The leading courtesan immediately stepped forward, a hint of worry flashing across her brows, and asked, "Doctor, how is my mother?"
The old doctor who came out stroked his beard and said, "She may have caught a cold, that's why she feels so cold. Let her cover herself with more blankets and sweat a little, and she'll be fine."
"So... I don't need to take medicine?" The courtesan was a little surprised.
The old doctor shook his head and left without saying anything more.
Everyone: ...
Although everyone remained silent, everyone understood in an instant.
Although Fengyuelou doesn't make as much money as the best brothels, the girls there are also very good. It can be said that they make a fortune every day, but the madam is very reluctant to spend money.
Even for a courtesan at such a level, the food is good, but only good. If you really want to eat abalone or ginseng tripe, you still have to pay the cook to buy it, otherwise the kitchen itself will not be able to afford it.
Even when the madam herself fell ill, she was unwilling to spend money on medicine.
…
night.
Lu Yunxi returned to the room and saw Ling'er's expression of relief and anxiety. He smiled and comforted her, "Ling'er, you can rest assured now. It usually takes seven or eight days to recover from a cold. I'll go out and ask if there is any..."
However, before she could finish her words, Ling'er gasped and quickly covered her mouth with her hand.
Ling'er looked around anxiously, and after making sure that no one was around, she clapped her hands and glared at her: "How dare you say anything! You're such a fool! Don't tell anyone about this. If you're found out, I can't help you."
Lu Yunxi raised the corners of her lips, her tone a little subtle: "Don't worry." Because the problem with the madam was not a cold, but she had drugged her.
This medicine has no effect on the body. On the contrary, after taking this medicine, although the body will feel uncomfortable for a short time, the body will be recuperated and become much healthier.
But the magic of this medicine is that the period of discomfort is not just seven or eight days, but at least three months.
In other words, for at least three months, the madam will suddenly feel uncomfortable here and there and will have no time to take care of things at all.
At this moment, Lu Yunxi smiled confidently, but did not notice Ling'er's suspicious look beside him.
Qing'er...seemed very sure.

After the madam fell ill, Fengyuelou lived an unusually comfortable life. The ambitious ones continued to work hard, and those who loved to play leisurely also began to relax.
However, the good times did not last long.
Lu Yunxi suddenly received news that the madam asked her to work in the hall.
The job here is certainly not cleaning.
She didn't resist and went to the hall obediently.
The hall was bustling and noisy at night, with singing and dancing girls performing on the stage and guests sitting in the audience. Some of them clapped along, some were drunk, and some were talking to their friends and laughing wildly.
Lu Yunxi looked at the slowly rising experience points on the system panel, feeling as refreshed as if he had drunk an ice-cold cola in the middle of summer.
However, it is not so easy to slack off.
"Little girl, come and serve some wine!" A drunken guest suddenly waved.
