Simeng quickly sent for someone to clean up their room. She approached them with a kind and gentle manner, her eyes casually glancing over Lu Yuan's belly. "Why are you in such a hurry to come here? Madam Su is a benefactor to you and your wife. Wouldn't it be neglectful if you didn't accompany her?"
Before Lu Yuan could speak, Si Chuyu said, "Mrs. Su is always thinking about the children. She is as close to us as a family and we have never neglected her. The Su family has already settled down in the big house over at Lanxin Waterside."
Si Chujin frowned and said, "Brother, I've been to Lanxin Waterside Pavilion. I remember it was a three-story building, a study. How can we let the Su family stay there? Wouldn't that be disrespectful?"
"Yes, if I had known this would happen, I would have invited the Su family to live in our Si Mansion." Si Zhenye, the head of the Si family, said with a frown.
"You misunderstood," Lu Yuan quickly explained. "My brother Jie is the eldest grandson of the eldest son. Grandfather said he deserved a bigger house, so he bought the mansion next door, connected it to Lanxin Waterside Pavilion, and gave it to him to live in."
"I think it's for the Su family to live in." Simeng said with a smile: "Some time ago, I heard your third aunt say that your grandfather wanted to see Jie every day and wished that the Su family lived next door. Now that they have bought the house next door, doesn't this satisfy your grandfather's wish?"
Lu Yuan said, "Now that the mansion is under Brother Jie'er's name, letting the Su family live there can be said to be giving it to the Su family. However, if it is given openly to the Su family, they may not accept it."
Simeng said, "That's great. When the Su family comes to Huayang County in the future, they'll feel more comfortable staying in Brother Jie'er's courtyard."
"Mom, sister-in-law." At this time, a beautiful, gentle and lovely woman entered the room.
The person who came was none other than the second wife of the Si family, Mrs. Yu.
Simeng quickly gave Si Zhenye a look.
"Chu Yu, Chu Jin, you two brothers come with me to the study. I have something to tell you." Si Zhenye said as he pulled his two sons out of the room.
Seeing this, Lu Yuan frowned slightly, "Second sister-in-law, do you have anything to say to me?"
Yu glanced at Simeng. Her mother-in-law was really looking forward to having a grandson.
But her mother-in-law was different from other mothers-in-law. She had given birth to three girls in a row, but she had never blamed her.
Yu was sometimes nervous, worried that one day her mother-in-law would change her mind and ask her to give birth to a grandson.
"Sister-in-law, I heard from mother that Madam Su not only cured Sister Yao'er, but also took care of Brother Jie'er's frail body. Madam Su has been taking care of you for some time. How do you feel now? Can you..." Yu was too embarrassed to say the rest.
If her mother-in-law hadn't sent someone to ask her about it, she wouldn't be here right now.
Lu Yuan understood and glanced at Si Mengshi. Si Mengshi was embarrassed for a moment. This was not a question she asked, but was purely asked by her second daughter-in-law.
It's none of her business.
"Second daughter-in-law, Madam Su is a skilled doctor and will definitely be able to help your sister-in-law recover. Next year, you can just wait to become the second aunt."
Yu's eyebrows raised slightly, "Really? That's great, sister-in-law, if you are pregnant, you must return home to announce the news as soon as possible! I am looking forward to you giving birth to a nephew for me."
Lu Yuan subconsciously touched her flat belly and laughed dryly, "There's no rush for this, but I believe in Madam Su. If she says I can be a mother, then I can become one. Madam Su's prescription is really effective. I don't think I can wait half a year."
Simengshi didn't hear the hidden meaning, "You must listen to Madam Su and take good care of him. Don't be impatient. I have waited for so many years, a few months won't make a difference."
Lu Yuan is not a child anymore, and it would be a real pain if she got pregnant.
Seeing Simeng's concern for her, Lu Yuan felt warm in her heart. "Okay, I will listen to Madam Su and take good care of myself. You can wait for my good news when the time comes."
"Sister-in-law, my mother and I went to the Yudian Sweet Cake shop in Huayang County on its opening day. The cakes there are truly unique in Beiyi. I heard that there are no birthday cakes like them in the capital. What kind of woman is Madam Su? Not only does she know medicine, but she can also make novel foods?"
Lu Yuan smiled and said, "Mrs. Su knows more than that. Her painting skills are comparable to that of Lin Yuan Jushi. Her eldest son learned painting from her, and his painting skills are becoming more and more sophisticated. In a year or two, he will be a well-known painter in Beiyi."
Simeng frowned, "That child isn't that old. He'll be famous in a year. Are you talking about a child prodigy?"
Lu Yuan remembered what Si Chuyu had told her, that day Su Ning'an threw more than a dozen strong men from the Xu family's main house to the ground like dead fish, and his appetite was astonishing.
From this perspective, he is really not an ordinary person!
"Mother, that Linyuan Layman became famous at a young age. Madam Su is so knowledgeable and smart, it would be easy for her to raise a child who is like a child prodigy. Oh, no, it's four, including my brother Jie."
"Your brother Jie?" The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law looked at Lu Yuan in disbelief.
"The Su family doesn't have many shops. Madam Su is very smart. If she were to manage the shops seriously, she would be better at business than me. My brother Jie is good at mental arithmetic and has been learning business from Madam Su. He's only six years old and can manage the shops independently. He's not afraid of interacting with people. Isn't he also considered a child prodigy?"
Simeng thought of what happened at the Meng family's birthday party that day. This child remained calm in the face of danger and was able to resolve the crisis cleverly. It was truly amazing.
"That's fair to say. This kid is quite clever, but what about the other two? What magical powers do they have?"
"The third young master of the Su family is good at studying and has a photographic memory. Some time ago, he was teaching his brothers, sisters and brothers to read and learn. I think he can pass the examination to become a scholar at the age of five."
Upon hearing this, Simeng and Yu looked at each other in surprise. Isn't this too exaggerated?
"Yuan'er, where is that little girl?"
Lu Yuan couldn't answer for a moment, Xiao Xier had never shown her talent.
"She is very well-behaved and cute. You will definitely like her when you meet her."
Simeng really wanted to meet the Su family, especially Xiao Lingyu.
"Do you know what Madam Su wants my Meng family to do for you?"
Lu Yuan thought that Xiao Lingyu was a princess, so she must have seen members of the Meng family serving as officials in the capital.
The couple went to Wuling County specifically for the Xianglu matter and thought about meeting the Meng family. It seemed that the children's identities were not simple and they needed the help of the Meng family. To be precise, they wanted to meet the children of the Meng family who were officials in the court.
"Mrs. Su just asked me to introduce her to the Meng family. The matter may be very important, or even closely related to the Meng family."
Lu Yuan had no choice but to say this in order to get his mother-in-law's attention.
Simeng frowned. In her impression, Xiao Lingyu was just a village woman from Guihua Village in Xishui County. She came from a poor family, but she was already shocked that she could read and write and knew medical skills.
"Does she know that my Meng family is a prominent family and that the children of the Meng family serve as officials in the court?"
Madam Su must know!
"My daughter-in-law told her during a casual chat that Madam Su is not the type of person who likes to monopolize everything. She wants the Meng family to help her, but in fact she is also helping the Meng family."
