Chapter 102: The Medicinal Decoction Is Carrots
“Baor, you’ve suffered,” Lin Sanlang said as he gently patted Fu Bao’s head.
“Daddy,” Fu Bao replied softly.
“Don’t worry, Baor. I will make sure to avenge you!” Lin Sanlang refused to believe that any nanny would harm her without reason—there was no cause or grudge!
“Mm!” Fu Bao nodded firmly.
After comforting Fu Bao, Lin Sanlang stepped out, leaving the room with Fu Bao alone inside.
“Oh my, look, that big carp has awakened.”
“Yes, yes! Look at how beautiful her scales are!” came the voices of the two sunflowers inside the room. By the way, can sunflowers be grown in pots?
Lin Sanlang: Of course they can!
“You… you’re awake.” Little Ginseng, having waited until no one was around, jumped down from the rooftop. He recognized her immediately—this was the grand koi from the Yaoxi Pool in the Greater Dabie Mountains! He couldn’t believe he had been by her side all along.
“Ginseng.”
“Have you remembered now?” Little Ginseng asked cautiously.
“So, what do you plan to do? You must have realized your powers by now!”
“Mm.” Fu Bao glanced at the two sunflowers and nodded.
“Should I take care of that woman for you?” Little Ginseng had already investigated. The vile Bai Yugu had pushed a child into the water. Though it ended up benefiting Fu Bao, such a malicious person couldn’t be left unpunished!
Fu Bao pursed her lips and raised an eyebrow. “No need. She will reap what she sows.”
“Too kind to her!” Little Ginseng said angrily.
---
“All right! I’m hungry.” Fu Bao rubbed her stomach, feeling very famished. Why hadn’t her mother returned yet?
Little Ginseng: Some things never change!
Fu Bao’s awakening delighted the whole family. Bai Yulan came again, her belly visibly swollen. This time, Han Hua accompanied her. With villains brazenly attacking at the Prime Minister’s residence, it was safer for her to have company.
“Eh—when did this chubby rabbit come back? Wasn’t she lost?” Bai Yulan noticed the once-missing plump rabbit nestled in Fu Bao’s arms, acting spoiled.
Ugh! Quite an eye-sore!
“Baor!” Bai Yulan approached, holding her belly.
“Auntie~” Fu Bao called softly.
“Feeling better?”
“Yes.”
Seeing Fu Bao’s improved complexion, Bai Yulan was relieved. The poor child had suffered so much.
“Oh! Sister’s here too. It’s really tough on you, coming back to your natal home with such a big belly!” A sharp, spiteful voice cut through the air. Bai Yugu’s eyes flashed darkly as she looked at Bai Yulan’s stomach.
“What nonsense is that, little sister! Now that Baor has awakened, of course I must come home to see her!” Bai Yulan shot a glance at Bai Yugu.
“Heh, well then.” Bai Yuru didn’t argue and sat down instead.
Hmph! You little brat, Bai Yulan paid her no mind.
“Miss, your soup is ready!” Outside, the maid Zixia called, bringing Bai Yulan’s meal. The recipe had been specially requested by Han Wu from the Imperial Medical Bureau for Bai Yulan. But why did it contain carrots?!
“Good, bring it in.”
---
“Yes.”
No one noticed the malice in Bai Yugu’s eyes or the cold smile curling at her lips.
Upon smelling the scent, the little white rabbit’s ears perked up.
“Oh, little white!” In a flash, the chubby rabbit leapt at Zixia’s feet, clutching her skirt and baring a perfect set of twenty-eight teeth!
Bai Yulan???
Zixia???
Bai Yugu “...”
In the end, the entire bowl of medicinal soup was fed to the fat rabbit!
Wait, rabbits need health tonics too? Judging by little white’s plumpness, she probably didn’t need it at all!
Furious, Bai Yugu swept her sleeves and stormed off, cursing a new target. “That wretched rabbit shall be stewed!”
Of course, Bai Yugu never got the chance. A few days later, she fell from a boat into the water and was bedridden for months, rarely seen by anyone. Far away, a man died mysteriously. It was only when the police were notified that they identified him as Tian Laosì, who had run away from Lin Family Village!
In the blink of an eye, seven years had passed since Fu Bao arrived in the capital. Now she was taller and more grown. Only her love of food remained unchanged.
