Su Ruanruan was very busy.
Hospitals, Bao Mansion, and dealing with Anran.
Su Ruanruan was constantly researching the uses of Spirit Pearl Grass.
But, she could never figure it out properly!
Half a month went by, and her eyes were visibly darkened from exhaustion.
Bao Jingyan was deeply distressed.
At night, Gui Zhi brought her a serving of rice wine balls, "Take a break before continuing!"
Su Ruanruan couldn’t bear to disappoint the elder’s kindness.
She put down her books, and took a light sniff: "Smells good."
She took a bite and praised: "Aunt Gui’s cooking skills are getting even better."
Gui Zhi sat beside her, playfully scolding, "You sweet-talker."
Su Ruanruan just laughed.
Gui Zhi kept her company and chatted, asking, "Have you offered incense to the old lady?"
Gui Zhi patted her hand, comforting softly, "The old lady recognized the younger beauty when she left, she didn’t have anything to worry about."
Su Ruanruan hummed in response.
She finished the serving of rice wine balls, and Gui Zhi praised her.
Gui Zhi whispered softly, "You and Jingyan, don’t you want to have another one?"
She picked up a medical book, pretending to flip a few pages before saying, "He hasn’t mentioned it."
Gui Zhi nodded understandingly, "Men always worry about their wives getting pregnant, fearing it would affect their own comfort."
She actually quite wanted another child, but now was indeed not the time.
Su Ruanruan was about to continue reading the medical book when her phone rang.
It was a call from Mu Jiu.
Su Ruanruan thought he might be arguing with Jiarou and was about to offer some comforting words.
Mu Jiu told her, "Mrs. Yin has returned to Jiang City."
What was Mrs. Yin doing in Jiang City?
Mu Jiu then shared significant news, "She went to the house of the old servant of the Su Family! Aha, what a scene of searching through boxes and flipping cabinets, it seemed like she took something important."
Su Ruanruan pondered: That old servant was responsible for cleaning. If Su Peiming had torn off a fragment, the old servant must have picked it up and surely kept it well for a good exchange! Mrs. Yin must have thought of this and hence went to Jiang City.
She had an idea in mind.
She told Mu Jiu, "Brother Jiu, you have helped me a great deal!"
Mu Jiu waved his hand, not concerned.
Su Ruanruan hung up the phone.
After thinking for a moment, she came up with a plan.
She changed her clothes and asked Old Zhao to take her to Sun Mansion.
While driving, Old Zhao said, "If young master Jingyan comes back and doesn’t find you, he is sure to scold you."
Su Ruanruan replied, "I am going to handle serious matters!"
Old Zhao laughed, "Miss Su always handles serious matters, but in young master Jingyan’s heart, Miss Su herself is the most serious matter."
Joking aside, he still promptly delivered her to Sun Mansion.
It was already 10 PM.
The Sun Family was about to rest when Su Ruanruan paid a visit.
Sun Jingan and his wife, along with Old Lady Sun, greeted her.
Su Ruanruan didn’t care to have tea; she relayed the information discovered by Mu Jiu.
Sun Jingan squinted his eyes.
He said, "Mrs. Yin is cunning; she would never willingly release the fragment. We can’t just barge into her house to take it!"
Sun Jingan’s wife also worried, "Yes, this matter is difficult."
Su Ruanruan smiled lightly.
Wisdom shone in her beautiful eyes.
She said, "It’s not that difficult! Just..."
She lowered her voice, whispering a few instructions. The source of thɪs content is novel(ꜰ)ire.net
Upon hearing this, Sun Jingan slapped his thigh.
He praised, "I can’t believe you could come up with such a sneaky plan!"
Sun Jingan’s wife also delighted, glaring at her husband, "Ruanruan has thought of an excellent strategy!"
Sun Jingan didn’t quarrel with his wife.
He excitedly stood up, pacing back and forth.
He waved his hand grandly, calling over the steward.
He briskly ordered, "Spread the word that Anran has suffered a skin burn, and we are seeking miraculous doctors. Whoever can cure Anran’s condition will be granted a wish by our Sun Family!"
The steward received the command and immediately went to take action.
Sun Jingan couldn’t help but again admire, "This is truly a perfect plan, she won’t be able to resist it!"
