Chapter 975: Chapter 975: Asking for a Favor, With Ulterior Motives

After leaving the Luo Family, Lu Yichen drove around the corner to pay a visit to the Yuan Family, and delivered the festival gifts.

Old Master Yuan’s face lit up with a smile when he saw Luo Qiao arriving, "Qiaoqiao is here, just in time, Grandpa has a favor to ask."

Luo Qiao put down the things she was carrying, "Grandpa Yuan, what is it? Please tell me."

Old Master Yuan handed some snacks to Yanyan and Yueyue before getting down to business, "It’s like this, you’re aware of the trouble caused by the daughter of the Geng Family’s Main Wife; the poison in those two children can’t be cured, and Geng Yanrong doesn’t have the antidote either."

Luo Qiao asked, "Where did Geng Yanrong get the medicine from?"

Hearing Luo Qiao ask this, Old Master Yuan looked at everyone in the room who were all ears, "Come with me to my study."

Luo Qiao handed the children over to Lu Yichen and followed him in.

Old Master Yuan gestured for Luo Qiao to sit before speaking, "That medicine is from Geng Yanrong’s maternal family. Her maternal grandmother was once a housekeeper in the Imperial Palace, and it’s likely she helped her own master with quite a few dirty secrets, so it’s not surprising that some prescriptions were handed down.

Because Geng Yan Qiu’s father had shown kindness to the former in-laws of the Geng Family’s Main Wife, they used this favor to plead for leniency for Geng Yanrong. People from her previous in-laws are of noble character, and though they couldn’t swallow their anger, they did remember the kindness of the Geng Family’s second son.

Previously, when Geng Yanrong was in the detention center and caused a commotion threatening suicide, the matter had been dragging on without a result. Later, the Rong Family, ah, that is Geng Yanrong’s previous in-laws, announced that if someone could find a cure for the poison in their grandsons, they would spare Geng Yanrong’s life."

After Old Master Yuan had finished speaking, he saw that Luo Qiao was silent, "Actually, I have my own selfish reasons. I want to establish a connection with the Rong Family, so I was thinking of having you go and have a look at those two children.

Moreover, now that your fourth brother is courting Geng Yan Qiu, I was thinking that if this matter can be resolved, it might make things smoother for your fourth brother."

After hearing everything from Old Master Yuan, Luo Qiao asked, "So, the children should be fine for the time being, right?"

Old Master Yuan nodded, "Yes."

Luo Qiao thought for a moment, "Grandpa Yuan, let’s talk about this matter after half a month, after the birthday of Old Master Geng, is that alright?"

Old Master Yuan knew Luo Qiao was someone with careful consideration, so he said, "Of course, I was just hoping to earn some goodwill."

Leaving the Yuan Family, Luo Qiao mulled over the Geng Family’s affairs all the way home. She was actually looking forward to the birthday celebration of the Elder of the Geng Family now.

When she arrived back at the Gu family, Stone and Taifeng came out upon hearing the car, and Stone approached as the car came to a stop, "Sister, why are you only just getting back? We’ve been out to check N times."

Luo Qiao looked at the increasingly taller Stone, "What, missed your sister?"

Stone took Yanyan from her, "Please, now Yanyan and Yueyue are the priority."

Luo Qiao feigned distress, "Stone, you’ve changed, how can you do this to me."

Stone shouted to Lu Yichen, "Brother, I’m leaving my sister to you. Make sure she doesn’t overact."

Then he turned to Taifeng, who was holding Yueyue, and said, "Mission accomplished, let’s pull out."

Luo Qiao watched the two run into the yard, "Stone, you ungrateful thing!"

Lu Yichen looked around to ensure no one was nearby, "Not bad acting, being a doctor really puts you at a disadvantage."

Luo Qiao burst out laughing, "Aren’t you going to pick up the stuff and take it back?"

Just as the two were about to head back, they heard someone calling from behind, "Second Brother, Second Sister-in-law."

Luo Qiao recognized it as her sister-in-law’s voice, turned around, and saw Lu Yiting rushing towards them, asking, "Did you come back alone?"

Lu Yiting nodded, "I had duty today, but the boss let me leave work early. Xiangrui can’t make it back today, so I came to check up here."

Luo Qiao saw what she was carrying and stealthily retrieved a bag full of zongzi and two packs of tea leaves from the car to avoid being seen, "These are for you, we won’t come over."

Luo Qiao had a few complaints about Kong Xiangrui’s mother, so she was reluctant to visit.

She could have given more, but thinking of Fu Lanhua, she changed her mind, "Will you stay here tonight, or are you going back to your place?"

Lu Yiting replied, "After dinner, I’ll come over to play with you guys, and I’ll stay here for the night. It’s been ages since I last saw Yanyan and Yueyue."

Luo Qiao nodded, "Alright, come by early tomorrow and take the things I’ve prepared for you."

Lu Yiting immediately understood, "Second Sister-in-law, you’re always the best to me."
