In his heart, he sympathized with this innocent girl and thought that since they had met, it would be better to stay and see how her illness was. He Zhitong could only call Dalang to accompany Mudan, while he went back first. During the wait for the doctor, the host was preparing food for the newly arrived guests, and the aroma of rice wafted into the room, not only did Ahui, the maid, but also Cai Damao's stomach growl with hunger, both of them blushed and found excuses to make some noise or pretended to talk to avoid embarrassment.
Nor did she know how long the two had been hungry, Peony secretly sighed and pretended not to hear, turning around quietly to ask Yuhe to invite the host family to prepare some light and refreshing food that was easy to digest.
The doctor arrived, took Qin Niang's pulse and said it was a case of wind evil entering the body, stagnating in the heart. If not treated promptly, there would be no great harm. After writing out the prescription, he looked at Peony with a half-smile: "Prepare some light rice porridge for the patient, it's more effective than taking medicine, and she'll recover soon."
The implication is that she was both hungry and ill, and the real reason for her fainting spell was hunger. So saying, there's no great harm done, Peony put her mind at ease, saw Qin Niang wake up too, and asked: "Madam, do you want to go back to Yangzhou? If so, please rest assured and wait, in a few days someone from my family will be going to Yangzhou and can take you back."
Qin Niang's expression was still somewhat dull and wooden, unable to understand the situation, staring at Peony without speaking. Ah Hui's mouth was quick, and she explained the situation in a few words, only then did Qin Niang struggle to get up and pay respects to Peony. Peony hastily pressed her down: "You are a patient, if you don't take care of yourself like this, your illness will worsen, and our efforts will be wasted. Now that things are like this, the two of them are relying on you to make decisions, whether to go and report or return to Yangzhou, you must make up your mind as soon as possible."
Qin Niang suddenly burst out laughing, tears streaming down her face: "He looks like a ghost, I don't dare to despise anything. Early in the morning, whoever appears in the mirror with an evil spirit will be scared, right? I didn't despise him, but he despised me instead. 79 Free Web is so vicious. Even if I go to report it, what can be done? Will his family reopen their doors and welcome me back? That's impossible. Even if they really take me back, how can we live together peacefully? If there was still a place for me in Yangzhou, I would have gone long ago and wouldn't have stayed here."
The peony was a bit dazed, and patiently said: "Then what do you want to do? Don't you have any other relatives? This can't go on like this." Since she didn't want to return to her husband's home or her natal home, then she should start making plans early, either renting a house to live in or finding a way to make a living. Staying at the inn all the time and spending all her money wasn't a good idea, and ending up on the streets was even worse.
Qin Niang's eyes were dark and deep, saying: "I have an older sister named Duan Da Niang, she is very talented, but unfortunately, we don't share the same father. She resents my mother for remarrying and doesn't associate with us, but before I got married, she came to see me once and asked if I wanted to follow her. Unfortunately, at that time, I was blinded by foolish thoughts, thinking that marrying into a family in the capital city was a great fortune, and suspected that she had ulterior motives, so I rejected her. Now it seems, the one who is truly blind is me."
Peony silently listened to her pour out her heart, and patiently said: "Then where does she live? Otherwise, you write a letter, I'll ask someone to help you send it, and let her come pick you up?"
Qin Niang shook her head and said firmly: "No need, I don't have the face to see her." After a moment of silence, looking at Peony, she asked: "What is the little girl's name?"
Yu He only gestured to Peony, hinting that she should tell Qin Niang easily, so as to avoid trouble later. Peony hesitated for a moment and said softly: "My name is He Weifang, everyone calls me Peony or Dan Niang." From the performance of Ahui and Cai Dama when they were hungry earlier, she felt that it wouldn't be anything despicable.
Qin Niang closed her eyes: "Now I can only manage to thank you with a bow, but don't let me do that for you. It's all free on the 79th website, and if there's an opportunity in the future, I'll definitely repay it. If not, just consider it a charitable donation to the temple, after all, it's still a good deed."
Peony couldn't help but laugh and cry at her words, seeing the medicine had been fetched, and also seeing that she was hinting at sending him off, so he stood up and said: "Then I'll head back first, tomorrow... tomorrow I'll come over again to see you. First prioritize recovering your body before anything else."
The man had already walked to the door when Qin Niang suddenly shouted: "Why are you helping me like this?"
At this time, it was around 4-6 pm, and most people were not around. The store was quiet except for some noise in the kitchen. Peony looked up at the faint clouds in the sky and felt a sense of peace. She turned to Qin Niang and said softly, "I was curious at first, but later I realized that I also... No matter what, we must live well." She had already recovered from her previous shock and feelings. After all, a second chance at life is not easy to come by, so she cherished it. Cherishing the beauty in life, cherishing others' kind smiles and words of concern, made life worth living. Otherwise, having wealth and status would be meaningless.
