Nangong Ruoyi still had a gentle expression on his face, and replied slowly: "I know, Mom."
Nangong Ruochen came and sat down next to Yun Siying, put his arm around her waist from behind, and whispered in her ear: "Ying'er, who do you want to tease today?"
"You'll know soon." Yun Siying's eyes were wandering. She didn't expect that she wanted to play a trick on Liao Honglan. Achen could see it at a glance when he came back. Was her expression that obvious?
"Brother left sister-in-law there at the party last night and just ignored her, right?" Nangong Ruochen's words rang in her ears again.
She smiled and whispered in his ear, "Brother has been plotted against like that, but he still cares about her. What a masochist."
Soon, Aunt Chen brought out a bowl of black medicine and placed it in front of Liao Honglan with a smile on her face.
Liao Honglan reluctantly looked at the black medicine, her brows tightly knitted together, with a look of disgust in her heart. Chen Minhui looked at her and urged, "Honglan, drink the medicine quickly. The high fever will go away after you drink it."
"Okay!" She picked up the bowl resignedly, closed her eyes, and drank the medicine in the bowl in big gulps. After drinking two sips, she put the bowl on the table, with only a little medicine left in it.
"It's so painful!" She couldn't help but uttered, and the sound seemed to penetrate one's eardrums. Her expression suddenly became distorted, and her originally pretty face became somewhat hideous because of the pain. The bitterness spread wildly in her mouth, like a raging torrent, quickly invading every one of her taste buds, making it almost unbearable for her.
Tears welled up in her eyes and finally slid down her cheeks like a flood. The bitter taste did not only linger in her mouth, but seemed to have penetrated deeply into her soul, making her feel extremely uncomfortable and aggrieved.
"I really don't want to drink this medicine anymore..." she murmured, with a hint of tears in her voice. The bitter taste entangled her like a demon, causing her to feel a deep fear and disgust towards the medicine.
"Mom, is there any candy at home?" Her voice revealed a hint of pleading, hoping that there was something that could alleviate the terrible bitter taste. Her whole face scrunched up, as if the bitter taste had caused her facial muscles to lose control.
"Yes, drink up all the medicine in the bowl, I'll get it for you." Chen Minhui's face was a little gloomy. She had never drunk medicine before, and it wasn't very bitter. This daughter-in-law was also a rich girl, so why was she so squeamish?
"I drank it, it's too bitter." Liao Honglan shook her head vigorously, stood up and poured herself an enamel pot of water, drinking it with gulps, but the bitter taste in her mouth was not diluted at all.
Yun Siying sat on the sofa, her lips pressed into a straight line, restraining her trembling shoulders and lowering her head. She was really trying hard to hold back the smile on her lips. Nangong Ruochen noticed that something was wrong with him, so he pressed her on his legs, took off his military jacket and covered her head with it to block her from other people's view.
Nangong Ruoyi watched their every move, and now she understood that Siying must have added coptis chinensis to the medicine. Judging from Liao Honglan's expression, a little more must have been added.
Siying had also added coptis chinensis to the medicine he drank that year, just because he had offended her when he was young. She was so petty and vindictive, and she would take revenge whenever she had a grudge.
Thinking of his own embarrassment last night, which was caused by Liao Honglan, he decided to add fuel to the fire. Yu 놆 said to Liao Honglan: "Honglan, let me feed you myself!"
As he spoke, he stood up, his face still gentle. Liao Honglan watched his movements and immediately said, "No, no, I can drink it myself."
Then she went to pour a enamel pot of warm water and picked up the medicine bowl with a fearless look on her face. As soon as she closed her eyes, she began to swallow "gulp gulp gulp". Knowing that the medicine was almost finished, she quickly put down the medicine bowl, picked up the enamel jar and started drinking it "gulp gulp gulp".
Then, he sat on the sofa listlessly, his eyes full of grievance, tears rolling down his cheeks without stopping, and there was a tendency for them to fall more and more violently.
"Don't cry, I'll get you some candy." Chen Minhui was speechless. She thought, Siying is better. She is pretty, smart and capable, not spoiled at all. I don't know what the boss's eyes were like, he actually found such a person to be his wife.
Liao Honglan choked up and said, "Thank you, Mom."
Soon, the mother-in-law handed her a few White Rabbit candies and said happily, "Don't cry. If you keep crying, all your blessings will be gone. Besides, taking the medicine is for your own good. If you cry like this, people who know will think I am torturing my daughter-in-law."
Liao Honglan felt even more aggrieved, but she also noticed that her mother-in-law was beginning to be dissatisfied with her, so she hurriedly explained, "I'm sorry, Mom, I didn't mean that. It's just that this medicine was too bitter, and I couldn't help it."
"Okay, you have taken the medicine. Go to the room to rest and sweat it out. We have to catch the train at six o'clock in the afternoon!" Nangong Ruoyi's gentle voice sounded again.
"What? Going back today?" Liao Honglan was a little shocked. She looked at Nangong Ruoyi in disbelief, trying to see something from his face. Unfortunately, she saw nothing.
Nangong Ruoyi's face changed color and he said, "Well, the troops have received an emergency order, so there is no way to delay."
"Okay, then I'll go back to my room and pack my luggage." Liao Honglan dragged her weak body and staggered upstairs.
Chen Minhui looked at her eldest son who was sitting like a pine tree and said, "Your wife is still sick. Go upstairs to pack her luggage and let her rest for a while. She still has a high fever!"
Nangong Ruoyi closed his eyes and said, "Mom, is your son such a reliable person? I have already packed it for her when I got up this morning, so don't worry about it."
Liao Honglan, who was walking up the stairs, staggered when she heard what Nangong Ruoyi said. Fortunately, she grabbed the handrail in time and did not fall down the stairs. He had never helped her pack her luggage since they got married. What she said now was obviously a lie to her mother-in-law, but she couldn't say it directly.
Liao Honglan entered the room and saw a packed military backpack. She knew that it was Nangong Ruoyi's own packed luggage. My clothes are all in the closet, my shoes are on the shoe rack, and I can drag my sick body to pack all my luggage into my bag.
Groggy, she finally packed her luggage, but she had just drunk a bowl of medicine and two large porcelain jars of water, so she now felt the urge to urinate and couldn't go to the toilet.
