"Okay, Lao Li, Yi'er's cooking skills are still good. You can take it and heat it up." The old lady looked at the housekeeper and gestured.
"But the master was diagnosed with three highs not long ago, and the doctor told him to eat light food. This..." The housekeeper glanced at the box in Wen Chengyi's hand and didn't even take it.
Does your father also have the three highs?
The sugarcane shrimp was a bit greasy.
Wen Chengyi stood there somewhat awkwardly. He didn't know any of this, he only remembered that his father liked to eat this dish before he left home.
Just when the atmosphere was tense, Wen Ruohai broke the silence with a voice, his expression returning to normal: "Take it down and heat it up. It's okay to eat a little occasionally. I'm craving it too."
He drank his tea slowly and leisurely.
"Yes, Master."
The old butler took the box from Wen Chengyi's hand, bowed, and walked out.
After a while, the soup was served, one bowl for each person. It had been simmered for several hours, and the dining room was immediately filled with a faint medicinal aroma.
The Wen family has always been particular about food, with a bowl of soup before meals. After the old man retired from the front line, he became obsessed with health preservation, and the family would have a medicinal meal every now and then.
Wen Chengren is a sickly person. He has been weak since childhood and has drunk countless medicines. The medicinal food that smells good to others is disgusting to him.
"At least drink a sip. The ginseng we have today is very rare and will only benefit your body." Lu Yuan advised humbly beside him.
She was not bad looking, but there was always a hint of sadness between her brows, which made her look a little old. She didn't look like a wealthy lady in her early 40s at all.
She frowned slightly, scooped a spoonful of soup, blew on it gently, and brought it to her husband's mouth.
It’s not that I really love this man, I just want him to be my support.
Although the Lu family wasn't a small family, they were far inferior to the Wen family. Furthermore, the Lu family had so many male members. As a daughter once married, she was like spilled water, with no one in her family to truly rely on...
And now the Wen family is largely controlled by her sister-in-law and her husband's illegitimate daughter. If she doesn't hold on to her husband tightly, how can she and her little daughter survive in the Wen family?
People are all snobs.
When Wen Yin first came in, she was also met with a lot of cold stares, but since she gained power, this legitimate mother and daughter are no longer welcome. Even the servants who are more powerful give them a cold shoulder. It's simply hateful!
But how could she do that?
She has been spoiled since she was a child and has never worked outside. Unlike her sister-in-law who is capable and capable, she doesn't even dare to go out to work. Her daughter is still young, so she can only rely on her husband and live one day at a time. She considers it a good thing that she can raise her daughter well.
Lu Yuan carefully brought the soup to her husband's mouth and said flatteringly, "I see you've been coughing less recently. They say winter diseases are treated in summer. It seems you've been recuperating well recently. You should feel better this winter."
Wen Chengren hummed impatiently, opened his mouth, took a bite, and spat out again in the blink of an eye, spraying Lu Yuan's head and face.
"Husband, what's wrong with you?" Lu Yuan was startled. She didn't even bother to tidy herself up. She patted his back to help him calm down, fearing that something might happen to him.
If something went wrong with Wen Chengren, life would become even more difficult for them.
"Cough, cough, cough..." Wen Chengren turned his face away and coughed violently. After finally catching his breath, he turned around and waved his hand, shaking off her hand on his chest. His face flushed, he said, "Did Sister Dong beat the salt seller to death? Why is it so salty!"
The Dong Sao that Wen Chengren mentioned is the wife of the old housekeeper Chen Li. She is in charge of the kitchen and is good at making delicious soup.
