First Assistant's Petite Wife Has Space-Chapter 113 - 113 Have you ever Looked in a Mirror?
113 Have you ever Looked in a Mirror?
Xie Yunjin couldn’t help but chuckle. This woman was all bluff.
Lu Jiao calmed down very quickly. She took some paper and a brush and asked Xie Yunjin to write out the prescription.
Xie Yunjin didn’t make fun of her again. He sat up straight to help her write.
Though he just had surgery, his organs and his concussion were mostly healed. As long as he didn’t use his legs, he could move around decently.
Lu Jiao wasn’t worried.
“Rehmannia glutinosa, 5 grams. Kousa dogwood, 4 grams. Yam, 4 grams. Licorice, 1.5 grams. Ophiopogon, 7 grams. Alisma, 3 grams. Peony bark, 4 grams. Poria, 4 grams. Goji berries, 6 grams.”
Lu Jiao spoke slowly. By the time she was done, Xie Yunjin had finished writing.
Lu Jiao took over the paper and nodded in satisfaction. Honestly, Xie Yunjin had really pretty handwriting. His writing was crisp and sharp, yet benevolent. His writing made it obvious that the writer was no ordinary being.
Lu Jiao blew at the paper. She then asked Xie Yunjin to write out another prescription for Changmei. After he was done, she took away the paper and brush.
Xie Yunjin asked, “Who are these for?”
Lu Jiao pointed in the direction of the Second Grandma’s place and mouthed, “Lin Chunyan and Changmei.”
Xie Yunjin noticed that when she whispered, she looked almost playful.
He narrowed his eyes and checked her out. 𝘧𝒓e𝑒𝑤e𝙗𝚗o𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝐜𝐨ｍ
Lu Jiao seemed to have lost a lot of weight. When he looked closely, he saw that she’s lost a lot of fat on his cheeks, revealing her facial structure. He could tell now that the Second and Third born looked a lot like her.
Slimmed down, this woman was rather attractive. Plus, she no longer looked like the person she used to be.
Now, Xie Yunjin was no longer reminded of that woman from before.
Lu Jiao was unaware of his thoughts. She left with her prescriptions.
Inside the yard, Lin Chunyan finished sweeping. She was now chopping firewood with Zhou Xiaotao.
Zhou Xiaotao was ecstatic to have someone offer to help and she only stood up to hide her laziness.
Lu Jiao instantly shouted, “Chunyan, let her do it.”
Lin Chunyan eyed Zhou Xiaotao then looked back to Lu Jiao. Lu Jiao walked over and explained, “This is someone my mother-in-law sent to help me around the house. You don’t need to worry about her.”
Zhou Xiaotao wanted to curse. Helper?! This was so different from what she was told.
She wanted to go home but Lady Ruan talked her into coming back.
Zhou Xiaotao was 17 years old this year. She wasn’t good-looking and her family wasn’t wealthy. Despite all that, her parents wanted her pursuers to give them lots of dowries and that was why she still hasn’t married.
Zhou Xiaotao remembered how handsome Xie Yunjin was and swallowed her pride. If she could seduce Xie Yunjin and get rid of Lu Jiao, she’ll be the scholar’s wife one day.
Zhou Xiaotao felt heated by that thought and no longer minded the housework. After all, she’d be doing all this work at home anyway. At least if she did it here, she had a chance to seduce her cousin.
Lin Chunyan understood the situation right away. She glanced at Zhou Xiaotao and couldn’t find anything attractive about her. She definitely wasn’t as pretty as her third aunty. Just what was her fourth grandma thinking?
Lin Chunyan decided not to help Zhou Xiaotao. However, she still wanted to help.
“Third aunt, then let me cook dinner.”
Lu Jiao really didn’t want to trouble her. Lin Chunyan was already weak. Low iron, tired kidney, and an aging uterus… this woman had a pitiful life and Lu Jiao didn’t want her to do more work.
