The old lady felt extremely anxious since her disease was getting worse.

However, she could do nothing but throw a tantrum at home.

Chi Yun kept quiet.

He had really tried his best, but there was nothing he could not do. Chi Yun could only endure the old lady’s scolding. A hint of fatigue flashed across the middle-aged man’s eyes.

Suddenly, his phone vibrated.

It was a voice message.

[100% reliable news! Jiang Nan just bought an overnight plane ticket to Rongcheng City. He seemed to be visiting someone and even dropped by my place to buy some tea leaves. However, the tea leaves that he was looking for were very precious and I did not have any. If you try to get those tea leaves and give them to him as a gift, he might be willing to treat the Old Madam Chi! ]

The person who sent that voice message was a merchant who owned a tea shop in the capital.

Chi Yun had paid the merchant some money so he would provide him information if he had any updates regarding Doctor Jiang.

While Chi Yun did not have much of a reaction, the old lady’s eyes immediately lit up.

“Son, quickly ask Doctor Jiang what kind of tea leaves he wants. We’ll send them as a gift and then beg him to treat my legs…”

Chi Yun naturally had no objections.

“Okay.”

Even though the old lady had become more and more unreasonable recently, she was still his biological mother. There was no reason for him to not help her.

The old lady finally heaved a heavy sigh of relief.

There was still a chance that she could be cured.

Then, she recalled something and muttered, “Recently, many important figures have come to Rongcheng City. The famous Doctor Jiang, other experts from the academic world, and even the crown prince of the Fu family!”

As she spoke, the old lady gently pulled Chi Wan to her side. She smiled joyfully and continued, “Apparently, someone asked the crown prince what he was doing in this city, and guess what? He actually said that he was looking for a wife!”

“Wanwan, you are very talented and have accomplished so much. If you managed to marry Fu Shiyan…”

However, before the old lady could finish speaking, she laughed out loud.

Chi Yun, who had overheard what his mother said, frowned.

“I thought you wanted Wanwan to marry into the Song family?”

Song Ningshuang had just left. What Old Madam Chi said was very inappropriate.

The old lady glanced at Chi Yun indifferently.

“What’s the big deal? It was just a verbal engagement. The Song family is not bad but they are nothing compared to the Fu family. Wanwan naturally has to marry the best man that’s available out there.”

…

It was the next morning.

Chi Wei woke up by herself thanks to her biological clock.

She wanted to have a light breakfast and head to school but on the table, there were all kinds of tonic soups.

The corners of her mouth twitched.

Qiao Yuechu did not find the situation to be odd. She smiled but Chi Wei looked hesitant.

After a while, she said, “What’s wrong? Don’t you like mommy’s cooking? These tonic soups are very nourishing to the body. You’ve worked hard in school, so I brewed all of these for you. It took me 7 days!”

“This is chicken soup and that is duck soup. Over there is pig’s trotter soup. There’s also ginseng soup!”

“…”

‘She did not have to do this.’

After spending a couple of days together, Chi Wei had an understanding of her mother’s personality and culinary skills.

Looking at the table full of unappetizing soups, Chi Wei paused for a moment and then said, “I’m already full.”

“They can be packed and you can bring them to school.”

Qiao Yuechu’s eyes were sparkling brightly.

As long as her daughter did not complain about the taste of her cooking, then everything was just fine!!!

Old Madam Chi, who was supported by the servants, glanced at the tonic soups on the table.

“Your brain isn’t good. It doesn’t matter how much soup you drink.”
