In this way, no matter how hard it was, there would be a hint of sweetness in her heart.

“Xiaolu…”

Su Xiaoling listened to Su Xiaolu’s innocent promise and felt her heart being touched. She instantly choked up.

“Thank you.”

Su Xiaoling sobbed. She should be the one protecting Su Xiaolu.

Su Xiaolu leaned against Su Xiaoling’s head and smiled. “You’re welcome. I’m your sister.”

The money earned from this scar removal medicine would be the money she would give to Su Xiaoling.

Su Xiaoling was so touched that she cried. Su Xiaolu felt a little uncomfortable. She thought that she must have been affected by staying with the old man for too long.

Su Xiaolu yawned and said, “Sister, I’m so sleepy. I’m going to sleep. Good night.”

Su Xiaolu closed her eyes and stopped talking.

After a while, she entered the Space to pack the herbs.

Su Xiaoling cried silently for a long time. In the darkness, she cried and laughed. It took her a long time to calm down. She gently pinched Su Xiaolu’s face and kissed her cheek. After whispering, “Sweet dreams,” she closed her eyes and slept.

Early the next morning, the family ate breakfast and went into town again together.

Su Xiaolu did not need to memorize herbs. She ran very quickly.

After entering the town, Su Xiaolu and Old Wu went to Sun residence together. Su Sanlang and Madam Zhao brought them to open the shop while Su Chong and Su Hua went to school.

Su Xiaolu returned to the courtyard of the Sun residence. After packing up, she went to look for Sun Baoshan and Sun Baoqian. In the past half a year, Sun Baoshan and Sun Baoqian had recovered very well and were no longer skin and bones.

Recently, Su Xiaolu had been teaching them Tai Chi.

They couldn’t do activities that were too strenuous, but if their bodies were weak, they needed exercise. Tai Chi was a slow but very physical activity.

She also followed suit and practiced the horse stance every day.

Old Wu had begun to exercise her body.

The old man said that it was impossible for a medical practitioner to travel the world without some martial arts. When she built a foundation, he would bring her to learn martial arts from a master.

Su Xiaolu even had fantasies about the realm of powerful martial arts and unimaginable skills.

Hence, when she saw that Sun Baoqian and Sun Baoshan’s legs were trembling, Su Xiaolu said, “Brother Baoshan, Sister Baoqian, hang in there. This way, we can practice martial arts together in the future.”

Madam Lian’s heart ached as she watched from the side. She wanted to speak several times, but in the end, she endured it.

If it were half a year ago, who would dare to torture Sun Baoshan and Sun Baoqian like this?

In just a few months, the two siblings looked better. Their hair wasn’t dull anymore, and they could exercise now. It was good to suffer a little now.

They had clearly been through a lot, but the two children had not coughed again in the past few months.

Madam Lian sighed, turned, and went out.

Her heart ached for them. She decided not to watch them.

Madam Lian returned to the main courtyard. Sun Ziqian was checking the accounts. Seeing her like this, he couldn’t help but smile and say, “Madam, Xiaolu brought Qian and Shan to practice Tai Chi again?”

Madam Lian nodded. “Yes, I know that’s good. It’s just that when I saw Qian and Shan’s legs trembling, my heart ached. I thought that I shouldn’t look at them.”

Sun Ziqian smiled and agreed. “That’s right, it’s best if we don’t look. We just have to believe that with the divine doctor and his disciple around, our children will improve day by day.”

Now, neither of them needed acupuncture anymore. The poison in their bodies had been cleared.

Madam Lian was still taking pills to nourish her body. Sun Baoshan and Sun Baoqian were still getting acupuncture every three days.

Sun Ziqian got up and helped Madam Lian to the table. He sighed and said, “Madam, I also have a problem that I don’t know what to do.”

Madam Lian’s expression was solemn. “Is it about Teacher Lin?”

Sun Tzu nodded humbly. “It’s him. Shan and Qian are also indebted to him. Now that they’re in good health, they can’t hide it from Teacher Lin. Teacher Lin has already deliberately asked me a few times which doctor I found and if I can ask them to treat his daughter.”

Sun Baoshan and Sun Baoqian’s bodies were gradually getting better, like the trees that had just sprouted. They were growing stronger day by day, and their bodies were full of vitality. Anyone who knew about their situation could tell when they saw them.

As a teacher who often searched for knowledge, Lin Pingsheng naturally noticed it.

He had asked around a few times, but Sun Ziqian had vaguely summarized it. He had also clearly said that it was not convenient to reveal it.

But Lin Pingsheng did not give up.

Thinking of this, Madam Lian sighed and said, “The doctor said that we are not allowed to tell anyone. No matter what, we can’t tell anyone.”

Sun Ziqian sighed. “I understand. I will not relent.”

He was soft-hearted because Lin Pingsheng was so eager to seek treatment for his child.

He had also done the same for his children. As long as there was a chance, he would not let it go.

Perhaps when Sun Baoshan and Sun Baoqian were completely healed, he would tell Lin Pingsheng how they were cured, but for now, he would not.

Su Xiaolu brought Sun Baoshan and Sun Baoqian to practice for half an hour. When the two siblings were sweating profusely, she asked them to stop.

Su Xiaolu said, “Alright, let’s continue tomorrow. You guys take a good bath and take a nap.”

After sweating profusely, taking a bath to soothe themselves, and then taking a nap, it was more than comfortable.

Sun Baoshan and Sun Baoqian nodded. They didn’t even want to move.

As soon as Su Xiaolu left, the maidservants hurried over to serve the siblings.

Even the bath was a medicinal bath.

Su Xiaolu returned to the courtyard and was pulled away by Old Wu to test her homework.

Su Xiaolu answered or asked questions seriously.

The questions that Old Wu asked now were practically not difficult for her.

She handed in the answer perfectly again and didn’t ask any more questions.

Su Xiaolu waited for a while and asked, “Master, is the test over today?”

Why were there fewer tests these two days?

Old Wu glanced at Su Xiaolu. Seeing the little girl’s mischievous look, Old Wu couldn’t help but knock the little girl’s head and say, “Stupid girl, your eyes are darting around. What bad idea are you thinking of?”

Su Xiaolu blinked and looked at Old Wu. “Master, are you going to let me graduate?”

Old Wu glanced at her coldly. “What nonsense.”

Old Wu turned around and said angrily, “Make your medicine properly. I’m going to sleep.”

The little girl was really smart. He didn’t show his thoughts, but she seemed to have guessed a little.

However, she was still a child. How could she guess the thoughts of an old man like him?

Initially, Su Xiaolu had her doubts, but in the following period of time, her homework increased every day. She even had to make drugs and poison and take the tests by surprise.

Su Xiaolu immediately regretted it. She was thinking too much.

Although she was tired, she was still able to give a perfect answer every time. She knew the medical books and poison books by heart.

So when summer passed, the baby fat on Su Xiaolu’s face would be gone. Because she was always busy, she would not have time to make the scar removal medicine.

Old Wu left on the first of July. He only left a letter for Su Xiaolu before leaving quietly.

Su Xiaolu woke up in the afternoon and saw the letter. She cried as she read it. She was sad and happy at the same time. When the servants from Sun residence came to deliver snacks, Su Xiaolu wiped her tears and said calmly, “You don’t have to send two servings in the future. My master has left. I can’t finish so many alone.”
