Chapter 171 Luring the wolf into the house
Hearing Ye Xiaoxiao say this, Qian Ruoyun finally felt relieved and made up her mind to treat Xiaoxiao to a good meal to make up for it.
Ye Xiaoxiao took Madam Qian's pulse and found that her body had recovered well, and her complexion was rosy and radiant, unlike the pale and bluish complexion she had seen last time.
She gave Qian Ruoyun some instructions and prescribed a new formula to strengthen her constitution and nourish her vital energy.
Qian Ruoyun insisted that Ye Xiaoxiao stay at her home for lunch.
Ye Xiaoxiao couldn't refuse, so she had to agree. To be honest, she was also a little hungry.
During the meal, Madam Qian personally served Ye Xiaoxiao dishes.
"Xiao Xiao, our family's chef is quite skilled. Try some, and eat more if you like."
"Yes, yes, yes! Xiao Xiao, you should try it!" Qian Ruoyun also put food on her plate, her eyes full of anticipation.
Ye Xiaoxiao looked at the mountain of vegetables in front of her, smiled helplessly, but she didn't stand on ceremony. She picked up her chopsticks and tasted the vegetables in her bowl. Her eyes lit up. The taste was indeed quite good.
She looked at the middle-aged woman in front of her. Although the crow's feet at the corners of her eyes were clearly visible, her face was dignified and beautiful, and one could still see the shadow of her youth.
Ye Xiaoxiao's bright eyes relaxed, she nodded, and praised without reservation, "The taste is really good!"
"Xiao Xiao, I'm so grateful to you for helping me recover so quickly this time!" Madam Qian said with a kind smile.
While eating, Ye Xiaoxiao said, "It's fortunate that you have a good constitution, which is why you recovered so quickly."
She ate a piece of braised pork with satisfaction; it was fatty but not greasy, lean but not dry—it was delicious!
She seemed to understand why Qian Jinyun was so round and plump. With such a good cook in the mansion, it would be hard not to gain weight!
Seeing that Ye Xiaoxiao liked braised pork, Madam Qian put a few more pieces on her plate and said, "Come on! Eat more meat. Look at your face. You need to eat more. You can't be so thin."
After saying that, he simply placed a whole plate of braised pork in front of Ye Xiaoxiao.
Ye Xiaoxiao was momentarily stunned, exchanging a glance with Qian Ruoyun. Their eyes were filled with both amusement and helplessness.
Qian Ruoyun said coquettishly, "Mom! I want to eat braised pork too!"
"Look at your round face, it'll get even rounder if you eat more." Madam Qian frowned slightly, deliberately making a disgusted expression, but her eyes were full of smiles.
Qian Ruoyun pouted and complained, "Mom, I'm all skinny except for my face. But look at Xiao Xiao, she's all plump except for her face. All her fat is in the right places."
Upon hearing this, Ye Xiaoxiao paused, her expression faltering as she ate the braised pork. She couldn't help but recall how Qian Ruoyun had envied her White Rabbit candy when they first met.
The two seemed to be caught up in the same memory, and after exchanging a glance, they couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Madam Qian took in the two girls' every move and said, "It's truly a blessing for our Ruoyun to have you as a friend."
"Ruoyun is a very good girl, and I like her very much. It's fate that we can be friends."
Upon hearing this, Madam Qian's smile broadened, but it was soon ruined by certain individuals.
"Hearing that my sister has just recovered from a serious illness, Lian'er specially ordered someone to stew chicken soup and bring it to her."
Aunt Liu's voice came from the doorway.
When Madam Qian saw the visitor, the smile on her face vanished instantly, replaced by a serious expression that revealed neither joy nor anger.
"Aunt Liu, what kind of disgusting thing is this?" Qian Ruoyun put down the bowl and chopsticks in her hand, a hint of disgust flashing across her face.
Ye Xiaoxiao glanced at the pot of steaming, oily chicken soup and said:
"Madam Qian has just recovered from a serious illness, so her diet should be light. Although chicken soup is the most nourishing, it is also the least suitable. In addition, your body has only just recovered, so you need to rest quietly for a while."
Upon hearing this, Madam Qian understood the meaning behind Ye Xiaoxiao's words and immediately had the chicken soup removed in front of Aunt Liu.
"Xiao Xiao is a doctor, so I'll listen to you. I'll drink what I'm supposed to drink, and I won't touch anything I'm not supposed to drink."
Upon hearing this, Aunt Liu's face turned pale. Could it be that they really knew something? Impossible, she had been so discreet, no one could have discovered it.
Panicked, she dared not linger any longer, fearing she might reveal something, and made an excuse to leave hastily.
Madam Qian stared at Aunt Liu's retreating figure with a pained look in her eyes. She knew that she was so weak because she had been poisoned, and all of this was because of Aunt Liu, that insatiable and greedy person.
Back then, I only let Aunt Liu into the mansion out of pity. This was already the biggest concession I could make, but I never expected it would be like letting a wolf into the house.
Hmph! Human greed is insatiable!
Madam Qian was also a woman of some means, but over the years, this Aunt Liu had always been well-behaved, which led her to mistakenly believe that the other party was truly a frail and sickly person.
Now it seems that beneath his sickly appearance lay a wicked heart.
Thinking of this, a fierce glint flashed in Madam Qian's eyes.
