The little ancestor of the family

Chapter 245 Testing Medicine

"Yes!"

Xiao Cui lowered her head and retreated submissively.

As she walked out of the room, her face immediately changed to a different expression.

What did you mean by that, Lord?

He actually fed himself medicine?

Isn't this a bit too... ambiguous?

Madam is still in a coma. Could it be that the Marquis can no longer bear it so soon?

Thinking that Lu Tingen had never even glanced at other women over the years, Xiao Cui became more and more complacent.

I didn't expect that the Marquis likes someone who looks like me!

If my wife could wake up later, would I have a chance?

Thinking of this, Xiao Cui didn't know where to put her hands and feet, and even her walking posture was different from before.

When the maid Qiao Yun saw her like this, she couldn't help but scold her, "Did you take aphrodisiacs? Why are you flirting like that? If you have nothing to do, go and sweep up all the fallen leaves in the backyard!"

Xiao Cui snorted.

"You're ordering me around? Who do you think you are?"

"Who am I? I'm the one who's in charge of you!"

Qiao Yun didn't expect Xiao Cui to dare to talk back to her, so she ordered two servants to take Xiao Cui to the backyard and watch her clean up the backyard.

Xiao Cui couldn't resist, and she cursed as she swept, "You bully bastard, do you really think I'm easy to bully? I'm just a maid? What's so great about that?"

Just wait, when I climb over your head, you will be the first one I will not let go! "

She held her breath and cleaned up the backyard.

After returning to the servants' room, he immediately took a shower, changed clothes, and cleaned himself up.

In the next few days, she always took advantage of the breaks between work to sneak into Lu Tingen's yard.

But Lu Tingen had long forgotten about her, and when he saw her for the second time, he didn't recognize who this maid was.

It was only when Xiao Cui took the initiative to mention the pills that Lu Tingen remembered it.

"Since you like it, it's okay to give you another one!"

Lu Tingen gave Xiao Cui another pill.

To be on the safe side, he decided to try it a few more times to verify the effect.

"From now on, you will come to me every morning to get a pill. Remember?"

"remember!"

Xiao Cui looked shy.

She had no idea that she had become a drug tester. She just thought that the Marquis was attracted by her appearance, so he treated her differently from others.

In order to make the Marquis have a better impression of herself, she would get up half an hour earlier every day, wash and put on makeup carefully before going to the yard to get the pills.

Fearing that she would look ugly, she even took out her savings of many years and bought two boxes of rouge.

Lu Tingen saw all the changes in Xiao Cui.

He watched this crude girl becoming cleaner and prettier day by day, and his feeling of surprise became stronger and stronger.

Could it be that this medicine really has such miraculous effects?

Thinking that he no longer has the handsome appearance he had when he was young, Lu Tingen was already tempted.

Why not give it a try?

This idea became completely firm when the Third Prince joked that he no longer had the high spirits he had in the past few years.

Just give it a try, you won’t die anyway.

Lu Tingen took his first heart-nourishing pill the day after he made the decision.

The taste of Yangxin Pills is sweet and sour with a hint of bitterness, but it is indeed delicious.

After eating it, I didn't feel any discomfort.

I just feel that I am in a better mood than before.

Lu Tingen looked in the mirror, hoping to remember this moment and compare it with the future.

Xiao Cui came in to serve, and when she saw the Marquis looking in the mirror, she praised him, "You look particularly energetic today!"

"Really?"

Lu Tingen was somewhat pleased with himself, but he knew that taking medicine would not have such a quick effect.

However, seeing Xiao Cui nod firmly with a bit of admiration in her eyes, Lu Tingen couldn't help but feel secretly proud.

I heard that the emperor recently summoned several Taoists to study the secret elixir of rejuvenation.

If Xinran's medicine is really effective, even if it cannot really restore youth, as long as it can make the emperor a little bit younger, it would be a great fortune.

By then, not to mention the Third Prince, even Prince Rui would have to look at him differently.

At that time, he will no longer be dependent on others, and no one except the emperor can dare to shit on his head.

Thinking of this, Lu Tingen felt better.

"My Lord, I haven't given Xiao Cui the medicine today!"

Seeing that Lu Tingen was in a good mood but had not given any medicine, Xiao Cui carefully reminded him.

Lu Tingen looked at the pills in the box. Xiao Cui had eaten five of them in the past few days, and he had eaten one, so there were only fourteen left. He said impatiently, "You don't have to try this medicine in the future, and don't come to the yard anymore!"

