A crown princess who doesn't do infrastructure construction isn't a good doctor.

Sanweixuan is a mid-range restaurant on Xijin Road, but it has excellent rules and ambiance. It is famous for its sour plum tea, sweet honey-glazed roast duck, and spicy chopped chili fish head.

Sanweixuan is quite popular; once you go inside, you'll find that the noise level is almost as high as on the street.

A waiter came and asked, and Qin Suiyou replied, "I have an appointment with two guests surnamed Du."

The waiter then led the two upstairs.

Lu Xi leaned close to Qin Suiyou's ear and whispered, "No wonder you wanted to leave the manor. I almost forgot they were arriving in Yejing today."

"I don't know if they've ordered yet, I'm starving."

Lu Xi's words were truly heartless; she forgot when the other person would arrive and then only thought about food.

After exchanging a few words, the waiter led the two to the innermost private room.

"This is it."

"If three men dressed in similar tight-fitting clothes come later, bring them here as well."

The waiter replied, "No problem, sir. I'll remember that."

After saying that, the waiter withdrew.

At the same time, the door to the private room opened from the inside.

"Young City Lord!"

The woman who opened the door was dressed in a neat short outfit but had a rather pretty and graceful appearance. She was very excited to see Qin Suiyou. Her already pretty face flushed with excitement, making her even more captivating.

At this moment, a handsome man who bore a resemblance to the woman walked up behind her.

The man was also very excited and quickly opened the door wider.

"Young City Lord, please come in first."

"Oh~ Can't you see me?"

Lu Xi crossed her arms and continued with a regretful expression, "Really, it's only been a few months, and things have gotten a little distant..."

Helpless, the man stepped forward and put his arm around Lu Xi's shoulder.

The man was a few centimeters taller than Qin Suiyou and almost a head taller than Lu Xi, so he could easily put his arm around him.

"How could we not see our young master Lu, the tyrant of Central Continent? Come, come, please come in."

After welcoming the woman in and closing the door, the man and woman walked together to the side of Qin Suiyou, who was already seated.

"Du Heng and Du Ruo pay their respects to the young city lord."

Before the two could even kneel down, Qin Suiyou interrupted them.

"Why are you two siblings being so formal? It's not like we haven't seen each other for decades. Sit down, let's get straight to the point, there are other people coming over later."

Among the group following Qin Suiyou, Du Ruo was the most courteous and took the rules the most seriously. She was like the "discipline committee member" of the Zhongzhou City Lord's Mansion. Du Heng was much more casual, but he dared not make any mistakes when his sister was watching over him.

It was only because Lu Xi was always so unserious that his siblings couldn't do anything about him, that they didn't feel any distance from him. After all, back in Zhongzhou City, Lu Xi wasn't Qin Suiyou's servant, but the third young master who was properly registered in the family genealogy. They originally wanted to change his and Lu Yu's surnames, but they both said they liked the surname "Lu" so they kept using it.

After the brother and sister obediently sat down, Du Ruo said, "No matter where we are, we must not neglect etiquette. Besides, we are just worried about the young city lord, so it is inevitable that we are excited."

Du Heng chimed in, "Yes, it's one thing for the young city lord to come out without taking Du Ruo and me, but he also didn't reply for so long. When he finally did reply, he was saying that he was getting married. The city lord and the others almost got sick from worry."

Du Ruo continued, "Upon hearing that the young city lord was getting married, if it weren't for your repeated instructions in your letter, the city lord and the others would have almost come to Beiqian to kill us."

Du Heng added, "My son-in-law also instructed me to 'carefully' investigate him and to write back to him."

Du Ruo: "And..."

The two people, who are usually very disciplined, were now talking nonstop, as if they wanted to say everything they had been holding back for the past few days.

Qin Suiyou poured himself a cup of plum tea that the waiter had prepared in advance, and savored it carefully, seemingly oblivious to everything else. Hmm, it tastes good.

Lu Xi picked at his ear and said, "Are you two thirsty? Here, have a cup of tea. This Sanweixuan plum tea is quite famous."

