Chapter 30: Deep Feelings, One Sip
Master Chen fell silent. "Then let's deal with this matter after the prince leaves."
He didn't believe in anything supernatural, but the words of Dr. Luo Shen's apprentice about three or four children seemed to be engraved in his mind, and he would think of it from time to time and feel annoyed.
At lunch, except for Mrs. Chen, the rest of the Chen family was present.
A group of people, each with their own ulterior motives, their eyes flickering.
The old lady's eyes were full of fatigue, but she forced herself to greet Lu Wanning. She finally waited until the end of lunch, and the servants helped her to take a nap.
Lu Wanning and Qi Muchao had no intention of leaving.
I don’t know what the old lady asked at Qingshan Temple that caused the Chen family to look so strange.
Even Chen Wenjian, who usually has a calm personality, can't control his emotions anymore and his face shows them.
The second and third wives looked melancholy, but their eyes were filled with joy.
Lu Wanning stood up and said, "Let me accompany my husband to the side room to rest for a while."
Master Chen laughed dryly upon hearing this. "The wing room is simple and I apologize for the inconvenience. Please don't mind, my lord."
"No problem."
Seeing Lu Wanning and Qi Muchao go to the side room together, Master Chen opened his mouth and then closed it again.
He couldn't just chase Prince Qi away.
But the current situation in the mansion is really not suitable for the prince to stay here. After much consideration, Mr. Chen had no choice but to call Aunt An.
It would be best if she could talk to Lu Wanning.
Aunt An was a little embarrassed when she heard this. "It's okay for me to tell Wan Ning, but I'm just worried that the prince will misunderstand our hospitality in the Chen Mansion."
Glancing at Master Chen's face, Aunt An thought about what Wan Ning had said would happen tonight, calmed herself down, and advised, "Master, don't worry too much. The Madam is being watched now, and there hasn't been any movement in the past two days. I think there must be no major problems. After tonight, even if we don't tell her, the prince will definitely leave."
Mr. Chen felt that what she said made sense. He thought for a moment and nodded, "That's the only way."
That night, when the cat's cry came into the room, Lu Wanning was already dressed.
He stared at the medicine bowl on the table again and again, then turned to Qi Muchao and said, "Drink it quickly, my prince. The show will start soon."
Qi Muchao frowned, "When did you bring this medicine?"
On the second day after their marriage, Lu Wanning began to boil medicine for him according to their agreement. She never asked anyone else to do this, and she would always watch him drink the medicine with her own eyes before she would stop.
Qi Muchao has been taking medicine constantly since he was a child. Logically speaking, taking medicine is as easy for him as drinking water.
But the medicine that Lu Wanning prepared was not only bitter, but also extremely smelly.
He strongly suspected that this man was deliberately taking revenge on him.
No wonder he never lets others help him boil the medicine. He must be worried that others won’t be able to boil the stinking smell.
Qi Muchao's eyes were filled with disdain. "Are you sure you're not seeking revenge?"
"Why would I take revenge on you? You haven't done anything against me," Lu Wanning pushed the medicine bowl towards him. "Good medicine tastes bitter. Just hold your breath and swallow it."
“…”
It's easy to say, but it turns out that she wasn't the one who took the medicine.
Qi Muchao gritted his teeth and felt like vomiting when he looked at the bowl of medicine.
The cat outside was meowing more rapidly, and the house seemed to be noisy. When the noisy sound came, Lu Wanning's eyes lit up, and she almost picked up the bowl and poured it into Qi Muchao's mouth.
Stopped by his sinister gaze, she shrugged, "Prince, do you want me to feed you?"
She nodded, "Giving medicine orally is also a kind of fun, come on."
As soon as he finished speaking, his hands were empty. Qi Muchao drank the medicine in two gulps. The bitterness in his throat rose up. He didn't even have time to scold Lu Wanning for being disgusting. He hurriedly picked up the teacup next to him and rinsed his mouth.
He raised his eyes and was about to scold her for being shameless, but his lips touched the cold fingertips, which left in an instant, and the bitter and faintly sweet taste in his mouth was dispelled.
Lu Wanning narrowed her eyes and handed him the half-pack of preserved fruits in her hand. "Let's go and watch the fun."
She pulled Qi Muchao's sleeve and walked out, not noticing that Qi Muchao raised his hand to touch his lips behind her, his eyes fixed on her for a long time.
In Madam Chen's room, Mother Gui looked anxiously at Madam Chen lying on the bed, then turned around and called out to Qiu He, "Quick, go call the doctor."
Qiu He ran out quickly, but she didn't go to call the doctor, but to call Mr. Chen.
On the way, she met the maid from the second lady's room. Seeing her so panic-stricken, she asked her a question. Qiu He also kindly described Mrs. Chen's current situation.
So in a short while, almost everyone in the Chen family gathered in Mrs. Chen's room.
"ah!"
"Get out of here! It's not my fault! Ah!!"
"Mother Gui! Mother Gui!"
"I was wrong, I was wrong, don't come to me!"
"You deserve it! Ah! Get out of here!"
As soon as the two arrived at the door, they heard Mrs. Chen's heart-wrenching cry in the yard.
Lu Wanning was in a good mood and directly pulled Qi Muchao in.
The second and third wives stood together, holding each other's arms.
Aunt An was standing aside with a pale face. The moment she saw her, she felt as if she had found a life-saving straw and hurried towards her.
Chen Wenjian held Madam Chen's shoulders, trying his best to wake her up, "Mother!"
Madam Chen paused in her screams and looked at him. Just when everyone thought she was about to wake up, she suddenly screamed even more miserably, pushed Chen Wenjian away, and waved her hands at him vigorously, "Don't come over here, don't come over here! I didn't kill you!"
The noise here was really too loud, so the servants came over with the old lady supported.
As soon as I entered the room, I heard Madam Chen yelling, "I didn't want to kill you, you forced me to do it. I took good care of Xun'er. For Xun'er's sake, don't come looking for me, don't come looking for me!"
Mr. Chen's attention was drawn to the patrol officer. He glared at Mrs. Chen, "Who is that patrol officer?"
The second and third wives' ears pricked up instantly.
Lu Wanning covered her mouth in surprise, "What's wrong, Madam?"
Family disgrace should not be made public. No matter what happened to my mother, some things must never be heard by outsiders, especially when that person is Qi Muchao.
Chen Wenjian hardened his heart, clasped his palms together like a blade and slashed at the back of Mrs. Chen's neck.
But after all, she was his mother, so he didn't dare to use too much strength in this palm strike, so that Mrs. Chen not only did not faint, but was also frightened by him. She just thought that those people were coming to take her life.
But this slap did sober her up a bit. She scrambled off the bed in a panic, hugged Master Chen, and started crying, "Master, Master, it's Concubine Liu. She's still alive. She wants to take revenge on me and is deliberately playing tricks here."
"Master, catch her!"
Mr. Chen's face had turned as black as the bottom of a pot.
