Then she hurriedly followed with an umbrella.

Jia Hui got into the carriage, looking at Cheng Shaoshang, who was shivering and had a pale little face.

He frowned slightly.

In ancient times, a cold was no small matter; countless people died from wind-cold.

So Jia Hui immediately said in a deep voice: "Send her back to my mansion first and ask Doctor Hua Tuo Tuo to treat her."

Then he took off his coat and draped it over Cheng Shaoshang.

Xiao Yuanyi was already very anxious, and upon hearing his words, she immediately agreed: "Okay, I'll listen to you."

"Don't worry, Doctor Hua Tuo Tuo is a divine physician; with him here, it'll be fine."

Jia Hui sat in the middle, one arm around Cheng Shaoshang's shoulder so she wouldn't fall over or hit her head in the carriage.

The other arm was around Xiao Yuanyi's slender waist.

Comforting his beautiful mother-in-law.

Xiao Yuanyi blushed slightly, but his words successfully achieved their effect; they were like magic, calm and composed, giving people a strong sense of persuasiveness.

She nodded gently.

Afterward,

the carriage hurried the three of them back to the Marquis of Wushuang's mansion.

Zhao Yun, Cheng Lian, the eighteen Snow Dragon Riders, and Qingwen and the other women all followed.

Not long after,

they successfully returned to the Marquis of Wushuang's mansion.

Then the carriage didn't stop.

It continued straight inside.

Soon they arrived at the Eastern Road courtyard.

In a quiet courtyard that was uninhabited but fully equipped with bedding and everything else, ready for immediate move-in.

Jia Hui personally carried Cheng Shaoshang into the room and laid her down.

Xiao Yuanyi naturally wouldn't say anything about this.

After all, Cheng Shaoshang was already Jia Hui's concubine.

However, after laying her on the bed,

the remaining care work, such as changing Cheng Shaoshang's wet clothes, was handled by the maids.

Jia Hui didn't leave either.

He watched openly.

Xiao Yuanyi gave him a slightly reproachful look, but didn't say anything.

As her mother-in-law,

she was basically his lover already.

So what was there to say?

Not long after,

after Cheng Shaoshang changed her clothes, Doctor Hua Tuo Tuo arrived.

Jia Hui felt more and more how practical Doctor Hua Tuo Tuo was.

It was really great to have such a divine physician.

The other party had acted many times and helped a lot.

Doctor Hua Tuo Tuo didn't say much, directly performing the pulse-reading with a thread.

Then he immediately said to Jia Hui: "Master, it's just a mild wind-cold, nothing serious. I'll go grab a few doses of medicine now, and then send them over after they're boiled."

"Good!"

Jia Hui nodded with satisfaction.

Doctor Hua Tuo Tuo then took his leave.

He looked at Xiao Yuanyi, who was nervous on the side, and smiled:

"I told you it would be fine, are you relieved now?"

"Hmm..."

Xiao Yuanyi was indeed relieved, and then she looked at Jia Hui with ripples in her heart.

This man always provided help when she needed it most.

Her daughter went missing, and Cheng Shi and his family were all unreliable.

It was Jia Hui who found her.

Her daughter fell ill, and it was Jia Hui's people who solved it as soon as they acted!

This made Xiao Yuanyi's heart burn like fire.

The heavy rain outside

not only didn't extinguish it,

but made her burn even more.

Jia Hui was surprised.

Then he didn't stand on ceremony.

"Has my husband returned?"

In the backyard, looking at the heavy rain outside,

Qin Keqing frowned.

Worried that her husband had been rained on.

Fortunately, at this time, Qingwen and the others came to report.

This made them breathe a sigh of relief.

Soon after, Qin Keqing asked curiously: "Where is my husband? Did he go to have a meeting with Mr. Chen Gong and the others?"

Lin Hongyu, who came to report, explained: "That Fourth Young Lady Cheng ran away from home, and Madam Xiao begged the Marquis for help. The Marquis sent people to find her, but she seems to have a wind-cold now and is resting in a courtyard. The Marquis is still visiting and taking care of her with Madam Xiao."

Qin Keqing, Lady Yan, Lady You, and the other women were speechless upon hearing this.

At this time, Zhao Paner had already returned a step earlier.

She said with a smile: "This Madam Xiao is actually quite good; the husband seems to like her very much, and even gave her a silver card worth three thousand taels."

Qin Keqing and the other women were surprised, but didn't care; each of them, the concubines, had a higher-level platinum card, and Qin Keqing even had a supreme diamond card!

Mentioning the membership cards, all the women now knew how popular and profitable Jia Hui's shop was!

They all worshipped Jia Hui to the ground!

Even Li Zhangge on the side was shocked to death: "Earning over five hundred thousand in one day, wouldn't that be at least fifteen or sixteen million a month?"

What kind of concept was this?

The current annual fiscal revenue of the Great Dry.

Was only around 30 million taels.

And Jia Hui's monthly income was equivalent to half a year's national treasury income!

Every year, the imperial court spent no less than 6.7 million taels on disaster relief alone, and 1.5 million shi of grain.

Military pay was several million taels.

And there were various other miscellaneous expenses; the palace expenses alone were one million taels per year.

Over the year, it was fine in previous years, but now, because of the surrounding enemy countries, war expenditures were increasing day by day, and they were often in deficit.

Of course,

they didn't know how much the cost was, thinking that Jia Hui's products had extremely high costs.

They didn't know exactly how much he earned.

However, Zhao Paner excitedly told Qin Keqing and the other women: "Madam, sisters, the husband said that his business is all pure profit; the membership fees alone cost nothing, and the membership cards are worthless, pure profit! And the cost of other products isn't high either, so most of it is still profit!"

【397】 Keqing: Sister You, how about your two sisters entering the prefecture to become my husband's concubines?
