Chapter 503: Chapter 503: Nan Tianzong’s Generosity
“Third Aunt, please rest assured, Cheng’er is not that kind of person!”
Di Cheng said with a determined face.
“Good! Just remember what you said to Third Aunt today. Third Aunt treats you like her own child, that’s why she brought you out. You should understand the difference between how she treats you and Ah-Bao.”
Di Cheng said solemnly: “Cheng’er understands!”
As they were talking, the carriage had already stopped at the courtyard gate.
“Hmm! You go and open the shop now, but remember not to push yourself too hard and get tired, okay?”
Liu Sisi got off the carriage and turned back to Di Cheng, instructing him: “In a few days, I’ll find another reliable helper to share some of your burdens, so you won’t be so tired and can make some time to prepare for your wedding.”
Di Cheng’s face turned red, and he laughed awkwardly, rubbing the back of his head, looking just like Di Yelei: “It’s all up to Third Aunt.”
“Alright, go on!”
Liu Sisi gave a few more instructions before entering the courtyard.
“Madam.” Ms. Gao greeted her.
Ms. Gao’s stomach had gradually grown bigger, making it inconvenient for her to move, so Liu Sisi didn’t bring her along when going out recently.
“Has Dad gone to the clinic again?”
Liu Sisi casually took off her long flag and handed it to Ms. Gao, then stepped inside.
Ms. Gao hurriedly took it: “Yes, it’s true. Yesterday, Old Master was muttering that Dr. He would give him acupuncture today, which would complete the first course of treatment. So, as soon as you left the house, Old Master took Young Miss and Young Master over to the clinic. Xue Yi and Xue Lan also went with them.”
“Well, that’s good.”
Liu Sisi frowned, taking out some silver coins from her arms: “You go and slaughter a chicken, then go to the market to buy some bone marrow, and cook them together with some warming, tonifying medicinal materials. It’ll be ready for Old Master when he returns.”
“Yes, Madam.”
Ms. Gao took the silver coins: “But… we only have one rooster and three hens left. The rest of the chickens have already been killed.” If they kill another, they’ll be running out of even breeding stock.
Liu Sisi thought about it and couldn’t help but suggest: “Well, then just slaughter another hen. When the hen hatches a clutch, let it incubate the stored eggs. Since it’s springtime, the baby chicks that hatch will be well-fed.”
“That’s a good idea, but if we do that, we won’t be able to make steamed egg and spring rolls anymore. Those are Old Master’s and Young Miss’s favorite dishes.”
“No matter, when you buy the bone marrow later, just remember to buy a few dozen eggs as well.”
After casually giving orders, Liu Sisi returned to her room and had a simple meal.
After going out for a while, she felt extremely tired at the moment! After eating, she went back to her room for a nap but couldn’t fall asleep. She couldn’t help but take out the round object and examine it closely, but she couldn’t make heads or tails of it.
Seeing that the sky was getting darker, she cleaned herself up and went out. Just as she saw Liu Zhi’er holding a pomegranate flower embroidery in her hands, her eyes were unfocused, seemingly lost in thought.
It took Liu Sisi calling her name three times before Liu Zhi’er came back to her senses. She hurriedly put down the work in her hands and stood up.
“Sisi, you’re awake. Dinner is ready, do you want to eat now?”
“Has Ye Lei returned?”
“I haven’t seen my brother-in-law yet.” Liu Zhi’er shook her head.
Liu Sisi walked a few steps, casually picked up the embroidery and looked at it for quite a while: “Second Sister, your craftsmanship has really gotten better and better.”
“What are you talking about? You didn’t think much of my embroidery skills back then.”
“As you said, that’s all in the past.”
“Well…” Liu Zhi’er began to laugh as they spoke.
