Chapter 33: Doctor Huai's Medicinal Field Destroyed
Several people took the elevator to the top floor together.
Juanjuan watched the elevator slowly ascend with curiosity: "Brother, don't we have to walk anymore?"
"This is called an elevator. There are manual and electric ones. This one is electric. It is the best elevator in Beiyang City." Si Jinchen explained to her.
The garden restaurant on the top floor is half open air and half indoors.
It's warm inside, and you can see the scenery outside through the transparent glass windows. The outside is now covered with snow and is not open for dining.
As soon as Mrs. Si came in, she met a lot of acquaintances. She greeted them and chose a nice window seat.
Juanjuan knelt on the stool, looking outside with her little face, and could see the white roof.
You can also see snowflakes falling from far away, which looks very beautiful.
“It’s so beautiful!”
Si Tian was afraid that she would fall, so he protected her with his hands: "It's spring now, and the scenery here is different again."
Madam Si asked Si Jinchen to order food.
When he ordered food for Juanjuan, he specifically asked for no chopped green onions.
Juanjuan is not picky about food except that she doesn't like onions.
"Isn't this the second master of the Si family? It's been a long time since I saw you eating out." A woman in a dress walked over.
The apricot-colored coat reaches all the way to her calves, and the waist-hugging design highlights her good figure.
A pair of black high heels made her look much taller.
"Ms. Xiao." Si Tian simply replied indifferently.
Xiao Yuan saw that Madam Si was also there and greeted her: "Madam Si, you are here too."
"I came here with my two children to buy some things. Miss Xiao hasn't been home to play for a long time."
"We just got engaged, and I was thinking of sending an invitation to the Si family in a few days." Xiao Yuan said, deliberately showing the ring on her hand.
"Congratulations." Mrs. Si had a very appropriate smile on her face.
"Thank you. Enjoy your meal, everyone. I'll be on my way over first." She said and walked towards the man on the other side.
Madam Si's smile faded: "Are you doing this on purpose to disgust you?"
"Mom, I don't care, why should you care?" Si Tian smiled faintly and turned to look out the window.
Xiao Yuan was one of his suitors before, but after he injured his leg and knew he couldn't stand up, she was eager to cut off all ties with him.
Juanjuan tilted her head and looked towards where Xiao Yuan and the others were: "The lamp is about to fall!"
"Huh?" Old Mrs. Si and the others looked puzzled and looked in the direction she was looking.
I only saw the chandelier on the ceiling suddenly fall down, and Xiao Yuan and her fiancé were sitting below.
The man ran away quickly and pushed Xiao Yuan who was blocking his way.
The chandelier fell and hit Xiao Yuan.
"Ah!" The restaurant immediately became chaotic.
Si Tian quickly took Juanjuan to his lap and said, "Juanjuan, let's go to another place to eat."
The restaurant was in chaos and everyone was heading downstairs.
The department store manager is having a headache today. Why do things keep happening one after another? If his boss finds out, he will be finished.
Now all we could do was to comfort the guests and send Xiao Yuan, who had fainted, to the hospital.
The Si family members did not squeeze into the elevator, but waited until most people had left before taking the elevator down.
"Uncle, aren't we going to eat?" Juanjuan sat on his lap and looked at him with her head tilted.
"Let's go to another place to eat. We can watch shadow puppet shows there!" Si Tian rubbed her little head.
"What is shadow puppetry?" Juanjuan's little head was full of question marks.
Every time she comes out, she discovers a lot of things she doesn't know.
"You'll know when you see it in a while." Si Tian went to the first floor and asked the driver to drive over. They went to a Chinese teahouse.
I asked for a seat near the front so that Juanjuan and Si Jinchen could see more clearly.
Juanjuan saw beautiful silhouettes appearing on the stage. These silhouettes were vivid and flexible, and were accompanied by sounds and musical instruments, which made her fascinated.
She never took her eyes off the food while she was eating. In the end, Madam Si was afraid that she was not full, so she let her watch while she fed her.
When she finished eating, the shadow play was over.
"Does it look good?" Si Jinchen looked at her with a smile.
"It looks good." Juanjuan nodded seriously.
There was no shadow puppetry at the end, only opera, but it was still very novel to Juanjuan.
Si Tian saw that she was so sleepy that her eyes were almost closed, but she was trying hard to open them and take a look.
He asked Bailing to bring Juanjuan to him, and just held her in his arms. After a while, the little girl fell asleep completely.
Si Jinchen was so sleepy that he could hardly open his eyes. Old Madam Si held him in her arms, and the little guy fell asleep on her shoulder.
He had the car driven to the door and carried the two sleeping children back to the Governor's Mansion.
Governor's Mansion, Study.
Siming looked at the candy wrapper in his hand and asked, "Did you find this note in the cigarettes you bought?"
"Yes, I felt something different about the touch, but I didn't think much of it. Ms. Curly said I smelled like candy, but you know I don't like candy."
"I thought there might be something wrong with the cigarette, so I opened it and saw this candy wrapper stuffed inside." Adjutant Qi explained the situation clearly.
"The Liu family is indeed restless." Siming tapped his fingers on the table.
"General, we don't know who sent this note, and could it be a scam?" Adjutant Qi said with some concern.
"You go and investigate this matter yourself. Don't let anyone notice any flaws. We will pretend we know nothing." Si Ming also suspected that someone had set a trap.
This is to trap me, and also wants to drag the Liu family into it.
"Yes, I'll go now." Adjutant Qi immediately turned around and went to investigate the matter.
Siming stood up and walked to the balcony, looking at the location of Beiyang City: Everyone is eyeing the Beiyang City cake, and everyone wants to have a piece of it, but it depends on whether I agree or not.
"General, Doctor Huai is here." The housekeeper walked in at this time.
Siming turned his head and looked outside the door: "Sitian and the others haven't come back yet, let him wait in the living room."
"General, Doctor Huai is here to see you. He's not feeling well." The housekeeper explained tactfully.
"Not good?" Siming looked at him with some confusion.
"Doctor Huai looks like he's been beaten. There are wounds on his face and body." The housekeeper recounted everything he saw.
"I'll go and take a look." Si Ming came out of the study and went directly to the reception room on the first floor.
Doctor Huai's face was covered in wounds, but his clothes had been changed. "Doctor Huai, what happened to you?"
"General, I don't know what happened. Yesterday, I went to our herb garden, and a group of people rushed out and beat me up without saying a word. They also destroyed our herb garden."
"This is the foundation of our family, left by generations of ancestors! The medicinal herbs here were cultivated by our ancestors with great effort. I am really sad that it was destroyed this time."
Doctor Huai said this while wiping his falling tears with his sleeves.
