My whole family sucked my blood; after being reborn, the little cook went on a killing spree.

"Name your price, Madam Su."

Mu Xun enjoyed this delicious meal and was completely won over.

He was used to spicy food and couldn't eat without chili peppers in his meals. But after tasting Su Niangzi's cooking today, he finally knew what delicious food was!

Whether it's spicy or not, special or regular, it's all so delicious!

How could this not move him?

Su Wanning had already carefully considered Mu Xun's medicinal diet.

"We will treat it in three phases, each lasting ten days."

The first stage is the most important. The amount of chili peppers consumed should be gradually reduced, and lean meat should be eaten. At the same time, a lot of light ingredients such as winter melon, bean sprouts, tofu, and Solomon's seal should be added to satisfy the appetite and also strengthen the spleen and relieve dryness.

The main decoction should be made with Ophiopogon japonicus, chrysanthemum, bamboo leaves, licorice, etc., and decocted according to the specified proportions.

In addition, there is a daily tea drink: boil pears and fresh reed rhizomes in water, and use white honey instead of sugar for flavoring. This can suppress the burning sensation in the mouth and promote saliva production and moisturize dryness.

"As for the second stage, it depends on your recovery. Just proceed gradually."

Su Wan Ning calculated the days and realized that there were only about ten days left until the ancestor's birthday banquet. She estimated that Xu Lingxi would have to let her stay at the manor three to five days before the banquet. So she made an appointment with Mu Xun to have lunch at the shop five days before the banquet, and he would take the tea, medicine and dinner back with him.

We'll discuss this further depending on the situation.

None of the ingredients and medicinal herbs needed for the entire treatment were particularly expensive, and the total cost was about two ounces. However, very few people in the county could prepare a reasonable medicinal diet.

Wouldn't it be unreasonable for her to ask for ten taels?

"Ten days, ten taels?"

Mu Xun felt that the price was a bit too expensive.

But since Su Niangzi's cooking is from the Imperial Kitchen and it's really delicious, the price is worth it!

Just as Su Wan Ning was about to explain that this was a thirty-day treatment course, Mu Xun had already taken out some silver. "Then I'll pay twenty taels first. After the treatment is over, we'll see how it goes. If it really can cure my temper, I'll pay the rest immediately, how about that?"

"Don't worry, Manager Mu."

Ten taels became thirty taels, and Su Wan Ning readily agreed.

She wasn't bold enough. These rich people don't care about a few taels of silver.

This shop is supposed to be selling medicinal cuisine, so if the prices are too low, it'll be hard for wealthy people to accept it. The Li family's ham sells for five taels of silver a piece, and she adds ingredients and herbs, then carefully prepares the dish, only charging five taels after five days. How is that expensive?

Having convinced herself, Su Wanning and Mu Xun agreed on a time.

She will prepare the materials tomorrow and come to the shop at noon the day after tomorrow to officially begin the treatment.

After the two finished discussing, Xu Lingxi knocked on the door and came in. "Manager Mu, shall we talk business? Are you selling your bird's eye chilies?"

"I'm going to check on the child."

Su Wanning found an excuse to avoid their conversation and gave Mu Xun the chili peppers he needed to treat his illness. She could use them freely, but if Xu Lingxi wanted to eat spicy food, she should buy them herself.

I was going to remind Xu Lingxi, but she thought of it herself.

Su Wan Ning felt that Xu Ling Xi was not as carefree, domineering, and irritable as she appeared on the surface. On the contrary, she was quite thoughtful. Just now, when Su Wan Ning was talking to Mu Xun about medicinal cuisine, Xu Ling Xi took the initiative to avoid the conversation.

The daughters of wealthy families, having been carefully raised since childhood, are indeed quite different.

The little beggar was placed in the large house in the backyard.

Qingfang had been taking care of her all day. When she saw Su Wanning arrive, she shook her head helplessly. "She didn't say anything. She hid under the covers after the medicine was applied."

