Tang Chen smiled and said, "Yes, I have seen it, and I know what I wanted to know."
Jiang Wanying saw a box in Tang Chen's hand and asked curiously, "What is this?"
"It's a gift from a friend," Tang Chen said without hiding anything. Seeing Jiang Wanying's curiosity, he handed the box over. Jiang Wanying opened the box and saw the flawless, slightly dry Tianshan Snow Lotus inside. She couldn't help but exclaim, "Wow, Tianshan Snow Lotus! Your friend is really generous!"
Tang Chen nodded and said, "It's quite generous. He heard that I had given birth, so he brought it to me to replenish my body."
Jiang Wanying was also seeing the legendary Tianshan Snow Lotus for the first time, so she curiously took it out of the box. Turns out, the treasure was only half. The half she had just seen was actually painted on the box. "So, it seems your friend lives quite far away. But why is there only half?"
Tang Chen continued, "It's a coincidence. His wife just happened to be ill, and this is the medicine he was looking for. He used half of it and had no more to use. To avoid wasting it, he simply gave it to me."
Jiang Wanying said that although it sounded a bit unreliable, it seemed that it was not much different from what Tang Chen said. Speaking of which, Shu Yang had been asking her where Tang Chen had been. They were not familiar with each other to begin with, and the only common topic they could talk about was Tang Chen. It made her anxious when they talked; either he didn't know the answer to the question or it was inconvenient for him to come back, which was really annoying. "Let's not talk about this anymore. Shu Yang just asked me where you were going. Hurry up and go in, she might get suspicious soon."
Tang Chen was slightly stunned and asked quickly: "Wow, what did you say?"
Jiang Wanying replied: "It's simple. I just said you ate the wrong thing."
"She believed it?"
"I believe it," Jiang Wanying said. Although the reason was simple, it really worked. Shu Yang didn't express any doubts when she said it. She guessed that she was just a blind cat that found a dead mouse. Tang Chen had suffered a lot from eating before.
...It is said that three women make a play. These four women sat around the same table, and their words added up to be much more exciting than the script.
They were chatting enthusiastically when there was a rapid knock on the door. Tang Chen glanced at Shu Yang and motioned her and Liu Ying to hide before opening the door.
But when he opened the door, he saw Qiu Liang gasping for breath with a mask on. "Wow, what's wrong? Are you sweating profusely from running? I feel suffocated just looking at you. Can't you take off the mask and breathe?"
Qiu Liang hurriedly said, "Let's not talk about the mask first. Why did you come here? It's so hard for me to find you. The children are looking for you."
After confirming that it was safe, Shu Yang and the other person who had been hiding in the inner room came out. Tang Chen asked casually, "What time is it now?"
"It's already dusk, and you didn't tell me you came out. If someone hadn't seen you here, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to get through today." As he spoke, Qiu Liang grabbed Tang Chen and wanted to take her away.
"I'm sorry, I saw you and the kids were sleeping well, so I wanted to come over to see Shuyang, so I didn't tell you. Don't worry, I won't do that again next time." Tang Chen followed Qiuliang out and said to Shuyang, "Shuyang, Wanying and I will go back today. We'll come and chat with you next time!"
"Well, be careful on the road."
...With Qiu Liang's help, Tang Chen had already arrived at the Qingliang Palace by the time he landed. After calculating the time in his mind, Tang Chen couldn't help but sigh, "It's really good that you guys know Kung Fu. You run so fast, like riding a horse. Wanying's Qing Gong is pretty good too!"
"..." Jiang Wanying, who had just stopped to take a breath, glanced at Wang Nianqing, who was talking to the Qilin Guards not far away. Although Wang Nianqing was wearing a mask, Jiang Wanying recognized him at a glance.
Tang Chen went up and nudged Jiang Wanying, but when she didn't respond, he called out a few more times, "Wanying, Wanying, what are you looking at? Your eyes are wide open."
Qiu Liang said, "She saw the person she wanted to see. Let's go back and see the child first. Shuang'er, I don't know what she ate, she keeps vomiting and has diarrhea."
Tang Chen, who was originally planning to gossip some more, suddenly became panicked when he heard Qiu Liang say Shuang'er was sick: "What! Why didn't you tell me when we were on the road just now!"
Qiu Liang explained: "The doctor is already seeing patients. I'm afraid you'll be anxious, so let's go there first."
When they hurried back, the doctor was no longer in the room. Little Tuanzi had fallen asleep next to Shuang'er. Looking at Shuang'er's pale face, Tang Chen felt so distressed that he whispered to the nurse beside him, "Where's the doctor? He's gone? What happened?"
The nurse replied, "She said she had an upset stomach and would be fine after two days of recuperation. She was also told not to eat longans anymore."
Tang Chen thought carefully. Speaking of longan, he had never let Shuang'er eat this fruit with seeds since she was little. Fortunately, it looked like the situation wasn't particularly serious. He would have to be more careful in the future. "Longan? I had red date and longan soup this morning. Is it an allergy?"
The wet nurse said, "That's probably what he meant. The doctor also said that after taking the medicine, the vomiting shouldn't happen anymore, but there might be a rash on the body, so he left some ointment. If the child scratches the rash, it might leave a scar, so be careful."
Tang Chen heaved a long sigh, then gently kissed the sleeping Shuang'er on the face and said, "Oh, I see. Let's all be more careful from now on. Look at this child, he's lost weight from vomiting. Where's the medicine? Have you prepared it yet?"
The wet nurse said that judging by the time, it should be almost done: "Yeah, it should be almost done."
Tang Chen then ordered, "Qiuliang, go get some maple syrup and give Shuang'er the medicine. I'm afraid she'll vomit it out because it's too bitter."
"yes."
...At dawn the next day, the light in Tang Chen's bedroom hadn't been turned off. The nurse who was taking care of Shuang'er couldn't help but doze off. When she woke up, she saw Tang Chen still standing by the bed. After wiping the saliva from the corner of her mouth, she stepped forward and whispered, "Madam, you've been watching all night. It'll be dawn soon. You should go to sleep."
Tang Chen shook his head and said, "It's okay, I can still hold on. Shuang'er's mother is not around, and I am her mother. I have to see her get better before I can rest assured."
After pouring Tang Chen a cup of tea, the wet nurse said, "Madam, you don't have to worry too much. Children of this age, whether it's Sister Shuang or Brother Yi, are really prone to illness. Once these minor illnesses are over, they will rarely get sick in the future."
