After Doctor Gu left, Madam Jin summoned the steward. "Why did Doctor Gu suddenly ask this? Do you know what happened?"
"It must be that the young lady misses her mother, and Doctor Gu can't bear to see her like this."
After saying this, Butler Cao was inwardly full of complaints.
The name of Doctor Gu was known to everyone in the court. Although he was a doctor and acted with composure, he had a strict personality.
None of the apprentices had ever given her a kind look, but she was so warm and welcoming to the young lady; it was simply unbelievable.
“I see,” Jin sighed, tapping her arm. “They have indeed been gone for a long time.”
With so many things piling up, I'm so exhausted every day that I can barely stand up straight.
"yes!"
Butler Cao sighed as well.
The newly built courtyard was empty in no time.
"Oh, right," Jin suddenly remembered something, "did my sister-in-law give her money to the Wang family this month?"
"It's already been sent."
As he spoke, Butler Cao hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.
"What's wrong?"
"The Wang family wanted to build a house for their eldest daughter-in-law, so I took the liberty of giving her extra money."
“That’s to be expected, but,” Jin said, puzzled, “the weather is getting colder and colder, why build a house at this time?”
"This old servant inquired and found out that the eldest young mistress and her brother's wife do not get along very well. In order to maintain peace in the household, the old couple thought of separating the people."
Upon hearing this, Mr. Jin was speechless.
She felt that her sister-in-law was hopelessly stupid.
She's already been sent back to her parents' home and they're still making a fuss over her? Does she even have a brain? Does she really think her brother will change his mind?
That's right, Wang has a mysterious self-confidence.
She couldn't believe that someone who had been so good to her would change so easily, just because of a few arguments.
Feeling superior to others in her maternal home because she was a member of the Huang family, she only became obedient after being reprimanded by her mother several times.
Then, she turned her gaze to her younger brother and sister-in-law who had just entered the room, and did nothing but stare at her stomach with a gloomy look.
She was so frightened that she had nightmares every day and couldn't stand it anymore, so she wanted to go back to her parents' home.
So the entire Wang family decided to force the people out, even if the Huang family didn't pay them, they would pay them to leave.
Steward Cao was well aware of their predicament. Without any hesitation, he took out some silver and simply instructed them to keep a close watch on the person and not let them come over.
“There’s always a reason why someone is pitiful. Let’s leave her be,” Jin said, getting up. “I’m going to check on Da Niu and the others. No one’s home. The younger ones must be panicking.”
After saying that, Ms. Jin left in a hurry.
After returning home, Doctor Gu stood in the courtyard for a while and then made a decision. "Yu Zhu, pack your things. A doctor should help the world and cannot stay here all the time."
Upon hearing this, Yuzhu immediately became interested. "Master, where are we going this time? How's the neighboring county? I heard the pomelos there are ripe for eating."
“This time we’re heading north,” Dr. Gu stroked his beard. “The weather is getting colder, and we’ll be seeing more patients in the north.”
“Grandmaster is right,” Yuzhu said with shame. “I’m sorry, I was always thinking about food.”
"It's alright, you're still young."
"Um."
Liu Yuzhu was puzzled, feeling that her master was unusually easy to talk to today.
However, it's always a good thing that I wasn't reprimanded.
Without much thought, the pure-hearted Yu Zhu immediately went to pack her things.
Seeing this, Doctor Gu curled the corners of his mouth and walked unhurriedly toward a certain room.
Jiang Nuan was unaware of what had happened at home. She had a good sleep and stretched comfortably as she got out of bed.
In the kitchen, Ms. Xie had already prepared breakfast.
She decided to try her hand at making something to see if she could change her mother-in-law's mind.
“Mother,” Xie said with a sweet smile, “I’ve cooked your favorite pork rib porridge in the pot, and I’ve also made some steamed buns, fried some pickled cabbage pancakes, and stir-fried some cabbage.”
"This is a feast!" Jiang Nuan hadn't had a proper meal in a long time. "Have you eaten yet? If not, let's eat together, mother and son."
"No," Xie said with a sickeningly sweet smile, "I'm just waiting for Mother to come along."
Where is the owner?
"They've finished eating and are visiting relatives."
"I overslept today!" Jiang Nuan said, somewhat annoyed.
She shouldn't have been so rude, getting up only after the host had left.
"It has nothing to do with Mother."
Xie felt guilty.
She woke them up in the middle of the night and gave them two taels of silver, indicating that the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law should visit relatives.
To get them to leave sooner, they were given two steamed buns.
"No, I admit that I made a mistake today."
Jiang Nuan looked up at the sky, puzzled.
Do people in Northwest China start things this early?
"Hurry up and eat," Xie said, not daring to say more. "It's better to eat it while it's hot, otherwise it will get cold."
The Xie family had a good plan.
Take advantage of the mealtime to act cute and pester your mother-in-law to get some information out of her; you might just be able to get her to agree.
The abacus was quite good, but just as he turned around, he heard a knock on the door, "Wife, open the door."
"Husband, what brings you here?"
As she spoke, she hurriedly ran to open the door, and looked up to see three big men. "Jiang Chao, General Yang, you're here too?"
“Let’s go inside and talk,” Jiang Chao said, looking displeased. “This isn’t the place to talk.”
"You're here," Jiang Nuan greeted them. "Have you eaten yet? Would you like to eat together?"
"I'm sorry to have troubled you."
Before Jiang Chao and Huang Shu could speak, Yang Qing interrupted and answered.
Seeing this, Xie snorted in dissatisfaction and reluctantly went to the kitchen to get bowls and chopsticks.
She spent two hours painstakingly preparing a meal, only to have an outsider interfere.
"General, please don't mind," Huang Lao Er explained with a simple smile, "My wife has always had a bad temper."
"understand!"
Yang Qing, who was already in the wrong, didn't dare to say anything.
Because of Yang Qing, the atmosphere changed instantly, and what should have been a nice breakfast turned into a strange experience.
After a short while, Jiang Nuan invited the person to the hall. "You don't come here without a reason. What brings you here today?"
“Lady Protector of the Nation,” Yang Qing composed himself, “I have come here today mainly to learn about Gandan’s situation and to ask you how to resolve today’s predicament.”
“Gandan’s situation is somewhat complicated,” Jiang Nuan did not hide anything. She had already sent the basic information to the capital last night. “Generally speaking, the alliance is still unstable, so we can wait and see for now.”
After saying that, he thought of something, "By the way, what's the situation in the Northwest lately?"
“It’s not good,” Yang Qing said with a bitter expression. “Gandang’s troops are attacking, and I can only organize men to defend. There are too few cavalry, and the soldiers cannot stay in the snow for too long. We dare not spread out too much.”
After speaking, Yang Qing looked at Jiang Nuan with a hesitant expression.
"Why is the General looking at Auntie?" Jiang Chao said unhappily. "The battle lines cannot be stretched out. Is it Auntie's fault?"
"That's not what I meant. I've only heard that many soldiers in your camp aren't afraid of the snow. Could you perhaps..."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Nuan interrupted him with a smile, "The medicine was developed by Doctor Gu, and the formula was sent to the capital a long time ago. It should be delivered here soon."
"I see," Yang Qing said somewhat embarrassedly. "I was being presumptuous today."
"It's alright."
