World-shaking First Daughter: Powerful Medical Princess Chapter 89 - I Shouldn't Enjoy Them Alone

Chapter 89 I Shouldn’t Enjoy Them Alone

“Miss, please forgive my laziness. Last night, I fed the young master a little bit more before going to bed. But he didn’t fall asleep until he finished hiccups. I found him not over-fed, so I went to sleep.” Fang choked with sobs.

Usually, little Wenmo would have to drink milk at least once every two hours. However, due to her laziness, Fang fed him too much at one time and omitted his meals for the whole night.

Su Muge looked at Meihua. “Did the young master cry in the night?”

During Zhao’s absence, Meihua slept in the outer room of little Wenmo’s room at night, while Fang slept in the inner room.

Meihua shook her head. “No, the young master didn’t cry last night.”

Children would cry whenever they were hungry or wanted to urinate. However, after drinking so much milk before going to bed last night, little Wenmo hadn’t urinated or felt hungry during at least 8 hours.

Su Muge glanced at the other maids. “You haven’t heard either?”

The maids shook their heads one after another.

In the limited s.p.a.ce of Peachblossom Courtyard, any movements in the yard could be heard, not to mention the crying of the baby at night.

Since so many people didn’t hear little Wenmo crying at night, it must be true.

“How many times have you fed the young master before we returned?”

Fang hurriedly replied: “Three times, as usual.”

“Mumu, Mo’er has fallen asleep,” Zhao whispered.

Su Muge walked over and found that the little boy was lying on the bed with his two fists clenched and had fallen asleep.

“The boy may have been tired after crying. Don’t worry, mother.”

Zhao nodded absent-mindedly. How could she not worry about her son who was sick like this?

Su Muge stopped persuading Zhao and said to Fang, “Squeeze a bowl of milk.”

Seeing that Su Muge didn’t intend to punish her, Fang nodded repeatedly. “Yes, yes, I’ll squeeze right away.”

“Fang, you should be clear that the young master is the only male heir of Su Mansion now. If anything happens to him, do you think you can have a good ending?”

Su Muge’s voice was not loud but enough to make Fang shiver. “Yes, yes, I swear that I have no intention to harm the young master, and I dare not to be lazy anymore. The eldest Miss, please forgive me this time.”

Su Muge picked up a date on the table and played it with her fingertips. “This time, I’ll just deduct half a month’s wages. If it happens again, don’t blame me for being cruel!”

“Yes, Miss. Thank you very much for your kindness! Thank you!”

Fang retreated, and after a while, she brought in a bowl of milk.

Su Muge also asked Zhao to squeeze a bowl of milk and bring it back to her room.

“Miss, what will you do with these two bowls of milk?”

Su Muge looked at the two bowls of breast milk on the table and smiled, “You may not know that breast milk has medicinal value.”

Hearing this, Yueru and others were all amazed. “Miss, you mean the milk can be used as medicine?”

“Yeah, if breast milk is applied to burns and scalds, it’s effective for skin-repairing and pain-relieving.”

“So are you going to make medicine from the milk?”

Su Muge raised her eyebrows and didn’t answer.

It was normal for a child to regurgitate milk, but she always felt it a little weird. She couldn’t be too cautious; little Wenmo was too young to afford any risk after all.

So she was to find out if there was any difference between Fang’s and Zhao’s breast milk.

When the sun was setting, Yueru entered in.

“Miss, Cheng Ran is waiting outside the gate now.”

“Ask Xinlan to take him to the side door and wait for me.”

“Yes.”

There was a small wing-room at the back door of Su Mansion, which was scarcely entered.

Su Muge packed up the things on the table, changed her clothes and went to the small wing-room.

Cheng Ran and Xinlan were waiting in the room. Seeing Su Muge coming in, they both stepped forward to salute.

“Miss.”

Su Muge went in and sat down. “No need to be over-courteous. Take a seat.”

Xinlan retreated and guarded outside at the door.

Cheng Ran didn’t sit down, but he seemed to be much more relaxed than last time.

“Miss, I’ve completed the tasks.” Cheng Ran took out a small bag.

“These are their servitude indentures. I’ve had them stamped in the yamen. And these are the seeds you asked me to bring to you last time.”

Su Muge took a look at them and nodded. “Well-done! How is your brother?”

Speaking of his brother, Cheng Ran was a little excited. “Thank you very much, Miss. My brother is much better now. He can even go to the alley and play with other children.”

“Well, it’s good for children to be more active. Stop taking the former prescription. This is a prescription of a medicated diet. Let him keep the prescribed diet according to the recipe for a period of time. He will recover soon.” Su Muge gave him the recipe she had written before.

Cheng Ran didn’t tweak to make state and accepted the recipe with repet.i.tive thanks.

Then Su Muge handed him 10 Liang.

Seeing this, Cheng Ran hurriedly said, “Miss, the money you gave me last time hasn’t run out yet.”

Su Muge didn’t take it back. “Those children have to be settled for a long time. You temporarily rent a clean yard for them to live and provide them with life necessities, which requires a lot of money. After that, find a teacher, who preferably knows a little pharmacy, to teach them literacy.”

