Madame Fu, the manager mother of the capital city's main family, and the biological mother of the Seventh Miss Ye Jinyan.

Jin Lan was not worried about Madame Fu's identity and schemes, rather, he was worried about the fact that Madame Fu was born in a medicinal family. That year, the Old Master of the Fu Clan had coincidentally cured the Prince Consort of the First Princess, which was why they had formed a good relationship. Although it was not comparable to the famous doctors of the current world, it was still possible to differentiate between the ordinary people and the ordinary people.

Right now, the Madame Fu had taken time out from her busy schedule to condescend to rely on Plum Garden to visit Yue Yang. This must have been the Old Ancestor's idea. Otherwise, how could a junior like her receive such "honor"?

This time, the Madame Fu would probably not be so easily fooled.

Jin Lan felt a little guilty. His hands and feet, which originally lacked strength, became even softer now. Wan Ju and Bi He's faces were also filled with panic. They did not know that the Madame Fu was an expert in medical knowledge, but they were worried about the identity of the Madame Fu and the possibility of him infiltrating the Jin Lan Gang.

Mama Shang looked at the medicine that was about to be fried, she turned and walked to the bed, her gaze calm, "Miss, Eldest Wife came to visit, and couldn't compare to other people, you have to be more careful, if you are not careful and get over your illness, it will not be good."

A series of deep words stabilized Jin Lan's originally chaotic state of mind. She looked at Mama Shang and her eyes regained their clarity, "Mama is right." Then, he pretended to cough twice, and weakly ordered Wan Ju: "Quickly go and invite Aunt Tang over."

Jin Lan's calmness made the two maids feel as if they had found their own way. They hurriedly hid the panic in their eyes and opened the door as usual, just in time to see Mama Wu accompanying Madame Fu into the western wing's Dazzling Spring Sect.

"Greetings to Eldest Wife." Wan Ju welcomed them and paid her respects to the Madame Fu.

"Get up, are you girls better?" Madame Fu waved her hands and without stopping, she walked straight into the door.

Wan Ju quickly got up and opened the curtain, then said with a smile: "Reporting to the Eldest Wife, young lady is preparing to drink the medicine right now." She only said that the young lady wanted to drink the medicine, secretly indicating that the time was not right for the Madame Fu to appear.

These were the words that Mama Shang had specially taught her before she left. Firstly, it was to prevent her being nervous while telling lies from accidentally falling into the trap; secondly, it was to prevent Madame Fu from understanding the depths of their abilities.

With regards to this shrewd Eldest Wife, Jin Lan and the Mama Shang were fully focused, and did not dare to underestimate him in the slightest.

Just as Madame Fu was about to enter, she shot a glance at Wan Ju, and said with a glint in her eyes, "This girl is quite a coincidence."

"Thank you, Eldest Wife, for your praise. How could I compare to the sisters by your side?" Wan Ju replied softly, lowering her head with her chest down. She raised her hand high up, just in front of her slightly trembling eyelids.

Taking the chance that Wan Ju had caught the Madame Fu, the Mama Shang had already finished cooking Medicinal Juice and poured it into a white porcelain bowl, which she placed on a small bowl. She also didn't remove the medicine jar from the bowl because she wanted to make the room smell like medicine.

When Madame Fu entered, the warm spring air, mixed with the smell of medicine, rushed towards her. Mama Wu could not resist using a handkerchief to cover her nose, but she did not change her expression.

Mama Shang came out from behind the screen, coincidentally blocking the entrance between the bed and the screen, "This servant pays his respects to Eldest Wife."

"It was originally Mama Shang." The smile on Madame Fu's face became wider, and she glanced at the bed which only revealed a little bit of Jin Lan's messy hair, "Mama is an old man by the ancestor's side, how could she commit such a crime? It had always been the job of the pharmacy to fry medicine. The medicine boys there all knew a bit about medicine, and they also knew how to handle the fire and make the medicine just right. Mama had secretly brought the medicine back, and had even left the pot of medicine inside the house. If this continues, how can I allow you to rest and recuperate in peace? "

As expected, Madame Fu was not easy to deal with. She used the smell of the medicine in the room to make an article, and not only did she break the rules, she even secretly smelt medicine in the room to test for Jinlan's illness. Since she had used Wan Ju's little trick just now, and was able to disrupt the other party's thoughts, killing two birds with one stone.

Jin Lan resisted the urge to turn his head to look, and clenched his small hands into fists under the sheets.

"Eldest Wife is right." Mama Shang had already expected that Madame Fu would mention this matter, but she was not flustered at all. She maintained a straight face and explained in a deep voice: "Just now Imperial Physician Wang's prescription said that Miss must drink it when it is hot, and the pharmacy is very far from the Plum Garden. With the cold weather added on top of that, by the time the medicine was ready, it would probably be cold. That's why this servant made the decision on my own, and placed the medicine inside the room. Firstly, it's convenient to take care of it, and secondly, it's so that this young lady can take the medicine in time according to Imperial Physician Wang's instructions. "

No matter if it was the Imperial Physician Wang's words or his actions, they were all perfectly round. If she insisted on holding onto his words, it would inevitably make people feel that she was deliberately making things difficult for him.

Moments later, the smile on her face faded.

