See off Chen Yu Chao, Gu Jin Zhi as usual returned to the inner courtyard.

  In the afternoon, Qin Shenshi also came to visit, he will leave for Yanling Fu in two days.

  He has been gone for half a year now, and the business of the pharmacy in Yanling Mansion is unknown.

  Yu Wang has finished his task here and now he wants to go back and report to the princess.

  Gu Yanwen met him in the outer study.

  Then, he had Si Lian call for Gu Jinzhi again.

  Qin Shen wrote another contract, giving his share of the medicine shop to Gu Jinzhi: "If Seventh Miss does not accept it, I dare not make An Gong Niuhuang Wan. I also did not dare give more, this is the old shop's share. In the future when we open a branch, I will give Seventh Miss two shares."

  Gu Jin smiled slightly.

  This time, she took it up: "If I don't accept it now, it will be too late."

  Qin Sheng let out a big sigh of relief.

  He is most afraid of owing others favors.

  Now that Gu Jin has taken possession of this contract, his heart feels much more at ease.

  "We settle accounts once a year, and when we do, I'll send someone to deliver the money to Miss Qi." Qin Shenshi said with a smile.

  Gu Jinzhi agreed.

  Gu Yanwen was also on the side without saying a word.

  After being together for a long time, I got to know Qin Shenyi's personality.

  "When are you leaving?" Gu Yanwen asked him.

  "We set off on the 15th and will be taking the same route as Master Rong. Do you have anything for me to bring back to Yanling Fu?" asked Qin Shen.

  "I don't have any, but my wife might have something to say." Gu Yanjin said, then called out to the servant, "Go ask Madame if she wants to bring anything back to Yanling Fu. Mei Qi will be leaving on the 15th. If she has anything she wants to bring, prepare it early."

  Song Pan'er's hometown is in Yanling Prefecture.

  Qin Sheng went back four times, she was probably thinking of sending some local products from the capital to her maternal family.

  The general took orders and left.

  After a moment, he returned and said to Gu Yanjin and Qin Shen: "The lady says that if it's not too much trouble, she would indeed like to buy some fruit cakes. Let Doctor Qin take them back to Uncle's house."

  "No trouble at all, no trouble at all," Qin Shen hurriedly said.

  The secretary went in again to reply.

  Qin Sheng said: "Let Auntie prepare well, I will come back for her on the 14th."

  "No need to come again, I'll send it myself when the time comes." Gu Yanwen said with a smile, "It's just right for you to practice."

  Qin Sheng no longer held back.

  After talking for half a day, he stood up and bid farewell.

  Gu Jinzhi returned to the inner courtyard and handed the contract over to Song Pantou.

  The emperor rewarded those 500 catties of gold, all piled up in the warehouse. Even if Gu Jin spent lavishly for the rest of her life, she wouldn't be able to finish it off. So when Song Dang'er saw this deed, she said to her: "What's the point of coming here? You're not short on that bit of money, and yet you still let people say you've got a stench of copper on you!"

  "What's wrong with the smell of copper?" Gu Jinzhi smiled and said, "We eat, drink, live, and travel. Which one can we do without? Refined and elegant, can't be exchanged for a lack of copper smell? A gentleman loves wealth and takes it in a proper way, I don't steal or rob."

  Song Pan'er burst out laughing and helped her put away the contract.

  Weng's brother was also laughing on the side.

  At dinner time, Gu Yanwen and Xiu Geer came in.

  Xu Geer picked up a dish and twice dropped it back into the bowl.

  Song Pan'er's gaze grew colder and colder.

  "Xu Ge'er, is it because the chopsticks don't fit your hand?"

  Xiong Ge'er immediately shook his head and whispered, "No... nothing." Then he stopped picking at the dishes and buried his head in eating. When scooping rice, his hand trembled slightly.

  Song Pan'er's eyebrows were slightly furrowed. Then she thought of something and asked him, "Your hand... last time you fell from the fake mountain, didn't your hand get hurt?"

  Xu Ge's lips were bitten and he didn't dare speak.

