My restaurant connects to the demon realm, and I've become incredibly wealthy!

Chapter 276 I can’t laugh or cry
Lu Xiao was both amused and exasperated. She placed the child in Yu Tan's arms and said, "You two wait for me."

He wanted to go and see what kind of trouble Consort Su was up to this time.

His lips twitched; he'd been led astray by his daughter!

[Hmph! At least you, you scumbag father, have a conscience. If you dare take my blood, I'll haunt you even in death!]

[Your child, born to that mistress, isn't sick at all; drinking chicken blood or dog blood would cure it!]

The white fox Yaoyao screamed wildly in her heart.

Since she's just a baby now, she can't say a word and can only complain in her heart.

[But what does that Consort Su look like? I'd love to go see her!]

I need to go check on her; is her son dying?

The white fox Yaoyao was held in Yu Tan's arms, her big eyes gazing longingly outside.

She hadn't left the house for a month, sleeping soundly in her mother's arms the whole time.

For the sake of her daughter watching the excitement, Lu Xiao pulled back her long legs that had been extended.

"Ah Tan, let me carry my daughter over! Don't worry, I won't harm the child."

He would never take his own daughter's heart's blood.

This is his beloved daughter whom he has been longing for. How could he let something happen to her?
His little girl wanted to go see the excitement, so of course he would let her.

Yu Tan was worried and wanted to see what Consort Su was up to. "I'll go with you."

"Okay." Lu Xiao held the child himself, with Yu Tan following beside him.

Granny Sun also went along.

We arrived at the Lotus Garden.

[Lotus Garden? It truly is the place where white lotuses reside; even the name suits them perfectly!]

Yu Tan suppressed a laugh.

Isn't Consort Su just a pure white lotus flower?
She acts weak and helpless all the time, like she can't afford to live.

"Your Highness, please look at Mingyue! He's dying!"

When Su Yan'er saw Lu Xiao arrive, she leaned her soft, boneless body against him.

Lu Xiao dodged, preventing her from touching him, "Didn't you see I was holding a child?"

Su Yan'er's expression froze. When her child was born, the prince didn't even look at him, let alone let her hold him.

Now the prince is actually spending all his time hugging this money-losing brat!
"Your Highness, if you don't come soon, Mingyue will die! You said you would use this child's heart's blood to cure Mingyue's illness!"

Su Yan'er's eyes were filled with hidden hatred.

Why should her son be ignored?

This money-losing girl is being pampered like a precious jewel by the prince?

She must kill this bastard!
"How dare you! You don't even kneel down to pay your respects to the Prince and Princess, but instead you're shouting and yelling here. Have you forgotten all the proper etiquette?"

clap clap clap!
Granny Sun went up and slapped Su Yan'er three times across the face!
【Oh dear! Serves you right! Who told you to take my heart's blood? Your son isn't sick at all!】

If you mention taking my heart's blood again, I curse you to step in dog poop when you go out!

Let me see what this mistress looks like.

Yu Tan suppressed a laugh and looked at Su Yan'er, "Consort Su, as a consort of the Prince of Qin's mansion, you should abide by the rules of the mansion."

Su Yan'er was stunned by the blow. After a while, she finally came to her senses and yelled, "You old bastard! Who do you think you are, daring to hit me?"

"And you, a woman from ancient times confined to the inner quarters, only knows how to scheme and fight within the inner quarters. I'm different. I'm a person who has received higher education, and I won't abide by your ridiculous rules!"

She is a new human being of the 21st century, unlike these ancient people.

These ancient people were rigid and boring; she was the only exception.

She must have read dozens of novels, and no one can rival her in palace intrigue and domestic power struggles.

Wasn't it because the prince liked her unconventional personality that he fell for her?

*Slap! Slap!* Granny Sun went up and slapped her twice more. "You ungrateful brat!"

[Wow! This girl is fierce! Granny Sun is the Emperor's wet nurse, and she doesn't even give her any face!]

[But what's going on with this mistress? Her forehead is flushed with a peach-colored glow, and she has no connection to her scumbag father. Could it be that the son she gave birth to isn't his?]

The book doesn't say that the child born to the mistress wasn't born to the scumbag father, does it?
That's true; the book always focuses on the abusive relationship between the scumbag father and mother, the extreme tug-of-war, so it's normal that it doesn't mention whose child the father is.

Lu Xiao: ······

Is his daughter still accusing him now?
He had no affection for this Consort Su at all; he only thought of giving her a place to stay because she had saved him years ago and the Su family disliked her.

He never expected that because of Su Yan'er, his woman and child would die tragically in his previous life.

Yu Tan was also shocked. This child wasn't the prince's?

But how?
She witnessed the prince going to Consort Su's room after getting drunk that night.

“Consort Su, as a consort of the Prince’s residence, you should abide by the rules. From now on, when you see the Princess and me, you should bow and greet them.”

There was no warmth in Lu Xiao's eyes.

Su Yan'er was shocked. The prince had always been very gentle with her.
Why is everything different today?
No!

She absolutely could not allow the prince to feel any more pity for this mother and daughter. "Your Highness, I understand! But our son Mingyue is dying!"

[Hmph! You've ruined your son's life by cursing him!]

White Fox Yaoyao thought to herself.

Lu Xiao remained expressionless. "Imperial Physician, please go in and take a look!"

When Su Yan'er saw the prince arrive with the imperial physician, she turned pale with fright. "Your Highness, Physician Qi has already treated the patient very well. Is there no need for the imperial physician?"

If the imperial physician discovers that her son is not sick, her plan will be ruined.

[Tch! You bribed that Doctor Qi, that's why he keeps saying your son is sick! Of course you wouldn't dare let the imperial physician examine him!]

[Even though he's a scumbag, he still has some brains, right? Surely he can see through this little trick?]

Lu Xiao: ·······

Could he give the little girl a beating?
What's wrong with praising your dad?

Looking at the little girl sucking on her hand in his arms, his heart melted completely; he couldn't bear to part with her!

"Since Doctor Qi can't cure it, then let's send in the imperial physician." Lu Xiao's words brooked no argument.

The imperial physician went in and saw that the child on the bed was pale.

[Oh dear! This Su Yan'er is truly heartless. Just to trick her scumbag father into coming to see her, she actually made her son soak in ice water for half an hour! This child is less than two months old; isn't that tantamount to killing him?]

The imperial physician, who was taking the patient's pulse, suddenly heard a child's voice.

But in the entire room, only the prince was holding the little princess, a little girl.

His hand trembled as he took her pulse. Could it be that he had just heard the little princess's thoughts?
Just as the little princess said, the child had been soaked in ice water and was now running a high fever.

Physician Liao stood up. "Your Highness, the young master doesn't have any heart disease. He's just caught a chill. It's a high fever caused by being soaked in ice water for too long. I'll go and prepare the medicine right away."

[This imperial physician is quite upright; it's just a pity that your grandson is about to be pushed into the water and drown.]

Just as Physician Liao stepped out the door, his left foot got caught on his right, and he almost fell flat on his face.

what?
His grandson was about to be pushed into the water and drown?
He summoned his apprentice and asked him to go to his home as soon as possible to rescue his grandson.

The prince still needs him to brew medicine, so he can't go back on his own.

Having received his instructions, the apprentice hurried off to the Liao residence.

Lu Xiao also gave Zhui Feng a wink, signaling him to follow and take a look.

Zhui Feng also gasped in surprise. He had actually overheard the little princess's inner thoughts?
It seems the prince heard it too.

Following orders, Zhui Feng quickly gave chase.
