Seeing this, the old man felt snubbed. He could only turn around and go back to his room.
However, in the middle of the night, Feng Jiu went out quietly to the Old Madam's courtyard in the East Manor. She told her during the day that she would come to treat her body at night. She only needed to be treated using needles for three days and take medicine for a few days to eliminate her physical ailments.
The old man knew Feng Jiu left her room. When he came out to take a look and saw that she was going to the East Manor, he went back to sleep.
Only one trusted maid was left with the Old Madam in the East Courtyard to keep watch at night. When she entered the courtyard, the trusted maid beside the Old Madam retreated and stayed outside the courtyard.
