Listening to her daughter's heartfelt words, the pregnant Lady Hou went on a killing spree.

The physician's eyelid twitched.

The child's reaction was too strange; he didn't like his stepmother, but preferred her older sister.

Physician Li sat down to take the child's pulse, but his diagnosis left him puzzled.

The child only had diarrhea and was exhausted, but yesterday he heard that more than a dozen doctors had already been called to see him.

It's impossible that most of the doctors in the capital couldn't understand such a minor case of diarrhea, so there can only be one reason.

Physician Li didn't want to get involved in other people's family affairs, since the other person had already come.

"It's alright, I'll write a prescription for the young lady to take a few doses later, and she'll be better in a few days."

The physician from the Li family went to write a prescription, but Zhiyi didn't stay behind.

Inside the room, Lin Tianci chased the two maids out.

"Brother, I've been sick and Father hasn't come back, and Aunt hasn't come to see me either. Do they not want us anymore?"

"Nonsense, Father went out of town to handle a case. Didn't Steward Zhao say that he would be back when Aunt gets married?"

"Where is Aunt? Why doesn't Aunt come to visit us?"

"It's definitely not convenient for her to come see us. If it were convenient, why wouldn't my aunt come?"

"Brother, should I still take that medicine?"

Looking at his younger sister's pale face, Lin Tianci felt a little sorry for her.

"I'm not eating anymore. You're sick and that wicked woman hasn't even come to see us once. She definitely won't care about us in the future."

"Little sister, remember this: when we grow up, we will never let that wicked woman take care of us in our old age."

"Yes, brother, don't worry, I will definitely not support that wicked woman in her old age."

The conversation between the two children reached the ears of the maid outside the door, and soon it reached Ji Yueru's ears.

Actually, she had known all along that Lin Wanwan was faking it, but so what? She was the one who suffered, and she didn't lose anything.

[Mother, Lin Wanwan is really stupid. She actually came up with the idea of ​​getting sick so you would take care of her. How naive of her!]

"Let's not talk about her. Let's see if the painted boat that your mother drew suits your taste. If it does, your mother will find someone to start making it."

Now that the two ungrateful children no longer affected her mood, the mother and daughter studied the blueprints again, making revisions and finally finalizing the design of the pleasure boat.

That's it. I can already imagine how beautiful the painted boat will be once it's built.

"Mother, I'll listen to you. I'll send someone to find a craftsman to make it."

"Madam, everything you asked us to buy has been purchased."

Shuyi entered the room, puzzled as to why the lady wanted someone to buy offerings for the dead.

Ji Yueru came to the table and wrote a note, following An'an's dictation, including Ji Qianqian's birth date and name.

"Put this piece of paper inside and have someone take it to the east side of Yingyue Lake to burn it."

"Yes, madam."

Without even asking what the letter meant, he immediately went to make the arrangements.

As soon as the person left, Zhiyi hurriedly entered the house with an invitation in her hand.

"Madam, I just went out to see off Physician Li and happened to run into someone from the palace."

"They said the Empress will be hosting a banquet in the palace in three days, and you, Madam, must attend."

"An'an, I don't quite remember. Could you help me recall if the Empress held any palace banquets during this period in her previous life?"

It seems not.

"Then what exactly is the reason?"

[By the way, Mother, it must be because Consort De recently recognized her daughter and wanted the people of the capital to know about Princess Chang'an, so she organized the palace banquet.]

"It should be."

"Zhiyi, go and make preparations. You and Shuyi will come to the palace with me for a banquet in three days."

Since we can't avoid it, we have to be fully prepared.

It seems she has offended quite a few people. She just hopes those people won't cause any trouble at this palace banquet. If they dare to hurt her precious daughter, she will definitely not let them off the hook.

"Yes, madam."

Just now, I overheard the steward who went to make purchases say that yesterday, the young master of the Marquis of Wuwei's mansion was trying to save Miss Feng and is still unconscious.

Even several imperial physicians from the palace have been summoned, so it seems there's a risk of complications.

Many people outside are spreading rumors that the Feng family is ungrateful, that Young Master Lu became like this because he saved Miss Feng, and that not a single member of the Feng family came to thank him.

Madam, those people know nothing. We were the ones who saved Miss Feng. What does she have to do with Young Master Lu?

Besides, the young master Lu had just jumped into the water when the girl was rescued by the strong wind yesterday. Who can we blame for his blindness?

If you ask me, he didn't actually jump into the water to save Miss Feng. He probably just accidentally fell in and is now trying to pin the blame on her.

She remembered that in her previous life, after Young Master Lu was pulled from the water, he also fell seriously ill.

Many people witnessed Feng Da's rescue by him. The Feng family could not withstand the pressure and reluctantly married their Mingyue off to a sickly man.

But things are different now. Because of her intervention, things have taken a turn for the better. The Feng family will definitely not stand idly by and watch the rumors spread. I estimate that the Feng family will come to our door in a big way in the next two days.

"That little girl has quite a temper. Miss Feng is so smart, don't worry about her, worry about yourself first."

"Madam, what do I need to worry about?"

Zhiyi looked completely bewildered; she genuinely had no idea.

"Qingning is already married and about to have a child. You're the same age as her, shouldn't you be worried about your own marriage?"

"Oh, madam, I'm not talking to you anymore."

Zhiyi turned and ran away in embarrassment, which made Ji Yueru laugh incessantly behind her, and An'an's laughter could be heard all around her.

I never expected Zhiyi to be shy. I thought she was fearless.

"You think everyone's like you? You're incredibly bold."

[Don't you think it's a good thing that I'm brave, Mother?]

"Okay, you're good in every way. Your mother never said you were bad."

Mo Wen returned in the evening and the first thing he did upon his return was to see Ji Yueru.

"Your subordinate greets Madam."

"It's good that you're back. You don't need to worry about the Ji family anymore."

"Yes, madam."

As for the Ji family, ever since she left Mo Wen there last time, the entire Ji family has been in complete chaos.

Chen asked Mo Wen to buy a group of people from outside the mansion, and it must be said that Mo Wen was exceptionally fast at getting things done.

In just one day, Chen bought up all sorts of talented people who were skilled in literature, martial arts, and household management, and directly put them to the test in the mansion, competing with Ji Xian and Aunt Qiu.

Every day, someone from the Ji family would bring the news back to the mansion, which Zhiyi would then tell the mother and daughter as if it were a joke.

Hearing the chaos and commotion at the Ji residence, the mother and daughter felt much better.

Indeed, the decision to leave Mo Wen behind to help was absolutely correct.

"Madam, Young Master Jiang Bai requests an audience."

It's almost late at night, everyone should be resting, why is Prince Shun here?

Even if someone comes, you can't refuse to see them.

"Let him in."

Xiao Ce entered the room and bowed, and Ji Yueru quickly got up to return the bow.

"Thank you for saving me, Madam. My injuries have almost healed, and I plan to take my leave tonight."

[He was finally leaving, and even his mother felt uneasy in the courtyard.]
