Understanding what was happening, Mu Mu waved his hand and withdrew Xiao Xia. Then, he pinched together a ball of letter in his hand and threw it towards Ming Yuning.
When the letter landed on the ground, Ming Yuning immediately picked it up and carefully opened it.
In the letters, Meier had mentioned many times that his days in Villa were not easy, and he especially missed being able to understand Mu and Ming Yuning, and hoped that Mu Xuanyin could think of a way for her to return to the capital as soon as possible.
Ming Yuning read the contents of the letter carefully, and his heart felt especially uncomfortable.
In these few days, he had been wanting to persuade his father to say a few good words in front of his grandfather and for his own mother to return to the Duke Palaces. He only understood that Mu Mu had been addicted to women and had not shown his face in the process, hence Ming Yuning did not see him again.
As for the prince, because he was not very fond of him, he had long been exempt from daily greetings. If it were not for the prince summoning him, he would never have been able to see the prince, even if he wanted to plead for mercy.
After thinking it over, he could only come here every day to understand the Mu Clan and see which day would make him feel better. Thus, he summoned him over.
"Father, look at what this letter has said. Mother's life in the Villa is not very good, so I hope that you can, out of consideration for the past, persuade Grandfather to let Mother return to the manor, right?" Ming Yuning carefully kept the letter and begged for forgiveness.
He spoke out: "Ning'er, it's not that I don't want your mother to return, but it's just that you know your grandfather's temper well. If he doesn't agree, your mother will never come back."
Ming Yuning had grown up by Meier's side, and he had learnt a lot of Meier's scheming skills. According to the situation before him, he knew that he had to make a move from Ming Chengyan, and only if Ming Chengyan agreed, would Meier have the chance to return to the manor.
He then remembered that had said that there was a way, and could not help but ask curiously: "Ning'er, didn't you just say that you have a way to let your mother return home as soon as possible? What is it? "
"Yes, Father." Ming Yuning's mind quickly turned and he nodded as he answered.
"Father, Ning'er and mother became close from a young age. If Ning'er is seriously ill, all the doctors are helpless …" Ming Yuning said what he thought one by one.
Mu Zi nodded as she listened.
Finally, he opened his mouth and praised, "This method is very good, my son has a way."
The father and son duo discussed about the details and understood that Mu Yurou wanted Ming Yuning to return to his own courtyard first. He would take care of the rest of the arrangements.
The next day, Ming Yuning suddenly received a message from the courtyard, saying that Ming Yuning had caught a cold and was unable to retreat due to the high fever. The eldest young master personally invited the imperial physician from the hospital to check his pulse, but he did not seem to have gotten better.
In a short period of time, rumors started to spread around the Duke Palace, and the matter of Ming Yuning getting sick from the disease also reached the ears of Ming Chengyan and the Madame Ye …
Villa
In these past few days, Shen Zhu had been making medicine food for Ming Yuchen everyday, so she refined even faster and faster when there weren't many pills. In these few days, she had accumulated quite a few medicinal ingredients she had obtained, and prepared to use these to refine pills when she had nothing else to do.
Inside the room, Ruanruan was peacefully sleeping in the cradle, while Zi Yi and Jingshu had also been coaxed by Shen Zhu into taking an afternoon nap.
She sat on the brick bed by herself, unable to fall asleep. With a thought, she entered the Cloud Pavilion.
After entering the Cloud Pavilion, the vegetables that she grew two days ago had already been collected by Abu. Furthermore, she obtained the corresponding ingredients and brought them to the pill refining room.
However, after careful examination, she discovered that just the antidote pills alone were not enough to completely cure Ming Yuchen's illness, and had to be used in combination with the Marrow Washing Pill.
There were many medical manuals in the pill concocting room, as well as various pill formulas and the effects of the pills.
Shen Zhu also made a few selections before choosing to use the Bone Ablutionary Dan.
The poison in Ming Yuchen's body had long penetrated deep into his bone marrow, and could not be cured without the Bone Ablutionary Dan.
After he finished refining the pills in the furnace, Shen Zhu picked up a book of ancient medicine and returned to his room with the things in mind.
