Chen Yurao asked, "What method did you come up with?"
Wang Changfeng took out a paper bag and opened it in front of Chen Yurao.
Chen Yurao saw that the paper bag contained many dried fruit-like items, emitting a sweet fragrance.
"What is this? Dried fruit?" She picked one up, looked at it, and put it in her mouth to taste.
"It's both sour and sweet, and quite delicious."
Wang Changfeng explained, "This is called Mountain Huangpi. It is indeed a kind of dried fruit, and also a medicinal herb."
"There's no problem eating it normally, but this thing clashes with Horny Goat Weed."
"Isn't Li Zugen trying to make you drink Horny Goat Weed wine? Just drink with him."
"He'll definitely drink it too, and with this, after he drinks the Horny Goat Weed wine, he'll surely be in ecstasy."
Chen Yurao's expression changed, "But I ate it too, won't I also be unlucky?"
Wang Changfeng chuckled, "Don't worry, I also prepared Kudzu Root."
"Later, I'll boil some Kudzu Root water for you."
"Before you drink with him, drink the Kudzu Root water first. It will neutralize the medicinal properties, and there will be no problem."
"Just wait to see him make a fool of himself!"
Chen Yurao was still a bit nervous, "Will your method really work?"
Wang Changfeng patted his chest and said, "Of course, would I lie to you?"
"I'll hide in the woodshed then, ready to protect you at any time."
"If my method doesn't work, and that old beast dares to lay a hand on you, I'll beat him to death."
Chen Yurao asked again, "But what if he doesn't eat this Mountain Huangpi?"
Wang Changfeng was already prepared, "You don't need him to eat it. Just throw these Mountain Huangpi into the stove to burn."
"I'll go boil the Kudzu Root water for you first!"
As soon as Wang Changfeng finished boiling the Kudzu Root water and let it cool down a bit, Chen Yurao ran in in a panic.
"Changfeng, quickly hide! Li Zugen is here. I saw him carrying a wine bottle."
Wang Changfeng patted Chen Yurao's shoulder, "Don't panic, drink this bowl of Kudzu Root water first!"
After Chen Yurao finished drinking the Kudzu Root water, Wang Changfeng instructed her again to put the Mountain Huangpi into the stove to burn before drinking, and then he hid in the woodshed.
As soon as he entered the woodshed, Li Zugen's voice came from outside, "Yurao, are you home?"
Chen Yurao patted her chest, composed herself, and then pushed open the door, "Dad, why are you here?"
Seeing Chen Yurao's wary expression, Li Zugen smiled wryly and said, "You left this morning after feeding the child, without even drinking a sip of water."
"Am I that scary?"
Chen Yurao said coldly, "You should know what's going on in your heart. Do I need to spell it out?"
Li Zugen sighed, "Yurao, I thought carefully yesterday."
"Although you didn't leave a male heir for our Li family, we are still family after all, and it was indeed wrong for me to have such thoughts."
"So I came to see you today because I want to have a meal and some drinks with you to clear things up."
"Ever since my son died, you haven't eaten with me."
"We're father-in-law and daughter-in-law. You wouldn't even deny me a chance to eat together, would you?"
"Besides, it's just after dinner time, and it's not even dark yet. What can I do to you?"
If it weren't for Wang Changfeng's prior warning, seeing Li Zugen's sincere expression and reasonable words, Chen Yurao might have easily fallen for his trick.
Chen Yurao seemed very conflicted, but finally nodded, "Alright, then come in!"
The wine was brought by Li Zugen. He also brought sausages, roasted chicken, and peanuts, so there was no need to prepare any dishes.
The wine, dishes, rice, and chopsticks were placed on the table, and the two sat opposite each other.
They ate and chatted.
After Li Zugen drank a cup, he picked up the wine bottle and handed it to Chen Yurao, "Yurao, you used to be quite willing to drink. Come, have some with me."
Chen Yurao shook her head, "Eating is fine, but drinking is out of the question. I still have to nurse the baby."
Li Zugen shook the wine bottle, "This is medicinal wine. It can even stimulate milk production for women."
"What? You won't even give me this much face?"
Wang Changfeng rolled his eyes upon hearing that.
Most women might need milk stimulation, but Chen Yurao was different.
Her 'baby cafeteria' was incredibly abundant; she could feed not just one child, but even two more.
Chen Yurao knew that Li Zugen's purpose for coming today was to make her drink and lose control.
If she didn't drink, Li Zugen definitely wouldn't give up.
Thinking of this, Chen Yurao stood up and said, "Alright then, I'll go get a wine cup."
"And boil some water. It's too hot today. It'll be even hotter after drinking, so I'll have to take a bath later."
Li Zugen's eyes lit up, "Then hurry up and go."
He thought to himself that later, when Chen Yurao got drunk and out of control, he could just take a lovers' bath with her after they were done.
Chen Yurao went to the outer room, poured water into the pot, lit the fire, and stuffed the entire large bag of Mountain Huangpi into the stove pit.
Only after seeing the Mountain Huangpi burning did Chen Yurao take a cup and return to the room.
As soon as Chen Yurao entered the room, she brought in a strange fruity aroma.
Li Zugen twitched his nose twice, "Hmm? What's that smell?"
Chen Yurao replied, "Oh, I burned some dried grape vines."
Li Zugen didn't pay attention. He eagerly poured wine for Chen Yurao, "Come, let's toast."
He drained a cup in one gulp, and Chen Yurao also drank hers in one swift gulp.
As the medicinal wine went down her throat and into her stomach, a warmth surged up, and Chen Yurao's pretty face instantly took on an alluring blush.
Li Zugen's gaze swept down from Chen Yurao's face, landing on her firm, full, snow-white bosom.
He wished he could pounce on her right now and play with them.
Li Zugen and Chen Yurao chatted idly for a long time, and half a bottle of wine was gone between them.
He had been secretly observing Chen Yurao.
Noticing that Chen Yurao's eyes were a bit hazy, Li Zugen suddenly asked, "Yurao, after my son passed away, you must be quite lonely living alone, right?"
Chen Yurao exhaled a breath of wine, "Which widow isn't like this? I'm used to it!"
Li Zugen filled Chen Yurao's cup again, "Then have you never thought about finding a man to ease things a bit?"
