Manbao lay on his back, saying, "We're hardly through yet. This time the teacher was really angry."
After carrying Manbao back home, Zhou SiLang washed his hands and ate his dinner before applying ointment to the little hands. This was a medicine she had tried making herself before, but because it was a practice attempt, Doctor Ji had disdained it as not good enough, so he had given it to Manbao to take home.
But she also never had the chance to use it until now; she opened a jar and divided it into three portions, with some left over.
Just as the medicine was applied, a servant from the Bai Family came over with a packet of medicine, "The young master sent this for you, saying it's herbs for soaking feet. There are plenty in the family storeroom, so he sent some over to Miss Man."
Ms. Qian received it, and after asking Manbao, she began preparing the foot-soak.
