"You used that... that century-old ginseng to treat Qizhe?" Yu Fuling's face was full of gratitude and guilt. "Thank you... I'm sorry, I will never say that you are not worthy of me again."
When going down the mountain in the drizzle that day, Yu Jiao unexpectedly saw a century-old ginseng on the road. When Yu Fuling saw her digging out the old ginseng, she was envious and jealous. She had gone to Qingyan Mountain many times to dig herbs, but had never dug up ginseng. However, it was Yu Jiao's first time going up the mountain, and she was so lucky that she dug out a century-old ginseng.
She had been to the town's pharmacy to sell herbs and knew that a fifty-year-old ginseng could be sold for forty taels of silver in the town's pharmacy, not to mention an old mountain ginseng that was over a hundred years old, which would be a huge sum of money.
In the past few days after coming back, Yu Fuling saw that Yu Jiao never took out the ginseng, nor did she tell Grandpa Yu that she had picked a hundred-year-old ginseng in the mountain. Yu Fuling thought that she wanted to hide it secretly and sell it for money in the future. Considering that Yu Jiao wanted to help Yu Qizhe recuperate, Yu Fuling deliberately kept it a secret for her and did not mention the matter of the hundred-year-old ginseng.
Neither of them said anything, and neither Yu Qiaoshan nor his son Yu Zhixing were no meddlesome people, so no one mentioned it at all.
Now seeing that Yu Jiao actually added the century-old ginseng to Yu Qizhe's medicine, Yu Fuling felt deeply ashamed of her previous thoughts.
Yu Jiao smiled and said, "It's okay." She didn't care about what Yu Fuling said before. In her eyes, Yu Qizhe was just an insignificant person. She was not Meng Yujiao and would not be a bride for good fortune. She would leave the Yu family sooner or later.
When the medicine soup was almost ready, there was a noisy commotion outside the Yu family's courtyard. Someone in the village shouted outside the courtyard, "Doctor Yu, your family has a distinguished guest! Why don't you come out to greet him!"
It was very lively outside. Yu Fuling stretched her head and looked outside through the small window. However, Yu Jiao had no curiosity at all and just focused on the medicine pot on the stove.
When the people from the second branch of the Yu family heard the noise, they couldn't wait to open the door. When they saw the carriage outside the courtyard gate, Yu Hanshan recognized that they were from the Mu family. He was overjoyed and warmly invited them in. At the same time, he winked at Zhao, asking her to inform Old Man Yu.
A middle-aged man in a blue gown got out of the carriage first, and soon after, Mu Yan also got out of the carriage. Unlike his nonchalant attitude when he came to Yu's house last time, Mu Yan got out of the carriage outside the Yu's yard this time.
Yu Hanshan came forward, and Mu Heng smiled and nodded slightly at him.
"Mr. Mu, please come in." Seeing Mu Heng's friendly face, Yu Hanshan knew that Meng Yujiao's prescription must have worked. This man was not here to cause trouble, but must have come to pay the medical fee.
Mu Heng glanced at his servant, and the servant hurriedly asked the two servants who followed him to move the things out of the carriage.
Two rolls of cotton cloth, a roll of brocade, and a wooden box whose contents could not be seen.
Yu Hanshan stared at the things in the hands of the Mu family servant, his eyes shining, and his smile became more flattering. He walked to Mu Heng, took over the position of Mu family servant, stepped forward, bowed, and helped Mu Heng walk into the yard.
Mu Heng glanced at Yu Hanshan, but did not brush away his hand. The middle-aged man in a blue gown standing beside him followed Mu Heng and entered the Yu family's courtyard.
The people of Qingyu Village who were watching outside the gate stretched their heads to look into the Yu family's yard, and whispered to each other how lucky the Yu family was to have such a wealthy family come to give them gifts.
Yu Ruhai had already received the letter and came to the yard, unable to hide the smile on his face.
"Doctor Yu." Compared to the last time when he was moody, Mu Heng was actually kind and polite this time.
"Mr. Mu, please come in." Yu Ruhai smiled and welcomed him into the main room.
After they sat down, Mu Heng introduced the middle-aged man in a blue gown next to him, "This is Doctor Jiang from Huichuntang in town."
