Chapter 12: The Wenyong Bo Estate Shrouded in Yellow Smoke

Tang Chuyao saw many matrons, maids, and young servants arriving at Tang Chuying’s courtyard, and in broad daylight, the door was actually closed.

Now, she noticed yellow smoke seeping through the cracks of the window, accompanied by an indescribable foul odor.

This group of people couldn’t care less and directly broke the door open…

Then came the sound of retching one after another, “Ugh~”

“Ugh~”

…

“Haha, hahaha…” Huang Xiaoyu laughed until her stomach hurt.

Tang Chuyao looked at her helplessly, just as Dujian came in.

With an excited expression, she said, “Miss, Sister Huang, Gu Huaifeng has been discovered!”

“The two of them appeared in the courtyard disheveled, shocking everyone!”

Every time Tang Chuying was intimate with Gu Huaifeng, she liked to use some aphrodisiac incense; she had merely added a bit of soft bone powder to the incense.

Although Gu Huaifeng’s skills were not particularly good, he was more than capable of handling such sneaky affairs.

Without the soft bone powder, those young servants of the Wenyong Bo estate would not have been able to catch him!

“Miss, can you guess how the old madam is doing? And it’s also very interesting with Concubine Mei and the master!”

Before Tang Chuyao could speak, Huang Xiaoyu said, “Isn’t it just like Tang Chuying? Farting in the room!”

Dujian then recounted the experiences of the old madam and the others.

The old madam of Rongjintang had gone to rest after lunch, and since she always burned calming incense while sleeping, it was unclear why this time the calming incense was so effective that she slept until the afternoon.

When the old lady finally opened her eyes leisurely, a terrible stench rushed into her nose, nearly choking her!

“Ugh~”

The room was filled with yellow smoke, making it impossible to see anything around.

It was said that the old madam’s room had particularly good sealing, so even Granny Zhao hadn’t noticed anything unusual.

By the time Granny Zhao realized something was wrong, the old madam had fainted by the door, one hand still pointing toward the door…

Concubine Mei was entertaining Zhang Juren in the front hall with Tang Youze, having heard that they wanted to invite Zhang Juren to be a teacher for Tang Chunan.

This was already the eighth teacher Tang Chunan had changed!

Unexpectedly, while the three were talking in the front hall, a series of indecent sounds suddenly erupted. Tang Youze initially wanted to shift his embarrassment onto Concubine Mei, but she suddenly covered her mouth and nose, distancing herself from him.

This made Tang Youze very displeased; just as he was about to explain, Concubine Mei let out a series of farts.

Before Tang Youze could feel happy about it, the couple began to duet…

It was said that the entire front hall was filled with an indistinguishable haze!

After Dujian finished speaking, Huang Xiaoyu was laughing so hard she was almost rolling on the ground…

At that moment, Yinghe walked in, holding a sachet, “Miss, this is the sachet I sewed.”

“Aunt Yinghe.” Tang Chuyao took Yinghe’s hand and helped her to sit down at the table.

Yinghe was anxious and wanted to stand up but was pressed down by Tang Chuyao’s hand on her shoulder.

Tang Chuyao sat beside Yinghe, “I lost my mother when I was young, and it was Aunt who raised me. Until I went to Xiaoyao Valley at three years old, Aunt brought Dujian along with me.”

“In my heart, you are even closer than family!”

“Aunt and Dujian should not always be like this in front of me.”

Yinghe’s eyes turned red; she happened to be out on errands when the young lady passed away, and by the time she returned, the young lady had already died…

The young miss was raised by her, and to say something disrespectful, she felt like her own daughter.

She felt heartache for the young miss’s plight; if it weren’t for the young miss and her daughter, she might have followed the young miss as well…

“Alright…” Yinghe nodded in agreement.

Tang Chuyao felt a bit more at ease and held onto Yinghe’s wrist.

“System, how is Aunt Yinghe?”

Tang Chuyao had been communicating with the system these days and found it to be a true “know-it-all”!

Not only did it understand medical principles and pharmacology, but it also knew astronomy and geography!

She was so excited!

Including the gas-releasing powder she had made recently, it was also taught to her by the system!

As long as she had enough medicinal materials, with the system’s help, she could create various poisons!

Of course, she could also treat people.

The system would assist her in diagnosing patients.

She just needed to conceal the fact that she had a system.

After all, there’s a saying: “A long illness makes one a doctor!”

She had been ill for three years, so she had some understanding of medical principles, which was understandable!

“Yinghe’s body is fine; it’s just that years of hard work have led to her unstable sleep, back pain, lack of appetite, and decreased immunity.”

Tang Chuyao could understand most of this, so she continued to ask the system, “How can we adjust her condition?”

“It’s simple. You can make calming incense, which helps with sleep, and then prepare a medicinal bath. Regular medicinal baths will improve her back pain, and for her lack of appetite, she can take some herbs that strengthen the spleen and stomach!”

Hearing the system’s words, Tang Chuyao breathed a sigh of relief, then said to Yinghe, “Aunt, I’ve been taking medicine for many years and have read some medical books, so I’ve become somewhat knowledgeable about medicine. In my opinion, your condition is due to years of hard work.”

“I will prescribe some medicine to help relieve your pain and also make some calming incense so you can sleep more peacefully every night!”

Yinghe’s eyes were filled with surprise; the young miss had accurately described her symptoms.

As a servant, she felt it unnecessary to trouble the young miss with her own issues, especially since the young miss was also having a hard time in the estate…

In recent days, she had noticed the changes in the young miss; she had finally returned!

The young miss, who had been meek and submissive for three years, was truly not like her usual self!

With tears in her eyes, Yinghe nodded and smiled, saying, “Yes, yes, I will listen to the young miss’s arrangements!”

Wiping her tears, Yinghe remembered the sachet and cautiously said to Tang Chuyao, “Young miss, please take this sachet!”

“Don’t let others pick it up!”

“Women’s personal items are related to their reputation…”

Tang Chuyao quickly waved off Yinghe’s words, smiling as she said, “Aunt, don’t worry!”

“Besides, the sachet in Gu Huaifeng’s hand wasn’t given to him by me! Trust me, Aunt!”

“I trust the young miss!” Yinghe said with relief.

After Tang Chuying’s embarrassing incident, Tang Youze ordered the servants not to let it leak; otherwise, he would not be polite!

So, there was not a whisper about Tang Chuying and Gu Huaifeng’s affair.

Tang Chuying was in a very bad mood!

“Bihua??”

Bihua hurriedly walked in, looking cautious, “Miss.”

Tang Chuying frowned, “Why are you standing so far away?”

“Do you dislike me?”

After saying that, she threw the teacup in her hand heavily at Bihua.

Bihua didn’t dare to dodge, and her forehead was immediately struck, leaving a deep cut that started to bleed.

“What about lunch?”

“How long has it been? Do you want to starve me to death?”

Bihua quickly went to urge the kitchen.

As a result, when Bihua reached outside the kitchen, a familiar yellow smoke appeared, and she felt something was off.

Sure enough, when Bihua covered her mouth and nose and went in, she found the cook inside bent over, holding her stomach, with farting sounds coming one after another.
