After the imperial physician took Prime Minister Liu's pulse and confirmed that he was suffering from a simple liver fire, he learned that he had vomited blood due to his anger. He thought that it must be Liu Wangxing's trick, and bowed respectfully to him, "I wonder when Master Liu will be willing to teach this method to us old fellows?"

Liu Wangxing shook his head, "It can only be understood but not expressed in words~"

Mingyue rolled her eyes at him and said, "Just keep bragging, you're so stingy."

Everyone thought it was Liu Wangxing's credit, but Prime Minister Liu himself knew that Xiao Mingyue had also contributed to it.

Prime Minister Liu asked the imperial physician to take the pulse of his son and daughter-in-law. As Liu Wangxing said, the situation had been resolved and the disease had disappeared, but they were still a little weak.

The whole family was very happy to hear the news.

After a quick lunch, they said goodbye. Prime Minister Liu didn't try to keep them, but he was reluctant to look at Mingyue. After all, there were still many things to finish after this incident at the Liu Mansion.

Lord Wen took Mingyue back home, while Lin Siyu sat very still in Prime Minister Yuan's carriage, not daring to breathe. The two sat facing each other, neither looking at the other.

Fortunately, the Liu and Lin residences were not far apart, and the carriage soon arrived at the gate of the Lin residence. The fat boy Lin Siyu bowed respectfully to him and said, "Thank you, Prime Minister." He turned around and slipped into the house as if escaping.

Yuan Shoufu touched his face and asked his confidant, "Does this old man look fierce? How can he run so fast? Humph, this old man is not a cannibal."

How could the confidant dare to tell the truth? His master had such a stinky face. Except for showing a smile to the Empress and a good look to the two young masters, even the Emperor was scared by him when he was growing up.

"How could that be? Master, you are still so wise and powerful. I'm afraid the child has diarrhea and is anxious to go home."

Prime Minister Yuan didn't believe it. The boy was just not good enough. How could he be as cute as his own granddaughter and grandson? Although his little grandson had a serious face all day long, sometimes he didn't dare to say much.

"Hey, Mingyue is still the best. How come Lord Wen is so powerful that he snatched her away from the Ning'an Marquis' wife?"

"I don't know, little one."

"Okay, okay, I'm too lazy to talk to you anymore. Let's go to the roast duck shop on the front street and buy a slice of duck for mother." Prime Minister Yuan was too lazy to talk to him and closed his eyes.

"Yes." The confidant chuckled.

Lin Siyu entered the mansion, but did not leave quickly. She hid at the door and quietly observed Prime Minister Yuan's carriage. She breathed a sigh of relief when she saw them leave.

At this moment, Lin Sizheng was about to go out to look for him, but he found his brother sneaking around the door. He was ready to give him a "surprise", so he quietly put his hand on his shoulder and said in a loud voice, "Lin Siyu, why are you here!"

Lin Siyu was so frightened that she collapsed on the snow, clutching her heart, "Ahhhh——"

Lin Sixiu laughed so hard that he couldn't straighten his back. "Hahahaha, you're such a grown man, why are you still so scared? Did you do something wrong?"

"You are the one. You are already an adult, why are you still playing this trick? I will tell Sister Luo!" Lin Siyu looked at her elder brother in shock and threatened.

When Lin Sixiu heard his younger brother mention his fiancée, he got scared. "Good brother, I'm just kidding you. Don't look for your sister Luo. She's busy."

"Oh." Lin Siyu pouted, "Brother, I was just playing in the Liu Mansion. Prime Minister Yuan was there too. He sent me back."

Lin Sixiu held his brother's hand, stepping on the snow, which squeaked softly. He patted his ears uncertainly, "What? Who said that brought you back?"

"Prime Minister Yuan, the Empress's father." Lin Siyu spoke calmly as if he was telling a simple story.

"Why didn't you say so earlier!" Lin Sixiu regretted it so much that the image of the carriage driving away just now filled his mind.

Yuan Shoufu's status among literati was quite high. Even though many people said that he was too strict, old-fashioned and pedantic, there were still many people waiting for the opportunity to ask him for advice.

His younger brother had just been alone in a carriage with his idol, yet he didn't know how to cherish it! Lin Sixiu let out a long sigh and smiled what he thought was his most kind smile. "Alright, little brother, quickly share with me what you two talked about just now?"

Lin Siyu remembered every word, even the few times Prime Minister Yuan took a breath, he remembered it clearly. "First it was like this... then like this... Then he asked me my name. I said I was Lin Siyu, the youngest son of the Lin merchant family, and I had an older brother named Lin Sizheng who worked in the Hanlin Academy. He raised an eyebrow and said he had heard of you, that you were a student of Master Li."

"And then? And then? Did he say anything?" Lin Sixiu shook his brother's shoulders excitedly.

"And then... then nothing happened!" After saying that, Lin Siyu left her brother alone in the snow, staring blankly, and ran to the main courtyard alone.

Lin Sixiu reacted and shouted, "Lin Siyu! Just wait!"

……

As for Mingyue, it seemed very warm.

The entire Wen family was waiting for Mingyue and her group to return. The servant looked at Mingyue and shouted, "The little princess is home~" Shouts filled the Wen residence.

Madam Wen and Wen Xun just smiled at this. They didn't think that their subordinates were being unruly at all. Instead, they were very happy.

But Lord Wen curled his lips and said, "I didn't come to the wrong place, right? This is my home, why doesn't anyone welcome me?"

Mingyue held Liuliu in her arms and stroked his fur, saying with a smile, "I welcome you, welcome our Lord Wen home~"

Lord Wen was immediately coaxed into submission and became beaming with joy.

Mrs. Wen and Wen Xun were waiting for the two of them at the table. They were very surprised by the new little friend Liuliu. Liuliu seemed to be very close to the Wen family and did not get annoyed when being hugged.

Fortunately, the former owner Liu Guiren was not around, otherwise he would have fainted in the toilet crying.

Wen Xun liked this raccoon very much, so he specially found a servant who knew how to make dried fish and bought a lot of dried fish for Liuliu to chew.

Mrs. Wen's maids were also very happy and were looking for ways to sew small clothes for Liuliu.

Although Lord Gungun was a little dog, he was also very perceptive. He felt jealous and was afraid that his position was in jeopardy, so he followed Mingyue closely all the way.

Mingyue didn't show favoritism and gave Liuliu to Madam Wen while she stroked Xiaogungun and combed his fur with a small comb. He lay comfortably on the ground and snored several times.

The silver charcoal in the room made crackling sounds, and thick snow was falling outside. Mingyue and her friends were having a great time, and even the maids guarding outside the door had smiles on their faces.
