Forced to die for his loyalty, he was reborn in the arms of the cold and cruel regent!

Zhu only sniffed it once, then turned away in disgust, waved her hand and said, "What kind of doctor is this? The medicine he prescribed smells so bad. I drank the bowl of medicine at noon, and my stomach is still sour. I won't drink it anymore."

"Good medicine tastes bitter but is good for the disease." Shen Mengyao advised her and handed the medicine bowl over.

Zhu just refused to drink.

Nanny Wang sighed and rolled her eyes, "It's hard to find a good doctor in the capital. We don't have enough money, and even famous doctors are unwilling to come."

Oh, so he was waiting for her here!

Shen Mengyao smiled and said, "What's the big deal? Mother-in-law, of course we have to pay for this. Mammy, please go and ask for a doctor."

Nanny Wang glanced at Zhu and said, "I can't leave. It's better to let you, Madam, do it."

Shen Mengyao felt something was wrong when she saw the two of them singing the same tune.

She thought about it and realized that this was not an excessive request. If she refused, there might be rumors. She nodded and smiled, "It's just a small matter, but it's too late today. I will do it tomorrow. Mother-in-law, take a good rest and take care of your health."

Zhu got what she wanted and did not embarrass her anymore. She reached out and lifted the quilt to cover herself.

"I'm sleepy, you go back first."

Shen Mengyao nodded: "Mother-in-law, you should have a good rest too." She turned around and left quickly. When she reached the door, she turned back and saw Zhu lying on the bed with a sallow face.

Cuiwei put a cloak on her when she went out.

"It's cold at night, and the old lady invited you to come here specially. Is there anything?"

"My mother-in-law is ill, and I want to invite a good doctor." Shen Mengyao looked thoughtful. After thinking for a moment, she said, "Invite Li Junfeng over tomorrow morning. I have something to say to him."

Cuiwei was stunned for a moment and nodded.

The next day, after getting up and washing up, Li Junfeng yawned and walked in from the door, with a hint of complaint in his tone: "It's busy outside, what's going on so early in the morning?"

"My mother-in-law is sick and wants to find a doctor." Shen Mengyao made him a cup of strong tea.

Li Junfeng was stunned for a moment: "What? Mom is sick? Why didn't anyone tell me?"

"I got sick last night. I probably didn't wake you up because I was afraid you were tired." Shen Mengyao explained, "The weather has been changing so much lately that's why I got sick. The doctor I invited is not good. I need to invite a famous doctor."

When Li Junfeng heard that it was about money, his eyes rolled and he said loudly: "Then you are welcome. I will go see my mother again when I come back today."

Shen Mengyao handed him the tea, lowered her eyes and said humbly, "I am a woman, how can I know if the doctor is good or not? If I hire the wrong doctor, it will be my mother-in-law who will suffer. Why don't you go find one and I will transfer the money from the account to you."

Li Junfeng's eyes lit up: "That's good."

Shen Mengyao turned around and called Cuiwei: "Take the young master and transfer 100 taels of silver from the account. Say it's for my mother-in-law's medical treatment."

When Li Junfeng heard that there was a hundred taels of silver, it wouldn't cost that much to hire a good doctor, so he was delighted and agreed more readily: "This is originally my business, I'm sorry to trouble you."

"Why should we have different opinions when we are one family?" Shen Mengyao smiled gently and peacefully.

Cuiwei was indignant. Even if it was just to hire a good doctor, it would only cost a few taels of silver. Her wife had always been in charge of the household affairs. Shouldn't she know all these things clearly? Why did she give so much?

However, she did not dare to say anything in front of the two men. She bowed and followed Li Junfeng to the accounting office. She saw him leaving happily with a hundred taels of silver, and she was immediately very angry.

When she returned, she saw Shen Mengyao sipping tea under a tree, looking thoughtful. She walked up to him angrily and said, "Madam, why did you give the young master so much money? Ten taels is enough, and it's more than enough. You can find someone to do it yourself, and it won't cost more than a few taels of silver."

Shen Mengyao put down the teacup and looked at Cuiwei: "You don't understand this, right? Some responsibilities cannot be taken on casually. Things that can be solved with money are the simplest."

Cuiwei blinked her eyes, half understanding and half not understanding.

In the afternoon, Li Junfeng invited the doctor. After hearing about it, she brought some high-quality ginseng to visit Zhu.

The doctor was feeling the patient's pulse. After a while, he stroked his goatee and said, "It's just a common cold. It will be fine after taking a few doses of medicine. Madam, don't worry."

As he said this, he picked up his brush and started writing the prescription.

Shen Mengyao then walked in quickly, put the top-quality ginseng aside, and said with concern: "How do you feel, mother-in-law? Is the doctor we found this time to your liking? If he doesn't work, just tell your daughter-in-law. Although I can't find the imperial physician in the palace, I can still find a famous doctor!"

Zhu nodded with great satisfaction.

"I think it's great."

Shen Mengyao pointed at the ginseng on the table and said, "Oh, this is ginseng. It was given to me by the palace. I was reluctant to use it. I will use it to strengthen my body after my mother-in-law recovers from her illness. You will not be able to benefit from it now."

The doctor wrote the prescription, stroked his beard, nodded and said, "It seems that the young lady knows a little about pharmacology. It is indeed not suitable to use ginseng now, but after recovering from a serious illness, using ginseng for nourishment is the best."

Shen Mengyao smiled and said with concern: "Mother-in-law, you can rest assured and recuperate. I will take care of the affairs of the mansion."

She waited until the doctor finished prescribing the medicine and served the first dose before leaving the yard.

After Zhu drank the bitter medicine in the bowl, her face turned blue.

"If I can really use this method to suppress her, it will not be in vain for me to suffer so much."

Nanny Wang calmed her down and said, "Don't worry, everything is ready."

The next day, several noble ladies who were familiar with Zhu came to visit her, each of them bringing a lot of gifts. Zhu forced herself to sit up.

"Why are you here? I'm sick, I might pass the disease on to you."

"You are ill, I have to come and see you in person to feel at ease." A lady named Wang pushed her back to the bed and tucked the quilt for her: "I see that you look fine."

Zhu smiled and said, "What's wrong with you? Your face has turned black from all the medicine you took these past two days."

Mrs. Wang sat back in her chair and said with a smile, "You are so lucky to have such a good daughter-in-law. You are the one who worries you the least. She manages everything in the mansion meticulously at such a young age. You are born to enjoy happiness!"

A gleam of light flashed in Zhu's eyes, and she nodded with a smile: "Who said it wasn't? This time when I was sick, she even personally invited a famous doctor to come for me."

"How enviable."

Everyone praised the words.

Just when the atmosphere was joyful, Zhu suddenly lay on the bed and vomited a pool of blood.
