Fortunate Life of the Rural Beauty

The old lady thought about it and laughed, "Exactly, getting old tends to cloud the mind and make you blurt out nonsense."

Chu Lingxuan took out a cotton shoulder cape that Chen Afu had specifically made for the old lady, along with two jars of Soaking Wine, some snacks made by Mrs. Hua, and some health supplements that he bought himself. The old lady only paid attention to the health supplements, completely ignoring the items brought by Lady Lingxuan out of disdain.

Chu Lingxuan whispered to the old woman with a smile, "Grandma, this Soaking Wine has been steeped with precious medicinal materials. Not only does my grandfather enjoy it, but even the Empress Dowager is said to favor it. I previously sent you two jars, and if Uncle gave them to the servants out of displeasure with his nephew, that would be a terrible waste."

Hearing that even the Empress Dowager enjoyed this wine and that it was good for her health, the old lady exclaimed, "You have previously given this wine to us? How come I didn’t know?"

Mr. Luo lamented, "That’s really a waste. The things that Cousin Xuan gave to us, I... I gave to the servants."

He wanted to say "my mother," but worried that she would be scolded, so instead he said "my father."

The old lady didn’t want to scold her son, so she sighed at Chu Lingxuan instead, saying, "You naughty boy, why didn’t you explain this to your uncle?"

Chu Lingxuan laughed and said, "I only learned that the Empress Dowager liked this wine when I was dealing with some affairs in the capital recently. Grandma, if you drink half a cup of this every day, it will be beneficial to your health."

The old lady instructed, "Give one jar to my eldest son. He has been laboring over court matters night and day."

Chu Lingxuan replied, "I have brought another jar for Uncle."

After some more conversation, the old lady started to feel drowsy. Chu Lingxuan and Mr. Luo then stood up to leave.
