âSecond Sister-in-law, let me make the herbal tea. Do you still need this winter melon skin?â Ye Muyu walked to the chopping board and asked gently.
When Madam Zhang heard her words, she instantly remembered. âThird Sister-in-law, I remember that you know how to make winter melon tea, right? Then Iâll have to trouble you with this herbal tea.â
âSecond Sister-in-law, youâre the best at controlling the fire. Iâll have to trouble you to start the fire.â
âIâll cook. Iâll cook it early. The city gates will probably be locked earlier at night,â Madam Zhang arranged their work.
When Madam Wang saw this, she heaved a sigh of relief. When it came to making tea, she would usually make the most common bitter tea leaves at home. She would just grab a hand and put it into the water. There was no need to be so particular.
However, it was obvious that her mother had specially mentioned herbal tea just now, and she really did not know how to do it.
Madam Wang went straight to the fire.
Ye Muyu took over the task of making herbal tea. Winter melon tea also had the effect of cooling their body, but the taste was slightly different.
She did not need a pot either. She could just use the small stove that Chu Heng used to brew the calming tea for the child to brew the winter melon tea.
The kitchen was busy.
The county outside was also very lively. Although there was a kidnapping incident, the county magistrate specially sent bailiffs to maintain order, so there was no big problem.
Lu Chuan had just gone to investigate the kidnapper. He only spoke to Chu Heng for a while before he was sent to investigate the Wang family.
Ye Muyu would ask about the kidnapper when she got home at night.
Soon, the food was ready.
When Chu Lin heard that the county was starting to make Soft Fragrant Cakes, he went to line up.
Over here, Ye Muyu helped to bring the dishes to the table.
Liu Cheng looked at the table full of good dishes and felt a little ashamed.
âSister, Brother-in-law, itâs such a pity to serve such good dishes to usâ¦â
âWhat pity?â Madam Liu called for Liu Cheng, Madam Luo, Liu Jiao, and the rest to sit down.
âYouâre from my maternal family. How can I not invite you to a meal since youâre here?â she scolded with a smile.
âItâs fine as long as you donât mind the dishes.â
âSister, these are such good dishes. If I reject them, Iâll be blind.â Liu Cheng was also very happy.
After everyone was seated, they were discussing whether they should wait for Chu Lin to come back and have dinner together.
However, Lu Chuan came back first.
âMaster.â Lu Chuan stood at the door and did not enter.
When Liu Cheng saw that it was Lu Chuan, he was a little excited. He had always been thinking about the Wang family. After all, he had also received Uncle Wangâs kindness back then.
However, the whole family was having dinner, so it did not seem appropriate to talk about this.
Liu Cheng was a little hesitant.
Madam Liu saw his reaction and knew what he was thinking. She looked up at Chu Heng and said, âOld Third, let Lu Chuan come in and talk about the Wang family. Itâs summer, so the dishes wonât get cold so quickly Moreover, your uncle insisted on waiting for your brother.â
âThen letâs hear about the Wang family. We shouldnât just wait.â
Liu Cheng knew that his sister had seen through his anxiety and was helping him. For a moment, he was even more grateful.
Seeing that no one else objected, Chu Heng waved at Lu Chuan.
When Lu Chuan saw this, he walked in from the door and stood behind him. He told him everything he had found out.
âMaster, Iâve asked the doctor of Huichun Hall. Wang Chuan hasnât come to get medicine for three days, and Master Wangâs illness is a high fever caused by a cold. â
âIn addition, he was overly worried, causing his body to collapse. According to the doctors of Huichun Hall, Old Master Wangâs health is indeed not very good. Although he survived, his body collapsed.â
âApart from that, that servant woman also didnât go to the Wang Family three days ago.â
âThe neighbors havenât seen Wang Chuan and his father go out these past few days..â
