Song Pan'er was also paying attention to the movements of the Hu family.

  She had Old Mother Song send a clever young servant to buy off one of the underlings at the Taishou's mansion and gather information about the Hu family.

  Song's mother was unwilling: "It's almost done, you'd better hurry up and return the house to its owner! The owner is anxious, and you still want to ask about the excitement!"

  Song Pan'er smiled and urged Song Mama to hurry up: "The anger in my heart hasn't completely dissipated yet! You go quickly, send someone clever, don't let Mrs. Hu find out. Otherwise, we won't be able to watch the play, and she'll have a hold on us. She's definitely scolding me now..."

  Song's mother shook her head helplessly and went out to instruct.

  By the afternoon, there was news that Mrs. Hu had burst into tears and was beating her husband, Hu Taigong. The maidservants around her tried to persuade her but were also beaten several times.

  Everyone in Mrs. Hu's courtyard is living in fear for their lives.

  Song Pan'er listened with relish.

  "Go and ask again, go!" Song Xiang'er was not satisfied yet.

  The next day, the little servant who went to the Hu's house to gather news came back and said that Mrs. Hu had tried to hang herself the night before, scolding both the young master and the young lady, causing a big commotion.

  It's because of the chaos in the Hu family that it's easy for the young servant from the Gu family to gather information.

  Song Pan'er couldn't help but smile with joy.

  Gu Yanwen shook her head and said she was being unreasonable.

  Song Paner indulged in his own pleasure, ignoring his complaints, and continued to let people gossip.

  By afternoon, Mrs. Hu had calmed down. She still wanted to go out and had changed her clothes, calling for the servants to prepare the carriage when she was stopped by Hu Zeyu.

  Hu Ze Yu pulled her back, and she scolded him again, saying that Hu Ze Yu was being reckless, and also said that she wanted to settle accounts with the Song family.

  Song Pan'er smiled: "This is preparing to come and find me! If she dares to come, I will return her money in another month and see what she does! Almost starving to death, still dare to be arrogant?"

  When Gu Jinzhi came to pay her respects, Song Pan'er pulled her over and told her about the Hu family's affairs.

  Gu Jinzhi's prank on her mother made her laugh uncontrollably, and she also joined in on the fun.

  "Mother, are you going to return all the money to them?" Gu Jinzhi asked. Song Tian'er was like this, when she should be gentle and kind, she would instead be overbearing and not give an inch; but when she should be tough and ruthless, she couldn't bring herself to do it, so others often said she was willful and unreasonable, and never praised her for being warm and virtuous.

  How many women have swallowed their anger and humiliation just for a few words of praise?

  Song Pan'er didn't care.

  She just wants to live freely and comfortably.

  "I'll keep a thousand taels, that's your medical fee!" Song Pantou said with a smile. "The rest will be returned to them! I'm not someone who doesn't eat or drink, and I only wanted Hu Zeyu's money to teach the Jiang family a lesson. Now that the lesson has been taught, it's enough! If this gets out, my Song family will become known as greedy for wealth, wouldn't that be laughable?"

  "It's better to return all of it to them." Gu Jinzhi said from the side, "We saved Hu Jie's life, and Hu Ze will naturally thank us! You returned so much money, he'll be even more grateful, and when the time comes for him to repay us, it won't be less than 5,000 taels. We'll get a better reputation, and we can take even more money."

  This is indeed much better than taking up a thousand two first.

  Gu Jinzhai took the reputation of "saving lives without taking a penny", which accumulated prestige.

  Hu Zeyi saw that they didn't take it, and he would definitely send more to thank them. This was a repayment, not a consultation fee. At the time, he not only gave sincerely but also stored a grateful heart.

  Song Pan'er thought for a moment and suddenly understood. She hugged Gu Jinzhi in her arms: "You're really a little devil! Your medical skills are great, but your brain is even better!"

  Song's mother also took a look at Gu Jinzhi and said: "Seventh Miss is really clever!"

  She is much more clever than Song Pan'er!

  Song Paner is straightforward and doesn't have many tricks up her sleeve.

  In this regard, Gu Jingzhi is not like her mother. Song's mother was relieved: Song Pan'er has good luck, who can guarantee that Gu Jingzhi will be so lucky in the future?

  It's always good for a woman to be a little clever.

  For several days in a row, when Gu Jing went to pay her respects, Song Xiang'er would always tell her about the Hu family's affairs.

  Mrs. Hu went from initial anger, shock and sadness to gradually accepting the fact, starting to pack up her belongings, preparing to take her son and daughter to live in a rural farmhouse.

