Ling Weicheng: “…”
In other words, he was worrying for nothing. Is there anything wrong with his body?
"Then why..." Ling Weicheng was too embarrassed to speak, so he said vaguely: "I haven't had much energy lately!"
Doctor Cheng remembered the recent "rumors" circulating in the Ling family mansion and immediately understood. He asked cheerfully, "Why, should I make you a pot of tiger penis soup to nourish you?"
These words made Ling Weicheng blush with embarrassment. He glared at Doctor Cheng shyly, then left with a flick of his sleeves.
Hearty laughter echoed in the Zhegui Courtyard. Shu Rui quietly asked Shu Xuhong, "Dad, what happened to my uncle?"
Shu Xuhong covered his son's mouth and said, "It's nothing. Don't talk nonsense when you get out!"
Shu Rui nodded with her big grape-like eyes, looking innocent.
Shu Xuhong broke out in a cold sweat, thinking, I'm an adult, why am I always thinking about those trivial things!
At Qingfeng Courtyard, Chi Xingyue slept until mid-morning. He rubbed his sore eyes and went to the bathroom to wash up.
When she came out, it was almost noon. No one complained that she got up late, they just worried that Chi Xingyue might be hungry because she hadn't eaten breakfast.
"Second Young Madam, what would you like to eat? I'll make it for you!" Baozhu asked while folding the quilt.
Chi Xingyue fixed her hair in front of the mirror and said, "I don't have much of an appetite. I'll eat with everyone at noon."
Baozhu said "hmm", cleaned up the house and went out.
Chi Xingyue put a hairpin inlaid with a pearl on her head and was about to show off when she heard Ling San cough.
"Ma'am, may I come in?"
Chi Xingyue nodded: "What's the matter?"
Ling San took out a package and placed it on the table: "Madam, I sent Chef Fang back to Ruyi Tower yesterday and received the 1,060 taels of silver from the shopkeeper.
I went to a money shop to exchange the banknotes for cash, which took some time, so I finally got it to you.
Madam, this is one hundred taels of gold and some small change."
Chi Xingyue didn't count and directly accepted the package: "Thank you for your hard work!"
Ling San scratched his head shyly: "It's not hard, it's what a subordinate should do.
Madam, how long will the master be gone? How could I have missed such a rare opportunity?
Chi Xingyue was amused by his silly expression and shook her head, saying, "I don't know either, but there will be another chance next time!"
Ling San felt a little regretful, so he bowed and left.
Chi Xingyue opened the bundle, glanced at the small gold ingot, wrapped it up again, and put it in the cabinet.
In fact, it has already sneaked into the space.
At noon, Chi Xingyue went next door to eat.
Ling Weicheng hesitated several times before finally asking when Baozhu came in to clear the plates, "Why hasn't Xingyue made any soup lately?"
Chi Xingyue then realized that she hadn't brought soup to the east room for several days. She glanced at Ling Weicheng's strange expression and immediately understood.
She pretended to be innocent and said, "Dad, whatever you want to drink, I'll make it this afternoon!"
Ling Weicheng's eyes lit up and he said quickly, "Anything is fine, do whatever you want!"
Chi Xingyue nodded, talked to the two of them for a while, and then went back to the west room.
Shu Muyun heard the door next door close, and then he glared at Ling Weicheng: "Are you so greedy that you actually ask your daughter-in-law for food!"
Ling Weicheng chuckled and made an excuse: "Xingyue's soup is delicious!"
In fact, it is the only temptation left after eliminating all possibilities.
If Chi Xingyue really has the ability to treat that kind of thing, it would be amazing, and he would be treated as a guest of honor by many powerful people!
Ling Weicheng didn't tell Shu Muyun his thoughts, fearing he might be wrong and embarrassed. However, the answer would be revealed soon.
Chi Xingyue stayed in the house until mid-afternoon before going into the side room to select ingredients.
She didn't plan to make it again as she had done before. After hesitating for a long time, she picked some dried fruits and prepared to make a pot of sweet and sour appetizing fruit soup.
Chi Xingyue brought a bunch of hawthorn, apples, raisins, apricots and other things into the kitchen, washed them, cut them into pieces and put them in a casserole, then added two bowls of well water and put it on the fire to boil.
Baozhu looked at it curiously and went back to the house to bring a small stool for her.
Chi Xingyue sat by the stove and waited for more than two quarters of an hour before taking the casserole down through the cotton cloth.
Put it on a tray and send it to the east room. Leave under Ling Weicheng's expectant gaze.
Chi Xingyue returned to the room, laughing like crazy.
Hahaha, let him drug Ling Jiheng and let him team up with his mother-in-law to do something bad. So, have you been itching for the past few days?
It feels great to cut the flesh with a soft knife and kill people with a broken heart.
Chi Xingyue didn’t know what her parents-in-law were thinking, but she was having a great time anyway.
She even forgot about the depression caused by Ling Jiheng's departure. She lay on the kang, kicking her legs randomly, and didn't dare to laugh out loud for fear of embarrassing the neighbors.
However, even more hilarious things are yet to come.
Doctor Cheng, who loves to watch the fun, actually made some tiger penis soup and sent it over.
And he didn't do it quietly, but in a grand manner, so that the entire Ling family knew about it.
The servants dared not laugh, as they were about to suffer internal injuries from holding it in. But the masters did not care and laughed until their stomachs hurt.
Ling Weicun slapped his thigh and said, "So Second Brother relies on these 'deviant methods' to improve his combat effectiveness. No wonder he hesitated and refused to tell me when I asked him that time!"
Liang Zhijun glared at him: "If you have the guts, eat it too, humph!"
Ling Weicun's self-confidence was shattered. He glared at his wife with gritted teeth and said, "Just wait!"
In the east room, Ling Weicheng looked at the earthenware jar on the table with a pale face.
"Wife, I really didn't mean it. That old man surnamed Cheng is the one who harmed me!"
Shu Muyun raised his hand to fan himself, feeling a bit hot in the middle of winter. "If you don't take my pulse, people will laugh at you. I'll be embarrassed too!"
Ling Weicheng hung his head, silent. After a long moment, he asked, "What should I do? Should I pour out the soup?"
Shu Muyun paused and said sarcastically in a cold voice, "Drink it, drink it all without dropping a drop. These are such expensive herbs, I can't waste my son's kindness."
They want to see a joke, don't they? Just watch, who knows who? We two well-fed men really don't know the famine of hungry men! "
Ling Weicheng was stunned. He didn't expect his wife to be so open-minded.
He picked up the earthenware jar and drank the tiger penis soup in one gulp. Not long after, two lines of blood from his nose dripped down his chin to the ground.
Shu Muyun became even angrier: "You're stupid! You drink when I tell you to, but you don't know how to share with others! With your physique, can you handle it?"
After saying that, she called out to Doctor Cheng: "Look at what you've done! You've made my husband suffer!"
Doctor Cheng stroked his beard cheerfully: "It's okay, it's okay. I still have you!"
When Chi Xingyue heard this, he quickly covered his ears.
Wow, that's really exciting. She's probably going to have a brother-in-law!
I hurried into the space, afraid of hearing something I shouldn't hear.
I don’t know, the one in the next door is stronger and has been making noises until dawn.
Ling Weicheng also went from being laughed at to being envied and hated.
