Chapter 65: Throwing brick to attract jade (Part 6)

“Mmm! Xin’er has been ill since she was born. Grandpa tried everything to save Xiner’s life, he even used father’s Nanyang jade. These medicinal herbs were brought by Uncle Murong this time. I am trying to distinguish them to see if they can be useful to Xin’er.”

When it comes to Su Xin’s illness, Su Qi’s smiling eyes couldn’t help but sink. Today, Su Xin’s illness frightened them. Especially their mother.

Since birth?

Mu Yunxuan had a heartache.

However, who was this Grandpa he’s talking about? Mu Yunxuan was curious, but it was not the time to be curious, Su Xin was more important to discuss.

“Qi’er, there are 30 mature silver plants in the Sacred Pond in the Yun City. Can you use them to cure Xin’er disease?”

“Father, the silver plant is the best medicine to control Xiner’s disease, but Grandpa said it can only prolong Xiner’s life. It can’t cure Xiner’s illness at all.”

Su Qi’s words instantly pierced Mu Yunxuan’s heart. It can only prolong her life? Then his lovely daughter… … Mu Yunxuan didn’t dare to think about it.

“Qi’er, why you haven’t slept yet?” Su Zimo’s voice came from outside.

Su Qi was startled, how come his mother come over at this time?

He was still thinking about it, but he found out his father has long been gone.

Su Zimo opened the door and came in, but she only saw Su Qi distinguishing the herbs.

Somehow she felt strange, she just felt someone else’s breath!

“Mother, why you haven’t slept yet? I am just finishing distinguishing this herb and then will sleep.”

“I saw the light in your room still lit, so I came to look. Qi’er you sleep early, you can continue checking these herbs tomorrow.”

In this era, children don’t need to go to school. Most of them were taught by their mother at home. Her sons and daughter were taught by her. They spend a lot of time together at home, but her two sons love staying up late. She couldn’t figure out why.

“Mother, I am going to sleep.”

Su Qi got up and patted the dregs on his body and grinned at Su Zimo.

Seeing this, Su Zimo was relieved. She then went back to her room to sleep.

When the door was closed, Su Qi felt relieved.

If his mother saw the scene just now, she would be sad. Why did he feel like he was acting like a thief?

Su Qi shook his head and said to himself: “A diligent student is full of cleverness and a lazy man is full of all kinds of excuses. How can this habit that developed from childhood to adulthood be changed all of a sudden? I haven’t finished things yet, how can I think to sleep!”

Su Qi’s leaned his little body on the couch and looked up at the roof with sleepy eyes.

A dark shadow popped out.

“Father, you haven’t you left yet?”

Su Qi jumped up quickly.

“Father, how can you leave just like that and let me talk to myself, then explain myself?”

Mu Yunxuan found him funny. He really doesn’t know where he learned these things.

“Father! Diligence is a treasure. You can’t live without it. Mother often said no pain no gain. I’ve been accustomed to this thing since I was a kid. I don’t go to rest until I finished my work for the day.”

“Qi’er, this habit is very good, it will let you become independent quickly.”

Mu Yunxuan really appreciates Su Zimo’s educational method. Diligent people sleep less, while lazy people sleep like a patient. This principle plays to everyone. There’s no pie falling from the sky. Su Qi understood this truth at this early age was really comforting.

“Father, would you like to sleep with me here?”

Su Qi blinked his clear eyes with a sincere invitation and patted the bed that was enough for two people to sleep.

Since half of his intention was spoken and Su Qi called him father, Mu Yunxuan was overwhelmed.

“Alright!”

The father and son looked at each other and smiled.

The candlelight was extinguished, but the darkness in the room couldn’t conceal the warmth inside.
