The old Ans were talking excitedly, and it took Gu Xi a while to figure out what was going on.

It turned out that after Yu Tang fainted, the Pei family hired a medical doctor who was good at moxibustion to perform moxibustion on Yu Tang. It turned out that this medical doctor not only knew how to perform moxibustion, but also massage. She recommended the massage technique to Yu Tang. After the second wife found out, she recommended it to several old An people.

Gu Xi couldn't help but frown. When the two young ladies of the Song family arrived, she pretended to casually talk to them about this matter, and said with a smile: "I have only had acupuncture before, but never massage. After hearing Mrs. Pei say it was so interesting, I want to try it. Do you want to join me?"

As expected, Miss Song Liu jumped up when she heard it and said, "People from poor families have no rules. Those old doctors go from village to village and like to gossip about other people. Everyone wants to avoid such people. But she recommended her to the second wife and even introduced her to the old An ladies. If something goes wrong, can she afford it? No, I have to talk to the old An ladies. We can't let her do whatever she wants and disrupt the Pei family's tradition."

Miss Song Qi grabbed Miss Song Liu, looked at Gu Xi and said to Miss Song Liu: "The old Ans have eaten more salt than we have walked. What kind of person is that old doctor? Whether to call her to the mansion or not is up to you. You are a young girl who has never been married, what do you know? Besides, this is the Pei family's business. How can we, the Song family, interfere with the Pei family's family tradition? I think you should wait and see how the old Ans handle things before making any decisions."

Miss Song Liu refused to listen, so Miss Song Qi became cruel and dragged her to Mrs. Song Si regardless of anything and handed her over to her.

Mrs. Song Si was so angry that she trembled when she learned the whole story. She ordered the maids around her to keep her under house arrest.

Gu Xi did not expect Fourth Madam Song to be so decisive. She was stunned for a while, and whispered about this matter to Miss Wu, and said with emotion: "I don't know who in the Pei Mansion hired the doctor for Miss Yu? She and the people of the Pei family are really connected. Even so, everyone is still wholeheartedly protecting her!"

Miss Wu knew that Gu Xi wanted to use her to find out who was taking care of Yu Tang, but she still couldn't help but check.

The Pei family did not hide this matter, and the truth was revealed once we investigated.

Miss Wu was almost gritting her teeth, thinking that if she wanted to marry Pei Yan, Yu Tang would be a hidden danger. Apart from anything else, they were both beautiful, but she looked a bit cold and arrogant even when she wasn't smiling, while Yu Tang was particularly charming when she smiled. One was like a peony, the other like a peony.

She decided to tell this matter to Master Wu and ask him for advice.

Gu Xi knew that Pei Yan had hired the doctor for Yu Tang, and she felt very upset. She felt even more unhappy when she found out that her visit to Miss Xu at noon failed because Miss Xu went to Yu Tang, tried the doctor's massage skills, and recommended her to Madam Yang San.

Why does Yu Tang always go against her?

Can't the two of them coexist peacefully?

Gu Xi carefully recalled everything she had done since she met Yu Tang, and felt that she had not done anything wrong to Yu Tang. Instead, it was Yu Tang who always ruined her good things unintentionally. Of course, based on her life experience, she never believed that someone would "unintentionally" ruin her good things.

For a moment, she even developed an irreconcilable hatred towards Yu Tang.

She had to listen to the incompetent master's lecture quietly in the Dharma Hall for the whole afternoon, but in her heart she was thinking about how to make Yu Tang lose face in front of the Pei family. At least she had to let the Pei family know that Yu Tang was not a good person either!

Yu Tang had a very happy afternoon.

Miss Xu was held back by Mrs. Shi and stayed quiet for two hours. She actually finished copying the scriptures for Pei Yan.

Looking at the neatly arranged calligraphy, she was very satisfied and became more patient with Miss Xu than ever before. She asked her, "What do you want to do tomorrow? I have nothing to do after I meet the Master tomorrow!"

She didn't know how many days Pei Yan would be away, and she wanted to complete the ritual before Pei Yan came back.

In this way, as long as Pei Yan didn't ask specifically, he wouldn't know what she did.

Miss Xu feels a little guilty.

Pei Yan just took care of the sick Yu Tang, and Yu Tang was very grateful and copied scriptures for Pei Yan, asking the Bodhisattva to bless Pei Yan with happiness and longevity. Before she left Beijing, Yin Mingyuan secretly gave her 5,000 taels of silver, but she was so heartless that she just took it and left.

Think about it, although the Yin family is rich, they are also very strict. Five thousand taels of silver is Yin Mingyuan's pocket money for five years.

She wiped her sweat secretly and said, "Tomorrow morning I will go with you to see the head teacher. I have to finish copying the scriptures for Yin Mingyuan tonight no matter what."

Yu Tang didn't believe it and smiled.

The two of them had dinner together again and went to pay their respects to Mr. Pei.

