Qiao Mu shot him an impatient glare. "Why are you so long-winded? I've already explained that your brother only needs to take the medicine I provided for a full recovery."
She couldn't fathom why he kept asking the same question, perhaps just searching for idle conversation.
The young lady began to feel as if her words were depleting her saliva. He was truly vexing her with his incessant inquiries. She reached for her tea, took a sip, and continued with a calm expression, "I've removed the messy medicinal powder from your brother's body, which shouldn't pose any long-term harm to him."
"However, his internal organs have acc.u.mulated an excessive amount of cold, hot, and malevolent energies over time. It's not something to be taken lightly. To bolster his const.i.tution, he should incorporate licorice and other remedies into his routine. His frailty is such that even a gust of wind could topple him."
"People can cultivate both muscle and bone strength, even if they are mere mortals. It's essential for his well-being."
"His feebleness is so p.r.o.nounced that it may even hinder his chances of having descendants in the future. Does he truly aspire to be all style and no substance?"
The Eldest Young Sir Qin couldn't help but choke on his tea, coughing vehemently with his head bowed.
Meanwhile, the Fifth Young Sir Qin, seated beside, was momentarily taken aback and perturbed by Qiao Mu's words. His moist, captivating eyes fixed on her, a mix of anger and speechlessness in his expression.
This girl was not only harsh but had a biting tongue as well. She had essentially insulted him from start to finish, labeling him as weak one moment and mocking him subtly the next.
Moreover, as a young woman, didn't she consider it somewhat inappropriate to discuss a man's prospects of having offspring with such an impa.s.sive and logical demeanor?
Qiao Mu casually glanced at Fifth Young Sir before extracting a small box the size of a ring from her pocket, sliding it over to him. She then addressed Eldest Young Sir, asking, "Aside from the tearless gra.s.s, do you happen to have any white maple left? If you do, kindly provide some as well."
"The walnut pill isn't available to the general public," she said impa.s.sively, "as it can enhance bone marrow, fortify muscles, and strengthen bones. It's specifically suitable for you."
She seemed resolute in her determination to fortify his physique. Did she perceive him as that frail?
Fifth Young Sir was left so exasperated that he was rendered speechless.
Eldest Young Sir's mouth twitched as he fetched a few medicinal ingredients from his belongings, laying them out in front of Qiao Mu.
The unflinching young lady promptly collected them all and stored them away without ceremony.
Taking note of her acquisitions from Eldest Young Sir, she inquired with kindness towards Fifth Young Sir, "Would you like to have the Dragon Tendon Bone Restoration Pill?"
Fifth Young Sir was instinctively irate. "Get lost."
Eldest Young Sir Qin couldn't contain his laughter, a hand covering his face.
Unbelievable, his gentle and elegant Fifth Brother, an embodiment of celestial grace, had actually lost his temper with this pet.i.te girl.
There was truly no one quite like her…
With a cold snort, the steadfast young lady stood up and made a move to leave.
Eldest Young Sir hastily rose, blocking her path and offering an obsequious smile. "Qiaoqiao, let's have a meal before we depart. Please don't be upset. Our Fifth Brother has been quite irritable lately, and he's not in the best of moods."
If only you knew how irritable I am!
Her Ladys.h.i.+p Qiaoqiao suddenly turned her dainty head, her eyes lighting up with a glint of recognition.
Their attention was immediately drawn to Mo Lian's rapid appearance at the restaurant's entrance. In less than a second, he reached their table.
Her Ladys.h.i.+p Qiaoqiao gleefully hopped over to his side. "Lian, where did you disappear to just now?"
That was a tale to tell!
At the mere mention of it, Mo Lian was thoroughly incensed!
