After finishing his meal with the old lady, Xie Xianyu walked out of Shou'an Hall, and the eldest lady immediately stopped him.
"What on earth are you planning? Even if the old lady doesn't know, how could I not know? Wasn't that porridge made by Xu Wanruo?"
"She's the one who does it. Grandma has a poor appetite, but she never lets her suffer."
"Stop talking official language to me!" The eldest lady glared at him angrily.
But Xie Xianyu remained calm and didn't react at all.
The eldest lady felt a little heartbroken. She used to be proud of this calm and ambitious son, but now she felt helpless because he was too ambitious.
The eldest lady took a deep breath and said, "Since you are so fond of that girl, I am too lazy to care about her anymore. Now that she has been brought back to the capital, you should bring her into the mansion as soon as possible. What's the big deal about her showing up in public all day long?"
Ever since the last quarrel in the third house, the eldest lady already knew that the owner of Jinshangtang was Xu Wanruo.
She hadn't mentioned it these days because Xie Xianyu hadn't mentioned it either. She thought that his enthusiasm had probably worn off, so maybe it was just put aside.
But I never thought that today he even brought Xu Wanruo to make some medicinal food and sent it to the old lady. When had he ever been so concerned about such a thing? It was obvious that he had not let it go at all!
"Didn't mother say that she was of humble origin and restless, and therefore didn't want to let her enter the mansion? I naturally followed mother's wishes." Xie Xianyu's voice was calm, but with a hint of perfunctory.
"Then are you going to keep her as a concubine? The Xie family can't afford to lose face like this! Moreover, if you really don't want her to enter the mansion, what's the point of using her to make medicinal food for the old lady?"
"Exercise your filial piety."
The eldest lady's face was very ugly. Although his words were flawless, every word he said was obviously perfunctory!
"Then I'll take my leave first." Xie Xianyu bowed, then turned and left.
The eldest lady was so angry. How could she have given birth to such a rebellious son!
Xie Xiuzhu, who was hiding in the corner and eavesdropping, was shocked and her eyes widened. Wanruo was still alive!

In the middle of the night, someone knocked on the door of Jinshang Pharmacy.
Su Yue hurried to open the door. If someone came to seek medical treatment in the middle of the night, something serious must have happened.
When he opened the door, it was Shopkeeper Zhang outside, who said anxiously, "My daughter has suddenly developed a high fever. I've asked other doctors to see her, but they can't bring the fever down. Miss Bai, please help!"
Su Yue hurried upstairs to wake Wanruo up.
Wanruo hurriedly got dressed, took Suyue and two servants and went straight to Zhang's house.
Jingzhao suddenly developed a fever, his forehead was burning, and he fell unconscious on the bed. Wanruo immediately gave him acupuncture and asked Suyue to boil some medicine for him to drink.
After half an hour, he finally woke up, his voice hoarse: "Miss Bai."
Wan Ruo touched his forehead with a sullen face, then breathed a sigh of relief: "Didn't you tell me to rest and recuperate? Your current injury is most vulnerable to fever. You really don't take your health seriously."
"I felt stuffy in the room and wanted to walk outside for a while. I didn't expect it to be like this. I'm sorry to trouble you." His voice was weak.
"It's not a big deal at the moment, but you must stay away from the wind for the next few days," Wanruo warned.
"Thank you, Miss Bai." He curled his lips. "With such advanced medical skills, if you were a man, you would have become famous long ago. It's my luck that I met you, and that's how I was able to save my life several times."
Wanruo packed up her medicine box and said coldly, "Don't flatter me. You only have one life. If you do this again next time, I may not be able to save you."
He smiled weakly: "Yes, I will be obedient."
