Waking up feeling warm and refreshed, Qin Liangwan's spirits improved a lot. After a bowl of hot porridge, her complexion finally looked less pale. Lu Ruojiang brought the brewed medicine and saw Qin Liangwan grimace, knowing she didn't want to drink it. Lu Ruojiang coaxed, "We rushed out this time and didn't bring those pills. Drink the medicine first, and I'll have someone bring the pills tomorrow."
Qin Liangwan disliked the bitter medicine, but she had suffered a lot from illness under the Zhu's persuasion. After knowing about her aversion, Lu Ruojiang found some doctors and collectively came up with a way to concentrate the bitter medicine into small pills to numb the tongue of the person taking it.
She has been forced by the Zhu and has suffered enough. Lu Ruojiang wants to make her feel more comfortable in any way she can. Qin Liangwan looked even more bitter after hearing this, but at least she didn't resist the dark medicine as much. She took a deep breath and then gulped it down. Although she didn't like taking medicine, she knew her health was important, but luckily she wouldn't have to suffer this tomorrow.
"Candied fruits." Seeing Qin Liangwan's bitter expression, Lu Ruojiang hurriedly handed over the dried fruits at hand. Qin Liangwan felt revived only after eating a few pieces. "Aren't you going back? Is it okay?" Qin Liangwan looked at Lu Ruojiang in confusion.
"Since I've come to the countryside to find you, I naturally plan to stay for a few more days. I've already made arrangements, so don't worry." Lu Ruojiang saw that she was still in good spirits, so she didn't leave. "What would you like to eat tomorrow?"
Qin Liangwan's eyes lit up, "I want to eat meat!"
"In that case, I'll have Cong Xi make some small wontons for you to eat. You're still taking medicine, so it's not suitable for you to eat heavy food. Once you're better, I'll have someone prepare a table full of dishes just for you to enjoy."
"Okay then." Qin Liangwan couldn't help but salivate at the thought of Cong Xi's cooking. Although she knew Lu Ruojiang wouldn't agree, Qin Liangwan couldn't help but ask, "Can't we eat now?"
Lu Ruojiang tapped her on the nose, "You little glutton, you just had a bowl of porridge, and you still have room in your stomach? Besides, it's late, what if you get indigestion from eating too much?"
"Okay, okay, I know. You're starting to sound more and more like a housekeeper." Qin Liangwan muttered under her breath.
"I became a housekeeper because I'm worried about who? Heartless little one."
"Hehe, Ruojiang is the best!" Qin Liangwan hugged Lu Ruojiang and acted coquettishly.
What else could Lu Ruojiang do but indulge him.
"By the way, where did you find Cong Dong, Cong Nan, and Cong Xi? They are all very capable."
"It's not that they are capable, it's that I have taught them a lot of things. When you learn a lot, you naturally appear capable."
"Cong Dong is my personal attendant, so he knows a lot of what I know. Cong Nan has been learning from the mansion's steward for many years, and Cong Xi has been studying with various master chefs in the capital, which is why they have become my right-hand men."
"Where is Cong Bei?" Qin Liangwan asked, "Who did he learn such great martial arts from?"
"His father, his father used to be a guard by my father's side, and they fought together on many battlefields. Cong Bei may have had battlefield experience when he was young," Lu Ruojiang explained.
Qin Liangwan leaned against Lu Ruojiang and said enviously, "The people around you are all so powerful."
Lu Ruojiang stroked her long hair and said, "I originally wanted to arrange some people to protect you and facilitate our communication, but the Zhu is in charge... and your Qin Mansion hasn't taken in new people for a long time."
Qin Liangwan: "That's true. My stepmother is greedy and superstitious, the Zhu is short-sighted and foolish. They are harsh to me, but very tolerant of others."
"We never kill indiscriminately, so there's naturally no need to take in new people."
