Wu Qin got her wish to stay with the Wu Family. Since Yu Xiumin had to look after the children, she roped Wu Qin into doing the chores, making her cook meals and stew fish soup. Wu Qin, for her part, was quick and capable. While working, she seized every opportunity to run to Lin Aizhen and curry favor, putting in a good word for Wu Xiaowen. She repeated what she had told Gu Shaoling, telling Lin Aizhen not to believe Tang Manman. That claim about not having the herbs? A complete lie! She insisted she could get those high-quality herbs herself. Once they were mailed from her hometown in the South, all her grandparents had to do was take them to Tang Manman and have her prepare them according to the prescription.
'Of course, this would put Tang Manman in an awkward position. She'd probably be embarrassed and ashamed, right? But that can't be helped now. Who told her to lie in the first place? She clearly has the herbs but insists she doesn't, deceiving the elderly. How unfilial!'
