Qin Guangjin pondered for several days but could not come up with a way to ask Xie Liuzheng's birth date. Worried about being blamed by Madam Feng, he went to Wang Gui to inquire.

?

Wang Gui smiled bitterly and said, "I don't know who is the one who made up the story that the Second Madam secretly sent money to her parents' home. She was so angry that she fell ill and couldn't leave the house. Even the old lady got sick from the anger. If we catch that person, we will definitely give him a slap in the face."

?

What Qin Guangjin cared about was not whether someone was sick or not, but Xie Liuzheng's marriage. "Since the second lady is sick, won't my nephew's marriage be delayed?"

?

"Stop talking about marriage." Wang Gui patted Qin Guangjin's shoulder meaningfully. "The Second Madam had good intentions. How could she dare to ask about her family's affairs after being talked about like this behind her back?"

?

"Besides, the old lady is angry, so the second lady has to avoid suspicion. I'm afraid she won't be able to go back to her parents' home in the future."

?

Qin Guangjin gradually figured out what was going on. "The Second Madam is almost a grandmother, but she is still being pressured by her mother-in-law. It's too... No wonder there's an old saying that says, if an old man doesn't die, he's a thief."

?

Wang Gui was so frightened that he quickly covered his mouth and said, "Are you trying to kill yourself? How dare you say such words?"

?

Qin Guangjin didn't dare say anything more and asked Wang Gui to ask Mrs. Feng Er whether the marriage between Chen Baobao and Xie Liuzheng was still valid.

?

Wang Gui readily agreed and returned to Feng Mansion to find an opportunity to meet Mrs. Feng II.

?

Madam Feng was seriously ill, and after taking two doses of medicine to reduce her anger, she recovered. However, she was too embarrassed to show it, and did not want to visit the old lady every morning and evening, so she used this as an excuse to stay in her room in peace.

?

After hearing Wang Gui's words through the window, Mrs. Feng became more and more angry.

?

Chen Baobao and Xie Liuzheng got married. The Chen family got a mountain of gold. They no longer had to worry about food and clothing. With Chen Baobao in charge, Xie Liuzheng, that little bitch, would not dare to gossip in front of the old lady.

?

It’s all the damn old woman’s fault. She always uses her status as a mother-in-law to pressure her, and as a result, she can’t even leave the Feng family’s door. This marriage has to be put on hold for the time being.

?

No! We can’t let the old woman ruin everything!

?

"The marriage cannot be delayed. Ask Qin Guangjin to get Xie Liuzheng's birth date and time first. I will personally inquire about other matters after I recover from my illness."

?

Wang Gui agreed and left. Madam Feng II called her confidant and said, "Give me more of the medicine I asked you to get last time."

?

The confidant was startled and whispered, "Madam, if it's any heavier, I'm afraid people will notice it..."

?

"See? Who can see?" Madam Feng Er snorted coldly with a gloomy face, "The doctor is familiar, and the prescription has been used before, what is there to see?"

?

"Besides, this is the Feng family. They are a family of gentlemen and virtuous women. Even the dogs in the Feng family know how to behave. How could something shameful happen?"

?

"Just do what I say. I know what's going on."

?

After the confidants left, Madam Feng sat in front of the window and clenched her fists, as if she wanted to crush the old lady to death in her hands. "Old woman, let's see how you can suppress me after you enter the coffin."

?

Madam Feng was temporarily unable to leave the house, but Xie Liuzheng did not dare to let down her guard. Since Qin Guangjin had the intention to interfere in her marriage, if it wasn't Madam Feng and Chen Baobao, there would be someone else.

?

In private, she mentioned to Xie Xiangyu that Qin Guangjin had asked her about her birth date, but she didn't dare to mention the Feng family for fear that she would worry.

?

Xie Xiangyu frowned immediately, "What the hell is that bastard planning to do again?"

?

Xie Liuzheng pretended not to understand, "Maybe he wants to coax me into giving him money?"

?

If only it were that simple. Xie Xiangyu patted Xie Liuzheng lightly and said, "Silly child, your birth date and time are very important. You must not reveal them to anyone except your closest relatives. Especially not to Qin Guangjin."

?

"If he uses your birth date and horoscope to randomly arrange a marriage for you, your life will be ruined."

?

"Before you were born, I specially invited a midwife from Tai'an. I am the only one who knows your birth date and time. Even the time you know is fake."

?

Xie Liuzheng felt relieved when she heard this. Since Xie Xiangyu took it so seriously, she had nothing to worry about. But she was also a little puzzled.

?

She knew that birth date was very important and every family took it very seriously and would not easily reveal it to outsiders. However, she had never heard of anyone who attached so much importance to it as Xie Xiangyu did. Perhaps the princes and princesses were no more important than her.

?

Xie Liuzheng felt relieved to know that her marriage would not be easily taken advantage of by Qin Guangjin. The next day, she went to Feng's house to visit the old lady and chat with her to relieve her boredom.

?

The old lady's condition did not improve, but became increasingly serious. She felt chest tightness, shortness of breath, dizziness and fatigue after just a few words.

?

Xie Liuzheng went to see the eldest lady privately to ask about the old lady's condition. The eldest lady was also very worried.

?

"The doctor comes once a day to check my pulse, and I've changed the prescription, but it's not getting better. I'm afraid it's because I'm old and my heart is not at peace..."

?

"If we talk about changing another doctor, there won't be a better one in Yangzhou City, so we don't dare to invite one easily."

?

Xie Liuzheng thought of Mr. Pei, but Mr. Pei was expelled from the Imperial Hospital because of a crime, and outsiders who didn't know the truth would definitely question his medical skills.

?

After three or five days, the old lady's condition became worse and worse. Xie Liuzheng gritted his teeth, picked up Mr. Pei and brought him directly to the eldest lady's room.

?

"Madam, this gentleman is a miracle doctor. I cannot tell you his origins right now, but I can guarantee with my life that his medical skills are excellent. Please find a way to let him see the old lady."

?

The eldest lady hesitated for a moment and nodded. "It's rare that you are so filial. Whether you can cure the disease or not, the old lady and I will not blame you."

?

Xie Liuzheng was not afraid of being blamed, but he just didn't want such a good old man to die in such an unclear way.

?

The eldest lady brought Xie Liuzheng and Mr. Pei to Songhe Hall, where Mr. Feng and his wife happened to be there.

?

The first lady knew that the second lady had some grudge against Xie Liuzheng, so she specially introduced Mr. Pei as the miracle doctor invited by Xie Liuzheng to do her a good job.

?

Unexpectedly, when the second lady heard that Xie Liuzheng brought a doctor to see the old lady, she immediately became furious.

?

"How many doctors have you seen? How dare you bring them here to treat the old lady? Can you afford to take responsibility if something happens?"

?

"Just because you have learned a few colors, you want to open a dyeing factory. What a fool you are."

?

Master Feng II also didn't believe that Xie Liuzheng could find a better doctor. In order to ease the atmosphere, he gently gave her a way out: "You are very filial to the old lady. Your stepmother and I know it. But this is not a trivial matter. Don't try it lightly."

?

"Since this gentleman is here, it would be a shame to have him come here for nothing. I will pay for the carriage and tea."

?

Xie Liuzheng didn't have the patience to argue, and fell to his knees with a plop. "I guarantee with my own life that this gentleman is not a quack."

?

"Please ask my foster father and foster mother to allow you to treat the old lady."

?

Master Feng was startled and quickly asked the maid to help her up. "Hurry up, hurry up, just take a look, it's not a big deal."
