A little devil has arrived at the Marquis's mansion, and all the powerful officials in the cour

"Mother, if it's just a rumor, it's half true and half false. A three-year-old child suddenly appears and becomes famous in the capital. There must be someone behind it."

Su Chengxiao's tone was certain.

After listening, Madam Su felt that what he said made sense: "But Tangtang won't know how, she'll easily give herself away."

Su Chengxiao said, "It's no secret that Her Majesty the Empress is seeking medical help. All she wants is to have a child. We can collect many prescriptions and have Tangtang present them to her."

If she cures him well, the Marquis's mansion will surely rise to great heights; if she doesn't, she can't blame them.

Madam Su nodded.

In short, the Marquis's mansion cannot let go of this opportunity for immense wealth.

In the Su Mansion in the North Alley, all sorts of spirits finally gathered together, sipping fine wine, eating delicious food, and chatting for half the night.

"Grandpa Earth, Grandma Earth, this is roasted pigeon. It's fragrant, crispy, and delicious." Renbao held the roasted pigeon, looking at it again and again with great reluctance. But remembering her mother's teaching that she should share with those she liked, she closed her eyes and handed the pigeon over.

She can't see it, so she won't feel sorry for you!

The Earth Goddess took in her conflicted little expression and couldn't help but chuckle: "Little Yama, eat. Grandma is full."

As she spoke, she winked at the various spirits.

Be sensible, don't try to take it from the Little King of Hell!

The various underworld deities suppressed their laughter and said in unison, "Little Yama, eat up."

As the underworld deities of the human realm, people would bring fruits and meat dishes to worship them on the first and fifteenth of each lunar month, so they were never short of food.

Upon hearing this, Renbao's dark, grape-like eyes lit up, and his tone became cheerful: "Then I'll eat it!"

She bent down and took a big bite, letting out a loud "Ooh!"—it was so delicious! She declared, "Meatball is eating the most delicious food in the world!"

All the underworld deities looked at Renbao with loving eyes.

This is a little Yama King who has only been around for three hundred years in the underworld; he is a precious child they must watch grow up carefully.

"Renbao, Mother is coming in." Pei Yuru's voice came into the room.

Renbao exclaimed joyfully to the various spirits, "She is my mother!"

The various underworld deities rose to take their leave: "Little Yama, we'll come to see you again next time. Just call us if you need anything."

"If anyone dares to bully you, Grandma will be the first to not let them off easily!" The Earth Goddess slammed her cane heavily on the ground.

Renbao asked, puzzled, "Won't you see my mother? My mother is very kind."

The various underworld deities chuckled awkwardly.

Little Yama, you can't meet him like that!

Pei Yuru, not hearing a response, smiled and said, "The sun's already high in the sky, time to get up, Renbao."

She gently pushed the door open and entered, and was completely stunned by what she saw inside.

The table was covered with a dense array of food, and the edges of the table and the floor were littered with the ashes of incense sticks and candles.

Pei Yuru's expression was somewhat complicated, and a sense of guilt rose in her heart. Renbao's appetite seemed to be naturally larger than that of ordinary children. Had she been too restrictive of her during the day, so that Renbao had to secretly hide food to eat at night?

"Madam." Upon seeing this, Bai Zhi's pupils contracted slightly, and she looked at Pei Yuru with surprise and suspicion.

Pei Yuru shushed her, tiptoed to the bed, and sat down on the edge of the bed.

Renbao, huddled under the covers, arched his backside and mumbled, "Mommy, I'm asleep!"

Pei Yuru chuckled and patted her little bottom: "Can Renbao get up now?"

Renbao poked her head out from under the covers, her soft hair disheveled, her delicate face flushed, and there was grease on the corner of her mouth—it was obvious she had sneaked a bite.

Renbao stretched and threw himself into Pei Yuru's arms: "Okay, Mother."

"Madam, Miss." Tao Xiang came in with warm water at this moment. She didn't seem to mind the mess in the room. She wrung out a handkerchief and wanted to wipe Ren Bao's face.

