Chapter 172: Is Xiao Fu Bao Disliked? The Whole City Loves Me With Their Lives
**Chapter 172: The One in My Dream Said**
Yesterday, Suisui had a great time playing with He Shuruan . So this morning, when the two families met in the dining hall, they naturally sat at the same table.
Qi Wangfei exchanged a few pleasantries with Madam He and even specifically mentioned the Xiao Qinglong Decoction that Suisui had talked about early in the morning.
Madam He was quite touched to hear this and couldn't help but smile, covering her mouth: "For such a little girl to care so much about her sister, this child is quite remarkable!"
At this point, Madam He gently nudged He Shuruan : "You should thank your sister quickly."
He Shuruan was currently scratching Suisui’s chin. She thought Suisui’s round eyes looked like a cute raccoon waiting for someone to scratch her chin.
Yesterday, He Shuruan hadn’t dared to do this. But today, feeling more familiar with everyone, she gathered her courage and quietly asked Suisui: "Suisui, can I scratch your chin for a bit?"
Suisui had been scratched by her older brothers and even by Qiao Qiao before. Although it felt a bit strange at times, it didn’t make her uncomfortable.
So when He Shuruan asked, Suisui obediently nodded: "Sure, sister Shuruan , go ahead."
After saying that, she even raised her chin a little closer to He Shuruan .
Seeing Suisui so close, looking even more tempting than a raccoon, He Shuruan felt as if countless little fireworks had exploded in her heart, and her hand moved almost on its own.
She scratched a couple of times and found Suisui's chin to be soft and smooth. Unable to help herself, she rubbed it with the back of her hand a few times.
Before scratching, He Shuruan had sneakily checked her nails, afraid they were too long and might hurt Suisui.
While the two children were playing happily, Madam He spoke up.
He Shuruan subconsciously nodded in thanks: "Thank you, Suisui."
Although Suisui didn’t understand why she should thank her, she still politely responded: "You’re welcome, sister Shuruan ."
The two children looked puzzled, and after a moment, He Shuruan turned her head and quietly said: "But, Mother, I didn’t tell Suisui about the Xiao Qinglong Decoction."
He Shuruan had mentioned how she felt sick before, but she didn’t like to talk about taking medicine. What child likes to take medicine anyway? So, she avoided bringing it up.
Madam He was surprised: "Oh dear, then Suisui is remarkable!"
She hadn’t mentioned it, yet Suisui knew. Madam He thought that Suisui might be a genius in medicine!
Qi Wangfei was also curious, smiling as she touched Suisui’s head and gently asked: "Did you hear about it from Grandpa Liu, Suisui?"
On the way back to the capital, Physician Liu had taken care of them, so perhaps Suisui had heard it from him.
Hearing her mother ask like that, Suisui shook her head lightly: "No, it was the grandmother Xu in my dream who told me."
Qi Wangfei: ?
Madam He: ??
The two adults exchanged confused glances and then couldn’t help but laugh, thinking how interesting the world of children is.
A person in a dream, with a name and a surname!
At first, Qi Wangfei didn’t take it seriously, but as she laughed, she started to feel a bit concerned.
Nothing else. The Jin Yang Marquis has the surname Xu. Could this grandmother Xu refer to the old lady of the Jin Yang Marquis' household?
This kind of thought was fine when not delving into it deeply. But once she did, it became uncontrollable.
Feeling uneasy, Qi Wangfei's words inevitably carried a hint of distraction. Though she didn't want to compete for her daughter, she wasn’t the type to suffer in silence.
After thinking for a moment, she decided to ask Suisui who that grandmother Xu in her dream was.
Who wanted to compete with her for her daughter?!
Qi Wangfei didn’t want to scare the child, so she kept her tone gentle: "Suisui, who is the grandmother Xu in your dream?"
Suisui: ?
The little girl tilted her head, her face full of confusion.
That expression seemed to say: grandmother Xur is grandmother Xu!
Suisui not only felt puzzled but also actively stated: "grandmother Xu is just grandmother Xu!"
Though Qi Wangfei didn’t understand the child’s logic, she cautiously probed: "Did grandmother Xu say anything else?"
Suisui thought for a moment and then counted on her fingers: "grandmother Xu said that Sister Shuruan's sickness is a flower sickness. She can't look at flowers or smell them. If she wants to see them, she should cover her face. If she feels uncomfortable, she should drink Qinglong Decoction and cinnamon..."
The earlier part sounded fine, but when it came to the names of the medicine, Suisui started to stumble.
She had remembered for half the night, but not much stuck with her.
At this moment, she couldn’t recall the name of the second medicine.
The little girl tilted her head, her brow furrowing adorably and amusingly.
Qi Wangfei didn’t understand but patiently waited for the answer.
However, Madam He, who often took care of her daughter and communicated with doctors, knew more.
Once she heard it, she instinctively finished Suisui's sentence: "It’s cinnamon and sesame concoction!"
When Suisui heard it, the name of the medicine seemed familiar, so it should be correct, right?
But grandmother Xu had said that medicine is something that should be taken seriously.
If she couldn’t be 100% sure, she shouldn’t speak definitively.
Thinking of this, Suisui nodded, then shook her head, and uncertainly said: "It should be."
She only remembered cinnamon; she couldn’t recall the rest.
Even so, it was enough to surprise everyone.
Madam He suppressed her excitement and nervousness, trying to keep her voice calm so as not to scare Suisui: "What else did Xu grandmother say?"
The He family had seen many doctors regarding He Shuruan’s condition.
The diagnoses had been quite similar.
They all said it was an external evil causing the discomfort.
What that evil was, the doctors couldn’t pinpoint—some said it was wind evil, others said it was hair evil...
Although Suisui’s explanation wasn’t very clear, Madam He understood.
The little girl was implying that He Shuruan should avoid flowers or things like flower petals.
So, was the external evil the flowers? Or was it the flower petals or pollen?
If Suisui hadn’t mentioned the last two medicines, Madam He might not have thought too much about it.
But since Suisui could accurately name those two medicines that He Shuruan hadn’t mentioned, how could Madam He not think more, not get excited?
Madam He was so excited she almost wanted to pick Suisui up and ask every word, yet she was afraid of startling her and making Qi Wangfei unhappy, so she held back.
Seeing her like this, Qi Wangfei maintained her smile but felt her heart skip a beat.
Madam He didn’t know, but Qi Wangfei did—Suisui was destined for good fortune.
She had only just met He Shuruan , and although the He family was genuinely kind, was this too fast?
For Suisui, was this a blessing or a curse?
In that instant, Qi Wangfei felt uncertain.
