Nian Mu knew medicine, and Mr. Mu was worried that if she refused to take it, then everything he planned would be in vain, so he tried his best to convince her that he had no intention of harming her.
"This is the soup prepared by the old man for you. The medicinal materials are prepared by a good doctor. Young people can take this soup after staying up late. It is good for the health." The housekeeper also helped to speak.
He knew about the old man's plan.
The butler has worked in this family for most of his life, and he can be regarded as watching Mu Shaoling grow up, so his purpose is the same as that of the old man, and he hopes that Mu Shaoling will be well.
At least in the future, he doesn't have to be such a lonely person, with the woman he likes by his side.
The old man didn't have any malice in doing this. After all, they could see that they had a little affection for each other, but the progress was too slow, so the old man was a little anxious.
It is not a bad thing to have outsiders to promote.
At least for Mu Shaoling, it was not a bad thing.
Nianmu looked at Tang in front of him, then at the old man, and raised his eyebrows.
Mr. Mu met his suspicious eyes and said, "Drink quickly, can I harm you?"
"Grandpa, I just drank herbal tea an hour ago. Now that I drink this soup, I'm worried..." Nianmu was worried about overdoing it. She usually pays attention to her body and takes care of it very well, so she doesn't need to take any tonic.
Moreover, after giving birth to Xiao Niannian, Asa treated her like a medicine jar, and often made her take various medicines, not treating her as a guinea pig for testing medicine, but helping her to recuperate her body.
The minor ailments that happened in the past, as well as the many ailments caused by being too sad during pregnancy, were all recuperated by Asa.
Her current physique is better than most.
"Don't worry, the medicinal properties of this soup and that tea are not in conflict." Mr. Mu said with a smile, but his tone was better when he was talking to her.
Taotao grabbed Nianmu's sleeve and shook it, and said in a childish voice, "Sister, grandpa prepared it for you, you can drink it."
Mu Shaoling at the side picked up a spoon and took a sip, frowned and said, "It really doesn't taste good."
Mr. Mu glared at him, "When have you ever seen that medicine is sweet?"
"Grandpa, the medicine made by my sister is sweet, like candy." Taotao replied by raising her hand aside.
Mr. Mu looked at his little great-grandson lovingly, "Of course, it's the medicine for children, it must be sweet, but it's normal for the medicine for adults to be a bit bitter. Nian girl, drink it quickly, don't waste me a lot of thought."
When the old man talked to such a degree, if Nian Mu refused to drink, he would not give him face.
Picking up the spoon, she took a sip.
Indeed, the taste of the soup is the same as the color, and it has the smell of medicine. She tasted it carefully, and she felt that there were a lot of medicine ingredients in it. Simple, she could distinguish it, but there were still some better ones. I am afraid that she would have to look at the medicine dregs to know what it was. .
Although the soup smelled like medicine, Nianmu looked calm and drank it all under the watchful eyes of the old man.
Taotao picked up a cherry tomato from the fruit plate and handed it to her, "Sister, the soup is very bitter, eat some fruit."
"It's okay, everything is fine." Nianmu said, although she was not afraid of hardship, but she was not easy to get rid of the child's heart, so she took the fruit and ate it.
Cai Xiufen watched from the side with envy.
She heard from the cook that Mr. Mu bought a batch of precious medicinal materials. Although he didn't know it was your medicinal materials, the old man insisted that they should be sealed and kept dry, because the medicinal value is very high.
Maybe, these medicinal materials have been made into this bowl of soup.
"Since this bowl of soup is so miraculous, I am a little tired from taking care of Tianyu recently. Butler, go and bring me a bowl. Oh, by the way, Ruicheng and Ruirui are also busy recently, serving three bowls Come here." Cai Xiufen said, although she had seen many precious medicinal materials in Mu's house, she still didn't want to suffer.
The housekeeper showed a look of embarrassment, three bowls?
It's okay for Mu Ruicheng and Du Ruirui to drink, after all, they are husband and wife, but Cai Xiufen, if she drinks that soup, she will probably have to struggle tonight.
Seeing that the housekeeper had no intention of serving her soup, Cai Xiufen asked with a straight face, "Why don't you go? Did you just make two bowls of soup?"
"Go ahead and serve it to her. Just don't drink it for the child. These soups are too nourishing and not suitable for the child." Elder Mu said, Cai Xiufen was greedy. After drinking the scented tea, she still wants to drink the soup.
He didn't intend to stop it, she will suffer tonight.
After being ordered, the butler could only follow through and bring out the rest of the soup.
Mu Ruicheng didn't want to drink it at first, after all, this was the soup that the old man prepared for Mu Shaoling, so he didn't think there was anything wrong with it, since he was still young, it didn't matter if he was busy or tired.
Regarding the special arrangement of the old man, he didn't think there was anything to be jealous of, after all, the old man wasn't really partial.
Mu Shaoling was indeed much more tired than him.
It's just that Cai Xiufen insisted on asking Mu Ruicheng to drink it, "You have to drink a bowl of such a nourishing soup, otherwise how can you be worthy of the old man for having someone prepare it yourself?"
Mu Ruicheng had no choice but to bite the bullet and drink it. The taste of the soup was indeed not good, and the taste of the medicinal materials was a bit off-putting. After he took a sip, he didn't want to drink any more, "This soup is so bad."
Du Ruirui also put down her spoon. The taste of this soup was even worse than the soup she usually made with medicinal herbs.
"Bitter medicine, you don't have to stop, you have to drink it." Cai Xiufen frowned after taking a sip, but thinking of what the cook said, she insisted on picking up the bowl, took a deep breath, and finished the soup.
Nian Mu sat across from them, seeing their pain, he took another look at Mu Shaoling.
When he ate the soup, he only frowned slightly.
Sure enough, not everyone can stand the bitterness.
Mr. Mu looked at the appearance of Mu Ruicheng and his wife being forced to drink soup by Cai Xiufen, and asked the housekeeper to bring preserved fruit.
It's not for Cai Xiufen, but for Muruicheng and his wife. After all, they don't need to drink this kind of soup. At this moment, it's purely accidental.
After Cai Xiufen drank the soup, she quickly picked up a preserved fruit and stuffed it into her mouth. After the sweetness of the preserved fruit melted into her mouth and drove away the bitter taste, she breathed a sigh of relief, "This soup is too bitter."
Mu Ruicheng also took a preserved fruit and handed it to Du Ruirui, then he took one and stuffed it into his mouth, and asked the old man, "Grandpa, why did you ask the good doctor to prescribe such a bitter medicine."
"All medicines are bitter, and this prescription was prescribed by a good doctor, so it has nothing to do with me." Mr. Mu said, looking at Nian Mu, "Nian girl, rest in the old house tonight. The nanny has cleaned up the bedroom for you."
"Old man, I can't help it, I'd better go back and rest." Nian Mu immediately refused, if she agreed to stay and rest, Cai Xiufen's eyes would want to pierce her body.