Upon hearing this, Cheng Ran looked up at her in amazement. “Miss, you want to teach them literacy?!”

“Yeah, I don’t want them to do coolie when they grow up.”

“Then, my younger brother …”

“Of course it’s best if he wants to study with them.”

“Thank you, Miss. Thank you very much.” Cheng Ran couldn’t conceal his joy on his face.

“You should report to me about their studies every half a month, so that I can make arrangements.”

“Yes, yes.”

After Cheng Ran left, Su Muge returned to Peachblossom Courtyard.

Peachblossom Courtyard was not large, with only one path paved with bluestones. And the rest area was covered with mud.

“Yueru, get me a small shovel.”

Puzzled as she was, Yueru did as she was told. “Miss, what do you want a shovel for?”

Su Muge put on her old clothes and rolled up her sleeves. “For use.”

She went into the mud and squatted down to dig a hole.

Seeing this, Yueru and others were all scared. “Miss, what are you doing? Let us do it!”

Su Muge replied without looking up. “No, I’ll do it yourself. You can’t do this job.”

These seeds were bought by Cheng Ran with a lot of money. If they were improperly planted, she would lose the large sum of money. So considering that she was still short of money now, she had to plant them by herself!

While Su Muge kept digging and planting, it was gradually dark.

Su Muge put the shovel away and returned to her room with the remaining seeds.

Yueru hurriedly asked Xinlan to bring hot water in and scrub her.

“By the way, where are the two bear paws given by the King of Jin?” It was still warm now and the unprocessed bear paws could easily go bad, so they should be cooked and eaten as soon as possible.

“I’ve reserved them. Madam asked to send one to My Lord.”

To send such a good thing to her father?

Su Muge was a little unwilling.

“Well then, just send him a quarter of one paw!”

With two bear paws, they just sent him a quarter…

Yueru felt the eldest Miss’s doing so … quite well!

Su Muge intended to cook by herself — to roast one bear paw and to cook soup with the other.

She hadn’t cooked for a long time, so she wondered if she could make them delicious.

There was a small kitchen at the back of Peachblossom Courtyard, which was hardly ever used. But fortunately, the kitchenware was quite complete.

After a while, an inviting aroma came from the small kitchen.

“Wow, Miss, it smells so good. I’m almost drooling over it.”

Su Muge sprinkled some pepper on the roasted bear paw; in an instant, the smell became even stronger.

“Haha, it’s cooked by me after all.”

Su Muge opened the boiling pot; the bear paw soup was almost done.

“Wow, it’s so nourishing.”

Su Muge put some bear paw meat and soup into a small pot and asked Xinche to send it to Su Lun.

Then she took out another pot and filled it with half a bear paw and plenty of soup.

“Miss, is this for Madam?”

For An?

Su Muge chuckled; she wasn’t that kind-hearted.

After that, she wrapped up half a roasted bear paw and called Yueru.

“Send it to Jin Mansion now.”

Yueru was shocked. “Miss, you mean to send it to the King of Jin?”

Su Muge felt it quite reasonable and nodded. “Yeah, this pair of bear paws were given by the King of Jin, so I shouldn’t enjoy it alone.”

In doing so, she wanted to express her grat.i.tude to Xia Houmo.

Jin Mansion was on the central street of the capital, which was quite far away from Su mansion in the remote area. She was afraid that the dishes would have been cold after arrival.

“Yes, I’ll find a way to deliver it immediately.”

“Good girl, I’ll reserve some bear paw soup for you.”

On hearing it, Yueru became energetic immediately. “Miss, rest a.s.sured, I’ll deliver it as soon as possible.”

Su Muge took a sip of the soup to taste it.

Wow!

It was so delicious!

Yueru stuffed a hundred copper coins to the coachman of Su Mansion and emphasized the eldest Miss’s instruction. Then the coachman set off for Jin Mansion by carriage.

Outside the Jin Mansion, Xia Houmo returned on his horse. After dismounting, he threw the horsewhip to Zuoqiu.

“Your Royal Highness.”

Xia Houmo nodded and was to enter the gate of the mansion.

“Your Royal Highness, the carriage has been parking there till now.” Zuowei pointed at the parking carriage in the darkness.

Xia Houmo slightly glanced at the carriage before fixing his black eyes on it.

On the carriage, Yueru who was holding the pot felt chilly and afraid; she dared not to move at the sight of the gate of Jin Mansion!

“Go to check it out.”

“Yes.”

Zuoqiu walked over; after a while, he brought over Yueru who was trembling with a pot and a hamper.

“Your Royal Highness, she said she was the major maid of the eldest Miss Su and she came to send you something.”

Yueru nodded stiffly and saluted Xia Houmo. “Your Royal Highness, pay my respects to you. The elder Miss cooked the pair of bear paws in person tonight and asked me to send some to you. She said they were sent by you and she shouldn’t enjoy them alone.”

Xia Houmo slightly rolled his eyes. “Miss Su asked you to send it?”

“Yes.”
