Chapter 252 Daiyu's Request
Three years later, Lin Ruhai's time will come.
Yuan Hongqu had everything prepared. Even if Lin Ruhai was left with only one breath, he would keep him alive until Daiyu came of age!
As for whether Lin Ruhai was living a life worse than death during this period, Yuan Hongqu couldn't care less.
After eating the bird's nest porridge and taking the medicine, Lin Ruhai felt much better and his complexion improved significantly.
Seeing that her father was getting better, Daiyu was relieved and then returned to Jiaoyun Garden with Yuan Hongqu.
"Granny, will my father wake up tomorrow?" Although her father looked much better, Daiyu was still worried.
Despite Yuan Hongqu's repeated attempts to comfort her, Daiyu still tossed and turned, unable to sleep.
In recent years, Daiyu has rarely stayed up this late.
"Lord Lin will definitely wake up tomorrow. You should get a good night's sleep. Otherwise, if he sees that you haven't slept well and look haggard, he'll probably worry, which won't be good for his health."
Upon hearing this, Daiyu's mood did not improve; instead, she became even more hesitant to speak.
“Granny, I know you're the head of the hospital now, and a high-ranking official, so it's inappropriate for me to ask you to do something like this, but…”
“Daiyu, if you discard the fact that I am your nanny just because I have become some kind of dean or high-ranking official, I will immediately resign from the position.” Yuan Hongqu did not hesitate at all; that was indeed what she thought.
She became the dean so that Daiyu could feel a sense of belonging in the academy and not reject the academy environment. Now that Daiyu is adapting very well, it doesn't matter whether she becomes the dean or not.
As for the title of a third-rank official, she had long since given up on it. It was a protective shield for the dean. As long as she resigned from the position of dean, she would also resign from the official position.
“Granny…” Daiyu was moved. She knew what Granny’s current status and position meant.
She didn't allow the nanny to accompany her to her classmate's house for two reasons. Firstly, the classmate would indeed be somewhat restrained because of the dean's visit. Secondly, Daiyu didn't want Yuan Hongqu to lose the dignity befitting a dean and high-ranking official.
In her mind, her nanny should be that valiant headmistress, decisive and awe-inspiring.
"What was it that you felt was inappropriate? As long as it concerns you, there's nothing inappropriate about it," Yuan Hongqu asked softly.
"I would like to ask Granny to help my father recover. I still remember what my body was like before. It is all thanks to Granny's careful care that I am who I am today..." Daiyu was a little ashamed. She knew how capable Granny was. She could still dream about Granny's big courtyard and house.
“Alright, once the imperial physician says that Lord Lin can eat normally, we’ll work together to develop medicinal cuisine and have him practice the Eight Pieces of Brocade with you… For men, the Five Animal Frolics is better. There’s a Taoist priest at Kongyun Temple outside the city who’s good at the Five Animal Frolics and also quite good at Tai Chi. We’ll invite him to teach Lord Lin.”
Since Daiyu had such a plan, Yuan Hongqu had no choice but to take it seriously.
Daiyu was finally relieved to receive a definite answer from Yuan Hongqu.
Yuan Hongqu tucked the blanket around Daiyu, and seeing that she had fallen asleep, she went out to instruct Zijuan.
"Zijuan will go to the academy tomorrow to ask the young lady for a few days off."
“Mr. Yuan, when you go to the academy tomorrow, just ask for leave for the young lady. Zijuan is always by the young lady's side and cannot leave her easily,” Lan Su said with a smile.
Yuan Hongqu glanced at her. "I haven't settled the score with you for what happened this morning, and now you're provoking me again. Lan Su, you think you have someone to rely on just because Lan Cong is here, and you're even starting to tease me now?"
Everyone knows that if Lin Daiyu doesn't go to the academy, then their headmaster certainly won't be there either.
This is the rule.
"Mr. Yuan, you are mistaken."
My brother and I have never really gotten along, from childhood to adulthood.
He was determined to beat me, but no matter how hard he tried, he was always just a little bit short.
We share the same views on major issues, but when it comes to trivial matters, we always mind our own business.
He can't control me, and I won't control him either.
This was the first time Lan Su had told Yuan Hongqu about her relationship with Lan Cong.
Yuan Hongqu had seen many ways siblings get along, but the way Lan Cong and Lan Su were was truly rare.
"Lan Su, it's just that I didn't get to eat a piece of cake."
As someone who lives in the martial arts world, you're still fussing over such a small thing.
"When Mr. Yuan makes a cake for the girl tomorrow, you can eat your fill then."
Xueyan was puzzled. Lan Su had been arguing with Mr. Yuan over a mere meal, and she would make sarcastic remarks about him over the smallest things. It was really pointless.
Lan Su wasn't just after that one bite to eat; she was after the fruits of her labor. She felt extremely resentful and frustrated that she hadn't tasted any of it herself.
From the moment she started whipping the eggs, she was filled with anticipation. If it weren't for the fantasy of tasting a freshly baked, delicious cake that kept encouraging her, she would have been whipping hundreds of eggs with ease!
She is highly talented, and she has never suffered such hardship or exhaustion while practicing martial arts.
The process of preparing those hundreds of eggs caused her arm to cramp, making it impossible for her to even hold chopsticks.
How could she not feel wronged!
Everyone assumed that she was a martial artist and that making eggs was just a trivial matter for her; no one understood her suffering!
Only the girl knew that she had also been given ginseng hydrosol to restore her strength, otherwise she probably wouldn't have been able to lift her arm today.
Lan Su pouted, looking aggrieved.
Yuan Hongqu usually only paid attention to Daiyu's subtle expressions and wouldn't really pay much attention to others, but Lan Su's expression was too obvious for her to ignore.
"Oh dear, our little heroine, what's wrong? Why are you feeling so aggrieved?" Tingyue came in from the courtyard and was surprised to see Lan Su's tearful expression.
"I've never been this easily teased before. Susu, come on, I'll get you some snacks." Xueyan came over and pulled Lansu, but Lansu shook off her hand and went out on her own, pouting.
Yuan Hongqu shook her head and followed.
This girl has been with Daiyu for a long time, and although she hasn't learned anything else, she has certainly picked up this little temper.
Daiyu's temper wouldn't be this bad now, but Lan Su's temper is getting worse and worse.
Could it be that Daiyu's temper has been transferred to Lansu?
“Yes,” Yuan Hongqu found Lan Su in a corner of the courtyard. Even when she was angry, this girl still remembered her responsibilities and would not stray too far from Daiyu’s residence.
Yuan Hongqu handed the item in her hand to Lan Su.
"snort!"
Lan Su gave a haughty snort, turned her head away, and refused to take the thing Yuan Hongqu offered.
