Having learned about some of Jiang Ruoya's past, He Jiuniang felt a complex mix of emotions towards her, finding her tragic past even somewhat heartbreaking.
How could her former husband's family have mistreated her so much that she has been living in a daze and suffering from illness for so many years?
Mingze smiled and said, "I'm sorry to have made Dr. He laugh at all. My intention is very simple. After all, those things back then were not good things. Even if Dr. He can make her remember, it's best not to. I don't want her to be immersed in pain anymore. My only wish is for her to be happy every day and get a good night's sleep."
Upon hearing this, He Jiuniang understood that this was Mingze's purpose in telling her so much.
Mingze likely believed in her abilities, but was also worried that if she actually cured the person, she would fall back into those painful memories, which is why he reminded her of that.
He Jiuniang had originally intended to bring up this matter, but upon hearing his words, she immediately smiled and said, "Master Ming, you've come to the same conclusion as me. The reason I asked you to have another child before was to distract Madam from her longing for her beloved daughter. But I also wanted to say that if you were unwilling, I could help Madam completely forget that past. I was just worried that you wouldn't be willing, so I didn't bring it up. Now that you've said this, I have no more worries."
"Doctor He, is what you say true? Can it really help my wife forget the pain of the past?"
Mingze was somewhat excited. He had only been testing the waters, but he hadn't expected to receive such good news. For years, he had been secretly searching for a medicine that could make people forget their past, but to no avail. He could only watch helplessly as his wife suffered greatly.
"Yes, I can make Madam forget her memories from ten years ago. However, in that case, the memory of meeting you might also disappear. You'll have to talk to her about it."
"It's alright, it's alright, she doesn't remember any of that now!"
Mingze waved his hand dismissively. He had experienced Jiang Ruoya's memory confusion over the years and the most difficult times, so why would he care about those things?
Their initial meeting wasn't so pleasant either. She was immersed in sadness all day long, and he wasn't much better off. He both loved and hated the woman he fell for at first sight, and even did some radical things that hurt her. Looking back now, it's best to forget her, and he doesn't care anymore.
With this guarantee, He Jiuniang could proceed with confidence and boldness.
"If Doctor He can cure your wife, I will repay you handsomely!"
Mingze solemnly clasped his hands in a fist salute, clearly taking it seriously.
He Jiuniang hurriedly said, "Master Ming, you are too kind. Madam once saved the lives of my whole family on the road. Now that Madam is ill, it is only right that I help her if I have the ability. As for whether to thank her or not, Master Ming, please don't mention it again. I still have some things to say to Lingyue and Lingxue, so I will go out with them first."
With that, she gave a slight curtsy and turned to leave.
Mingze found it somewhat amusing; it was the first time he had ever encountered such a family.
When Mingze heard Lingyue and Lingxue say that Jiang Ruoya had come to their door last night, he even thought that she might have asked them for a favor, which was why she made up an excuse to come over. Who knew that Jiang Ruoya slept much more peacefully last night, fell asleep soon after, and stayed asleep until dawn. She hadn't slept so comfortably in a long time.
He only found out this morning that Ling Yue had given him the medicine prescribed by He Jiu Niang an hour before he went to bed, and only then did he believe that she really had some skills.
That's when I really started thinking about meeting her.
However, He Jiu Niang's appearance did seem somewhat familiar to him. He summoned his men and ordered, "Go and investigate the background of this Doctor He."
We know that He Jiuniang is the daughter-in-law of the third branch of the Lu family, but her background is very vague. It is said that she was bought by the Lu family from a human trafficker, which is worth pondering. Perhaps she is really related to someone.
More importantly, he just saw Jiang Ruoya holding his hand and calling him Jiu'er. The two of them standing together really did look a bit like mother and daughter.
If this child, whose name also contains the character "玖", is indeed that person, then it would fulfill one of Madam's wishes.
"Yes, Master."
After saying that, the dark figure disappeared from the room.
Mingze sat down on the edge of the bed again, looking at Jiang Ruoya who was sleeping peacefully, and reached out to stroke her hair with loving eyes.
He Jiuniang took Lingyue and Lingxue to their room, saying she wanted to teach them how to wear their undergarments.
The two women were initially dismissive, thinking that it was just underwear and they knew how to wear it themselves, so why did they need someone to teach them?
But when they opened the box and saw what was inside, they were instantly dumbfounded. What were these two little lumps?
He Jiuniang felt their puzzled looks and then proudly puffed out her chest.
The two girls realized something; this thing couldn't be...
Before she could even say it, her face flushed red.
He Jiuniang explained to them, "This thing is worn as a bellyband, but you have to take it off at night and wear this nightgown instead. You two sisters and your wife each get three. I picked them out carefully. The colors for you two are more youthful and vibrant, while your wife's are more mature. You're all grown up now, so don't be shy. Wearing this little garment is good for your health, trust me."
The two girls were about the same age as Lotus, and it was the best time for them to adjust their bodies.
"These are new products from my family's workshop. They're not on sale yet, but they'll be available when the shop we bought in the county town opens. I'm sending you a few sets to try first. I'll send you more as we come up with new designs!"
He Jiuniang was very generous. The two girls, suppressing their shyness, carefully touched the fabric and found that it was a good material that could be worn next to the skin. Looking at He Jiuniang's shapely figure, they felt envious. Could they wear it and look like that?
"It's amazing that Madam He's family has started a business! We'll definitely be there to support you when your shop opens. Madam, would you be interested in opening a shop in the prefectural city?"
The two girls had been completely won over by He Jiuniang, especially Ling Xue, who was no longer as wary and guarded as she had been when they first met, and was just an ordinary girl of about ten years old.
He Jiuniang knew that this meant they were completely treating her as one of their own.
"We are planning to develop in the prefectural city, but we just bought a shop in the county town, so we need to keep an eye on things there. We probably won't be able to develop in the prefectural city until next year."
He Jiuniang was confident, but she also knew it wouldn't work. She was all alone, and even if she bought the shop, there would be no one to help manage it. Lianhua was just a young girl, and she couldn't let her work too hard.
Back home, we still need to cultivate more people who can do business.
Hearing her say that, Ling Yue and Ling Xue only felt a little regretful and didn't say anything more. However, they remembered something else and asked, "I heard there's a place in Daling County that sells Lu Black Duck. My husband heard about the novel flavor and had someone buy some to eat twice. Madam really liked it. That family seems to be surnamed Lu. Could they also be from Madam He's family?"