Pei Yuru took it: "I'll do it."

Renbao tilted her head back and obediently let Pei Yuru wash her little face.

Pei Yuru asked softly, "Was Renbao hungry last night?"

Renbao opened his eyes and looked at her innocently: "No!"

The Earth Goddess specifically instructed that they must not tell anyone that they had come to see her, especially "people".

"Renbao has been sleeping the whole time," Renbao said, snuggling against her and acting coquettishly.

Pei Yuru chuckled, pulled her into her arms, and patiently said, "Renbao doesn't need to hide anything if she wants to eat. She can eat whatever she wants, but she can't play with incense. If it falls on the ground, it can easily start a fire and burn the house down."

Renbao was stunned. She shook her head: "But if we don't light incense, we won't be able to eat anything."

Only when incense is lit can the spirits, ghost messengers, and the dead eat the offerings and sacrifices made by the human world.

Pei Yuru thought that Renbao might not have understood, so she put it another way: "Renbao is a person, he can eat without burning incense. Like yesterday when you ate the crispy mountain at the restaurant, you didn't burn any incense, did you?"

Renbao, realizing she couldn't reveal the identity of the Earth Goddess and the others, thought for a moment: "Renbao is both a human and a ghost, a Little Yama Ghost!"

She grinned, spreading her five fingers, looking both cute and fierce.

Pei Yuru: "........"

In addition to her habit of being a little devil, her daughter has now developed another habit: being a ghost.

Meanwhile, Su Tang had already entered the palace with Granny Cui.

Upon entering the Zhaoyi Palace, Su Tang dared not let her eyes wander, constantly remembering Old Madam Su's instructions to be dignified and poised.

She stood in the main hall, her voice still childish: "Tangtang greets Your Majesty."

When the Empress saw Su Tang, a hint of disappointment flashed in her eyes.

Su Tang's demeanor did appear poised and elegant, but it was too formal, lacking the childlike innocence unique to a three-year-old child, and also lacking any spark of intelligence. It was clear at a glance that her manners and etiquette were carefully cultivated by an adult.

The little miracle doctor in her mind shouldn't be like this.

The Empress smiled and beckoned to Su Tang: "Tangtang, come here."

Su Tang had been raised by the old lady Su's side since childhood and was very good at reading people. She did not miss the disappointment in the Empress's eyes. Her lips pursed slightly, and she felt a little scared and aggrieved.

But her uncle told her...

If she could win the Empress's favor, she could stay in the Marquis's mansion as a young lady forever; otherwise, she would be sent back to the countryside.

Su Tang sat down in front of the Empress and tried her best to repeat what Su Chengxiao had taught her: "Your Majesty summoned Tangtang to the palace, but it is for the sake of having offspring. Your Majesty can give Tangtang your hand."

The Empress was pleasantly surprised, not expecting that three-year-old Su Tang would understand her intentions before she even spoke.

Perhaps Homo sapiens are precocious.

"Not bad," the Empress's smile became much more genuine as she extended her hand to Su Tang, "I'll trouble you, little divine physician, to take a look at me."

Su Tang placed her fingers on her wrist, looking quite professional.

In fact, any imperial physician would have known that Su Tang hadn't even located her pulse.

After a moment, Su Tang said, "I can cure Her Majesty the Empress's illness, but I cannot write, so the prescription needs to be written down."

The queen was overjoyed.

Su Tang presented the prescription, and to be on the safe side, she specifically consulted Physician Xu of the Imperial Medical Academy. Only after receiving his approval did she take it to be decocted.

Su Tang gained the Empress's favor, and the news of her becoming the rumored little miracle doctor spread, causing a bustling scene of carriages and horses at the Marquis's mansion.

Feeling honored, Madam Su specially sent someone to tell Su Xuance and his wife to come back and apologize as soon as possible.

Su Xuance refused outright.

Pei Yuru seemed lost in thought and called out to the steward, "Has something happened in the manor?"
