Chapitre 66: The First Step

Grandpa Xiao had already started eating, but because he couldn't eat anything too heavy, there wasn't a lot of oil added to the dishes. He started with a small bowl of beef stew and started reaching his chopsticks towards the sweet and sour pork before he was stopped by Xiao Sheng.

Upon seeing a glance from the young master, the butler quickly used chopsticks to place a chestnut into Grandpa Xiao's bowl, making the latter smile bitterly as he looked at the chestnut.

"Grandpa Xiao, eat some of this." Gu Xiqiao used her chopsticks to take some cucumbers for him and pushed his bowl with the chestnut in it to one side. "Grandpa butler, you know about traditional Chinese medicine, right? Judging from how you knew the quality of the ginseng root I brought here last time."

The butler nodded and replied, "That would be correct, Miss Gu, I learned some from a traditional Chinese doctor because Master Xiao wasn't healthy in the past."
