"Giddy up!"
As soon as Hong Dai settled in, Li Yue Shu immediately drove the carriage away, nearly causing her to fall out.
Shen Wei froze, watching the carriage pass by him, unsure of what to do.
Hong Dai glanced back, feeling that his bewildered and helpless figure looked somewhat pitiful.
Hong Dai turned to the person beside her and asked, "You're just leaving him like this?"
Li Yue Shu replied without turning her head, "If you want to stay with him, I'll let you out right now."
Hong Dai: "..."
It was clear that Little Yue Shu was really angry right now.
No wonder, if someone dared to play with and deceive her like this, she would have directly chopped them up!
Hong Dai stopped talking, and Li Yue Shu didn't say another word. Instead, she took out a bottle of medicine from her spatial storage and handed it over.
She had asked Hong Dai for help, and Hong Dai had been injured because of it, so she naturally had to treat her.
Hong Dai took the medicine, changed her clothes in the carriage, and when she arrived at the medical hall, she looked no different from usual.
Since Shen Wei didn't always accompany them, no one noticed anything amiss.
Li Yue Shu went through the usual check-up for Liu Lan Lan's husband and instructed, "Brother-in-law is recovering very well and will be able to get up and move around in a few days."
Hearing this, everyone's faces lit up with joy.
Liu Lan Lan looked at Li Yue Shu, her eyes full of gratitude, "Sister Yue Shu, I truly don't know how to express my thanks to you."
Li Yue Shu looked up, and suddenly an idea came to her. "Sister Lan Lan, I heard Aunt Liu say that you sold your house to treat Brother-in-law's illness. Do you have any lingering attachments there?"
Liu Lan Lan didn't know why she was asking this and shook her head. "Over the years, to raise money for his treatment, we borrowed from all our friends and even didn't have children. If there's anything we can't let go of, it's probably the debts owed to our friends."
Her tone was a little dejected, but then she smiled. "But it's okay, now that my husband is healthy, we're still young, and we can slowly pay off the debts."
Seeing her unyielding spirit, Li Yue Shu no longer hesitated and said, "Sister Lan Lan, I want to hire you and Brother-in-law to work at Liu Xian Restaurant. What do you think?"
Liu Lan Lan's eyes widened in surprise. After a moment of stunned silence, she quickly replied, "That would be wonderful! Sister Yue Shu, don't worry, my husband and I are diligent people, and we will definitely work hard at the restaurant!"
Li Yue Shu naturally knew they were diligent and smiled. "Sister Lan Lan, I want you and Brother-in-law to learn how to manage the restaurant. When Liu Xian Restaurant opens branches in the future, I want to hand them over to you to manage."
"Man... manage the restaurant?" Liu Lan Lan was shocked. "We used to run a clothing store, and we have no experience with restaurants at all. This..."
"It's okay." Li Yue Shu patted her hand to reassure her. "Second Sister didn't know anything either, but she still manages the restaurant very well."
"You and Brother-in-law are acquaintances, so I can be at ease. Besides, if you can stay and accompany Uncle Liu and Aunt Liu, they will be very happy."
Liu Lan Lan was still hesitant, but she didn't directly refuse.
She had been back for a long time, and when she had nothing to do, she would visit the pharmaceutical factory. Naturally, she knew how generous Li Yue Shu was with her wages.
Moreover, being able to stay and accompany her parents was something she naturally longed for.
It was just that she was worried she wouldn't do a good job and would cause trouble for Li Yue Shu.
Li Yue Shu saw her hesitation and didn't say much more. She just asked her to go back and discuss it with her family and give her an answer in a few days.
...
While Li Yue Shu was busy at the medical hall, Shen Wei, who had been abandoned halfway, returned home alone.
At this time, everyone was busy with their own affairs, unaware of what had happened.
Wei Tong Hao, after finishing his training of the Wei family guards, came back and happened to see Wei Zi Miao playing with Wei Ling.
Unsure of what he was thinking, he walked over and asked, "Ling'er, what are you playing?"
Wei Ling looked up, pouted aggrievedly, and took out the rattle in her hand. "Grandfather, Uncle bought Ling'er toys again."
Her tone carried a hint of displeasure.
It was no wonder Wei Ling felt this way.
Although she was young, Wei Zi Miao often bought her toys that even three-year-olds wouldn't play with.
With so many children in the family, Li Yue Shu would usually buy toys along with study and daily necessities, so Wei Ling had long been tired of these things.
However, seeing her uncle's happy expression when he gave her the toys, she didn't refuse.
Who knew this would make him even more excessive!
Wei Tong Hao clearly knew about this too. He glared at Wei Zi Miao and quickly picked up his beloved granddaughter to comfort her. "Ling'er, be good, let's ignore your uncle. When we get back, Grandfather will have someone forge a sword for you, okay?"
Wei Ling's eyes instantly lit up. "Really? Thank you, Grandfather!"
This little girl's preferences were indeed different from ordinary little girls.
Listening to the conversation between the grandparents, Wei Zi Miao seemed oblivious to the little one's displeasure. He took the rattle from her hand. "Ling'er doesn't like it. Uncle will buy you something else next time."
Wei Ling pouted, seeming a bit resigned.
Forget it, this was Uncle's good intentions, she would accept it.
"Then thank you, Uncle. Ling'er is going to find Uncle Zhai Song to practice martial arts. Grandfather, Uncle, you can chat slowly!"
Zhai Song was a personal guard personally trained by Wei Zi Miao from a group of orphans by Wei Tong Hao. He was responsible for taking care of Wei Zi Miao's daily life and protecting him. Now, he had also become Wei Ling's martial arts instructor.
Watching Wei Ling leave, Wei Tong Hao finally turned to his son. "Zi Miao, your body has already recovered. When are you planning to go back?"
Wei Zi Miao spun the rattle in his hand and asked doubtfully, "Doesn't Father like life here?"
"Who wouldn't like such a leisurely and comfortable life? The people we brought with us have almost become Shen family guards." Wei Tong Hao changed the subject. "But this is not our home after all. Ling'er should go back with us."
Wei Tong Hao sat down on a chair beside him and sighed. "I came all this way specifically to meet that eldest young master of the Shen family. I've met him, and I've agreed to this marriage. It's time to go back."
Speaking of which, that Shen Yi Min, despite his young age, had an extraordinary demeanor. He had reportedly passed the county and prefectural examinations with the highest scores as a Tong Sheng. His future achievements would likely not be lower than his own, the Lord of Hong Ning City.
The key was that the child was gentle, steady, and had a kind and friendly family like Madam Shen. They would surely treat Ling'er well in the future.
Wei Zi Miao naturally knew that they had stayed here for quite some time, but he felt a bit reluctant to go back.
However, Hong Ning City was their home.
Hong Ning City had recently encountered the matter of the former crown prince's remnants. If they were away for too long, it might cause unnecessary panic among the city's residents.
Wei Zi Miao looked at the warm and lively courtyard, his voice carrying a hint of laziness. "We should indeed go back. Tomorrow..."
His voice suddenly stopped, and his gaze fell on a figure walking in through the doorway.
