Mr. Gu's little darling is incredibly cool!

Lu Qingyun frowned slightly after reading the message.

This disease...

Well, she came at just the right time. She had just received her silver needles when she brought them to her for testing.

She hadn't used that set of needles in a long time.

I've accepted the order. Send me the address, I'll be there shortly.

After replying, Lu Qingyun opened the picture again to take a closer look.

Tang Qin wanted to ask something, but seeing how focused Lu Qingyun was on her phone, he didn't want to disturb her.

Soon, the car stopped in front of Chengyuan Mansion.

Lu Qingyun got out of the car, pulling her hat brim down slightly to cover her eyebrows and eyes.

After learning that Lu Qingyun was coming, Chen Su had been waiting here for ten minutes.

"Where's what I want?"

She came to collect the silver needles that Qu Mo had sent back to her.

"here."

Chen Su handed her a wooden box, then asked, "The restaurant has some new dishes, would you like to try them?"

"I have something to do later."

Lu Qingyun took the box and turned to leave.

Chen Su smiled slightly and followed her to see her out. "Okay, drive carefully."

Lu Qingyun got into the car with the box. Her phone rang; it was the address the person had just sent.

She turned her phone screen towards Tang Qin, saying, "Drive here."

Tang Qin glanced at it and said, "Okay."

The Yuan family?

Is the young mistress going to visit Miss Yuan?

He wondered for a moment, but didn't ask any further questions.

Lu Qingyun placed her phone on the seat and began examining the wooden box in her hand.

Tang Qin saw the box in her hand through the rearview mirror and raised an eyebrow in surprise.

The box looked familiar; he felt like he'd seen it somewhere before, but he couldn't quite place it.

Inside the box was a set of silver needles wrapped in a cloth bag. It was well protected and undamaged.

In a good mood, Lu Qingyun picked up her phone and transferred money to Qu Mo.

Lu Qingyun: [Transfer]

Lu Qingyun: [Thanks, I received the items.]

Qu Mo was clearly free, and replied quickly: "Kid, what kind of relationship do we have? Transferring money to me like this seems so distant."

If he hadn't accepted the payment instantly, Lu Qingyun might have been moved by their relationship for a while, but now all she wanted to say was, "Stop being a drama queen."

It took almost an hour to get to the Yuan family's house from here.

Lu Qingyun inquired about the Ouyang family's affairs with Qu Mo and, upon learning that they hadn't made any particularly significant moves, raised an eyebrow, finding it a bit strange.

"Young Madam, we've arrived."

Tang Qin parked the car in front of the Yuan family's house and got out to open the car door for Lu Qingjun.

The car's license plate was so distinctive that the butler at the door felt a jolt and hurriedly came to greet it.

"Mrs. Lu, Mr. Tang."

He bowed slightly to show his welcome.

There's no one in high society who doesn't recognize Tang Qin's face.

As soon as Lu Qingyun got out of the car, she saw that this was the Yuan family's residence. She was slightly stunned for a moment, then took out her phone and checked the address again.

Good guy.

What a coincidence!

"Uncle Chen, have my guests arrived?"

Yuan Yu, who was anxiously waiting in the living room, immediately ran out in her slippers as soon as she heard the noise at the door.

"Qingqing?"

Seeing that it wasn't the guest she was waiting for, a hint of disappointment flashed across Yuan Yu's brows, but then a faint smile appeared on her face, unlike her usual carefree demeanor, tinged with a touch of melancholy.

"I'm in a bad mood right now, Qingqing, you've come at the perfect time, chat with me for a while."

Yuan Yu affectionately took Lu Qingyun's arm and led her inside.

Lu Qingyun had no chance to explain why she came here.

Even after encountering such a situation, Yuan Yu still talked a lot, perhaps to distract himself from thinking about Old Master Yuan.

Tang Qin followed, and the butler poured them tea.

After taking a sip of hot tea, Tang Qin could clearly sense that something was off about the atmosphere at the Yuan family's house.

Upon entering, not only was the head of the household, Mr. Yuan, nowhere to be seen, but even Mr. and Mrs. Yuan were not in the living room.

The somber look between the butler's brows was particularly striking.

"What happened?"

He asked in a low voice.

The butler had met Tang Qin twice before and had a good impression of him, so he said, "The old man is sick. There were signs some time ago, but I didn't expect it to be so sudden, and it has reached the point where it is incurable."

After saying that, the butler sighed.

He was an old man in the Yuan family, having served Old Master Yuan for decades. He was a man of flesh and blood, and the butler felt very bad after learning about this.

Is it beyond saving?

That's not what we want...

Tang Qin didn't dare to say what came next, his expression also becoming somewhat grave, "The doctors all said it's useless?"

The butler nodded.

Is Grandpa Yuan sick?

Lu Qingyun interrupted Yuan Yu's incessant chatter.

The latter kept her head down while speaking and did not react when interrupted. It wasn't until Lu Qingyun asked that she raised her head, her dark eyes now bloodshot, tears welling up in her eyes.

It's truly heartbreaking to see Yuan Yu like this.

Lu Qingyun frowned, raised her hand to wipe away her tears, and said in a gentler tone than usual, "Don't worry, everything will be alright."

"They all say there's no hope."

Yuan Yu bit her lip as she spoke.

Lu Qingyun patted her shoulder and was about to explain her purpose when the upstairs door opened.

Yuan Yi ran downstairs with her phone in hand. She said into the phone, "I'm coming now, wait for me."

After saying that, he hung up the phone.

She noticed Lu Qingyun in the living room, a strange look flashing in her eyes. Then she nodded slightly to her and went straight out to pick up the person.

The guests outside were contacted by Yuan Yi.

A moment later, Yuan Yi led the people in.

"Why are you here?"

The person who came was none other than Shan Li.

Yuan Yi looked at Lu Qingyun with suspicion, then turned to look at Shan Li, and asked curiously, "Do you two know each other?"

With her arms crossed, Shan Li said in an unfriendly tone, "Who would dare to know her? Relying on A Jin's power, she kicks people out without any explanation. Anyone who gets involved with someone like that is doomed."

The open conflict left those inside speechless.

So these two have a grudge against each other?

Yuan Yu didn't like Shan Li's sarcastic tone. She frowned and shielded Lu Qingyun behind her, saying, "Are you a two-faced person? Why do you talk so sarcastically?"

Shan Li: ...

Yuan Yi: My little sister's mouth is as sharp as ever.

Tang Qin's eyes were already wary when Shan Li came in. If Lu Qingyun hadn't given him a signal, he probably would have interfered.

"Sister Li, Qingqing is my friend. I hope you can speak to me properly."

Yuan Yi did not neglect Lu Qingyun because she asked for her help.

Not only was she criticized by the two people, but she was also ignored by the person in question, making Shan Li so angry that she wanted to turn around and leave.

Shan Li snorted and turned to change the subject, "Where's your grandfather? Take me to see him."

She majored in traditional Chinese medicine and was quite knowledgeable in this area. A doctor had just said that it was better to see a traditional Chinese medicine doctor for this kind of illness, and Yuan Yi immediately thought of Shan Li.

That's how they got Shan Li's WeChat through someone else and invited her over.

I didn't expect things to get a little unpleasant right after we met.

Yuan Yi pursed her lips and led Shan Li upstairs.
