Su Xiaolu and the divine doctor had saved their family. The Su family should be honored guests and should be treated well.
Butler Sun agreed respectfully.
Sun Bocheng said again, “Have the servants wait outside the courtyard and serve them well. The doctor loves wine. Send two jars of the precious Bamboo Brew in the residence to him. Then check if the little doctor has any preferences.”
Butler Sun nodded in agreement. Seeing that there were no other instructions, he retreated.
After Butler Sun left, Sun Bocheng said to Sun Ziqian, “Ziqian, Dad is really happy today.”
Sun Ziqian smiled and nodded. “Father, I’m happy too.”
“As for the school, you have to settle it as soon as possible and strive to get the two brothers of the Su family into school in the next few days. Do you understand?”
Sun Bocheng remembered Su Xiaolu’s request and instructed again.
Sun Ziqian smiled and nodded. “I’ll remember that.”
Sun Ziqian knew that his father was really concerned about this, so he had instructed him many times. Sun Ziqian would naturally handle it well. Every time he listened to Sun Bocheng, he would humbly agree.
Sun Bocheng looked at Sun Ziqian and felt very gratified. He smiled and said, “There’s nothing else. Go accompany your wife.”
Sun Ziqian nodded and retreated.
Sun Bocheng heaved a sigh of relief and went to the ancestral hall. Of course, he had to burn incense to inform his ancestors of this good news.
Perhaps after his grandson recovered, he would get married and have many children in the future. At that time, all of them would be healthy and could practice martial arts to protect the country again. Every time he saw the glory of his ancestors and the ancestral teachings, he would feel regretful.
That horse-riding, whip-raising, and forthright life was really a lifelong yearning.
Which man wouldn’t want to ride a horse and travel on it at will?
Sun Ziqian returned to the courtyard. Madam Lian stood up to welcome him back.
Sun Ziqian smiled at her and said, “What are you doing?”
Madam Lian smiled and said, “The doctor sent over a few prescriptions not long ago. We have some medicinal herbs in our residence. I’m taking inventory.”
As she spoke, Madam Lian showed the prescription to Sun Ziqian. Other than some slightly expensive herbs, the other herbs were very common. Many of them were in the storeroom of the residence.
Sun Ziqian took a look and said, “Give them whatever they want. As long as they can cure Qian and Shan, anything is fine.”
Madam Lian nodded. “Yes, the servants have been paying attention. If they need anything, we’ll send it over in time.”
Sun Ziqian gently put his arm around Madam Lian’s shoulder and said gently, “My dear, you’ve worked hard.”
Ever since he found out that his body carried poison yesterday, he felt guilty that Madam Lian did not manage to protect those two pairs of children.
When Madam Lian married him, she was still in good health. It was only after she miscarried twice and used strong medicine to protect her children that she became unwell.
“I don’t find it hard.”
Madam Lian leaned against Sun Ziqian. She didn’t think it was hard because Sun Ziqian was devoted to her. They had been married for more than ten years, but their relationship was still so good. With Sun Ziqian’s sincerity, she could survive any hardships.
“In two years, if your body recovers, let’s have another child.”
Madam Lian said softly, and she could not help blushing.
Sun Ziqian shook his head. “No, as long as you’re healthy, and Shan and Qian are healthy, it’s enough.”
After he and Madam Lian got married, Madam Lian was pregnant three times. Moreover, she was pregnant with twins each time. Madam Lian’s body was very weak. He wanted more children and more blessings, but he did not want Madam Lian to be in danger again.
“If you like children, let Qian and Shan have more when they grow up.”
It was better to leave this heavy responsibility to the next generation.
Sun Ziqian held her and asked softly, “What do you think, dear?”
Surrounded by his warm embrace and feeling his warm chest, Madam Lian could not help but blush. She replied in a low voice, “Yes, I’ll listen to my husband.”
Feeling his wife shy, Sun Ziqian chuckled.
They held each other in silence. They hadn’t felt this relaxed in a long time.

Old Wu and Su Xiaolu were brewing medicine and making pills in the courtyard.
Old Wu took a wine gourd and sipped from it from time to time. He closed his eyes slightly and enjoyed it.
Then, he instructed Su Xiaolu to make pills.
Su Xiaolu accepted her fate and worked.
They gave Sun Baoshan and Sun Baoqian health pills. One pill was like a peanut. Xiaolu rubbed them from afternoon to night until her hands were sore.
Old Wu was also half drunk for the entire afternoon.
Seeing Su Xiaolu rubbing her hands, Old Wu seemed to remember that his little disciple was still very young. He waved at Su Xiaolu. “Girl, come here. Master will massage you.”
Su Xiaolu walked over. Old Wu picked up Su Xiaolu’s hand, pushed her sleeve up, and rubbed it with some wine.
Su Xiaolu :”…”
Old Wu said as he rubbed, “Girl, wine is good stuff. Master will rub it for you and it won’t hurt anymore. After a while, you have to train your body. Otherwise, you won’t have the strength to walk in the future.”
“Master’s hands are very expensive. Not everyone has this treatment. Only Master’s master can have this treatment. You have to remember the few acupuncture points that Master just pressed. You have to massage Master another day, understand?”
As he spoke, Old Wu remembered that he was now a master. It was time for him to enjoy such good treatment.
But Su Xiaolu was still young and needed some guidance.
However, she was smart and could learn quickly. If he taught her, he would have a chance to enjoy the care of his disciple in the future.
Su Xiaolu nodded. “Okay.”
This was the first time she had seen some acupuncture point massage therapy. Old Wu had taught her a lot.
As his disciple, she naturally had to take good care of her master. This was the etiquette and rules of the sect.
There were very few disciples in the Minggu Medical Valley, so she should be more filial to Master.
After Old Wu massaged her, Su Xiaolu’s hand no longer hurt.
Seeing that it was getting dark, Old Wu shouted out of the courtyard, “Bring the food.”
The food was exquisite and relatively mild. It was delicious, but for those who liked spicy food, it wasn’t good enough.
Old Wu couldn’t help but say, “When we go back the day after tomorrow, we have to bring some chili sauce from your house here to eat.”
Su Xiaolu nodded in agreement. “I think so too.”
After dinner, Su Xiaolu and Old Wu went to give the Sun family acupuncture treatment as usual.
Su Xiaolu was worried that Old Wu had drunk alcohol.
Old Wu blew at his beard angrily. “Stupid girl, I can drink a thousand cups without getting drunk!”
How could this little bit of wine make him drunk?
That brat underestimated him. Old Wu waved his hand and left quickly.
Su Xiaolu smiled and also turned to Sun Baoshan and Sun Baoqian’s courtyard.
Madam Lian had been waiting inside for a long time.
Seeing Su Xiaolu, Madam Lian smiled and said gently, “Xiaolu is here.”
Su Xiaolu smiled and nodded. She took out two boxes from the small bag and said, “Auntie, these are medicine for Sister Baoqian and Brother Baoshan. Just take one before sleeping.”
