Shi Wan.
Upon returning to the courtyard, Feng Ninghe saw a figure standing there.
"Eldest Miss."
Seeing her, A Xi greeted her proactively, "I'm here to take you to treat Xin Xin. The medicinal ingredients you requested earlier have all been prepared."
Hearing that the medicinal ingredients were ready, Feng Ninghe asked with slight surprise, "They've prepared all the ingredients so quickly?"
A Xi smiled, "Miss's injuries cannot be delayed, so my young master naturally prepared the ingredients at the first opportunity."
Each of the medicinal ingredients she listed was a treasure of heaven and earth.
For an ordinary person, it would take at least a year or a half to find them. Yet, Si Xin Xin's father had collected them all in just a few days.
Feng Ninghe moved her lips slightly and couldn't help but ask, "What exactly is Si Xin Xin's father's identity?"
Facing the inquiry, A Xi did not explain, merely smiling, "There will be plenty of time, Eldest Miss will know eventually. Please follow me."
Feng Ninghe said no more and quickly left with A Xi.
To facilitate Xin Xin's treatment, Si Jianye had purchased a residence not far from the Feng Manor.
The residence was neither too large nor too small, with a unique landscape and meticulously trimmed flowers and plants swaying in the breeze.
Feng Ninghe observed her surroundings all the way and soon arrived at a room.
"Pretty sister!"
Si Xin Xin had been waiting in the room.
Seeing Feng Ninghe, she eagerly stood up, her two little pigtails on her head bouncing.
Not far away, Si Jianye stood with his arms crossed, his expression cool, his indifferent eyes quietly observing Feng Ninghe as she entered the room.
Feng Ninghe casually embraced Si Xin Xin and gently stroked her tender cheek, her voice soft and gentle, "Have you been obedient these past two days?"
Si Xin Xin nodded seriously, her young face displaying a seriousness beyond her years, "I have been very obedient. I've stayed in the residence the whole time, waiting for my pretty sister to come and play with me!"
"I'm here to treat your illness, not to play."
As she spoke, Feng Ninghe gently hooked her nose.
Si Xin Xin smiled sweetly, her childlike voice exceptionally pleasant to the ear, "Pretty sister, can we treat first and then play?"
The interaction between the two was clearly visible to Si Jianye.
He subconsciously raised an eyebrow, secretly wondering what kind of abilities Feng Ninghe possessed to make Si Xin Xin so joyful.
Feng Ninghe's lightly powdered face was delicate and alluring, charming yet not seductive, with a hint of aloofness. In terms of appearance, her face was stunningly beautiful.
What concerned Si Jianye even more was that this woman was indeed different from ordinary women.
Soon, he withdrew his thoughts, took out a spatial bag, and handed it over, "The medicinal ingredients you requested are all in here."
Feng Ninghe put down Si Xin Xin and took the spatial bag.
After scanning the spatial bag with her divine sense, she withdrew her gaze, "I will start with a small amount of medicinal ingredients to allow Xin Xin's body to gradually adapt, then slowly increase the dosage. Also, prepare a wooden bathtub for me. I will refine the medicinal ingredients into a medicinal liquid for Xin Xin to soak in."
A Xi immediately brought a wooden bathtub without a word.
Feng Ninghe glanced at Si Jianye, who was sitting in the room, and said softly, "Refining the medicinal liquid will take time. I will refine it first and call you when it's ready."
Xiao Zhao nimbly jumped down from her shoulder and nestled affectionately into Si Xin Xin's arms, whimpering incessantly.
Xin Xin, let's go play in the courtyard.
Si Xin Xin did not refuse, a bright smile appearing on her small face. She hugged Xiao Zhao tightly and dashed out of the room.
A Xi subconsciously followed Si Xin Xin out of the room.
Si Jianye sat motionless on the chair, showing no intention of getting up.
"Xin Xin's father, are you standing here because you want to watch me refine the medicinal liquid?"
She turned her gaze to Si Jianye.
Beneath the man's mask, his eyes were sharp and deep, like an abyss of darkness devoid of any light, making it impossible to fathom his thoughts.
Si Jianye looked directly at her, his sharp eyes extremely calm, "Can I not watch?"
Feng Ninghe walked towards the door and deliberately made a gesture of invitation, "You should leave. Staying in the room will affect my performance."
Never before had anyone dared to expel him.
This woman actually wanted to drive him away?
Si Jianye raised an eyebrow, a hint of coldness appearing on his face beneath the mask, and the surrounding atmosphere grew colder.
He did not linger there and turned to leave.
After the man left, Feng Ninghe deliberately closed the door and deftly took out an exquisite alchemy furnace from her spatial bracelet.
The silver furnace emitted a faint glow.
She took out a small amount of medicinal ingredients and placed them into the alchemy furnace, controlling her spiritual energy to refine them.
In the courtyard.
Si Xin Xin and Xiao Zhao ran around the courtyard happily, their small faces filled with smiles.
Seeing Si Xin Xin so joyful, A Xi felt inexplicably relieved and remarked, "It's been a long time since I've seen Miss so happy. It's strange, Miss is always this happy when she sees Feng Ninghe."
Si Jianye's gaze was fixed on Si Xin Xin.
Seeing her in high spirits, the coldness on his body lessened somewhat, and a hint of warmth appeared on his face.
Although he didn't know what methods Feng Ninghe used, seeing Si Xin Xin so happy, he didn't mind their interaction.
In the room.
Feng Ninghe had already refined the medicinal liquid and poured it all into the wooden bathtub. She then took some spiritual river from her space and mixed it into the bathtub.
The ginseng seedling stood on the edge of the bathtub with its hands on its hips, blinking its large eyes and forcing out a few tears.
It glanced smugly at the bathtub, opening its mouth to boast, "Master, my tears can cure all diseases! Mixed with this barrel of potent medicinal liquid, it's incredibly nourishing. I even want to soak in it."
Before it could jump into the bathtub, Feng Ninghe caught it, "You can soak in the spiritual river. I have other uses for this medicinal liquid."
Having done this, she opened the door and casually scanned the people in the courtyard, "Xin Xin, you can come over now."
As the door opened, a strong medicinal fragrance wafted out from the room.
The aroma seemed to soothe the soul.
A Xi's eyes lit up instantly, and he stared intently at the room, "The spiritual energy in the room is so dense. It seems the medicinal liquid has been successfully condensed."
Si Xin Xin eagerly approached Feng Ninghe.
"Xin Xin, I've reduced the dosage specifically because I'm afraid you won't be able to tolerate it. You cannot leave until the medicinal liquid is fully absorbed, otherwise, it will affect its efficacy. Tell me if you can't bear it."
She gently held Si Xin Xin's small hand and whispered her instructions.
Looking at the small figure before her, she felt a pang of reluctance.
These medicinal ingredients, when condensed together, were extremely potent. Even with the reduced dosage, it would be quite taxing for Xin Xin.
Si Xin Xin blinked her bright eyes, which were like twinkling stars in the night sky. She nodded heavily, her small face full of determination, and said crisply, "Xin Xin is ready. Xin Xin is not afraid of anything!"