"This..." Xiao Cui was a little caught off guard, but seeing the Marquis's expression, she could only hold back her tears and humbly said, "Yes!"

Then he turned and left the yard.

It's a coincidence.

This pill originally contained ordinary hawthorn pills plus anti-inflammatory medicine.

Lu Tingen had been very angry recently and his throat was hurting badly. He took several doses of medicine but it didn't help much.

But after taking this Yangxin Pill, the pain in my throat disappeared little by little.

In addition, Lu Tingen felt that his appetite was much better than before.

Lu Tingen took stock of the changes that had taken place in himself, and was happy that what Ye Xinran said was true, this pill was really useful!

As for my appearance, I have been eating and sleeping much better recently.

Lu Tingen felt that he looked much better.

Although it wasn't as rosy as Leng Qingyu's, it was at least better than before taking the medicine.

After taking it for a while, if it is really effective, he will ask Ye Xinran to make a box and present it to the emperor!

Lu Tingen thought.

……

Leng Qingyu had to lie in bed every day and couldn't go out, and he was still a little uncomfortable.

So Ye Xinran found her some storybooks and some Go, intending to spend time with her.

Leng Qingyu was not interested in any of these.

"What I hate most is these boring and time-wasting things."

She looked at the pile of storybooks and said, "The stories in the storybooks are all the erotic fantasies of the writers. If I had this time, I would rather check the accounts in the store."

Seeing Leng Qingyu's restless look, Ye Xinran had to comfort her: "Uncle Wan is taking care of the store, there must be no mistakes. If you are really worried, I will go and get the previous account books back tomorrow, and you can take your time to check them."

Leng Qingyu looked at Ye Xinran: "Will anyone notice anything? Lu Tingen is watching this place closely. If he notices, all our efforts will be in vain."

"No, just say I want to see it."

Ye Xinran said, "My shop is about to open soon, so I'll take this opportunity to learn."

Leng Qingyu nodded when he heard this, "If not for all the things that happened at home recently, your shop would have opened a long time ago.

This is my fault, I didn’t plan well.”

Ye Xinran shook her head and said, "Making money is a small matter now. The important thing is to get the power of the Marquis' Mansion.

Once Lu Tingen is dealt with, there will be time to arrange other things."

"Ok!"

Leng Qingyu nodded in agreement.

After the matter was finalized, Ye Xinran went to the silk shop that same day and asked Manager Wan for last month's account book.

"My lady hasn't been here for a long time? Is she okay now?"

Shopkeeper Wan was a little worried.

"Mother has been in a coma recently!" Ye Xinran told the truth.

Shopkeeper Wan's heart trembled, and the account book in his hand fell to the ground with a "pop".

"How could this be?"

Ye Xinran looked around and saw that several shop assistants were staring at this place, so she said to Shopkeeper Wan: "Shopkeeper Wan, let's go inside to discuss the details."

Upon hearing this, Manager Wan immediately led Ye Xinran into the reception room at the back.

The reception room is usually used to receive distinguished guests, so it is very concealed.

After Ye Xinran entered, she told Manager Wan the real situation.

"Because someone wants to harm her mother, she is just pretending to be unconscious now, it's not real."

"You mean, my lady is okay?"

Shopkeeper Wan felt relieved.

"Well, it's mainly to fool the rest of the family. After a while, when the time is right, mother will show up."

"That's good!" Shopkeeper Wan said, "Since we're all resting, why don't you relax and take a good rest instead of looking at the account books?"

Ye Xinran smiled, "Uncle Wan, don't you know my mother? She can't sit still, and doesn't like to read other things, so she can only spend her time reading account books."

Shopkeeper Wan also smiled helplessly, "Young lady is like this. She has been interested in these accounts since she was a child. She can't play the piano or paint, but she can do accounting. One of her can do two of mine!"

Hearing the teasing from the shopkeeper Wanwan, Ye Xinran also started laughing.

"Mom was born to be a business person."

"correct!"

Shopkeeper Wan seemed to have remembered something, and he stopped smiling and said, "A few days ago, Lu Zhiyi came to the store and said he wanted to take care of the store's accounts.

She was in charge for a while before and secretly took 500 taels of silver from the account. The young lady hasn't come to settle the account with her yet, so how can she have the nerve to come here again?"

"Lu Zhiyi is here too?"

