The next morning, Xiao Yanchu went to the palace. Su Ruojin asked Yanluo to go to the Beauty Pavilion to take another look, while she went to the General's Mansion.
Upon hearing the gatekeeper announce that Su Ruojin had arrived, Madam Su excitedly went out to greet her.
"Jin'er, you're here! Come in, come in quickly."
Following behind Madam Su, Su Yaomu stared intently at Su Ruojin, but Su Ruojin pretended not to see her.
"Madam Su, I've come to check on your and General Su's health."
"Jin'er, you're so kind. Come in quickly." Madam Su stepped forward, took Su Ruojin's hand, and led her into the mansion.
Madam Su made no attempt to hide her affection for Su Ruojin.
After taking General Su's pulse and confirming that he was in good health, and giving him some pills, Su Ruojin went to Madam Su's courtyard.
After taking her pulse and administering acupuncture, and confirming that Madam Su's health was still relatively good and that her hysteria had not recurred, Su Ruojin was relieved.
"Madam Su, I should have come to thank you long ago. Shenyu Mountain owes a great debt to you and General Su this time." Su Ruojin stood up and bowed gracefully to Madam Su.
"Jin'er, get up quickly." Madam Su hurriedly pulled Su Ruojin up: "From the first moment I saw you, I felt that you were like my daughter. After I learned about your accident, I couldn't sleep all night. Every time I fell asleep, I dreamed that my little daughter was crying and looking for her mother everywhere. I couldn't rest easy until I saw you."
At this point, Mrs. Su's eyes reddened.
She wiped her eyes with a handkerchief: "I'm sorry, I lost my composure."
Su Ruojin shook her head. What could she say about a mother missing her daughter? Only a warm feeling welled up in her heart.
"Thank goodness you're alright." Madam Su felt a lingering sense of fear.
Su Ruojin opened her mouth as if to say something, but in the end, she didn't say anything.
She was still not ready to return to the General's Mansion as the young lady.
"Mrs. Su, please get some rest and remember to take your medicine. I'll come see you again in a few days." Su Ruojin stood up to take her leave.
"Alright, Yao Yao, please see Dr. Su off for me."
Having just received acupuncture, Madam Su was advised to avoid exposure to cold winds, so she asked Su Muyao to escort Su Ruojin to safety.
Once outside the hospital, Su Muyao spoke coldly: "Dr. Su, it seems you didn't listen to what I said. My mother risked her health to go to Shenyu Mountain for you, and after returning, she had a high fever for a whole day. Every time she sees you, nothing good ever comes of it."
"Doctor Su, I know you're treating the young prince at the Regent's Palace. I hope you'll return to Yanyang as soon as you've cured him. The capital isn't a place for someone from a small place like you. Don't come to the General's Mansion again until then, or don't blame me for being impolite."
Su Ruojin stopped and turned to look at Su Muyao, her eyes devoid of any warmth: "Miss Su, I won't hold it against you because you're thinking of Madam Su, but I don't like others telling me what to do. Whether I stay or leave depends on my mood. If you want to be impolite, just bring it on, I'll take it."
After saying that, she ignored Su Muyao and left the Su residence.
In her eyes, Su Muyao was like a spoiled child, and she couldn't be bothered with her.
But if Su Muyao really dares to do something, then let her try.
Watching Su Ruojin's departing figure, Su Muyao's face turned ashen.
Back at the manor, Yanluo was already back: "Miss, the Beauty Pavilion has new products today, it's some kind of lip balm, it's supposed to be suitable for men, women, and children, it costs two taels of silver, I bought one."
Yanlu handed over the lip balm.
Su Ruojin took it and looked at it, then scoffed, "Such a low-cost item, and they dare to sell it for two taels of silver? They're really heartless."
Two taels of silver—that's less than the monthly expenses for an average family.
For a small lip balm to generate such high profits, Wei Xuecheng certainly has a big appetite.
"Let's go, take Mao Mao with us, and go to Yunji Courtyard to keep Xiao Bao company."
She had planned to detoxify Xiao Yanchu today, but with Princess Bei Li arriving, it seems there won't be time.
But we've been through so many years, and with the herb Shiyingcao, it's no problem to stay up for a day or two.