  Gu Yan worried, pulled Xiu Ge's hand to take a look: "Is it really? Is it still painful from the last fall?" Then he rolled up Xiu Ge's sleeve, and his elbow was swollen into a big lump!

  Gu Yanwen was shocked and pale, saying: "Why didn't you speak up? It's swollen like this. You didn't even say a word?"

  Tears welled up in Xiao Ge's eyes.

  "Useless thing, only knows how to cry!" Song Xun heavily put down the bowl. "You've been injured, wouldn't I get a doctor for you? Now that it's come to this, you know how to cry! What were you doing earlier?"

  Xu Ge'er is like this, outsiders don't know, they just think Song Duan'er is being stingy with him.

  Song Paner was indeed not very good to him.

  But Song Pan'er wouldn't make things too difficult for him either.

  Knowing he had a wounded arm, Song Pan'er would definitely ask for a doctor on his behalf.

  As a result, Xiong Geer was always afraid of Song Dang Er and endured in silence rather than speaking out.

  "Don't scold him anymore, he's already like this!" Gu Yanwen said loudly.

  Song Pan'er's words were a bit piercing to Gao Yunzhen's ears at this moment.

  The child is already hurt like this, and he still scolds him.

  "He's also to blame for this!" Song Pan'er's voice grew louder, "I didn't scold him, he won't remember it, and next time he'll do the same! He doesn't tell me, am I supposed to spend all day following him around to take care of him? In the future if something happens to him, it's not like I gave birth to him, others will just think that I, Song Shi, am a sharp-tongued and heartless person! My reputation, why should he ruin it?"

  Xu Ge'er heard Song Tan'er and Gu Yan'zhen quarreling, her eyes brimming with tears, and the big pea-sized teardrops could no longer be held back.

  Gu Yan was stunned by Song Pan'er's loud voice, and after careful consideration of her words, although they were unpleasant, they made sense.

  "Jie er, come and take a look." Gu Yanjun ignored Song Paner and said to Gu Jinzhi who stood up beside him.

  "The bone is slightly dislocated." Gu Jinzhi stepped forward, took a few glances, "I'm not very good at setting bones, it would be better if Grandfather was home. Father, don't delay, take advantage of the two hours before curfew to bring him to town and find a doctor who specializes in treating injuries."

  Gu Yanwen didn't say another word and carried Xue Ge'er on his back and left.

  Out of the dining hall, Xiu Ge's tears couldn't stop falling, dripping down onto Gu Yan Zhen's back.

  Gu Yanwen carried him on his back, walking quickly, but felt the child's sobbing, and softly comforted him: "Xu Ge'er, don't be sad. Your mother is a good person, she just speaks straightforwardly."

  Xu Ge'er didn't respond, she just cried.

  Song Pan'er was furious.

  She didn't eat anymore, Gu Jinzhi escorted her back to her room.

  "Mother, calm down." Gu Jinzhi said, "Don't be angry for the sake of the child in your belly..."

  "How can I not be angry?" Song Tuan'er leaned on the bed, her belly full of anger. "Silent and unresponsive, saying nothing, who does it look like? You say, whoever knows about this matter will suspect that I'm usually vicious!"

  I'm not one to get along with people easily. But I wouldn't go out of my way to bully a kid for no reason, I'm not that despicable! If Hong Lian hadn't acted so shamelessly first, why would I have tolerated him?

  Third Master's descendants are thriving, which is a good thing. Although I don't like him, I haven't really made things difficult for him either. Yet he doesn't know how to be grateful and keeps causing me trouble in all sorts of ways."

  Gu Jin slowly gave her a massage to help her digest.

  Weng's brother was just at the door, poking his head in and out, but didn't dare come in.

  The two brothers were both very afraid of Song Dang Er.

  Seeing him like this, Song Xiang's heart softened.

  She treats her own children with a soft heart that has no bottom line, and she can't help but offer all the good things in the world to her siblings.

  Her anger had dissipated by half, and she smiled at Huan Ge'er, saying: "Quickly come in, you can't just stand at the door like a thief?"

