The two arrived in Old Madam Long's Quarter.
Just like what Long Qian Xing said, it didn't take long for Old Madam Long to wake up and saw her grandson with Nan Hua. She blinked her eyes before smiling widely, happy that her grandson had decided to let her stay.
"Ah Xing, did you wait for long?"
"Grandmother is not feeling well, as your grandson, it's my duty to wait upon you." Long Qian Xing took the bowl of dicine. It was still warm and handed it to Old Madam Long. "Grandmother, please drink your dicine."
Sensing the rich sll of the dicine, Old Madam Long frowned almost imdiately. These were all the combination of dicines that she hated a lot. Not hated because of the effect but because of the taste.
It made her recall her old friend, Traveling Doctor Liu.
"This dicine… is this given by Apprentice Doctor Luo?" Old Madam Long asked weakly.
Long Qian Xing arched his eyebrows when he saw Old Madam Long's reaction. He knew very well that she didn't want to drink the dicine when she slled it. After all, she knew that it tasted very bitter.
The more bitter the dicine, the better it would be.
That was how his grandmother always told him. But when it ca to drinking her own dicine, Old Madam Long would usually refuse to drink it. It was to the point that Long Qian Xing was a bit speechless by his grandmother sotis.
"Apprentice Doctor Luo prepared the prescription, but it's Hua'er who prepared the dicine. Now, please drink the dicine, Grandmother." Long Qian Xing smiled warmly.
Old Madam Long originally wanted to lash out, but she swallowed all of the words she was about to utter. Since it was Nan Hua who prepared the dicine, how could she possibly threw it out?
She couldn't bear to.
In the end, Old Madam Long drank the dicine begrudgingly. The bitter taste exploded within her mouth, causing her to crease her eyebrows.
She really hated this.
Long Qian Xing smiled warmly when he saw his grandmother being obedient. There were tis when his grandmother didn't want to drink dicine because of the taste. It seed that he had to ask Nan Hua to prepare other dicines when his grandmother didn't want to drink any.
It was indeed the most effective thod.
At the back, Nan Hua was speechless.
Why did it seem… a bit different from the original story?
From the way it looked like, Nan Hua knew that Old Madam Long agreed to drink the dicine because she was the one who prepared it. However, in the original story, the relationship between Old Madam Long and Nan Hua was not this good.
It was not like their relationship was bad, but they were not as close as this.
And the original Nan Hua still followed the strict etiquette when she was facing Old Madam Long without breaking any. But when Nan Hua was facing Old Madam Long, it was clear that Old Madam Long didn't want her to follow the protocol so much.
'What else did I actually change?'
At this mont, Nan Hua really didn't know just how many things that she had changed to cause so many butterfly effect like this. Even though she had tried to act the sa as the original Nan Hua at first, it seed that things didn't go in accordance to the way she wanted to.
There were too many changes that she knew that the novel had long beco so unreliable. The one whom she could depend should be her own abilities and the people she had gathered for a long period of ti.
"Hua'er, your dicine is good." Old Madam Long resisted the bitter taste and drank water. Afterwards, she praised Nan Hua generously.
Long Qian Xing resisted the urge to roll his eyes because he knew that Old Madam Long actually wanted to curse out loud regarding how bitter the dicine was. But since Nan Hua was in front of her, she was trying to keep her image.
It was just…
Nan Hua had already seen her fighting against Old Master Nan, alright?
There was really no need to keep the image.
"Grandmother praised too much. This one only prepared the dicine in accordance to the recipe prepared." Nan Hua curtsied.
Old Madam Long smiled faintly when she saw Nan Hua's politeness. There were too many other won who acted as if they did nothing when they did sothing good. However, they would always try to get sothing.
But Nan Hua was different.
Even though it was clear that she had helped her, Old Madam Long knew that Nan Hua was genuinely telling her that it was nothing. And it was this indifference that made her feel that Nan Hua was really a good young lady.
"How great would it be if you can enter Long Family household earlier." Old Madam Long lanted.
Nan Hua's lips twitched a bit. She was only 13 years old, Old Madam Long. Even if she wanted to enter Long Family Residence, it was fine to wait until she had reached of age, right?
There was no need to be in such a hurry to allow her to enter Long Family Residence.
Old Madam Long narrowed her eyes and looked at her grandson.
She felt that her grandson was truly useless.
"Hua'er, don't bother with Long Qian Xing too much. He didn't know much about won and might not be able to accompany you all the ti." Old Madam Long didn't mind dissing her own grandson.
Long Qian Xing took a deep breath and silently wondered whether it would be possible to ask for a change in grandparents. He felt that his grandmother's dislike towards him had been amplified greatly lately. It was to the point that he wondered what did he do wrong to make his grandmother dissed him so much.
He didn't even do anything, okay?
Was it his fault that he couldn't age a few years overnight?
