Chapter 1144 Dinner Table Interlude

The eleven men of the Gu family, ranging from the oldest to the youngest, were staring at the two of them, feeling very uncomfortable.

Lie Jiuqing has been learning etiquette from Gu Qian since he was a child. He has a good sense of proportion and does not do anything out of the ordinary. There is no problem with the distance between the two.

But she had to feed Wen Rong and drink water even though she was so far away!

Wen Rong refused several times, but Lie Jiuqing would still look at him with a smile, and his beautiful peach blossom eyes seemed to glow.

Gu Mingde slowly put down the tea cup, waved his hand to the servant behind him and said, "Where is Master Xiao Rong's medicinal diet? Send it to him quickly, don't starve him."

Gu Zidu grinned.

Seeing this, Gu Anlan bumped into Gu Anqing and whispered: "Dad ordered people to replace the licorice with bitter chrysanthemum, but I saw the third brother secretly put a bag of bitter chrysanthemum into the pot. How terrible it tastes."

With Gu Qian here, everyone in the Gu family will learn some knowledge about medicinal herbs. Naturally, they know that the taste of bitter chrysanthemum and licorice are completely opposite. If they are cooked for a long time, one bite can be bitter to death, let alone a small bag.

Gu Anzi had a headache, "Brother Rong is so pitiful that he wants to drink such a damn thing."

He felt sick to his stomach just thinking about it.

Gu Anqing was a little disgusted, "What? It's just a pain at most. What's the use?"

Gu Mingde smiled like an old fox.

Ever since he was a child, Wen Rong had a bad habit of taking medicine. After a mouthful of stuffiness, he would eat candied fruits like crazy. Now he couldn't find it anymore.

This little guy has to eat and hold back!

The atmosphere at the dinner table was a bit strange. No one in the family was eating, they were all waiting for the medicinal meal.

When the medicated meal came up, Lie Jiuqing immediately smelled a strong bitter taste of herbs. It didn't look like a medicated meal, but like a concentrated decoction.

The moment Wen Rong put down the medicinal meal, the corners of her lips tightened.

Gu Mingde smiled and said: "Xiao Rong, try it. This is specially prepared for you. It is very good for your body. Drink it slowly."

Wen Rong stared blankly at the large bowl of medicinal food in front of him, and after a while he managed to speak, "Thank you, uncle."

"No thanks, I have nothing to thank you for, we are all one family."

Gu Mingde urged with a smile, "Try it quickly and see how it tastes."

Wen Rong hesitated for a moment, then slowly picked up the spoon and took a spoonful.

Lie Jiuqing quickly held his hand.

Wen Rong patted the back of her hand.The tacit understanding between the two seems to be worth a thousand words.

The dinner table became quieter.

Wen Rong took a sip and slowly took another sip.

After three sips, Wen Rong was about to drink when he suddenly coughed.

Lie Jiuqing followed his back, touched the cold sweat on his forehead, and said loudly: "Come here, go make a bowl of lychee syrup for Master Xiao Rong!"

Gu Tianya finally reacted at this time, "Give me some too."

Gu Zidu immediately said: "I want it too!"

Gu Anqing also said, "I want to drink too."

Gu Zhengren said quietly: "Please take a share."

The servants immediately went to prepare.

This was the first time for the Gu family to drink sugar water in the early morning. In the past, let alone sugar water, they didn't even eat a piece of dessert. This was strange.

While waiting for the sugar water, Lie Jiuqing gave Wen Rong a dose of anti-cold injections.

Gu Zhengren frowned and said to his servant: "Add carbon."

Except for Gu Qian and Gu Mingde who were wearing thicker clothes, everyone present was almost wearing single clothes. Only Wen Rong was wearing a heavy cloak in the room. Even so, his face was still as pale as paper.

Seeing this, Gu Qian sighed deeply.

Gu Mingde regretted it a little. Wen Rong's body was so weak that he couldn't bear even a bitter bite. From now on, he would have to hold back his anger.

At this moment, Gu Mingde took the initiative to urge, "Where's the sugar water? Is it ready yet?"

He kicked Gu Anqing, "Why are you stunned? Go and have a look!"

"..."

Gu Anqing's mouth twitched and he stood up resignedly.

Gu Qian's eyes were dim and unclear, and his hand under the table was clenched into a fist.

The child's body...
