Chapter 247

Testing Liu Mama

Su Qing widened her eyes slightly and lowered her voice, “Yao’er, is there a problem with that Eight Treasure Tofu?”

“There is nux vomica powder added, but the amount is relatively small . So, there won’t be much problem with today’s meal . ”

Su Qing’s heart turned cold, “What if I eat for too long?”

“A little too much will give you a headache, chest tightness, and nausea . It’s very similar to the symptoms of seasickness when you’re in a boat . If the amount is excessive, it may cost you your life . ”

“Yao’er, the Su family plans on making a move now?” Su Qing’s voice trembled . It was unknown if it was out of fear or anger .

Mu Yunyao held her hand, “Mother, don’t worry . The Su family isn’t stupid to this extent . I think some people must have committed some mess and came up with such a stupid move . ”

“Yao’er might have guessed who it was?” Su Qing filled with worry .

“The weather is good today . I’ll help Mother take a walk outside, just in time to see who can’t sit still . ”

“Alright . ” With a smile on her face, Mu Yunyao helped Su Qing to the railing . They had already entered Bian River, the river surface was wide, and the water flows smoothly . The two sides of the river were extremely busy, they could see the buildings on both sides of the river, and occasionally, one could hear loud songs and fishing songs .

However, Su Qing didn’t have the mood to admire the scenery . Her chilled hand grabbed onto Mu Yunyao tightly .

Mu Yunyao held onto Su Qing’s arm, gesturing for her to look towards the horizon . “Mother, take a look . The sunset on the horizon is so beautiful . ”

Su Qing could not help but look up when she heard the words . In the distance, the water and the sky were all the same color . The river surface had been dyed red by the setting sun, and some flames seemed to be burning below the water surface . Occasionally, birds would fly passed by at low altitude, as if they were flying between the water and the fire, making people couldn’t help being surprised: “It is indeed so beautiful . ”

Mu Yunyao narrowed her eyes . When she heard the sound of movement behind her, she couldn’t help but turn her head to look over, and she saw Liu Mama walking up from the lower floor .

Liu Mama was feeling pleased with herself, she had previously heard someone say that Su Qing loved to eat tofu, but Mu Yunyao was very picky about it and never touched any of these things . The best part about the ingredients was as long as Su Qing didn’t feel comfortable eating it, she could find an excuse to say that the medicinal herbs on the boat were insufficient and go to the shore to buy medicine to help Su Qing recuperate .

Although Su Qing was the Old Madam’s biological daughter, this daughter had to live on the outside for so many years and had married a peasant family . Since the Su family had taken her back because of their blood ties with her, how could the Su family pay more attention to them? She only used some small tricks, and as long as Su Qing recuperates a little bit for a few days, she could not find the slightest clue .

Liu Mama raised her head, full of smiles, and looked directly into Mu Yunyao’s smiling eyes . Her heart couldn’t help but tremble . Those eyes were black and white, and the depths of her pupils reflected the sunset . It was like a flame rising . In the blink of an eye, it had penetrated the hearts of the people . “Greetings, Madam . Greetings, Young Miss . ”

“Liu Mama, there’s no need to be so polite . Have you eaten already?”

“In reply to Young Miss, I’ve already eaten . ”

“Mn, I heard Ying Xue say that Mama likes tofu very much, so I prepared some on the boat . Coincidentally, my mother also likes tofu very much . ”

Liu Mama’s heart couldn’t stop beating wildly, and the smile on her face was clearly stiff . “I didn’t expect Madam would like it too . If I had known earlier, I would have people to prepare some more . ”

Su Qing was very bewildered in her heart . When she heard Liu Mama’s words, she didn’t say anything rashly, just smiled and said nothing .

Mu Yunyao smiled . “I can see that Mama’s complexion isn’t good, but what’s wrong with it?”

“Maybe it’s because I’ve been on the boat for a long time, so I feel a little uncomfortable . ”

“Then Mama should hurry back and rest . Didn’t you say that there is a doctor accompanying? I’ll tell someone to get a doctor to look at you later . ”

“No… There’s no need . It’s just a minor problem . I’ll be fine after sleeping . This servant thanks Young Miss, for your concern . ”

Mu Yunyao had been carefully observing Liu Mama’s expression . When she saw him, she became even more distracted, and the coldness in her heart increased a bit, “Doctor He, my mother has a headache today . I don’t know why, so I have to trouble you to take a look . ”

“Alright . ”

Su Qing covered her wrist with a handkerchief . After He You had finished checked her pulse, he kept smiling, “Madam, you have been on the boat for a long time, a symptom of a false fire and having a bad night’s rest . That’s why you have a headache and will be fine after taking some medicine to recuperate for a few days . ”

Mu Yunyao nodded her head, “I’m actually worried in my heart . If Mother doesn’t recuperate in time, will the root of the disease remain?”

“The medicinal ingredients on the boat are insufficient . Some people require to take care of their bodies, but some people don’t need it . This disease can be very serious or very small . If the healing is not complete, it will indeed be troublesome …”

“Is that so … Oh yeah, Liu Mama isn’t feeling too well either . Just now, she looked especially unsightly, so doctor He helped her take a look . ”

“Yes . ” He You went forward and took Liu Mama’s pulse . What he said was more or less the same, as she had been on the ship long enough to make her uncomfortable .

Mu Yunyao nodded, then turned to look at Su Qing, “Mother, why don’t we let the boat approach the shore and rest for a couple of days? We can buy all the medicinal ingredients we need to help you recuperate?” While she was speaking, she had been looking at Liu Mama from the corner of her eyes . When she saw the happiness flash across her eyes, her heart instantly turned cold to the extreme point .

Su Qing shook her head, “Never mind . It’s nothing serious . Didn’t you talk to the doctor just now? I’m just feeling a little uncomfortable . Besides, we’re only a few days away from the Capital . It’ll be over after a while . ”

“Alright, then I’ll help Mother to have a rest . ”

Liu Mama was stupefied . Her expression darkened as she followed doctor He out . Liu Mama didn’t expect that even after Su Qing was sick, still unwilling to let the boat to shore . What should she do now?

Mu Yunyao supported Su Qing onto the bed and sent Ying Xue and the others out with an excuse .
