"Quick, bring me that packet of tonic from the cupboard. I'll make a new pot of tonic soup."
"Good old lady."
The housekeeper walked to the cupboard with a smile on his face and took out the last packet of tonic.
He was curious and took a closer look at the paper on the tonic. Seeing the words on it, he lowered his head with his reading glasses to take a closer look.
But after looking at it for a long time, he still couldn't see clearly what was written on it, so he pushed his reading glasses towards Ji's mother and said, "Madam, there are words on it."
"There are words? What words?"
Ji's mother tied an apron and walked up to the housekeeper.
What caught my eye was handwriting that looked like chicken claws.
"What is this? It's so sloppy!"
Ji's mother picked up the medicine bag and looked at it carefully, but she couldn't figure out what it was.
"Xiao Wu! Let me take a look."
The housekeeper said to the young maid who was washing vegetables nearby.
"Good housekeeper."
The young female servant immediately wiped her hands and took the medicine bag.
She carefully examined it and said, "The precautions written on it tell you not to put wolfberries in the tonic soup."
"Ahem... you... what did you say? So, it says not to put wolfberries in it?"
The housekeeper was so excited that he choked on his saliva. He put his hand to his mouth and coughed violently, and asked the young female servant in a hurry.
"Yes, the boss said we can't put wolfberries in it."
Ji's mother, standing by, was so frightened that she bit her claws and asked the young female servant with bated breath, "What will happen if...if, you let him go?"
"The mildest cases are insomnia, while the worst cases are hyperactivity for three days and three nights."
After hearing this, Ji's mother almost fainted.
Last night she made a nourishing soup and threw a handful of wolfberries into it.
When serving the nourishing soup, she also added some extra wolfberries.
"Butler..."
Ji's mother looked at the housekeeper with tears in her eyes.
She, she...she seems to have done something bad again.
The housekeeper who was asked for help by Ji's mother held his forehead with his hand, feeling overwhelmed.
I clearly supervised it, so how could this mistake happen?
Last night when the young lady questioned the tonic soup, he gave her a very firm assurance.
But something went wrong in the blink of an eye. How could he face the young lady in the future?
"This, this... this is not my fault. It's the words on the medicine package. They look like chicken claws and are so small. Who would carefully read what is written on it?"
Ji's mother tried her best to defend herself and was about to cry.
She really didn't mean to do anything bad! And she was already very careful.
"Butler, you...you watched the whole thing. It's really none of my business."
"That doctor is really something. Why didn't he tell us about the precautions?"
The more Ji's mother spoke, the more aggrieved she felt.
The housekeeper who was holding his forehead hastily took his hand away and said, "I'm going upstairs to see how the young lady is doing. If she's really not well, we'll contact a doctor."
"Okay, okay, okay, butler, please go quickly."
Ji's mother pushed the housekeeper.
She didn't dare go up there herself, for fear of being scolded by her son.
"I'll go up right away. Madam, please don't make the tonic soup any longer."
As the housekeeper spoke, he walked quickly out of the kitchen and went upstairs immediately.
When he arrived at Ji Che's door, he first put his ear to the door, and when he heard no movement, he knocked on the door, "Master, Madam, are you all right?"
After more than ten seconds, there was no response from the room.
"Master, Madam?"
The anxious housekeeper knocked on the door again.
This time I waited for about a minute, but there was still no response from the room.
"Oh my god! Could something have really happened?"
"Master and Madam, I'm sorry."
The housekeeper hurriedly opened Ji Che's door himself.
What caught his eye was a room with all the curtains drawn. It was a little dark, but the housekeeper could still see clearly that there was no one on the big bed. There was a light in the bathroom, and the sound of running water.
The nervous housekeeper was about to walk over, but the glass door suddenly snapped open with a hand.
The housekeeper blushed, quickly left the room, and closed the door gently.
"It's okay, nothing happened."
The butler closed the door and patted his chest.
"Why are you here so early in the morning?"
Ji Mei's voice suddenly sounded from behind the housekeeper.
The housekeeper quickly turned around and followed Ji Mei out of her room, calling respectfully, "Good morning, Miss."
"Why are you here?"
Ji Mei continued with the same words, then narrowed her eyes, "Could it be that my mother has done something bad again?"
"No, no, it's really not the old lady's fault this time."
The butler waved his hands quickly.
Ji Mei didn't believe it.
She had just clearly heard the housekeeper say that fortunately nothing happened, so there must be something wrong.
The housekeeper was sweating profusely under Ji Mei's gaze, and could only whisper truthfully, "Yes, it's about the tonic soup."
The word "make up" made Ji Mei frown instinctively.
None of the tonic medicines and soups her mother made were good.
"It's really not the old lady's fault this time. I was worried and followed her the whole time, fearing something might happen."
"But at that time, many people with special abilities came to the pharmacy. It seemed that people on missions were poisoned by mutant plants. The doctor was very busy and gave us the medicine packs and left without any instructions. We didn't pay attention to the precautions written on them."
The housekeeper explained to Ji Mei what had happened in one breath, speaking quickly and clearly.
Ji Mei's brows were tightly knitted.
Her mother is a trouble-making person. Something goes wrong no matter what she does.
"You... please don't scold the old lady later. She will hide and cry again."
The housekeeper said cautiously.
"Why would I scold her? If anyone should scold her, it should be my brother."
"The young master probably won't be angry, but the young mistress might be angry." The butler said awkwardly.
