Not Bitter Medicine

Chu Qingshuang asked thoughtfully, “Why do you think 1 have worries?”

Li Wenyu blinked. “I don’t know, but you suddenly became unhappy.”

Chu Qingshuang chuckled. “Let’s eat. We’ll talk after eating.

“Ok.”

Chu Qingshuang focused her attention on the exquisite and delicious food and started eating with Li Wenyu.

Meanwhile, Li Shaoliang and Sun Xuezheng entered a private dining room. As Li Shaoliang’s mind raced through various thoughts

Earlier, while Sun Xuezheng was shopping and he waited by the carriage, a familiar pair of earrings caught his eye from a passing carriage…

They belonged to Qingshuang.

“Miss Sun, I suddenly have an urgent matter to attend to. Please have your meal, and I will cover the expenses. My apologies.” With that, he hurriedly left.

Sun Xuezhen reached out to persuade him to stay. “Hey…”

Li Shaoliang left Fuyuan Restaurant and analyzed in his heart. The carnage was not going to the Chu Village. Qingshuang was not going home. It was lunch time. Qingshuang might be out for lunch.

After figuring it out, he searched nearby restaurants for their family carriage. If he saw it, he would recognize it at a glance.

Finally, on his third attempt, he spotted their carriage and found Chu

Qingshuang and Li Wenyu’s dining room.

Wiping his palms on his clothes, he knocked on the door.

Chu Qingshuang, thinking it was the waiter, asked, “Haven’t all the dishes been served yet?”

Hearing Chu Qingshuang’s voice, Li Shaoliang felt joy, “It’s not about the dishes not being served. It’s about someone not yet arriving.”

Startled, Chu Qingshuang hurried to open the door, and upon seeing the distinguished young man, couldn’t help but smile, “How did you get here?

Li Shaoliang’s eyes were filled with Chu Qingshuang, “I got hungry.

“The dishes have just been served. Join us for the meal,” Chu Qingshuang invited him in.

“Ok.”

Li Wenyu waved Li Shaoliang over, “Brother, come sit here.”

Li Shaoliang took a seat next to Chu Qingshuang, “You’re here too.

Nodding, Li Wenyu smiled, “Yep, Qingshuang sister invited me for lunch.”

“You sure know how to seize an opportunity.”

“Weren’t you with another girl earlier? How come you ended up here?” Li

Wenyu’s straightforwardness added a touch of awkwardness to the atmosphere.

Li Shaoliang glanced at Chu Qingshuang, fearing she might be upset and ignore him, “That was just a friend of my mother’s niece, just a normal friend… we were just having lunch together…”

Li Wenyu hummed in disbelief, “Excuses, excuses…”

Li Shaoliang wished Li Wenyu could just disappear right there. His sister was about to ruin everything. He served Li Wenyu a large piece of meat, “Eat your food and stop talking.”

“You’re just feeling guilty…”

Chu Qingshuang laughed, surprisingly finding herself not upset at all, “Let’s all just eat and not argue.”

Li Shaoliang quickly served Chu Qingshuang some dishes, “Qingshuang, eat

up.”

As for Sun Xuezheng, being abandoned midway by Li Shaoliang spoiled her impression of him. She made it clear she wouldn’t choose him, and thus, their relationship ended right there.

In the Chu Village.

Finally, the room was tidied up, and the maid brought the prepared medicine to Yu Wanwan, “Miss, your medicine is ready.”

Yu Wanwan sat on a chair, staring blankly outside. Hearing the maid, she glanced at the medicine bowl and voiced her worries, “What if it fails again?” “Miss, it won’t fail. Chu Qingzhi’s reputation has already spread to our Wan City. If she were merely boasting, she wouldn’t have amassed such acclaim. The maid didn’t believe in Chu Qingshuang and her consolation carried a hint of guilt.

Yu Wanwan was silent for a moment before taking the medicine in one gulp, “Huh? This medicine isn’t bitter at all?”

“Isn’t it bitter?” The maid dipped her finger into the remaining medicine at the bottom of the bowl to taste, “It really isn’t bitter.” She felt somewhat relieved, “Miss needs to take this medicine for three months, but it’s going to be easier now.”

Yu Wanwan looked forward to it. “Miss Chu’s medicine is so different. I believe it will definitely have an effect.”

The maid nodded. “But Miss, Miss Qingzhi said that we have to exercise for an hour every day. Have you thought about how we should exercise?”

Yu Wanwan shookher head. “Let’s go out and take a look.”

“Ok.”

The master and servant pair changed into relatively simple clothes and went out.

Yu Wanwan was really fat. She was as fat as two or three people. The moment she came out, she attracted everyone’s attention.

The news about her had already spread throughout the village. The villagers felt sympathy for her and did not look down on her. This made Yu Wanwan feel much better. She had already had enough of those gazes.

Seeing this, the maid felt much better. She no longer despised the village’s not- so-good environment.

“Miss, shall we ask Miss Qingzhi for advice?”

Yu Wanwan readily agreed. “Yes, let’s go see her and discuss.

When the two of them arrived at the Chu residence, they bumped into Chu Qingyan, who was about to go out. Yu Wanwan smiled and asked, “Little girl, I’m looking for your fifth sister. Can you help me call her?”

Chu Qingyan nodded. “My Fifth Sister is busy and can’t leave. Come with me.”

“Thank you.”

Chu Qingyan brought the two of them to Tang Jinghong’s kitchen. “Fifth Sister, they’re looking for you.”

Chu Qingzhi turned around and looked at them. “If you have something to say, just say it.” As she spoke, she placed the pig skin glue in the jar…

Yu Wanwan couldn’t help but envy Chu Qingzhi when she saw how cleanly she did things. “Miss, I want to ask you, how should I exercise?”

Chu Qingzhi thought for a while. “In the village, you can help with some farm work…”

Before she could finish speaking, the maid interrupted her. “Miss Qingzhi, my Miss has been pampered from birth. How could she engage in farming work?” Yu Wanwan quickly tugged at the maid. “Don’t interrupt, let others finish. The maid, fearing she might have upset Chu Qingzhi and jeopardized her miss’s chance for help, quickly bowed her head and apologized, “Yes, Miss.” She then apologized to Chu Qingzhi, “I’m sorry, Miss Qingzhi. I was just too worried about my miss.”

Chu Qingzhi understood that she was eager to protect her master. She continued, “You could also try jumping rope, running, or brisk walking…” She listed several viable exercise methods.

When Yu Wanwan heard this, she chose to jump rope. “Miss Qingzhi, thank you. We’ll go back and prepare the rope now.”

Chu Qingzhi said, “Don’t stick to just one exercise method. You can vary it.”

Yu Wanwan nodded. “I understand. Thankyou.”

The master and servant left. When they returned home, they began to prepare.
