Chu Yu showed a smile and said, "Don't worry, my mother will definitely agree."

After setting out the bowls and chopsticks, she found three small bowls and poured a full bowl of bone soup from the pot.

Qingyu reminded, "Madam doesn't like soup. Miss, just serve your own."

Chu Yu shook his head and insisted, "That's not true. I see, Mom, every time you eat a few mouthfuls of rice, you have to drink a mouthful of soup. How troublesome it is."

"Give it to Mom first. Fill a bowl with it. I drink it in advance like this, and then I only have to concentrate on eating. You see, how well I am now is all thanks to this bowl of soup before meals."

"So that's it. Indeed, Miss, you have rarely been sick in the past two months. Then I will be like you in the future and drink a bowl of soup before meals." Qingyu nodded thoughtfully.

Chu Yu looked serious, "Yes, drink a bowl of soup before meals, your stomach will be warm, and you will feel comfortable all day long."

"Aunt Qing, I'm going to ask my mother to come over for dinner."

When the third lady served the table, she indeed noticed the soup that was specially placed in her hand that night.

Before she could speak, Chu Yu said expectantly,

"Mom, this is my favorite bone soup. I specially made a bowl for my mother. Please try it, mother. Does it taste good?"

"I also helped with tonight's dinner."

The third lady immediately laughed, "My little fish is really filial. She will always help your Aunt Qing, and she also remembers to serve my mother a bowl of soup."

As she spoke, she scooped up the soup with a spoon, drank it, and praised,

"It's really good. Qingyu, you are good at your craftsmanship."

Qingyu quickly said, "It was the young lady who helped me, and the heat was very accurate."

So the third lady praised Chu Yu again.

Chu Yu deliberately looked proud.

I breathed a sigh of relief in my heart. Both the third lady and Qingyu's behavior were normal.

I have no intention of resisting drinking soup.

Chu Yu held the soup bowl and drank slowly.

Probably the third lady came from a small family, and there was no taboo against a maid like Qing Yu serving at the table, nor was there any rule of not saying anything while waiting for food and sleep.

After praising Chu Yu for a while, he chatted with Qingyu about outside matters.

The third lady was locked up in this courtyard, but Qingyu could go out openly.

Not restricted.

While Chu Yu was eating, he listened to them talking about the price changes of medicinal materials on the market. He also mentioned whether to open up the backyard and grow some medicinal materials.

"Xiao Yu'er is also five years old this year. Usually, girls get engaged at the age of fifteen and get married when they are eighteen or nineteen years old. It has not been a few years. We have to save her dowry now. In the past, because of Xiao Yu'er's illness,

I haven’t saved any savings either.”

Qingyu advised, "Madam, don't be anxious. The master will definitely prepare the young lady's dowry for her."

The third lady shook her head, "What her father prepared is naturally her father's wish. As a mother, of course I have to pay my share."

When Chu Yu saw them talking about dowry, he felt a little embarrassed, but it wasn't that he was shy or anything.

After all, she knew very well that women in ancient times had no human rights.

In modern times, as long as you don't hinder others, no one cares whether you marry or not.

Of course, except for the kind of parents who enthusiastically urge her to get married, as well as various aunts and wives, no one would urge her to get married in her previous life.

She was enjoying herself in the laboratory by herself and didn't feel lonely at all.

In this life, she is not prepared to challenge the rules of the entire society. Anyway, as long as she has the ability, it is not easy to live her life as she wants.

Marry?

Could it be that after getting married, she would be imprisoned in her husband's house?

joke!

As long as a man is obedient, she doesn't care which woman he sleeps with or how many concubines he takes.

Even if he is a pure scumbag like her father, it doesn't matter.

Once the door is closed, she can continue to do her own research. If a man dares to interfere, Chu Yu doesn't mind giving him some medicine to turn herself into a single aristocrat.

There is no need to remarry in the future, and maybe you can even have a chastity memorial.

If a man can be known as a lover, she, as a woman, naturally doesn't mind spending her whole life as a widow for a dead man.

It has nothing to do with love or loyalty, it's just convenience.

Seeing that she had a calm face, she listened with interest to them talking about the dowry, without any shyness or evasion.

The third lady and Qingyu both shook their heads.

"I haven't figured it out yet."

"Young lady is still young. When you grow up, you will understand what this means."

Everyone enjoyed the dinner, so when Chu Yu suggested that Aunt Qing eat with them in the future, the three ladies did not refuse.

Instead, he took the hand of the frightened Aunt Qing and said, "I am handling those medicinal materials every day, and I feel very lonely. You should just talk to me."

Only then did Qingyu agree.

Chu Yu smiled and said, "With Aunt Qing talking to us, the dinner table will be more lively in the future."

For her, the more people eat this kind of food with her, the better.

This will eliminate the possibility of food poisoning.

Especially those people who were dining with her were all suspicious, which made Chu Yu even happier.

Come on, let's hurt each other.

…

Because Chu Yu said, don't worry.

Three days later, Xu's mother gave her the prescription she had obtained from Dr. Xu. After Chu Yu compared it, she found that the prescription did indeed lack a trace of redbud.

It’s not that she made a mistake in analyzing the properties of the medicine.

Chu Yu asked tentatively, "Mother Xu, is this the recipe I've been eating?"

Mother Xu did not doubt, "Yes, Miss San, you were diagnosed with congenital deficiencies when you were just born. Doctor Xu gave you several prescriptions, but after you were three years old and your health got better, you have been eating this."

Fangzi."

"Dr. Xu didn't say, do you want to take my pulse and change the prescription?"

"No, Miss Third, when you were unconscious with a high fever two months ago, Doctor Xu checked your pulse, and I asked if you wanted to change the prescription. Doctor Xu said no, your body is still too weak.

Use this recipe to take good care of it."

Chu Yu's heart sank, if this recipe is true and Xu's mother didn't lie.

In other words, Dr. Xu did not notice that she was poisoned.

How is it possible?

She believed in her own judgment, and the medicinal residue buried under the purple leaf tree was the most obvious evidence.

"Is the doctor we often use at home Dr. Xu?"

Chu Yu asked again.

Xu's mother shook her head, "Of course it's not Dr. Xu. After he left the Tai Hospital, he came back here and opened a medical clinic. He is very busy every day and has no time to stay at our house permanently."

"My master went all the way to talk to Xiang, and he only agreed to come to our house once every six months to get Ping An's pulse."

"Actually, in our house, Dr. Zeng sees the Ping'an pulse once a month."

Chu Yu looked stunned.

"Then why haven't I seen Dr. Zeng?"

Mother Xu glanced at the third lady's room with some embarrassment.

"Madam doesn't believe Dr. Zeng. She claims that Dr. Zeng has been bribed by the Second Madam and is unwilling to treat the third lady attentively. She may even do some tricks secretly, which will make Dr. Zeng angry and run away."
