Mama Li replied, "Madam, we both know what kind of person Fourth Miss is. Even if the sachet was made of gold, it was unlikely for Fourth Miss to rob it. Unless there is something wrong with this sachet?"

Mama Li started to link the incidents together, "Madam, don't you think that after Fourth Miss robbed Miss Ke's sachet, old woman Hua suddenly went to Rose Courtyard and then she went out to find a physician? In the afternoon, after Imperial Physician Le came over, old woman Hua suddenly went back to Ye Residence in a hurry. What this old servant thinks, every incident seems to have something to do with this sachet."

Mama Li replied, "Fourth Miss didn't want you to be worried, so she decided not to tell you."

Mama Li was really powerless when it concerned Qiu s.h.i.+'s impatient nature. It was her Master's good luck that Old Madam had given her the task to manage the residence all these year, and her shortcoming was considered as not that much of a problem.

Yuxi nodded and said, "Most likely."

Yuxi chuckled, "You think too much. Even if it was a coincidence, if it weren't for me, the child would be in danger of miscarriage. Dasaoeldest sister-in-law¹and old woman Hua would only be grateful to me for this matter. As for the Ye family, what do they have to do with me?" If it weren't for her Eldest Aunt, how would she be willing to get involved in this muddy water?

At the same time, the two heard Kufu raised her voice as she asked, "Madam, why are you here?"

Qiu s.h.i.+ went into the study, leaving only Zisu and Mama Li waiting on them. While the others, all had been waved out. "Yuxi, tell me honestly, did something happen today?"

Qiu s.h.i.+'s expression was very ugly. Mama Li asked curiously, "Fourth Miss, how can you be so sure that there is something wrong with that sachet?"

Everyone looked at Yuxi in unison, as they found her to be very impressive for her ability to smell even the most peculiar smell.

Zisu was quite impressed with Yuxi's response. Her Miss didn't plan to tell Madam about the truth from the beginning till the end.

Qiu s.h.i.+'s face tightened when she heard Yuxi's words, "Yuxi, what problem will incur if your Dasaoeldest sister-in-law¹smells the sachet?"

Qiu s.h.i.+ took Yuxi's hand and chided, "You, this silly girl. You must tell me the first time you come across such a thing in the future, do you understand? This matter is so big for you to personally handle it."

Qiu s.h.i.+ and Yuxi chatted for a while before Qiu s.h.i.+ went back. It was impossible for her to find the Ye family regarding this matter, but she must find out the matter clearly, "When old woman Hua comes back, ask her come to the main courtyard first."

When Madam Ye heard that old woman Hua had come back to the residence, she was startled. When she saw old woman Hua, she hurriedly asked, "Is there something wrong?" Bless Bodhisattva, hoped there was nothing wrong with that child.

Hearing that it was not her daughter who had a mishap, Madam Ye felt relieved. "Then, why did you come back in such a hurry? Did something happen in the state residence?"

Old woman Hua took out Ke Minjie's sachet and handed it to Madam Ye.

Old woman Hua lost her temper as she said, "Madam, Fourth Miss have studied pharmacology. At that time, she smelled something wrong with the sachet, which was the reason why she took the sachet from Miss Biaofamily relations.h.i.+p via females³. "

Old woman Hua told her what Yuxi said, and then she relayed what the in-house physician and Imperial Physician Le said. Old woman Hua had trepidation remaining after a traumaChinese idiom : have lingering fears⁵up till now, "Madam, if it weren't for Fourth Miss, the child wouldn't have been able to be preserved. Imperial Physician Le said that Miss's womb is severely cold, and it was lucky that Miss had been pregnant with this child. If there is any problem with this child, Miss will not be able to have any more children."

Old woman Hua was not foolish. How could she respond to this question? She just stated, "Imperial Physician Le said that if Miss kept smelling this smell, the child's life may not be able to survive within a sichen2 hours⁶. Madam, these herbs in the sachet have a very weak smell, and there is already the smell of medicine in Miss' room. If it wasn't for the fact that Fourth Miss had studied pharmacology and also quite sensitive to medicines, we wouldn't have found them." Old woman Hua's remarks were a bit at sixes and sevensChinese idiom : in an awful mess⁷, but there was an implication in these remarks that it couldn't be just a coincidence.

Old woman Hua said with a wry smile, "Madam, I think the Duke of the State's Madam has already known about this matter. She currently has no evidence and it is impossible for her to find the Ye family for this matter, but Miss Biaofamily relations.h.i.+p via females³must never go to the state residence again." Old woman Hua did not believe that Yuxi would hide such a big thing for her Master, so regarding Qiu s.h.i.+ would know about it, it would be in a matter of time. .

Old woman Hua shook her head. "The Imperial Physician said that Miss should not be stimulated, so I kept this matter from Miss." In case the stimulus was excessive and as a result, the foetus could not be protected, then it would become a real reason for them to cry.

Since Old woman Hua got her answer, she went home feeling satisfied.

Madam Ye, who had recovered from her deep thought, picked up the sachet on the ground and instructed, "Go and fetch Miss Biaofamily relations.h.i.+p via females³." After she had done saying that, Madam Ye sighed. Although she told old woman Hua that it was probably a coincidence but she knew in her heart that this incident was not a coincidence. No one knew better than Madam Ye. Although Ke Minjie did not understand medicine, the biological mother of her wet nurse, old woman Cui, was an old woman who could cure, and old woman Cui knew some pharmacology as well. Thus the herbs in the sachet were 100% made by old woman Cui.

What Madam Ye wanted to know now was whether this matter was Ke Minjie's own suggestion or whether she was instigated by old woman Cui. If this was really Ke Minjie's suggestion, why did she do it? She asked herself if she hadn't treated Ke Minjie well and nowadays, she was still racking her mind to find a good husband's home for Ke Minjie.