  With a smile in his voice, Brother Huan smiled and ran in, pouncing into Gu Jin's arms.

  Gu Jin hugged him, and the siblings sat on Song Tan'er's bed.

  "Mother, don't be angry." Huange said in a low voice, "I'll be good from now on and listen to you."

  Song Pan'er looked at her son's pitiful expression and couldn't help but smile. Only then did she feel relieved.

  "Song Brother is the most obedient!" Song Pan'er smiled.

  "Gege is well-behaved too." Xiongge's voice was like a mosquito, "Mother, don't scold him, he was wrong. He'll be good from now on."

  Song Pan'er was shocked and looked at Gu Jinzhi.

  Gu Jing didn't expect that Huan Ge would plead for Zhuo Ge.

  Song Pan'er smiled again and pulled her son's hand: "Mother won't blame him. When he comes back, Mother will never scold him again."

  Weng's eyes widened in surprise. With a hint of hope, he asked: "Really?"

  His eyes were black, reflecting Song Dang Er's white and loving face. Her heart was touched again. She nodded vigorously: "Mother will never scold you, Ba Ge, okay?"

  Uncle Wang was overjoyed and burst out laughing happily.

  Song Pan'er lowered her eyelids and seemed to be making some decision.

  Gu Jin held onto Huan Ge and looked at her mother, feeling a sense of satisfaction that was hard to put into words.

  Zhu Zhongjun's arrival dispelled her feeling of loss.

  The wider your heart is, the more things you can accommodate.

  About two hours later, a young servant came in and reported that Third Master and Eighth Young Master had returned.

  Song Pan'er immediately sent Mu Qing to take a look.

  Mu Qing quickly returned and said to Song Xiang'er, "Third Master told me to tell the madam that the doctors all say that Eighth Young Master's injury is not serious, he has already been treated for his fracture, and for the next half month, he must not use his hand."

  Song Pan'er nodded and said, "You arrange for two clever maids to serve him food and clothes tomorrow. If he gets hurt again, I won't forgive you..."

  Thinking of her brother being present, her words became softer and more gentle.

  Mù qīng dào shì.

  Weng's brother is going to see Xiu's brother.

  "It's getting late, let's go tomorrow morning." Song Pan'er said.

  Weng's brother pouted.

  "Mother, I'd like to go take a look too. I'll bring Huan with me and we'll be back soon. Don't worry, I'll take care of him."

  Song Pan'er hesitated for a moment and had no choice but to agree, calling Nian Lu to accompany her.

  When they arrived at Xuzi's courtyard, Gu Yanwen was still there.

  He instructed his brother Xī to tell him if he wanted to eat or use anything.

  Xu Ge's hands were clamped in a clip, unable to move.

  Xu Ge and Gu Jinzi came in, Xiu Ge smiled and called out to Seventh Sister and Ninth Brother.

  "Does it hurt, Gege?" Xiong Ge'er climbed onto his bed and looked at the hand that was sandwiched between two boards, his expression gloomy.

  Xu Ge'er hastily said: "Not painful at all, just like an ant bite! That doctor is really something!"

  It's more comfortable this way, brother.

  Gu Jinzhi also said to take good care of herself.

  By the second day, Song Pan'er got up early and yesterday's anger was gone.

  She had the rhubarb ground and began to write about the local products of the capital, and asked Gu Yanwen to buy it and send it to Qin Shenyi, letting Qin Shenyi take it back to Yanling Mansion.

  Just as I finished writing, a young servant rushed in and said that the eldest branch had sent over a maidservant, Spring Ingenuity, who was by the side of the first wife.

  Song Pan'er glanced at Mu Qing.

  Mu Qing hastily said: "Chun Qiao is the first person beside Madam, she's good at calculations and Madam lets her help with managing the accounts. She's here, it must be something important..."

  Song Pan'er then said to the young servant: "Go and invite him in."

  Chunqiao came in quickly.

  She hastily stepped in and knelt down to Song Tan'er: "Third Madame, our madame has invited Seventh Young Miss! The old master... the old master is unconscious!"
