Chapter 56: How to Repay a Life-Saving Favor?

The dishes Doctor Liu ordered were very plentiful.

The main consideration was still the two children's tastes, so sour and sweet dishes were predominant.

But it also took into account Prince Qing's entourage.

After all, they are tall and strong and can eat a lot; too little wouldn't do.

Their safety still needs protection from these people.

When eating, Doctor Liu didn't rush to eat himself, but first coaxed Sui Sui to eat.

Sui Sui didn't have a fever today, but her appetite was average.

In the morning, drinking porridge was still okay.

At noon, she really only swallowed it out of concern for Doctor Liu and her older brother.

In the evening, Doctor Liu had the restaurant prepare pumpkin red date millet porridge.

Soft, glutinous, fragrant and sweet, and also nourishing for the stomach.

Because rock sugar was added, the taste was sweet, and it finally aroused Sui Sui's appetite.

At first, Sui Sui still needed Doctor Liu to feed her.

But seeing everyone else eating, and with Liu Ye Ye feeding himself, Sui Sui obediently said: 'Liu Ye Ye, I can eat by myself; you should eat quickly, or it will get cold.'

Doctor Liu had previously thought Sui Sui was pitiful and adorable.

After yesterday's landslide, he felt that Sui Sui was more than just cute.

This is a blessed little cutie!

The more Doctor Liu looked, the more he liked her.

He had already been thinking: after returning to the capital, how to snatch this child from the mansions of Prince Qing and Prince Qi and bring her back to raise himself.

Doctor Liu, though advanced in years, was not really greedy for the child's good fortune.

He truly liked Sui Sui and truly felt pity for this child.

However, Doctor Liu just thought, and he more clearly understood that if Sui Sui followed Feng Xuanrui back to the Prince Qi mansion, or followed Prince Qing back to the Prince Qing mansion, it would be much better than following him, this old doctor.

Therefore, compared to taking her back, he would rather facilitate having Sui Sui follow Feng Xuanrui back to the mansion.

One reason is that the Prince Qi mansion has indeed been hoping for a daughter.

Although it's not certain that Sui Sui will be liked by everyone.

But if even one little prince likes her, that's enough.

Another reason is that his current job is to treat the masters of the Prince Qi mansion.

Therefore, coming and going from the Prince Qi mansion is more convenient for him than for others, so he can naturally see Sui Sui often.

When Doctor Liu was thinking things over in his heart, his face showed no sign, and he still smiled happily.

He even, while eating, casually mentioned what happened yesterday.

He emphasized the point that if Sui Sui hadn't happened to be ill, they wouldn't even know where they would be lying today.

At the end, Doctor Liu sighed and said: 'Who knows, among the people wailing in the medical clinic we just passed by, there might be us.'

Because Doctor Liu described it in detail, Feng Xuanrui also understood the scene after the landslide.

Heavy stones rolled straight down and then smashed into the carriage or onto people.

Because the speed was too fast, people didn't even have time to flee!

Just imagining such a scene makes one's scalp go numb.

Feng Xuanrui, a child, also felt a lingering fear.

He thought, 'Thank goodness, thank goodness, I have a little sister!'

Thinking of this, Feng Xuanrui wanted to share the piece of braised pork he had just picked up with his sister.

Before the meat could be placed in Sui Sui's bowl, he received Doctor Liu's deadly stare.

Feng Xuanrui then realized, 'Oh right, my sister's illness just improved; Doctor Liu said the diet should be light for two days.'

After realizing, Feng Xuanrui gave a hehe laugh and awkwardly explained: 'I just wanted to let my sister look at it; she'll be able to eat it in two days.'

Sui Sui was originally drinking porridge obediently; she didn't understand anything about the landslide or the lucky star.

She knew that to recover quickly and not hold everyone back, she needed to eat more and sleep more.

With sufficient spirit, the body will be fine!

Hearing her brother speak, Sui Sui lifted her head, glanced at the oily, soft, fragrant piece of braised pork, quietly swallowed her saliva, then shook her head: 'Brother, Sui Sui isn't hungry.'

After speaking, she swallowed her saliva again.

The braised pork, stewed until tender and flavorful, when you bite into it the meat aroma is rich; paired with a mouthful of white rice, it's endlessly satisfying.

Sui Sui recalled the texture she had eaten before, and swallowed her saliva again.

She's not hungry, really not hungry!

The little girl looked on eagerly, and Doctor Liu felt somewhat reluctant.

He changed a pair of chopsticks, dipped a little of the braised pork's broth into Sui Sui's porridge, and said: 'First taste the flavor; after a few days when you're better, we'll eat again.'

Seeing a speck of red, oily brightness appear in the middle of the golden porridge, Sui Sui's eyes lit up, she swallowed her saliva, lifted her head, and sweetly said to Doctor Liu: 'Thank you, Liu Ye Ye.'

After thanking him, she thought a moment and then said: 'I'll get better as soon as possible!'

Doctor Liu watched, feeling both heartache and joy.

He patted Sui Sui's head and affectionately said: 'Eat, eat; in a moment it will cool and the flavor won't be as good.'

Sui Sui nodded obediently and took small sips of porridge.

Feng Xuanrui watched from the side, feeling a bit envious.

Then he also secretly dipped a bit of the broth for Sui Sui.

Seeing Liu Dafu had no objection, Feng Xuanrui tried again, giving Sui Sui a taste of another sauce: "Little sister, this is sweet and sour meat."

"This is steamed fish."

"This seems to be roasted duck."

……

Sui Sui is small and has a small appetite.

Moreover, her appetite wasn't good, so she drank only a small bowl of porridge.

In Feng Xuanrui's view, after just a few sips from that small bowl, can little sister really be full?

Feng Xuanrui remained uneasy, asking many questions while muttering.

Seeing Sui Sui nod and even puff out her cute little belly, Feng Xuanrui finally felt reassured.

After the meal, Liu Dafu and his disciple quickly washed up the two children, then sent them back to sleep.

After a tiring day, the two children returned to bed, and within just a few breaths, they fell into a deep sleep.

Sui Sui didn't even hear clearly what the system said to her, and before she could get a bedtime story, her consciousness had already gone completely dark.

Watching the two children sleep soundly, Liu Dafu couldn't help but smile, then gestured for Qing Shan to keep watch well, and he withdrew.

Liu Dafu didn't rush to sleep, but went to find Prince Qing.

Liu Dafu thought: Never mind yesterday's affairs, whether it was a coincidence or something else.

But because Sui Sui was ill, they managed to avoid disaster—that is a fact!

He knew that letting Sui Sui go to Qi Wangfu or Prince Qing's mansion would be best; now, naturally, he should strive to get more and better protection for this child.

Adult Liu simply didn't believe it—Prince Qing, such a big person, receiving the protection of a little child, couldn't he help with a few small tasks?

Prince Qing clearly hadn't expected that Liu Dafu would come to see him so late at night.

He was also actually thinking about Sui Sui's matter.

Never mind whether it's a coincidence or metaphysics.

But the little girl indeed saved them.

Prince Qing felt he was not someone who would forget a kindness.

Can't we just pretend nothing happened just because Sui Sui is still young?

But how should we repay this life-saving favor?

Prince Qing still hadn't figured it out when Liu Dafu came over.

The second watch is at 7 o'clock.