As they spoke, Lu Xi poured two cups of preserved plum tea and pushed them in front of the brother and sister, but he didn't forget his own.

The brother and sister didn't stand on ceremony and drank the plum tea in one gulp.

Setting down her teacup, Du Ruo continued, "Young City Lord, the City Lord, Madam, Miss, and Son-in-law are all very worried about you. Besides what you specifically requested, they also asked my brother and me to bring over quite a few things. They said you should keep your own things for yourself in case of emergency, and just send a message if you need anything. They also asked us to bring a lot of money over, so that you won't suffer any hardship."

Qin Suiyou listened quietly to the brother and sister talking for a while before speaking.

"When I have the chance, I will definitely apologize to my maternal grandparents and parents in person. The journey is long, so please rest for a while. If there is anything we haven't finished talking about, it's not too late to do it in a few days."

Looking at the handsome man in front of them with a gentle smile, the siblings knew he wanted to change the subject, so they had no choice but to go along with him.

Du Ruo said, "Let's put the Central Continent matter aside for now. Young City Lord, and Lu Xi, have you been wronged these past few days?"

Lu Xi leaned back in his chair and said, "With me here, what can we possibly be bullied about?"

Du Heng retorted, "I might believe it if you said Lu Yu was with me, but you've been sold out and you're already being generous by not counting the money for him."

Du Ruowei frowned slightly, puzzled, and asked, "Where's Lu Yu? Why didn't he come along?"

"Him? Who knows where he's off off having a good time!"

As they were talking, Lu Xi was about to cross her legs, but halfway across, she was startled and froze in mid-air by a look from Qin Suiyou.

"Hehe, my legs are a bit sore after walking for so long, I'll give myself a massage."

After pretending to massage himself a few times, Lu Xi said, "Are your legs sore? Do you want me to massage you too? I'm pretty good at it, come on..."

As he spoke, he made a gesture as if to reach out to Qin Suiyou's leg.

Qin Suiyou dodged to the side, saying, "No need, it would save me the trouble of setting my own bones."

"How could you say that! I can control my strength perfectly now."

Lu Xi retorted indignantly, her lips pouting so much they could almost hang a small lantern on them.

Back in Zhongzhou City, Lu Xi was a notorious troublemaker when he was a child. He once broke a piece of extremely hard ironwood belonging to Uncle Lin, a feat witnessed by several customers in the woodworking shop.

Later, he learned some medical skills and achieved good results. However, one time he encountered a patient who had accidentally broken his leg. The patient refused to let Lu Xi set his bone. Upon asking, he learned that the patient had been present when Lu Xi broke the ironwood. A child who was not even as tall as his waist could easily break ironwood. Normally, people would praise him for his superhuman strength. But at that moment, the superhuman boy was going to touch his own bone. Even if he had ten times the courage, he would not dare to joke about his own leg, for fear that what should have been a normal fracture would become a comminuted fracture.

Later, Lu Xi was constantly teased about this, which made him extremely angry.

Qin Suiyou's words reminded Lu Xi of the past, and the more she thought about it, the angrier she became, so she simply threw a tantrum.

"You have slandered me, causing me great harm both physically and mentally. You must compensate me. Think carefully about how you can heal my wounded heart."

Du Ruo looked at the arrogant Lu Xi with disdain and said, "The young city lord has always treated you the best, and you still have the nerve to ask for compensation. You really have nothing to fear."

"So what if I'm fearless? Youyou just wants to indulge me, hehe~"

Lu Xi arrogantly provoked Du Ruo, which was simply asking for a beating.

Du Ruo was speechless. Qin Suiyou had been indulging Lu Xi for a long time, ever since they were children. No matter how much he lectured him, he would only patiently correct Lu Xi's unruly little habits, and never really got angry with him.

Like a victorious little fighting rooster, Lu Xi proudly wrapped her arm around Qin Suiyou's and rubbed her head against his shoulder.

"Youyou loves me the most, right? Right~"

Qin Suiyou neither answered nor dodged, letting him act coquettishly and flirt.