However, Lin Chunyan wanted to repay her. After all, if it weren’t for Lu Jiao, she would’ve been kicked out by her mother-in-law. If that happened, she would’ve died. Lu Jiao saved her life! It was right for her to do housework for Lu Jiao.
Lin Chunyan went to the kitchen. Lu Jiao couldn’t stop her despite her efforts.
In the kitchen, Lu Jiao gave Lin Chunyan the prescription.
“Tomorrow, ask Huzi to get medicine accordingly. Get 10 portions. Drink one portion in the morning, one at night.”
“Okay, I got it.”
“This prescription is for your aunt. Give it to her for me.”
Lu Jiao thought about it and then secretly took out a hose and asked Lin Chunan to take it.
“This is for your aunt. Boil some water with wormwood in it, fill this up with that water, then use it to cleanse her lower half.”
Lin Chunyan’s face flushed red right away. Like a thief, she took it and hid it.
Then they started to cook dinner. While doing so, Lu Jiao got Lin Chunyan a cup of water and snuck in some spiritual stream water. Lin Chunyan drank it.
After dinner was done, Lin Chunyan went home.
She refused to stay for dinner so all Lu Jiao could do was walk her out to the gate. She cautioned, “Stop doing work for me. Your body isn’t the strongest and you need time to rest.”
Lin Chunyan didn’t respond and walked home. Lu Jiao went to the kitchen to get porridge for the four little ones. Before she got there, she heard angry yelling from the east bedroom.
“My daddy doesn’t need you to feed him. My mommy can feed him.”
“Get out of here.” 𝑓𝔯𝑒e𝘸e𝘣𝓷𝘰ѵe𝚕.c૦𝙢
“You are not allowed to come into my daddy’s room.”
“If you dare to come in here again, we will call you shameless!”
Lu Jiao knew right away that Zhao Xiaotao managed to sneak into the east bedroom while Lu Jiao walked Lin Chunyan out.
Lu Jiao didn’t plan to interact with that woman. If she wanted to try to seduce Xie Yunjin, she could go ahead. As long as Xie Yunjin’s eyes still worked, he wouldn’t acknowledge that woman.
However, Lu Jiao remembered the deal she made with Xie Yunjin. He would write her prescriptions and she would stop Zhou Xiaotao from harassing him.
Her face clouded and she leaped towards the east bedroom.
Inside the room, Zhou Xiaotao was shocked that the four children would block her way and curse at her.
She was furious and silently cursed back. These four bastards were so damn annoying. Once she marries their dad, she will teach them all a lesson. They must learn the consequences of offending her.
Though angry on the inside, she showed sadness on her face as she stared at the quadruplets, “Your daddy is hungry. I need to feed him. How will he heal if he doesn’t eat?”
She then ignored the four and looked to Xie Yunjin, “Cousin, look at them!”
Xie Yunjin arrogantly glimpsed at Zhou Xiaotao, “Have you ever looked in a mirror?”
Zou Xiaotao didn’t get the message. Shyly, she nodded, “Elder cousin, I have looked in a mirror.”
Xie Yunjin snorted, “You have? Then you must know how ugly you look. Do you think I would like a woman who has no skills and is this ugly? You aren’t good enough to even carry my shoes. Got it?”
Zhou Xiaotao’s brain buzzed. What did she just hear? What did her cousin just say to her?
All the color drained from her face.
Lu Jiao entered and grabbed Zhou Xiaotao by her collar and started to drag her outside, “Zhou Xiaotao, you are not permitted to enter this bedroom. Try and see what will happen to you if you do this again. I will beat you up every time you do this. Do you believe me?”
Just then, the four little ones chimed in.
“Don’t you even think about being my daddy’s concubine. He would never take someone as ugly as you!”
“Don’t you even think about having babies with my daddy.”
“We don’t allow him to have children with other people.”
“We will keep our eyes on you!”
