Chapter 474 The Tragic Death of a Concubine 7
As soon as the carriage started moving, the old Taoist immediately asked Ning Yan, "What does this Second Madam Ji mean by inviting us to go?"

"What else can it mean? They're sending us money.

You just need to remember one thing: one pill costs one thousand and two taels of silver, so you can buy as many as you want.

Moreover, no matter how many pills the Second Madam wants from you, you must insist that you don't have any ready-made pills. The medicinal materials are too expensive and you don't have money. You must ask her to pay half of the deposit. After paying the deposit, the medicine will be delivered in ten days."

"that's it?"

"That's it! Also, you can only give me ten fertility pills at most.

The maximum number of pills given for conditioning is ten."

The old Taoist nodded, "Okay, I'll listen to you."

When getting off the carriage, the old Taoist waited for a long time but didn't see his disciple getting off, so he asked hurriedly: "Why don't you get off?"

Ning Yan: "Just go in by yourself, you don't need to see a doctor anyway."

The old Taoist had no choice but to follow the servant in.

Ning Yan waited at the door for about half an hour, and the old Taoist finally came out.

You can tell that it's done by looking at his rosy face.

"Let's go. Madam, have someone take us back to the Taoist temple."

Seeing his heartless look, Ning Yan was really afraid that he would be sold out one day and have to help others count money.

It was obvious that they had paid a deposit and were afraid that he would run away, so they sent someone to send them home and find his lair.

However, I have made enough money today and will go back soon.

The horse's hooves clattered along for nearly an hour before stopping outside the Taoist temple.

After the master and disciple entered the Taoist temple, the carriage turned around and left.

As soon as she entered the Taoist temple, Ning Yan immediately reached out, "Hurry up, divide the spoils."

The Taoist priest took out the banknote helplessly, "She asked for eight pills of each type of medicine, and also paid a deposit of 8,000 yuan. Each of us will get half. After deducting the medicine fee, each person..."

Ning Yan directly took the banknote from his hand, counted out four thousand and put it in her pocket, "Why are you deducting the money for the medicine? I haven't even paid you for the prescription yet."

The Second Madam was too cowardly. She only asked for sixteen pills. If it were her, she would have bought out the prescription and done the business herself!
"How come you are even more greedy for money than me, a Taoist priest?"

Ning Yan: "How can I be greedy for money? It's obviously earned by my own ability, and I deserve what I get! Can it be that I should not take a penny and let you get it all?"

Old Daoist:  …

Forget it, if it weren’t for this girl, I would still be making a living in the city by telling fortunes and predicting dates.

Hehe, he made four thousand taels on this trip. He could buy a big house in the city and live the life of a landlord.

"Okay, stop being happy and go get something to eat. I haven't had a sip of tea since entering the city. I'm already hungry."

Old Daoist:  …

Although he is called an old Taoist priest, he is actually only in his thirties, which is the best age for a man in modern times, and he doesn't look old at all.

So Ning Yan didn't feel guilty at all when ordering people around, as this was how she had been doing for the past month anyway.

The old Taoist cooks quite quickly. Their meal was neither too bad nor too bad. It consisted of white rice, a steamed egg custard, and some stir-fried vegetables. It was one meat and one vegetable, but it tasted good. Ning Yan ate two big bowls.

The old Taoist priest had almost finished eating, so he couldn't help but ask, "Should we go to the city tomorrow?"

"Just stay in the temple and get your medicine. Why go to the city?"

There is definitely no need to make pills, as they are readily available. But for a business worth more than 10,000 taels of silver, doesn't it have to be a show?
"how about you?"

"I'm going to buy some meat. I'm tired of eating vegetarian food every day. I need a change of taste."

The autumn harvest is over and the weather is getting cooler day by day. It is a good time to eat meat.

The Taoist priest also had a desire to eat, so he said while eating, "That's fine." Ning Yan stretched out her hand and said, "Give me some silver."

The old Taoist suddenly looked bitter, "Look at you, you are a good girl, but you are a stingy person, you don't even want to spend a penny! I am so unlucky to have met you."

"Tsk! You're so unlucky - are you sure you didn't accumulate eight lifetimes of blessings?"

The old Taoist thought, that’s true, but I also feel really aggrieved!
Don’t open your mouth, you silly girl. As soon as you open your mouth you ask for money, money, money!

But he still obediently took out two taels of silver from his arms and placed it in Ning Yan's outstretched hand.

Ning Yan stared at the old Taoist with her hands open.

The old Taoist had no choice but to give him another ingot of five taels. He refused to give him anything else no matter what!
"Just to buy some meat, seven taels of silver is enough to buy a pig. If you want this meat again, I would rather not eat it."

Ning Yan couldn't stand his painful look, "Forget it, seeing how stingy you are, I can just give you some more!"

The old Taoist said: "What the hell, you just open your mouth!"

The old hen wandering around the yard seemed to agree with him and clucked a few times.

"This chicken has escaped again. Let's just stew it tomorrow. It should be delicious."

There are more than ten chickens in the chicken coop in the backyard, both male and female. There is an old hen that is particularly mischievous. From time to time, she flies out from the nest in the fence, runs into the yard to steal some vegetable leaves to eat, and then wanders around openly.

When the Taoist priest found it and threw it back, it ran out again not long after.

When the chicken heard Ning Yan wanted to stew it, it suddenly shrank its neck and ran away again after a while.

The old Taoist said: "You are really evil. Ever since you came here, all my chickens have been acting abnormal. It's like they can understand human language!"

Ning Yan: ...

……

Ji Mansion.

The main courtyard of the house.

The eldest lady was looking at Qiu'er kneeling on the ground with a gloomy face, "Did you give the medicine? Why is Cui still fine?"

Qiu Er was sweating profusely from anxiety. "Madam, I am sure that the drug was indeed given, and the Second Madam definitely did not notice anything unusual, but why she has not been disfigured yet, I don't know either."

The eldest lady was so angry that she wanted to beat Qiu'er to death with a stick for her incompetence, but she couldn't.

She also wants this girl to do things for her.

"Okay, get up now, and stop kneeling down all the time."

Qiu'er felt relieved and stood up quickly.

"Nothing has been going well lately. Second Master has seldom come here. Even the two children can't call him."

It’s not that rarely, but that the Second Master hasn’t slept with her for a long time.

At first she thought that the Second Master was alienated from her because of Cui's seduction.

Later, Cui was revealed to be pregnant. He would rather sleep in the study than be near her. She couldn't figure out what was wrong...

At this time, the maidservant beside the first lady came in and said, "Madam, I have found out that the Taoist priest who gave the second lady the fertility pill has been invited here today.

I don’t know what the two of them said, and they stayed for nearly half an hour before being sent away.”

The eldest lady frowned and said, "Second Master is particularly concerned about the child in Cui's belly, Mammy..."

"So what? The Ji family's fortune was earned by the eldest master, and both children are registered under the eldest master's name. The second master can't take away the eldest master's things.

Even if Cui gave birth to Second Master's child, it would not be of much use, as he would at most inherit Second Master's share."

The eldest lady knew that what the nanny said was right, but on what basis?
