"Xiao Yuan, how are you feeling now? Are you really feeling better?" As soon as he saw Lin Wanyue and Lin Weiming off, Qi Sichen couldn't wait to ask the question he was most concerned about.

Qi Yuan leaned against the bed, with a maidservant already placing a thick mattress behind him.

"Hmm... I feel much better now. It seems like I'm not as burdened as before..." Qi Yuan replied slowly, pondering the question.

He moved his body, as if the heavy, water-like feeling from before had suddenly disappeared, and his body regained its usual ease.

"Really?" Qi Sichen smiled happily. "It seems that little girl is really capable. This trip wasn't in vain."

He noticed that Qi Yuan's gaze was fixed on the Eight Treasures Ruyi Bowl placed beside him, and he remembered that it was the bowl of water that Lin Wanyue had prepared earlier.

He suddenly had a thought: Lin Wanyue had asked him to go to the pharmacy to buy Extreme Yang Water, but the person she sent hadn't returned yet.

Then... what's in this water?

"Someone, the young master hasn't eaten or drunk anything for a long time, he must be hungry. Tell the kitchen to bring over some easily digestible food," Qi Sichen said in a gentle voice.

The people in the kitchen were also brought from the capital and served them along the way.

Upon receiving the order, they immediately sent over a box full of food, all of which was easy to digest and had a delicious and appealing appearance.

Qi Yuan hadn't eaten all day, and although he was indeed a little hungry, he didn't think much of it.

As he ate, he thought of the little girl who called him "little brother." Her face was round and plump, like a freshly steamed meat bun, and she looked delicious.

She was much cuter than any of the rich girls he knew before.

Those spoiled little girls always liked to ask him for things.

Qi Yuan smiled secretly at Lin Wanyue, unaware that Qi Sichen had quietly replaced the auspicious eight-treasure ceramic bowl and handed it to the doctor to examine what was inside.

...

When the father and daughter returned home, it was already late, and Lin Wanyue fell asleep with her eyes closed in Lin Weiming's arms.

She was young and needed to go to sleep at bedtime, but she kept thinking about telling her grandmother and mother about making money.

We can't let Dad embezzle all the money!

To save money, the lanterns in front of the house were not lit except during festivals.

However, when Liu Junlan and Xue Fu heard someone open the door, they lit an oil lamp and came out. They were relieved to see that it was Lin Weiming and Lin Wanyue.

"Why are you so late? Mother and I were worried about you at home." Xuefu went to greet them and saw Lin Wanyue lying in Lin Weiming's arms with her eyes closed. She lowered her voice and said, "Are you hungry? Do you want me to cook you some noodles?"

"Just heat up the leftovers for him, I'll hold the baby." Liu Junlan walked over and took Lin Wanyue in his arms.

But Lin Wanyue vaguely heard the voices of several people talking, so she quickly opened her eyes and saw that it was indeed her grandmother and mother. She immediately smiled.

Her eyes were still half-closed, but a smile had already appeared on her face.

Several adults couldn't help but soften when they saw her adorable appearance.

"Grandma, Mother, we have so much money!" Lin Wanyue hugged Liu Junlan's neck and said with a smile.

Lin Weiming: "..."

This little cotton-padded jacket is letting in the wind!

There is absolutely no possibility of them not saving any money for their own fathers.

With Xuefu and his mother watching him so closely, Lin Weiming dared not hide anything and could only take out all the gold.

"Wow, so much money! Come on, let's go inside." The whole family's eyes lit up at the sight of the money.

Xuefu took the gold from Lin Weiming's hand and told him to quickly close the door so that no outsiders could see it.

Once inside and the door was closed, the family felt relieved as they looked at the gold on the table.

"How come there's so much money? What did that person ask you to do?" Xuefu swallowed and asked.

"Uh..." Lin Weiming scratched his head, feeling somewhat confused, and said, "I stood outside for a while, and it seems like we were asking Wanwan to treat his child, right? The child looked sickly, and it was thanks to Wanwan giving him a bowl of talisman water that he woke up."

"What illness does he have? Is it contagious?" Liu Junlan asked worriedly.

Lin Wanyue was already so sleepy that she only stayed awake until Lin Weiming gave all the gold to her grandmother and mother before she finally fell asleep.

Lin Weiming didn't know the specific illness either. He just guessed based on the fact that his hand accidentally touched the child's skin and felt it was burning hot, saying, "I don't know what illness it is either. It shouldn't be contagious, right? It seems to be a fever. The man is also in the room."

"Oh... their family must be incredibly wealthy! They treated a fever and got so much gold in return? There must be at least fifty taels of gold here. If it were silver, it would be four or five hundred taels!" Xuefu said, still somewhat incredulous.

She knew that her Wanwan was capable and blessed with good fortune, but how could she suddenly be showered with so much money?

Since they adopted Wanwan, their family has not only lived a good life ever since.

Xuefu thinks this kind of life should be called: "The good life of being hit on the head by money from now on!"

She wouldn't even dare to dream about it.

"I don't know. They're definitely not from our county. I bet they don't even have any relatives here. Otherwise, they wouldn't be spending so much money to stay in an inn." Lin Weiming pondered for a moment and speculated, "But judging from their demeanor, they don't seem like ordinary people. They must be powerful and influential. But since they insist they're from a merchant family, let's just believe them for now."

Xuefu and Liu Junlan both nodded, their eyes still fixed on the pile of gold.

Thinking about what happened tonight, Lin Weiming said, "You didn't go to see for yourselves, and their families don't know what's going on either. They're clearly two men, but they're both prettier than women."

"Don't talk nonsense!" Liu Junlan quickly interrupted him. "You just said that they might be from a powerful and wealthy family. Don't keep saying things like they look like girls. Since our Wanwan cured their illness, they will come back to us if they have the chance. If you dare to talk nonsense again, don't cause trouble for Wanwan."

"Mother, don't worry! I'm only saying this at home. I wouldn't dare to say it outside." Lin Weiming quickly assured her that he was definitely not that stupid and would never spread rumors outside.

The servants following the man were clearly skilled in martial arts; people from such families wouldn't dare to say a word for fear of being slapped!
