The wicked sister-in-law is in charge; meals include fish and shrimp.

Chapter 109 Whether or not we meet is no longer important

"In that case, I'll have to put in a lot more effort to take care of the grandmother and grandson in the backyard."

Jun Qianzi was quite surprised to learn that the two were just servants bought by Wen Luozhi.

If it were anyone else, an old man would simply pass away; there would be no need to spend so much money and go to such great lengths.

Mo Li was sitting upright on the edge of the bed, stroking a jade pendant in her hand.

"Xiao Li, you must hide this well and make sure no one else takes it."

Mo Zhengfu looked much better and was leaning against the bed. He reached out and touched Mo Li's head, his eyes full of tenderness.

This child must be missing his parents; he's been looking at this jade pendant for a long time today.

If he dies, this jade pendant will be the only thing that can prove his identity.

Mo Li nodded, carefully wrapped the jade pendant, and put it into her bosom.

He didn't understand why his father and mother had changed so much after he had only gone out for a short while, and who was the little child who looked exactly like him beside them?

Is he his older or younger brother? But his father and mother only had him as their one child.

Why did the King and Queen treat him like a stranger, while showing great affection to the child who suddenly appeared?

If his grandfather hadn't helped him escape, he would have been killed by that bad kid.

"Grandpa, once you're better, I'll ask Miss to take you back with me," Mo Li said earnestly and firmly, her little head nestled in his hand.

He only has his grandfather left now, and he doesn't dare to be separated from him; they want to stay together forever.

As the grandfather and grandson were talking, Yunhua pushed open the door and entered, carrying two bowls.

"Grandpa, this is your medicine."

He placed a bowl of dark, medicinal soup on the table, then handed another bowl to Mo Li, saying, "This is red bean and taro ball iced tofu pudding that my master brought back for me."

"It's so delicious! You have to try it!" He shoved the spoon into Mo Li's hand and stared at him.

Mo Li glanced at her grandfather, while Mo Zhengfu smiled kindly at Yun Hua and said, "Thank you, young doctor."

Yunhua waved her hand in a flustered manner, "I've only been learning from my master for a short time, I'm not worthy of the title of doctor."

"Try it, this is my favorite food," he quickly changed the subject, pushing the bowl towards Mo Li.

"Thank you"

Mo Li picked up the bowl and habitually let Mo Zhengfu take the first bite, only putting it into his own mouth after he finished eating.

The icy-cold tofu pudding slid down her throat as soon as it entered her mouth, and Mo Li frowned as she scooped up another spoonful and put it in her mouth.

Now he tasted the tofu pudding; it was sweet and had a faint milky aroma.

He then tasted the colorful toppings on top, his little mouth moving as he ate with a satisfied expression.

After tasting everything in it, he stopped eating, turned the spoon around, and brought it to Mo Zhengfu's lips again, saying, "Grandpa, here, have some."

He'd never had such delicious sweet soup before, even when he was at home. Since Grandpa was sick, he wanted to give him all the good food.

"Young man, your grandfather still needs to take medicine and can't eat cold or raw foods."

Yunhua tried to stop them, but he held back when he saw the deep affection between the grandfather and grandson.

That bowl of medicine should be ready to drink now. He picked up the medicine and replaced the sugar water in his hand, saying, "Drink your medicine and get some rest. I'll come back to collect the bowls later."

After Yunhua finished speaking, she left, but then turned back at the door, rummaged through her sleeve, and took out a few fruit candies, stuffing them into Mo Li's hand. "These candies are delicious, here you go."

Mo Li held the candies in her hands, staring blankly at him, then smiled and said, "Thank you. I'll come find you to play when you're done with your work."

Yunhua revealed two cute little tiger teeth. When he wasn't seeing any patients, he would read medical books and identify herbs. He was also quite bored during his rest time.

Now that's great, someone's here to play with!

"Little medicine boy, come here quickly!" Gu Yunqi waved to him with a piece of peach in his mouth.

Yunhua ran over and shoved all the snacks he'd bought for him onto the table. "These are all for you. I'll also need you to brew me a few more days' worth of herbal medicine."

Yunhua glanced at him somewhat embarrassedly and then nodded emphatically.

My master's friend is a bit ugly, but he's a really nice person. These are all foods he likes to eat.

That evening, Uncle Mu appeared in the dark room as promised. Jun Qianzi hurriedly asked him, "How did it go? Did you deliver the goods to the old Duke?"

Uncle Mu nodded and remained silent for a while before speaking, "Doctor Jun can rest assured, but when will you return to the palace with me?" He stared intently at Jun Qianzi, waiting for his answer, while Gu Yunqi also looked at him.

"Uncle Mu, now that General Helian is missing and the old Duke's family has been unjustly exiled, you know how much they mean to me now..."

Uncle Mu raised his hand to interrupt him, "Empress Dowager Xiao also means the same thing. I hope Doctor Jun will be careful and summon me if needed." After saying that, he disappeared into the dark room before Jun Qianzi could say anything, leaving only a deep sigh.

"Qianqian..." Gu Yunqi hesitated, but Jun Qianzi smiled at him and said, "It's alright, we'll meet when the time is right. It's just not the right time yet."

His smile was tinged with bitterness. Gu Yunqi felt a pang of unease seeing this, and hooked his arm around his neck as they walked outside. "Come on! Let's go up to the roof and have a drink!"

"Forget it, Young Master Gu, your injury hasn't healed yet, don't waste all my good medicine!" Jun Qianzi slapped his hand away and said with a pained expression.

This time, he actually took out his most treasured healing medicine, which he had been reluctant to use all along; otherwise, this guy would probably still be lying in bed writhing in pain right now.

"What does it matter? Don't you still have some medicinal wine? I'll drink that!"

"No way! That medicinal wine is made with strong liquor."

"Oh, I said I can drink, and I mean I can!"

……

Inside Renshou Palace, Empress Dowager Xiao smiled for the first time in days upon receiving the news brought back by Uncle Mu.

"It's good that it's delivered; that will make him happy."

Thinking of her poor, unfortunate grandson, tears welled up in her cloudy old eyes again.

She had come to a decision: she had to do as much as possible for her children while she was still alive, as a way of atoning for the sins of that unfilial descendant.

Whether they meet or not is no longer important. Qingyuan definitely cherishes his grandmother in his heart. As long as he lives well, this old woman will be satisfied.

"This servant heard that Consort Qin injured the young prince today and was slapped twice by the Empress."

"From now on, I'll have to kneel for three hours every day."

Seeing that she was in a good mood, Ah Le told her about what had happened in the palace that day.

Empress Dowager Xiao's previously kind face instantly changed. "I have no respect for a single person from the Right Prime Minister's residence."

First, there was Qin Qiao. Everyone could see his wolfish ambitions, yet Jun Shuyan still trusted him completely.

Then there's that despicable Qin Wanyue. Aside from her seductive poses and attempts to please men, I really can't see anything special about her!
