Jing Ruchen was well prepared for Marquis Jing'en's excuse.
He directly invited the three most famous doctors from the capital, and asked the prince to invite a royal physician to come and take Ran's pulse in front of Marquis Jing'en.
Everyone said that Ran was in good health and well.
Jing Ruchen asked directly: "Will being a housekeeper tire mother?"
Several doctors and imperial physicians didn't know why this was asked.
But according to their diagnosis, they were all sure that it was not the case, but their curiosity was still aroused.
Ran took the opportunity to say, "Since my stewardship doesn't affect my health, then there's no need to trouble Aunt Sun to take over. However, in recent years, the court doctor has always said that I'm not in good health and can't manage the household. I don't know if the court doctor misread my pulse or if he's been instructed by someone."
She would no longer help to save face for the Yuan Marquisate in public. She wanted to tear off the fig leaf of the Jing'en Marquisate.
She had always thought about what she had learned since childhood, that she had to engrave the family's dignity into her bones and maintain it.
She has been trying to maintain her dignity all these years, but they have been hurting her even more severely. Now her son has a wife.
Why does she care about the reputation of the Marquis' Mansion? Anyway, it has no impact on her son's marriage.
Marquis Jing'en looked at Ran in surprise. There were outsiders present, but she spoke like this. She was not afraid at all that her words would make outsiders think too much.
He quickly followed Ran's meaning:
"Since Madam is now well, please continue to manage the household. I'm afraid the current court physician is not very skilled in medicine, so please find another one."
Then he sent these doctors away and gave them each a reward, hoping that they would keep their mouths shut.
However, the prince confiscated the medicine from the imperial physician sent by him, which made Marquis Jing'en feel uneasy. He hoped that the imperial physician would not go out and talk nonsense.
After getting permission from Marquis Jing'en, Ran immediately took people to Aunt Sun's yard and took away the housekeeper's cards and account books.
Then he called all the stewards and took back all the unreasonable treatment that Aunt Sun had received.
Several stewards were in a dilemma, fearing that the Marquis would pursue the matter, so they asked Ran to discuss with the Marquis before making a decision. Ran had the stewards beaten with a stick on the spot, and told the Marquis to come to her if he had any objections.
Aunt Sun was so angry that she smashed things in the yard and the servants knelt on the ground.
Her bird's nest, her clothes, and many details were all cut off. Not only did her quality of life decline, but most importantly, she lost all her face and dignity.
And last time, Ran punished Jing Jing'er by confining her to her home for three months, and she begged Marquis Jing'en to release her daughter. Now, Ran bluntly said that since Jing Jing'er felt that three months was too long, she would make her kneel in the ancestral hall for seven days.
I'm afraid my knees will be broken after seven days.
She went to see Marquis Jing'en crying, and Marquis Jing'en told her that the prince had reprimanded him for favoring his concubine over his wife.
At this juncture, he had no choice but to ask Aunt Sun to be patient for now. If that didn't work, he would ask her to ask Ran to change her mind.
Aunt Sun naturally did not want to go to Ran to be humiliated, so she forced Jing Jing'er to kneel for seven days.
Bad news came every day after that. Jing Shengwen's marriage was taken over by Ran family. Many details that she had painstakingly planned were overturned. She wanted to make trouble with Ran family, but was stopped by her son.
Jing Shengwen felt that a grand wedding was not important. Wearing a wedding dress embroidered with gold or silver thread was not as important as a real title. He told Aunt Sun not to lose the big picture for the small one.
Ran took Danruo with him and taught the housekeeper step by step, helping her handle various chores, manage servants, and keep accounts.
Unexpectedly, Danruo was very smart and even found loopholes in the account books when Aunt Sun was the housekeeper.
Ran knew that even if she had caught Aunt Sun, she couldn't send her to the manor with Marquis Jing'en around. This knife had to be used in the right place.
Ran was curious about how Danruo, a peasant girl, could know how to read. Danruo said that her fourth uncle had been taking the imperial examination for many years and often studied at home, so she had secretly learned some from him since she was a child.
When Dan Ruo followed Jing Ruchen to the capital, he also brought the original owner's younger brother Huang Tianquan. Jing Ruchen placed him in his own courtyard, first let his confidant enlighten him, and then sent him to school.
Ran originally knew Huang Tianquan, but didn't pay much attention to him. Now, she loves Huang Tianquan so much that she often asks him to come over to show her care.
Learning from Huang Tianquan about Danruo's life since childhood made me feel even more distressed.
Danruo was given a constant stream of supplements in various forms. In just ten days, Danruo's figure had changed significantly and he was no longer as thin as before.
When Jing Ruchen sent her to the new house to get married, the two of them walked alone in the garden. The breeze blew through the girl's dress, outlining her curves. Jing Ruchen turned his face away, but his face turned red from his ears to his neck.
He was already in his early twenties, back to normal, and about to get married, so he was always excited.
Although he rejected some friends' offers to take him to a brothel to give him the opportunity to practice, he did not refuse the wall fire painting given by a friend.
He clenched his fist and cleared his throat twice, clearing away all the remaining thoughts in his mind, and said softly:
"I've accumulated some personal property over the years, and I've put it in the warehouse. I'll give it to you as a dowry. If you have any ideas about the details of the wedding, you can tell me. As long as you like it, it's fine."
Dan Ruo took the initiative to hold his right hand, her deer-like eyes filled with sincere gratitude for his kindness.
After Jing Ruchen turned around and said goodbye, he put his right hand to his lips. It seemed as if there was still the warmth from Dan Ruo's hand, and he could faintly smell the remaining fragrance at the tip of his nose.
Ran was just measuring Jing Ruchen for his wedding dress. Seeing the corners of her son's lips curled up from time to time, she felt both sad and happy.
After the news of Ran's improved health spread, several ladies she had been friends with came to visit her.
Seeing that her brows were indeed relaxed and there was no trace of illness on her face, I curiously asked her which doctor cured her and what medicine she took.
Ran smiled and said, "My doctor is quite mysterious. I have to ask her. If she is willing, I will tell you."
The ladies also understood that capable doctors inevitably have quirks.
