"I don't know why, but every full-moon night, the lotus birthmark on my chest becomes brighter red than usual, and I often feel a strong burning sensation in my chest. Ever since you came, that feeling has disappeared, replaced by a slight tingling and a little itchy. When your little hand touches it, it instantly feels comfortable, just like a person who has not had water for a long time and is extremely thirsty drinks a bowl of spring water, which quenches their thirst in time."
The corners of Xiao Lingyu's mouth twitched. He was really good at making metaphors. He actually compared her to a bowl of spring water.
"Yeah, it's good to quench your thirst. It's probably because of the lotus birthmark that you're like this."
Su Xingyi asked, "Nowadays, I always feel a slight pain and itching here on full moon nights. Will this cause heart disease or shorten my lifespan?"
"No, don't overthink it." Xiao Lingyu got on the bed and lay on his left side, resting her head on his arm and stroking his chest. "You won't feel any pain now that I'm here. Go to sleep."
Xiao Lingyu felt sleepy very quickly and fell asleep soon.
Su Xingyi looked at her pouting lips while she was sleeping and thought she was very sweet and cute. She looked like a little sister at this moment, and as a brother, he had to pamper her well.
Su Xingyi stretched out his claws and touched her pink lips. Xiao Lingyu frowned unhappily and pulled his restless hands away.
Su Xingyi found it very interesting, so he reached out and scratched her nose, then pinched her face...
Xiao Lingyu suddenly opened his eyes and said unhappily, "I'm leaving!"
What she hates most is someone playing pranks on her while she's sleeping!
Su Xingyi quickly pushed him back and coaxed him in a low voice: "Xiao Yu, don't go. I promise not to move, okay?"
"Don't touch my face when I fall asleep!"
"Okay, okay, I won't touch you. I promise not to touch you. Don't be angry."
Xiao Lingyu looked at him without blinking, then leaned over and bit his lips.
After a long moment, Xiao Lingyu looked at his slightly swollen lips, her eyebrows slightly raised. "Are you satisfied now? If you touch my face again, I won't come to accompany you except on full moon nights."
How could this be possible? He couldn't afford to lose the big picture for the sake of a small one.
"Go to sleep. I promise not to touch your face."
Xiao Lingyu closed his eyes and soon fell into a deep sleep again.
It was already past midnight, and Su Xingyi's chest no longer felt itchy. Looking at the sleeping Xiao Lingyu, he couldn't help but gently kiss her forehead with his mouth before falling asleep contentedly...
The next morning, Lu Yuan received a letter from Simeng.
"A Yuan, what did my mother say?"
"My mother went to the Meng residence yesterday. My grandfather and my uncle already know about this. Where do you think it would be best to meet without letting the Cui family know?"
Si Chuyu said: "Let's ask Madam Su to go to the Meng Mansion in the name of seeing a doctor. After seeing the Cui Mansion, go to the Meng Mansion."
"Okay, I understand. I'll go tell Xiaoyu now."
"However, this matter must be made known to our second uncle."
Lu Yuan said, "I understand."
Half an hour later, Lu Zeyi had eaten and drunk his fill, dressed neatly, left his yard, and headed for Cui's Mansion.
Seeing Lu Zeyi approaching from a distance, Lu Yuan quickly said to Si Chuyu, "Ayu, our mother is also very filial. The prescription that Madam Su gave her must be taken for at least seven days for it to take effect. It won't be too late to invite Madam Su to the Meng Mansion to see our grandfather."
"Grandfather is old, and my mother wants him to live a long and healthy life. She has been taking good care of him these years. Now that Madam Su is here, it's natural for her to invite Madam Su to the Meng Mansion for treatment as soon as possible."
Lu Yuan said, "But our mother said that we should invite Madam Su to the Meng Mansion today. This is definitely not possible. Madam Su needs to accompany the children."
"Then make an appointment with Madam Su in three days. After going to Cui Mansion, we will go to Meng Mansion for a consultation."
Lu Yuan said, "That's the only way. Send a message back and I'll go see Xiao Yu."
"Good morning, second uncle."
Lu Yuan, Si Chuyu said hello to Lu Zeyi and then headed towards Lanxin Water Pavilion.
Lu Zeyi looked at the couple's backs as they walked away, and curled his lips. Fortunately, he had taken the initiative to invite Mrs. Su last night.
"You said that the Meng family also wants Madam Su to see a doctor?" Cui Zhehan asked, putting down the teacup in his hand.
"Exactly."
Cui Zhehan said, "Today I will go to the Lu Mansion to invite Madam Su. I must not let the Meng Mansion get ahead of her. She must come to my Cui Mansion for a consultation in three days."
Lu Zeyi was delighted. Since the Meng family was involved, the Cui family couldn't hold back. He was still worried about how to ask Cui Zhehan to go and invite him in person. Then he probably wouldn't have to pay for the medical fee, right?
"Uncle, please be patient. The Su family should be wandering around the city right now. It won't be too late to go over and invite them in the evening. However, Madam Su's consultation fee is surprisingly high, one thousand taels of silver."
Cui Zhehan, "Okay, I understand."
Lu Zeyi didn't expect Cui Zhehan to have this attitude. If he had known that Cui Zhehan would be so easy to talk to today, he should have gone to bed early last night.
"By the way, the higher-ups are going to increase the quantity, so please contribute the portion that your Lu family will use this month."
"Uncle, this is unacceptable. Lu Yuan will find out."
Cui Zheli said, "We don't need a month's supply. Just seven days' supply will do. Your Lu family can allocate seven days' supply. I think you have a way to prevent Lu Yuan from noticing."
"This...it's safer to arrange for workers to work the mine overnight in the name of the government."
Cui Zheli said, "No matter what method you use, you must provide seven more days' supply. I will return to Beijing after seven days and take this batch of goods with me."
"Uncle, the weather is getting colder after the Mid-Autumn Festival. Do we still need to continue mining?"
"Don't mine for now. Wait for my news."
A quarter of an hour later, Lu Zeyi left Cui's house and went to Lu's iron mine. Yan Wei climbed over the wall of Cui's house, took a look at the tightly closed door of Cui's house, and pursed his lips. He didn't expect that Cui's family would reveal their true identity so quickly.
