Chapter 155: Cubilose

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

At that moment, Fang Yuan descended the staircase. Qiao Xinhui beamed at her daughter, “Yuanyuan, you’re here. Come and sit beside me.”

“Sister, this bowl of cubilosesoup is for you,” Cheng Yuqi said, personally serving a bowl for Fang Yuan before serving herself.

“Yuqi is so considerate and treats me so well,” Qiao Xinhui remarked, gazing affectionately at Fang Yuan. “Yuanyuan, please, enjoy it while it’s still hot.”

Fang Yuan took her seat, picked up her spoon, and scooped a mouthful of the soup. As she brought it to her mouth, she detected a familiar scent. Was that the aroma of hemp seed, a Chinese medicine used for constipation? There was also the scent of croton cream. Fang Yuan couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow. Was Cheng Yuqi attempting to give her an upset stomach?

Glancing up, Fang Yuan observed Cheng Yuqi and Auntie Wang surreptitiously sizing her up. When their eyes met, they hastily averted their gaze in panic.

Setting her spoon aside, Fang Yuan’s smile deepened. “You’re incredibly thoughtful. 1 suppose you’ve benefited greatly from Auntie Wang’s careful guidance. This bowl of cubilosesoup you’ve personally served would be better suited for Auntie Wang.”

Auntie Wang sensed that something was amiss. “Miss Fang Yuan, you’re too kind. I’m just a servant; how could 1 deserve such a delicacy?”

“Don’t say that; you certainly do,” Fang Yuan insisted. “We address you as ‘Auntie Wang’ with respect, not as a mere servant. Moreover, it’s just a bowl of cubilosesoup. Isn’t that right, Mom and Dad?”

Qiao Xinhui smiled and added, “Absolutely. Auntie Wang works diligently for us. It’s merely a bowl of cubilosesoup. Please, take a seat and enjoy it with us.”

“That’s right. Yuanyuan has the right idea. Please, go ahead and eat,” Cheng Ye concurred with a warm smile.

Auntie Wang hesitated to consume the soup. She swallowed nervously and offered a somewhat awkward smile. “Master, Madam, to be frank, I’ve been having some stomach discomfort lately… Allow Miss Fang Yuan to enjoy this bowl of cubilose soup first. Miss Fang Yuan, I’m truly grateful for your kindness…”

Fang Yuan responded, “cubilose soup is rich in protein, amino acids, and trace elements. It happens to enhance the mucosal repair capability of the stomach. If you’re experiencing stomach issues, you should definitely have some.”

When Fang Yuan made her statement, she didn’t wait for Auntie Wang’s rejection. Instead, she offered a warm smile and continued, “There are many nutritious ingredients in it. You should really give it a try, Auntie Wang.”

Auntie Wang couldn’t help but feel that the girl before her was quite cunning. She had clearly sensed the medicinal components and knew what was inside the soup.

“Auntie Wang, is it that you’re hesitant because you think the spoon 1 used might be dirty?” Fang Yuan replaced the spoon with a fresh one. Noting that Auntie Wang still hesitated, Fang Yuan lowered her gaze. “Or perhaps it’s because I’ve just returned home, and my words don’t carry much weight?” “Auntie Wang!” Cheng Ye intervened, not wanting his daughter to feel disheartened. He spoke hastily, “Yuanyuan sincerely wants you to have it. Please, enjoy it. It’s just a bowl of bird’s nest soup!”

“Don’t dwell on it, Yuanyuan. Your words certainly carry weight,” Qiao Xinhui added with empathy.

“It’s possible that I returned home too late,” Fang Yuan continued. “Everyone tends to listen to their elder sister… Even if they wish to offer her something nice, she might not appreciate it…”

With that remark, Cheng Ye and Qiao Xinhui both had a realization. The household staff had been with Cheng Yuqi for a significant period. Naturally, they had developed a strong bond with her. Fang Yuan must be feeling disappointed!

With this in mind, Qiao Xinhui silently resolved to bring in some new staff members. She couldn’t allow her beloved Yuanyuan to endure such hardships.

“Sister, could you please persuade Auntie Wang to eat? If she truly has no appetite, you could eat a bit more on her behalf. Auntie Wang might not heed my words, but you’re my sister. You’d listen to your sister, wouldn’t you?”

Upon hearing this, Cheng Yuqi’s face turned ashen, fearing that her plot might be exposed.

“I’ll eat it, Miss Fang Yuan,” Auntie Wang said with a resigned tone, realizing she had no choice but to eat. She trembled slightly as she picked up the fresh spoon.

Fang Yuan smiled and inquired, “How does it taste, Auntie Wang?”

Auntie Wang struggled to respond. After a few bites, she managed a forced smile and said, “It’s quite delicious.”

Fang Yuan remarked, “In that case, at least finish the one bowl.”

Auntie Wang responded gratefully, “Thank you for your kindness, Miss Fang Yuan. I’ll stick with just one bowl. I won’t be able to manage more.”

Fang Yuan persisted, “There are plenty of beneficial ingredients in there. You work diligently, so it’s only fitting that you pamper yourself a bit more.” “Thank you for your thoughtfulness, Miss Fang Yuan,” Auntie Wang replied, her emotions mixed. Once she finished the bird’s nest soup, she quickly found an excuse to leave.

Fang Yuan was well aware that while the combination of the two medicines wouldn’t lead to immediate discomfort, it would certainly catch up with Auntie Wang around half an hour later. The potency of the combined medicines was formidable, and even diosmectite would likely be of little help. Tonight, Auntie Wang would face some discomfort.

Fang Yuan raised her gaze to Cheng Yuqi, who promptly averted her eyes and accidentally knocked over the bird’s nest soup.

“Are you alright, Yuqi?” Qiao Xinhui inquired with concern.

A nearby servant rushed to assist Cheng Yuqi in cleaning up the spilled soup.

Cheng Yuqi replied absentmindedly, “I’m fine…”

“Yuanyuan, you’re truly kind-hearted. You’re still thinking of our household staff,” Cheng Ye commended with a chuckle. “But remember to take care of yourself as well. Don’t neglect your own well-being while caring for others..”
