The old lady called a little girl over.

"Go and tell the people at the door that I'm sick and dying, and ask them to fetch a doctor right away."

The little girl was stunned, not understanding what was going on.

At the old lady's urging, he bravely opened the door and spoke to Guardian Qi.

Guardian Qi said calmly, "Because the young lady specifically instructed us, our duty is to protect Wutong Garden. It is not our responsibility to invite the doctor."

The little girl asked to see Shen Qingyin, but Guardian Qi said, "The Madam has ordered that since the young lady has been working hard recently, we should not disturb her unless it is something important."

The little girl pretended to be anxious and said, "How can it not be an important matter? The old lady has fainted, I'm afraid she will die soon!"

Guardian Qi smiled and said, "The old lady is like this every day. She faints and wakes up, and faints again and again. We have invited doctors again and again, but none of them works. Why rush now? It won't be too late to wait until dawn."

The little girl wanted to say more, but was blocked by Qi Huyuan and others and sent back into the yard.

There was nothing I could do but tell the old lady everything in detail.

The old lady finally gave up.

I've already told her that she's dying, but Guardian Qi still dares to be so negligent.

How could Qi Huyuan dare to make the decision? Yet he made the decision and blocked it.

If Shen Qingyin and Madam Mu hadn't given clear instructions behind the scenes, how would he dare to do that?

Shen Qingyin has always been very filial to me.

Now, he doesn't even care about her life or death!

I'm afraid she knows more than a little bit...

The old lady became more and more frightened the more she thought about it, and she couldn't sleep at all until midnight.

Hearing the voices outside the courtyard gate, which seemed to be from Guardian Qi and others shouting "Catch a thief", he became even more frightened.

If they broke in and took my life, but I put the blame on the thieves... wouldn't I be dying unjustly?

So he didn't even dare to sleep on the bed in the main room, and ran to lie down on the little maid's bed in the ear room.

He kept his eyes open and finally waited until dawn. He immediately got up and called the little girl.

"Go and tell Guardian Qi that I want to go back to the Shen family. Just say that I am not used to the climate here, so I have been sick. I can only get better if I return to the Shen family."

The little girl went out and said as she was told, but Guardian Qi said it was still uncertain whether it was due to acclimatization.

The little girl passed the words to the old lady, who slumped down in a chair and muttered, "Could it be that he can't even walk anymore?"

Is this a preparation to save your own life?

The old lady was so anxious that her palms were sweating.

Fortunately, after a while, Guardian Qi came over with a maid and a doctor.

"This doctor is very famous in the capital. Let him treat the old lady carefully to see if it's just the climate and water that she has adapted to." Guardian Qi instructed.

The maid accompanied the doctor into the house.

While the doctor was checking the pulse of the old lady who was pretending to faint, one of the little girls called out to the maid:

"Sister, I have something to tell you, can I have a word with you?"

The maid hesitated for a moment and followed the little girl out of the house.

Inside the room, the old lady had already opened her eyes and was desperately trying to stuff money into the doctor's pocket.

She whispered, "Mr. Doctor, you have to help me no matter what. I just don't like living here and want to go home. Please help me, old lady. Just tell a lie and say that I am not used to the climate here."

The doctor was surprised at first, then looked embarrassed and refused to accept it.

The old lady simply shook out the bundle hidden in the quilt, took out a few silver bills from it, and stuffed them into the doctor's hands.

The doctor still refused, saying, "No, absolutely not."

The old lady made up her mind and took off the gold bracelets on her hands and the gold hairpin on her head and stuffed them all into the doctor.

If you want to choose life over money, you have to choose life first.

Shen Qingyin was willing to let the doctor come, which clearly showed that he still had some reservations and was unwilling to turn hostile directly.

It is also possible that he wanted to use the doctor's words to keep her.

She couldn't just sit there and wait for death.

If you don't seize this only opportunity, it will be difficult to leave again.

As expected, money makes the world go round. The doctor took the gold note, and the gold bracelet and hairpin, and finally gave in: "Then, I will do it with reluctance..."

When the maidservant and the little girl came back, the doctor stroked his beard and said in a pretentious manner: "Based on my experience, the old lady is obviously not acclimatized to the local climate. Let her go back to her previous residence, which will be better for her health."

With the doctor's words, Shen Qingyin sent a carriage to pick up the old lady not long after.

The old lady did not waste a moment and quickly ordered several maids to carry her on the carriage and go back to the Shen family.

In Lingfeng Pavilion.

Shen Qingyin was talking to Miaomiao, trying to wake her up.

Fengyun Mo said that the chances of success of this method were very slim, but she still wanted to give it a try.

Faner tiptoed into the house and waited for Shen Qingyin and Miaomiao to finish talking before she spoke.

"Second Miss, the person has left."

Shen Qingyin nodded: "It's good to go."

As for Old Lady Shen, she had extremely complicated feelings.

On the one hand, neither she nor Miaomiao were biological children of the Shen family, and they both owed the Shen family for their upbringing, especially the old lady.

But on the other hand, Mrs. Shen has a vicious mind and her behavior is outrageous.

She didn't know what would happen in the future.

Only after she and Miaomiao’s life stories are clarified, she will be able to make a clear judgment...

But right now, she really didn't want to see that face again.

Such a disaster cannot be left in Bixi Garden.

Driving her away was the only decision she could make right now.

"Where is the doctor?" Shen Qingyin asked again.

Faner put the bag in her hand down on the table and opened it.

"The doctor's arms were bulging with money. When he was leaving the hospital, he was detained by Guardian Qi and his men. After a few threats, he handed over all the money and belongings he had gotten from the old lady."

"Guardian Qi said he would take him to the authorities to sue him for robbing the old lady while she was being treated. He was terrified and kept begging for mercy, even leaving his purse behind. Guardian Qi then let him go..."

Shen Qingyin nodded again.

In her previous life, she had hired that doctor for Qin Yueze. He was quite famous, but he was the most greedy doctor she had ever hired.

He had forced her to take off the jade hairpin on her head and give it to him before she agreed to treat Qin Yueze...

I am teaching him a lesson today just as a reminder, to prevent him from caring only about money and not sincerely treating people in the future.

Shen Qingyin took out the money bag that smelled of medicine and handed it to Fan'er: "Go buy a jar of good wine for Qi Huyuan and the others, and add some good dishes."

Shen family.

As soon as the old lady returned to the Shen family, she sold the three old women without saying a word.

The three old women begged desperately, but the old lady showed no mercy.

Except for Yang Laoliu's family, because Yang Laoliu did a good job in the front yard, they were reluctantly left to do the rough work.

That afternoon, Mrs. Gu and Mrs. Cai were forcibly taken to the human market by Butler Hu and two servants.

Butler Hu specifically told the broker to sell the property far away, but he didn't know that as soon as he left, someone bought the two old women at a high price and quietly sent them to Bixiyuan through the corner gate.
