After Zhuang Xiang left, the tears that Mei Xueer had been holding back for a long time burst out in an instant.

She bit her lower lip and tried to hold it together. Her tear-filled eyes were wide open and her red nostrils flared.

"Miss, if you want to cry, just cry." Nanxing hugged her tightly.

"Who said I wanted to cry?" Mei Xue'er sobbed, "I am happy. We are finally divorced. I am so happy. Look, I am crying with joy."

"Miss, please don't be like this." Nan Xing's eyes also turned red, "If you feel uncomfortable, don't hold it in. It's harmful to your health."

"Yes, Princess, don't pretend to be strong. Even though the prince despises you, you still have us. We don't despise you..."

"Can you speak or not?" Nan Xing slapped Wen Bing on the head, "If you can't, then shut up!"

"I'm telling the truth. Also, don't hit me on the head at every turn. I'm a smart person, but you've made me stupid." Wen Bing felt aggrieved. Seeing that Nanxing was still glaring at him, he looked at Wen Jia pitifully.

Wen Jia: "Well, you are stupid..."

"Stop it...you two are idiots!" Seeing Nanxing's look of disgust, Wen Jia and Wen Bing walked away in shame.

"Nanxing, I want to go out for a walk..." After a long time, Mei Xueer stopped crying.

She shook her head, washed her face again, and felt revived.

Isn't he just a dog prince? Why should he affect my mood?

"I want to go out and buy some herbs. The place is so messy right now, I need to make some life-saving pills. If anything goes wrong, I'll be prepared, right?" She said to Nanxing, "I've suddenly figured out a recipe these days that can poison many people at once, but I need to find all the herbs to test its efficacy."

"Miss, give me the prescription and let me go! You just rest here."

"Forget it. It's better for me to pick the herbs myself."

As soon as Mei Xueer and Nan Xing went out, Wen Jia and Wen Bing followed quietly.

Damn it, I can finally do what a secret guard should do.

As soon as he left the casino, Wen Jia found someone following him.

This pattern looks familiar; it's the secret guards of Prince Jing's Mansion.

He breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that the prince still cared about the princess.

Mei Xueer went to several large pharmacies, but because she was short of money, she only bought a small amount.

When the master and servant were walking back, they suddenly heard a surprised voice, "Miss, I haven't seen you for a long time?"

This voice is very familiar.

Nanxing turned her head and saw a burly man holding a butcher knife in one hand and a young man who was half a head taller than him in the other, looking at her with a smile.

"Shi Laosan?" Nanxing walked over in surprise, "Why, no pork for sale today?"

"It's almost New Year, business is good. We've sold out everything except pig intestines today." Shi Lao San grinned and raised the knife in his hand, "This morning, this little bastard took advantage of me not paying attention and chopped the stone with the knife. Now the blade is bent and can't be sharpened. I'm going to buy a new one."

"Miss, this is the Shi Laosan who sells pork that I often tell you about." Nanxing said, turning around.

Mei Xueer walked over and nodded slightly to Shi Lao San.

The girl in front of him was obviously of noble status and she even nodded and smiled at him. Shi Laosan was flattered and didn't know what to do with his hands and feet. He could only nod and bow continuously.

The brand new butcher knife kept waving in front of Mei Xueer.

Mei Xueer suppressed her smile and looked at the man he was holding in his other hand.

This should be the fool that Nanxing mentioned.

She still remembered Nanxing saying that Shi Laosan was an honest man. He would always scrape off the dirt from the pig's large intestine bit by bit before selling it to Nanxing.

She had said that she would take a look at her son's illness, but she was so busy that she forgot about it.

"Is this your son?..." Mei Xueer reached out to pull the man.

As soon as the man gave her a silly smile, he was pulled behind him by his father.

He hid behind Shi Laosan, poking his head out and looking at the girl in front of him.

Some fear, some curiosity.

Shi Lao San said awkwardly, "He is dirty, please don't dirty your hands."

"It's okay. Can I see him?" Mei Xueer asked.

"Brother Shi, my young lady is a very nice person with excellent medical skills. Maybe she can cure your son." Nanxing comforted him.

"This..." Shi Lao San's eyes flashed with surprise, but he was also a little uneasy, "How can this be possible? How dare you let the noble treat this bastard?"

"All people are born equal, so why should there be a distinction between the noble and the humble? Besides, I am a doctor, so what's wrong with me treating patients?"

Shi Laosan's nose felt sore when he heard this. "Well, if you don't mind, you can come to my house and have a seat. It's not far, we'll be there in a moment." He said while pointing to a row of dilapidated houses in the distance.

Shi Laosan's home is next to this row of houses, with a small courtyard. Although it is shabby, the things are neatly arranged.

There was blood on the ground from slaughtering pigs, mixed with snow water, and frozen into ice at the corners.

But the area in the middle was cleaned thoroughly.

Shi Lao San was a little embarrassed. "His mother has been ill for many years, so this house doesn't feel like a home. If you don't mind, please come in and sit down."

Logically speaking, selling meat should allow this family to live a decent life, but Shi Laosan's house is shabby, but still relatively clean and tidy.

Seeing the woman lying on the bed, Mei Xueer finally understood why Shi Laosan was so poor.

She was a blind woman with broken legs.

But the bedding on the bed was washed clean and there was no smell at all.

It was obvious that this woman was well taken care of.

As soon as the silly son entered the house, he threw himself on the woman and said, "Mom, I went to sell meat with Dad today. You are alone at home. Is it fun?"

"Come to think of it, it all happened twenty years ago." Shi Laosan looked at the mother and son, sighed, and told the story.

"A few years ago, she fled with her husband. On the way, they met some bad guys. They killed her husband just to take the last piece of bread from them. Her legs were bitten by poisonous snakes and she fell to the side of the road, dying. I went to the mountains to collect pigs and happened to meet her, so I saved her. Anyway, I was a bachelor, so I just made do with my life."

"At that time, my family was even poorer than it is now, and we had no money to detoxify and treat her legs. To save her life, I had no choice but to tie her to a wooden stool and use a butcher knife to stomp off her legs..."

Just tie him up like this and then stomp his legs off?

Mei Xueer's heart twitched when she heard this.

Shi Laosan continued, "Although her life was saved, the snake venom was not completely eliminated, and she could no longer see. Later, she found out that she was pregnant with the man she had been with before. The child was lucky in the womb. She didn't fall out after all the suffering she had gone through. But her brain..."

What? It turns out that this stupid son is not Shi Lao San's biological son!
