Chapter Thirty-Six: Taboo Sister

  Ning Fengyi couldn't help but smile wryly as she listened, thinking to herself that her aunt was nothing compared to the truly formidable character - the soft and weak-looking tabby girl.

  But she is not worried, Yu Shi is now very different from the weakness of the previous life. Her husband is studying hard, her children are obedient, and she has taken care of some things, and also got praised by the old lady, releasing all the original confidence in her bones. The current Yu Shi is gentle and strong, and it's not inferior to Qu Feng and Yuan Shi at first glance.

  Just then, Xuan Ge put down his pen and said with a bitter face: "Sister, I'm tired, I don't want to write anymore."

  Ning Fibiao looked at the big characters he wrote and couldn't help but laugh. The curved lines on the paper seemed to be crawling like earthworms. Ning Che's hands were black with ink, so she put down the pen and ordered Yuer to take away the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone. A small maid from Madame Yu's room brought water, and she helped Ning Che wash his hands clean. Suddenly, Madame Yu asked, "What's wrong? You've stopped writing after just a while?"

  Ning Fengbi turned around and smiled: "Brother is not even five years old yet, what's the hurry? Can't even hold a pen properly, wrote those few words, but they don't make any sense. Auntie is also too eager for her son to become a dragon."

  "Who's hoping for a child to become a dragon? It's still your father, that day Proclaimed brother just took his brush to play, and randomly painted two strokes on the paper, he said this child has wisdom, let us not spoil him, these days which day did not let us watch Proclaimed brother write?"

  Ning Fibian shook her head and said, "Has Father been working too hard lately? Doesn't he know that wanting to rush things will only lead to failure, and that helping the shoots grow by pulling them up is a useless endeavor?" Before she could finish speaking, Yu Shi scolded, "What nonsense are you spouting?! It's all because your father has spoiled you rotten that you've become so arrogant, without even a shred of respect for authority. You dare to say that your own father is foolish? Ask anyone in this household, and even the older brothers wouldn't dare speak like that."

  Ning Fibian stuck out her tongue, and Lan Yiniang smiled and said: "Since Miss knows those principles, why don't you tell Master about it? Master has always been very fond of Miss. Even if I, a concubine, say something, Master may not listen to me. And even if Madame says something, she may not be effective either. It's still best for Miss to speak up."

  "Good, I'll talk to Father tonight," said Ning Xianbi with a smile. Just as she finished speaking, a maid outside suddenly announced, "Madam, your niece has arrived."

  Yu Shi and Lan Yiniang both stood up, personally going to greet them. Ning Fenbi also pulled Xuan Ge'er to his feet. They saw Ning Yulan and Bai Caizhi coming in from outside. Ning Yulan smiled and said: "It's been a while, but we haven't done anything else. First, we chatted with Old Lady in her room for a bit, then went to Big Brother and Second Brother's place. Now we've finally arrived here. Where is Third Brother? I heard he has been working very hard these days. Is he still studying diligently in the study?"

  Yu smiled and said, "It's not because the old lady suddenly became interested in reading books after hearing a single sentence." While speaking, she led Ning Yulan to sit on the kang in the inner room, and then told Ba Jiao, "Go tell Third Master that Madame has arrived, let him come back for a while."

  Here, the two sisters-in-law were talking, and Bai Cai Zhi was speaking with Ning Xian Bi on the ground. Bai Cai Zhi was outwardly gentle but inwardly clever, seeing Ning Xian Bi being cold and distant from start to finish, without any of the warmth that other girls would show. She couldn't help but feel suspicious in her heart. Suddenly, she heard Yu Shi laugh and say: "Don't be uncomfortable, Eldest Sister-in-law. Your Sixth Sister has always been like this, clear and cold, all the girls in the manor know about it."

  Bai Cai Zhi hastily responded, and Ning Yu Lan smiled: "Sixth sister is so big now, when she was just born, I happened to be in the capital and even held her. In the blink of an eye, six years have passed. I heard that she is now studying medicine with Third Old Master. Sister, why did you think of letting her study this? Not that I'm saying anything, sister, but for girls from our household, what's the point of learning such things? Isn't needlework and embroidery more important?"

  Yu smiled wryly and said, "Where did I let her learn? This girl likes it herself, and the old lady also said that the third old master was lonely in his later years. Having a child by his side would make things more lively. So it's been like this for these years." After finishing speaking, he heard the voice of the maid outside saying, "The third old master is back."

  No matter what she thought in her heart, on the surface, everything seemed harmonious. Bai Cai Zhi was not as silent and taciturn in front of Ning Fen Bi as she was in other rooms. When leaving, she held Ning Fen Bi's hand and smiled: "From now on, since we live close by, I can often come to play with Sixth Sister. Old Madame said that I should also study with the sisters at school. With Sixth Sister around, I won't be lonely anymore."

  Ning Xianbi smiled faintly: "We are all one family, I am a bit cold in nature, the other sisters are all good-natured, my cousin has come, everyone can accompany each other well, and also alleviate the loneliness."

  Bai Zhi's face turned slightly pale after hearing this, and she immediately lowered her head and replied with a "yes". In her heart, she coldly sneered, thinking to herself that he would never be able to deceive her again in this lifetime. She had no intention of taking revenge, all she wanted was for him to happily marry into the Rui King's household, and when that time came, it would be up to the Emperor to deal with the two of them. Hehe, the taste of being confined and having one's family property confiscated was not a pleasant one.

  Ning Yulan may have had some understanding of her situation, or perhaps it was because the days were still short, or maybe these years had smoothed out her temperament. In any case, she was more restrained than when she was a maiden, and although her residence was only separated from Bai Miao Yuan by a wall, everything was calm and peaceful, without any waves.

  Ning Xi was still running back and forth between the academy's apricot forest, she studied medical books with increasing diligence. In addition to the prescriptions from her previous life in her heart, she also wanted to combine ancient Chinese medicine with her knowledge of modern medicine to see if she could create her own prescriptions. Thinking that Ning De Rong was only in his fifties and had already created several types of pills, all of which were very useful and popular, she felt a surge of enthusiasm in her heart.

  Unfortunately, this era seems to have no glass, and without glass, it is naturally impossible to create a culture dish. She had also thought that if conditions permit, she might be able to manufacture some modern chemical medicines such as antibiotics, not too complex or high-level finished drugs, just those simple ones, which would probably be enough to stir up a storm in ancient times.

  For example, norfloxacin, also known as fluroquinolone, is a drug that is not very complicated to make and is a common household medicine in modern times. Most people use it to treat diarrhea, but in fact, this drug is a broad-spectrum antibacterial agent that is not only used to treat diarrhea, but also urinary tract infections, prostatitis, typhoid fever, and other conditions. In the 1980s, as a newly introduced drug, it had a certain therapeutic effect on nephritis.

  Similarly, many Western medicines that have been eliminated in modern times can also play a huge role in ancient times. Just like the kind of Western medicine "penicillin" often mentioned in modern war movies, this backward drug can no longer be found in modern times, but in those years of war, it was strictly controlled as a life-saving medicine and indeed had a huge effect.
