After being forced into a marriage of convenience, a master of metaphysics manipulates a cold and al

Xiao Taozi's fever finally subsided after staying at the hospital until midnight.

The doctor examined him again and confirmed that there was no major problem and he could go home to recuperate.

It's just a high fever caused by a viral infection; it's not a big problem.

After discussing it, Ye Bai and Qin Wanqing decided to take Xiao Taozi back to the Qin family manor first.

The main problem is that nobody knows what's going on with the nanny, or where she's gone. Sending Xiaotaozi home could easily cause problems.

Such a young child is not safe even under normal circumstances if no one is taking care of him, let alone when he is sick.

Unfortunately, they weren't familiar with Xiao Taozi's house, so finding anything was difficult. Naturally, it was better to go straight back to the Qin family manor.

It just so happens that Old Madam Qin hasn't seen Little Peach for a while, so this is a nice surprise for her.

Back home, Qin Wanqing made a bed for Xiao Taozi, preparing for her to sleep with her.

Ye Bai is here too, so we can work together on anything to save ourselves the trouble.

Especially since she already sleeps in a big bed by herself, she can easily fit even more children, let alone a little peach.

"Son-in-law, son-in-law, is it true that you are what you eat?"

While helping, Shen Lu looked at Ye Bai and asked curiously.

"Hmm, there's probably no scientific basis for that."

Ye Bai shook his head, puzzled, and asked, "Why are you suddenly asking this?"

Shen Lu said, "I was just thinking that you, young master, are always getting your kidneys pinched by the young lady, so I thought I'd buy you some kidneys to help you recover..."

Ye Bai looked up and rubbed his forehead, speechless. "You just want to eat kidneys, right? You could have just said so. Fine, fine, I'm hungry too, go buy some."

As he spoke, Ye Bai took out his phone and transferred two thousand yuan to Shen Lu.

Although this little girl is rich, even richer than him, as an adult, he can't let the child treat him.

What's more, he made a full 300,000 today, so he really deserves a good celebration!

"...You two can't live without food these days, can you? And don't you know that barbecue is unhealthy?"

Qin Wanqing glared at Ye Bai and Shen Lu, and said in an annoyed tone.

"Miss, if you don't want barbecue, I can buy you something else..."

Shen Lu said softly.

"Then I want to eat spicy crayfish."

Qin Wanqing nodded in satisfaction.

As expected of someone I raised myself, he's definitely a promising student; my efforts weren't in vain.

……

More than half an hour later, the three of them ran into the restaurant and began to feast.

"Qin Wanqing, do you know what crayfish eat to grow up?"

With a skewer of large kidneys in his left hand and a skewer of chicken wings in his right, Ye Bai looked at Qin Wanqing, who was eating with great relish, and asked her curiously.

"Don't listen, don't listen, you bastard is chanting sutras!"

Qin Wanqing clearly knew what Ye Bai was going to say, so she simply didn't respond.

She only cares about how delicious the crayfish is, and doesn't think about anything else.

"...You're awesome!"

Ye Bai finished eating the kidney and gave Qin Wanqing a thumbs up.

When it comes to the skill of burying one's head in the sand, Queen Qin was clearly a top-notch one.

Perhaps because they had been up for so long and were really hungry, Ye Bai and the other two ate their midnight snack until their bellies were round and they couldn't sleep.

So in the end, they decided not to rush to sleep. After washing up, Shen Lu found a deck of cards, and the three of them started playing Dou Dizhu (a popular Chinese card game).

It was also good to keep an eye on Qin Tao so that the little girl wouldn't fall asleep and get a high fever again.

The doctors at the hospital had specifically warned them that this type of viral outbreak is prone to recurrence.

"Young master, young master, what should we use as the stakes? Do we want to gamble with money?"

Shen Lu was the most excited. She had never gambled money since she was a child, but she had watched a lot of movies on the subject.

In addition, he has a father who is a gambling addict, so he has some of that trait in his genes.

"What are you kids gambling for!"

Before Ye Bai could speak, Qin Wanqing glared at Shen Lu and rejected the suggestion outright.

"How about...we bet on taking our clothes off?"

Ye Bai glanced at Qin Wanqing and said with a strange laugh.

At this moment, Queen Qin was wearing a nightgown, but it still couldn't hide her slender and charming figure.

"Oh dear, young master, this isn't right. Miss is still here!"

Before Qin Wanqing could react, Shen Lu blushed with embarrassment.

"...What nonsense are you spouting all day long! If I'm not around, are you going to take your clothes off for him to see?"

Qin Wanqing was so angry that she flicked Shen Lu's forehead.

She never used to do this because she had heard from older people that the more you tap a child's head, the dumber they become.

But at this moment, Qin Wanqing felt it didn't matter anymore.

With Lulu's brain like that, it makes no difference whether you knock her or not.

Anyway, even if I'm stupid, I can't be that stupid anymore; I've already hit rock bottom.

"Oh my, Miss, you can take off the clothes for the young master. I won't fight you for them."

Shen Lu screamed in pain after being hit, and finally covered her head and said pitifully.

"What the hell am I going to take my clothes off! Neither of us will take them off! We're not going to let this scumbag take advantage of us!"

Qin Wanqing was so angry she was almost going crazy. She wondered why she had to be so foolish as to play games with these two mentally unstable guys.

Finally, after discussing it for a long time, the three decided to stick the note on.

……

"Lulu, we're both farmers, this scumbag is the landlord. Why do you keep trying to bomb me?"

After a while, Qin Wanqing stuck the note to her face and looked at Shen Lu with a lifeless expression.

"Oh dear, Miss, I'm so sorry. I just can't remember things, and I was just trying to help the young master on my own..."

The little girl stuck out her tongue, looking embarrassed.

"...Forget it, I'm not playing anymore. I'm tired, emotionally exhausted."

Qin Wanqing threw away the playing cards; she was completely exasperated by this silly girl.

Without a doubt, although Shen Lu had a gambling father, she didn't inherit any talent from him.

But thinking about it, it makes sense. If Shen Fugui were really that good, he wouldn't have lost so badly.

"It's alright, it's not your fault. You played your cards very well. It's just that your young lady can't stand losing..."

Ye Bai comforted the dejected Shen Lu, barely managing to suppress his laughter.

"Lulu and I are going to sleep. You watch over Little Peach!"

Qin Wanqing glared at the gloating guy, then pulled Shen Lu away.

Silent all night.

By the next morning, although Little Peach was still a little weak, she was much more energetic.

"grandmother……"

Upon seeing Old Madam Qin, they cheered and rushed towards her.

"Oh my, when did my precious granddaughter arrive? How come Grandma didn't know? Let Grandma see if she's gained any weight recently..."

When Old Madam Qin saw Little Peach, she was first taken aback, then overjoyed and quickly hugged her, asking her a barrage of questions.

After breakfast, Xiao Taozi was still not fully recovered and started to feel sleepy again, so Shen Lu carried her back to her room to rest.

After Old Madam Qin figured out what had happened, her face darkened.

"Fifth Brother is such a troublemaker! I told him a long time ago to bring Little Peach back to live with the Qin family, but he just wouldn't listen!"

"They insisted that with her biological mother and nanny taking care of her, Little Peach would have a better life! A better life whatsoever! If you hadn't arrived in time, she would be dead!"

"What skills does that woman have besides seducing men! She even tries to become a Taoist hermit in the mountains; she's utterly clueless!"

While Old Madam Qin was cursing and swearing, Ye Bai suddenly perked up his ears.

"Go up the mountain...to cultivate Taoism?"
