The Regent Princess has run away again

Xue Zhiyu was not in a hurry. She picked up the cup and drank a sip of water. Seeing that her cheap father refused, she was expecting it. She put down the cup and said to Xue Yulu, "Second sister, you can just say this at home. If outsiders hear it, wouldn't it give the censors a chance to criticize my father for being superstitious and not managing the inner house well? I know that second sister has always disliked me, but it shouldn't be that serious..."

"You're talking nonsense! I didn't!! Father, please believe me, I definitely don't have that kind of thought," Xue Yulu said anxiously, with a look in her eyes as if she wanted to eat her up. She then turned around and looked at Prime Minister Xue anxiously.

Xue Zhiyu laughed secretly in her heart. He was indeed a little brat. Didn't he know what it meant to be trying to cover up one's own faults? By saying this, wasn't it the same as telling his cheap dad what kind of thoughts he had? Tsk tsk tsk, there was something to watch next.

Xue Yulu did not find anything wrong with what she said. Instead, Madam Xue frowned and secretly glanced at the master's face. She could not help but feel a little nervous and had to be the first to scold her, "Enough! Don't listen to those gossips in the future."

Xue Yulu has always been afraid of her mother, so she had to give up after hearing her mother's scolding. Her resentment towards Xue Zhiyu became even stronger.

"Master, let's have dinner."

"Well, let's have dinner."

Only after Prime Minister Xue finished speaking did they dare to pick up their chopsticks and start eating.

Xue Zhiyu didn't think it was just a simple meal. There must be something waiting for her, so she would just deal with it accordingly.

Not long after the meal, Madam Xue seemed to notice the white gauze tied around her head. She exclaimed and asked with concern, "Hey, how come Zhiyu's head is injured? Did you bump into something?"

Before Xue Zhiyu could say anything, Xue Yulu spoke first, "Mother, you don't know, she was so upset after being rejected by Mr. Zhao. She knew that Mr. Zhao liked my eldest sister, but she still shamelessly did those things. It really brought shame to father."

After Xue Yulu finished speaking, she said to Xue Yumei beside her with a hint of joking, "Sister, you are so lucky to have a man as gentle and considerate as Mr. Zhao. But sister, you are proficient in chess, piano, calligraphy and painting. You are not like some useless person who knows nothing and dares to pester Mr. Zhao."

The look in her eyes was staring at her blatantly, and the meaning was very clear. She was really... a little brat. Xue Zhiyu continued to eat with her head down, so she decided to just ignore her words.

Although Xue Yumei didn't show it, the smugness in her eyes showed that she was very satisfied with the flattery.

Mrs. Xue pretended to be surprised and put down her chopsticks, then spoke to Prime Minister Xue in a serious tone, "Master, why don't we hire a female teacher for Zhiyu. She is about to reach her 15th birthday, and she needs to learn some etiquette. I was negligent in educating her before, and she doesn't like to study very much. I am really ashamed of myself." After saying that, she picked up a handkerchief and wiped away the tears that had flowed down her face at some point.

"Well, I think it is necessary. Let's decide it this way."

Seeing that they were acting as if they were directing and performing the show themselves, Xue Zhiyu put down her chopsticks and sneered in her heart. It sounded nice to call them female teachers, but in fact they were just people who monitored her. It was indeed difficult to refute such an excuse, so she would have to see what kind of person they would find for her.

"Thank you for remembering me, mother. But there's a draft in the house. Could you ask someone to fix it?"

"Okay, okay, I'll have someone fix it for you later. If you need anything, just tell the servants. I don't think they'll be brave enough to neglect you."

Xue Zhiyu looked very touched and spoke slowly, "So that's how it is. I...thought that mother didn't like me and none of the servants listened to me." At the end, she looked at Madam Xue cautiously, as if she was afraid that she would be angry, which made Madam Xue feel panicked.

Prime Minister Xue Jingzhong was no fool, so he naturally realized what was going on. He snorted coldly and looked at Madam Xue with a bit of dissatisfaction, "See how you manage the household!! If outsiders knew that I treat my legitimate and illegitimate daughters differently, wouldn't that give the censors a chance to report me?!"

"Master, I......"

