“Second Sister-in-law, let me make the herbal tea. Do you still need this winter melon skin?” Ye Muyu walked to the chopping board and asked gently.
When Madam Zhang heard her words, she instantly remembered. “Third Sister-in-law, I remember that you know how to make winter melon tea, right? Then I’ll have to trouble you with this herbal tea.”
“Second Sister-in-law, you’re the best at controlling the fire. I’ll have to trouble you to start the fire.”
“I’ll cook. I’ll cook it early. The city gates will probably be locked earlier at night,” Madam Zhang arranged their work.
When Madam Wang saw this, she heaved a sigh of relief. When it came to making tea, she would usually make the most common bitter tea leaves at home. She would just grab a hand and put it into the water. There was no need to be so particular.
However, it was obvious that her mother had specially mentioned herbal tea just now, and she really did not know how to do it.
Madam Wang went straight to the fire.
Ye Muyu took over the task of making herbal tea. Winter melon tea also had the effect of cooling their body, but the taste was slightly different.
She did not need a pot either. She could just use the small stove that Chu Heng used to brew the calming tea for the child to brew the winter melon tea.
The kitchen was busy.
The county outside was also very lively. Although there was a kidnapping incident, the county magistrate specially sent bailiffs to maintain order, so there was no big problem.
Lu Chuan had just gone to investigate the kidnapper. He only spoke to Chu Heng for a while before he was sent to investigate the Wang family.
Ye Muyu would ask about the kidnapper when she got home at night.
Soon, the food was ready.
When Chu Lin heard that the county was starting to make Soft Fragrant Cakes, he went to line up.
Over here, Ye Muyu helped to bring the dishes to the table.
Liu Cheng looked at the table full of good dishes and felt a little ashamed.
“Sister, Brother-in-law, it’s such a pity to serve such good dishes to us…”
“What pity?” Madam Liu called for Liu Cheng, Madam Luo, Liu Jiao, and the rest to sit down.
“You’re from my maternal family. How can I not invite you to a meal since you’re here?” she scolded with a smile.
“It’s fine as long as you don’t mind the dishes.”
“Sister, these are such good dishes. If I reject them, I’ll be blind.” Liu Cheng was also very happy.
After everyone was seated, they were discussing whether they should wait for Chu Lin to come back and have dinner together.
However, Lu Chuan came back first.
“Master.” Lu Chuan stood at the door and did not enter.
When Liu Cheng saw that it was Lu Chuan, he was a little excited. He had always been thinking about the Wang family. After all, he had also received Uncle Wang’s kindness back then.
However, the whole family was having dinner, so it did not seem appropriate to talk about this.
Liu Cheng was a little hesitant.
Madam Liu saw his reaction and knew what he was thinking. She looked up at Chu Heng and said, “Old Third, let Lu Chuan come in and talk about the Wang family. It’s summer, so the dishes won’t get cold so quickly Moreover, your uncle insisted on waiting for your brother.”
“Then let’s hear about the Wang family. We shouldn’t just wait.”
Liu Cheng knew that his sister had seen through his anxiety and was helping him. For a moment, he was even more grateful.
Seeing that no one else objected, Chu Heng waved at Lu Chuan.
When Lu Chuan saw this, he walked in from the door and stood behind him. He told him everything he had found out.
“Master, I’ve asked the doctor of Huichun Hall. Wang Chuan hasn’t come to get medicine for three days, and Master Wang’s illness is a high fever caused by a cold. ”
“In addition, he was overly worried, causing his body to collapse. According to the doctors of Huichun Hall, Old Master Wang’s health is indeed not very good. Although he survived, his body collapsed.”
“Apart from that, that servant woman also didn’t go to the Wang Family three days ago.”
“The neighbors haven’t seen Wang Chuan and his father go out these past few days..”
