In the yard
When Wen Huaian saw the large, clean ceramic jar carried by the servant, his eyebrows jumped and he suddenly had a bad feeling.
"This big vat?"
"It's for making medicine for you." Tang Cheng said as he directed the servant to place the large vat on the stone stove.
Wen Huaian paused, and the bad premonition in his heart became stronger.
"Why not a bathtub?"
Tang Cheng looked at him in confusion. "Don't you want to finish the potion quickly? I asked someone to get a big vat. I'll add some fire to heat it up while you're soaking the potion to help you absorb it faster. Don't worry, it'll only take a stick of incense. It'll be quick."
When Marquis Nanyang heard what his baby said, he silently sympathized with his son-in-law for a while, then walked back to the hall to have dinner in a very happy mood.
He left behind a trusted servant named Jia to serve Wen Huaian.
He felt that his appetite was now good enough to eat five large bowls of white rice.
Wen Huaian: “…”
"I think a bathtub is better."
Wen Huaian's scalp tingled when he thought about himself taking a medicinal bath in a large vat while others were adding wood and fuel to the fire, making him feel like a pot of meat waiting to be cooked.
Tang Cheng frowned and made a decision: "I'm going to take a nap later, so let's use the big jar. Everything is ready."
"I can take the potion back home and soak it." Wen Huaian immediately said.
Tang Cheng looked at Wen Huaian sharply, his beautiful almond-shaped eyes full of distrust.
"No, just soak here and don't try to take advantage of any loopholes."
Wen Huaian: “…”
Madam Cao and Madam Gao: "..."
The four maids: "..."
The old doctor who continued to be invisible: "… "
"Miss Fourth, please let me do the firework later. I'm good at it." Madam Cao coughed lightly and recommended herself.
Tang Cheng glanced at Madam Cao. He knew exactly what she was thinking and said indifferently, "Okay."
The servants were very fast and were ready in a moment. They left with silent sympathy for Master Wen. At this time, the entire backyard of the courtyard was full of their own people. Tang Cheng looked straight at Wen Huaian and urged him.
"Go in quickly."
Wen Huaian paused, then took off his brocade robe and shirt with the help of Servant A.
Everyone else in the yard avoided him, but Tang Cheng opened his almond-shaped eyes wide and blatantly looked Wen Huaian up and down several times.
Wen Huaian felt Tang Cheng's following gaze, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he quickly entered the large ceramic vat filled with hot water.
"Madam Cao, go and light the fire." Tang Cheng withdrew his gaze with regret and shouted.
Matron Cao hurried over and squatted in front of the stove and skillfully lit the fire. Soon the firewood was burning.
Tang Cheng slowly walked over with Pearl and Amber and praised with satisfaction.
"Yes, you are really good at making fire!"
Aunt Cao: “…”
Wen Huaian in the big vat: "…"
"Wen Huaian, tell me how you feel later. This is very important because I will also have to make potions later. For the sake of the baby in your belly, you, as a father, should also contribute."
Tang Cheng stood in front of Wen Huaian, patted his shoulder with her slender, white hand, and said with a smile.
Wen Huaian's handsome face suddenly tensed up, and he was so shocked that he almost jumped out of the vat.
"You want to make a potion?"
"Yes, this strengthening potion was originally for my own use. I am a very protective person. Apart from my father, only you, the father of this child, can enjoy this benefit. Others do not have that treatment. Are you touched?"
Are you touched
Wen Huaian didn't dare to be moved at all when he was about to be boiled in public.
"You're so moved you're speechless, right?"
Tang Cheng patted Wen Huaian's shoulder again, smiling and misinterpreting his silence.
Wen Huaian: “…”
Why on earth did he stay and be tormented by Tang Cheng? Wen Huaian suddenly wondered if his brain was fuzzy. Why did he become unlike himself after meeting Tang Cheng
After all, the incident with Tang Cheng was just an accident. Wen Huaian, who had been plotted against, was about to leave when he happened to meet Tang Cheng, who had drugged the Fourth Prince but was stupid enough to be tricked by her own maid. He rarely had the kindness to rescue her from a lustful and frivolous playboy, but he was entangled by the drugged and unconscious Tang Cheng.
The two of them had sex several times in the nearest wing.
What followed was the scene of being caught cheating. Later, Tang Cheng became pregnant, and he and Tang Cheng got married.
Wen Huaian has complicated feelings towards the child in Tang Cheng's belly. This may be the only child in his life. It would be a lie to say that he doesn't care. A few days ago, Tang Cheng wanted to abort the child. He seemed indifferent on the surface, but no one knew how angry and sad he was in his heart.
Pearl and Amber: "…"
Madam Cao continued to lower her head and make a fire.
"Don't worry, I won't joke about the baby in my belly. The properties of the strengthening potion are very mild. Using the strengthening potion is extremely beneficial to pregnant women. It can help them give birth to healthy babies safely and smoothly."
Tang Cheng was quite satisfied with Wen Huaian, the child's father. He rarely spoke to explain and turned around to give instructions to Zhenzhu.
"Zhenzhu, go get me some pen, ink, paper, and inkstone. I'm going to take notes later."
Pearl took the order and left.
Wen Huaian looked at the old doctor of Jihetang who was acting as an invisible man, and the old doctor nodded to Wen Huaian.
"Miss Fourth Tang is right. The medicinal properties of this medicine are mild. As long as the dosage is appropriate, the Marquis's condition will not occur."
The old doctor is very concerned about strengthening medicines.
Tang Cheng did not keep the prescription secret, and the old doctor certainly knew it clearly.
Wen Huaian felt a little relieved after hearing this.
After a while, Zhenzhu came over with paper and pen, and also prepared a table and chairs, which was quite thoughtful.
Tang Cheng began to do the experiment, adding black strengthening medicine into the large vat according to his own estimated amount.
The old doctor was also observing.
Madam Cao is indeed an expert at making fire. She controls the temperature very well. The water temperature in the large vat is neither too high nor too low, ensuring that Wen Huaian will not be scalded.
Wen Huaian soon felt the effect of the strengthening potion. It seemed that something had penetrated into his limbs and bones, making him feel tingling and very comfortable.
"I didn't lie to you, did I? Is it very comfortable?" Tang Cheng, sitting on the chair, supported his chin, his beautiful almond eyes full of pride.
Wen Huaian suppressed the shock and disbelief in his heart and told the truth: "It is indeed very comfortable." Then he described his feelings in detail.
Tang Cheng was taking notes seriously.
The two were very close to each other, and Wen Huaian easily saw the words written by Tang Cheng. The crooked words made Wen Huaian's mouth twitch, and his eyes inadvertently fell on Tang Cheng's beautiful and delicate face. Tang Cheng, who lowered her head and took notes seriously, looked beautiful and elegant, giving people a peaceful and beautiful feeling. Wen Huaian was distracted.
“Ahem!”
A light cough interrupted Wen Huaian's gaze.
He woke up suddenly, and when he met the half-smile of his future father-in-law, his handsome face froze slightly, and a bad feeling suddenly arose in his heart.
