Wei Chiyu went with her.

To put it nicely, her master was worried about her going to the prefecture alone. As her junior brother, he should be responsible for protecting her safety.

Zhou Xiaoli did not expose his true intentions. She brought some of the local specialties that Zhang Lan had prepared and set off for the prefecture.

Boyu Village was a certain distance from the prefecture. They set off in the morning and only arrived in the afternoon.

The carriage slowly stopped in front of a vermillion-colored gate. Wei Chiyu and Zhou Xiaoli alighted from the carriage one after another.

What greeted them was a mansion that was not too luxurious. The courtyard was surrounded by pink walls and green willows.

The coachman knocked on the door and explained the identities of Zhou Xiaoli and the other man to the servant who opened the door.

“These two are friends that Madam invited to cure the Eldest Young Master.”

The servant who opened the door scrutinized Zhou Xiaoli and Wei Chiyu. “Old Ma, you didn’t pick up the wrong person, did you?” he snorted with disrespect. Old Ma hurriedly said, “Don’t spout nonsense. They are the benefactors who saved the young master. They are Madam’s esteemed guests.”

The servant did not say anything else, but the contempt in his eyes remained.

He stepped aside and let Zhou Xiaoli and Wei Chiyu into the mansion.

Old Ma led the way and headed straight for Zhang Yan’s courtyard without any delay.

Although she did not know much about the Zhao Family, Zhou Xiaoli could guess that the relationships in the Zhao Residence were very complicated. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Zhou Xiaoli did not look sideways the entire time.

However, this doesn’t mean that trouble would not come looking for them.

“Halt!

At this moment, a slightly coquettish voice rang out, and they were blocked by a beautiful madam.

“Who are you? How did you get in? Why are you letting anyone into this residence? Are the guards dead?”

The lady sized up Zhou Xiaoli and Wei Chiyu with a look of disdain.

Old Ma quickly introduced the two of them again.

The lady raised her eyebrows and sized up Zhou Xiaoli and Wei Chiyu. The disdain in her eyes could not be concealed.

“This is the doctor that the Eldest Sister-in-law found to treat the Eldest Brother. They are dressed too shabby. If you didn’t say it, I would have thought that they came from some village to beg for food!”

Zhou Xiaoli was stunned for a moment. She lowered her head and looked at the clean clothes that she was wearing. Although it was not silk, it was not that sloppy, right?

It seemed that Old Ma had been specially sent by Zhang Yan to pick up Zhou Xiaoli, so he was quite proficient in dealing with these matters.

“Second Madam, although the two of them are simply dressed, their medical skills are very impressive. They saved the Young Master’s life back then.”

“Second Madam, if there’s nothing else, I’ll quickly bring the benefactors to see Madam. I’m afraid Madam will be anxious.’

With that, he bowed to the Second Madam and left in a hurry with Zhou Xiaoli in tow.

Second Madam Zhao looked at Zhou Xiaoli’s back and said disdainfully, “It seems that Eldest Sister-in-law is anxious because of Eldest Brother’s illness. Our family has hired many famous doctors for Eldest Brother, but they can’t cure him. I don’t know where she got this beggar from and whether they are meant to cure or to harm people.”

The maidservant at the side reminded her softly, “Madam, I’ve heard that there are often some divine doctors who live in seclusion among the commoners. Their medical skills are very outstanding. Perhaps they can cure the Eldest Young Master.”

Second Madam Zhao was obviously disdainful of them. “Didn’t you see the two of them? They are mere kids. How can they be divine doctors?”

Even though she said that, she still brought the maidservant and sashayed towards the Eldest Young Master’s courtyard.

On the other hand,

Zhou Xiaoli and Wei Chiyu arrived at Zhang Yan’s courtyard. Zhou Xiaoli had a sensitive nose, so she asked about the smell of medicine before entering the house.

Hearing the servant’s report, Zhang Yan ran out of the room excitedly.

“Sister, you’re finally here. Quick, follow me into the house.”

As she spoke, she pulled Zhou Xiaoli into the room.

“You’ve traveled for a long time, so you must be hungry. Take a seat first. I’ve prepared some food for you.”

Zhang Yan was not in a hurry to bring Zhou Xiaoli to see her husband. Instead, she asked the servants to bring food from the kitchen.

Soon, a servant came up with tea and snacks.

Zhou Xiaoli and Wei Chiyu had been on the road since morning and had not eaten anything along the way. They must be hungry.

Therefore, Zhou Xiaoli was grateful for it and settled down to eat. After giving the gift to Zhang Yan, she sat down.

“These are all specialties made by my family. They’re nothing special so I hope you would not mind me giving these to you.”

Zhang Yan smiled and accepted all the gifts. She said happily, “You don’t know, but I haven’t eaten smoked meat in a long time. I miss it very much.”

The nanny who was helping to keep the gifts also smiled and said, “That’s right. A few days ago, Madam was still nagging about it. Miss, you came at the right time.”

Zhou Xiaoli also brought over the strawberries she picked from her alternate space. Zhang Yan looked at the red fruit and was a little surprised. “What fruit is this? I’ve never seen it before. It is really beautiful.”

Zhou Xiaoli smiled and said, “I found these fruits on our mountain. They have a very special taste, so I planted some in the fields. I brought them for you to try today.”

The red fruit was so red and appetizing.

Zhang Yan pinched one and took a bite out of it. Her eyes widened. “It’s so fresh and delicious.”

At this moment, an untimely laugh came from outside the door.

“Hahaha, oh my god. Sister-in-law, what are you eating for you to be so excited about it.”

The smile on Zhang Yan’s face froze.

Zhou Xiaoli frowned as well.

In the next second, Second Madam Zhao walked in with a handkerchief in her hand. When she saw Zhou Xiaoli, she covered her nose, as if there was a smell on Zhou Xiaoli.

Zhang Yan smiled an insincere smile. “Sister-in-law, why are you so free to come to my courtyard today? What a rare guest.”

“Sigh, Sister-in-law, you can’t say that. I heard that you have found a divine doctor for our Eldest Brother, so I came to take a look. If our Eldest Brother can recover from his illness, it will be a great joy in our residence.”

Although she said that, there was no sincerity on her face.

She held her nose and looked at the local specialties on the table. Her disdain became stronger.

“It’s just that I didn’t expect Sister-in-law to invite these two people. The table of snacks that she ate was enough to pay off 10 piles of her so-called local specialties and wild fruits from the mountain.”

“Sister-in-law, please don’t tell me that she is your family’s poor relative who came to take advantage of you!”

Zhang Yan’s expression was not good. “Sister Zhou is my sworn sister and Brother An’s savior. Madam Niu, you’d better control your mouth. If there’s nothing else, please leave. Sister Li still has to treat your brother.”

Second Madam Zhao was unwilling to leave. She walked to a stool at the side and sat down. “Sister-in-law, I’m also concerned about the Eldest Brother’s condition. You don’t know this but my husband is very sad because of the Eldest Brother’s illness. If Miss Zhou can really cure the Eldest Brother of his illness, I can tell my husband as soon as possible and make him happy, right?” Seeing how shameless she was, she would not leave, that’s for sure. Although Zhang Yan was angry, she could not fall out with her. Hence, she pretended that she did not exist.

After instructing the nanny to keep the gifts from Zhou Xiaoli, she brought Zhou Xiaoli to the Eldest Young Master Zhao’s room..
