"Hey, whose pony is that outside? It's pretty good!" Young Master Jin walked in with his hands behind his back, as if he was at home. He walked at a very fast pace, waved his hands, and grinned, showing off his neat white teeth. "Oh, there are quite a lot of people here! Sister-in-law, are you feeling better? Xu Chengjin went to look for you next door, but didn't expect you to be here."

In one sentence, he greeted all parties. The last sentence was directed to Song Wenyuan. After he finished speaking, he watched the servants behind him hand over the various boxes in their hands. Then he turned to look at the two girls beside him. One was quiet and unfamiliar, while the other was familiar. Both were active members in daily life. "Yu Qingqing, why are you here? Is that pony outside yours? I think only your Yu family can have such a good pony."

"Yeah." Yu Qingqing finished her chicken and started to drink the soup. She smiled proudly, "That's right. Grandpa sent two horses, one for me and one for Qianqian. Mine is called Benlei and hers is called Lightning. They are both good names."

Yes, the streets were filled with thunder and lightning… Young Master Jin smiled with his mouth twitching. He was lively and good at livening up the atmosphere. He was just thinking about greeting the somewhat reserved little girl, when he suddenly sniffed and his eyes were glued to the food box in Yu Qingqing's hand, "It smells so good! I'm just hungry, do you have any more?"

So, the reserved little girl threw all her thoughts out of her mind and drank the chicken soup directly from the bowl that Song Wenyuan had just finished drinking the medicine from...

Yuan Ge: ... This is unreliable. He didn't even mention the pony when it was delivered, and just focused on drinking the chicken soup! She was happy, but there were so many people around, and it would be bad to leave the guests in the yard to go see the pony, so she just told Lin Mu to take good care of it.

Song Wenyuan also reminded, "The horses of the Yu family are all BMWs. Have someone go to the Yu family's grooms to ask what kind of feed they eat and how to take care of them on a daily basis. Don't make any mistakes."

While helping Shiyin pack up the gifts sent by the Jin family, Lin Mu nodded in agreement. He thought it would be better for him to do this job himself. The young lady's blanket was more valuable than others, and her horse was naturally no ordinary horse. Instead of giving it to others, he might as well do it himself.

Xu Chengjin, who had gone to Qichi Pavilion but had come up empty-handed, heard laughter from across the wall and was about to go over when he saw a servant coming over with a bowl of medicine. He thought it was for Song Wenyuan to drink, so he stepped forward and said, "Give it to me, I'll take it over."

Unexpectedly, the servant smiled and shook his head, "Master Xu, this is not medicine for you. This is medicinal tea for Aunt Gui. I saw that she was well, so I brought it over."

Aunt Gui?

"You have had a lot of patients these past two days! Do you want to find a Taoist priest to exorcise the evil spirits?"

Xu Chengjin joked as he picked up the bowl of medicine and sniffed it. Suddenly, he frowned and sniffed harder as if he didn't believe it. The servant beside him was frightened by his appearance and confessed in a trembling voice, "Xu, Master Xu, is there any problem? This medicinal tea was prescribed by the young lady. Aunt Gui said that she had been dreaming and sleeping badly at night, and felt weak during the day. The young lady prescribed this medicinal tea for her to try... If there is any problem, let's not drink it, right?"

Every doctor has his own habits, and even for the same disease, the prescriptions he prescribes may be different.

Xu Chengjin has always felt that Yuan Ge is not really a proper doctor, but rather a poison doctor, so her prescriptions are easy to recognize, simple, direct, and effective quickly, but they also lack a bit of gentleness. Sometimes, she even likes to put some poison in to fight poison with poison. In short, her prescriptions are so pedantic that the people in the Imperial Hospital would pound their desks and wish they could faint from anger when they saw them.

This bowl of medicinal tea in front of you is it.

There are also shops selling medicinal tea in Shengjing City, but not many, and most of them are mild. He has never seen such a domineering prescription from anyone else.

Wen Qian also said that she was more or less a disciple of Yuan Ge, so it was understandable that they had similar methods, but Xu Chengjin couldn't help but tremble with his hands. Those absurd thoughts that even he himself felt were fantastical after calming down kept shouting and squeezing out all his rationality. He heard his uncontrollable voice asking, "Can I...can I see the prescription?"

His appearance was too abnormal, with a strange mixture of great sadness and joy, which frightened the servant so much that he turned and ran. Not long after, he snatched the prescription from Aunt Gui - he really snatched it, with Aunt Gui following him, panting.

Aunt Gui's idea was actually very simple. After all, the young lady was a beginner. The prescription she prescribed might not be very useful, but it would not make her sick. But who was Mr. Xu? He was a famous doctor who learned from Zhixuan Mountain and was praised by the imperial doctors. How could he be interested in this prescription for beginners? What if the young lady's face and enthusiasm for learning were ruined?

But she was old after all, and there was no way she could outrun the young servant, so the prescription eventually fell into Xu Chengjin's hands.

Aunt Gui is an elder in Qichi Pavilion. She usually takes good care of these kids. This matter involves Aunt Gui's safety, so she is naturally concerned.

The paper was neatly folded, with ink smudged on the back. The strokes were scribbled and sharp, and there was a round, thick black ink stain under each number, penetrating through the back of the paper. Xu Chengjin held the bowl steadily, but his other hand trembled violently as if it was burned, and the prescription slipped out of his hand and fell to the ground. He stood there with his eyes downcast, like a piece of wood.

The servant was also startled. He picked up the recipe and handed it over with both hands, cautiously testing, "Mr. Xu, it's inconvenient for you to read it while holding the bowl. How about I do it for you?"

Aunt Gui came over breathlessly, without even taking a breath to rest, and quickly snatched the prescription from the servant's hand, hurriedly stuffed it back into her arms, and then explained with an embarrassed smile, "This boy is ignorant, how can he bother Master Xu to look at the prescription? It's just a prescription for medicinal tea for beginners! Although I'm a beginner, I drank it twice and slept very well last night. I think it's of some use."

"Beginner?" Xu Chengjin's voice was as dry as two rusty and blunt knives sharpening each other. It rolled in his throat before coming out. "She...she told you so?"

How could such a sophisticated recipe be for a beginner?

Prescriptions can be imitated, but can those little-known habits that Yuan Ge herself may not even notice be imitated? Yuan Ge would check each prescription individually after writing it, whether it was for curing diseases or poisoning people. When checking, she would unconsciously pause under each number... Her prescriptions, without exception, had those ink spots.

For a moment, Xu Chengjin felt that his heart was beating as if it was hanging upside down on a cliff.
