Mistakenly Connected to the Jade Flower Branch

Chapter 395 Lost Weight

Su Wuming, He Zhi, Xuesong, and Jingsong were at the very front of the Chongming Island pier, followed by a bunch of Dahe Gang brothers.

Nianyao took the lead and disembarked. Xuesong and Jingsong, along with their brothers, surrounded her, immediately pushing Su Wuming and He Zhi aside.

The brothers kept calling him "Boss" this and "Boss" that, their excitement overflowing.

Nianyao was both moved and touched. She greeted her brothers one by one: "I haven't been the gang leader for many years, and the Dahe Gang has been disbanded for a long time. Just call me Nianyao."

Tiger approached Luo An and pulled him toward the backyard: "Young master, my son has lost some weight recently, can you take a look?"

Luo An hadn't expected Hu Zi to pull him, and by the time he tried to avoid it, it was too late; Hu Zi still managed to grab his sleeve. The dock was too noisy, so he followed Hu Zi.

Su Wuming was stunned when he saw Xu Sheng: "Your Highness, your eyes?"

Xu Sheng handed the medicine box to Su Wuming, then looked up to the sky and sighed, "This is all your brother-in-law's doing. Just as Goujian endured hardship and humiliation in ancient times, I, the king, have gone blind carrying this medicine box..."

Thinking about the frustration in Dongyang, and how he had been humble and subservient all the way, he now had to carry Luo An's medicine box, making him look like Luo An's medical apprentice.

Now that they were finally free, Xu Sheng was overjoyed. He patted Su Wuming's shoulder twice and exclaimed, "I'm finally back! From now on, I'm in charge of my territory, I'm in charge, I'm in charge..."

Su Wuming, a frail scholar, was carrying a medicine box and could hardly withstand Xu Sheng's excited expression. He leaned to one side and almost fell.

Everything in the backyard remained the same, unchanged, and the rooms were as clean as ever. No matter which country's army came, they did not disturb the backyard.

Eighth Sister stood at the door holding the child: "Young Master, Tiger said you will definitely come back, so I come here every day to clean."

Tiger and I have planted all the land we were allocated to you. The rice and vegetables are growing very well; I'll take my wife to see them tomorrow.”

Tiger brought the child over: "Young master, look at my little rascal, he's lost weight this month."

Even with Luo An's exceptional medical skills, he couldn't tell where the chubby boy had lost weight, given how chubby his face was practically overflowing with flesh.

Tiger looked at Luo An with expectant eyes, as if waiting for Luo An to agree: "You've definitely lost weight!"

Luo An was in a dilemma. He didn't agree with Hu Zi for failing to live up to expectations, but he did agree with failing to live up to the medical skills he had learned over the years.

Seeing that Hu Zi had pulled Luo An away, Nian Yao quickly followed. Hearing this, she pinched the little tiger cub's chubby face and asked, "Where have you lost weight? Where have you lost weight?"

Tiger argued confidently, "Compared to other kids, he's not skinny. But compared to his own past self, he hasn't gained a single pound this month, so isn't that skinny?"

Eighth Sister said, "Xiao Bao had a high fever on and off a while ago and had a poor appetite. He only got better these last two days. We've already seen Doctor Song. Doctor Song said that it's common to catch colds and fevers in the spring, and he told us to take more baths, drink more hot water, sweat more, and urinate more."

Luo An agreed: "It's alright."

The two simple words, to Tiger, were more effective than an imperial edict.

"If the young master says it's nothing, then it must be nothing." Tiger was relieved. "Lord Su said that the young master and his wife have been traveling a long way and will definitely need to bathe and change clothes upon their return. Hot water has been prepared in the bathing room. If the young master needs anything, just call me."

After watching Hu Zi and Ba Mei leave, Nian Yao sighed, "He really...admires you a lot."

Luo An hummed in agreement: "The appearance of an immortal is something mortals naturally look up to."

Nianyao thought she had misheard: "You..."

Luo An placed his hand on her back and pushed her forward: "My husband wants to take a bath, please help him change his clothes."

Ultimately, Chongming Island is a place where people feel relaxed and at ease, largely thanks to the warm, simple, and loyal brothers there.

Luo An lay comfortably in the large bathtub, reaching out to pick up a rose petal: Su Wuming really knows how to be romantic!

"Please help me change, madam. Please help me change..."

Can "please" and "serve" be used together? Is this some kind of showing off in front of her? If she doesn't serve you, are you going to stay soaking in the bath?

As Nianyao thought about it, she took a set of apricot-white brocade from the closet in her bedroom. She remembered that Luo An liked this warm white color.
