Yin hour 4:45
Xiao Lingyu got dressed and took the medicinal herbs that Su Ningjie brought from Lu Mansion into the kitchen, and quickly replaced the water in the three large vats with spiritual spring water.
It took half a cup of tea to boil the medicine for Old Madam Xiao, and then the servants of the Xiao Mansion went into the kitchen.
The servants of the Xiao Mansion saw that Xiao Lingyu had gotten up much earlier than them and had already prepared the medicine!
I secretly said that it was not good!
The second wife repeatedly told them to get up half an incense stick of time to do the work, but they still got up late.
"Miss, let me do it." Wang Ming, the chef of the Xiao Mansion, was so scared when he saw Xiao Lingyu reaching out to grab the kitchen knife that he quickly ran over and took the knife aside.
Xiao Lingyu was a little surprised when he saw that it was Wang Ming. "Chef Wang, didn't I give you a bond and let you leave? Why did you follow me?"
"I don't want to leave, so I want to stay and cook at the Xiao Mansion."
The real reason is that the Xiao family treats servants better than other aristocratic families and never sells slaves easily.
When the Xiao family suffered this disaster, most of the family servants were unwilling to leave.
"My dear Miss, you were exhausted from the journey yesterday. You should rest more. Tell me what you want to eat and I will make it for you right away."
"Today I will cook the medicinal food myself."
"No, Miss. If the Duke knew about this, he would feel bad for you."
"If you don't tell me, my grandfather won't know."
Wang Ming couldn't stop him, so he arranged for people to wash and cut all the ingredients, and tried his best to prevent Xiao Lingyu from taking action.
Half an incense stick later, Liang and her men hurried to the kitchen.
She felt that she had gotten up early enough and Yu'er should not have gotten up yet.
She was guarding the kitchen door, and Yu'er came and persuaded her to go back.
"Yu'er, when...when did you come to the kitchen?"
"Second Aunt." Xiao Lingyu smiled and looked up, "Grandmother's medicine will be ready in half an hour."
Liang looked at the medicine furnace bubbling with steam and said, "Okay, let's send it over together."
"Grandma, there are us too." Xiao Xier brought his father and brothers to the kitchen front yard.
Liang turned around and looked, her eyes instantly brightening.
The light was too dim last night, and the faces of the Su family members were not clear enough.
At this moment, Su Xingyi was walking against the morning light with his three children, like a god descending to earth.
The servants nearby were stunned by the looks of the Su family members.
Especially Su Xingyi, his appearance is no less impressive than that of the eldest prince.
They had witnessed Feng Jinyu's elegance from afar at the Duke's Mansion.
Did the son-in-law say something different from what was written in the imperial edict, or did they hear it wrong at that time?
Liang came back to her senses and glanced at the servants.
The servants were so frightened that they quickly looked away and lowered their heads to do their work.
"Okay, okay." Liang touched Xiao Xi'er lovingly, "Let's go together."
Then she pinched Su Ning'an's little face involuntarily, "Grandma has already made arrangements. I'll make sure you have enough to eat."
Suningan: It turns out that my mother’s family is really nice.
"I've troubled my uncle and aunt these past two days."
Old Madam Xiao was healed by the aroma last night and slept until two quarters past noon. She felt much lighter than when she woke up in the morning.
Liang heard the noise from inside, exchanged a glance with Xiao Lingyu, gently pushed the door open, and entered the room with two maids.
Xiao Lingyu followed behind, hiding behind two maids.
"Mom, you look very good today. I guess you slept well last night."
Madam Xiao sniffed, glanced at the dark medicine on the tray in the maid's hand, and frowned, "This is the best sleep I've had since my exile. Perhaps it's because Yu'er is coming back."
"Then drink this bowl of medicine."
"I won't drink the decoction. I've been drinking the prescription prescribed by the court physician for so long, but my health hasn't improved significantly. I'll ask the imperial physician to take a look when I return to the capital."
Liang said, "This medicine today is a good medicine. It was brewed by Yu'er herself for you."
"You don't even drink good medicine. It's too bitter... Who do you think brewed it?"
"Grandma, it's me."
Xiao Lingyu walked out from behind the two maids, picked up the medicine, blew on it gently, handed it to Old Madam Xiao, and said with a smile:
"Grandma, it's warm enough to drink now. After we finish drinking, we can have breakfast..."
Old Madam Xiao felt like she was dreaming, rubbed her eyes, and twisted her thigh.
pain!
I'm not dreaming!
"Yu'er, is it really you who's back?"
"Grandma, it's me, Yu'er."
Madam Xiao happily wanted to hug Xiao Lingyu, but Xiao Lingyu promptly handed her a spoonful of medicine and said, "Grandma, be good. Drink the medicine first, and then you can hug me."
"Okay!" Old Madam Xiao opened her mouth and drank the medicine obediently.
Looking at his precious granddaughter right in front of him, with a rosy face and no trace of suffering, he felt very happy.
At this moment, it seemed that what she was drinking was not medicine, but sugar water.
Old Madam Xiao caught a glimpse of a delicate little girl at the door, but when she looked closely, she disappeared.
Is her eyesight blurring due to old age?
"Dad, I left some belly." Su Ding'an touched his bulging belly and came to Madam Xiao's yard. "Is great-grandmother getting up?"
Xiao Xier said, "I just went in and saw that mother was feeding her great-grandmother some medicine. She will have breakfast in half an hour. She is old and our sudden appearance would scare her. We have to wait for mother to call us before we can go in and pay our respects to her."
"Yeah, we get it."
After drinking the medicine, Old Madam Xiao grabbed Xiao Lingyu's left hand and spread out her palm.
Old Madam Xiao moved too quickly, and Xiao Lingyu had no time to pull his hand back.
The faint lotus-shaped scar on the palm of her left hand suddenly appeared in Madam Xiao's sight.
