The Duke of Wei had also prepared two chests of gifts, all for Song Yaoyao.
After a moment's thought, Song Yaoyao accepted them all.
Song Yaoyao gave them a few more reminders, and then the Duke of Wei and his party left.
Once they were gone, Song Yaoyao counted the banknotes. There were a full hundred thousand taels. That was certainly generous.
Song Yaoyao casually handed ten thousand taels to Madam Song:
"Mother, the servants have been busy for so long because of Wei Wei's treatment. It's time we rewarded everyone.
Besides, feeding Wei Wei and his people and covering their daily expenses during their stay cost quite a bit of money.
Please take these ten thousand taels.
More people will be coming to seek treatment, so I'll have to trouble you to keep looking after their meals, Mother."
Madam Song had not intended to accept it, but since her youngest daughter had put it that way, she took the money.
Back when her youngest daughter had first been allowed to leave the residence, Madam Song had worried that she would want to buy every novelty she saw and squander her money, so she had taken it all to save for her.
Now her daughter was older, and Madam Song had discovered that she had a mind of her own and had never spent recklessly. There was no need to save her money for her anymore; she could keep it herself.
Madam Song also planned to find an opportunity to return all the money she had previously saved for her youngest daughter.
Looking at the banknotes in her hands, Song Yaoyao decided to give Li Mingyu, Zhuang Yiran, Pang Fei, and Imperial Physician Li ten thousand taels each.
They had all worked hard during this time, and they deserved it.
