"Yes, if the little lady's cough can be cured, Madam will definitely be very happy."
Si Mobai was slightly touched, but said nothing and turned back to the study.
…
Su Qian talked to the child downstairs for a while, and then Mr. Si came over.
"Grandpa!"
When the two children saw their great-grandfather, they seemed to be kissing him, and immediately ran to his feet, each holding one of his calves.
The old man knelt down and held his two great-grandchildren in his arms, his eyes narrowed to a slit.
"Two little great-grandchildren, I missed you so much after not seeing you all night!"
"Grandpa, we miss you too!"
The old man and his little great-grandson were done talking, and then they noticed Su Qian sitting there.
"Qianqian, I'll take my two great-grandsons to the amusement park, and you and Mo Bai will have a good time at home!"
Her smile froze.
"Okay grandpa."
The old man held the hands of the two children.
"Let's go, grandpa will take you to play a very interesting project today!"
"Grandpa, what project is this?"
Su Qian watched the old man take the two children away, thinking a lot.
The better the Si family treated their children, the more guilty she felt.
She didn't know whether what she was doing was right or wrong. Mr. Si treated her and the child with all his heart. If he knew that she had deceived him, would he be able to accept it?
Just as he was worrying, Lu Jinnian walked in carrying large and small bags of things.
"sister in law!"
Seeing Su Qian alive, he ran towards her excitedly.
Putting the supplements in his hand on the table, he looked closely at Su Qian.
"Sister-in-law, are you okay?"
Ever since Si Mobai beat him up and told him that he almost killed Su Qian, he has been thinking about her in his heart.
I came here with my things yesterday and was rejected, but I rushed here again today.
Seeing that Su Qian was safe and sound, he felt relieved.
Su Qian looked at his bruised nose and swollen face, and looked at herself strangely, feeling frightened.
"What can I do?"
Sure enough, all of Si Mobai's friends were a little abnormal.
Lu Jinnian quickly apologized to her.
"Sister-in-law, I'm here to ask for forgiveness. That night you and Tang Hua came to the bar to drink. I originally wanted to punish Tang Hua, but I didn't expect you to be there..."
As soon as he reminded her, Su Qian immediately remembered.
If it hadn't been for the free glass of wine, she wouldn't have been able to fight back when she was framed.
She almost drowned and was closely related to Lu Jinnian.
"Did you ask someone to bring you that glass of wine on purpose?"
Lu Jinnian saw her eyes turning cold and quickly backed away.
"Sister-in-law, calm down, I really didn't mean it. If I knew it was you sitting opposite Tang Hua, even if I had a hundred courages, I wouldn't dare!"
Su Qian glanced at him angrily.
Although she felt like destroying him, she still endured it.
Judging from his appearance, what he said shouldn't be a lie.
"Lu Jinnian, your pranks are really boring!"
Lu Jinnian was like a child who had done something wrong and admitted: "Sister-in-law, don't be angry. This incident was purely accidental. Just forgive me!"
As he spoke, he pushed the supplements on the table in front of her.
"Sister-in-law, I personally selected these for you, herbs and supplements to relieve hangover and replenish the body. You are a perfumer, so you should use these."
Su Qian didn't even look at it.
"No, take it away."
"Sister-in-law, you must accept it, I don't want to be beaten again!"
There was grievance in Lu Jinnian's eyes, and he touched the red and swollen corners of his mouth while speaking.
Su Qian looked at him doubtfully.
"Being beaten?"
He is the young master of the Lu family, a large family in the imperial capital. Who dares to hit him?
Just as Lu Jinnian was about to speak, Si Mobai walked in from upstairs.
His cough attracted Lu Jinnian's attention and made Lu Jinnian stop what he wanted to say.
"Mo Bai, I'm here specifically to apologize to my sister-in-law today!"
Although he had been beaten before, he also knew that this incident was his fault. As a man who can bend and stretch, keeping his head down is not a big problem.
Su Qian looked at Si Mobai.
Does he also know what happened at the bar that day?
Could it be that he did the injuries on Lu Jinnian's face?
She guessed in her heart, but quickly gave up the idea.
How could it be possible? Lu Jinnian was his good brother, and she was just his contract wife. How could he beat Lu Jinnian over a glass of wine?
When she looked at him, his eyes just stayed on her.
After the two people's eyes touched, they moved away in a tacit understanding.
She still remembered the time he forcibly kissed her and didn't know how to face him.
But he didn't know what he was thinking, so he ignored her and Lu Jinnian and strode out.
"Hey! Mo Bai, aren't you still angry with me? I came to my sister-in-law in person to apologize!"
Si Mobai walked away without giving any response.
Su Qian asked Lu Jinnian curiously: "He was also in the bar that night?"
"That night I was checking the accounts in the back, but I didn't see Mo Bai. When I finished checking the accounts, this guy showed up at the bar and beat me up without any explanation. Sister-in-law, look at me, my face is swollen.
It’s been two days, if it continues like this, it’s going to be disfigured!”
Lu Jinnian covered his face in distress and muttered: "If I am disfigured, how many girls will be sad for me!"
Su Qian glanced at him with disdain and threatened: "In my opinion, there is a high probability that he will be disfigured."
"ah?"
Lu Jinnian wailed: "No wonder it's been two days and the red and swollen area is still not healed. Ah, ah, I've been fascinated by the handsome face of thousands of girls. Si Mobai, I'm not done with you!"
He covered his face and ran out, intending to go to Si Mobai for an explanation.
As soon as he left, the hall immediately became quiet.
Su Qian breathed out and walked upstairs without thinking too much.
…
The entrance of Jinxiu Garden.
Wu Xie handed a contract to Si Mobai, frowned and asked, "Master, do you really want to do this?"
He took the contract, flipped through two pages, and closed them again.
When he raised his feet and walked inside, Wu Xie bravely stopped in front of him.
"Master, please think about it carefully. It's just a herb. There must be other ways!"
"Get out of the way."
His voice was cold.
Wu Xie frowned and reluctantly stepped aside.
Si Mobai walked in, went straight to the backyard, and found Jiang Wanrong.
When he pushed the contract in front of her, she didn't react for a moment.
"What's this?"
"What you want."
The simplicity of his answer also made Jiang Wanrong's eyes look a little more interested.
She picked up the contract and flipped through it.
Although his expression didn't fluctuate much, the fiercely raised brows proved that he was right.
Her eyes lit up instantly, and she looked up at him in shock.
"What are you doing?"
He didn't have any nonsense: "Give me the herb and the contract will take effect immediately."
