"You're not wrong? You're so stupid that you can even say that. You knew they were having an affair a few years ago. If you had told me earlier, I wouldn't still be with Tang Dazhang."
"Sister, you and I are both women. We both have selfish sides and things we want. Let me ask you, if you were me, would you be willing to tell me? Even if I told you at that time, you definitely wouldn't believe me. Wouldn't that be asking for trouble?"
Zhang Huaying was about to take action, but was stopped by Shen Jiaojiao.
"Sister Ying, it's useless to bother her now. Let's ask about the medical book."
"That's all I know about medical books. If you want to know anything else, I really don't know," said Yang Susu.
Shen Jiaojiao asked, "You just said that you found out after hearing Tang Dazhang and Chen Xiaoxia say it, right?"
"yes."
"You're lying. Doesn't this contradict your previous story? Even Yingjie, Tang Dazhang's legal wife, didn't know about it. At the time, Chen Xiaoxia was also suspecting that Tang Dazhang's feelings for her weren't as strong as his family. Why did he tell her about the heirloom?"
"this……"
"So you didn't hear him say that at all," Shen Jiaojiao said in one breath, "Just tell me the truth, who else around you knows about the existence of this book?"
Yang Susu didn't expect that Shen Jiaojiao was so capable. She said so much. If it were a normal person, they might have gotten away with it. But she was so clear and organized, as if she was not involved in it at all.
Shen Jiaojiao said: "If you don't tell me now, we will send you there. They will still find ways to get you out. And I believe you have been in there once and know the treatment in there. It won't be as simple as being tied up like this."
"I... well, actually, my brother-in-law told me that I was a child my sister picked up. She was an orphan like me, and they probably felt so sorry for me that they treated me like their own. They were so kind to me, and I was very grateful. Later, they had a child, and they were even happier. But the good times didn't last long. My sister became ill from giving birth to that child, and she died not long after."
"Later, when my nephew was a few years old, he suddenly fell ill. His illness was very serious. He was completely paralyzed and couldn't move on his own. My brother-in-law treated him like his lifeblood and tried every possible way to get him medical treatment every day."
"Under his influence, I also started reading various medical books and learning medical skills, but there was still no way. My nephew's illness became more and more serious. Seeing my brother-in-law getting older day by day, I felt sad. We started looking for other solutions outside. Later, I heard that Tang Dazhang's family had an ancestral medical book that recorded the medical skills of the original palace."
"I also considered some way to get close to Tang Dazhang, but I never found a way. Later, I learned that he was looking for a nanny and a doctor, so I successfully got close to him."
Yang Susu told them that she had also gone to Tang Dazhang's family at the beginning, hoping to borrow money from them, but they all said they knew nothing about it and drove her out like a lunatic. She had no choice but to become their nanny.
"After we got to know each other, I mentioned it again to Tang Dazhang, but he still acted as if he didn't know anything. I saw how miserable the child was, and now he can't even take care of himself. What would happen to the child if my brother-in-law passed away? He's the only child in the family. I couldn't let my sister and brother-in-law down, so I came here to steal books."
When Shen Jiaojiao heard what she said, her expression became a little heavy.
"I know you hate me and blame me now, but I can do as you say and continue to go to jail. It won't be a problem if I go in, but what about that child? He doesn't have much time left. If possible, I hope you can still help."
No one would have thought that the book used as a table mat in their home would actually be a medical book, and no one expected that so many things would happen later because of that book.
Zhang Huaying looked at Chen Jiaojiao, and then at Yang Susu in front of her. She felt so uncomfortable in her heart.
"Jiaojiao?"
Seeing that she was still in a daze, Zhang Huaying called her softly.
Shen Jiaojiao finally came back to her senses and looked at them, then said helplessly: “Yang Susu, I don’t know where your brother-in-law heard this from, but those people obviously made this book sound too good. In fact, it’s not like this at all.”
"What?"
"I've read that book. I'm also a Chinese medicine practitioner, so I can tell at a glance that the mystery in it isn't that great. I do have the medical skills, but the disease you're talking about probably can't be cured."
Yang Susu seemed a little unconvinced, "How can it not work? I think you are simply lying to me."
"Why would I lie to you?" Chen Jiaojiao said, "I'm also a doctor. For me, being able to heal a patient is my duty. This medical book is a manuscript. You should be looking for treatment methods, but unfortunately it doesn't have them. To be honest, I've already read it, and most of it is just explanations."
She looked at Zhang Huaying again, "Sister Ying, I took a book from you before. I thought it was a very powerful medical book, you know that, right?"
"I have some impression that my family didn't take the book seriously."
Yang Susu thought Shen Jiaojiao was deliberately lying, and said, "If it's really according to what you said, if the book is useless, why is it so thick?"
Shen Jiaojiao smiled, “I had the same idea as you at the time, but after opening it, I found that there was a recipe book inside.”
"menu?"
They both looked at her in unison, wondering why there were recipes in this medical book?
No one would believe it if it were someone else.
Shen Jiaojiao continued, "Sister Ying, I remember you said that one of Tang Dazhang's ancestors was a royal chef, right?"
"Yes."
"That's right. To them, perhaps the recipe is more important than the medical book, so they mixed the recipe in with the book to preserve it." If the recipe were to be circulated, not many people would pay attention to it.
Zhang Huaying also found it incredible. "I was wondering why Tang Dazhang didn't notice it. He and I don't know medicine or cooking, so he treated it as useless when it was placed in front of us."
Shen Jiaojiao also expressed her understanding, but she still returned the book to Zhang Huaying.
"Anyway, Sister Ying, since this book was left by your ancestors, it will definitely be useful in the future. You should keep it for now."
