It’s Mid-Autumn Festival night, so we don’t want to make the atmosphere too awkward.
"I promised the children I'd take them for a walk tomorrow." Xiao Lingyu looked troubled. "I can't break my promise to them. Should we postpone the visit to Cui's mansion for a few days?"
"Do you agree to come to Cui's house for treatment?"
Xiao Lingyu nodded, and Lu Zeyi's heart relaxed. "Then in three days, Madam Su will come with me to the Cui Mansion..."
"Second brother!" Lu Shiyuan interrupted him dissatisfiedly, "Since Madam Su has agreed to go to the Cui Mansion for treatment, then let the Cui family come and invite Mr. Su into the mansion. Madam Su is an honored guest of our mansion and must not be neglected."
Lu Zeyi had no choice but to compromise, "Of course, I will make the arrangements."
"As for the medical fees, please ask the Cui family to prepare them in advance."
Lu Shiyuan turned his head to look at Xiao Lingyu and said with a smile, "Madam Su, your medical skills are so great, this consultation fee must be very expensive."
Xiao Lingyu thought to himself, "How could that be? You're just flattering me."
"Yes, my mother's medical consultation is very expensive, one thousand taels per session." Su Ningjie finally found a chance to speak.
Lu Zeyi's heart tightened and he felt a pain in his flesh.
She is not an imperial physician in the palace, yet she dares to ask for such a high price!
Although he thought so in his heart, he smiled and said, "Okay, I will inform the Cui family. Madam Su will come to see me when she is free in three days."
After the meal, the Su and Lu families sat in the yard, chatting and appreciating the moon.
Chen prepared an appropriate amount of fireworks and arranged for Lu Zexu to take the children to the lake to set off the fireworks.
Si Chuyu and Su Xingyi took away the fireworks from the children's hands and asked them to watch them set off the fireworks from the side, saying that they were worried that the children would be hurt by the fireworks.
"The fireworks are so beautiful, so pretty..." Amid the children's exclamations, Si Chuyu and Su Xingyi had their fill of setting off fireworks.
The father and son from the second and fourth branches of the Lu family felt that this year's Mid-Autumn Festival was lacking in something and was very boring. They chatted with Lu Shiyuan in the yard for an hour and then returned to their respective yards early.
After seeing the two families leave, Chen pulled Lu Yuan and Xiao Lingyu aside and said, "Madam Su, I didn't get a chance to speak to you during dinner just now. The Cui family is no ordinary household. You must be cautious when you go there. Old Madam Cui is very shrewd, very stylish, and very careful about her life. No matter what you diagnose her with, don't be too absolute."
Xiao Lingyu said, "Third Madam, don't worry. I cherish my life even more than the old lady of the Cui family. I still have three children to raise, so I have to be more cautious when I'm out there."
Chen was worried and continued, "I'm worried that she might say something difficult to you. After all, Jie'er's second sister-in-law is her granddaughter."
Xiao Lingyu thought that the Luo family had no value to the Cui family, and the Cui family would have to rely on the second prince in the future.
She didn't dare cause any trouble at this critical moment.
"I will take care of myself and won't let myself suffer any loss. The Cui family's Madam has always been proud of her status and would never do anything that would bring her down."
Lu Yuan said, "That's hard to say."
She had dealt with that old woman before, and she would show her power first no matter who it was, not to mention that the Su family and the Lu family's eldest branch had this kind of relationship.
"Ayuan, don't worry, she doesn't dare."
"But..." Lu Yuan swallowed the words back when they came to his lips.
The title of Princess Huguo seems to be higher than the rank of the first-rank imperial consort of Cui Tailaojun.
But the Cui family didn't know that she was the Princess Protector of the Country!
"A Yuan, the other families are watching. Didn't they say that the major families in Huayang County have heard about Brother Jie's incident?"
Lu Yuan suddenly realized, "Oh, the storm hasn't died down yet. Tomorrow I will arrange for someone to spread the news that the Cui Mansion wants you to come in for a consultation."
"No." Xiao Lingyu was somewhat concerned. He couldn't show off in Huayang County. He looked at Lu Yuan meaningfully and said, "I only know a little bit about medicine. I came to Huayang County to bring the 'children' to see me."
Lu Yuan realized that the safety of the children was the most important thing. If this was publicized and praised Mrs. Su, it would be very disadvantageous to her.
"Okay then. I'll pick a few skilled guards to follow you in three days."
"Madam Su, the method my daughter Yuan'er just mentioned is very good. Would you like to consider it again?"
Chen couldn't understand why. This was a rare opportunity. In the future, more people would come to see Mrs. Su for treatment.
Xiao Lingyu said, "There are very few women practicing medicine in Beiyi. Those doctors who are qualified to practice medicine must pass the Imperial Medical Bureau's examination. If this gets out, many people will come to me for treatment. If I diagnose someone with a problem, I could easily be sued."
Chen was speechless for a moment. As a woman living in the inner palace, she really didn't understand these things. There were few women practicing medicine, and even fewer women doing business in public.
They are a merchant family so naturally they don't care about these things.
"Since Madam Su has made up her mind, I won't say any more. We should still be cautious..."
"Xiao Yu..." Lu Yuan looked at Xiao Lingyu's white fingers and reached out to cover them.
Xiao Lingyu glanced at her sideways, "What's wrong? Ayuan."
"Help me..." Lu Yuan found it difficult to speak. She really wanted Xiao Lingyu to take her pulse to see if she was pregnant.
But the words couldn't come out of my mouth.
"Ayuan, you should go back and rest early. Your health is very important. You can't sit for long periods of time or stay up late. Your third aunt and I will take your grandfather back to rest later."
"Mrs. Su is right. Health is the most important thing. Aunt San will be waiting to hold my nephew next year."
Hearing this, Lu Yuan glanced at Xiao Lingyu again, unable to speak out what was in his heart, so he stood up and said, "Then I'll go back first."
"Wait." Chen saw Si Chuyu, Su Ningjie, and Lu Zexu coming over. "Let Chuyu go back with you."
"Let's go, Ayuan. I'm just here to take you back and rest early."
Lu Yuan smiled, then took Si Chuyu's arm and left first.
Not long after, Lu Zexu and Chen helped Lu Shiyuan leave, and Su Ningjie took Xiao Lingyu to the lake.
The four children were extremely excited tonight and had no desire to sleep. They kept pestering Xiao Lingyu and Su Xingyi to tell them stories from the book.
At the end of the hour of Hai, Su Xingyi suddenly raised his hand and touched his slightly aching chest.
The strange fragrance on Xiao Xier's body became even stronger at this moment.
The servants standing not far away felt extremely sleepy after smelling the fragrance in the air.
Xiao Lingyu noticed something unusual and quickly called his family back to the courtyard.
Half an hour later, after the children lay down to sleep, Xiao Lingyu went to Su Xingyi's room.
"According to the intention."
Su Xingyi lay on the bed, holding his chest, looking a little uncomfortable.
"Xiao Yu, go back and rest. You'll be fine after midnight."
Xiao Lingyu walked over silently and placed his left palm on his chest.
"How is it? Are you feeling better now?"
Su Xingyi nodded: "Much better, very comfortable."
Xiao Lingyu asked, "What's wrong with your chest? I checked and you don't have any symptoms of heart disease."
