Chapter 33 Studying Medicine
"Have you inquired at Liangfuzhai?"
"Cough cough..."
Aunt Liu coughed a few times, and Granny Zhang immediately patted her back and said on her behalf, "She went there a long time ago."
"The Liangfuzhai shop has long been replaced. Not only Liangfuzhai, but all the shops in the Marquis's mansion have been completely replaced."
"Only after this incident did I realize that no one in this mansion, except for those in Bihe Courtyard, had moved, and many people had been replaced."
"After inquiring, I found out that the young lady thought the current generation of people were lazy, so she replaced them with some younger and more clever ones."
As Zhang Mama spoke, all three people in the room knew it was just an excuse.
Even the thirteen-year-old maid in the household has been replaced, and it's not because of age or laziness at all.
The goal was to completely reshuffle the entire Marquis's mansion.
"I thought that the power to manage the family would only be in Jiang Wan Ning's hands for a short time, but I didn't expect her to be so quick."
“Yes, we were careless in this matter,” Zhang Mama chimed in.
Jiang Wanru could no longer hear anything else; her legs went weak, and she collapsed to the ground.
Aunt Liu hurriedly got up, "Ru'er, don't panic."
I was so angry when I heard the news that I vomited blood, but I've calmed down now.
"Where there's life, there's hope."
"Fortunately, we didn't gamble everything by borrowing money. No matter how she manages the household, she still has to pay her due salary."
"Let's tighten our belts for now."
“Madam is right,” Zhang Mama comforted her. “Second Miss, you still have the Prince. The Langya Prince’s Mansion has countless treasures. Even if you are given one or two pieces, they can be sold to cover your expenses for half a year.”
"Yes, and besides, don't you have some savings of your own? Take them out for emergencies."
Tears streamed down Jiang Wanru's face. "It's too late, everything is too late."
"Mother, we're doomed this time."
Aunt Liu and Granny Zhang exchanged a glance; after all, she was their daughter.
Seeing that Jiang Wanru's head and ears were bald, Aunt Liu immediately realized, "Did you also put money in?"
Jiang Wanru shook her head. "If it were just like that, that would be fine."
Aunt Liu stiffened upon hearing this. "Granny Zhang, quick, look at my private seal."
Granny Zhang quickly opened the small mechanism at the bottom of the dressing box, "The private seal is gone."
Aunt Liu was breathing heavily, her hand trembling as she pointed at Jiang Wanru. Before she could utter a sound, she spat out another mouthful of blood.
He fell headfirst to the ground.
"mother!"
Jiang Wanru rushed forward, but it was too late.
Granny Zhang immediately shouted to the maids guarding the courtyard, "Quickly go and fetch a doctor, and tell them that the concubine has fallen ill."
"Please invite the Marquis over as well!"
The maidservant, having received the order, dared not linger and hurriedly ran out.
Granny Zhang and Jiang Wanru worked together to help Aunt Liu to bed.
Granny Zhang helped Consort Liu to a sip of tea. "Consort, don't worry. What's done is done. Now we need to figure out a solution."
"But your body is your own. If something goes wrong with your body, no amount of money can buy it back."
Jiang Wanru knelt by the bedside, "Yes, Mother."
"Mother, don't worry, I have a solution right now."
Upon hearing these words, Aunt Liu slowly opened her eyes.
Jiang Wanru recounted how she had seen Jiang Wanning secretly meeting a man, and how she had hidden the man in the Marquis's mansion.
"She thinks it's darkest under the lamp, and that hiding people in the Marquis's mansion will make them less likely to be discovered," said Granny Zhang.
Aunt Liu grabbed Jiang Wanru's hand, "Is what you're saying true?"
"Mother, what time is it? How could your daughter lie to you?"
“After something like this, forget about the power of managing the household, Jiang Wan Ning can forget about marrying the Prince of Langya again. If she and her mother had any shame, they should just kill themselves.”
Aunt Liu, however, was only interested in the power to manage the household.
She agreed to do this for money, to become someone superior.
She didn't care about Jiang Zheng, that blockhead, at all, so why would she target Zhou?
Everything she did was because that person made her do it.
As for his daughter, she was born into the Marquis's mansion and always considered herself to be superior to others.
Ever since he learned his true identity at the age of five, he has regarded Jiang Wan Ning as a thorn in his side.
She felt that Jiang Wan Ning had taken everything from her.
Only by regaining control of the stewardship can the borrowed money be repaid.
"This matter must not be acted upon rashly; follow my instructions."
"Yes, Mother."
Aunt Liu finally caught her breath and took the opportunity to instruct Zhang Mama: "Go and find out how much silver Wang Fu borrowed using my private seal."
"No need to investigate. I told her to borrow as much as possible. She borrowed a total of 50,000 taels from three money shops."
Aunt Liu swallowed a mouthful of stale air. "It took me ten years to save up 30,000 taels. And you dare to borrow 50,000 taels!"
“Auntie, the second young lady was just trying to earn more money; it’s just that the other party is too cunning,” Zhang Mama said, trying to comfort her.
"Yes, Mother, it's all because of that Jiang Wan Ning. I'll make her pay back double!"
As Jiang Wan Ning spoke, she gripped the hem of her clothes tightly with both hands.
Jiang Wan Ning!
What makes her so special?!
“Because of my good family background,” Jiang Wanning said. “That’s all.”
"Then I can protect you."
Yu Hai chuckled softly, "Thank you again, Miss Jiang. If I hadn't met you, I'm afraid..."
Jiang Wan Ning also smiled and said, "I already told you I can protect you."
"However, I have learned a lot from chatting with you these past few days. Since you are studying medicine, I happen to have some patients here."
Yu Hai's eyes lit up. "It would be my honor to serve Miss Jiang."
"This is also a way of repaying your life-saving grace."
He was eager to prove his abilities.
Jiang Wan Ning naturally understood, "I already know how skilled you are in medicine after seeing you stitch up the wounds of these mice and rabbits these past few days."
"However, that person is very important to my Dongling Kingdom, and I'm afraid it would be inappropriate to introduce him too easily..."
Jiang Wan Ning deliberately hesitated, as if she wanted to say something but then stopped herself.
Yu Hai frowned, then said, "I see that Miss Jiang is very interested in medical skills. How about I pass on all my skills to you?"
"You can treat him then."
Jiang Wan Ning knew that no matter how intelligent she was, she could learn quickly, but medical skills were different from other skills.
Pei Yanchuan's body couldn't wait for him to heal himself, but his goal of learning medicine from Ah Hai had already been achieved.
“Then how about I use the tea in my hand to ask you to be my teacher?” Jiang Wan Ning said readily.
“We don’t do that where I’m from,” Yu Hai said with a smile. “Even though I’m teaching you medicine, we’re still friends.”
"good."
Jiang Wan Ning added, "I had you stay here for your convenience before, but if you don't like it now, I'll have someone move you to another courtyard."
"No need to trouble yourself, this place is perfect."
Yu Hai also knew that the rules between men and women were very strict in ancient times.
The house is neither in the backyard nor separated from Jiang Wan Ning's yard by a corridor, which is quite convenient.
"Then you can stay here in peace."
Now that I've become an apprentice and am staying in the guest quarters, there shouldn't be any trouble in the future.
