Chapter 85 - Chrysanthemum Tea (1/2)

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Old Master Cheng’s body was not in good condition, to begin with. He had caught a cold. As soon as the wind blew, he began to cough non-stop. The more he coughed, the more severe it became. His entire body was trembling.

Cheng Ling walked to the edge of the field and picked up a teacup and washed it. Then, she poured a cup of tea and handed it to Old Master Cheng.

“Drink some. It’s chrysanthemum tea made from my chrysanthemum.”

“Is your cup clean?”

“Are you going to drink it or not?” Cheng Ling’s patience was running out.

Old Master Cheng coughed so hard that his throat was sore. He needed a cup of tea to moisten his throat.

He could only take the cup from Cheng Ling’s hand and drink the tea in one gulp.

The temperature of the water was just right. It was neither hot nor cold.

After drinking it, Old Master Cheng felt that the itchiness in his throat had disappeared. He was very comfortable now.

He cleared his throat and felt that his condition was much better for some reason.

“We know that you don’t have money, and of course, we won’t ask you to compensate us. I heard that you went to Old Master Ding’s house yesterday?”

“I did go, so what?”

Cheng Ling was not surprised that this matter had reached Old Master Cheng’s ears so quickly. After all, this circle in the capital was actually like a small district, and any news would soon spread.

Old Master Cheng cleared his throat.

“It’s nothing. We plan to apologize to Old Master Ding for the fight you had with his grandson last time. Next Monday is my birthday. You know that, right? You can invite Old Master Ding over then.”

Cheng Ling frowned. Sure enough, his visit was with bad intention.

“You can’t invite him yourself?”

“What do you mean?! It was you who caused the trouble, and we still have to clean up the mess for you.”

Cheng Ling smiled.

“Are you hoping that Old Master Ding will come to your birthday celebration to give you face? But you won’t be able to invite him over if you invite him yourself. So, you let me invite him, right?”

Cheng Ling hit the nail on the head. Elder Cheng was a little embarrassed and desperately denied it.

“How is that possible? I’ve been friends with Old Master Ding for many years. If I invite him, he will definitely come. This is a chance for you to make up with Old Master Ding.”

Certainly, Cheng Ling could tell whether Old Master Cheng was telling the truth or not.

She didn’t want to waste any more time with Old Master Cheng.
