411 Madam Qiu’s Gift of Thanks (2)

Shen Yijia noticed that Sister Huan kept looking behind her as she walked. She asked curiously, “What are you looking at?”

Sister Huan scratched her head in embarra.s.sment. “I heard from them in the academy that Madam Qiu almost went yesterday. She was saved by a girl surnamed Ji.”

“As soon as Madam Qiu woke up today, she asked someone to invite Miss Ji to the academy. She seemed to want to thank her in person,” Lin Miaomiao added.

In the past, they did not understand, but after staying in the academy for a day, they quickly knew how high Madam Qiu’s status was.

Not to mention her talent, just the fact that the current empress dowager was her good friend showed that.

Although the empress dowager had not returned to Chang’an’s capital for a long time since the late emperor left, she was still the empress dowager.

Besides, how could Madam Qiu’s grat.i.tude be as simple as a simple thank you? This was a life-saving favor!

“Did you see the carriages parked there just now? They’re all specially waiting there to see who this Miss Ji is,” Sister Huan said, her eyes flas.h.i.+ng with curiosity.

Shen Yijia found it funny. “Why? Do the two of you want to take a look too? Why don’t you go back and see it before going home?”

Sister Huan paused and said obsequiously, “I don’t want to. Anyway, that person is definitely not as good-looking as Sister-in-law. I’m not curious at all.”

Lin Miaomiao also hurriedly nodded in agreement.

There was only one sentiment written on their faces. Sister-in-law was the best-looking!

Shen Yijia snorted. She finally let the two little bootlickers off, but she was overjoyed.

Her beautiful husband was the most handsome, so she had to be the most good-looking.

On the academy’s side, Madam Qiu specially asked the maidservant to dress her up to show her respect for her benefactor.

Although she was over 50 years old, it was not difficult to tell that she was a beauty when she was young.

“Madam, Miss Ji is here.” A female servant hurriedly walked in and reported.

Madam Qiu was originally leaning against the soft couch, but when she heard this, she sat up. “Hurry up and invite her in.”

Soon, the maidservant led a young girl in.

When Ji Yunxi treated Madam Qiu yesterday, she was still unconscious. Afraid that Emperor Chong’an would look for her, she left a prescription after the acupuncture.

After waking up today, Madam Qiu clearly felt that her body had become much better. She no longer felt like she was about to faint from time to time.

Moreover, being sick all year round made it difficult for her to even get out of bed and walk. However, it was different today. She walked around the courtyard twice and did not feel tired.

She also heard that Miss Ji had been asked to come over yesterday and thought that it was the effect of her diagnosis.

To Madam Qiu, every time she fainted, she might never wake up again. It was worth living another day. She never thought that there would be a day when she would recover.

She naturally wanted to see her savior. In fact, this was the first time Madam Qiu had seen Ji Yunxi.

“Greetings, Madam.” Ji Yunxi stood still and bowed.

She was confident and also a smart person. For example, Great Xia, she would never act as arrogantly as she did in the Valley of Heavenly Secrets.

However, she would not grovel. At the very least, she would never forget her manners.

Madam Qiu’s smile froze for a moment.

“Madam, this is Miss Ji,” the nanny guarding her reminded her softly.

Madam Qiu reacted and looked at Ji Yunxi apologetically. She waved for her to sit beside her.

Ji Yunxi did not seem to notice her loss of composure just now. She smiled and walked over to sit down.

Madam Qiu admired her natural appearance. She held her hand and said lovingly, “I heard from them that it’s all thanks to you yesterday. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have woken up.”

“Yunxi was just entrusted by someone. Besides, Madam is a good person. Even without Yunxi, you will definitely live to be a hundred years old.”

Speaking of this, Ji Yunxi found it strange. It was rumored that Madam Qiu was seriously ill, but the pulse she took yesterday did not seem to be that of a terminally ill person.

At most, her body was a little weak. It was not as serious as the rumors said.

She had come with the secret medicine yesterday, but because Madam Qiu’s body did not need it, she did not use it at all.

She even suspected that Madam Qiu had been pretending to be sick previously, but from the reactions of these people, it was obvious that she wasn’t.

It seemed that Madam Qiu had really recovered because of her.

Moreover, from Madam Qiu’s physiognomy, she was indeed not a person with a long life, but there was a part she could not see through.

Thinking of this, she shook her head and suppressed that ridiculous thought. It wasn’t easy to change one’s fate. It was already rare to have Song Jingchen as a variable. It was impossible for Madam Qiu to also have such a fortuitous encounter.

However, since these people wanted to give her the credit, she naturally wouldn’t stupidly decline.

Saving Madam Qiu was equivalent to letting Dean Lu owe her a favor.

Behind Dean Lu were tens of thousands of students.

She spoke modestly, but she had no intention of denying it.

The smile on Madam Qiu’s face faded a little. Unfortunately, other than her nanny, no one could tell.

“You don’t have to comfort me with these words. I know my own body best.” Madam Qiu patted her hand.

She turned to look at the nanny beside her. “The empress dowager gave me a set of ruby noodles previously. Go and get it.”

The gift from the empress dowager was naturally expensive, and it was given by Madam Qiu. No matter how one looked at it, this gift was extraordinary.

Ji Yunxi was overjoyed, but she did not show it on her face. She quickly said, “Don’t worry.”

Madam Qiu comforted her. “It’s my duty.”

Nanny had already noticed that Madam Qiu’s expression was off. Now that she heard her instructions, she found it even stranger.

Ji Yunxi was invited by Madam Qiu. Knowing that she was coming, she naturally prepared a gift long ago.

Madam Qiu had personally gone to the storeroom to take it out. It was a set of the Four Treasures of the Study that she had treasured for a long time and a set of her favorite calligraphy.

She couldn’t even bear to give that set of Four Treasures of the Study to Dean Lu.

Now, she was asked to get some noodles. The nanny was puzzled, but she did not dare to say anything.

She turned around and left with a strange expression.
