Chapter 444
Moving to the table on the kang, Xiao Yinxiu took a closer look and was a little stunned, "Is this a herbal medicine?"
When I opened it and took a closer look, I saw herbs of different sizes wrapped in yellow paper. There was a folded paper next to it with a series of herbal names written on it: Rehmannia root, Cornus officinalis, Lycium barbarum, Ligustrum lucidum, etc. Looking down, it said how to use and what their effects were.
Shuangyue could read the text and after finishing reading, she looked at Xiao Yinxiu.
"Madam, this is probably a prescription for fertility."
Since giving birth to Huan Ge'er, Xiao Yinxiu also wanted to have another child, but she just couldn't get pregnant. She searched for many prescriptions day by day, some of which she had tried, such as raspberry and epimedium.
It seems that she certainly understands.
"Madam, I see that this prescription is a little different from what you used to take. There are also few expensive drugs on it. If not, take it and have a look."
Xiao Yinxiu read the prescription over and over again, feeling helpless. "Everyone knows how sad I am, but there is no one in this mansion who cares about me. Fuyun treats me so sincerely, but because the exchanges between the two mansions are not very common, I have to reject her from time to time. I think it is my incompetence."
"Madam, please don't say that. I came here to make friends with you because I thought you were kind and capable."
"What ability do I have? To call the wind and rain? I'm not as good as Zhang Yang from the Fourth Family."
After hearing what the Fourth Young Master's wife said, Shuang Yue echoed, "I also heard a few words, saying that the Fourth Young Master's wife and the eldest girl don't get along. I think the eldest girl is from a family like that, and she won't lower herself to beg the Fourth Young Master's wife. I heard that and I won't associate with her."
Xiao Yinxiu knew best whether they would come or not.
She also vaguely knew that Jin Fuyun hated and looked down on the Song family.
That's it.
Now that he had read the prescription, there was no way he could return it. He told Aunt Chu to find some return gifts and sent Shuangyue back, "Remember to tell you everything I told you before. The young lady is very smart and will understand my painstaking efforts."
"Yes, I will do it right now."
"Tomorrow morning, by the way, you should also send my pot of newly opened orchids."
The next day, Shuangyue disguised herself and called two unfamiliar maids to take the gifts. After going out through the back door, she found a sedan chair and rushed to the princess's villa.
After being sent to the gatehouse, Shuangyue specifically asked to see the head maid serving Jin Fuyun.
After hearing what the messenger girl said, Pan Xi hurried to the corner gate. She was surprised to see Shuang Yue and hurried to the sedan chair, whispering, "Why did my sister come here in person?"
Shuangyue asked her maid to deliver the gift, then called Panxi over. After whispering a few words to her, she left.
Pan Xi returned to Jin Fuyun and reported the truth. Jin Fuyun sneered after hearing it, "You want to cut off your relationship with me now, why didn't you cut off your relationship with me earlier when you took all my gold and silver treasures?"
I casually opened the gift sent by Xiao Yinxiu. It was exquisite and elegant, with paintings, calligraphy and jade. I really couldn't find anything wrong with it. Unfortunately -
Not worth the money.
Except for the first gift of porcelain, the subsequent gifts from Jin Fuyun were all filled with gold, silver and jewelry.
Where?
Does Xiao Yinxiu now think that gold and silver things are tacky?
Jin Fuyun left the words coldly. Pan Xi and Pan Lan did not dare to say anything. They stood by and listened to Jin Fuyun's instructions, "Has anyone from the manor outside the capital come to report the news?"
Panlan and Panxi looked at each other and shook their heads.
"Reply girl, there is no news yet."
"Didn't Brother Tian go to the farm to check it out? Why hasn't he come back yet?" She became more and more anxious. Yu Cheng was still nowhere to be seen. She sent a servant to go to the farm yesterday, but where is he now?
"Replying to the eldest lady, she has not come back yet."
The boy was clumsy and couldn't ride a horse, so it was troublesome to go back and forth. Jin Fuyun felt even more helpless. "Send a message to Liyang and ask them to transfer some more people."
The servants and guards in the mansion nowadays are either not caring or are the ones usually used by Jin Yunfan. Except for a few servants, they are all useless and can't do anything.
The staff brought by Yu Cheng were scattered in several shops in the capital, and it was difficult to gather them together now. Without Yu Cheng, she was not able to do her job well.
It was not until lunch that the servant came in breathlessly to answer the call. With his limited ability, it was impossible for him to answer the young lady in person.
But Jin Fuyun was too anxious.
He called her directly to the main room and asked, "Is everything okay in the farm?"
The servant lowered his head, not daring to look at the fairy-like girl, and answered in a mosquito-like voice, "Manager Yu is not in the manor."
what?
Jin Fuyun couldn't hear the gurgling sound coming out of her throat, and couldn't help but become anxious, "Why don't you make a louder noise? Can I eat you?"
This heavy shout frightened the servant so much that he knelt down in front of her with a plop. "Excuse me, young lady. I heard that Manager Yu seemed to be injured and is not at the manor."
"Where is that?"
Jin Fuyun immediately sat up straight and asked hurriedly. The servant hesitated for a long time and could not explain clearly, "Which street is it?"
The servant scratched his head and said, "I didn't hear it clearly. I think they were talking about Liujiazhuang..."
Jin Fuyun looked at Panlan and Panxi with doubt on her face. The two maids shook their heads and said, "Miss, I have never heard of this place. I don't know whether it is a village or an alley in the capital."
When I asked the 13 or 14-year-old boy again, he said, "Manager Yu said he is not a problem, so the young lady can just stay at home."
With these words, Jin Fuyun breathed a sigh of relief.
She asked Pan Xi to buy a few big coins to buy snacks for the servant, and then sent him out. The stone in her heart fell to the ground, and Jin Fuyun relaxed.
As long as Yu Cheng says it's okay, it won't be the worst.
Little did they know that Yu Cheng was in a state worse than death. He was hiding in a remote hut, completely dark without sunlight. He hadn't eaten for two days and was feeling hungry and in pain.
The blind eye was covered with blood scabs and had not been cleaned for several days. The hot weather caused severe ulcers inside.
Half his head ached.
He never thought that he would suffer such a great loss. Sanbing and Siding were heartbroken. He ran out, rode his horse into the forest in one go, and when he arrived at the farm, he left a message in a hurry and escaped again.
Because He Wenhan had already sent runners, as well as servants, handymen, and martial monks from the government office and Longen Temple to search all over the mountains.
He thought that he must not drag the young lady down, so he rode his horse and ran away, wanting to leave the capital. However, he was covered in wounds and his eye disease was taking a toll. When he reached the river, he could no longer hold on and fell off his horse.
A good-looking man picked him up, or rather he climbed onto the man's carriage.
When he woke up and made up a tragic story about his life, which almost moved the servant in front of the man, a trace of sneer appeared at the corner of the man's mouth.
"You said your name is Zhao Da?"
Yu Cheng said with great fear, "Thank you for saving me, benefactor. I am the eldest son of Zhao the Butcher in Liyang City. Everyone calls me Zhao Da——"
"Zhao Da? Of course I know you, the eldest lady's lover, Yu Cheng."
what?
