My younger sister insisted on marrying me and made me the Marquis' wife.

Chapter 181 The Ungrateful Servant

Seeing her like this, Qin Yuan knew what Doctor Li said, but she was afraid that Madam Gu Liu would not believe it.

Doctor Li, who was tactless, said, "If Madam were a man, she could go to high places to see the distant view, go boating and climb mountains. Being a woman, there are some restrictions. However, the mansion is large and has many beautiful views. It's good to go around more often. Nowadays, people are more open-minded. Many women from ordinary families also form associations to go out and play together. Some even form teams to go to Wudang Mountain to worship Buddha."

Zhao Ma was shocked and said, "The Marquis's Mansion is not a small family, so how can you be so casual? You can only go out to the streets and walk around the courtyard more often. During festivals, you can also go to temples and Taoist temples to play, go outings and enjoy the snow, but you have to get along with the other masters in the mansion. It's not good to just go out and play by yourself."

As soon as I go out, there is a lot of fuss and I have to run around to settle the whole family, so I lose interest in it.

The two of them were talking animatedly, and Madam Gu Liu said nothing as Doctor Li wrote the prescription. Then she said calmly, "Thank you, Doctor Li."

Doctor Li had just talked to Qin Yuan about epidemic prevention methods for a while, and was greatly inspired. He said, "I will check on the other people in the courtyard one by one. In addition, the clothes of those who have had close contact with the patients must be boiled with medicine. You must not slack off. Don't let the young masters get better while others get sick again. If they linger for a long time, their vitality will be greatly damaged and their bodies will be broken."

Madam Gu Liu said, "Since Doctor Li said so, I'll trouble you."

Madam Zhao quickly gathered all the maids and old women in the yard together and placed a table in the yard for Doctor Li to facilitate his consultation.

Xiaodong and Qin Yuan stood aside to keep them company.

Qin Yuan was watching Doctor Li taking her pulse and diagnosing her when she felt someone pulling her sleeve. She thought it was Xiaodong who wanted to say something, but when she turned around, she saw it was Nanny Zhao.

Qin Yuan: “?”

Aunt Zhao whispered, "Come with me for a moment."

Qin Yuan: “…”

Seeing that she didn't move, Nanny Zhao was a little unhappy. She took advantage of her seniority and said, "Sixth Madam wants to ask you something. You'd better be sensible and speak nicely."

Qin Yuan wanted to cover his face with his sleeves and escape by using some earth-moving magic.

When Madam Zhao saw that the boy was ignorant, she became angry.

Xiaodong at the side said, "Mammy, my master seems to want to ask you something important."

Nanny Zhao left with a gloomy face. Before leaving, she glared at Qin Yuan fiercely and muttered something. Although it was not clear, it could be guessed that she was scolding her.

Qin Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, but staying like this was not a solution.

Nanny Zhao had this idea in mind and took the opportunity to ask her about things in the mansion.

Xiaodong said, "Big brother, please go and get the medicine that my master prepared. It's in the room and another big brother is watching over it. My master prepared the medicine yesterday. If you take it, it can prevent the disease."

Qin Yuan nodded.

Doctor Li glanced over here and was still giving instructions to Madam Zhao, asking her to burn all the clothes the two young ladies had used and replace them with clean ones. He also asked about some other trivial matters.

By the time Nanny Zhao had time to show up, the person had already disappeared.

Xiaodong patted his head, as if he suddenly remembered something, and said, "Master, did you put the prepared medicine in the medicine box?"

Doctor Li said, "Yes."

Xiaodong cried out in annoyance: "Oh, I remembered it wrongly. The master didn't even tell me when he installed it. I even asked that big brother to help me get the medicine. I don't know how long it took to go back and forth. Let's divide the pills quickly and chase him away." Doctor Li complained: "You little fool."

The two of them answered in unison and gave each of them a pill, saying that if taken with water half an hour after a meal, it would strengthen the body, eliminate toxins and dampness, and prevent epidemics.

Everyone received it.

Doctor Li took Xiaodong to say goodbye. Nanny Zhao sent a little maid to escort them out of the courtyard. She went to talk to Madam Gu Liu and said, "The boy who came with them is so stupid and ignorant. I don't know whose child he is."

Madam Gu Liu asked, "Didn't find out anything?"

Madam Zhao shook her head and said, "I didn't have time. He looked like he couldn't even get a fart out of me even if I called him over to talk. I will try to find out anything when someone brings the medicine."

Madam Gu Liu said, "That's the only way. That boy looks familiar to me, but I can't remember where I've seen him before."

Madam Zhao said, "He looks a bit like him. He might have served the Marquis in the past. I don't know when I saw him before, but he looks a bit familiar to me."

Madam Gu Liu was too lazy to bother with a servant, so she said, "Maybe."

Madam Zhao said, "It seems to me that Doctor Li is quite capable. Aunt Huang said that Sister Qin looks much better now. Let's wait until the medicine is ready and then we'll see."

Mrs. Gu Liu said nothing.

Madam Zhao added, "If the young masters are all getting better, then Madam, you must take Doctor Li's words to heart and don't ruin your health. As the saying goes, if you have green mountains, you will never run out of firewood. Madam, relax for now and take care of your health."

Madam Gu Liu sneered, "No wonder Master Liu has so many children, but he is still so popular. It turns out that he has become more open-minded day by day."

Hearing this tone, Nanny Zhao thought to herself that it seemed that the Sixth Madam was harboring resentment towards the Sixth Master.

She couldn't say anything more, so she changed the subject and said, "I heard from Doctor Li that now women can also go on trips together to enjoy the mountains and rivers. In the past, it was something that only men could do. In the future, Madam should also go out more often."

Madam Gu Liu asked, "Do we need to go boating together, write poetry and pick up prostitutes?"

Nanny Zhao remained silent.

Madam Gu Liu said slowly, "Let's see what Doctor Li is capable of. What he said might be a plot by my good sister-in-law to kill her. Haven't you heard that they have a relationship? Otherwise, why would the Marquis give a thousand taels of silver to an unknown clinic?"

Aunt Zhao had never expected this. She was stunned when she heard this and asked, "Then... will the young lady still take his medicine?"

Madam Gu Liu said, "This is a matter of life and death, and he made such a big promise, so I think he won't dare to make any mistakes. But, I..."

But she would never believe the nonsense of Doctor Li and put all these things aside to cultivate her character.

Zhao Ma Ma hesitated and said, "Madam has indeed lost a lot of weight, and what he said is very appropriate. Why don't you try his medicine first? As for the rest, it's better not to listen. When we get back home, we will go and ask the imperial physician to come and see us."

Madam Gu Liu said, "Let's wait and see."

Nanny Zhao didn't dare to persuade her anymore. Madam Gu Liu was already very suspicious and had once tripped Qin Yuan up, so it was inevitable that she would think too much.
