FID – Chapter 214

But the young lady’s claim didn’t sound arrogant at all.

Because the ointment he stole from her, he has not researched exactly what the formula was to this day. Seeing her take out the medicine, he suddenly realized that it must be this ingredient that was missing, so the efficacy was wrong.

He knew she had kept her hand in!

Xue Qinglian snatched the medicine and began to boil with enthusiasm. “Let’s go. I will teach you how to refine medicine now!” After teaching her, he would go and test the drug immediately!

In the courtyard, the Lius have gotten up one after another, washing up under the porch and in front of the kitchen and preparing for breakfast.

Liu Yusheng followed Xue Qinglian through the middle and greeted everyone good morning. However, she left out someone who was standing in the middle of the courtyard and looking at her.

Qian Wanjin’s eyes were sharp. For the first time, Nannan didn’t even spare Feng Qingbai a glance!

He gloated in an instant! “Yo, yo! Someone made our Nannan angry! How disappointing!”

He was pleased as a punch that his feet inexplicably slipped, and he plunged forward.

From this posture, he was about to eat dog shit! That abnormally powerful woman was still watching from the sidelines!

Qian Wanjin cursed in his heart.

When his face was about to kiss the ground, his belt was pulled back and the cursing man fell into the woman’s arms.

“Be careful.”

Qian Wanjin puffed and blew, and the words “mind your own business” simply couldn’t pass his mouth. She saved him from disgrace, so it was quite despicable to return her kindness with ingratitude.

Feng Mohan rolled his eyes at the door of the kitchen. “You need a woman to save you every time. Shame on you.”

“How is it shameful?! Is the hero not allowed to save the beauty?” A flush rose on Qian Wanjin’s cheeks.

“So, you’re the beauty who was saved?”

“Aren’t I? I was born beautiful! I make a living through my face!”

“You’re quite beautiful.” Shi Xianrou smiled lightly.

“For sure. My face is the signboard of the Qian family outside. Not only is it beautiful but also worth money! Humph!” Qian Wanjin tossed his head as proud as a small rooster. Even the handful of rebellious hair sticking out of his forehead seemed as proud as a peacock.

“I like it very much.” The smile that crept up in the woman’s hoarse voice grew stronger.

“…” Qian Wanjin’s stupid hair on his forehead dropped instantly. He turned and ran. He couldn’t care less about his favorite breakfast, almost staggering backwards in his fleeing to the threshold. 

T-This damn woman! She’s molesting people so early in the morning!

Looking at Shi Xianrou, Feng Mohan was entirely convinced.

He somewhat agreed with Qian Wanjin’s remark. Was she a woman? Men weren’t as bold as she was. What was more, she was poker-faced bold!

Hey, even someone loved Qian Wanjin. So, in comparison, his uncle was pitiful. Aunt Liu was angry and didn’t even look at him.

He must find a way to help his Imperial Uncle to coax Aunt Liu back.

The grandpa and grandma in the kitchen, one stoking the fire and the other stewing broth, listened to the outside movement with their ears perked up and smiled from time to time. Feng Mohan rolled his eyes up and walked in with his shoulders slumped. “Grandma, Grandpa.”

“Xiao Feng, what’s wrong? Are you unhappy that you lost a fight with Xiao Jinzi?”

“…” Grandma Liu was also used to finishing off a wounded combatant. The boy gritted his teeth and continued his pretense. “No, I feel sorry for my uncle. He made Aunt Liu angry yesterday, so Aunt Liu is ignoring him until now.”

The two elderlies exchanged a glance and suddenly didn’t know how to comfort their Nannan…

“Grandma, Grandpa, you don’t know, my uncle was so sad that he didn’t sleep all night last night. Poor thing. We’ll be returning to the capital in two days. If Aunt Liu never forgives my uncle, he will definitely be sad for a long time.”

“You’re leaving in two days? So soon!”

“Yes, Grandma. After leaving, I may not have time to come back.” Feng Mohan was initially pretending, but when it came down to this, his real emotions surfaced, and his eyes reddened. 

“Why don’t you have time to come back? What do you have to keep busy at a young age?” Grandpa Liu scolded with a smile. “I will talk to your uncle later. You can come over whenever you want. If your uncle doesn’t have time to send you, I’ll come and pick you up!”

“Thank you, Grandpa!” Knowing that there would be no such scenario, Feng Mohan’s heart still warmed up.

Grandma Liu put down the pot and spoon in her hand, peeked outside without a trace, and pretended ignorance. “Xiao Feng, I never asked, but who else is in your family in the capital? At this age, if your uncle is not married, he should be engaged, right?”

Feng Mohan immediately turned away when he heard his question, his eyes flashing with delight. No, no, there are only two people at home in the capital, me and my uncle. There is not even a female family! But, Grandma, let me whisper to you. A lot of people want to marry my uncle! However, Uncle never liked a single one nor spare them a glance. I know why he’s like this!”

“Why?”

“My uncle has a sweetheart! He used to say that he didn’t want anyone except the one he liked! Look, which man does not have three wives and four concubines in the capital? Unlike my uncle, who has kept his promise for so many years, and is regarded as a loner now! There are not many infatuated people like my uncle in the whole world!”

The two elderlies fell silent for a moment, then the grandpa raised his hand and smacked Feng Mohan’s ass. “You brat. How old are you? What infatuation do you know?! If I get to know that you’re learning these nonsensical things, I’ll beat you!”

Feng Mohan covered his buttocks and smiled without hiding. “Grandpa, I did not learn that nonsense. I just heard it in the play, so I said it in passing. Don’t be angry. I definitely will not learn bad things!”

“Just bear that in mind. It’s okay to joke around, but your heart must be upright at all times!”

“I’ll remember it, Grandpa!”

Then Grandpa was teaching the grandson, so Grandma’s eyes were all smiles. “Okay, have breakfast first. Xiao Feng, go and call your uncle and Aunt Liu here.”

“Eh, I’ll go right away!” See, wasn’t he helping his uncle create an opportunity?

After the kid ran out, Grandma Liu put her smile away and sighed softly.

“They’ll have to leave in two days. I don’t even feel good about it, let alone Nannan. No wonder she’s angry. Old man, what do you think?”

The old man took out firewood from the earthen stove and buried it in the ashes to extinguish the fire. “What can we do? We can’t ask Axiu to stay, and we can’t let Nannan not be upset. If they have set their minds on each other, there’s no hard nut to crack. We are old, so don’t get involved when we shouldn’t. We will step in when we are really needed.”

That was the only way forward, so Grandma Liu nodded. “I’ll listen to you.”

“Hey! Don’t you always let me listen to you? There’s no other way out this time, but you look a bit like a young wife!”

“What are you talking about?” Raising the ladle towards the old man, the wife could not hold back her laughter.

This wily old man.

In this life, she did not marry the wrong person.

When he said he would come back from work to help her with the household chores, he really did what he said he would do. He has been doing so for twelve years now.

When she recalled the old man’s clumsiness in doing housework at the beginning, the tips of her smile curled higher.

In a trance, she actually resembled a teenage girl.