Old Man Pei took the two of them to talk about Mrs. Shi's massage, leaving aside the topic for the moment. In the next few days, Yu Tang and Miss Xu were inseparable. They went to see the master together and performed a small ritual together. Even when Yu Wen found an opportunity to visit Yu Tang, Miss Xu did not avoid him. She gave Yu Wen a big gift according to the etiquette of the family. Yu Wen was so happy that he said to Chen privately, "See? This is what a lady from a noble family looks like. You should let Atang learn more from Miss Xu." She also reminded Chen, "If someone respects me one foot, I will respect them ten feet. You must treat Miss Xu as your own niece. If there is anything delicious or fun, give her a portion if there is one for Atang. Although she doesn't want it, we must do our best to show our love."

Chen didn't know whether to laugh or cry after hearing this, and pushed Yu Wen out the door: "Do you think you are too shameless? Miss Xu is only doing this for Atang's sake!"

Yu Wen walked away with a chuckle.

Gu Xi wanted to find trouble with Yu Tang, but unfortunately Yu Tang did not participate in the activities at the Dharma Hall, so even though Gu Xi came up with several ideas, he never had the chance to implement them.

After four or five days, the Qu brothers came back, and asked Ah Tiao to bring a letter with him.

Yu Tang didn't want to stare at people, so he found an excuse and went back to his room.

Miss Xu hurried to Mrs. Yang San with the letter.

Mrs. Yang San's expression became increasingly stern as she read the letter.

Miss Xu, who was sitting opposite, was looking at Mrs. Yang San eagerly. Seeing this, she hurriedly asked what was written in the letter.

Madam Yang San said, "Your second brother Yin told us not to make wild guesses. Since we are at the Pei family, we should just live with the women of the Pei family openly. As for our worries, he knows everything. The Yin family and the Pei family are also old friends. Some things can no longer be separated. It is a situation where everyone prospers together and suffers together." After saying that, she sighed, "Your second brother Yin said that he will find a way to go to Hangzhou City in a few days, and asked us to go to Hangzhou City to meet him. He has a letter for us to take back to the capital."

Miss Xu was puzzled and asked, "When did our family become a family of one who prospers together and suffers together with the Pei family? Why have I never heard the elders in my family talk about this?"

That's because you hadn't decided whether to marry into the Yin family at that time.

But Mrs. Yang San couldn't say this, so she could only comfort her, "I didn't know before! The Pei family and the Yin family didn't send New Year gifts during the New Year."

She did not lie to Miss Xu.

She was not very clear about the relationship between the Pei family and the Yin family.

I guess this is a matter between the clan leaders.

The patriarch of the Yin family this generation is Yin Hao, the second brother of the Yin family mentioned by Miss Xu.

Miss Xu's attention was diverted. She was curious about the relationship between the Pei and Yin families and was looking forward to meeting Yin Hao. When she saw Yu Tang, she couldn't help but urge Yu Tang to go to Hangzhou with her: "Then the second brother Yin will also go there quietly. Don't you want to know what Pei Xiaguang is up to?"

Yu Tang felt that this was the Pei family's privacy and she should take the initiative to avoid it.

Miss Xu started to act like a scoundrel, pulling at her sleeve and not letting go: "Let's go! Let's go! Hangzhou is such a fun place! I haven't been there yet! Maybe this is the only chance I'll have in my lifetime to go to Hangzhou, and you can only see me when you go to Beijing in the future. We had such a great time, isn't it a pity if there's nothing worth remembering and lingering about?"

Yu Tang was a little tempted, but she didn't want to trouble the Pei family anymore, and she had to discuss this matter with Chen and Yu Wen.

"Let me think about it carefully." Yu Tang delayed, "If I can go, I will definitely go with you."

Her mother can also go along for the trip.

More haste, less speed. Miss Xu did not force her to make a decision immediately, and told her about the Qu brothers: "The two people you recommended are quite reliable. But do you know them?"

Yu Tang didn't know what happened.

Miss Xu told her: "They both want to go to the capital with me, and asked the Yin family if they need anyone. They are willing to sell themselves as servants."

Yu Tang was very surprised.

In the previous life, the Qu brothers were unruly and many gangs that were more powerful than them could not subdue them. However, things are different now. Both the Yin family and the Xu family are well-known wealthy families in the current dynasty, more famous than the Pei family. It is definitely better to be able to rely on such a family as a servant than to fight alone.

She said, "I don't know the details. If you want to find out, you'll have to look into their background carefully yourself."

When the environment changes, people will change as well. She doesn't dare to guarantee anything now, even the people and things that she was very familiar with and understood in her previous life.

Miss Xu said, "We don't need it. But the Yin family doesn't have many people. I'll ask Second Brother Yin first."

Yin Hao was able to be the prefect of Huai'an, who had both the Office of the Governor of the Canal and the Office of the Lianghuai Salt Transport Commissioner under his jurisdiction. He was no ordinary person. It would definitely be more secure to have him help make decisions.

Yu Tang nodded repeatedly.

Pei Yan, who was about to go to Hangzhou City, looked at the note that was sent by flying pigeon from the capital with an unclear expression.

Peng Yu stayed quietly in the Censorate, but because of a note he left, the Zhang family accidentally discovered Sun Gao's little trick when they went to check on Peng Yu.

They had always thought that Gao You's case was just to cover up the case of the third prince. Unexpectedly, Sun Gao was really planning to use Gao You's case to create an earthquake in the officialdom and bring down Lord Shen, the Prime Minister of the dynasty.
