After leaving the palace, Zhou Ying reminded Granny Liu as they boarded the carriage, “Granny Liu, if someone has a weak stomach, they might get diarrhea after eating spicy hotpot. You must call the doctor in time if this happens.”
“The Empress Dowager knows about this. There are imperial physicians specially prepared for this occasion.”
“Great. See you soon.”
“Alright, let’s talk again when there’s a chance.” Granny Liu waved her hand and asked the coachman to send them back.
When they reached home, Zhou Ying gave the two women two taels of money and said, “Great performance today.”
“Thank you for your reward, Madam.” After the two of them received the silver, they thanked her and left.
Zhou Ying asked Kuihua to make a cup of tea for her, then leaned back on her chair and closed her eyes to rest.
On the other hand, Yang Wanyu waited until the afternoon, when the officials returned to the palace. She brought Yang Chengsen, who had been whining about hunger, back home after realizing the First Prince wouldn’t be there.
When she found out Yang Wanning and her brother weren’t around, she thought they were also out looking for help, so she ignored them. After dinner, she simply went back to her courtyard to rest.
As for Yang Chengsen, he had secretly gone to Prince Hui’s residence. However, Prince Hui had gone out to avoid them after they left in the afternoon, so he had once again missed him.
He wanted to rush in immediately because he was extremely furious about this, but the guards dragged him out like a chicken.
In the evening, Zhou Ying was processing the mutton while Yang Wanning and her brother, whose eyes were swollen like peaches, walked in with a white-haired, skinny woman.
She paused for a moment before standing up. She asked, “She is…?”
“Cousin Sister-in-law, this is Mrs. Sun, one of my mother’s dowry maids. We came here to discuss something with you.” Yang Wanning said.
As soon as she finished speaking, Mrs. Sun immediately bowed to Zhou Ying and said, “Greetings, Third Young Mistress.”
“Mrs. Sun, you’re too polite. Please, get up.” After Zhou Ying Xu helped her up, she looked at the red and swollen eyes of the siblings and knew it was something major. She asked, “Have you two eaten yet?”
“Yes, let’s have dinner tonight also.” Yang Wanning suggested.
“Alright, you guys go wash your faces with Shizhu. Have a cup of tea and rest while I get these mutton skewers ready.”
“Thank you. I’ll come back to help you later.” Yang Wanning then followed Shizhu back to the house.
Meanwhile, Zhou Ying and Haitang continued to get those skewers ready.
In the evening, Gu Chengrui rushed back with Zhou Huaiming. When he saw the skewers, Zhou Huaiming exclaimed in surprise, “What a surprise!
“It looks like I’m in luck today.”
“Eat more later, then.” Zhou Ying smiled.
She turned to Gu Chengrui and said, “Oh right, Wanning and her brother are here. Go and greet them. We’ll start grilling these skewers when the charcoal is lit.”
“Sure. I’ll stay behind and help you roast these skewers. You know how good my skills are.”
“Hahaha, as long as you don’t burn it, it’s all good.” Zhou Ying smiled.
Gu Chengrui smiled and walked straight into the house.
Seeing Gu Chengrui enter, Yang Wanning introduced Mrs. Sun to him.
Mrs. Sun walked over and knelt. She choked, “Third Young Master, you have to stand up for Madam. She died an unjust death.”
“Please, get up. There are guests. If there’s anything you need my help for, let’s talk after dinner.” Gu Chengrui helped her up.
At the same time, he felt her pulse and was shocked. “Do you have stomach problems?”
“Yes, I’ve been starving intermittently over the past few years, so my stomach has developed some problems.”
“You have to take better care of yourself. I’ll prescribe you a few prescriptions later.”
“Thank you, Third Young Master..”
