"I came here today to cook your favorite dishes for you. You haven't eaten your favorite dishes for a long time. You have been completely bewitched by a little vixen. But your daily menu is formulated by experts and is good for your body. You can't just give up the recipe you are used to! I am your mother. No matter how you treat me, I still have to do what I should do, so that you all don't think that I treat you badly!" Duan Si's tone was full of anger and sarcasm.
Mu Ci scoffed, "The dishes I like to eat?"
He raised his eyebrows and looked at Duan Si, "Mom, do you know what kind of food I like to eat?"
"I, of course I know!" Duan Si's voice weakened, and he sounded very unjustified.
Mu Ci sighed softly, "Thank you, Mom, but no thanks. I don't have a good appetite and don't feel like eating. Please go back. There's no need to make such a long trip just for a meal. I'm not that proud, nor that important."
While Duan Si was distracted, Mu Ci walked around her and pulled Zhou Shuo into the elevator.
Liu Ming stayed and stayed beside Duan Si, "Madam, why don't you go see the old man first."
He found a way out for Duan Si - to go and complain to the old man!
This has always been the Madam's best trick, but no matter what kind of trick it is, it has no effect on Mu Ci.
Zhou Shuo placed his hand gently on Mu Ci's shoulder, but said nothing.
Mu Ci patted her hands and said, "It's okay, I'm used to it. Let's go take a look at your cabinet. If it doesn't fit, take the one from my study. If that doesn't work, we can design one ourselves. I'm sure you'll be satisfied!"
Zhou Shuo felt very bad and wanted to explain. "Brother, I just wanted to find a suitable cabinet. We don't know what the cabinet means. It's my fault."
Mu Ci reached out and rubbed her head, laughing: "Silly! This is your own home, everything is yours, you have absolute control! You are the owner of this house!"
Mu Ci accompanied her to clean up, watching her put the bottles and jars in the cabinet. As she put them in place, she explained to him what medicines they were and what their functions were.
Mu Ci didn't understand and couldn't remember these unfamiliar professional terms, but he liked to see her busy like a little squirrel and chirping like a little sparrow.
The things were quickly packed up. Zhou Shuo clapped his hands, took a few steps back, looked at the cabinet in front of him, and asked Mu Ci with satisfaction: "What do you think, brother?"
Mu Ci smiled and nodded, "It looks good!"
He pointed to a small, inconspicuous purple porcelain bottle in the corner, "You said that contains Xuejin pills?"
Zhou Shuo nodded, "Well, there are only two pills left. I need to save some herbs and make a few more pills when I have time, in case of emergency."
"What herbs do you need? I'll ask someone to buy them for you." Mu Ci said immediately.
Zhou Shuo smiled and shook his head, pushing Mu Ci out. "Some things are hard to come by. Xuejin Pills are precious because they are hard to come by. Several herbs need to be picked at specific times of the year and prepared and preserved using special techniques. Then you have to wait for the next herb to appear. It takes at least five years to gather them all, and at most you can make ten pills each time. I already have some stock on hand, so I have two years left to make ten more."
Mu Ci exclaimed, "I'll have someone put a safety lock on your cabinet! You can't leave such precious things lying around like this."
Zhou Shuo, however, didn't care at all. "That's not necessary. They are all life-saving and healing things, not meant to be sold for money. Xuejin Pills have only been sold once in all these years. My master didn't know about that incident and was cheated. Fortunately, the medicine was used to save people in the end. The person who profited from selling the medicine will not have a good ending. Alas, medicine should not be taken carelessly."
Zhou Shuo thought of Mu En and shook his head. Forget it, let's take it one step at a time.
Mu Ci's expression was solemn, but Zhou Shuo didn't notice it.
Zhou Shuo originally thought that after what had just happened, Duan Si would be angry and run away. She was still hesitating whether to find a suitable opportunity to persuade Mu Ci not to make the relationship with his mother too awkward.
But she was overthinking it. Duan Si did not leave, but was in the kitchen directing the cooks to cook.
Mrs. Tian said to Duan Si with some embarrassment, "Madam, let the servants handle these small matters. Why don't you go to the living room and have some tea first?"
Duan Si didn't have a good look on his face towards Tian Sao. "What? I have no right to speak in my own son's family?"
Mrs. Tian didn't dare to answer and hurriedly said with a smile, "Madam, what are you talking about? I'm worried that you'll be too tired. Or you can give them some instructions on how to do it. You can just supervise them here."
Duan Si was too lazy to argue with her and ordered everyone to do their work in a very cold tone.
Mrs. Tian had no choice but to rearrange the staff to prepare the food that the young mistress specially prepared for the eldest young master.
At dinner, Mu Ci was quite surprised to see that Duan Si had not left.
Duan Si's expression became even uglier.
Mrs. Tian stepped forward and whispered to Zhou Shuo, "Madam, the young master's dishes are all ready. Xiaoling personally supervised them."
Zhou Shuo nodded.
Duan Si glared at them fiercely.
The servant has already asked Mu Chen to come downstairs.
Duan Si stepped forward, supported Mu Chen's arm, and called out affectionately, "Dad!"
Mu Chen hummed, then saw Mu Ci and Zhou Shuo, "Didn't Mu Ci go out?"
Mu Ci nodded and said, "Yes, Grandpa!"
"How's it going?" Mu Chen sat down at the main seat at the dining table. Duan Si asked the servants to serve the dishes. When he saw that it was not the dish he had requested, he placed it in front of Zhou Shuo from a distance.
Mu Ci said, "It's done, Grandpa. Chengsheng Building will start the transfer and handover procedures tomorrow. From now on, my last name will be Mu."
Duan Si couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, looking at Mu Ci with complicated eyes.
Mu Chen nodded in satisfaction. "Not bad, not bad. For more than half a year, you were in such a slump that I was worried. Now you've finally picked yourself up."
He looked up at Zhou Shuo and said with a smile: "It's all thanks to our Zhou Shuo. It seems that starting a family is still very important!"
Mu Ci also looked at Zhou Shuo gently.
Zhou Shuo was serving soup to the two of them, accepting this sudden praise with a puzzled look on his face.
Duan Si's hand couldn't help but become heavier when he put down the spoon, making a "ding-dong" sound.
She placed the soup bowl in front of Mu Chen and said, "Dad, try it. This is made with the ingredients for Buddha Jumps Over the Wall that Mu En sent. This child only cares about his grandfather and brother. Look, he even worries about his stuttering!"
