Ye Yun and others learned the identities of the old woman and others through the middle-aged man's mouth.
The old woman's name was He Xiuli. She was originally the most skilled embroiderer in the needlework room of the imperial palace in the capital. When she grew old, she invited herself back to her hometown.
On the way back home, I saw the pitiful He Zhanshan brothers. For a moment, I felt soft-hearted and thought that my adopted son had taken him back to the west county town and opened an embroidery workshop.
The embroidery workshop has long been famous in several cities around the West County.
He Xiuli had no idea of making the embroidery shop bigger, and she was even more secretive about the capital, as if it were some man-eating beast.
But their two adopted sons wanted to make their embroidery shop bigger and bigger, preferably by opening it in the capital and making it famous all over the world.
I heard that the Inspector Lan's family will meet in Dong'an City next door.
The two brothers wanted to take out the collection of embroidered clothes brought back from the capital by their adoptive mother He Xiuli and offer them to Mrs. Lan in order to get in touch with her.
The adoptive mother He Xiuli refused no matter what, and even wanted to expel them from the house and cut off all ties between them.
Dayi Zi gave up this path because he took her more seriously, and persuaded his younger brother to stop.
Unexpectedly, the little adopted son Quan was obsessed with it, so he suggested that the adoptive mother would relax if she thought he was terminally ill.
He Zhanshan believed him gullibly, thinking that he would be relieved if he took special drugs and coaxed him.
But he didn't expect that his brother had already exposed him and his wife, the biological daughter of his adoptive mother, to things that could contract smallpox.
They felt unwell and left home for medical treatment as soon as possible. Fortunately, they were young and they would be fine after three days.
Only then did he find out that his adoptive mother had been infected with smallpox. After his brother found out the whereabouts of the embroidered clothes, he immediately sold He Xiuli to human traffickers while concealing her illness.
When He Zhanshan and the two got the news, they ran around looking for it, but there were no clues.
Until Ye Yun and the others were looking for people who could survive smallpox.
"Little doctor Ye, we know we have already caused you a lot of trouble and we shouldn't push ourselves too far."
He Zhanshan and the others knelt on the ground with blushing faces, fully aware of their shamelessness and sincerely begged.
"My brother and his wife are so ruthless. Once they know that my stepmother is good, they will resort to bitter tricks to beg for forgiveness. They want to continue to take advantage of my stepmother's reputation and connections in the capital."
"Although the adoptive mother looks cold on the outside, she is actually very soft-hearted. When the time comes, the adoptive mother becomes soft-hearted and goes back. If she doesn't get what they want, I don't know what kind of inhuman treatment she will encounter."
"Please, young doctor, please take my adoptive mother in for a while. Once I collect the evidence of my brother's crime and send him to the court, I will come and take my adoptive mother back immediately."
His wife hurriedly added, "Of course I can't let you take me in for free. You won't be short of medical fees and thank you gifts."
Ye Wan resisted the urge to speak and lowered her head to pour water for the two people who had been talking non-stop since just now.
Ye Yun glanced at the eldest sister, whose ears were about to stand up and her attention was on her, shook his head and laughed.
"You don't need to pay for the consultation. My eldest sister is interested in embroidery and is worried that she hasn't found a good master."
Hearing this, Ye Wan raised her head happily and met her little sister's teasing gaze, her pretty face blushing slightly.
It turned out that the little sister could see through all her thoughts.
He Zhanshan and He Zhanshan were first happy about her agreement, then looked at each other with embarrassed expressions and hesitated to speak.
"My adoptive mother's eldest apprentice is my brother's wife. After suffering this double betrayal, I may have given up my intention to accept an apprentice."
"It doesn't matter. If you are sincere, you will be wise. You won't refuse to take in the old lady because of this."
Ye Yun waved his hand disapprovingly. Anyway, the elder sister's embroidery shop lacked a backbone master.
This is the place to sleep...it's a little crowded.
He Zhanshan and the others breathed a sigh of relief, and then they knelt down and thanked Ye Yun, who couldn't refuse.
After thanking him, they took out a thousand-tael silver note as the consultation fee, and hurriedly said goodbye and left the temple.
