Su Xiaoxiao had left the palace late yesterday and slept even later. She had overslept in the morning.
After getting up, she first tidied her first aid kit.
She saw the black medicine bottle that the pharmacy had rewarded her with the last time. It was said to be medicine, but she had never opened it once.
Xiaohu walked in and pointed at the thing in her hand. “Mother, what is this? A black egg?”
Needless to say, this thing looked like a black duck egg. “Yes… Mother doesn’t know either,” Su Xiaoxiao said.
“Xiaohu, can you touch it?”
“Here. ”
Su Xiaoxiao gave him the little black egg.
Xiaohu grabbed it and opened the medicine bottle. Then, he poured it into his mouth without a word.
Su Xiaoxiao wanted to stop him, but it was too late. Xiaohu swallowed the entire bottle of pills.
In the next second, a terrifying thing happened. Xiao Hu actually grew up in an instant!
Su Xiaoxiao jolted and sat up. “Xiaohu!”
Uh… it was a dream.
She was scared to death!
She wiped the cold sweat off her forehead and looked around.
As expected, she found the reason for the dream about Xiaohu.
The little fellow was lying beside her like a little salted fish.
The three brothers had gotten up. Dahu was doing the horse stance, Erhu was okaying with the stones, and Xiaohu had nothing to do after walking around.
He couldn’t teach Sihu how to chew bones so he simply gave up and returned tc the house to start his life as a salted fish.
“Mother, you’re awake?” Xiaohu said.
Now that his mother was awake, he would not spoil it.
“Yes.” Su Xiaoxiao touched his head. “Have you eaten breakfast?”
“I didn’t eat,” Xiaohu said. “I ate noodles. Grandpa bought them.”
Breakfast was breakfast, and noodles were noodles. He could tell the difference very clearly.
Su Xiaoxiao couldn’t help but laugh. “Everything we eat in the morning is called breakfast.”
Xiaohu asked in confusion, “Why is not called break noodles?”
Su Xiaoxiao was stunned.
Su Ergou, who had been recuperating for a few days, also got out of bed and went to the backyard.
“Dahu, how’s your horse stance?”
“Uncle!”
Dahu greeted him seriously.
Su Ergou patted his shoulder. “Do it well.”
“Yes!” Dahu nodded.
Su Ergou came to the water tank and looked at Erhu, who was squatting on the ground. He asked, “Erhu, what are you doing?
“Soaking stones,” Erhu said. “Uncle, why are you up?
Su Ergou sighed. “I’ve been lying down for a few days and was about to mold, so I came out for a walk.”
Erhu looked at him and said, “Does your head still hurt?”
“It doesn’t hurt anymore,” Su Ergou said. He looked at the small basin in front of him. “Whv did vou soak so manv stones?”
“The stones look better after soaking,” Erhu said.
“You always see my sister soak her jade…” Su Ergou muttered.
Erhu picked up a small pebble. “Uncle, I like this small stone the most.”
Su Ergou pointed at the other two pieces doubtfully. “Didn’t you say you liked this the most last month? And this is your favorite last month. Which one do you like the most?”
Erhu said seriously, “I like them all!”
He loved every little stone!
He was not being indiscriminate. He wanted to give all the little stones in the world a home.
Su Ergou was speechless.
Wei Ting went out early in the morning, so Su Xiaoxiao naturally didn’t know that he had gone to forge physical evidence. After sending the three little ones to Ling Yun, Su Xiaoxiao went to the medical center.
The Benevolence Hall next door was filled with people, but they were not here to treat illnesses. They were here to watch the show.
The owner of Benevolence Hall had been captured, and Court Commissioner Hu had been arrested. The officials of the Dali Temple were searching for more evidence.
Su Xiaoxiao only glanced at them indifferently before going upstairs.
In the accounting room, Manager Sun was discussing the medicinal herbs with Physician Fu.
Seeing her come over, Manager Sun’s eyes lit up. “Little Su is here!”
After they became familiar with each other, the way they addressed each other changed.
“Yes.” Su Xiaoxiao nodded and greeted the two of them. “Manager Sun, Master.”
“I’m almost done here,” Physician Fu said.
He had to enter the palace with Su Xiaoxiao to perform acupuncture on the Empress Dowager.
“You can come in now!”
Manager Sun shouted outside the house.
A girl dressed as a medical assistant entered with the tea and bowed to Su
Xiaoxiao. “Boss.”
Su Xiaoxiao smiled. “Du Juan.”
Indeed, she was Du Juan, who had faked her death yesterday.
Du Juan took off the veil on her face and smiled. Su Xiaoxiao said, “It’s been hard on you this time.”
Du Juan had never betrayed Su Xiaoxiao, nor had she been targeted by Physician Fu or anyone else. Everything was just for outsiders to see.
Du Juan hurriedly said, “Du Juan’s life belongs to the boss. It’s Du Juan’s duty to serve the boss.”
Su Xiaoxiao took out the contract she had bought from Old Madam Zhou. “You died for me once. You’ll be free in the future. However, Du Juan’s identity is gone. It’s been hard on you.”
Du Juan smiled and shook her head. “Du Juan isn’t my real name. After I was sold to the Education Bureau, they changed my name to Du Juan. There’s nothing to miss about this identity. Speaking of which, I have to thank the boss.”
“What’s your real name?” Su Xiaoxiao asked.
Du Juan said, “Yunxiu, Zhang Yunxiu.”
Su Xiaoxiao said seriously, “From now on, you’re Zhang Yunxiu. I’ll think of a way to settle the household register.”
Du Juan… should be called Yunxiu now.
Yunxiu bowed excitedly. “Thank you, Boss!”
Su Xiaoxiao said, “If you have other plans…”
Yunxiu hurriedly shook her head. “I don’t have any, Boss! I want to stay in the Number One Hall. I like this place. I like Boss, Ying’er, and Sister-in-law Cao… Everyone treats me very well…”
It was really very good.
Even Manager Sun, who always liked to put on airs, was actually very protective of everyone.
Thinking of something, Yun Xiu lowered her head. “It’s just that… I’m someone who has ‘died’ once after all. Will I cause trouble for the Number One Hall?”
Su Xiaoxiao smiled. “You usually wear a veil. No one has seen your true face. They only know that you’re the older medicine girl and Ying’er is the younger medicine girl. I’ve announced to the public that a new medicine girl is here, so no one will suspect anything.”
“That’s great!” Yunxiu’s eyes lit up.
Su Xiaoxiao said, “Call Little Weizi and the others over. I have something to announce.”
“Yes.
Other than the three big bosses, only Little Weizi knew about Yunxiu’s fake betrayal. Yunxiu thought that Su Xiaoxiao wanted to confess this to everyone.
Unexpectedly, Su Xiaoxiao announced everyone’s new identities.
Fu Sheng was the second boss.
Manager Sun was the third boss.
“Ah, is this okay?” Physician Fu had never thought that he would become the second boss.
Su Xiaoxiao looked at him. “Didn’t you invest money in this medical center back then?”
Physician Fu scratched his head. “Ah, yes, but…’
He had brought it for her to spend, not to buy business shares for himself…
Manager Sun couldn’t stop smiling.
After enduring for so long, he had finally become the boss!
