Chapter 453: Chapter 453: Little Sister Takes Action, Jin Mansion in Trouble (3)_1

Lao Fan had said that acupuncture treatment would require a continuous month to complete, and Jeng Ruyue was simply too weak to withstand the daily travel to and fro. Therefore, Lin Yuan decided to have Liu Siqi and his wife both stay at the Fuman Building, after all, there was a small courtyard behind the building that was both quiet and clean, hardly ever occupied by anyone. It was just right for the couple to stay.

Liu Siqi was concerned about the expense of staying at the Fuman Building, reluctant to stay, but once he heard from Xia Zheng that Lin Yuan was now one of the owners of the Fuman Building, he settled down, both shocked and incredulous.

In fact, it would have been best to let Liu Siqi and his wife stay back at the Lin family hollow, but the side rooms were still without a heated brick bed, truly no place for them to sleep. Thus, they had no choice but to trouble Xiao Linshuang, who had to run back and forth with her every day.

However, the young girl didn’t feel tired at all, rather she was quite happy. She brazenly told Lin Yuan that she wanted to stay at the Fuman Building too.

Of course, Lin Yuan was not at ease with letting her stay, but thinking of Jeng Ruyue and Liu Siqi being there, and being unable to withstand the young girl’s persistent cajoling, she eventually agreed.

Hence, ever since Xiao Linshuang started staying at the Fuman Building, the kitchen would lose food every day, one day a freshly stir-fried dish would disappear, the next a ginseng soup prepared for guests would vanish. But somehow, clean plates and bowls that had been licked clean could always be found at the kitchen door.

In the elegant room on the second floor, Xiao Linshuang burped contentedly while listening to Lao Fan explain the questions on her manual.

And Lao Fan? He picked his teeth while pointing at the characters on the manual, explaining them to her, interspersed with occasional mumblings of "today’s dish was a bit too salty".

Xiao Linshuang nodded her head repeatedly, though it was unclear whether she agreed with his explanations or his last comment.

Since Liu Siqi and his wife were going to stay, they naturally had to go home and inform their family. Moreover, the good news of Jeng Ruyue’s imminent recovery and the hope of becoming pregnant had to be reported to their family as well.

Lin Yuan had just finished administering acupuncture to Jeng Ruyue and was exhausted and asleep. Taking advantage of this, Liu Siqi used Lin Yi’s horse carriage to go home and pack their things. After all, they were going to stay for a month and needed some spare clothes and silver.

Not only that, Liu Siqi also took a trip to his in-laws’ place, recounting Lao Fan’s words exactly as they were told. Jeng’s parents had only Jeng Ruyue for a daughter, and upon hearing the possibility of her recovery and hopeful pregnancy, they were immediately moved to tears of joy.

Seeing her younger sister becoming so capable, Lin Yuan also felt a great sense of relief and took her back to the Lin family hollow the same day to share her commendable deeds and the news of Jeng Ruyue’s hopeful pregnancy with her grandmother.

Lady Fan, who had been longing for a grandson until her eyes nearly went blind, was so thrilled she didn’t know what to say, hugging Xiao Linshuang, snuggling and cooing non-stop with endearing calls.

The old lady was not only delighted at the prospect of her son having an heir but was even more overjoyed at the idea that her daughter-in-law’s health was going to recover. At last, the dark cloud that had been looming over their family seemed to be dissipating.

Lady Liu had been the target of all sorts of gossip in the village for not being able to bear sons, little did they know, Jeng Ruyue, due to her frail health, had also faced various criticisms in the village. There were even instances of people secretly inciting their daughters to seduce Liu Siqi, but fortunately, Liu Siqi, deeply in love with his wife, ignored them all.

Lin Yuan now felt reassured, for Jeng Ruyue would no longer have to go against her wishes and take a concubine for Liu Siqi. Once they had a child, they were bound to be even happier.

On the imperial road from the Capital city to Zhuma Town, two horse carriages sped along, one behind the other. One was ostentatious and conspicuous, the other also luxurious but understated.