"I'll do it, thank you, Sister Qingfang."

Qingfang nodded and left, then Su Wanning sat on the edge of the bed. "Does it still hurt?"

The little girl in the blanket stiffened.

Instead of asking her why she was homeless, why she was there, or why she was pretending to be a ghost... we asked her if she was in pain.

How could anyone care if she's in pain? Would anyone even care if she's in pain?

Her nose felt a little sore.

Peeking through the gap in the blanket, she saw the older sister who had saved her smiling at her!

It's a smile, a beautiful smile!

"You good-for-nothing, why aren't you going to dig for wild vegetables?"

"Boss, there's a little girl here! Let's grab her!"

"You filthy beggar, who gave you permission to beg here? I'll beat you to death!"

Everyone despised her, hit her, cursed her, and glared at her fiercely! So she found a good place to pretend to be a ghost and make others afraid of her!

But the shop still had to be sold.

She didn't want to be beaten, driven around, or captured and sold again. She was terrified, so she made a scene to solidify the reputation of the "haunted house" so that no one would dare to buy it!

But this time, she was arrested and almost beaten to death...

"Cry now, we've cried today, and we won't cry anymore."

cry?

She touched her face; it was wet.

Her throat tightened, a surge of grievance welled up in her eyes, and tears streamed down her face.

She threw herself into Su Wan Ning's arms, "I don't want to pretend to be a ghost either. I have nowhere to go. Sister, please don't send me away, boohoo."

She sobbed and explained, and Su Wan Ning understood.

The little beggar was discovered because of her. If she hadn't let Xie Yan book the shop, the little beggar could have stayed there a little longer. It was because she was afraid of being kicked out that the little beggar risked scaring people.

She hadn't thought things through properly. She should have come to see the house in person that day. If she had found the little beggar then, she might not have gotten this beating today.

This also shows that every action you take can trigger a series of changes!

Her memories from her past life will undergo unpredictable changes in this life due to her own existence and actions. What about Xie Yan?

Su Wan Ning suppressed her unease and first comforted the little beggar, "Since you have nowhere to go, just stay here and recover from your injuries. Consider it me watching the shop."

"I...I'll sign a contract to sell myself into servitude!"

The little beggar nodded vigorously.

"You don't even have a registered residence, what kind of indenture are you signing?"

Su Wan Ning was amused. "You should focus on recovering from your injury first. Whether you stay or leave is up to you."

"Thank you, sister!"

The little beggar was very sensible and even wanted Su Wan Ning to give her a name.

After discussing it, the two decided to name her Su Tang, with the nickname Tangtang.

"I hope you will have a sweet and happy life together from now on."

The beating Su Tang suffered today is so similar to the beating and torture she endured in her past life.

She could save Su Tang as if she were saving her past self. However, if this little beggar betrayed her in the future, she would not hesitate to punish him.

Xu Lingxi also finalized the price of the chili peppers with Mu Xun.

Su Wanning asked her to take care of Su Tang for the night, and she would go to the estate to pick her up the next morning.

"You're not going back to the Lin family's place tonight, are you? And what about my third brother?"

Xu Lingxi was puzzled.

"I'm not going back to the Lin family."

Su Wanning shook her head. "I'll have to trouble you to apologize to Young Master Li. I have something very important to take care of right away, so I won't be able to cook for him tonight."

"Do you need my help?"

Xu Lingxi didn't ask what happened, but instead asked directly if she needed help.

Su Wanning felt that she might be too lacking in love and friends, and was always touched by such small details, but she still politely declined, saying, "No need, it's more convenient for me to be alone."

So the shop was locked, and the two went their separate ways.

Xu Lingxi took Su Tang back to the manor, while Su Wanning went to the brokerage firm where Xie Yan worked.

She knew that although Li Xuzhi seemed very gentle, the more gentle a person was, the more likely he was to be narrow-minded. She had already agreed to the offer and then declined it, which might have offended him, but she had to go find Xie Yan.
