Thrown out of the house, the wet nurse enters the noble household and becomes a person of high statu

Before coming to the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion, Liu Wenying took the opportunity to consult Doctor Ye.

She slowly recited the recipe and dosage of the decoction.

Su Xin quickly grabbed a pen and paper and wrote everything down without missing a single word. She then asked about some important points before finally putting the pen and paper away, satisfied.

"Miss Liu is so thoughtful. I'll take the prescription to the family physician first. If there's nothing wrong, then I'll use it on the old lady."

Liu Wenying understood that it wasn't that they didn't believe her, but simply that it was the right procedure to follow.

The next day at dawn, Liu Wenying got up and washed herself.

As soon as they arrived at Old Madam Yu's residence, Su Xin entered carrying a bowl of herbal medicine.

Su Xin placed the medicine on the table and said with a smile to Old Madam Yu:

"This is the prescription that Miss Liu gave me yesterday. I had the kitchen prepare it this morning. The physician examined it and said the prescription is safe and there are no problems."

Her words were, firstly, to praise Liu Wenying and highlight her meticulousness and competence.

Secondly, it also subtly indicates that if there are any problems with the medicine, it is Liu Wenying's responsibility and has nothing to do with others.

Suffering from headaches for years, Old Madam Yu has drunk more medicine than water, and is long tired of it.

But it's worth a try with a new recipe.

She picked up the medicine bowl, brought it to her lips, and was about to drink it.

"Please wait, Madam."

Everyone was taken aback and looked at Liu Wenying.

Su Xin frowned. "What does Miss Liu mean by this?"

Liu Wenying lowered her head and said, "When I served in the Yuguo Duke's Mansion, I always checked the medicine residue before letting Old Madam Pei put anything in her mouth. I was extremely careful."

In fact, she remembered Pei Dingxuan's warning from yesterday, which made her take precautions.

If anyone uses her to harm Old Madam Yu, she will have no way of explaining herself.

She was the one who prescribed the herbal medicine, so if anything goes wrong, she will be the first one to take responsibility.

Old Madam Yu also thought it made sense, so she asked Su Xin to take Liu Wenying to the small kitchen to examine the dregs of the medicine.

The small kitchen was filled with the smell of medicine, and the dregs of medicine simmering on the stove were about to be thrown away.

"Hey, don't pour it out yet. This is Miss Liu from the Duke of Yu's mansion. She wants to see the dregs of the medicine."

The maid who prepared the medicine was a girl with a round face surnamed Zhou. She knew a little about medicine and usually helped look after the servants in the mansion when they had a headache or fever.

Zhou Fu poured out the dregs of the medicine and spread them on a clean gauze.

Liu Wenying carefully parted the pieces, identifying them one by one.

After a moment, she said, "This medicine is wrong; it's not the same as the prescription I gave you yesterday."

Su Xin exclaimed in surprise, "What? Someone switched the dressing without my permission?"

Zhou Fu retorted, "Impossible! I decocted it exactly according to the recipe that was delivered, and I didn't omit a single herb. How could it be wrong?"

She was, after all, a member of the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion, in charge of preparing the old lady's medicine, and she also understood pharmacology, so the people around her naturally preferred to believe her.

Liu Wenying wasn't in a hurry. She placed a small pinch of medicine residue in her palm and held it up in front of her.

"What is this?"

Zhou Fu took a closer look and immediately recognized it as "Poria cocos."

"This is white poria, but the prescription I gave you says it's cloud poria."

"Aren't they all Poria cocos?" Zhou Fu said dismissively.

Another maidservant who was on good terms with her, but had a fiery temper, chimed in to her.

"That's right! We've been living in this mansion for so many years, it's not up to an outsider to tell us what to do."

Liu Wenying said calmly, "You don't seem to understand yet, and I don't mind explaining it clearly."

"First of all, I personally confirmed the old lady's prescription with Miss Suxin."

