Sending flowers to someone who is sick has become common practice.
"My brother didn't tell me," Shi Xi said, puzzled. "Never mind, I'll find out when I get in."
"Then you can hold the flowers while I help you carry your things inside," Zhu Lin said.
Shi Xi hadn't been back to the Hua family for a long time. When she came back to see Hua Wenyin, she bought some tonics along the way.

Hua Family Manor.
Hua Wenying knew Shi Xi was coming back, so she was already waiting in the living room.
As soon as Shi Xi entered the living room, Hua Wenyin came forward to greet her.
Seeing the flowers in Shi Xi's hand and Zhu Lin carrying things in, Hua Wenying said with a smile, "You're back, why did you buy anything?"
Shi Xi: "I just bought some beauty and health supplements, and these flowers are..."
Hua Wenying had already taken the flowers and said, "These lilies are really beautiful. Please have a seat, I'll go get a vase."
Shi Xi: "Hey—"
Before she could say anything, Hua Wenying had already gone to find the vase.
Okay.
The maid brought up tea.
Shi Xi asked softly, "How has Grandpa been feeling lately?"
Maid: "The old master is in good health and eating normally these days."
That means you're not sick.
Hua Wenying picked out a vase, untied the flowers, trimmed some stems and leaves, and put them in the vase. She then asked Shi Xi, "Did Xuanhe tell you that I like lilies?"
"Uh... I heard from you that you've been in a bad mood lately?" Shi Xi decided to change the subject.
Hua Wenying's smile vanished instantly. "I probably haven't had any good inspiration lately. It'll be fine in a while."
"How about we go on a trip? To relax?" Shi Xi suggested.
Hua Wenying immediately retorted, "I'm not going out."
At the Hua family manor, he was annoyed and in a bad mood.
If we get out, won't we be entangled to death?
Hua Wenying placed the lilies in the vase, trimmed the leaves with scissors, and then, with a quick movement, cut off a flower that was in full bloom.
"Sorry, my hand slipped." Hua Wenying said with heartache and regret, "These flowers were blooming so beautifully."
"It's okay, it's okay. If you like it, I'll send it to you again next time." Shi Xi noticed that Hua Wenying's mood was off, but no matter how she tried to get her to say anything, Hua Wenying wouldn't say anything.
Hua Wenying changed the subject: "I heard the Xie family hasn't been doing too well lately?"
Shi Xi nodded. "A little."
"Do you need money? Xuanhe said it's not appropriate for our family to help openly, but I have some money here, you can take it first." Hua Wenyin handed over a bank card and said, "Don't be polite with Mom, I don't need any money while living here."
Shi Xi couldn't refuse, so she could only say, "He wouldn't accept my money."
Hua Wenying commented, "That's not bad. The reason they won't take your money is twofold: firstly, they're not so short of money that they have to ask a woman for help, and secondly, they care about your money and don't want you to be short of cash."
"I really don't need the money!" Shi Xi pushed the card back. "My own company is always profitable!"
"Then consider this money as my investment in your company, okay?" Hua Wenying stuffed the card into Shi Xi's bag, pretending to be formal, and said, "I'll be getting a share of the profits at the end of the year!"
Shi Xi had no choice but to accept it.
Hua Wenying: "I don't need much money. As long as you are doing well, I will be at ease."
Although I didn't get any answers about Hua Wenying's worries during this trip to the Hua family manor, she seemed much more relaxed and cheerful.
Hua Xuan came in from outside and saw the two chatting happily, so he joined the group chat: "What are you talking about? Why are you so happy?"
Shi Xi smiled and said, "It just so happens that when you were little, you climbed a tree and brought back a hornet's nest, and got stung all over your face."
Hua Xuanhe: ?!
