Chapter 62: Chapter 62
Bai Susu looked toward Chuntao at this moment and said, "Chuntao, go tell Grandpa that whether I can learn all of Doctor Ming’s skills depends on whether he’s willing to part with his wine."
As soon as she said this, Chuntao immediately covered her mouth and laughed, "Miss, you’re so bad! Aren’t you afraid the Prime Minister will beat you later?"
Using the Prime Minister’s treasured wine as a favor, he might just explode with anger if he finds out, right?
Bai Susu listened and replied innocently, "Grandpa wouldn’t bear to."
With that, she returned to her study and buried herself in sorting out previous questions, going over them again to deepen her understanding.
Meanwhile, Prime Minister Bai had indeed just returned from the palace.
Once he arrived home, he received a "bad news."
Susu actually wants to use his exquisite wine to entertain guests! ɪꜰ ʏᴏᴜ ᴡᴀɴᴛ ᴛᴏ ʀᴇᴀᴅ ᴍᴏʀᴇ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs, ᴘʟᴇᴀsᴇ ᴠɪsɪᴛ Nove1Fire.net
What’s more, that person is Doctor Ming.
Prime Minister Bai knows Doctor Ming’s drinking capacity very well; not a single bottle of carved wine, but even ten bottles wouldn’t be enough for that guy to down.
For a moment, Prime Minister Bai just wanted to turn around and leave, pretending he wasn’t home tonight.
But just then, Chuntao came over with a smile, "Prime Minister, Miss said that whether Doctor Ming is willing to teach her will depend entirely on your performance tonight."
Hearing this, Prime Minister Bai froze and then looked at the housekeeper.
The housekeeper quickly recounted the afternoon when Doctor Ming came to teach Bai Susu medicine.
Prime Minister Bai was extremely surprised after hearing it.
"When did Susu become interested in learning medicine?"
Chuntao replied, "Just a few days ago, Miss finished reading all the books in the study and had nothing left to read, so she simply started reading medical books. But who would’ve thought she’d get hooked on them."
"The Crown Prince somehow found out, and then had Doctor Ming come over to teach her."
Prime Minister Bai: ...
I don’t even know what to say.
But no matter the reason, learning medicine is ultimately a good thing.
Whether for self-rescue or avoiding some palace intrigues, it’s useful.
So he nodded and said, "I understand. I’ll go change clothes, and you all can entertain Doctor Ming first."
"Yes, Prime Minister."
When Prime Minister Bai changed into casual clothes and went to the front hall to find Doctor Ming, Doctor Ming saw him and spoke meaningfully, "Prime Minister Bai, your granddaughter is quite remarkable."
Hearing this, Prime Minister Bai raised an eyebrow, "What does Doctor Ming mean by this?"
"You’re still pretending? We all know how much the Crown Prince dislikes women, yet he actually personally asked me to come and teach your granddaughter medicine."
Suffice it to say that, at least outwardly, the Crown Prince bestowed great honor upon the Bai Mansion.
After hearing this, Prime Minister Bai sneered lightly, "Are you sure it was the Crown Prince who asked you? Aren’t you afraid this word will reach his ears?"
There you go with your big mouth!
Just wait and see how I drink up all your good wine later!
At this time, Bai Susu was also ready to have her meal.
Just after sitting down, Shu Kuang came over.
However, his expression didn’t look very good, somewhat foul, in fact.
For a moment, Bai Susu couldn’t help but softly ask, "Shu Kuang, are you here? Have you had dinner yet?"
In her heart, she couldn’t help but ponder: why did he come so early today?
It’s not even dark yet!
Wasn’t he supposed to be very busy these days?
Upon hearing her words, Feng Qiwu shook his head, "I haven’t had my meal yet."
"Then why not sit down and eat together? Nuansha, bring another set of utensils." Bai Susu ordered.
Though Nuansha had already been psychologically prepared by Chuntao last night, knowing that Feng Qiwu would sneak into Miss’s boudoir to sleep together at night and all.
However, seeing it firsthand was still quite shocking.
Fortunately, she quickly regained composure and nodded promptly, "Yes, Miss."
As Feng Qiwu unceremoniously took a seat at that moment.
After he sat beside her, Bai Susu observed his handsome face closely.
Then she asked very concernedly, "Shu Kuang, did you not rest well last night? How does your complexion look so bad? No matter how busy you are, you must take care of your body, or I’ll feel sad."
Hearing this, Feng Qiwu’s complexion stiffened.
Even his molars were grinding quietly.
But some words weren’t convenient to mention in front of her.
After all, his current state was due to indulging in some self-destructive habits, which resulted in his current lack of energy and pale complexion.
If Susu knew, what would she think?
Where would he put his face then?
So Feng Qiwu quickly composed himself and said to her gently, "Hmm, it’ll be better after this busy period."
"It’s good that you know. Health is the most important thing."
"Chuntao, go and add a few more dishes." Bai Susu then instructed Chuntao.
Chuntao listened and immediately nodded, "Yes, Miss."
Once the two maids had left, only the two of them remained in the room.
Only then did Bai Susu speak to Feng Qiwu, "Doctor Ming came today, and I greatly benefited from him. Shu Kuang, thank you. It’s all thanks to you that I could receive his guidance."
She knew that it was because Feng Qiwu cared about her that he acted so swiftly.
Upon hearing Bai Susu’s words, Feng Qiwu let out a sigh of relief and then asked, "Did he teach you well?"
Bai Susu quickly nodded, "Yes, all my questions were answered by him."
"At least he knows what’s good for him!" Feng Qiwu snorted lightly.
If someone he personally invited dared to deal casually with Susu, he would definitely not let it go.
Just then, Nuansha came over with new utensils, holding her breath so much that she dared not make a sound as she placed them in front of Feng Qiwu.
Seeing this, Bai Susu helplessly said, "No need for you to attend here, Nuansha, go and help Chuntao."
Upon hearing this, Nuansha secretly let out a sigh of relief, nodded quickly, and responded.
She quickly left the room afterward.
After Nuansha left, Bai Susu naturally picked up her chopsticks and started serving dishes to Feng Qiwu.
"Hurry and eat, don’t starve yourself." Bai Susu said, nagging.
Seeing this, Feng Qiwu’s eyes widened slightly, somewhat dazed.
He remembered that every time he went out to handle matters with Li Cang and came back late, Aunt Zhang would tirelessly cook various nourishing soups for his body, just fearing that he would be too exhausted.
Now this kind of rich dietary care typical of old couples was finally happening to him?
For a moment, Feng Qiwu couldn’t help but look toward Bai Susu.
Only to see her chattering away while piling his bowl into a small mountain.
No one had ever placed food for him , piling up his bowl to this extent.
But for some reason, this pile of food shaped like a small mountain looked especially tempting.
And after Bai Susu had piled Feng Qiwu’s bowl to the brim, she quickly looked at him, "Eat now, it won’t taste good when it’s cold."
Upon hearing this, Feng Qiwu couldn’t help but curl his lips in a slight smile and nodded, "Hmm!"
Then he picked up the overloaded bowl, as if it was a precious treasure, and slowly picked up his chopsticks to start eating.
Watching him, Bai Susu couldn’t help but sigh.
Some people do everything with such grace.
Why does Feng Qiwu look so pleasing even when eating?
Even though his bowl had already been piled so high by her.
But it seemed to have no impact on his elegant noble image.
