As a result, the next moment, as soon as her young lady finished speaking, her son-in-law closed his eyes, his body softened, and he fell back on the bed, lifeless.
Baofu: “???”
Ji Yunxi looked at Baofu, who was in shock, and urged him, "Baofu, go quickly."
Baofu paused for a second, then took the order and left.
Although she didn't know what happened, it was obvious that the uncle was faking fainting! !
But since the young lady gave such an order, she must have her reasons.
She just assumed that her son-in-law had indeed fainted, what else could she do?
Ji Yunxi was dressed up this time when she went out, just like she usually did.
Although Qifangtang was not close to the Ji and Wu families, Ji Yunxi's horse was very fast and it took Ji Yunxi quite a while to dress up.
As soon as she finished cleaning up, Doctor Cheng arrived.
Doctor Cheng is in his early fifties. He is the chief doctor and owner of Qifangtang.
He built Qifangtang slowly with his own hands. Doctor Cheng was a kind-hearted person who often treated poor families who could not afford medicine.
Therefore, Qifangtang not only did not make money, but also suffered losses.
The reason why it has been able to open in Shangjing City for so many years is because of Ji Yunxi's investment.
Bao Fu told him the specific situation on the way here.
Doctor Cheng bowed to Ji Yunxi and walked towards the man sleeping on the bed.
He stood aside for a moment, pretending to feel the pulse in the air, and then said, "Third Miss, the master is overly sad. Coupled with the recent spring and summer transition and excessive fatigue, he fainted. Don't worry, Third Miss, the master just needs to rest for three or four days and take the medicine I will prescribe later, and he will be fine."
Ji Yunxi was about to nod when she saw Wu Weian, who had been motionless on the bed, open his eyes and correct her, "Seven or eight days."
Doctor Cheng was originally looking at Ji Yunxi, but the sudden sound behind him startled him. He turned his head and made eye contact with the person on the bed: "Huh?"
Wu Wei'an smiled weakly at Doctor Cheng and said, "I think I may need to rest for seven or eight days before I can get better."
"This..." Doctor Cheng looked at Ji Yunxi.
Wu Weian also looked at Ji Yunxi, his expression looking somewhat pitiful and fragile.
Ji Yunxi was silent for a moment, then said to Doctor Cheng, "I'll listen to you, sir."
*
Not long after Ji Yunxi left, Wu Weian also got up.
Now he is unwell and recuperating at home, so he cannot go with Ji Yunxi.
Otherwise, he really wanted to see with his own eyes what Ji Yunxi was going to do to the Fang family's parents.
Wu Weian changed his clothes, put the eight thousand taels that Ji Yunxi gave him before leaving into his pocket, pushed open the door and walked out of the yard, and ran into the round-faced manager who had just returned from the Hanlin Academy.
His intuition told him that the round-faced manager was in a hurry and seemed to have something to talk to him about, and it must not be a good thing.
In recent years, whenever money is needed, Yuanlian has always taken the same approach.
Wu Weian pursed his lips, pretended not to see it, and moved his feet to leave.
The round-faced steward came over immediately, blocking Wu Weian's way. He bowed and said, "Sir, I have already requested leave."
Wu Wei'an sighed: "Well, did the scholars say anything?"
The round-faced steward said, "The scholars praised you for your kindness and asked you to rest and recuperate. Ma is a man of understanding. He knows that you are worried about him and will definitely come back."
"Oh." Wu Weian thought about the banknotes in his arms, his expression became colder and even seemed to carry a hint of murderous intent.
The round-faced manager subconsciously took a step back, but he kept talking: "One more thing, sir, our Yannan Escort Agency's warehouse accidentally caught fire, and all the customers' fine fabrics, papers, etc. were burned..."
Yannan is right next to Xiangping. The climate in both places is dry and hot, and it is very easy to get flooded in summer.
Wu Weian's escort agencies are all self-employed and are not run on a large scale, because if they are too large, they will attract attention and be easily exposed.
The money earned by these escort agencies and shops was continuously supplied to various places that needed money, so Wu Weian himself did not have a penny on hand.
He often has to find ways to raise money because of these accidents.
The money in his hands could never be kept warm.
Wu Weian has been used to it for so many years. His expression was very calm. He thought about what Ji Yunxi had told Wanxiang last night and followed suit: "The injured brothers must be settled and the damaged items must be counted. You should inform all the escort agencies and shops to pay attention. It is easy to catch fire in the summer. Do not bring candles to places prone to fire. As for the shops around Yannan, tell everyone not to light fires at night and use -"
Wu Wei'an paused as he recited, then, seeing the round-faced steward's surprised expression, changed his tone: "Replace them all with brothers who are good at night vision."
The round-faced steward looked at the young master once, then looked at him again, feeling surprised and confused.
Did the sun rise from the west today? Young Master's explanation was surprisingly clear and coherent! In the past, Young Master would basically just say, "How much more do you want?"
The round-faced manager hurriedly said, "Yes, sir. But the customers' belongings need to be compensated. The escort agency has no money..."
Wu Wei'an said, "How much more do you want?"
The round-faced steward finally felt a sense of familiarity: "Seven thousand taels."
Wu Weian was as tall as a bamboo or a pine tree, standing at the gate of the courtyard with his hands behind his back.
The sun rose from the horizon and its light fell on him, but he could not feel any warmth.
The round-faced steward also knew that the amount was not small and the young master would not be able to afford it.
The young master should only have one thousand taels in his hand.
But this matter is urgent and involves compensation.
The round-faced steward coughed and tentatively offered an idea: "Sir, do you want to find Madam—"
Wu Weian glanced at him coldly.
The round-faced steward immediately shut his mouth.
Wu Weian reached out and took out one bill after another from his pocket and gave seven to the round-faced manager.
Then, with an expressionless face and extremely fast steps, he disappeared in front of the manager in an instant like a ghost.
