Seeing that the two children had already started their practice, Shen Zhu turned around and went into the kitchen to make breakfast. When breakfast was served, the two children followed Su Zongwen and finished their practice.

After breakfast, Su Zongwen went back to work, while Zi Yi and Jingshu did not even have the strength to go out and play. They had been squatting in their horse stance for a long time, both of them were exhausted.

Thus, for the whole morning, the two children stayed inside the house to play with Ruanruan.

When noon arrived, the two children were already sleepy. Seeing that, Shen Zhu also took Ruanruan to rest.

Shen Zhu leaned on the bedside as he flipped through the books he had exchanged from the Cloud Pavilion, thinking to himself: Ming Yuchen's body has suffered from so many years of illness, and needs to be replenished bit by bit. If there was any medicine that can strengthen his body, his body might become much stronger.

With this thought, she found an opening and entered the space. There were many medical books in the pill cultivating room. She had to go find them and see if there was such a medicine.

After flipping through four to five books of medical techniques, Shen Zhu actually found a method to refine a pill called the Origin Nurturing Pill. According to the books, the effect of the Origin Nurturing Pill was to increase one's vitality and strengthen the body.

After looking through it, Shen Zhu satisfyingly combined his medical skills and exchanged it for Abou's ingredients. He then immediately refined this pill, since it was suitable for men and women of all ages, then she would refine some more. When the time came, she would add it to her family's meals, allowing Su Zongwen and the children to repair their injuries.

Besides, she had been working a little too hard in this period of time, so it was a good opportunity for her to make up for it.

After Shen Zhu finished concocting the Vitality Replenishing Pill, he came out of his spatial space and kept the pill in the bottle. He was in a good mood as he slept with Ruanruan.

Ming Yuchen's body improved day by day. Now that the weather was warm, he no longer holed himself in the courtyard. From time to time, he would walk on the manor and occasionally walk on the streets.

That afternoon, Ming Yuchen saw that the weather wasn't bad, so he brought Yue'er out for a walk. After walking for a while, they arrived at Shen Zhu's courtyard.

It was precisely when the sun was setting in the west that Ming Yuchen saw from afar the large and small figures of three people at Shen Zhu's doorstep, yelling the slogan "One, two, two, two". Martial arts practice?

"Big Brother Su."

Ming Yuchen kept the surprise on his face and walked towards the three of them.

"Chen'er." Su Zongwen was in the middle of a horse stance with the two children, and stopped in his tracks when he saw people coming over.

"Big Brother Yuchun." Zi Yi and Jingshu sweetly shouted towards Ming Yuchen.

After getting along for a few days, the relationship between Ming Yuchen and his family had grown a lot closer. He was already used to calling Su Zongwen Big Brother Su, while Shen Zhu called him Big Sister Shen, and the two children affectionately called him Big Brother Yuchun. Although their seniority was a little messy, but the few people involved did not care about it, so he might as well continue to be wrong.

"Chen'er, it's getting late, why are you here at this time?"

Shen Zhu wanted to tell Su Zongwen and the other two to rest, but he didn't expect to see Ming Yuchen the moment he came out.

She and Su Zongwen had initially called him Young Mistress politely at first, but Ming Yuchen later on felt that calling them that was too distant, forcing them to call them Chen'er. Over time, the two of them had gotten used to it.

"Elder sister Shen, I saw that the weather was just right for today, so I started walking around. After walking for a while, I came to your courtyard." When Ming Yuchen saw Shen Zhu, he was originally about to ask Su Zongwen a question, but then he swallowed his words and laughed, "Sister Shen's hot pot made during New Year's Eve was so unique that I couldn't forget it.

"You haven't fully recovered yet, so you can't eat spicy food. However, if you want to eat, I can make a Clear Broth Pot." Shen Zhu thought for a moment, but still did not have the heart to reject.

Ming Yuchen was still young, and adding on the fact that he had been seriously ill in the past few years, he was extremely thin, slightly shorter than an ordinary thirteen or fourteen children. Adding to that, Shen Zhu was a mother.

"Big sister Shen treats me the best. Then, I'll just stay in your yard for a meal today. Don't despise me." Ming Yuchen's expression became happy and immediately replied.

"Then you chat with Brother Wen and the others first, I'll go prepare dinner."

Shen Zhu rarely saw Ming Yuchen's childish side, so he felt more gratified than before.

After all these years, Ming Yuchen was alone in this Villa. What he lacked throughout his childhood was not only maternal love, but kinship as well. Even if he wanted to act coquettishly, he couldn't find anyone to do so for him.

Seeing Shen Zhu enter, Ming Yuchen then looked at the two children in horse stance.

Then, he looked at Su Zongwen, and asked something he hadn't had the time to ask, "Brother Su, are you teaching Yi'er and Shuer martial arts? Your martial arts are so good, can you teach me too? "

Su Zongwen did not hesitate and nodded his head, then said: "Cultivating martial arts can strengthen the body, learning it is also good."

"Thank you, Brother Su!" Seeing that Su Zongwen had agreed, Ming Yuchen immediately thanked him happily.

However, he felt like crying the next second.

Not long after, Ming Yuchen's calves and stomach started to tremble, and both of his arms were extremely sore. Song Ziyi and Song Jingshu naturally felt the same way, but as a teacher, Su Zongwen was extremely strict.

The fiery red sunset shone into the courtyard, causing the four people in the horse stance to let out a few long shadows. Among the four, other than Su Zongwen who was riding a horse stance that was as steady as Mt.

Ming Yuchen and the two children seemed to already be able to see their miserable futures.

He comforted himself in his heart: This bit of suffering is nothing. There is a saying in the book that the blade of a treasured sword will be sharpened, and the plum blossom fragrance will come from the bitter cold.

At the Beijing residence.

After rushing around day and night for a few days, Meier finally returned to the Duke Palace. When the carriage heard the door to the Duke Palace, it was already the middle of the afternoon.

"Aunt, we're here." Xiao Li got off the carriage first, then opened the carriage's curtain and respectfully invited Meier to get off.

Meier held her hand, and got off the carriage with a pale face.

She had been doted on by her family, and after all these years of living a wonderful life, her body had grown tender and delicate. Furthermore, the carriage she had hired this time couldn't be considered very good.

When Meier returned, there was a servant helping her take off the luggage on the carriage and send it to her courtyard.

She took a deep breath of fresh air, and her face finally looked a little better.

"Let's go to the main courtyard now."

Meier stood at the entrance of the palace and looked at the signboard hanging high up in the sky.

"Yes, Aunt."
