Seeing her like this, Qin Yuan knew that Madam Gu probably wouldn't believe what Doctor Li said.
The oblivious Physician Li added, "If Madam were a man, she could climb mountains and enjoy the view, go boating on the lake, but as a woman, she is inevitably somewhat restricted. However, the Marquis's mansion is large and has many scenic spots, so it's good to take a stroll around when you have nothing to do. Nowadays, people are more open-minded, and many women from ordinary families form associations to go out and play together. Some even go to Wudang Mountain to worship Buddha."
Granny Zhao clicked her tongue and said, "The Marquis's mansion is not a small household. How can we be so casual? We can only go out to stroll around the streets and walk around the courtyard. On holidays, we can go to temples and Taoist temples to play, enjoy the spring scenery and snow, but we have to communicate with the other masters in the mansion. It's not good to just go out and play by ourselves."
Once you go out, it's all a big fuss, with everyone busy settling in and out, so you lose all your enthusiasm.
The two were chatting animatedly, but Madam Gu remained silent, letting Doctor Li write down the prescription before saying calmly, "Thank you, Doctor Li."
Li Langfang had just discussed epidemic prevention methods with Qin Yuan and was greatly inspired. He then said, "I need to check on everyone else in the courtyard. Also, the clothes of those who have been in close contact with patients must be boiled in medicine. You must not be negligent. Don't let the young masters get better and then others get sick. If the illness drags on for too long, people's vitality will be greatly depleted and their bodies will be ruined."
Madam Gu said, "Since Doctor Li says so, then I'll trouble you."
Granny Zhao quickly gathered all the maids and servants in the courtyard and set up a table for Doctor Li in the courtyard so that I could see patients more easily.
Da Dong and Guo Yu stood aside to keep him company.
Xiao Dong was watching Doctor Li take his pulse and make a diagnosis when he felt no one tugging at his sleeve. He thought Da Dong had nothing to say, but when he turned around, he saw it was Granny Zhao.
Doctor Li took his leave with Da Dong. Granny Zhao sent a head maid to see us out of the courtyard, and then went to speak with Madam Gu, saying, "This servant who came with us is quite perceptive. He's not stupid; he knows whose child this is."
Li Langzhong complained, "That big dummy of his."
The two of them, working in tandem, gave each of them one of the concocted pills, claiming that swallowing them with water half an hour before meals would strengthen their constitution, detoxify, remove dampness, and prevent disease.
By the time Guo Yuzhen had a free moment, he had already met with the person.
Seeing that you were not moving, Zhao Mama was a little unhappy. She took advantage of her age and said, "If you have nothing to do with Eighth Madam, ask him. He is the worst person to know better than to say something mean."
Da Dong exclaimed in frustration, "Oh dear, you've got it wrong. Even if Master pretended to be in charge, he would have just told you. You even asked this young man to help you get the medicine. It would have taken him a long time to go back and forth. Let's hurry up and divide the pills so we can chase after me."
But you'll definitely believe that Li Langzhong's nonsense and put those things on your mind for self-cultivation.
Guo Yuzhen whispered, "He'll come with you for a bit."
Doctor Li said, "Yes."
Madam Gu said something.
Out of the corner of his eye, Li Langzhong glanced over and was still giving instructions to Guo Yuzhen. He told Guo to burn all the clothes that the two older sisters would use later and replace them with clean ones. He also asked about some other trivial matters.
Granny Zhao added, "If the masters don't improve, Madam, you must not take Doctor Li's words to heart. Don't let your health deteriorate. As the saying goes, 'Where there's life, there's hope.' Madam, please put aside your worries for now and focus on improving your health."
Da Dong slapped his forehead, as if he had suddenly remembered something, and said, "Master, did you... did you put the spoiled medicine outside the medicine box?"
Xiao Dong, filled with resentment, covered his face with his sleeve and used a teleportation technique to escape on the spot.
Madam Gu asked, "You've found out everything?"
Granny Zhao shook her head and said, "There's no time to lose. Look at how I beat you eight times and you didn't even get a fart out. You don't talk to me when I call you over, and you ask me everything. I'll ask around when no one else is delivering medicine."
Da Dong said, "Young man, go and get the medicine your master made. It's outside the house, and another young man is guarding it. Your master made some bad medicine yesterday; taking it can prevent the spread of disease."
Madam Gu, too lazy to waste her energy on a servant, said, "Perhaps."
Guo Yuzhen finally spoke up.
Madam Gu said, "That's all we can do. This servant doesn't look familiar, but I think I've seen him somewhere before."
Everyone accepted it.
Zhao Mama dared to advise again, because Madam Gu was inherently suspicious and had previously tripped up Xiao Dong, so it was inevitable that she would think less of it.
You were being mean, but then you changed the subject, saying, "According to what Doctor Li said, nowadays women can also go on long trips to enjoy the scenery. In the future, this will be something only women can do. Recently, Madam has been going out more often."
Xiao Dong: "..."
Madam Gu said, "Let's take a look."
Xiao Dong breathed a sigh of relief, but staying there was also a solution.
Zhao Mama said, "This old servant thinks that Doctor Li really doesn't have any skill in bed. Aunt Huang said that Qin'er's complexion looks much worse than before. Let's wait until the medicine is ruined and then take another look."
Granny Zhao said, "He looks about 80% like the person. He might be the one who will serve the Marquis in the future, so he might recognize me from somewhere. I don't recognize my appearance at all."
Xiao Dong nodded.
Zhao Mama hadn't considered that possibility, and upon hearing this, she was stunned and exclaimed, "This...this eldest sister is taking my medicine?"
Madam Gu said, "Does it mean that you two, husband and wife, would have to go boating on the lake, composing poems, and chasing after prostitutes to be considered bad?"
Madam Gu said, "In matters of life and death, I made a boastful promise, so I suppose I wouldn't dare to make a mistake. However, you..."
Madam Gu said leisurely, "Let's see what Doctor Li is capable of. What I'm saying is definitely a scheme by you, my wicked sister-in-law, to destroy my heart. Has he heard that we have no relationship? Of course, why would the Marquis give a famous medical clinic a thousand taels of silver?"
Granny Zhao had that idea in mind and was looking for an opportunity to ask you about things outside the mansion.
Granny Zhao left with a pale face. After she left, she glared at Xiao Dong fiercely and muttered something under her breath. Although it was mumbled, it was easy to guess that she was cursing him.
Judging from her tone, Granny Zhao thought to herself that the Eighth Madam seemed to harbor resentment towards the Eighth Master.
Guo Yuzhen stammered, "Madam has indeed lost a lot of weight, and what I said is also very accurate. Why don't you try my medicine first? As for the rest, you can listen to me. Once you're back in your residence, we'll invite the imperial physician to come and take a look."
Da Dong, who was standing nearby, spoke up: "Granny, it seems your master doesn't have anything urgent to ask you for."
Xiao Dong: "?"
Madam Gu laughed and said, "No wonder Eighth Master has so few children and is still disliked. It turns out I've been narrowing my mind every day."
Seeing that the servant knew what was good for him, Granny Zhao was about to lose her temper.
