ring, the better.But when he was about to leave, Zhang Shenyi changed his mind."I'm an old man, I can't take any more trouble. You all go ahead. I'll stay here and go to Zhoushu Mansion with the Li fa...After all, Jia Yin didn't want her family to worry so much, so she said, "Mother, don't worry, a fox will always show its tail one day."

"I've feigned illness and dispelled the rumors. If it truly is a scheme by the royal family, they will surely have more tricks up their sleeves. Let's just wait and see; we'll meet force with force and water with earth."

Everyone is unable, and can only do this.

After some more casual chatter, everyone went back to rest.

Early the next morning, Li Lao San returned to Luo'an, taking Wen Juan and her child with him, along with Li Ge'er and Guo Wenhao.

Since there was nothing to do at home, Li Ge and Wen Hao should go back to the academy early to study.

In autumn, they too would have to take the imperial examination.

Don't worry about whether or not you have a chance, just give it a try.

If you don't get in, consider it experience.

Then, some young girls who had a similar voice and were good friends with her sent people to bring things and visit.

This includes Xu Xi and Mei Lan.

They were originally planning to come in person, but their family wouldn't allow it.

So, they could only have their maids bring over a lot of food and even new illustrated books from the bookstore, hoping to entertain Jia Yin.

Jia Yin let Shui Ling pick some fresh fruit as a gift.

After another two or three days, the front of Li's house finally quieted down, and everyone let out a sigh of relief.

Wan'er accompanied Li Laotai as they sat under the eaves, doing needlework. Tao Honying and Zhao Yuru were busy in the kitchen, planning to make some glutinous rice cool cakes.

Yuèyá'er was wearing a bright red sleeveless top and gauze pants, running all over the courtyard, her forehead covered in sweat.

Qiong's mother wanted to take her under the eaves for a cool respite, but the little girl's legs were moving too fast, she couldn't catch up.

Qiong's daughter had no choice but to give up and wait for her mistress to come back. The little girl clung to her mother and naturally wouldn't run off.

Li Laotai, looking at the lively Yueyaer, thought of her granddaughter and asked Wan'er, "What is your younger sister doing"

Wan'er smiled and said, “Perhaps I read too many storybooks last night, I’m still lazy in bed now.”

Li Lao Tai couldn't help but chuckle, "This girl is really something else. These days, she just eats and sleeps, sleeps and eats."

"If this continues, I'm afraid even feigning illness won't work. After all, who's ever heard of a patient getting fat instead of skinny"

Everyone burst into laughter. Just as Wan'er was about to speak, a carriage arrived at the courtyard gate.

Soon, Grandma He came in to report.

"Madam, a woman claiming to be Mrs. Wei from Wei County has come to visit."

Mrs. Wei

Everyone was puzzled because there were no one surnamed Wei moving in and out of the house.

Li Laotai said, “Please come in. What can I do for you”

Then Grandma He turned her head and quickly led in a middle-aged woman wearing a deep blue dress.

The woman was of average height and slightly plump. Her appearance was unremarkable, but her clothes were neat and clean, suggesting that she wasn't from a poor family.

But as she walked in from the door, she didn't lower her head politely. Her eyes darted around, taking in every detail of the Li family's courtyard.

Everyone frowned involuntarily, their expressions showing a touch of displeasure.

Then Li Laotai instructed Juan'er, "Take Yueyager to the room and have some fruit."

Wan'er quickly got up and called her maid, Chunxiu, to carry Yueya'er into the room.

Joan stood behind Old Mrs. Li, on guard against any ill intentions from the approaching person.

Zhao Yuru heard the noise in the kitchen and told Tao Hongying, who also came out to accompany her mother-in-law to receive guests.

The woman surnamed Wei walked down the steps, bowed respectfully, and smiled politely on her face.

"Miss March, I humbly approach you. Please forgive my intrusion."

Li Laotai raised her hand and said, "Guests who come to visit should not be polite, Madam Wei. Please sit down and have some tea."

Qiong's wife moved a stool, three steps away from Lao Tai Li and put it down.

