The Substitute Madam Amazes the World Once More

Chapter 382: Conversation at the Table

After saying this, Old Master Huo seemed to have thought of something and paused for a few seconds before adding, “By the way, speaking of this, I remember something. Xiao Zhu, I heard from the Lu family’s grandson that you promised to treat the old master and you also promised to not accept the consultation fee?”

When Mo Zhu heard this, she raised her eyebrows and looked straight at Old Master Huo. She asked softly, “Grandfather, did Lu Zheng tell you about this?”

Old Master Huo picked up the teacup on the dining table and took a sip. He moistened his throat and replied, “I guess so. The two of them went to Cloud City. I’m not feeling well, and it’s not convenient for me to go far away to visit them. I suddenly remembered this this morning and called that kid to ask about the situation. That’s when I found out about it.”

Mo Zhu nodded and continued as she picked up food without batting an eyelid, “Yes, Grandpa, that’s right. Old Master Lu’s condition is very special. In addition, he’s old and it’s quite difficult to treat him. Therefore, I’ve given Lu Zheng some nourishing pills for the time being and asked him to give Old Master Lu pills on time to increase his immunity. After I return to Cloud City after the competition, I will officially treat Old Master Lu.”

Mo Zhu lowered her eyes and gently fiddled with the vegetables on the plate with her chopsticks. She recalled that she had promised Lu Zheng that she would treat him and Old Master Lu together. She frowned slightly when no one was paying attention. The poison in these two people’s bodies was equally poisonous. It was indeed a little tricky to treat.

In any case, she would only return to Cloud City in a few days. There had been so many strange things happening in Beijing recently, so Mo Zhu decided not to think about this anymore. She shook her head and temporarily forgot about the two people from the Lu family. She picked up a small meatball and stuffed it into her mouth, starting to chew it slowly.

Seeing Mo Zhu eat happily, Huo Xuan also picked up a small meatball with interest and tasted it.

Old Master Huo watched the little interaction between the two of them and couldn’t stop smiling. “There’s no hurry, there’s no hurry. Xiao Zhu, you and Xuan’er should live your lives well. As long as his life isn’t in danger, you can go and treat him anytime!”

When Chen Man saw this, she was also very happy. Seeing that Mo Zhu seemed to like the little meatballs she had made, Chen Man picked up a few more and placed them on the girl’s plate. She smiled and said, “If you like them, eat more. Xiao Zhu, look at how thin you are. The training has been so tiring recently and you have so many worries. You have to take this opportunity to nourish yourself!”

Mo Zhu obediently replied simply before taking her chopsticks and putting food into her mouth. Seeing that the girl was eating so happily, Huo Xuan looked up at Chen Man and said, “Mom, I usually don’t think that the food you cook is any top-notch delicacy. Why does Xiao Zhu like it so much now? Could it be that you used to cook for us perfunctorily before you were willing to reveal your true strength when Xiao Zhu came?”

Chen Man was amused by Huo Xuan’s words. She raised her hand to cover her mouth and coughed twice. She glanced at her son indifferently and said angrily, “What does my cooking have to do with it? It’s obvious that Xiao Zhu is giving me face. Why? It wasn’t easy for me to raise you. If you don’t praise me, are you not going to let my daughter-in-law tell the truth?”

After saying this, Chen Man saw Xu Huan, who was busy putting food into his bowl, from the corner of her eye. She raised her chin at Huo Xuan and pointed at Xu Huan’s location. She frowned slightly and said, “Look at Huan’er. He’s so sensible and obedient.”

Hearing Chen Man suddenly mention him, Xu Huan was confused. He looked up at them in a daze.

Seeing him look over, Huo Xuan glared at him coldly. Then, he raised his hand and picked up some vegetables for him and said indifferently, “It’s none of your business. Hurry up and eat!”