Ye Xinran was a little surprised. "It seems like they really have a sure win!"

"what is going on?"

Ye Xinran just said that someone wanted to harm the young lady, but did not specify who it was.

Shopkeeper Wan couldn't help but ask.

"Once the truth is revealed, let your mother tell you in person." Ye Xinran said.

"I don't have time to go to my shop these days, so I'll have to trouble Shopkeeper Wan to help take care of it for me."

"Little things, little things!"

Manager Wan agreed repeatedly.

"Even if you don't open the shop, are you still going to keep those people you hired? It's not a small amount of money to keep them for nothing!"

"Just keep it!"

Ye Xinran said, "These people have been trained almost completely. If we let them go and find new jobs, it will be difficult to find them again.

If we hire new people, we have to teach them all again, which is not going to work.”

After hearing what Ye Xinran said, Manager Wan no longer mentioned the matter. He just helped Ye Xinran pick out the account books and sent her out.

When Ye Xinran went back, she went around the corner and bought the walnut cloud paste that Leng Qingyu liked.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw Lu Zhiyi.

"Sister, where have you been?"

Lu Zhiyi seldom talks to Ye Xinran.

However, when he saw what she was holding, he took the initiative to greet her.

"I went to the store and got the account book."

Seeing that Lu Zhiyi saw the account book in her hand, Ye Xinran simply didn't hide it.

"Oh? Last time, Manager Wan clearly said that the account book cannot be shown to others casually. How come the manager agreed when my sister went to get it?"

There was unconcealable jealousy in Lu Zhiyi's eyes.

"How should I know? Maybe Manager Wan can tell people by their appearance."

Ye Xinran said, "I look more innocent than you, so Shopkeeper Wan trusts me more."

"You bullshit!"

Lu Zhiyi seemed to have been touched on a sore spot and immediately retorted loudly.

"You know whether it's nonsense or not!"

Ye Xinran continued to walk forward, and seeing Lu Zhiyi blocking the way, she mercilessly bumped her with her shoulder, knocking Lu Zhiyi aside.

"Lu Xinran! Stop right there!"

Lu Zhiyi stood behind her and shouted, but Ye Xinran ignored her and went straight back to her room.

"These account books are enough to see us through customs."

Ye Xinran put the account book on the bedside and said to Leng Qingyu with a smile.

Leng Qingyu was still lying on the bed. When he saw the account book, he immediately picked up one and slowly flipped through it. "Then I'll read it slowly. I hope Lu Tingen can be tricked sooner."

Lu Tingen has been in a good mood these days.

In particular, news came from the northern border that the food and fodder being transported to the northern border were robbed along the way.

When the third prince heard the news, he praised him greatly.

"Lord Lu is still as sharp as ever. You still need to pay more attention to the things in the Northern Frontier!"

These things excited him extremely.

He needs someone close to him to share his joy.

Naturally, this caring person can only be Ning Yuer.

Ning Yuer was angry for a long time last time because of the painting incident.

But when she heard that the old lady was really exiled to Ningguta, she felt a little bit reluctant.

I can understand the Marquis’s anxiety.

These days she has been looking forward to Lu Tingen coming to see her and sharing her heart with him.

I have been waiting until today.

"My Lord, you are finally here!"

Ning Yuer hugged Lu Tingen and refused to let go.

After the last lesson, Lu Tingen didn't dare to cause trouble in the main hall, fearing that he would be caught by Lu Changning again. He could only endure and say, "You little devil! See how I deal with you tonight!"

Seeing that Lu Tingen was in a good mood, Ning Yuer put her face against his chest and asked, "My Lord, do you have any good news to tell me today?"

Lu Tingen straightened her body and said, "You have suffered so much over the years. Our family will be reunited soon. You and Changning will be able to return to the mansion soon!"

Ning Yuer was also very surprised to hear the news, "Really? Really?"

"Of course!" Lu Tingen answered affirmatively.

"Great! Great!"

Ning Yuer wiped the tears from her eyes and said, "Today is a happy day. I want to have a good drink with you, my Lord. You are so kind to me. I will go get two side dishes and a pot of good wine."

That’s exactly what Lu Tingen meant.

He narrowed his eyes and nodded.

By the time Ning Yuer had finished packing and called him to eat, Lu Tingen had already taken a nap.

"Changning is back too! Lord, let's have a reunion dinner in advance today!"

Ning Yuer's face was full of smiles.
