Madam Li held her back and said, "Just lie down and be well. You will have plenty of opportunities to thank Madam."The doctor sat back on the bed and nodded gratefully: "Thank you, Madam!"
Nanny Li nodded and walked out of the back room.
When she arrived at the lady's yard, Fu Nanyao was talking to her mother.
Hearing footsteps, Wan Niang turned her head towards the sound: "What's going on?"
"The girl has woken up and taken the medicine. She also asked me to help her thank the lady." Nanny Li reported truthfully.
"What happened?" Fu Nanyao gently patted her mother's shoulder, "Where did this girl come from?"
Wan Niang patted her daughter's hand and said, "A woman fainted at the gate of the mansion. She was beaten by her husband. I asked someone to call a doctor. That's it. As for where she came from, I haven't asked yet."
"Mom, did you think of me?" Fu Nanyao asked softly.
Wan Niang nodded: "If I can help, I will."
"Mother, is that woman young?"
"Why do you ask that?" Wan Niang asked Li Ma, "Do you think that woman is young?"
"Madam, that girl is less than 20 years old and still very young," said Madam Li softly. "From what I saw just now, she seems to be well-mannered."
Fu Nanyao sighed: "It's not that I think too much. It was really when I was in Qingshan Town that the maid who came to my door had a purpose. When I arrived in the capital, Hua Hong beside me..."
As she encountered more and more things, she had to be more cautious.
Her brothers were all handsome, and now Ali was even more handsome. If a young woman entered the mansion and had some thoughts, it would be troublesome.
Their conversation was overheard by Fu Beimo who was striding over.
He said loudly, "You've invited a doctor to see him. Does that mean he has to stay in the mansion to recuperate? My brother doesn't like outsiders in the mansion. I think we should send him to the clinic."
Nanny Li said quickly, "Master Beimo, the woman is seriously injured and has a high fever. She will probably need to rest for a few days. There are doctors in the clinic, but there is no place to stay and no one to take care of her."
"I still need to take care of him?" Fu Beimo was surprised.
Wan Niang sighed: "Bei Mo, let me teach you how I taught you in the past. We will help you as much as we can."
"Oh, wait until the woman's injuries are healed, and then let her go."
Fu Beimo looked at Nanny Li as he spoke.
Nanny Li nodded in agreement.

The rain has stopped.
The air is refreshing.
Yan Funing took Caiyu, Li Xinheng and Liu Chengwen to East Third Street.
After her marriage, she had hardly ever been to East Third Street. When she arrived at this moment, many shopkeepers came to congratulate her.
Yan Funing nodded one by one and asked with a smile: "How is business lately?"
"Business is getting better day by day." Tong Cheng said with a smile, "I am very busy at the end of the street."
Everyone agreed.
Liu Song also said: "The restaurant's business has doubled, so the table turnover rate must be increased, otherwise customers will have to queue up."
"That's good."
Yan Fu gazed at the gold and silver shop that was beginning to take shape across the street.
I thought that once the Gold and Silver House opened, the entire East Third Street would become a relatively outstanding street in the capital.
After all, they were all doing business. The shop owners exchanged a few words with Yan Funing and then returned to their respective shops.
It was time to prepare the food, so Yan Funing went to take a look in the kitchen.
"The young shopkeeper." Tietou took the lead and shouted, "The young shopkeeper is here."
Hearing the voice, the busy cooks looked towards Yan Funing and greeted her with a smile.
She nodded: "Everyone continue to be busy."
I glanced around and saw a few unfamiliar dishwashers. There were men and women, all younger than I'd seen before. It would have been fine if they were just washing the dishes and vegetables, but whenever they had some free time, they would glance at the cooks cutting vegetables and preparing ingredients.
With doubts, Yan Funing went to find Liu Song.
"Uncle, has the restaurant hired new people?"
"We did hire people. Business is good, but we are short of staff." Liu Song admitted, "I wanted to hire cooks and waiters, but they said they could handle it. I thought that since the cooks cook and the waiters serve the dishes, they don't have to wash the dishes, so I found some people to do the cleaning."
At this time, Xiang Yang came over and said, "Young shopkeeper, there is actually something that the shopkeeper has not told you. The shopkeeper said that the young shopkeeper is getting married and asked us not to disturb you."
Yan Funing frowned: "What happened?"
Liu Song sighed: "In the past month, Fufeng Restaurant has come to poach employees many times, not only chefs, but also waiters."
"I was approached by them twice, and I rejected them both times." Xiang Yang patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, young shopkeeper. I will not leave. I will follow you all my life."
Lu Pin also came over: "I have been approached by Fufeng Restaurant three times, and they always said they would pay me a high price. They took me for a fool, so I won't leave."
Chengwen Building is his home, how can he leave?
Yan Funing's eyes narrowed. "Fufeng Restaurant is here to spy on the recipes. You are the people who have been with Chengwen Restaurant since its establishment. They are poaching you. The ultimate goal is the recipes."
Liu Song said, "Yes, I thought of that too. There have been many applicants for the positions of cook and waiter in the past month, and I rejected them all."
Although business is good, the staff and cooks are able to make ends meet by doing their jobs.
"Thanks to our people, they couldn't poach them. Even if they wanted to sneak someone in to steal our fists, it would be impossible."
Liu Song added.
"Not good!" Yan Funing lowered her voice, "Uncle, it's right to be cautious with the cooks and waiters, but when it comes to washing dishes and vegetables..."
"What do you mean?" Liu Song frowned.
"I just observed that they kept watching the chef cook while they were washing the vegetables."
"Oh no, so they are all spies?" Liu Song was furious.
"Let's deal with it today without further delay," Yan Funing ordered.
"Yes."
Liu Chengwen, Caiyu and Li Xinheng rolled up their sleeves.
All three of them were strong men, and they went into the kitchen without saying a word.
All the newly hired vegetable washers were taken to the courtyard.
"What's going on? Hey, what's going on?" a man shouted.
"It's fine if you just wash the dishes and vegetables properly, but why do you want to peek at the chef cooking?" Liu Chengwen grabbed the man's collar and said, "Tell me, what do you want to do?"
“I saw they cook well and wanted to learn how to cook for my family when I get home. Is that not possible?” the man argued.
Li Xinheng clenched his fists: "Not telling the truth?"
The man was obviously not afraid: "We are all honest workers. What do you want to do? Is there any law in the world? How can a small Chengwen Building treat its employees like this?"
Yan Funing looked at them carefully.
Although the five people in front of him were all wearing their own clothes, the color of the fabric exposed at the hem of their outer clothes was the same.
The weather is cold and winter is coming soon, so we need to wear more clothes.
But it's strange that the clothes inside are made of the same material.
She waved to Liu Chengwen, Li Xinheng and Caiyu, and the four of them went into the private room and whispered a few words.
Back in the courtyard, Liu Chengwen and the other two forcefully ripped open the collars of the five dishwashers.
As expected, the words "Fufeng Restaurant" were embroidered on the fabric on their chests.
Yan Funing asked coldly, "You can't poach people from Chengwenlou, and you want to come in as a cook or waiter, so you come here to be a dishwasher?" (End of this chapter)
