Chapter 90 Xiangsha Liujunzi Decoction (Update )
Huaixi's smile was as bright as the sun. She climbed onto the bed and leaned close on her mother's shoulder. Her nose was filled with the sweet fragrance of her mother, and she felt extremely at ease.

Ruogu's eyes were also filled with relief and joy. She used her fingers as a comb to gently comb her daughter's hair and asked in a low voice, "How have you been these days while I'm away?"

Huai Xi said in a cheerful tone: "I'm doing pretty well. Apart from the slightly curious looks my teachers and classmates give me, there's nothing else wrong."

What Ruogu was most worried about was that Huaixi's life would be affected. Hearing her say this, he immediately felt relieved.

Huai Xi raised her head and asked curiously, "Besides being bullied at the premiere, did you feel tired when you went out for social events?"

Their past knowledge and experience are inappropriate here, and Huai Xi is worried that she can't cope with it.

Ruogu smiled and shook her head. She said calmly, "It's not that bad. It's not as complicated as you think. Although we can't avoid verbal battles, I'm not at a disadvantage."

Huai Xi nodded slightly, and she sighed softly: "In fact, our life in Wanling is also very good. Although the life is simple and trivial, but at least you don't have to worry about it."

Ruogu could understand her daughter's thoughts. She thought the same way, but some things are like rowing against the current. If you don't move forward, you will fall behind.

She is in her middle age now, so it would be fine for her to just live like this, but her daughter's life has just begun and there are endless possibilities. Ruogu really can't bear to let it go like this.

Ruogu gently stroked her daughter's cheek with her fingers, and she said in a warm voice:
"My hard work is nothing. At least your life is safe. You have great ideals and ambitions. This small place can't hold you back. What I can do is pave the way for you in advance, so there are some things I have to do."

Huai Xi was touched. She might not be unaware of these truths, but she wanted to be willful sometimes, so she asked casually, "Can I trust my dad? Will he mind that I'm a girl?"

Ruogu never tells lies, and she doesn't want to deliberately slander others in front of her daughter. She chuckled and said, "Your father can still be trusted at the moment, but it's hard to say in the future. He wants you to inherit the company, so why would he mind your gender?"

Huai Xi was surprised and said, "No way, why would he have such thoughts? I didn't see it."

Ruogu was very good at observing people's expressions and could extract important information from their words, so it was not difficult for her to guess Yu Yuan's thoughts. She casually mentioned the matter of Teacher Xi and his wife, and emphasized Mr. Xun.

Huaixi's eyes sparkled after hearing this. It was because she watched the video of Mr. Xun's debate with scholars that she had the ambition to become a diplomat. She couldn't wait to ask, "If I meet with Teacher Xi, will I have the chance to meet Mr. Xun?"

Ruogu nodded slightly and said with a smile: "In theory, it should be like this, but it depends on whether Mr. Xun is busy with official duties."

Huai Xi's smile grew brighter, and she said with great anticipation, "It's a great fortune to meet his wife. I'll always have a chance to meet him."

It was the first time that Ruogu saw Huaixi being so interested in someone. She said in a soft voice:
"Your father doesn't want you to get too close to Teacher Xi. He knows your ambitions and wants to stop you, but he also doesn't want to give you a chance to be criticized."

Huai Xi's cheeks puffed up slightly, and she said forcefully: "His words are useless. Let him think whatever he wants. I will contact Teacher Xi and will not give up until I meet Mr. Xun in person!"

Ruogu shook her head in amusement and said softly, "Don't worry. Mr. Xun might need me to treat him again. Although his previous illness can be cured, he is weak inside and he is busy with official duties. He will inevitably get sick again in the future."

When Huai Xi heard this, she didn't know whether to be happy or sad. She said helplessly:
"Mom, if Mr. Xun comes again, you have to take good care of his health. He works hard for the country and the people every day, and he shouldn't be tortured by illness."

Ruogu scolded, "Do I need you to remind me? Am I such a narrow-minded person? Okay, it's getting late. I'm going to turn off the lights and go to bed."

Huaixi got up and hugged the pillow and said, "You went to bed too early. I'd better go back and do some math problems before going to bed." Ruogu flattened the pillow, waved his hand nonchalantly, and gently reminded, "Don't do the problems too late. You are in the period of growth, you need to get enough sleep."

Huai Xi agreed straightforwardly, "Don't worry, I'll go to bed at 10:30 at the latest."

She turned off the lights when she went out, and Ruogu closed his eyes gently in the darkness.

After arriving home, Ruogu immediately sent a WeChat message to Yu Yuan to report that he was safe, and then turned the phone to silent mode and threw it away without paying any more attention to it.

She closed her eyes and quickly fell asleep. The comfortable sleep was a pleasure and she felt happy when she woke up.

After washing up, Ruogu enthusiastically kneaded dough and chopped stuffing to make meat buns with Sister Yang. Huaixi was very supportive and ate four fist-sized buns in one breath, which made Ruogu feel very accomplished.

Jishidiang reopened for business, attracting the attention of many people. Some were simply curious. They had never seen Ruogu himself, but wanted to see what Yu Yuan's wife looked like. Ruogu was labeled as Yu Yuan, which naturally added a bit of mystery.

Fortunately, He Hui was prudent in his work and the security personnel were dedicated, so only real patients could enter the clinic, so Ruogu didn't have to worry too much.

She had just finished seeing a patient and was writing down the medical records when she heard someone sitting opposite her. Ruogu didn't even raise her head and asked gently, "Excuse me, where do you feel uncomfortable?"

Xiao Qing showed a happy smile on her face, and she said in a brisk voice: "Sister Ruogu, long time no see!"

Ruogu looked up in surprise, "Teacher Xiao? Why are you here at the clinic? Are you feeling unwell?"

Xiao Qing nodded first, then shook her head, and chuckled:

"I do feel a little unwell, but it's just a minor ailment and not serious. I mainly wanted to see Sister Ruogu. I read the news online and found out that you are Yu Yuan's wife. I can't believe it."

Ruogu said calmly, "Why is this unbelievable? Yu Yuan is also an ordinary person with flesh and blood. It is normal for him to get married and have children."

Xiao Qing felt that this was true. She smiled and said, "Sister Ruogu, can you help me get Zhang Yuyuan's autograph? I'm his fan."

Ruogu said gently, "He's not at home right now. Let him sign for you when he comes back. Or should I feel your pulse first?"

Xiao Qing was skeptical about traditional Chinese medicine, but she didn't object and simply stretched out her wrist for Ruogu to take her pulse.

Ruogu remained silent. After carefully feeling her pulse for a moment, he said calmly, "You have a gastrointestinal disease, weak spleen and stomach, fullness after meals, upper abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting, and loss of appetite."

Every time Ruogu mentioned a symptom, Xiao Qing's eyes lit up a little more. She exclaimed in disbelief, "Sister Ruogu, Chinese medicine is so magical. All the symptoms match. You are simply the roundworm in my stomach."

Ruogu didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She explained softly, "Your illness is not difficult. A Chinese medicine doctor can diagnose it. I'll prescribe you a few doses of Xiangsha Liujunzi Decoction and you'll be fine."

Xiao Qing said seriously, "Then if I take Chinese medicine, is there anything I should avoid eating?"

Ruogu patiently reminded him, "Don't take the western medicine. Eat a light diet, avoid smoking and drinking, and don't eat raw, cold, or irritating foods. Don't worry about anything else."
