Sister-in-law Zhao suddenly understood what the imperial doctor's eyes meant. She suspected that her family was abusing children.

"Your Majesty, our family treats no one badly and would not dare to treat our little sister badly. How can we still lose energy and blood after eating so many vegetables and meat in one meal?"

The imperial doctor said: "I don't understand this either. I just look at the doctor based on the pulse and then prescribe medicine. Centennial ginseng is the most basic. Otherwise, if the child cannot be raised well, in the future..."

He didn't dare to say it out loud. Children at this age are very likely to die young. Some families dare not name the child until he is eight years old, just for fear that he will not be able to stand up.

This child is rumored to be stupid and unable to speak. Perhaps the family dislikes it and wants to slowly kill the child, right?

There are conspiracy theories among imperial doctors. Of course, this is not uncommon. There are also princes and princesses who died due to various reasons in the palace, not to mention the families of ministers.

Sister-in-law Zhao stamped her feet anxiously. Why can't she explain this clearly?

"Stop talking so much, go ahead and make some medicine for the child to drink."

Sister-in-law Zhao had no choice but to go to the warehouse to fetch century-old ginseng. After all, the general's palace still had this kind of life-saving medicine. She boiled the medicine for Zhao Letong, and the imperial doctor's face looked better. The little girl was saved if she gave up the ginseng.

Zhao Letong drank a bowl of ginseng medicinal soup, and his spiritual power was quickly replenished. He also gained strength and opened his eyes.

"Tongtong, you are finally awake. You scared my sister-in-law to death."

Zhao Letong smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, I'm fine."

The imperial doctor warned him to keep taking the medicine, and it was best to eat a few more ginseng roots to strengthen his body and nourish his vitality. The child didn't know how he had gone through so much trouble, losing so much qi and blood.

As a wealthy couple, Zhao Letong also knew that he was losing energy and blood, but there was nothing he could do. Where could she, a child, get those precious supplements for her family to eat? People were afraid that she would eat them badly.

I can only practice to replenish my spiritual energy. Today I am fighting with the Taoist priests and I have suffered serious losses, which is why I am so weak.

When Zhao Biao came back, he learned that his daughter was sick and hurriedly came to see her, "My good daughter, what's wrong?"

Sister-in-law Zhao blamed herself: "It's my daughter-in-law who didn't take good care of my sister-in-law. The imperial doctor said that she has lost Qi and blood and needs to eat more ginseng to replenish her health."

"Then eat it. Do we have it in the warehouse? If not, go buy it."

"There are two sticks, which is enough for my little sister to eat for a few days. But I have to buy it if I want to eat it in the future. A stick of century-old ginseng on the market costs at least several thousand taels of silver. It is still very expensive and not available in the market, so it is difficult to buy it."

"No matter how much it costs, if my daughter wants to eat, she must buy it."

Sister-in-law Zhao hesitated to speak. Zhao Letong was not really three and a half years old. He was simple and ignorant and could not see the embarrassment of Sister-in-law Zhao. [Sister-in-law probably didn’t have that much money. 】

Although the General's Mansion looks glamorous on the outside, it is not rich on the inside. There are many children in the family, studying, eating, wearing clothes, traveling expenses, favors, and raising so many slaves and guards, not to mention Zhao Biao. I will help the clan members in my hometown, but everything requires money.

A root of ginseng costs more than a thousand taels. Zhao Letong can eat three or four ginseng a month, which is enough for a whole family to consume for a month. It's not that Mrs. Zhao is reluctant to part with it, but the reality is very difficult.

He gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, my daughter-in-law will come and think of a solution. My father-in-law will talk to my little sister, and my daughter-in-law will leave first."

At worst, I can't sell her some jewelry as a dowry, but I can't lose my little sister's health.

Zhao Biao heard Zhao Letong's thoughts and understood his daughter-in-law's thoughts, and said, "You don't have to worry about money. I'll figure it out."

"My father-in-law's salary is only that much, what can I do? My daughter-in-law still has some personal money, which is enough. Father-in-law, don't worry."

