“This is not candy, this is the Clear Heart Eight Treasures Pill, an exceptionally rare Chinese medicine,” concluded Mr.
Bai.
“Clear Heart Eight Treasures Pill?”
“Yes, it’s a secret nourishing formula from the past courts, not passed down to outsiders.
This medicine can dispel cold and replenish qi and is temperate in nature.
It is sweet and refreshing to taste.
It is said to have been developed during the reign of Emperor Xianzong of Ming, because the beloved Concubine Wan disliked bitter medicine and needed nourishment due to old age and frailty.
The Imperial Medical Bureau then painstakingly came up with this recipe.
At that time, it was a court secret recipe, and up to this day, very few people know of it.
Even fewer are able to concoct it,” Mr.
Bai continued.
Mr.
Bai went on, “This medicine uses precious ingredients.
The ‘eight treasures’ refer to eight kinds of rare and valuable Chinese herbs.
If we talk about medicinal value alone, each pill is worth ten to twenty thousand.
However, this medicine is priceless; no one sells it, and those who wish to buy it cannot find it, even if they have the money.”
With these words, Mr.
Bai could not help but sigh and said, “The Qin family elders truly dote on their young daughter, giving her such precious medicine to eat as if it were candy.”
After finishing, Mr.
Bai returned the medicine to Lu Zhanyu: “Young master, you should take this medicine.
Although it won’t be of much help for your illness, it is absolutely beneficial and harmless to your body.
Your limited mobility inevitably makes your body weaker than others.
This will be perfect for nourishing your frailty and is more effective than the prescriptions I’ve written for you.”
Lu Zhanyu looked at the spherical candy in his hand.
It wasn’t Mr.
Bai’s words that he was thinking about, but the sweet smile and clear eyes that Susu had when she gave him the candy.
Once again, he placed the “candy” into his mouth, and the sweetness lingered just the same. fɾēewebnσveℓ.com

In the evening, the Qin family and their guests gathered in the dining room for dinner.
These guests included Huo Ting and Qin Luoyun.
Today, the Qin family was having a Western meal.
Qin Luoyun looked at the various small, but exquisite, dishes arranged on her plate.
She was somewhat at a loss as to how she should start eating.
By the time she was born, her family had already squandered their wealth.
As a result, she had never tasted these delicate foods until she was four years old, and was used to the homemade dishes prepared by her grandmother.
She had never eaten luxury items like sea cucumber, abalone, or black truffle.
Similarly, she had never tried a Western meal with its numerous courses; seeing them, she would not know where to begin.
Huo Ting, on the other hand, was quite picky.
With a plate of food in front of him, he meticulously picked out more than half of it.
Even for the portion he didn’t set aside, he ate reluctantly, taking small, occasional bites.
Butler Liu, who stood behind him, had grown accustomed to his young master’s eating habits.
Ever since his young master was a child, feeding him had been a challenge; it often took over a dozen people just to get one meal into him.
The situation with Susu was starkly different.
She ate her meals quietly, maintaining total focus as she devoured her food without uttering a word.
And regardless of what was on the plate, she finished it all.
She wasn’t fussy about vegetables or meat.
In no time, she had polished off everything in front of her.
After finishing, Susu picked up a napkin to wipe her mouth, which had become smeckled like a kitten’s, thus perfectly completing her meal for the day.
Seeing this, the elderly Mrs.
Qin praised her, “My good girl is so well-behaved!
You’ve finished everything again today!
And all the carrots too!
Brilliant!”
Susu nodded, “Yep!
I’m really good!
I don’t fuss over food, I eat everything, and I grow tall!
I want to grow up fast to protect Mom and Dad!
To grow tall, I can’t be picky about food!”
“Are you still hungry, do you want a little more?” asked Mrs.
Qin.
Lowering her head to look at her round little belly, Susu touched it and said, “I’m full today, can’t fit anything more.”