"You dare to replace her without permission? Are you disregarding Miss Suxin's words, or are you disregarding the old lady's health?"

The two maids' expressions changed.

Su Xin was a close attendant of Old Madam Yu; who in the mansion would dare disobey her orders? If they were to be accused, they wouldn't be able to cover it up.

"But...this..."

Liu Wenying did not give them a chance to argue.

"Secondly, I want Poria cocos, which is neutral in nature and sweet in taste. It can calm the mind and strengthen the spleen, and is suitable for the old lady's headache."

White Poria cocos is ultimately not as good as cloud-grown Poria cocos; it is not suitable for long-term conditioning and can easily backfire.

She paused, looked at the other person, and said clearly, "You're either a half-baked expert making a lot of noise, or you're doing this on purpose."

"If you don't understand, then you are not worthy to serve the old lady. If you did it on purpose, then we should investigate what your intentions are."

The two people opposite did not expect that the people from the Duke of Yu's mansion were not to be trifled with, nor were they just ordinary people who acted arrogantly, but rather people who had reason and evidence.

Zhou Fu swallowed hard, eager to explain, "No, no, I didn't mean to, really not."

The maid who tended the fire had lost her earlier arrogance, and her lips trembled.

Seeing this, Su Xin was about to step in and smooth things over.

"Miss Suxin, I know your feelings, but I'm not making a mountain out of a molehill today."

Liu Wenying took her hand.

"I was seconded here by the Old Madam, and I cannot afford to be careless in the slightest. If I let these two maids off lightly today, there will inevitably be others who will dare to neglect the Old Madam's care in the future. If something goes wrong then, who will be able to take responsibility?"

A crowd had already gathered at the entrance of the small kitchen, peering inside with curious eyes.

Liu Wenying's voice was neither too loud nor too soft, so that people outside could hear it clearly.

She emphasized the seriousness of the matter, and Su Xin dared not dodge the question any longer.

"Miss Liu is right. This matter cannot be let off lightly. Men, take them out and expel them from the Old Madam's courtyard. They are not to come near her again."

As the two maids were dragged away, they cried and sobbed, one crying out for justice and the other begging for mercy, their voices fading into the distance.

The other onlookers exchanged glances, their gazes towards Liu Wenying now filled with a sense of awe.

Su Xin turned around and said to Liu Wenying, "Miss Liu is so meticulous. If it weren't for you, I don't know what would have happened if the old lady had actually drunk the medicine that had gone wrong today."

"It is my duty, and I dare not be careless. Miss Liu sounds too unfamiliar, so please just call me Wenying from now on."

In today's matter, Liu Wenying was indeed using the opportunity to make a fuss.

When you first arrive, you need to establish your authority so that things will be easier to do later.

I brewed another bowl of herbal medicine, this time using Poria cocos.

After carefully checking and confirming that everything was correct, Liu Wenying had Su Xin take it to Old Madam Yu.

Grandma Yu leaned back in her armchair, took the medicine bowl, and slowly drank it all.

Su Xin also told everyone about the small kitchen.

"This girl has some good skills. Madam Pei is truly blessed to have such a wonderful person by her side. No wonder she was initially unwilling to lend her to me for a few days."

Old Madam Yu put down the medicine bowl and looked out the window.

The osmanthus trees in the courtyard were in full bloom, their fragrance wafting through the air.

"From now on, the prescriptions she gives you don't need to be examined by the family physician anymore; you can use them directly."

As night deepened, when Liu Wenying returned to her residence, two maids who were responsible for looking after Luoluo were playing with her on the couch.

The little one giggled, his eyes crinkling with laughter, exuding innocence and carefree joy.

"The girl is back."

The maids quickly rose and bowed.

Liu Wenying told them not to stand on ceremony, and quickly stepped forward to hug Luoluo.

The little one took the opportunity to hug her neck, kissed her on the cheek, and said in a soft, sweet voice, "Mommy, Luo Luo misses you."
