After the milk ball arrived, the father who had no heirs had a string of good luck.

Situ Che nodded, glanced at Tang Rui, and said, "If she has nowhere to go, she can come to me. I will give her a place to stay and ensure her a peaceful life for the rest of her days."

She was Tang Rui's biological mother after all, and she had saved his life, so she had been kind to him.

But he already has a princess, so he can't guarantee anything else. At most, he can only try to secure a concubine position for Tang Rao.

Sometimes Situ Che felt quite frustrated. Having too many women wasn't a good thing. He was afraid of hurting one woman's feelings or hurting another's.

But he's a man!

A true man is born to stand tall and upright; he cannot do irresponsible things!

Leng Ruohua was taken aback upon hearing this, and glanced at Tang Rui without making a sound.

Tang Rui shook her head slightly.

Leng Ruohua: "..." Fortunately, Tang Rui did not tell Situ Che about Tang Rao.

Indeed, after all, she is the only survivor of the Southern Barbarian royal family, and it would be bad for Tang Rao if too many people knew about her.

But did Situ Che's reaction mean he guessed something?

Tsk…

Being too smart isn't good for a man!

Leng Ruohua cupped her hands and said, "Prince Li, I will convey these words to Tang Rao."

However, Tang Rao probably wouldn't agree.

In the Southern Barbarian lands, women were in charge, and the Southern Barbarian emperors throughout history were all women.

Before the Southern Barbarians were destroyed, Tang Rao was being groomed by the Empress as the Crown Prince and would not be confined to a man's harem.

In Tang Rui's words, "Playing around is fine, but getting me to marry is a no-go!"

"Thank you, little miracle doctor!" Prince Li said again.

"It's nothing. I can only keep the Golden Silkworm Gu dormant for a year. I need to get back to Beidi, so I'll take my leave now."

"Senior sister, let me see you off! When you leave, could you take a look at my Gu? I've been raising it for a long time, but it hasn't reacted yet." Tang Rui immediately came over.

"Okay!" Leng Ruohua nodded politely to Situ Che and walked out.

Tang Rui followed closely behind her, asking all sorts of questions.

Rong Momo was completely stunned, as if struck by lightning. Situ Che called her several times before she hurriedly followed.

God's milk...

The young master actually comes from the Valley of Divine Physicians?

No wonder the young master likes to play with those Gu worms and poisons!

So here's the question: Is the miracle doctor... really a miracle doctor, and not a poison doctor?

...

Back in Tang Rui's courtyard, Leng Ruohua felt a little relieved.

Cuiwei Pavilion was luxurious in every way and had a large number of servants, which showed that Tang Rui lived a very good life here.

Leng Ruohua checked the Gu worms she was raising, added some medicinal powder, and then silently took out two small bottles and handed them to Tang Rui: "These are all Gu worms your mother refined. One is the Crimson Blood Gu, which can kill people invisibly, and the other is the White Jade Gu, which can cure all poisons!"

Tang Rui's eyes lit up, and she immediately took it, saying, "Hey, you came all this way, why did you bring a gift? It's so embarrassing."

"..." I don't see anything embarrassing about you.

Leng Ruohua earnestly reminded him: "It cannot be used for bad things, nor can it be used to persecute innocent people."

"I understand, I understand. I won't offend others unless they offend me; if they do, I'll eliminate them completely!"

"..." They really don't suffer any loss at all.

That's good too; her personality is very charming.

An eye for an eye must be repaid, and a favor must be repaid!

Leng Ruohua rubbed her head: "Rui Rui, I'm leaving now. Take care of yourself!"

Tang Rui looked disappointed upon hearing this: "Then when will I be able to see my senior sister again?"

"We'll meet again!" Leng Ruohua smiled slightly and continued to instruct, "I won't concern myself with the matter of the Xiaoyao Pill, but you should also be careful not to let it fall into the hands of the Great Xia."

Tang Rui's expression turned serious: "I know, I've already told Father, and Grandfather knows too, so they'll take precautions."

"Sweetie! Well... I'm leaving now." Leng Ruohua rubbed her head and turned to leave.

Tang Rui quickly caught up with her: "I'll take you home, Senior Sister. Tell me more about Mother again..."

"..." I'm afraid saying it would offend your ears.

Your mother has completely lured the entire Northern Di royal family into becoming her placenta.

Leng Ruohua sometimes wondered if the only woman who could threaten Tang Rao was Tang Rui.

...

Leng Ruohua left, and Situ Che stood up again.

But he didn't make a fuss about it and continued to sit in his wheelchair every day.

Besides Tang Rui and Rong Momo, only Qin Zhiyan knew about this.

Qin Zhiyan was genuinely happy for Situ Che.

Hearing that Tang Rui's biological mother was still alive made him feel very complicated.

Being alive is certainly good, and for any child, the presence of their mother is always more precious than anything else.

It's a good thing that Tang Rao is alive for Tang Rui.

But for her, it wasn't a good thing.

After all, she was the only woman who had given birth to Situ Che's child. If she came, how would he handle himself?

Will Situ Che like Tang Rao?

Now that Tang Rui has her own mother, does she still care about her mother, the concubine?

Situ Che seemed to sense her worries and spent more time with her.

Later, seeing that it wasn't working, he mentioned it to Tang Rui again.

Tang Rui: "..." I'm very busy!

She went to the Imperial Academy of Chinese Studies to check in every day as usual.

Ancient lessons were really boring, and writing essays was even more difficult, plus there were no punctuation marks.

Those classical Chinese phrases made Tang Rui's head throb with pain.

What left Tang Rui speechless was that Gu Nanyu acted as if he knew nothing about the arranged marriage and continued to linger in front of her.

Even if Situ Qiang is gone, there's still Situ Jin!

No one knows what Situ Qiang said to him, but Situ Jin's gaze toward her grew darker day by day.

Tang Rui was so frightened that she kept the bottle of Crimson Blood Gu tightly in her hand every day, as if she was about to release the Gu and bite someone at any moment.

Now I have an additional task: comforting Qin Zhiyan.

"Sigh..." This family would really fall apart without her!

After school that day, Tang Rui went to the kitchen to replenish her energy as usual. She even stole a large chicken leg that the chef had already plated.

When they arrived at Qin Zhiyan's courtyard, her lips were covered in oil.

Looking up, I saw Qin Zhiyan sitting by the window, staring blankly at the sky, as if she had been given a buff of Gu Ruoxue's gentle and refined demeanor.

Tang Rui: "!!"

No, we only need one person in the manor, like Sister Ju. We don't want another one!

Tang Rui patted her chubby little face, ignoring the oil stains on it, and immediately put on a happy expression as she ran into the house to start her "business": "Mother, I missed you so much!"

Hearing her voice, Qin Zhiyan snapped out of her reverie, forced a smile, and opened her arms to hug her. Her eyes still held a doting expression, but now held a hint of unreadable complexity: "Rui Rui, what brings you here? Did you listen attentively to Scholar Zhou's lectures today?"

"Yes!" Tang Rui said, her eyes wide open, "This afternoon I even learned embroidery from a female master, but unfortunately I didn't do it well. Mother, look at my fingers!"

As she spoke, she raised her two chubby little paws, four of which had tiny holes from needle pricks on each of her ten fingers.

"Ouch, you pricked your hand." Qin Zhiyan was extremely distressed and immediately asked Rong Mama to bring some ointment. While applying the ointment, she muttered to herself, "If you don't like embroidery, then don't learn it. You are a princess, you only need to learn how to manage the household. You don't need to be an embroiderer in the future."
