What she was thinking about at this moment was - medicinal food.
It just so happened that she had the tools of [medical genius] and [excellent cooking skills]. Combining the two, making medicinal food could be a simple matter.
So she took the initiative to talk to Nanny Song: "Mammy, I actually have a way to help the general recover without having to trouble him too much."
Hearing this, Nanny Song's curiosity was piqued, and she quickly asked Chen Yao, "What's the solution?"
Chen Yao smiled and said, "Do you know about medicinal food? I thought of using medicinal food to help the general recuperate."
Nanny Song seemed to be thinking about something. "I know about medicinal food, but does it really have a big effect?"
Nanny Song was not very clear about it either. She knew nothing about it herself and had only heard of such a thing.
Chen Yao explained to her: "Mammy, some medicinal foods do have minimal effects, but some medicinal foods are different.
It just so happens that I am quite good at making medicinal food. If the general is willing to try it, I can customize a set of medicinal food specifically for him to heal his injuries."
Nanny Song immediately looked at Chen Yao as if she were looking at a rare treasure, and said with a smile: "Nanny Chen, that's great, you are really amazing!"
Chen Yao smiled and said, "Mammy, it's not certain whether the general is willing to try it."
Nanny Song waved her hand and said, "The general will certainly agree to such a good thing, and he will definitely give you some extra compensation."
Chen Yao asked uncertainly: "Is that so?"
Nanny Song rolled her eyes and said, "Well, Nanny Shen, I'll go talk to the general."
Chen Yao said: "Okay, thank you for your hard work."
Qinglinyuan.
Xiao Yan lay on the bed, looking at the ceiling with some boredom, wondering how long it would take to recover from his injuries.
As he thought about it, Chen Yao's face inexplicably flashed through his mind.
During the time he was lying in bed recuperating from his injuries, he didn't have to think of ways to avoid Chen Yao, so naturally there was no possibility for them to meet.
After all, he would just lie there and would not leave Qinglin Courtyard, so the possibility of the two meeting was almost zero.
Thinking of this, Xiao Yan could no longer figure out his true thoughts at the moment.
He didn't know whether he should be happy or unhappy.
In short, his heart was far from as calm as he appeared on the surface.
I don’t know how long it took—
Nanny Song came over.
"General, there is something I would like to ask for your advice."
Xiao Yan said, "What's the matter? Please tell me."
Nanny Song got straight to the point: "It's like this, I just learned from Nanny Shen that she is very good at making medicinal food, and she can also customize a set of medicinal food treatment recipes specifically for you.
So, I thought, why not let her give it a try, what do you think, General?"
Hearing this, Xiao Yan was a little surprised: "Can Nanny Shen also do this?"
Nanny Song nodded and said, "Yes, it is indeed rare. Not many people know how to do this these days."
After a moment of silence, Xiao Yan asked Nanny Song, "But if that's the case, won't it be too much trouble for her? If she has to take care of Xiao Yue and me at the same time, how can she handle it?"
Hearing this, Nanny Song definitely understood what Xiao Yan meant.
So, he actually wanted to agree, but he had other thoughts and did not agree immediately.
Nanny Song smiled and said, "Nanny Chen should be able to take care of both sides."
Xiao Yan frowned and thought for a while before saying, "Tell her about the herbal diet treatment. I'll pay her separately. Also, if she feels she can't handle it during the process, she can terminate it at any time."
Nanny Song responded happily, "Okay, General, I'll go and convey your wishes to Nanny Shen."
Xiao Yan nodded and said, "Go ahead. Remember to emphasize to her that she shouldn't force herself to work so hard."
Nanny Song: "Okay, General, I'll tell her."
Xiao Yan: "Yeah."
After Nanny Song left, Xiao Yan couldn't stop thinking of Chen Yao's face.
I don’t know how her family could bear to let such a good girl like Chen Yao marry that old widower.
Oh, that old man, is he worthy?

Chen Yao also breathed a sigh of relief after hearing what Nanny Song conveyed.
Fortunately, Xiao Yan was not so stubborn and was able to distinguish the primary from the secondary in such matters.
Moreover, this way, she would have more opportunities to get closer to him.
The next day, morning.
Chen Yao brought the ingredients to the small kitchen of Qinglinyuan and started to prepare them.
She first made a medicinal pork rib soup, simmering it over low heat, and then moved on to other things.
After two hours of busy work, she finally finished preparing everything and put it in bowls and plates, ready to serve to Xiao Yan.
When Xiao Yan saw Chen Yao personally carrying the things over, he was stunned for a moment.
"General, it's time for lunch." Chen Yao spread out the food she brought, and then Chen An helped Xiao Yan lean against the bed.
Because it was difficult for him to move, Chen An also made a small dining table next to his bed so that he could eat there conveniently.
Chen Yao first put a bowl of soup on the small dining table and motioned Xiao Yan to try it.
Xiao Yan's left arm was stabbed and bandaged, but his right hand was free, so he held the soup spoon with his right hand, scooped a spoonful of soup, blew on it a few times, and put it into his mouth.
Suddenly, an extremely delicious taste burst on his tongue.
Xiao Yan was very surprised. Is this really a medicinal food?
Why does it taste so good?
Not only does it not have any unpleasant smell of medicinal herbs, but it also adds a very unique aroma and wonderful taste to the food.
He couldn't help but scoop up spoonful after spoonful until he finished the whole bowl of soup, and he still felt a little unsatisfied.
"Nanny Chen, this soup is so delicious." Xiao Yan couldn't stop praising.
Chen Yao smiled and said, "As long as you like it."
Xiao Yan pursed his lips and suddenly asked a little embarrassedly: "Can I have another bowl?"
Chen Yao paused, looked at him in surprise, and said, "Okay."
Then he served him another bowl of soup.
This time, Xiao Yan drank even faster than last time.
After drinking it, he asked Chen Yao the same question again, "Can I have another bowl?"
Chen Yao smiled and rejected him: "No."
Then he pointed to the other food on the table and said, "General, you have to eat these too. Don't get too full from the soup and can't eat these. That would be a waste."
Xiao Yan was slightly embarrassed and touched the tip of his nose sheepishly.
Then, in order to hide his embarrassment, he picked up the cup that seemed to contain milk and took a big sip.
But, this taste——
