"Use the money to dig a large cellar in my private residence and use it to store the grain when the time comes." Liu Yueru asked Mother Yan to take out all the silver bills from her warehouse and hand them to Uncle Fu.

"This is easy to handle, but Madam gave all the banknotes to me..." Uncle Fu looked at Liu Yueru worriedly.

Uncle Fu was the steward he brought from the Liu Mansion. He had watched her grow up since she was a child and treated Liu Yueru as his closest relative.

Considering that Brother Yan is in poor health, if he doesn’t have some money, I’m afraid no one will be able to help him if something happens.

Liu Yueru's eyes were filled with warmth: "Don't worry, Uncle Fu, I still have some extra money, and the revenue from the shops in the dowry is also good, enough for me to use."

"I have to deal with my current work as soon as possible. The cellars must be completed by mid-July. If I rent a lot of land, I will have to dig a few more cellars in other farms under my name." Liu Yueru roughly calculated the time.

In the last life, the locust plague occurred around mid-September, and the time reserved in between could be used to purchase food and harvest the crops grown in the fields.

Uncle Fu frowned slightly. "I'll do it now."

He put the banknotes into his arms, bowed, and walked out hurriedly with brisk steps.

Mother Yan also became a little nervous: "Madam, what news did you receive that requires you to store so much food?"

Liu Yueru shook her head: "I had a dream a few days ago. I dreamed that there was a locust plague in Kyoto. I am worried that the dream will come true, so I'd better make plans early."

Ye Tao couldn't help but chuckle: "People often say that dreams are the opposite of reality. How could there be a locust plague in Kyoto? I think Madam is too tired."

Liu Yueru smiled but said nothing.

Inside Xingyu Pavilion.

Yuan Qinglian took advantage of the fact that there were few people around and took a detour to the room where Song Shijin was.

Jin Ge'er lay on the bed limp and listless.

Hearing the noise outside, she turned pale with fright, moved her body to hide inside, and cried out, "I don't want the medicine, I don't want it, it hurts."

"Don't be afraid, Jin'er, it's mother." Yuan Qinglian called him softly.

Song Shijin stopped what he was doing, looked up at Yuan Qinglian with grievance, and begged, "Mother, my wound has almost healed, can father please not let the servants apply that kind of medicine to me anymore?"

"Son, son, it hurts so much." As Song Shijin spoke, he couldn't help but shiver.

As soon as he finished speaking, several sturdy servants entered the inner room with medicine bottles.

Seeing Yuan Qinglian beside Song Shijin's bed, they looked at each other strangely.

Yuan Qinglian stood up quickly and said, "I'm here to look for the prince."

She stood quietly aside, and Song Shijin looked at Yuan Qinglian with red eyes, full of anticipation.

"If there is nothing else, Madam Yuan, please go back first. We need to apply medicine to Young Master Jin." The servant looked at her with a hint of contempt.

Yuan Qinglian had no choice but to slowly leave the room.

As the servants approached, Song Shijin suddenly climbed up from the bed despite the pain and hurriedly explained: "I, I'm fine now, I don't need any more medicine."

The servant didn't listen to him at all. He went forward and pinned him down, making his hands and feet unable to move.

One of the men lifted up his robe and sprinkled medicine on the wound.

Not long after.

"Ah..." Song Shijin's hysterical wails were heard from inside the house.

Yuan Qinglian tightly grasped the handkerchief, listening to the screams in the house, unable to bear it any longer, she ran to Nanxi Hall.

"Mother Chen, could you please let me in to see the old lady?" Yuan Qinglian pleaded.

"The old lady has gone to bed. If there is nothing important, come back tomorrow." Mother Chen was unhappy and blocked her out of the door.

"It's Brother Jin..." Yuan Qinglian bit her lip and hesitated to speak.

Old Madam Song couldn't stand Yuan Qinglian's soft and hard nagging, and said angrily: "Let her in."

"Brother Jin is doing fine with Nanzhi, why are you making a fuss here?" Old Madam Song asked unhappily.

Yuan Qinglian knelt on the ground hurriedly: "This servant greets the old lady."

Madam Song waved her hands: "If you have something to say, please speak up and stop polluting my eyes."

Yun Qinglian lowered her head to hide her emotions and said carefully, "I don't know what medicine those servants gave Jin'er. He rolled over on the bed and wailed in pain. He looked very pitiful."

Seeing that Old Madam Song remained silent, she continued, "Jin'er is usually such a tolerant child, but just now I heard him screaming outside his room with my own ears, and the servant who was applying the medicine turned pale with fear."

Old Madam Song also learned from the servants the power of this medicine: "This is the medicine that Yan'er and Nan Zhi went to the Jin Palace to ask for early in the morning. It was made by the genius doctor Yunhe, and it has a miraculous effect on healing wounds."

"Brother Jin has just used it a few times, and the palace doctor has confirmed that he is almost healed. If he uses it a few more times, he will be able to get out of bed and walk normally when we get to Liu's mansion later."

Yuan Qinglian had heard them say before in Liu Mansion: "If the medicine is the same as the one in Liu Mansion, the bottle in Liu Mansion would not be like this after using it."

Her eyes moved slightly, and she said hurriedly, "When the emperor bestowed the medicine, Liu Mansion, Jin Wang Mansion, and Crown Prince Mansion each had a bottle. I heard that the bottle from Liu Mansion was very cool and comfortable after use."

"What do you want to say?" Old Madam Song looked down at her.

Yuan Qinglian explained: "Jin'er was injured because of Madam's punishment. Madam can go to Liu's house to get the bottle of medicine back. This way, Jin'er will suffer less and can better deal with the matter of accompanying his studies."

Old Madam Song was somewhat moved by what she said.

Song Nanzhi came in from outside and said with a sullen face, "No."

"Who knew that the medicine was so precious? Now Brother Yan has already asked for a bottle. If the people in Prince Jin's Mansion knew that Yue'er went back to Liu's Mansion to get another bottle, and Prince Jin and the young master knew about it, I'm afraid some trouble would arise again." Song Nanzhi explained unhappily.

Looking at Yuan Qinglian kneeling on the ground, he felt more and more displeased.

"Prince, someone must have tampered with the medicine, otherwise why would Brother Jin be in so much pain?" Yuan Qinglian really couldn't bear it.

"Madam is the mistress of the Marquis's Mansion and Jin'er's biological mother. Naturally, she has to worry about Jin'er's affairs. She has already punished him, and now it's such a critical moment. If the tutoring fails, Madam will also be responsible for it." Yuan Qinglian's words were getting more and more outrageous.

Madam Song pondered for a moment, then looked at Song Nan and said, "What Qinglian said makes sense. Why don't you mention it to Yueru? Maybe she will agree for the sake of Jin'er?"

"If the medicine doesn't hurt when applied, Jin'er won't reject it. Apply it a few more times and by the time we return to Liu Mansion, even if he's not fully recovered, he'll be almost fully recovered." Yuan Qinglian struck while the iron was hot.

Song Nanzhi was also persuaded, but Song Yiyan's words in the morning made him feel a little embarrassed.

"Yue Ru came here earlier and talked about the tutoring matter. As long as he is seen by the people in the Imperial College, there will be no problem. He can successfully become the tutor of the Crown Prince. This is a great thing for our Marquis' Mansion." Old Madam Song continued to persuade.

Liu Yueru was standing outside and heard every word of the conversation between the people.

She reached out, pushed the half-open door open, and walked in!