  "Hu Zhuoming said he would take the imperial examination next year, saying that there were too many people in his family and it was noisy, so the children couldn't study peacefully. He wanted to go to a villa in the countryside to study in seclusion; Hu Jieshen fell ill and was possessed by evil spirits, this house was unbearable to live in, and she also had to follow her brother. Jiang Shi took care of the two siblings." Song Pan'er said to Gu Jingzhi, "It sounds quite plausible!"

  Gu Jin smiled on one side.

  "Never mind!" Song Pan'er said, then told her mother, "Send someone to invite Hu Ze Yu over and give him all the money."

  Song's mother thought it wasn't right and said, "Since you're doing a good deed, why make such a big show of it? If you personally deliver it and say some nice words, wouldn't that be even better?"

  Having done good deeds, don't gain a reputation for being charitable!

  Song Pan'er's nose wrinkled slightly, she didn't want to go.

  Gu Jingze also smiled and said: "Let Father go! Isn't he always asking you to return the money? Give him a chance to be a good person."

  Song Pan'er thought for a moment and agreed, it was better than going herself.

  Then let Yatou Haitang personally go to the outer courtyard and call back Gu Yanwen, telling him what had happened.

  Gu Yanwen was naturally pleased and took the money box to go to the Hu family.

  On his way back, he said to Song Dang'er: "Hu Ze Yu almost cried!"

  Can't you stop crying? What about all that money?

  "He also said he would give 5,000 taels as a diagnostic fee, but I didn't want it." Gu Yanwen said, "However, he usually gets things done, probably tomorrow he will personally deliver it."

  Song Paner was very satisfied.

  The next day, Hu Ze Yu, Mrs. Hu and Hu Jie all came together, carrying gifts to thank Gu Jin for saving Hu Jie's life.

  "That day I said so many unreasonable words, Seventh Young Lady and you didn't take offense, saved Jie'er, this great kindness, can't be forgotten!" Madam Hu said, her eyes reddening, her voice choking, "I kowtow to thank you for your forgiveness!"

  If it weren't for those fifty thousand taels mixed in between, Madam Hu's gratitude wouldn't be so strong, would it?

  Song Pan'er smiled but didn't stop her.

  Mrs. Hu was not pretending either, and she quickly knelt down, giving Songteng three loud kowtows.

  Song Pan'er seemed to have noticed, hurriedly calling Song Mama to support her. She herself also stood up and said: "We were originally close friends, no need to be so polite, no need to be so polite!"

  "It should be!" said Mrs. Hu, and then had Hu Jie give a bow to Gu Jinzhi.

  Gu Jing took her hand and helped her up, saying "no need", then whispered in her ear: "I saved your life, so it makes up for the time I spilled tea on you when we were young, don't hold a grudge against me from now on."

  Hu Jie was taken aback and then said in a low voice: "It won't work!"

  Gu Jin smiled and took her hand, pulling her down beside him.

  As he was about to leave, Hu Ze Yu took out 8,000 taels and thanked Gu Jin Zhi for saving his life.

  Yesterday it was still five thousand taels.

  It can be seen that he is willing to give.

  Eight thousand taels is a large sum of money, but compared to his family's property, it's nothing.

  Madam Hu also said beside her: "Please accept it, Seventh Young Lady, otherwise I won't forgive myself!"

  If it weren't for the 50,000 taels, I'm afraid even 800 taels would be unacceptable to Mrs. Hu.

  Song Pan'er was also generous and took three thousand taels, leaving the rest to Hu Ze Yu.

  Hu Ze Yu and his family of three left with gratitude and tears.

  Song Pan'er had accepted three thousand taels from someone else, but Lady Hu still thought it was worth it. After all, Hu Jie's illness had been cured by Gu Zhenzhi. So she went around proclaiming how amazing Gu Zhenzhi's medical skills were in bringing people back from the dead.

  Adding to Mrs. Song's illness beforehand, everyone listening also thought it was true.

  As a result, someone came to visit Song Pan'er every day, wanting to let Gu Jinzhi take a look.

  These wealthy women, who rarely exercise and have minor ailments, are similar to the white-collar workers of later generations. They all have minor illnesses that are not life-threatening, so Gu Jing ignores them and goes to her grandfather's place to study.

  Not only Song Xiang'er can't be at peace, but also Old Master Gu's side can't be at peace either.

  People from Yanling Apricot Forest boundary come every day with a petition to see Old Master Gu.

  It can cure the stubborn disease that has been unsolved for hundreds of years, this is a big deal! Those noblewomen don't understand, but people in the medical field are crystal clear, they all want to know the secret formula.

  Mr. Gu refused to see anyone, but it was also very annoying.