Seeing that, the Mama Wu hurriedly interrupted: "Even though it's like that, you can't hold back your breath. The entire room's medicinal smell, I'm afraid even the young lady wouldn't feel good about it."

"This matter is also my fault for thinking too much." Mama Shang glanced at Mama Wu who was standing up, "But this servant had no choice, when Imperial Physician Wang was opening her meridians, Sister Wu was there, Imperial Physician Wang said that you must not get typhoid fever, if you open the door, I'm afraid …"

Her neither fast nor slow words caused Mama Wu to be at a loss for words. She turned furious, but she still continued to smile, "I forgot, I forgot."

The Madame Fu was not in the mood to get entangled with the Mama Shang, she was the one in charge of all the matters in the house, there were even a lot of Mama s waiting for her to reply and claim their tags, she was busy all day, if not for the Old Ancestor personally asking her to come, how would she have the time to visit a young lady?

She immediately withdrew her smile and said indifferently: "Since that's the case, you guys follow Imperial Physician Wang's words and take good care of this lady, don't be careless."

"Yes." Mama Shang replied respectfully, her body moved slightly to the side, opening up a path. She did not expect that the Madame Fu would return home just because of these words. She only wanted to buy some time for Jin Lan so she could settle down and fight the Madame Fu.

Whether he lost or not still depended on Jin Lan's performance in the end.

Just as Mama Shang finished speaking, before she could take a second step, she heard a weak voice say, "Bi He, hurry up and help me up."

"Ah?" "Yes!" Bi He only regained her senses after being stunned for a moment, and quickly reached out to help Jin Lan up.

"What is this?" Madame Fu had already walked to the bed, her fair and plump hands lightly lifted the drapes hanging on the silver hook, but there were some curtains hanging down, causing Jin Lan's red face to jump into his eyes, "Quickly lie down, your body isn't well, so there's no need to be so polite, what if you freeze after standing up?" As he spoke, his face had changed to one of concern.

Even though sshe said that, how could Jin Lan take it seriously? Madame Fu was so concerned about the juniors, if she really treated him as a fake, he was afraid that she would become a person who took advantage of him. But at this time, she was indeed in a difficult position to get up from, so with Bi He's support, she made a 'blessed' position on the bed, and drooped her head gloomily: "Thank you for your concern Aunt, when Lan Er is fully recovered, I will definitely kowtow to Aunt." Then she continued: "Wan Ju, look at this, Bi He, quickly serve some tea to Aunt."

Wan Ju immediately brought the round plum blossom chair to the bedside and placed a embroidered cushion on it. Just as Bi He moved, he saw Mama Shang bringing a fresh tea tray with red lacquer carved flowers.

Madame Fu slowly sat down and accepted the cup of tea. She then placed it on top of the small bowl and swept her gaze across the white porcelain bowl with the Medicinal Juice s, then started to carefully study Jin Lan. She had a listless look, her eyes were unfocused, perhaps because of a fever, her cheeks were burning red, her lips were dry and covered with scabs, and she looked extremely weak.

Her eyes flashed and she held the soft hand next to the pillow. She felt that it was scalding hot. She sighed and said lovingly, "Poor child, to be this ill." As he spoke, he placed his finger on her pulse.

Jin Lan knew that the Madame Fu was trying to find out more about her, and although she was prepared, she couldn't help but panic when the matter was about to come to an end. At the moment, she did not see it, nor did she look away. She simply sized up Madame Fu's attire, and used it to avoid the probing gaze.

Madame Fu had obviously received orders from the Old Ancestor at the last minute, and was in a hurry to come here. She was dressed in a golden robe with peach blossom patterns, and was tied up in a ponytail. Her hair was sparkling with jade, and there were quite a few bracelets on her body. According to the memories of her past life, this should be the attire of Madame Fu's morning manager.

It seemed that the Old Ancestor's suspicion of her illness was not all that high. He was so impatient to have the Madame Fu come and investigate, causing Jin Lan's heart to sink even further.

The smile on Madame Fu's face did not change, but her eyes gradually became cautious. Although she was not as skilled as the physicians of the Grand Hospital, but it was possible for her to have a deep cold poison in her body. From the pulse, typhoid fever could not be considered serious, but her bones were not like that of an ordinary person's, and it was inevitable that it would drag things down a little.

Jin Lan touched upon the serious heaviness of the Madame Fu, and immediately felt a sense of unease in her heart. She pretended to move her body, moving her wrist which was lightly gripped by the Madame Fu, and spoke naively: "Aunt, do not worry, Lan Er is not afraid to drink medicine. As long as you drink medicine on time, it will be alright."

Madame Fu's mind flashed, the corners of her mouth curled up, and she let go of her hand, saying amiably: "Girl Lan may be young, but she is still so sensible. If Jinyan is half as obedient, I am relieved." While sighing, she suddenly stretched out her hand towards Jin Lan's face, looking like an elder caring for a junior.

Jin Lan's pupils constricted. Her face was powdered, and could not find anything wrong with it, but when she touched it with her hand, there was no limit to it. With Madame Fu's shrewdness, he could definitely guess her little scheme.

What should he do? Madame Fu's hand kept getting bigger in front of her eyes as her heart felt like it had fallen into an ice cave …
