He Jianzhang was standing on a high stool. When he saw Si Chuyu and his wife coming over, before he could call out to them, Si Chuyu gestured to him to keep quiet.
Su Ningjie carefully pulled Lu Yao into the yard. Lu Yao cooperated surprisingly and was unusually quiet as she sniffed the special fragrance in the air.
Xiao Lingyu was painting with his eyes downcast, not noticing anyone coming in. Si Chuyu and Lu Yuan, who followed him in, waited quietly at the door.
Lu Yuan took a deep breath and felt relieved. Xiao Lingyu looked so handsome when he was painting. She liked him for some reason. She turned her head to look at Su Xingyi, with surprise in her eyes. The Su family's husband didn't look like a native of Guihua Village at all. He was definitely a child of an aristocratic family.
Lu Yuan lowered his gaze, and Xiao Xi'er's large obsidian eyes met Lu Yuan's. Xiao Xi'er smiled and blinked, "Pretty auntie, you look so good."
Seeing this, Lu Yuan felt as if his heart was stuffed with cotton, soft and warm. This little girl is so cute and has such a sweet mouth.
"You look good too."
"Master Si, Master Lu, please come in and sit for a while. I'm only a few strokes away from finishing the painting. Brother An, Brother Jie, please entertain mother first."
After Su Ning'an invited the Lu family into the yard and asked them to sit down, he went to the kitchen.
Lu Yao smelled the pleasant fragrance in the air and walked towards Xiao Xier. Lu Yuan quickly pulled her back.
"Sister, my little sister is so cute and smells so nice. I want to hug her."
"Be good, Sister Yao'er, wait until Madam Su finishes her painting before you go hug her, okay?"
Lu Yao turned her head and looked at Xiao Xier, "Okay, I'll be good. I'll hug her later."
"Come and try it. This is the tea my mother made today with rose petals, tea leaves and goat milk. It's rose milk tea." Su Ningjie served iced rose milk tea to Si Chuyu, Lu Yuan and Lu Yao in turn.
Si Chuyu noticed that the milk tea in front of him smelled of roses, but there was no trace of tea leaves. "Second Master, did you take out the tea leaves after boiling them?"
Su Ningjie smiled and said, "The tea leaves are still inside, but they are just tea powder. If you look closely, there is a little bit of green, which is the tea leaves."
Si Chuyu was surprised and said, "Can tea leaves be drunk directly into the stomach?" In the cognition of Si Chuyu and others, tea leaves are used to make tea, and if the tea leaves do not turn into tea color, they will be thrown away.
"Ayu, it's drinkable. It's really delicious." The Lu Yuan sisters began to sip the tea. "I never thought tea leaves could be ground into powder and boiled with rose and goat's milk to make a drink."
Si Chuyu quickly picked it up and took a few sips, surprise flashing in his eyes. This was a brand new drink that was very suitable to be eaten with fried chicken.
"Second Young Master, this milk tea can also be sold for money."
Su Ningjie pursed his lips and said, "Uncle Chu Yu, our milk tea shop will be open for business next month. You must come and support us then."
"Where?"
"It's at Shizai Yulan, they're currently renovating..."
"Okay, Xiao Xier, I've finished the painting." Xiao Lingyu put down the pen in his hand and looked at his work for a few seconds, with a slight smile on his face, showing great satisfaction.
"Mom, let me take a look first." Su Ningjie hurried over. Si Chuyu and Lu Yao stood up and followed. Lu Yao took the opportunity to run towards Xiao Xier.
"Mom, you drew dad and sister so beautifully." Only then did Su Ningjie realize that Xiao Lingyu had never drawn any pictures of the three brothers.
"Mother." Su Ningwen suddenly poked his head out from behind Si Chuyu and Lu Yuan, "You haven't drawn a picture for me, my elder brother, or my second brother yet."
Su Ningjie took over and said: "Can you draw a picture of the three of us brothers this afternoon?"
"Of course, I'll draw one for each of you."
Si Chuyu and Lu Yuan saw that Xiao Lingyu's painting skills were quite good. In the painting, Su Xingyi was holding little Xier lovingly, which made the couple feel envious. They thought they would dote on their children in the same way when they had them.
Si Chuyu said, "Madam Su, we are so lucky to come to the Su family's courtyard today. If we were a day or two later, we would not be able to see your masterpiece."
Xiao Lingyu pursed his lips slightly. The Lu family members' words seemed to be blessed, and it made people happy just by listening to them.
Xiao Lingyu handed the painting to Su Ningjie and said modestly, "It's not a masterpiece. It's just a daily painting for my family. You came at the right time, as today is the day for the follow-up examination."
Xiao Lingyu sat down and carefully took Lu Yuan's pulse. After a moment, Xiao Lingyu frowned slightly and looked serious.
What's going on?
Why is this pulse exactly the same as the one seven days ago?
Seeing Xiao Lingyu's serious expression, the couple felt uneasy.
Seeing Xiao Lingyu withdraw his hand, Lu Yuan hurriedly asked, "Madam Su, has my health improved?"
Xiao Lingyu glanced sideways at Lu Yao, who was also admiring the flowers while holding Xiao Xi'er, and then asked, "Did you take the healing formula first as I requested?"
"Should we take the recovery prescription first as you requested, or should I brew it myself every day?" Si Chuyu knew that there was no sign of improvement in A Yuan's body after hearing this. "Is it because of my wife's health that she needs to take it for a few more days before seeing the effect?" Si Chuyu held Lu Yuan's hand, trying to find a reason to comfort Lu Yuan.
This is already a whole course of treatment, it is impossible that there is no effect. Xiao Lingyu thought about the last time he took Lu Yao's pulse. The prescription she took should have been effective after more than a month, but there was no improvement at all.
She couldn't help but suspect that there was a traitor in the Lu Mansion.
"Master Si, are you sure you brewed the medicine yourself and didn't leave the furnace?"
Lu Yuan frowned slightly when she heard this. It seemed that she had been drinking the medicine for the past seven days in vain.
Si Chuyu said: "I cook the medicine myself in the kitchen every day, without asking anyone else..." He would not watch the medicine stove when he went to the toilet.
Si Chuyu remembered that Xiao Lingyu and Du Qingfeng had checked the medicinal residue last time. It seemed that both of them suspected that someone had tampered with it. At that time, he didn't want to think about it that way. The servants in the villa were all servants of the Lu family's main house and would not have any ulterior motives. But now he couldn't help but think about it that way.
At that time, his grandfather suddenly fell ill, and Wei Xiao was surrounded by men in black when he went to deliver a hundred-year-old ginseng. The secret guards he sent out found that the masters of several branches of the Lu family had made false accounts, and the amount of silver they embezzled was not much.
As long as it didn't reach Lu Yuan's bottom line, they would turn a blind eye.
"Madam Su, can your recipe allow us to become parents?"
Xiao Lingyu was very confident that she could heal Lu Yuan's health, but she needed to dispel the two people's doubts about her medical skills, so she waved to call Su Ningwen.
"This is my brother Wen. He has been mute since he was a child. I studied medicine for many years and only recently cured him."
Su Ningwen said, "Uncle and aunt, I couldn't speak for a while, but my mother cured me. Don't worry, you will definitely be able to become parents in half a year."
The trace of melancholy in Lu Yuan's heart instantly dissipated. "Madam Su, I think my symptoms have been there for a long time, just like my sister Yao'er. If I drink one more course of treatment, I might see some results."
She needs to go back and investigate the traitor.
