“You also know how good your dad is to Xiao Bao.”
Wang Jinhe suddenly fell silent. Indeed, Dad was very good to Xiao Bao.
Sometimes even better than to Sensen.
“I understand.”
In the capital, Yu Jingchuan looked at Yu Qingfeng, “Qingfeng, someone is taking care of things here. We don’t need to rush. Let’s go back first and let Yu Ji go see Xiao Bao.”
“Alright.”
After learning that Xiao Bao had been poisoned, both of them were very angry.
Especially knowing that it was someone from Lu Empire who did it, aiming to get what Xiao He had in her hands.
The next day, the two of them hurried back on horseback.
When they arrived home, they were covered in dust.
Gu Jiuning saw them coming back like that and couldn’t help but feel a bit helpless, “Xiao Bao’s situation is still alright now, you don’t need to be in such a hurry.”
“Poisoning is a very tricky matter. I’ll have Yu Ji go over and take a look too.”
“You should freshen up and change your clothes before going to see Xiao Bao.”
“Alright.”
They all bathed and changed clothes before going to see Xiao Bao.
With the medicine to suppress the cold poison, Xiao Bao’s spirits were much better.
When they arrived, Xiao Bao was sitting under the eaves watching Xiao Zhi and the others practice martial arts.
Yu Qingfeng was astonished to see Yu Mosun also practicing martial arts with Xiao Zhi and doing it quite skillfully.
“What happened while we were away? Even Sensen has started practicing martial arts?” he wondered aloud.
Yu Jingchuan looked at the little guy, Yu Mosun, with a smile in his eyes. “It must be something Su Yu told him.”
This kid doesn’t listen to just anyone. His relationship with Su Yu must be good if he’s taking up martial arts like this.
Qingfeng didn’t want to see him exert himself too much, but the surprise was waiting for them when they returned.
Xiao Bao greeted Yu Qingfeng with a smile when he saw them, “Grandpa, Grandpa Jingchuan you’re back.”
Yu Jingchuan walked over and looked down at Xiao Bao. “Are you feeling better?”
Xiao Bao nodded. “I’m fine.”
“Qingfeng, stay here with Xiao Bao. I’ll take Yu Ji to find Wan Gu and the others.”
“Okay.”
After asking around, they found out that Wang Gu and the others had been staying in the medicine room recently.
They went to the medicine room to find Wan Gu and the others.
“Wan Gu, do you have a way to cure the cold poison?”
“We do. The other medicinal ingredients are ready, we just lack the Red Fire Lotus.”
Yu Ji was somewhat surprised by this. He hadn’t expected them to have prepared the ingredients so quickly.
“May I see your prescription?”
“Of course.”
Yu Ji looked at the prescription they handed over, carefully examined it, and nodded in agreement, “Your prescription is very well-written. However, I’m not sure where to find this Red Fire Lotus.”
“It’s in the hands of the King of Nanjiang. Young Master and Nan Qiao have already gone to retrieve it. Judging by the time, Young Master should be arriving in Nanjiang soon,” Wang Gu replied.
Yu Ji looked at Wang Gu in surprise, “You know about the Red Fire Lotus? That simplifies things a lot for Xiao Bao.”
They could cure Xiao Bao without his assistance.
However, Yu Jingchuan wasn’t as optimistic as Yu Ji, “The Red Fire Lotus must be a very valuable medicinal ingredient, right?”
“That’s true.”
“In that case, why would the King of Nanjiang give it away?”
“I heard from Nan Qiao that the King of Nanjiang has a particular fondness for fine wine. This time, Brother Yu brought three casks of his finest wine with him.”
“Just three casks? That’s stingy.”
Bai Qi spoke up, catching Yu Ji’s attention. “Brother Yu’s wine is extraordinary. Just one sip is enough to knock someone out if they’re not used to it.”
Yu Ji looked at Bai Qi in astonishment, “That strong?”
“Yes, even for us, who are used to drinking, we felt dizzy after just one sip when Brother Yu offered us a taste. But his wine is exquisite, and even if you get drunk on it, you won’t feel uncomfortable.” Bai Qi’s mouth watered at the memory of its taste.
“You only truly understand the intoxicating aroma of wine after drinking Brother Yu’s aged wine. His wine is incredibly fragrant, and that’s the real essence of intoxicating aroma.”
Listening to Bai Qi’s words, Yu Ji couldn’t help but feel a bit envious.
“Don’t even think about it. Brother Yu won’t casually bring out his aged wine. He said it’s reserved for Xiao Bao and the others when they get married, so let’s not have any ideas about his wine.” Bringing out three casks this time was already the limit, especially since it was from the earliest batch.
Yu Jingchuan suddenly became interested as well, thinking that when Su Yu returned, he would ask him to taste it and see if it really was as good as they claimed.
Seeing Yu Jingchuan’s interest, someone nearby tapped their own head.
Uh-oh, if Brother Yu finds out that he’s eyeing his wine, he’ll be in trouble.
However, Bai Qi’s concern was unknown to Su Yu.
Su Yu and Nan Qiao hurriedly rode towards Nanjiang.
Nan Qiao looked at Su Yu with a serious expression. “Brother Yu, from now on, you’ll stick with me and be careful.”
“Okay.”
Nan Qiao led Su Yu inside.
As they walked, Su Yu finally understood why Nanjiang was the most mysterious place.
The poisonous creatures that occasionally emerged around them were not to be taken lightly.
“As long as I’m here, Brother Yu, these poisonous creatures won’t harm you. Don’t come here alone, it’s very dangerous,” Nan Qiao said with concern.
“Okay.”
After the two entered, upon seeing Nan Qiao return, some people looked at them for a moment before running off.
“The young master is back.”
A single sentence made many people hastily leave.
Su Yu looked puzzled at the scene. “What’s going on?”
Nan Qiao coughed awkwardly. “Brother Yu, just ignore all this.”
Seeing Nan Qiao’s embarrassed expression, Su Yu smiled. “So even Nan Qiao has moments of embarrassment.”
Nan Qiao frowned at Su Yu, feeling a little unhappy.
“Brother Yu, please stop talking.”
“What did you do to them to make them so afraid of you?”
“I didn’t do anything. It’s just that Yu Yan spread some unfavorable rumors about me, so they see me as a ferocious beast.” Nan Qiao shrugged innocently.
This really has nothing to do with him.
His time in Nanjiang is limited, and when he comes back, it’s only to see his Uncle.
He has never caused trouble for these people.
Seeing Nan Qiao’s grievances, Su Yu suddenly understood.
Why would Yu Yan and the others let Nan Qiao have an easy time?
Naturally, they would try to tarnish Nan Qiao’s reputation however they could.
They really aren’t holding back at all.
“If it bothers you, just don’t think about it. After all, they wouldn’t dare say anything in front of you.”
Nan Qiao nodded heavily. In the past, scenes like this would have made him very uncomfortable.
But now, it doesn’t bother him anymore. He has Brother Yu and many other friends; he doesn’t care about these people’s opinions.
“Brother Yu, I’m fine. They can’t influence my thoughts anymore.”
Seeing Nan Qiao like this, Su Yu felt completely relieved.
“That’s the right attitude. Yu Yan and the others are just trying to provoke you. Why bother letting it get to you?”