She stayed in her room reading for the entire afternoon. When she was a little later, she went to the kitchen to make some pastries, asking the Ah Qiu to help her look at her child while she went to Hundred Fragrance House.
Today was the second time in the month that she was the head chef for Hundred Fragrance House.
Just like last time, she had ordered quite a few ingredients from the kitchen.
Shen Zhu distributed the pastries that he made to the waiter of Hundred Fragrance House, and she walked into the kitchen to start cooking.
Shen Zhu's main dishes today were lamb eggplant, green peppers stir-fried pork and cured lamb.
Amongst them, the lamb eggplant's method was the simplest.
She first washed the lamb and chopped it into pieces. Then, she peeled the eggplant and cut it into small pieces. She chopped spring onion, ginger, garlic, and dried chilies.
He boiled the oil in the wok, waited for the oil to heat up before adding the supplementary ingredients and stir-fry. He stirred the mutton until the fragrance was released, then poured the chopped eggplant into the wok. After boiling the oil in the wok and stir-frying, he added the soy sauce and a small amount of water.
As for the other dishes, they weren't anything special. The only difference was that the pastries were different today.
Today, Shen Zhu had made a cake with a flower, and there was only one pastry.
On the other side, Shen Zhu changed it to a snack — Fried Potato.
This fried potato was called potato chips in Shen Zhu's previous life. It was a very popular snack in the public's eye, and it could even be used as a dessert for cooking.
She first washed the potatoes and peeled them, then cut the potatoes into wavy slices. Naturally, she did not use ordinary blades to cut the potatoes, but found a famous craftsman who could make a special knife according to his description.
After the potatoes were sliced, they were rinsed clean in water. Afterwards, he scooped them up and drained them of water. If there was, it would be easy to cause the oil to splash in the wok.
When the oil was hot, he would put the potato chips in the wok. When the potato chips were fried to two golden spots, he could start the wok, drain the oil, and place it on a porcelain plate to sprinkle on the seasonings she had brought from the Cloud Pavilion. It was a taste that no one could imitate.
Today's dishes were also the same as last time. After Shen Zhu finished cooking one dish, he would eat another, and there would also be eleven dishes. In the end, it would be complete with a pot of good tea.
After Shen Zhu finished cooking, he walked out of the kitchen.
When Shen Zhu came out of the Hundred Fragrance House, he immediately returned to the Villa.
Returning to the Villa, Shen Zhu looked at Zi Yi and Jingshu playing in the courtyard, and thought that they would have to trouble the Ah Qiu the moment they stepped out of the door.
"Ah Qiu, come over for dinner tonight."
Ah Qiu carried Ruanruan as she walked out, "Sure, it's been a long time since I've eaten the dishes that my sister-in-law cooks for."
Shen Zhu entered the kitchen, thinking that he had bought a fish in the morning that had not been cooked yet, he decided to use it to make dinner.
Amongst them, Shen Zhu had used the fish head to make a portion of chopped pepper fish head, while the fish meat had been left as a soup, the remaining fish head was sliced into pieces and wrapped in flour and fried.
Not long after, Su Zongwen also returned from work. Seeing that he had returned, Ah Qiu did not continue looking at Ruanruan, and ran into the kitchen smiling, saying that he needed help.
"Sister-in-law, what are we going to eat tonight?" The Ah Qiu listened to Shen Zhu's instructions and went to fill a pot with water to wash the cabbages.
Let's eat fried fish tonight. There's also a hot and sour potato shredded with shredded cabbage, hmm …" "Why don't you add some Muppet Tofu, how about that?
"Sure, everything sister-in-law cooks is delicious. I like everything."
Ah Qiu nodded his head with a smile on his face. He took the washed dishes in his hands and cut them in two or three strokes.
"Help me dig up two potatoes." Seeing that, Shen Zhu pointed at the potatoes in the corner.
"Alright." Ah Qiu happily ran over and picked up two of the biggest potatoes. He carried the potatoes and walked over to Shen Zhu's side, peeking at Shen Zhu while peeling.
After hesitating for a long time, he finally could not suppress the urge to ask.
"Sister-in-law, did you help me ask about what I told you last time?"
