Of course, the one who needed it most urgently was Old Madam Zeng. But she was too embarrassed to ask her mortal enemy, Old Madam Qin.

When she heard everyone asking questions, she pricked up her ears.

However, when Mrs. Qin saw that everyone was paying attention to her, she was only panicked for a moment, then she wiped her mouth and said calmly:

"Who said I had dentures? You haven't seen me for a few days. Dentures require extraction of teeth, which will cause wounds. How can I eat so quickly?"

Think about the elderly people around you who have dentures. They have to pull out their original teeth and then make custom dentures. But in fact, these things can only play a decorative role and cannot be used to chew food. Otherwise, the gums will be worn out and covered with blisters.

If you are not a ruthless person, you really can't eat with dentures.

Therefore, dentures are basically painful and impractical for the elderly, and gradually fewer people go for them. They would rather just eat something soft and mushy to get by.

"Then how come you can eat glutinous rice noodles all of a sudden?"

Someone continued to ask.

Madam Qin lied without changing her expression:

"My tooth doesn't hurt anymore. If I want to eat, I can eat."

In other words, she still uses her original two teeth.

Although everyone is familiar with each other, they are not as familiar as the maids who serve their masters and know the chewing ability of other people's teeth.

The rest of the people were fooled, except Old Madam Zeng who didn't believe it.

She knew Madam Qin too well. She must have felt guilty the moment she was discovered eating glutinous rice noodles.

Later, when answering everyone's questions, the old lady of the Qin family kept tapping the teacup with her ring finger. This was a little trick she had used since she was young, a way to tell lies.

In an instant, Madam Zeng was completely certain that the old woman was definitely not telling the truth.

What is there to hide about a dental clinic? They are just afraid that she would also go to that dentist to get her teeth done, so that she would have nothing to put pressure on them.

Humph, you’re already so old, but you’re still such a stingy person!

Old Madam Zeng snorted in her heart.

If she doesn't want to tell you, then don't think she can't find out.

With this in mind, as soon as the party was over, Madam Zeng sent her trusted nanny to take some money and go find the servants in the Qin Mansion to get the news.

But although Madam Qin and her family have made two trips recently to offer sacrifices and treatment, except for the old maid who is her most trusted, the rest of the people are really unaware of the situation.

The only person who went into the Taoist temple with her to wait was the old maid, who kept her mouth shut. The other servants around her were unable to pry open Madam Qin's mouth, and they only knew that Madam Qin's teeth had improved since she came back from Cihang Temple in the east of the city.

Some people occasionally heard Old Madam Qin muttering that the new teeth made by the temple master were very useful.

Old Madam Zeng soon received the news and immediately understood.

That damn old woman really had dentures!

I never thought that the Cihang Temple, a Taoist temple that I had never heard of, would have such good dental technology.

Old Madam Zeng had suffered from being toothless for a long time, so upon hearing this, she immediately decided to go to Cihang Temple the next day and ask the abbot to make some dentures for her.

It’s not like she can’t afford it.

When the time comes, she will ask the temple master to make eight big teeth for her, four on each side, six more than the old woman from the Qin family! Let's see how she can still show off in front of her.

Thinking about the day when she would have working dentures and could eat and drink as she pleased, she became impatient, and early the next morning, she rushed to Cihang Temple with the silver bills.

Mrs. Zeng was very polite at first.

"Excuse me, Taoist priest, is the abbot of your temple good at the art of tooth making?"

The receptionist was still Huiyun. After hearing what the old lady said, she immediately understood where this person came from.
