    She didn’t have as much money as the two maids, and she didn’t have any dignity at all. She had accumulated some while working as an errand in the Yu Mansion, but Wu An took all of it away.

    Hua Jin only took Xia Cao, Xia He and Er Ya out. In order not to be noticed, they rode in the same mule cart, while several guards from the village followed far behind in another cart.

    Erya really wasn’t exaggerating. Although this town was not as prosperous as the cities of Ganzhou and Suzhou, it still had everything it needed. The tea houses and medicine shops were crowded like ants, making it very lively.

    The two maids had hardly been out of the house, and they looked happy. Hua Jin wanted to show off and said to them: “I have two maids here to accompany me. You go and play your own tricks. You will come here to look for me in an hour.”

    Xia Cao and Xia He refused, but they still couldn’t resist Hua Jin’s instigation. When they came to Hua Jin that day, they didn’t care about anything else. Manager Yang only gave one order, that they must listen to Hua Jin’s words.

    The two maids went elsewhere, and Hua Jin was accompanied by the second maid. The guards were far away, and because of Hua Jin’s instructions, they did not dare to get too close to them.

    Hua Jin’s body, which was closed to the door, was naturally not as good as Erya’s, who was used to farm work. Hua Jin felt dizzy just after taking a few steps.

    Fortunately, there happened to be a tea stall in front of the pawn shop. Hua Jin saw it and said to Erya, “Sit there.”

    The two of them rested for a cup of tea. Hua Jin didn’t feel better yet, so she kept holding her forehead.

    “Madam, why don’t we go to the medical clinic and have a look.” Erya didn’t dare to neglect her when he saw her like this, “I can go and ask the doctor to come over.”

    “Then go ahead, it doesn’t matter, they are still there.”

    Hua Jin sat alone for a while.

    When Wang Erya came back, Hua Jin was still sitting at the tea stall.

    This woman’s dizziness was a common illness, caused by qi deficiency. The ordinary doctor could not figure it out, so he prescribed some prescriptions for replenishing qi and blood and asked her to take the medicine accordingly.

    Because Hua Jin was not feeling well, Xia Cao and Xia He hurriedly asked the servant to come back. Hua Jin clutched her chest in frustration, and the two maids turned pale with fright: “It’s better to go back to Zhuangzi first and let the doctor in the mansion examine her.”

    Hua Jin said: “I’ve probably been in the mansion and the village for a long time, and I’m still not used to it when I first came out. I’ll be fine if I take a good rest.”

    Naturally, I can’t go shopping anymore.

    After returning to Zhuangzi, Hua Jin refused to tell the doctor. She took a bath and freshened up, and ordered no one to enter her house and disturb her.

    Xia Cao and Xia He took away the clothes she had changed.

    “Xia Cao, you didn’t even notice that the toe of Madam’s shoes is about to be worn out. I will have to buy a few new pairs for Madam tomorrow.” Xia He said as he was packing his shoes.

    Xia Cao took it and looked at it: “Maybe this material is not good. It was stored in the palace. After all, Madam didn’t move around much at that time. You see it looks like a foreign object has passed through it. Go back and change it to some strong fabric.”

    In the room, Hua Jin, who was originally very ill, didn’t look sick at all. She took out the two banknotes and some broken silver from her arms and put them all in the box.

    It was the first time in Hua Jin’s life that she had actually touched so much money, and she felt a little proud of herself for a while.

    Even though Yang Su from Li Mansion had wrapped Hua Jin with her, and her body was inspected thoroughly by her mother-in-law, she might not have thought of it. She took advantage of the break when she went back to the house to change clothes, broke off three or four beads of the jewelry and hid them in her shoes and brought them out.

    Hua Jin was used to seeing good things, and she knew that the pawnshop owner next to the tea stall was clearly lowering the price today. Those beads were worth two hundred gold, not to mention two hundred taels of silver.

    The Longxi Palace has been established since the beginning of the previous dynasty. It has been rooted in the Longxi area for hundreds of years, and there is no worthless thing.

    But she was in a hurry to get rid of her, so she had no choice but to let others take advantage of her.
