Liu Sixi didn't stand on ceremony any longer, after all, this life-extending pill was really precious.
Song Jiuheng offered to take the two of them home, but Liu Sisi refused, saying she wanted to continue shopping.
On the way back, Liu Sixi asked, "Little sister, did you put something in the pills just now?"
"Huh? Why do you ask that, Fifth Brother? Wasn't Madam Song's recovery thanks to the life-extending pill?"
“Although the Life-Sustaining Pill is effective, it won’t work that quickly. Besides, I just examined Madam Song’s pulse, and her body is already more than twice as strong as it was before she took the medicine,” Liu Sixi added.
Liu Sisi scratched her head guiltily, "What could I possibly add? It's Fifth Brother's life-extending pills that are incredibly effective."
Seeing that his sister was unwilling to talk about it, he stopped asking.
He simply said, "Sister, I'm just worried that your secret might be discovered by someone with ulterior motives, which could be detrimental to you. You must be more careful in the future."
"I understand, Fifth Brother."
Liu Sisi and her brother returned to the shop and told Doctor Jiang and their parents about it.
"Well done! You saved a life on your trip. Your master's teachings were worthwhile." Doctor Jiang was very satisfied.
Liu Sixi handed five hundred taels to Doctor Jiang, saying, "Master, this is the silver note for the life-extending pill given by Uncle Song."
"Keep it for yourself! Save it for your wedding. Once your medical skills are a bit more advanced, your master will give you the formula for the Life-Sustaining Pill." Doctor Jiang did not accept the silver note.
Liu Sixi blushed as he said this, "Master, I'm only nine years old. It's too early to talk about getting married."
Liu Sixi put the silver notes back into her sleeve and took out all the gifts she had bought at Yujun Pavilion.
Liu Sisi took it and gave it to Wu Shi and Li Caiping to wear.
The belt was also given to Liu Sifu and Liu Dashi.
"Fifth Brother has such good taste; both Sister-in-law and Mother look good in them."
Li Caiping came out of the kitchen, wiped her hands somewhat embarrassedly, and then touched the hairpin in her hair.
"Thank you, Fifth Brother. My sister-in-law likes it very much."
"Mrs. Wu held the hairpin with great delight." This was the first time she had ever received a gift from her own child!
After chatting with Doctor Jiang for a while, Liu Sixi pulled Wu Shi to the back of the house and handed her five hundred taels of silver.
"Mother, take this. I don't need any money with my master."
"Alright, then I'll accept it. You must take good care of yourself while you're away."
Wu did not refuse, after all, Liu Sixi was still young, and it was good for her to leave her here.
Doctor Jiang said he had other matters to attend to in the valley, so he took Liu Sixi back with him and they didn't stay overnight.
Not long after the two left, Liu Sisi heard the sound of horses' hooves again.
Immediately afterwards, Gu Lingchen, dressed in fine clothes, got off the carriage, tossed his cloak to Asheng, and entered Chensi Food Shop.
The customers in the shop were curious about the identity of this ostentatious young nobleman.
"Sisi, little sister," Gu Lingchen said, his eyes fixed on Liu Sisi, who was sitting at the innermost table, and walked straight over to her.
"Young Master Gu, have you finished taking care of things at home?" Liu Sisi asked.
"Yes, I'm done with my work. I came out this time to see Doctor Jiang. I... well, I want to ask for some medicine to strengthen my father's body." Gu Lingchen almost let slip the secret.
"Then you should have come a little earlier. My fifth brother and Grandpa Jiang just left not long ago!"
"By the way, my fifth brother is now Dr. Jiang's apprentice!" Liu Sisi said with a hint of pride.
"Hmm, it's okay, I'm not in a hurry. I can go look for them in a few days."
When Liu Dashi and Wu Shi saw Gu Lingchen arrive, they both came over to greet him.
Liu Sisi took out 1,500 taels and gave it to Gu Lingchen, saying, "This is the money the shop has earned during this period, and this is your share."
"Don't give it to me yet, you can keep it for now! I'll ask you for it later if I need it." Gu Lingchen didn't care about this small amount of money at all; he just wanted to see Liu Sisi.
He also wanted to know how his illness had been cured.
Knowing it wasn't convenient to talk in the shop, Gu Lingchen took his leave.
"Sister Sisi, I'm heading back to my residence now. We'll meet again tomorrow at a pre-arranged location."
After Gu Lingchen finished speaking, he went out, got into the carriage, and left.
"Wow! No wonder this shop is so popular. Judging from that young master's attire, he must be the son of some high-ranking official."
People were whispering among themselves.
Liu Sisi ignored what they were saying; she genuinely didn't know Gu Lingchen's true identity.
At this moment, she was just thinking of asking her father to quickly find her a tutor to teach her to read!