"Everyone go away. I'll send someone to fix up Zhiyu's house and see if there's anything else she needs," Xue Jingzhong said, then he flicked his sleeves, stood up and walked out of the front hall without looking back.

Mrs. Xue could no longer sit still, and hurriedly followed. When she passed by Xue Zhiyu, a stern look flashed in her eyes. Damn it, wouldn't it have been better if she had been a coward all the time? She really regretted not dealing with it directly at the beginning.

Only the three Xue sisters were left in the front hall. Xue Zhiyu stretched her back and felt a little sleepy. "Sisters, I'm going to go back first. You guys take your time."

"You are just the daughter of a lowly servant. You should be grateful for having me at your table. How dare you be so disrespectful to your mother?"

"Sister, you'd better pour out the water in your brain quickly, otherwise it will affect the development of your brain."

Xue Zhiyu knew without even looking that Xue Yulu was about to go crazy because of her. She started to make her own plans in her mind and walked out quickly towards her own bedroom.

Xiao Qiu was waiting outside, watching her young lady walk so quickly. She looked at the front hall in confusion, and when she saw Xue Yulu's ferocious face, she almost laughed out loud and hurriedly caught up with Xue Zhiyu.

"Miss, Miss, I wonder if you have seen the expression on Second Miss's face. I never thought that she would have this day," Xiao Qiu followed behind her, chattering about what she had just seen.

Seeing Xiaoqiu so cheerful and a little bit unbelievable, Xue Zhiyu felt helpless and amused, but she said nothing and continued to walk quickly towards the bedroom.

After returning to the bedroom, Xue Zhiyu asked Xiaoqiu to wait outside and call her if there was anything. Then she closed the door and tapped the bracelet on her hand.

"Master, you are here, you..."

"Don't talk nonsense. Let me ask you, is the supply of medicine here unlimited or what?"

007 felt annoyed at being interrupted, pouted and said, "It's an unlimited supply, except for some rare medicinal herbs that can only be obtained by completing certain tasks."

"That's fine," Xue Zhiyu looked at the medicine cabinets thoughtfully. Her current situation could be said to be very passive. She had no money, no power, and no connections. She had nothing.

"Master, what do you want?"

"Yes, I want to open a clinic. After all, I am too weak now and nothing," Xue Zhiyu said this, thinking of her mother and her own situation, as well as the ugly faces of the mother and daughter.

007 thought about it, and as if he had thought of something, he mysteriously took out something that looked like a map from his sleeve and handed it over, "Here, this is the business map here, you can take a look."

Xue Zhiyu took the paper and saw that it was divided into several areas. She pointed at one of them and asked in confusion, "Where is this?"

"Oh, you mean this place? This is where all the residents with long-term illnesses are gathered and left to fend for themselves."

Although Xue Zhiyu understood this approach, as a doctor, she would do her best to save the patient as long as there was a glimmer of hope. However, in this backward ancient time, a small fever could take a person's life, not to mention other difficult and complicated diseases.

“I want to open a clinic here.”

"Hmm...ah?! Are you crazy?! There are people with chronic diseases over there, and some of them are contagious. Aren't you going to die?!"

007 looked at her with an expression of confusion. Xue Zhiyu said slowly, "It is because no one cares about them that I want to go, because I am a doctor."

"...........Well, go ahead, go ahead. I really admire you," 007 stared at her for a while, and when he realized that he could not convince her, he sighed helplessly.

"Okay, I'll take your map for now. I need to go back and think about it carefully. I'll come back to you if I have anything else." After saying that, he left this space without looking back.

After Xue Zhiyu's back disappeared, 007 turned around and shrugged at the person with his back to him, "You're right, she will really go to that place."

"She has always been like this. Once she makes up her mind, even ten cows can't change her mind."

"Alas, my lord, why did you choose her in the first place? There is nothing special about her, except that she is rather stubborn."

"You'll know when the time comes. Remember, assist her well. I'm leaving first," the man said, waving his sleeves and disappeared, leaving 007 who was still very confused.

After thinking for a while, he still couldn't figure it out, but he knew that the adults would not choose people casually, there must be his reasons, anyway, he just had to assist her well.
