Quick Wear: Salted Fish anchor always eats melons on the scene

Chapter 2230: Spring is not too late

"Want me to help?"

When the maidservant beside Madam Fang brought the news, Shi Li's eyes widened.

She didn't want to get involved in the Fang family's muddy water at all.

After a moment of silence, Shi Li gave the maid a handful of reward money and nodded with a smile, "Okay, thank you, young lady."

After sending the people away, Qiu Zi turned around and saw Shi Li with a serious expression on his face.

"We have to find a way to get rid of this matter, otherwise it will be troublesome in the future!" Shi Li pointed her finger next to the dressing table again and again.

Malingering?

Shi Li looked around the room and felt that this method was not very reliable and it was too obviously fake.

"Girl, how about taking a walk in the yard?" Qiu Zi saw what she was thinking and suggested quietly.

It was still a bit chilly outside at this time of night.

If he caught a cold while watching the moon at night, it seems reasonable.

Shi Li nodded excitedly, stood up and walked into the yard.

The moonlight at this time is still very beautiful, and it is not boring just walking in the yard and looking at the moon.

Qiu Zi even specially set up a table and chairs for her in the yard, then brought a pot of tea and some fruits, and winked at Shi Li.

"Girl, sit down and watch."

Shi Li followed the advice readily, but she didn't want to really get sick, so she pretended to be sick in the yard, drank half a cup of tea, and went back to the house.

The next morning, he arrived at Mrs. Fang's room early.

Mrs. Fang was waiting for her. When she saw her coming, she smiled eagerly, but she found that Shi Li's face turned pale.

"Why do you look so unhappy? Are you feeling unwell?" Mrs. Fang pulled her closer and looked at her with concern.

"It's okay, ma'am, don't worry." Shi Li pretended to be strong and shook her head.

But Qiu Zi beside her stood up at this time and said worriedly: "The girl took a walk in the yard last night. After returning to the house, she kept complaining of a headache and got up late this morning."

"What's going on? Go back and lie down. I'll get someone to call a doctor!"

Madam Fang was also really anxious. Even though she didn't like Shi Li and didn't want her to be her daughter-in-law, she couldn't help but care about her. After all, Madam Fang and Shi Li's own family background made her dare not neglect them.

Shi Li refused several times, but finally couldn't resist Mrs. Fang's insistence, so she stood up and apologized.

"Thank you for your kindness, madam. I wanted to share your burden, but I didn't expect that I was in poor health and made you worry." Shi Li's words were very comprehensive and no one could find any fault with them.

Afterwards, she sent someone to Madam Fang's room to apologize, saying that she was afraid that her illness would be passed on to Madam Fang, so she would not come in person.

Madam Fang, who was praying devoutly to Buddha, pondered for a moment when she heard this.

As an old woman, she became more shrewd. Her first reaction was that it was a coincidence. After a moment, she turned around and asked her confidant, "Do you think Shi Li doesn't want to take care of the affairs of the mansion at all?"

The trusted maid didn't dare to say much, she just said: "How could it be, only the mistress can manage the household affairs, cousin didn't understand and turned down such an opportunity."

"That's right, but this girl Shi Li... she didn't look like she was willing to stay here for long before, but she suddenly agreed this time."

Madam Fang still didn't quite believe it, and couldn't think of a reason, so she just said to the maid, "Take me to ask the doctor later if Shi Li is sick or not."

The doctor was specially invited in from outside by Mrs. Fang, but when he arrived at Shi Li's room, it was a different story.

Shi Li lay on the bed, looking weak as she let the doctor take her pulse, while Qiu Zi stood by her side.

However, the doctor did not see any problems from her pulse, so he frowned and looked confused.

Qiu Zi pretended to walk to the door unintentionally, looked outside, and seeing no one irrelevant, she immediately turned back and handed a silver note to the doctor.

"Doctor, has my daughter caught a cold? She needs to have a good rest for a few days?" Qiu Zi looked at the doctor without blinking.

There was nothing the doctor did not understand about these words and actions.

He was a little hesitant at first, after all, he was invited by the Fang family, and Shi Li's move was to ask him to lie to the Fang family. But Shi Li also spoke, and the next sentence made him completely change his mind.

"Ahem... My body was fine when I was in Jiangnan, but it has become much weaker since I came to the capital."

The doctor often came to the Fang family to treat patients. Naturally, he had heard of Shi Li's identity and also knew who Shi Mufeng was.

Looking at the silver note handed over by Qiu Zi, he made a judgment immediately.

"Don't worry, young lady. It's just a common cold. Just take good care of yourself. Old people always say it's hard to leave your hometown. Young lady, just adapt to the capital."

As he spoke, the doctor quietly put the banknote into his sleeve and said, "I will come back to see you in three or five days."

It's called a medical consultation, but it's actually about the follow-up and making some extra money.

Shi Li also understood, but this time when she came to the capital, Shi Mufeng was afraid that she would be wronged, so he gave her enough silver notes to support herself, so she didn't mind spending money to avoid disaster.
