stressed. Sometimes when you are stressed, you may make mistakes at work."
Old Madam Ji had no idea what they were thinking and picked up the bowl of medicine to drink.
"No! We still have to stop it. It would be bad if there is something wrong with this medicine!"
Shen Mingzhu was ready to grab the medicine bowl, but Ji Ci was faster than her.
"Grandma, I think this medicine is getting cold. I'll go get you some new ones."
"No? It's still warm." Old Madam Ji was a little confused, as she clearly felt it was just right.
Ji Ci took the medicine bowl away and said, "It will affect the efficacy if it gets cold. Please talk to Mingzhu first. I will be back soon."
Shen Mingzhu also tried hard to nod. Although it was Ji Ci who made the move, it could be considered as stopping it.
Ji Ci walked out of the room, his expression changed instantly, "Housekeeper, go check the ingredients of this medicine, and be careful not to let anyone know."
"Does the master suspect that someone tampered with the old lady's medicine?"
"Yes, it's always better to be more cautious."
"Okay." The butler left with the medicine.
Ji Ci took out his phone and contacted his assistant again, "Check Aunt Zhang's husband in the old house and send me the information."
Half an hour later, Ji Ci came in with new medicine.
This time he prepared the medicine himself according to the prescription without asking anyone else to do it for him.
As soon as he entered the door, he heard the laughter of the old lady and Shen Mingzhu.
Shen Mingzhu seemed to have no scruples at all. She sat on the ground and laughed so hard that she lost all her image.
Fortunately there was a carpet on the floor, otherwise her dress would have been dirty.
Although Old Madam Ji was also smiling, her demeanor was still dignified.
"Grandma, I boiled it again for you. The temperature is just right."
Old Madam Ji took the medicine and drank it all in one gulp. Shen Mingzhu was very considerate and handed over a fruit plate. The old lady picked a candied fruit and put it in her mouth.
"Grandma, it's time for her to rest. We won't disturb her." Ji Ci grabbed Shen Mingzhu and walked out.
"Hey, hey, Ji Ci is a bit of a traitor. He went out and asked me to appease Madam Ji. Now that he doesn't need me, he brings me out like trash!"
Shen Mingzhu stared at Ji Ci with wide eyes, her cheeks puffed up with anger.
Inexplicably cute.
This thought flashed through Ji Ci's mind, and he quickly shook his head to deny it. Was he crazy? He actually thought Shen Mingzhu was cute?
But he knew that if he didn't explain, Shen Mingzhu would curse him a hundred times in her heart.
"Grandma likes you. You can come to see her later, but you can't disturb her rest."
"In that case, can I go back now?"
Shen Mingzhu's goal has been achieved. If she continues to stay in the Ji family, it might give Ji Yuan an opportunity to frame her.
Anyway, she wasn't familiar with Ji Yuan, and with Chen Yuan around, no one would pay attention to her even if she went home.
"I'll ask the driver to take you there. Also, doesn't the Shen family buy you clothes? Clothes of this quality are not worthy of your status."
"There is no such thing as expensive or cheap clothes. Besides, all my clothes that can hold up a scene were snatched away by Chen Yuan. I am giving face to your Ji family by not wearing casual clothes today!"
Has her situation really come to this? No matter what the Shen family is like, they shouldn't even have enough clothes to keep her decent, right?
"Give me the phone."
"Um?"
"Take it out." Ji Ci's tone was unyielding.
"Give it if you want!"
"Why are you so fierce? Be careful that you won't be able to find a wife in the future!"
Is he fierce? Has Shen Mingzhu never seen what she looks like when she is really angry?
However, Ji Ci operated Shen Mingzhu's phone for a few times and returned it to her, then he took out his own phone.
Shen Mingzhu got her phone back, and soon she received a message from Ji Ci agreeing to her friend request.
"what?"
"Is there anyone who adds people as friends like you? You grab their phone and operate it. The male protagonist is so domineering!"
Before Shen Mingzhu finished her complaints, Ji Ci spoke again.
"Send me the bank account number."
Shen Mingzhu skillfully sent her bank card account number, and then her mobile phone received a text message.
Her eyes widened. "Oh my god, I must be dreaming. This is two million, not two hundred dollars!"
"Hehehe, the male lead is indeed the most handsome, even more handsome than Shen Zejing!!!"
"Don't wear such cheap skirts in the future. Others will think that the Ji family and the Shen family are abusing you."
Without waiting for her answer, Ji Ci went inside.
But it did not stop Shen Mingzhu from cheering in her heart.
