The young doctor squinted; the young lady of the crown prince was trying to absolve herself of all responsibility.
Her medicine only has some effects of tonifying the middle energizer and calming the mind; it's hardly effective for treating headaches.
Now, she has shifted all the blame onto her mother-in-law.
The Crown Prince's wife is also quite shrewd.
Jiang Chuwei glanced at the young doctor, who chuckled in response.
He was also incapable of treating the old lady's illness; the two were equally incompetent.
Of course, he wouldn't expose the Crown Prince's wife.
"Grandmother! You can only take this one pill today. Take another one tomorrow, and it will be more effective than today," Jiang Chuwei said with concern.
Why did the old lady find it hard to believe?
But there was nothing we could do.
These days, she has sent people to find several doctors, but none of them can do anything about her illness.
She shamelessly went to the palace to invite Doctor Zheng, also to let her rest.
What he said was exactly the same as what Jiang Chuwei said.
Although Physician Zheng was not as famous as Physician Zhou, his medical skills were certainly not inferior to those of a physician who could become a royal physician.
After consulting with so many doctors, the old lady still trusted Jiang Chuwei's pills more.
After all, her headache hadn't recurred for a year since she took her pills.
"Okay! Grandma believes you. You continue making the pills. We should always keep pills on hand at home."
The old lady spoke in a very gentle tone.
"Grandmother! All the money Mother gave us has been used up." Jiang Chuwei looked troubled.
The old lady choked for a moment.
Why is this granddaughter-in-law so petty these days?
Upon hearing about the money, Chen Yulan immediately made her escape.
Before she could even take a step, the old lady called out to her, "Chen, go and get another five hundred taels of silver, and have Wei'er make ten more pills."
The young doctor's mouth was agape.
What kind of exorbitantly priced pills are these? Isn't this robbery?
The Crown Prince's wife is taking advantage of everyone in this room who doesn't know anything about medicinal herbs!
Even with the best medicinal materials, this one pill would cost at most five taels of silver to make.
Ten grains for fifty taels is enough; the Crown Prince's wife really knows how to make money!
“Mother! Is five hundred taels a small amount? How could your daughter-in-law possibly contribute so much?” Chen Yulan exclaimed in surprise.
"Don't think I don't know how much you've hidden before. Go and get it now." The old lady looked displeased.
"Madam, the Marquis's mansion is out of money. You can't always leave me to pay for this money alone."
Chen Yulan was really anxious.
If this continues, all her savings will be gone.
"If you don't give it to me, I'll have the Marquis divorce you." The old lady issued her final ultimatum.
Now that she dares not offend Jiang Chuwei, she can only target Chen Yulan.
Divorce is not a terrible thing for Jiang Chuwei.
But for Chen Yulan, it was a terrifying thing.
If Chen Yulan is divorced, her family will not tolerate her.
She could only end her life in a temple.
Of course, Madam Lu knew what Chen Yulan was afraid of.
Only this one can control her.
Sure enough, Chen Yulan stopped complaining about being poor and turned to get the silver notes.
The young doctor had had enough of the show: "Who's going to pay the consultation fee? I'm going home now."
Everyone remained silent, and the person in charge of the household went to get the money.
Jiang Chuwei said, "Grandmother! I'll pay the consultation fee. I'll take my leave now. As for Mother's five hundred taels of silver, just have her send someone to Ya Fang Courtyard."
The old lady breathed a sigh of relief.
It's fine as long as Vera is willing to handle it.
It seems she still cares about this grandmother.
“Go ahead, Grandmother knows you’re a good person.”
"Doctor, please come with me!"
Jiang Chuwei curtsied to the elders.
Everyone had their own thoughts; they all felt that something was wrong with the Crown Prince's wife, but they couldn't quite put their finger on it.
Jiang Chuwei is leading the entire rhythm of today's events.
Chen Yulan suffered a great loss.
The Crown Prince's wife failed to cure the old lady's illness, and instead the old lady scolded Chen Yulan.
Second Madam Mo whispered, "I didn't expect the Crown Prince's wife to be so formidable."
Song disagreed: "I wonder what will happen in the future?"
Over the past three years, she has come to realize that Jiang Chuwei is a complete idiot.

Second gate
The young doctor took the heavy purse, weighed it in his hand, and immediately beamed with joy: "Thank you, Madam!"
Jiang Chuwei: "You're smart, you know what you should say and what you shouldn't say, right?"
"I am too ignorant to know what rare medicinal ingredients the Crown Prince's wife's miraculous medicine is made of!" the young doctor said sincerely.
The young doctor loves gossip, but he knows perfectly well what he can and cannot say.
Although the Crown Prince's wife was young, her mother-in-law was no match for her at all.
Besides, she is the legitimate daughter of the General's Mansion, so the young doctor dares not offend her.
Jiang Chuwei kindly reminded, "If you can say something, you should still say it, so that everyone can have some fun too, right?"
"Yes, yes, the Crown Prince's wife is right."
"Go back now! If the old lady needs anything, I will send someone to call you again."
"Yes, I am very grateful."
The young doctor looked devout.
He also plans to stop accepting orders from the Marquis's residence.
However, since she was the Crown Prince's wife, he touched the bulging purse. How could he possibly turn down money?
"Miss! Granny Li from Jinfutang has brought the silver notes," Donghua reported.
The young doctor looked at the Crown Prince's wife with an admiring gaze.
"Doctor, please take care!"
"Yes, sir. I'll take my leave."
The young doctor left with a satisfied expression.
After handing the money to the young master's wife, Granny Li immediately caught up with the young doctor.
"You must keep your mouth shut about what happened today, understand?" Granny Li said in a condescending manner.
"I don't know!" The young doctor slung his medicine box over his shoulder and ran off in a flash.
What a piece of trash! How dare a lackey boss him around?
Granny Li stomped her foot in anger, but there was nothing she could do.
The lady asked her to scare the young doctor, but she was reluctant to spend the money.
Now it seems that it has backfired.
These doctors are very strict about patients' medical conditions, but when it comes to family matters, they're more selective.
Xia Qi found it unbelievable that the Lady Hou had sent another five hundred taels of silver.
Last time, they only spent a little over forty taels of silver on ten pills.
"Miss, you're amazing!" Xia Qi exclaimed with admiration.
“This money wasn’t originally hers. Over the years, she’s squeezed far more money out of me than this. Let her bleed a little first, and I’ll slowly take my money back later.”
"Miss, the old lady's illness is not getting better. Will she take her anger out on you?" Qiu Shu thought more deeply.
Those pills were made by the young lady after they had washed the medicinal herbs.
In fact, they knew that the young lady hadn't put her heart into it this time.
"It's alright! I'll help her find a good excuse, and I won't take the blame for this."
"I was overthinking it."
"You're right. Think things through more carefully to see if you'll leave any loopholes. You can't rely on my brain alone. You all need to be more clever in the future."
"Yes, Miss! I'll help you come up with lots of good ideas in the future." Xia Qi was eager to try.
"You're helping Miss by not causing her any trouble," Chunqin said, pouring a bucket of cold water on the situation.
