Seeing that she had upset him, Su Qinghe quickly comforted him.
"Alright, alright, Xiao Xi will definitely get pregnant in the future. After she finishes taking a few doses of tonics, I will give Xiao Xi another pregnancy fruit."
"I'll definitely stay in the little west room every night then, and work hard... um..."
Lin Xi was initially quite moved by his wife's words, but as she became increasingly inappropriate, he quickly covered her mouth with his hand.
"My lady, please stop!" Lin Xi blushed with embarrassment.
“If it were really like you, how would your offspring dare to come…” Lin Xi spoke the last few sentences very softly, and Su Qinghe, who was right next to him, couldn’t hear them clearly.
"Offspring? What?" Su Qinghe asked, puzzled.
"No, it's nothing, my wife. Let's hurry back. If we delay any longer, it will be dark by the time we get back. Brother Yuan is still waiting for us at home!" Lin Xi said, pulling Su Qinghe along and quickening their pace.
...
At the entrance of Cunshan Village, Su Qinghe returned the rented oxcart.
When they got home, they found Ji Yuan still busy in the kitchen, and they could smell a burnt smell from afar.
"My lady, Xiao Xi, you're back!" Ji Yuan heard the noise at the door, stopped wielding his shovel, and looked outside.
Su Qinghe walked into the kitchen and looked at the yellow object about the thickness of her little finger in the pot. Was this... potatoes or strips?
And they were potato fries that were slightly burnt on the outside!
"Hmm... Wife, dinner will be ready soon. Why don't you come in and sit down?" Ji Yuan looked at Su Qinghe somewhat nervously, instinctively not wanting her to see the food in the pot.
"You can't cook?" Su Qinghe asked.
"I can only cook porridge..." Ji Yuan's lips moved slightly as he answered softly.
He watched Lin Xi cook yesterday and thought it looked quite simple. Thinking that his wife would be coming home so late, he couldn't just cook some porridge for her dinner, so he wanted to learn from Lin Xi and make a stir-fried potato dish. But he didn't expect that potato shreds would be so difficult to cut...
I cut the pieces too thick, and even after stir-frying them for ages, the outside was burnt and the inside was still too tough to chew...
"Alright, from now on, Xiaoxi can take care of the cooking! You just need to focus on decocting the medicine."
After Su Qinghe finished speaking, she handed him the medicine she had just bought that day. Then, half-jokingly, she added:
"We now have two medicine bottles in our family, this is no easy task!"
Seeing that Su Qinghe not only didn't blame him but also found a non-existent excuse for him, Ji Yuan felt a surge of warmth in his heart and replied gently:
"Yes! Don't worry, my lady, I will definitely pay attention!"
Lin Xi was very quick and efficient, and a meal was ready in no time.
Three dishes and one soup: one vegetarian dish, one meat dish, and one soup. This was Su Qinghe's request.
Having grown accustomed to a life of delicacies since retirement, she can't stand going a day without meat. Moreover, Lin Xi is currently trying to improve her health and needs to eat more meat.
Therefore, Su Qinghe required that, in addition to breakfast, lunch and dinner should each include at least one meat dish.
Su Qinghe and Lin Xi are both natives of Tianhe County and like spicy food, but considering Ji Yuan's taste, Lin Xi did not make the meat dishes particularly spicy, and even cooked some meat in the soup.
"Thank you, Xiao Xi!" Ji Yuan knew that the meat in the soup was specially added for him, and he thanked Lin Xi gratefully.
"Brother Yuan, you're too kind. We're all family!" Lin Xi's ears turned slightly red, a little embarrassed.
"Ah Yuan can't handle spicy food very well, Xiao Xi, I'll have to trouble you to make another non-spicy meat dish next time!"
Seeing the two men so harmonious, Su Qinghe was very satisfied. Then, recalling the scene at the restaurant that day, she realized that she had been negligent.
“No trouble at all, my dear wife!” Lin Xi replied with a smile.
As night fell, Su Qinghe came to Ji Yuan's room and handed him the Jade Complexion Cream she had bought at the clinic that day.
"My lady, what is this?" Ji Yuan raised his hand in confusion.
"Jade Complexion Cream, I only remembered when I went to the clinic today. I was so busy treating Qingyu that day that I forgot you also had an injury on your face." Su Qinghe smiled and reached out to brush away a few strands of hair that were hanging down Ji Yuan's right cheek.
Ji Yuan instinctively wanted to hide, not wanting Su Qinghe to see the ugly scar.
He raised his hand in mid-air, then stopped moving, seemingly lost in thought.
Ji Yuan suppressed the urge to turn his head, his eyes lowered, and his curled eyelashes trembled slightly with tension.
The person in front of me was very quiet and looked very docile and obedient, as if he would not resist no matter what I did to him.
Looking at Ji Yuan like this, Su Qinghe felt a pang of pity.
She gently stroked the scar with her fingers.
"I asked the doctor to get her the best scar removal cream. If you apply it every day, your scar will disappear in no time!"
"Thank you, my lady!"
Feeling the warm touch on his cheek, Ji Yuan suddenly felt reluctant to let it go, and couldn't help but rub his cheek against the finger.
"hehe!"
Su Qinghe's sudden soft chuckle snapped Ji Yuan back to reality. Realizing what he had just done, a flicker of panic flashed in his eyes.
He immediately lowered his eyelids, buried his face in his hands, and felt his ears burning.
"I'm sorry..." Ji Yuan bit his lip, his voice barely audible.
Looking at Ji Yuan like this, Su Qinghe felt that some of her hidden attributes had awakened!
She reached out and lifted Ji Yuan's face, which was buried in his hands, and praised him generously.
"Ah Yuan, you don't need to apologize. You're doing very well, and your wife likes it very much!"
Su Qinghe smiled, her eyes crinkling. It seemed she was lucky; she had found another treasure.
"...If my wife is happy, that's good!" Ji Yuan said softly.
His face was being held up by Su Qinghe, leaving him no chance to hide, and his expression was completely visible.
For a moment, Ji Yuan felt as if he were standing naked in front of Su Qinghe, being scrutinized by her.
A strong sense of shame filled his entire mind, and he felt hot all over.
But he didn't dare to remove Su Qinghe's hand, afraid that she would get angry.
"Alright! I'm not teasing you anymore!"
Su Qinghe smiled, satisfied, and let Ji Yuan go. She walked a few steps to the bedside and looked at Ji Qingyu, who was still unconscious.
"Why isn't he awake after two days of medication! Didn't you apply the blood-activating and stasis-removing medicine for him?"
Su Qinghe frowned. Using both internal and external medications together should have a good effect, so why wasn't this person awake yet?
The man remained unconscious, and her character was unknown. If it weren't for the fact that he was Ji Yuan's younger brother, and she was afraid that Ji Yuan would be heartbroken if he died, she would have rolled him up in a mat and dragged him out to bury him long ago!
“I’m wiping it, my wife.”
Ji Yuan hadn't recovered from what had just happened, and when he heard Su Qinghe's somewhat displeased tone, he hurriedly tried to explain.
“Brother Yu took a lot of hits for me before, and his injuries are much more serious than mine.”
"After taking the medication these past two days, his condition has improved considerably compared to before. Most of the bruises on his body have also subsided. I believe he will wake up in another day or two!"
He walked up to Su Qinghe and tentatively reached out to grab her sleeve.
"I didn't mean to blame you, I was just a little anxious. Don't be nervous!"
Su Qinghe noticed a slight tugging at her cuff, quickly composed herself, and gently comforted him by taking his hand.
