”I'm just asking a bit more in detail, in case I missed out on something. But I don't have any evidence to support that. Big Sis, please don't make fun of me.” Xie Jingxi laughed, then asked the wet nurse, ”Does the medicine that the wet nurse drinks usually have someone sending it to her?”

”It was cooked in the medicine house. As usual, there's nothing out of the ordinary about it.”

”There's nothing abnormal about it.” Xie Jingxi held Xie Jingyi's hand, ”Elder sister, do you have anything else to ask?”

Xie Jingyi smiled, ”I've already asked you everything I need to ask, what else do I have to ask?”

Xie Jingyi was smart enough from start to finish, and since Xie Jingxi didn't say anything, she didn't ask. She only instructed Xiang Lan not to speak about the matter, and sent them away.

As for Ming Yu, she took advantage of Second Young Mistress's trouble just now to come to the front of Eldest Young Master Gu Yun's courtyard. Gu Yun's courtyard was different from other places. His courtyard was a little far away from the main courtyard, and could even be considered as a separate courtyard, but it was only surrounded by walls made of Marquis Mansion. However, there was another small door that led out of the residence.

Ming Yu came here last night as she was familiar with the route, the moment she appeared, someone reported to Gu Yun, and when Ming Yu arrived, Zhao Zhang who was beside her already came out, ”It's Miss Ming Yu, your grandpa is currently using the medicinal wine, the wine that young lady sent over is really useful, it was only used once last night, today this grandpa has stopped burning, I was just about to go and thank you young ladies, why did Miss Ming Yu come over?”

Zhao Zhang smiled and replied, ”Nothing much, this is our young miss was with the Second Young Madam and told me to come over and take a look at how Eldest Young Master is doing.”

”Third Miss is kind, our young master is doing well.”

”That's great. Yesterday, I was really lucky to have Eldest Young Master, and it only caused Eldest Young Master's illness. Our young miss is very sorry, but fortunately, all the Imperial Physician were there yesterday, so it's easy to take a look.”

”That's right, His Majesty is a merciful man, I actually sent half of the Imperial Physician s over here yesterday with the Marquis Mansion. So it's for that big brother, our master is also basked in the glory, normally we are the ones who treat ourselves, yesterday it was our family's medicine shop that made the medicine and sent it over, but it's still all thanks to Third Miss's medicinal wine, or else it would have been so quick.”

Ming Yu said again: It's precisely this medicinal wine, the anxiously delivered by us ladies yesterday, I didn't think too much about it. When I thought about it later, this medicinal wine's formula is very complicated, I think it might clash with the medicine used by the young master, so I came over today to see if there was any medicinal soup left over from yesterday. I brought some back for the young lady to see, so she can be at ease with giving it to the young master.

Zhao Zhang said in surprise, ”There's actually such a reason? ”You have to take a look. Just you wait, young lady. There are still some leftovers from the medicinal soup that I drank this morning. I'll go get it for young lady now.”

Zhao Zhang then went to get the medicinal dregs. Ming Yu secretly heaved a sigh of relief, thinking to himself, What kind of medicine is this lady trying to sell, to give me a bottle of wine and send me all these stories. I never heard that the medicinal wine and medicine could clash.

Zhao Zhang ran over to get the medicinal dregs, wrapped them up in a handkerchief, and gave them to Ming Yu. Ming Yu said apologetically: ”It's really my young lady's fault for not thinking too much and causing trouble for Eldest Young Master. Actually, it should be alright, Eldest Young Master doesn't have to worry, it's just that you can rest assured.”

”It's alright, our grandpa used the medicinal wine very well, thank you Third Miss.”

Ming Yu said a few more words before leaving with the dregs in her arms. Zhao Zhang watched Ming Yu leave the courtyard with his eyes, and then turned to return to Gu Yun's study. At this time, Gu Yun was wearing his usual long sleeves and was reading and writing in his study room. Seeing Zhao Zhang enter, he did not even raise his head, ”Is this girl here to ask about medicine?”

Zhao Zhang was startled, the master of his house was truly a god, ”Your guess is correct, I do not know what the Third Miss is up to, what is he talking about, he said that he was afraid that the medicinal wine he sent yesterday would clash with the herbs, and that he would take some of the medicinal dregs that he brought yesterday, I still have not figured it out, this matter still has something to do with us.”

Gu Yun put down his pen and sat down at the table. The medicinal wine that Xie Jingxi brought yesterday was placed neatly on the table. He took a glance and smiled: ”How is the disturbance in Second Young Master's house?”

I heard that Second Young Mistress had gone crazy, and almost pulled Fourth Miss out of her slumber. It was the young mistress of Lu Family who intervened to stop the matter, and so the Second House only stopped now. I also heard that Young Mistress Lu had called out Big Brother's wet nurse, and asked for something.

Gu Yun was deep in thought. Of course he would not drink the medicine sent over by the medicine house, or else where would he leave medicinal dregs for Xie Jingxi. This little girl must have figured out the crux of the matter already, so she pretended to understand and let the people from Xie Family be confused.

”I'm afraid we've been tricked for no reason at all.” Gu Yun sneered, ”Then do we still have dregs of the medicine?”
