Ms. Gao Lei didn't mention the prescription but instead chastised Ji Zhenniang: "Being timid, useless, and prone to tears. You're only lucky that someone protects you; otherwise, you'd have been swallowed alive by the world."
She spoke to Ji Zhenniang along the way, bringing her to tears, though Ji Zhenniang dared not cry audibly.
At parting, she commanded: "Tomorrow wake up at the time of Mao. At the end of Mao go to the pharmacy courtyard to help. If you dare slack off, I have ways to deal with you."
"Granny Lei..." Ji Zhenniang's voice carried a sob, trying to beg for mercy, but Ms. Gao Lei didn't listen at all, waving her hand: "Stop the nonsense, otherwise I'll give you more tasks."
Ji Zhenniang immediately stayed silent.
After Ms. Gao Lei left, she grabbed Gu Jinli's hand and cried, blaming Gu Jinli: "If I'd known, I wouldn't have waited for you halfway. It's all because I waited for you that I encountered Granny Lei, got scolded, and now have to work."