Qin Niang obviously didn't have a peaceful look with Peony, coldly smiling: "Yes, no matter what, I must live well first. Since heaven doesn't want me to die and lets me come back to life again, I must live well, otherwise it would be a waste of my parents giving birth to me in this world!"
Peony nodded, got up and walked out. She held Qin Niang's attitude very strangely, saying that she was desperate and weak, but it didn't seem like it. Saying that she was strong and open-minded, even more so. But there is one thing that is certain, this Qin Niang is not a person without a plan.
As the figures of Master Peony and his servant disappeared into the distance, Qin Niang gazed at the black lacquered canopy of the mansion, saying to Ah Hui and Cai Damao in a measured tone: "If this grudge is not avenged, it would be a waste of being human!"
Cai Danni's old tears flowed freely: "Niang, let's go to Danni after all. She has a wealthy family and will take care of her relatives, why stay here and suffer?"
Qin Niang stubbornly turned her face away: "I won't rest until this matter is settled, I have no face to see people!"
"What can you do then?"
Qin Niang sneered coldly and stroked her own pretty face: "He appreciates me, of course someone will cherish me. You all just wait and see."
Dalan had been waiting outside and didn't follow them in. When he saw Mudan come out, he quickly led the horse over and asked with a smile: "How was it? Is she going to return to Yangzhou with the group?"
"Peony shook her head: 'She won't go. Nor will she sue her husband's family, nor does she want to flee to her mother's house, and I don't know what she wants either. Just now I was about to ask if she knew how to do needlework, but then thought it wasn't a good idea to ask. Let's just wait and see for now.'"
Dalong said: "That Yan Balang is really unreasonable. If it were me, I couldn't swallow this breath to go."
The peony in her heart moved slightly, wondering if Qin Niang had already made up her mind to take revenge without saying a word. But how could this weak woman, who was struggling to make ends meet, possibly take revenge? She said: "Brother, she mentioned that she has an older half-sister named Duan Da Niang, who is quite capable. You often go to Yangzhou, have you ever heard of such a person? Although she's unwilling, let's help her send a letter anyway. What do you think?"
Dalong furrowed his brow: "Yangzhou has a famous Duan Daniang, I once saw her from afar, and the difference between her and this Qin Niang is huge. Could she be her relative? If not, I'll send someone with a letter to test it out tomorrow?"
"What's so special about her hair?"
He smiled slightly: "She has the largest and best merchant ships, going south to Jiangxi and north to Huainan, we've all been on her ship before, do you think she's famous or not?"
The peony spat out her tongue and said, "If it's really her sister, she won't ignore it. Brother, remember this matter, even if it's not for the convenience of our family being her family's boat in the future, it's also accumulating virtue."
Dalang agreed, sent Peony back home and left to look for He Zhizhong and Fourth Brother in the East City tavern. His father didn't return home until just before the city gate closed, supported by a young servant, completely drunk. Peony saw that both Big Sister-in-law and Fourth Sister-in-law looked unhappy, so she took the initiative to bring Yuhu to the kitchen to prepare a hangover soup and brought it up to help Mrs. Cen give it to He Zhizhong. Seeing He Zhizhong holding Mrs. Cen's hand with a silly smile, Peony finally couldn't help but laugh and retreated downstairs.
On the second day, Peony reminded Dalang again to ask Sun to accompany him to see Qin Niang. Qin Niang and her servants had already left, taking all the money left by He Zhizhong, but without leaving any message. Yuhua was very angry: "This person doesn't understand etiquette at all, Master and you helped her, she should have thanked us, where did she go? She should have said something! How could she leave so quietly? We probably met a swindler."
"Stop talking nonsense. Although I don't expect her to repay me, didn't she tell me early on? If there's an opportunity, I'll definitely repay her; if not, then it's just a donation to the temple. Whether it's true or false can be verified by asking around at Tongshantang."
Yu He Guo really made me go and ask around, after coming back he said: "It's indeed true that there is such a thing, not many people have seen Qin Niang, but whoever has seen her all feel sorry for her. That Yan Ba Lang, is indeed extremely ugly, as long as it's a person, if they suddenly see him at night, they will definitely be scared half to death."
At night, Dalang returned and said that the letter had been sent out. Peony let out a light sigh, knowing she was powerless to do anything, and slowly forgot about it.
In a twinkling of an eye, six or seven days had passed. One day it was drizzling, and the family was having breakfast when Li Yi came rushing in excitedly.