Mrs. Wei bowed and took her seat, then introduced herself again.

Her husband was the younger brother of the magistrate of Wei County and also a clerk at the county office. Although he was not ranked, he was still considered a government employee.

While Wei County is just seventy or eighty miles outside of Xindu, it's not that far away.

However, it is unknown what this county magistrate's sister-in-law suddenly came to the door for.

Lao Li guessed she might be a fortune teller, after all, the previous doctors who had visited were helpless.

The Lee family said to the outside world that Jia Yin only fell seriously ill after being frightened.

Now that doctors are useless, fortune tellers come running to join in the commotion, hoping to take advantage of the situation.

Then, she accompanied Mrs. Wei to drink tea and chatted idly for a while.

Mrs. Wei glanced at the Li family seated before her, and finally got to the point, asking, “Elder Madam, I heard that your eldest daughter is ill. How is she doing recently Has there been any improvement”

Li Laotai still thought she had guessed right, feeling more confident in her heart.

Then, she pulled out her handkerchief and dabbed at the corners of her eyes, her eyes immediately reddening.

The county princess's illness is still grave, she is still under treatment.

A knowing look flashed across Mrs. Wei's face. Seeing Zhao Yuru and Qiongshi along with others lowering their heads to wipe away tears, that knowing look transformed into joy.

"The Little Women once went into the city and saw a notice posted at a wealthy mansion offering a reward of one thousand taels. Could it be that no renowned physician has been summoned to treat the County Princess"

"Of course there are doctors, but none have been able to diagnose the county princess's illness." Zhao Yuru chimed in, shaking her head and sighing, putting on a sorrowful expression.

Mrs. Wei also sighed in sympathy and tentatively asked, “Can't we do something about it”

Lao Li was impatient with her chattering and asked back, "Madam Wei, is your visit today because you have a good doctor to recommend"

"If you have any means, Madam Wei, please speak frankly. As long as the young mistress can be cured, our Li family will surely offer a generous reward!"

Mrs. Wei coughed softly, took a sip of tea, and then said, "To be frank with you, Granny, I do have a way. If you don't mind, I can share it with you."

"Alright, you said it. What's the method" Li Laotai was even more certain that this Wei Fu-ren was a sorceress.

Mrs. Wei whispered, “I wonder if Grandmother has ever heard of…a rush marriage”

Wedding Night!

Grandma Li didn't react immediately and instinctively asked, "Rush joy Rush what joy"

Lady Wei explained carefully.

"It's about getting married, using joy to dispel illness. The county princess is gravely ill now and her life is at its end. The doctors have no cure, so why not consider other options Perhaps there's a miracle cure out there."

"Impossible, the County Princess is only ten years old, how can she possibly get married!" Li Laotai's face was extremely bad as she directly refused.

She thought this person was just going to hold a ceremony or something, never expecting it to be for rushing into marriage.

Feigning illness is a temporary solution; how could you possibly gamble your granddaughter's lifelong happiness on it!

Lady Wei, perhaps expecting such opposition, quickly soothed Old Madam Li.

"Grandmother, let me tell you, this is a good thing! There was a scholar in our hometown who fell seriously ill and nothing helped.

Later, his family arranged for him to marry a beautiful wife. Within half a month, he recovered! It seems that the practice of "chongxi" (marrying for healing) actually works.

And this time, the marriage proposal I have for the county princess is from the eldest son of the Chen family, a wealthy household in our county. He has been frail since childhood and often takes medicine, but he is gentle and well-mannered, filial and sensible—a fine young man indeed.

"These past few days, Young Master Chen seemed a bit unwell. The Chen family dotes on their eldest grandson and wanted him to marry soon."

"I just heard that the young mistress of your household is seriously ill. The Chen family asked me to say that they are willing to offer 3,000 taels as a dowry."

"If the two children were to become betrothed, and their health improved, that would naturally be wonderful. Even if things didn't go well, at least the two children would have each other on the journey to the afterlife…"

"Fart! Shut your stinking mouth!"

Li Lao suddenly stood up, so angry that she exploded!
