"Doctor Li, can you please help me check if there is any problem with this pastry?" Ruizhu came to the pharmacy to find Doctor Li.
"Ruizhu girl, put your things here first, I'll check them out."
"good."
Ruizhu put the things on the stone table, stepped aside and waited quietly.
Doctor Li opened the package, took out the pastry, and smelled it first. There was no special smell.
Then he took out some tools and started to do experimental tests.
This went on for about an hour, and he was so tired that he was sweating profusely.
The little medicine boy wiped his sweat with a towel and said, "Master, please take a rest."
"good."
Ruizhu made a cup of tea for Doctor Li: "Grandpa Li, please have some tea."
"Hmm." Doctor Li took the tea, took a sip, put the cup on the table, and said to the little medicine boy, "Child, take a look at the medicine I prepared for Mrs. Wang. Has it worked?"
"Okay, Master."
The little medicine boy put down the towel and ran to the medicine furnace. Ruizhu knew that Doctor Li had something to say to her.
She asked, "Is there something wrong with this osmanthus cake?"
"There is a problem." Doctor Li paused and continued, "I used a drug that stimulates the mind."
"The problem isn't that big, but it's not good to take this medicine for a long time."
Ruizhu nodded: "I understand. Thank you, Doctor Li."
"Well, if you need any help in the future, just come to me." Doctor Li said to Ruizhu.
He didn't want to ask any other questions. Having lived in the Mu Mansion for so many years, he had seen all kinds of things about descendants. He knew what to ask and what not to ask, what to say and what not to say.
Ruizhu nodded: "Okay."
After getting the result, Ruizhu returned to Biyun Pavilion.
"Second Madam," Ruizhu came to Gu Yunran. Gu Yunran knew that she had something to say, so she dismissed the girl who was watering the trees in the yard.
"I'm tired and need to rest for a while. You all can go down."
"yes."
The little girls retreated respectfully.
Only two maids, Zhuye and Ruizhu, were left in the yard. Zhuye went to the small kitchen to make snacks for Gu Yunran.
"Go ahead." Gu Yunran poured a glass of water and pushed it in front of Ruizhu.
Ruizhu took it, said thank you, took a sip of water, and felt her throat much better.
She said, "There was indeed drug in the cake. The person who put the drug in was really smart. Doctor Li took a long time to examine it before he found it."
"Oh?" Gu Yunran frowned. This matter seemed to be expected, but also somewhat unexpected.
She asked, "What medicine?"
"It's a psychoactive drug."
"Oh!" Gu Yunran exhaled softly, "What on earth does the Second Miss want to do? Giving her own sister this kind of drug."
"Oh." She sighed and shook her head, "I can't see what he wants to do."
Ruizhu also frowned: "This servant also doesn't understand the Second Young Lady."
"By the way, the Second Miss should have arrived at Hanshan Temple a long time ago. How is she doing over there?"
Ruizhu pursed her lips and said, "Ningxue hasn't sent any news back yet."
"Yeah." Gu Yunran hummed lightly, "No news, which means she is very well-behaved."
"Then just wait quietly."
"yes."
At this time, Zhuye prepared the snacks and brought them out.
"Miss, this rose pastry is a new invention of mine. Please try it."
"Hmm." Gu Yunran pinched a piece and put it in his mouth. "Zhuye, your cooking skills are getting better and better."
"By the way, send some to Miss Five."
"Okay, I'll take it to Miss Fifth right away." She placed the Bamboo Leaf Rose book in the food box and was about to leave when Gu Yunran called out to her, "Forget it. I'll take it myself. It's a good opportunity to see how Miss Fifth is doing."
"yes."
Zhuye followed Gu Yunran carrying the food box. They came to the third lady's yard, where she was embroidering.
Seeing Gu Yunran coming, she hurriedly put down the work in her hands.
"Yun Ran, why are you here?"
Gu Yunran smiled and said, "I came to see Third Aunt and Fifth Miss."
"The wound on your face?"
"Hi, I'm fine." The third lady took Gu Yunran's hand and asked her to sit next to her.
"It's so fast, your belly is already five months old. You look so pregnant, you should be having twins."
Gu Yunran smiled and said, "I consulted the court doctor, and he also said it was twins."
"That's great. If two of them come out at once, you'll suffer less."
Hearing Gu Yunran's voice, the fifth young lady ran out.
"Second sister-in-law, you're here." The fifth lady threw herself into Gu Yunran's arms and hugged her, "Yaoyao misses you."
"How are you?" Gu Yunran rubbed the Fifth Miss's head. "Are you feeling better?"
"Don't worry, second sister-in-law, Yaoyao is fine." Miss Five said with a smile.
Suddenly she smelled a fragrance and sniffed hard: "Oh, it smells so good!"
"Your sister-in-law gave you some rose pastries." The third lady said with a smile, "Would you like to try some?"
"OK."
The third lady opened the lid of the lunch box, took out a rose book and handed it to the fifth lady.
"Try it."
"Hmm." Miss Five stretched out her chubby little hand to catch the rose pastry, took a bite, and acted as if she was enjoying it.
"It's so delicious, thank you, second sister-in-law!"
The fifth young lady sat nearby eating rose pastries, while the third lady and Gu Yunran chatted intermittently. Before they knew it, it was already dark.
"Yunran, let's have dinner in my yard tonight."
