The delicate boy I picked up after traveling through the book is a big devil

Neither of them knew what Song Yu was thinking, so after hearing her words, they reacted differently.

Su He's face turned completely dark, but Lu Shangbai was very happy.

After chatting for a while, Lu Shangbai told Song Yu that if he needed anything, he could just tell his servants. Then when his subordinates told him that they needed him for something, he said goodbye and left.

After Lu Shangbai left, Song Yu said to Su He, "Come in, I'll make some medicine for you."

Su He hesitated to speak, and finally responded with a "Hmm."

Song Yu didn't notice anything. She brought back two medical books from the pharmacy. After Xianglu brought back the medicine furnace she was going to use, she watched over the furnace while reading the books.

She was reading a book and Su He was watching her beside her.

Soon the medicine furnace began to make gurgling sounds, and the air around was suddenly filled with the smell of medicine.

Song Yu stirred the medicine residue, picked up the book again, and saw Su He out of the corner of his eye.

She turned her head and looked at Su He: "You go and rest, I'll just watch over you here."

Su He shook his head: "I'll go with you."

Song Yu was silent for a moment, then nodded: "Okay, but if you're tired, go and rest."

Su He opened his mouth. He seemed to have caused Song Yu to misunderstand him too much. He wanted to tell Song Yu directly that he was not as weak as she thought.

He opened his mouth several times, but no words came out.

"Boss, the invitation has been sent out." Shuangque walked into the study and said to Lu Shangbai.

Lu Shangbai was counting the bills when he heard this. He looked up at Shuangque and said, "Li Ming is old. A new palace doctor has been hired. Let him go home. After all, he has been working here for more than ten years. You can give him more money when the time comes."

Shuangque nodded and replied, "Yes." After waiting for a moment, he spoke carefully, "Master, there is something I don't understand."

"What?" Lu Shangbai asked.

Shuangque hesitated and said, "Why didn't you deal with Li Ming when Doctor Song was here just now? This would let Doctor Song know that you are on her side, and it would also increase her favorability towards you."

Shuangque was a son of the Lu family. He followed Lu Shangbai to travel for business when he was a teenager.

Therefore, his understanding of Lu Shangbai and his insight into his thoughts are naturally more acute than others.

Upon hearing this, Lu Shangbai simply smiled and said, "If that's the case, Song Yu will know I'm on her side, but she'll also become the target of public criticism in this mansion. If she gets the old doctor kicked out of the mansion on her first day, what will others think?"

After hearing what Lu Shangbai said, Shuangque couldn't help but sigh in his heart that the boss was really thoughtful.

"Knock knock!" There was a knock on the study door.

The two of them looked at the door at the same time.

"Master, the second young lady is here." The servant outside the door announced.

Lu Shangbai put down the account book in his hand, stood up and walked around the desk.

Eight-year-old Lu Chenghuan entered the study room accompanied by his maid.

When he saw Lu Shangbai, he bent his knees and saluted: "Greetings, father."

Lu Shangbai said in a kind voice: "Well, Cheng Huan come here."

Lu Chenghuan stood up and slowly walked to his father.

Lu Shangbai looked at his daughter who had lost her mother when she was young, with pity in his eyes.

"Are you safe at home?" Lu Shangbai asked.

He lost his wife early in life and had no concubines. His son was fine, but his daughter was still young, so she had to be temporarily left in the care of her parents.

Because he travels for business all year round, he doesn't spend much time at home throughout the year.

The man is not that thoughtful, and his relationship with his daughter is not that good.

Lu Shangbai has always felt a little guilty towards his two children.

Especially his daughters, so every time he returned home, he would never forget to bring some gifts for the two children.

This time when I went home, there were some unexpected things on the way, so there were many things to deal with.

I originally planned to go find my daughter in the evening, but I didn't expect her to come here first.

"Thank you for your concern, father. I am fine." Lu Chenghuan said obediently.

Lu Shangbai looked at his daughter at this moment. She was quiet and gentle, well-behaved and sensible. He was extremely satisfied with her in the past.

Only if a woman is obedient and gentle can she find a good husband in the future.

The Lu family has a strong family background. When Lu Chenghuan gets married, I will definitely prepare a grand wedding for her.

But this time, when Lu Shangbai looked at his daughter in front of him, the figure of another girl appeared in his mind.

Song Yu is bright and lively, has excellent medical skills, is calm in the face of difficulties, and is intelligent and quick-witted.

She was not a standard well-trained lady from a noble family. If I had heard such a girl in the past, I would have sneered at her.

However, now, Lu Shangbai took Lu Chenghuan to sit on a chair beside him.

However, Lu Chenghuan stood up suddenly, and Lu Shangbai looked at her in confusion.

Lu Chenghuan said, "Father is still standing, how can a daughter sit still?"

Lu Shangbai was stunned for a moment, then said, "It's okay, sit down."

Lu Chenghuan did not move. Seeing this, Lu Shangbai sat down and asked Lu Chenghuan to sit down. Only then did she sit down.

Lu Shangbai asked, "What does Cheng Huan usually learn?"

Lu Chenghuan replied respectfully, "Knitting, playing the piano, chess, calligraphy, and accounting. Lately, my grandmother has been teaching me about household chores."

Lu Shangbai nodded, thinking that Lu Chenghuan was eight years old now. Girls reach the age of fifteen and can discuss marriage after that.

Time always flies by.

"Are there any difficult parts to learn?" Lu Shangbai asked.

Lu Chenghuan said, "Grandmother taught me carefully and didn't mind my stupidity."

Lu Shangbai said, "Your grandmother is a kind-hearted woman with a good heart. She manages the household well. If there is anything you don't understand, feel free to ask her for advice."

"My son will remember this." Lu Chenghuan said.

Lu Shangbai nodded. His daughter looked like her mother and had an exceptionally gentle personality.

"Father," Lu Chenghuan showed a hint of hesitation on his face, but he couldn't help but spoke.

"Hmm?" Lu Shangbai saw that his daughter seemed to have something to say to him, so he did not urge her, but just waited and listened.

Lu Chenghuan bit his lip, suddenly looked up and looked at Lu Shangbai: "Father, I heard that you brought a woman back."

There was hesitation and uneasiness in Lu Chenghuan's eyes.

Lu Shangbai thought she must have heard the servants' talk, and it was no secret, so he nodded and admitted: "Yes, he is my father's savior."

"Then, then..." Lu Chenghuan hesitated.

"What's wrong?" Lu Shangbai asked.

Lu Chenghuan mustered up his courage and said, "Will she be our new mother?"

Lu Shangbai was stunned for a moment, then his face turned cold, but this cold face was not directed at Lu Chenghuan, but at the person who let Lu Chenghuan know the news.

Although he had this idea, he did not express it out loud, not even telling his parents.

How did Lu Chenghuan know this? It must be that some blind servant gossiped in her ear.

"Who told you this?" Lu Shangbai asked.

Lu Chenghuan sensed his low pressure, and a panic suddenly rose in her heart. She lowered her head and said timidly: "I am, I am..."

He stammered and couldn't say anything for a long time.

Seeing this, Lu Shangbai sighed and patted Lu Chenghuan on the head: "Chenghuan, you shouldn't worry about these things. Father will take care of it."

"Yeah." Cheng Huan nodded.