Zhao Biao refused: "Where can I have a daughter-in-law who cares about my own money? My father said you don't have to worry about it, so you don't have to worry about it. Just go down."

Zhao Letong, [You can’t speak well, my sister-in-law means well. 】

Zhao Biao: "..."

He just raised his voice like a quarrel.

Fortunately, Sister-in-law Zhao didn't care. She understood her father-in-law's temper and meant no harm. She knelt down and saluted and said, "My wife, please step aside first."

Zhao Biao waved his hands, thinking only of Zhao Letong, "Dad, I didn't owe you anything. Why are you so seriously ill?"

[It’s okay, I’ll pay attention. Eating more will help, so don’t worry. 】

Zhao Biao thought that she ate so much every meal and it turned out that she was suffering from physical damage. He continued: "From now on, I can cook whatever the lady wants to eat every day. You can eat as much as she wants. Don't restrain her. This will cause a loss of energy and blood." , and they are not allowed to eat, can they be raised?"

The slaves obeyed. It seems that the young lady is very talented and needs to eat more to be in good health.

Zhao Letong drank the medicine and felt a little sleepy. Zhao Biao watched her fall asleep before leaving.

Returning to his yard, he opened his study and looked at the countless swords, guns, clubs, axes, axes, knives and forks collected on the wall. They were all treasures from his collection, and each one was valuable.

"My old friends, I have no choice but to give up on you. My daughter wants to eat ginseng, and the father must be satisfied. We can't let the child suffer."

Zhao Biao was very reluctant to part with her. He was not looking for a woman and was not lustful. He could give up this little hobby for the sake of his daughter.

Zhao Letong is also thinking about making money. She will need more medicinal materials for practice in the future, and she cannot rely on her family alone.

If you tell people's fortunes, you have to rely on chance, mainly because you are a child, and others don't believe in you.

Let's treat people. She is not a professional medical practitioner. She only relies on spiritual energy to treat people's illnesses. The gain outweighs the loss.

Let's do business, let alone, what kind of business can she do with a child and no capital?

Hey, it seems that I can do nothing but practice cultivation. I didn’t starve to death in my previous life, thanks to the help of my colleagues.

Robbery is my specialty, you can't just rob, right?

Zhao Letong fell asleep thinking about it. The medicinal effect of ginseng was very good. When he woke up, he felt energetic again.

When she opened her eyes, she saw a big face in front of her. She was so frightened that she slapped it away, "What the hell?" 】

"It's me, sister-in-law, your favorite fifth nephew."

It turned out to be Zhao Youning. Zhao Letong was sorry, [Fifth nephew, why did you slap me in the face so early in the morning? 】

"I heard that my sister-in-law is sick. I came to see my sister-in-law and brought you my favorite snacks. Sister-in-law, please get well soon. I will give you all my snacks."

[You are really filial, sister-in-law, it’s okay, you can eat it, be careful not to grow taller, you will be a dwarf in the future and will not be able to marry a wife. 】

"It doesn't matter if you have a daughter-in-law, as long as you have a sister-in-law."

This child was so considerate that it made people feel warm. When Zhao Letong got up, the maid and wet nurse came in to take care of him, and she didn't have to do anything to wash and dress herself.

It felt good to be served by someone. Zhao Letong enjoyed the privileges of a child.

The breakfast was very rich, and Zhao Biao did not let other children or grandchildren come to eat with him. He only let Zhao Letong accompany him. In this way, the children could eat as much as they wanted, and if there was not enough, they would add more without fear of scaring anyone.

Zhao Letong had a delicious meal, filling his stomach was important. The father and daughter ate cleanly at the table, and they slumped on the chair to eat while holding their bellies.

The housekeeper came in and said with a smile: "The general and the young lady are indeed the biological father and daughter, their postures are the same."

Zhao Letong was startled and sat up straight in an instant, thinking about Zhao Biao's carefree way of walking with his legs crossed. It would be scary if he was like that.

[Stay far away from my father from now on. I learned from him the inelegant posture and rough walking. I am a girl and I cannot learn those bad habits. 】
