Chapter 52: Three Little Babies

Because it was not far, Yu Wan and Yu Feng informed the coachman and walked to a pharmacy called Guangren Hall.

According to the staff of the Rainbow Clouds Pavilion, Guangren Hall was a century-old brand. It had been practicing medicine for generations and they were already the sixth generation. Its shop wasn’t big and its location was remote. However, perhaps because of its reputation, there were many patients who came to buy medicine and seek treatment.

The doctor was a young man in his thirties.

There were seven or eight patients waiting in front of him. He checked their pulse with a numb expression.

“Doctor, can my mother recover from her injuries after taking these few sets of medicine?” A man in cloth clothes asked. He had come to see the doctor with his old mother who had rheumatism. His old mother’s knee was in so much pain that she could not stand up straight.

The young doctor nodded slightly before saying, “Next.”

“Doctor… sir…” The man in cloth clothes wanted to ask something, but the patient behind him had already taken a step forward and pushed him away.

Yu Feng frowned. What kind of doctor was this? He was too perfunctory!

Yu Wan did not say anything. She did not even frown, as if she was used to such things.

The young doctor was very efficient. Soon, it was the siblings’ turn.

“Which one of you is here to see the doctor?” The young doctor buried his head in writing the prescription of the previous patient and asked without looking up.

Yu Wan said, “It’s not us, it’s my uncle. He broke his leg two years ago and didn’t receive timely treatment. Until now, he still can’t withstand the force. I wonder if Guangren Hall has treated similar patients before?”

The young doctor finally looked up at them. His gaze shifted between the two of them before finally locking onto Yu Wan. “Has it been two years?”

Yu Wan nodded.

“It might be difficult to treat.” The young doctor continued to write the prescription.

After leaving Guangren Hall, Yu Feng’s expression turned ugly.

Yu Wan consoled, “Don’t be discouraged. There are still many doctors in the Capital.”

Yu Feng could not be as optimistic as her. “The doctors in town all said…”

Yu Wan interrupted him in time. “There’s no good material in town yet. There’s always someone better. If the doctor in town can’t treat him, we’ll go to the Capital to look for him. If the doctor in the Capital can’t treat him, we’ll go to another city to look for another doctor. The world is big, there must be a divine doctor who can treat Uncle.”

Yu Feng wanted to ask where her confidence came from, but when he met her determined and stubborn eyes, he couldn’t say a word.

The two of them went to the other two pharmacies and received the same answer as before. When they reached the fourth pharmacy, they encountered an old doctor who had once served as a military doctor. After hearing their description, the old doctor was not in a hurry to conclude. Instead, he touched his white beard and said, “I’ve never treated such an injury before, but I’ve seen others treat it before. Bring him over for me to take a look first.”

The two of them left the pharmacy in a good mood.

Yu Feng was obviously very happy. In the past two years, he had asked countless doctors, but this was the first time he heard news that there was hope of treatment.

“I’m so hungry. Big Brother, where’s the food you brought?” Yu Wan said.

Yu Feng said readily, “The pancakes are cold. I will bring you to eat something good!”

Fifteen minutes later, the two of them appeared in the alley beside the most luxurious restaurant, the River Gazing Restaurant, in the Capital.

Yu Wan was sitting on a stool with half its leg broken. In front of her was a table that had lost its paint and its color could no longer be seen. On the table was a large bowl that did not seem to have been washed very clean. In the bowl was a black dumpling soup.

It is literally a dumpling soup. There were no dumplings, only soup.

Yu Feng took out two cold pancakes and soaked them in the hot soup. “It’s not cold anymore. Hurry up and eat!”

Yu Wan rolled her eyes.

In the River Gazing Restaurant, which was a wall away, someone also ordered a bowl of dumpling soup.

The dumpling soup here was much more extravagant. It was made with pig bones, shark fins, dried shells, winter bamboo shoots, and more than ten flavors of wild mountain fungus as the main ingredients. There were exquisite meatballs, shrimp dumplings, and egg dumplings inside to better improve the freshness of the ingredients. There was also a circle of seaweed on the soup surface.

Just this bowl of “dumplings soup” was worth a hundred taels.

The sky-high price of “dumplings soup” was sent to the Heaven Room of the River Gazing Restaurant.

Uncle Wan and three fair-skinned little munchkins sat around the table.

The three little munchkins were excited. Their eyes were wide open, and they looked extremely energetic. However, Uncle Wan, who was at the side, had two heavy dark circles under his eyes and looked haggard, as if he had aged several decades overnight.

Why did he become like this? It started last night.

Not long after Yan Jiuchao brought the three children back to the Young Master’s Manor, the children woke up. When they woke up, they peed on their father three times before they were completely awake.

Uncle Wan thought that since the children had slept for an entire day and did not eat anything, they must be starving. He hurriedly asked the kitchen to cook a large table of good dishes. Who knew that the little fellows would run all over the courtyard that he could not even catch them!

It was not easy for Yan Jiuchao to forcefully press them onto the chairs, but the few little fellows suddenly became teary-eyed.

That aggrieved look on their faces really crushed his heart. Before they could cry, Uncle Wan’s tears fell.

Yan Jiuchao did not fall for it. He threatened to throw them out if they dared to cry.

The three little fellows instantly stopped “crying”.

Uncle Wan thought that it was time for them to eat properly, but who knew that they began to hold their stomachs again, looking like they couldn’t hold it in anymore and were about to poop.

Uncle Wan hurriedly brought them to the washroom.

As soon as the three little lads sat on the small bucket, they stopped covering their stomachs and frowning. They looked at the sky leisurely.

They sat there for half an hour.

Uncle Wan was at his wits’ end.

Young Master Yan ordered the guards to lift the three little fellows up. Unexpectedly, as soon as the guards picked them up, they heard a plop sound—

They had pooped…

“As expected of your father’s biological sons…” Uncle Wan said with despair as he scooped the dumpling soup.

The three little fellows had been fooling around all night until now. They had not eaten or drunk anything.

Uncle Wan had been coaxing them for the entire night and could not take it anymore.

Uncle Wan scooped the dumpling soup into three bowls of white rice. As he scooped, his head sank and he fell asleep on the table.

The three little fellows climbed onto the chairs, pushed open the window, and leaned on the windowsill to look down.

Yu Wan and Yu Feng were sitting in the alley below, drinking the indescribable dumpling soup.

Yu Feng glanced at her and said, “I’ll go buy two scallion pancakes.”

With that, he stood up and left.

The three little fellows climbed down from the chair and walked to the low table. They picked up the small bowl on the table and walked downstairs.

At the stall, Yu Wan braced herself and drank the disgusting dumpling soup. She turned around and saw three strong-looking little fellows.

Huh? Wasn’t these the children she met in Lotus Flower Town yesterday?

The children of the daughter of the Yan Family and the Young Master of Yan City. They were still wearing the clothes she had personally changed into, but their pants were different.

Strange. Why were they here? And they were all… holding a bowl of sumptuous rice.

The table was too high. The three little fellows stood on their tiptoes and placed their food on the table with difficulty.

They didn’t put it properly, so some soup spilled out.

Then, the three of them pushed the food in front of Yu Wan.
