Chapter 412 - 376: Double Happiness Comes to the Door
Chapter 412: Chapter 376: Double Happiness Comes to the DoorMeng Qianqian was left speechless by Lu Yuan’s wolfish and predatory words.
The scattered nightclothes all over the floor seemed to silently accuse her of countless "sins."
The garment in her hand suddenly felt like a burning potato, and her mind was once again uncontrollably flooded with unspeakable images.
She shook her head like a rattle drum.
This isn’t real!
No!
Meng Qianqian looked down at her untouched, tidy clothing as if she’d found evidence to clear herself of the charges: "My clothes are perfectly fine."
"I dressed you,"
Lu Yuan raised an eyebrow, his tone casual yet cutting. "Afraid you couldn’t control yourself and demand endlessly."
Meng Qianqian: "...!!"
Meng Qianqian glanced around,
"Or triplets of dragon and phoenix?"
Wu Ge’er, the coachman, nearly steered the carriage into the ditch—
The first thing Liu Qingyun did upon returning to her estate was reward everyone with a gold ingot.
Additionally, the other servants of the Governor Mansion received an extra month’s pay.
"Oh yes, don’t forget the red eggs."
Liu Qingyun instructed Steward Cen.
Steward Cen: There’s no need to be this hasty.
Meng Qianqian fell asleep halfway through mending Lu Yuan’s clothes.
Liu Qingyun only saw her son: "Oh, you’re still standing?"
Lu Yuan: Is that how a mother should act? Can’t you be a bit more tactful?
Liu Qingyun: "Want more Great Replenishing Pills?"
Lu Yuan replied seriously: "No need."
"Still in denial?"
Liu Qingyun tossed him a medicine bottle. "Three pills, take them. Better nourish yourself."
Lu Yuan snorted but ultimately didn’t throw it away.
It wasn’t about being frail — he just wanted to prepare for emergencies.
Liu Qingyun grabbed his wrist.
Though not a doctor herself, she had dabbled in healing arts given the link between ancient medicine and Gu techniques, especially since her son suffered from cold syndrome. She’d learned a few basics over time.
After checking his pulse, she furrowed her brows in doubt.
"Odd."
"What’s wrong?"
Lu Yuan asked.
Liu Qingyun questioned: "You haven’t felt any abnormalities with your body?"
Lu Yuan: "No."
Liu Qingyun glared at him: "Not saying you’re frail, but with this situation, who wouldn’t be? Back when your father..."
"Hm?" Lu Yuan’s sharp gaze locked onto her; it was the first time she had voluntarily brought up his father.
Liu Qingyun cleared her throat, pretending she hadn’t slipped up, and said formally: "Your cold syndrome is nearly cured."
She’d spent years racking her brains for remedies for her son’s cold affliction, searching far and wide for treatments.
In the end, none of them had been as effective as this unexpected union of yin and yang.
The peculiar ginger pills were of extreme heat, while her son’s illness was of extreme cold.
By sheer accident, the treatment matched perfectly.
Why hadn’t she considered this method earlier?
Spurred by her words, Lu Yuan thoughtfully recalled that unlike before, he hadn’t felt chilled to his core upon waking.
He extended his hand to catch a falling snowflake.
The crystal-clear flake melted instantly upon touching his palm.
"It melted..."
He murmured in a daze.
He stepped down from the platform and into the snow-covered courtyard.
He caught one snowflake after another, watching them dissolve in his palm.
For the first time, he had the body temperature of a normal person.
