Chapter 116 The old lady comes again
"Dalinzi, please explain this to Madam in detail."
Wei Yang brought in a servant in brown shorts.
"Madam, we followed the Cheng family all the way out of the city. He didn't go to the border but to the Cheng family orchard, which is thirty miles away from the Huguo Temple. He never came out after entering. We sneaked in at night and didn't see any suspicious people. They were all Cheng family fruit farmers. There are four families living there. They are all family members."
Feng Yingying asked, "Where is the man who sent the silver now?"
"He's still in the orchard. I asked the third brother to keep an eye on him. He didn't have a lot of banknotes on him, only a small amount of change. He wasn't very alert last night. The windows were wide open and his clothes were left lying around. We quietly sneaked in and took a look."
"Are you sure there aren't a lot of banknotes?"
"Sure little one!"
Feng Yingying frowned. "Dalinzi, before that person left the Cheng Mansion last night, was there anything unusual in the Cheng Mansion? Did you notice anyone else going there?"
Dalinzi shook his head. "We were watching the front and back gates of the Cheng Mansion. The accountant went back to the Cheng Mansion and didn't come out. Then, that man drove the carriage out from the back door, and we followed him all the way out of the city."
Feng Yingying: "Weiyang, go call Li Da over."
"Madam." When Li Da arrived, he glanced at Dalinzi who was waiting on the side.
"Did your subordinates tell you about Dalinzi and his men leaving the city yesterday with the Cheng family?"
"I told you! Dalinzi said it was arranged by Madam, so my men didn't follow him out of the city and are still keeping an eye on the Cheng Mansion."
"After Dalinzi left, did anyone else from the Cheng family leave the house, or did anyone else go to the Cheng house?"
Li Da said, "After Dalinzi and the others left, no one from the Cheng family left the house. Near dinnertime, after the second master of the Cheng family returned from duty, no one has been to the Cheng residence since. This morning, the Cheng family's servants got up early to buy food, and they found nothing unusual. Someone will come back to report at noon, and I will then report to Madam."
The Cheng family is so cautious!
Feng Yingying just didn't believe that she couldn't find out Cheng Xiao's mistress!
"Li Da, Madam Cheng is coming to the mansion today. When she leaves, arrange for someone to keep an eye on her, including her trusted confidant, Madam Niu."
"Yes, ma'am."
"Dalinzi, you guys stay in the orchard for a few days and see if there are any other young women there."
"yes."
"Old Jiang, I didn't tell the truth last time when the old lady was here. The improvement in her eye disease is indeed closely related to her mood, but it's safer to prescribe the right medicine. The original prescription isn't very effective."
"You know I'm good at diagnosing gynecology and can tell if the baby is a boy or a girl, but I'm not good at treating eye diseases. Thanks to Elder Jiang's care over the years, I've been invited by various mansions to diagnose pregnancy pulses. That day, I returned home feeling uneasy and hoping the old lady's eye disease would heal quickly. So I looked through various medical classics and actually found this eye compress recipe. To be on the safe side, I worked with other doctors in the mansion to discuss it, and it's definitely effective."
Meng Guangde respectfully handed the new eye mask recipe to Jiang Youya with both hands.
Seeing that he was sincere and that he was his wife's savior, Jiang Youya took it with a gentle face, glanced at it quickly, and was secretly shocked.
This recipe is exactly the same as the one prescribed by Sister Yu!
"If I use this prescription, how long will it take for my wife's eye disease to heal?"
"It will be healed in three months, but it needs acupuncture. Without acupuncture, it will heal more slowly. In short, it won't take more than six months. I can come here every morning to give the old lady acupuncture. I guarantee that in three months, the old lady's eyes will be restored to sight."
"Dad," Jiang Yunwan said, "Mom's eyes still need to be taken care of slowly. If we rush, what if the condition relapses? Since eye compresses work, there's no need for acupuncture. Sister Yu can also take care of her face more. When Mom regains her sight, she'll be able to see Sister Yu clearly."
Jiang Youya nodded, "Then let's do as Wanwan says. Just apply the compress to the eyes without acupuncture."
Madam Cheng asked, "Madam Song, what's wrong with your daughter Yu's face? Doctor Meng is very skilled in treating burns, scalds, and scars. Shushu knows about this. Can you ask Doctor Meng to take a look at Yu's face?"
Jiang Yunshu frowned slightly. Meng Guangde did have a method, but it was only used to treat servants.
Now that she had doubts about his character, it was impossible for her to trust his medical skills anymore.
"Thank you, Madam Cheng, for your kindness. My sister Yu was treated by a famous doctor from Jiangnan before coming to Beijing. It won't be long before she can take off her mask."
"Madam Cheng, why are you here today? You're not here to take Shushu home, are you?" Feng Yingying walked into the main hall with a warm smile on her face. "That won't do. Last time we agreed that Shushu would stay at her parents' home to take care of the baby. You can't go back on your word."
Old Madam Cheng cursed inwardly.
You are the one who has so many troubles!
He had no reason to meddle in the Cheng family's family background, causing her to have to pay the monthly salary to the servants!
"Ha... Madam Jiang misunderstood. Today I brought Doctor Meng to give Madam Jiang a new eye compress prescription. My mother-in-law's eye disease has improved a lot, and her good mood has a lot to do with it. She will indeed be able to see again within six months to a year. My mother-in-law was in high spirits at the time, so Doctor Meng didn't tell her. The previous prescription was not very effective and couldn't treat the symptoms. Doctor Meng specializes in gynecology, so he went back and looked through medical books to find an effective eye compress prescription to help my mother-in-law regain her sight sooner. He actually found it. Using this new prescription combined with acupuncture, she will be able to see again in three months."
Feng Yingying took the new prescription from Jiang Youya and was slightly surprised.
Meng Guangde is really amazing. He prescribed the same prescription as Sister Yu's in such a short time.
She even suspected that the Cheng family had spies in the mansion.
Although it is impossible, we have to investigate it carefully today. What if it is really planted?
Isn't their secret investigation of the Cheng family right under the Cheng family's nose?
"Hey, there's no need to bother you to come in person for this matter. Doctor Meng can just come over."
"I came here today to talk to Shushu about the intimate matters between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law."
Feng Yingying glanced at Jiang Yunshu. She shouldn't be easily fooled by her mother-in-law, right?
"Dad, Wanwan, let's go to Mom's yard and let the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law have a good talk."
After a while, only Madam Cheng and Jiang Yunshu were left in the guest hall.
Madam Cheng's kind smile faded halfway. "Shushu, the doctor in the Meng Mansion isn't proficient in all specialties. He was wrong not to speak directly about the eye disease at the time. That's understandable. After all, he can't just talk about things he's unsure of. He's been looking for a prescription since he returned home."
Jiang Yunshu pretended to be angry and said, "Doctor Meng, what you did has really embarrassed me in front of Master Mu."
"What? Prince Mu knows everything?"
"Yesterday, Prince Mu brought Divine Doctor Lu to the mansion to bring my mother eye ointment. Divine Doctor Lu also said my mother was getting better after taking her pulse, but the prescription didn't work at all! Since Doctor Meng had found the prescription, why didn't he send it to me earlier? I ended up saying a lot of good things about Doctor Meng in front of my family. If Doctor Meng wasn't my mother's savior, my father and sister-in-law would have doubted his character."
Old Madam Cheng breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the result was not too bad.
