Qian Duoduo opened the bottle cap, and the aroma of the wine immediately wafted out. Lu Yijian sniffed, then took a deep breath, slowly savored the aroma, and said with a smile, "Good wine. You can tell it's good wine just by smelling the aroma."
Liu Wan also smelled the aroma of the wine and said, "This is the first time I've ever smelled such a fragrant wine. It makes you want to drink it all in one gulp."
Qian Duoduo didn't keep them waiting long. He immediately took a wine glass and poured a small glass for each person. After pouring four glasses, the bottle of wine was gone.
Lu Yijian looked at the unmarked bottle and said with some regret, "How come it's all gone? They didn't even leave me a little."
Liu Wan smiled and said, "It's fine as long as it's there."
Lu Yijian nodded, sighed, and said, "That's true. If it weren't for this wine, not only would all these delicious dishes have been wasted, but I would also have felt so sad."
Qian Duoduo never expected that the mayor of Beijing would be so humorous at home. It's understandable that Lu Fen grew up to be so carefree and easygoing. Only when surrounded by love can a child grow up without worries.
Because there was so little wine, no one dared to drink it in large gulps. They could only sip it slowly while eating. As the wine gradually dwindled, Lu Yijian and Liu Wan both felt a surge of heat throughout their bodies, as if they were in a sauna.
Lu Yijian wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "This liquor is really strong!"
Qian Duoduo smiled and said, "Uncle, why don't you and Aunt go rest for a while so that the medicine can work in your body?"
Lu Yijian and Liu Wan exchanged a glance, feeling that since Qian Duoduo was a guest at their home, it wouldn't be appropriate for the two of them to go and rest.
Lu Fen smiled and said, "Oh dear, Duo Duo isn't an outsider, I'll take care of her. We two have some little secrets to share."
Lu Yijian and Liu Wan could only nod in agreement when they heard their daughter's words, since they were not as comfortable as they had been just now.
Liu Wan was a little better; her finger joints, knee joints, and ankle joints were a little swollen and sore. These were areas of rheumatism that she had developed while working in the cowshed during her time in the countryside. Even after returning to the city for so many years, she would feel very uncomfortable whenever the weather changed or got cold. What she didn't expect was that this small glass of wine would bring out all the discomfort in these areas.
As her husband, Lu Yijian could tell that Liu Wan was not feeling well. Qian Duoduo nudged Lu Fen, who was talking to her, and said, "Sister Lu Fen, you can talk later. Let's help Auntie back to her room first."
Lu Fen was taken aback, turned around and looked at Liu Wan, saying, "Mom, what's wrong?"
Liu Wan said, "My knees and ankles are sore and I can't put any weight on them."
Upon hearing this, Lu Fen immediately stood up and scooped Liu Wan up in his arms. Liu Wan let out a soft cry, but Lu Fen didn't stop and strode towards her bedroom.
Qian Duoduo was stunned. He was thick-skinned; this tiger girl really had some strength.
Lu Yijian was also stunned. If it weren't for some discomfort and pain in his body, especially in his left chest, heart, and right rib area, this wouldn't have happened to Lu Fen. However, he didn't dare let Liu Wan see his discomfort, so he said to Qian Duoduo, "I'll go to the study. Have a seat." After saying this, he nodded to Qian Duoduo.
In the living room, Lu Yijian initially felt only soreness and tightness, which was bearable. However, once the door to the study was closed, he lost his composure. His face turned deathly pale, cold sweat poured down his back, and he clutched his heart with his left hand while gasping for breath with his right hand protecting his ribs.
He couldn't understand how he had become like this just from drinking the health-preserving wine that Qian Duoduo had given him. Was that strong aroma of wine a lie? But then he thought about the relationship between Qian Duoduo and Lu Yuan. She shouldn't have poisoned him and his wife, especially since Lu Fen didn't have the same strong reaction as him and Liu Wan after drinking it. Moreover, Qian Duoduo herself drank it and had no problems. Could it be because they were getting old?
He suddenly remembered his routine physical examination report from six months ago, which stated that he had coronary heart disease and problems in the right lobe of his liver. At that time, he thought he was young and didn't take it seriously.
The area of pain he was experiencing was precisely where his heart and liver were located. He sat on the ground, panting heavily, but a slow smile was spreading across his face as he could feel the pain gradually subsiding. His shirt was soaked with sweat and clung stickily to his body.
When Lu Fen returned and saw that only Qian Duoduo was left, he asked curiously, "What happened?"
Qian Duoduo smiled and picked up the empty medicinal wine bottle next to her, saying, "That's the reason."
Lu Fen looked at the bottle and asked, "Isn't this supposed to be a health tonic?"
Qian Duoduo nodded, and Lu Fen then asked, "Then why is my mom feeling unwell?"
Qian Duoduo smiled and said, "Nourishing wine, nourishing wine, it naturally nourishes the body, but if there are lesions in your body, it will naturally heal the lesions." However, she did not expect that the nourishing wine, which had been diluted to this extent, would have such great effects.
Lu Fen asked, puzzled, "I drank it, but I didn't feel anything."
Qian Duoduo laughed heartily: "Because you're young."
Lu Fen laughed when he heard this and said, "Of course!" Actually, Lu Fen used to share a dormitory with Qian Duoduo and often ate the meals that Qian Duoduo cooked. Those were all grown in the farm space, and his physical condition had already been improved once, so how could he still have so many discomforts?
Lu Fen glanced at Qian Duoduo, who was a few years younger than him, rolled his eyes, and said, "I'm young, but aren't you even younger?"
Qian Duoduo nodded and said, "Yes, that makes perfect sense!"
Lu Bian rolled her eyes at the ceiling, stood up, and pulled Qian Duoduo to say to the nanny who was busy in the kitchen, "Aunt Liu, could you tidy up the table?"
A voice answered from the kitchen. Lu Fen then pulled Qian Duoduo to his bedroom, peeked around furtively, closed the door, and said, "Duoduo, I need your advice on something."
Seeing her acting like a thief, with a hint of girlish shyness on her face, Qian Duoduo asked curiously, "What's wrong? Do you have someone you like?"
Lu Fen readily nodded and said, "Yes, and you know this person too."
Suddenly, a figure flashed through Qian Duoduo's mind, and she asked, "Ye Siting?"
Lu Fen looked at Qian Duoduo in surprise and said, "How did you know?"
Qian Duoduo immediately grabbed her hand and pulled her to sit on a single sofa inside the room. Fortunately, both of them were relatively thin, so they didn't feel cramped.
Qian Duoduo immediately said, "Tell me quickly, tell me how you two sparked your love?"
