The Demon Queen of Divine Doctor is not to be trifled with

Chapter 348 What is the name of the mother-in-law?

When talking about his wife, Xiao Jue hesitated for a moment. He was not hesitant about whether to tell his wife, but he was just hesitant about whether to marry her.

This night had given him such a huge shock. Not only did he go up to Yanhua Mountain, but he also met Lord Emperor. Just from this point alone, he was already very satisfied. Moreover, Lord Emperor had spoken to him and taught him so many amazing medical skills. Wasn't he considered a person who had been blessed by Lord Emperor's magic?

It was enough to concentrate on studying medical skills in this life. Marrying a wife and having children was not as pleasant as studying medicine, and it was even a burden. He really didn't want a wife to hold him back on his medical path.

Seeing him hesitate, Bai Chuxiao thought he didn't know how to answer her question, and was a little unhappy for a moment. But thinking about it again, she felt that this was also human nature. After all, husband and wife are one body, and as long as two people decide to live together, they must be honest with each other and should not hide anything.

Furthermore, even if she could conceal it subjectively, what if she was careless? What if she talked in her sleep? She didn't know if Xiao Jue talked in his sleep, but she knew that sometimes if she dreamed of an overly intense scene, she would still shout a few times.

So this is unsafe and a big hidden danger.

Bai Chuxiao racked her brains and finally came up with an idea. She suddenly patted Xiao Jue, gritted her teeth, and said with an expression of sacrificing the greater good: "Brother, I know it's a bit difficult for you to hide this from your wife, and I will feel ashamed to face my future husband because of this secret, and I can't control myself from talking in my sleep. So how about this, you marry me, so that we don't have to worry about this matter, and it doesn't matter if I talk in my sleep in the future."

Xiao Jue was shocked. What kind of logic is this? To prevent the secret from being leaked, they have to marry each other? Is this junior sister crazy? But thinking about it again, it seems that what Bai Chuxiao said makes sense, and in order to keep such a big secret, it is totally worth the sacrifice they made. As for whether there is love or not, it doesn't really matter. Anyway, he has no one else in his heart. All women are the same to him. It doesn't matter who he marries in the future.

Moreover, in terms of the closeness of their relationship, after this night, Bai Chuxiao could be said to be the woman closest to him besides his mother. The words "senior brother and junior sister" meant that they were destined to be tied together for the rest of their lives.

As for the matter of devoting oneself to the study of medicine, it is better to study it together with someone rather than alone. It is such a pleasant thing to have a bosom friend in life, to be able to marry each other, and to discuss what you have learned with each other.

Besides, the Xiao and Bai families are old friends. His grandfather was a royal doctor in the palace, and he had been friends with the old royal doctor Bai for decades. Although he has passed away, his father still comes to Beijing every year and every festival to visit the Bai family. If he marries a girl from another family, his family may have to consider it and ask about her family background and character. But if he marries a girl from the Bai family, I am afraid his father will be so happy that he can't sleep, and he will have to bring the betrothal gifts to the door tomorrow.

Xiao Jue was a little happy when he thought about it, and even a little expectant. When he looked at Bai Chuxiao again, there was a different kind of affection in his eyes. He asked Bai Chuxiao: "Junior sister, when do you think it would be best for me to come and propose marriage?"

Bai Chuxiao was stunned by his question, "You agree now?"

Xiao Jue nodded, "I think Junior Sister's idea is very good. Only if you and I become husband and wife can this secret be guaranteed to be foolproof. Besides, the Xiao and Bai families are old friends. I have met your father and mother, and I work in the same Imperial Hospital with Old Doctor Bai. We are really acquaintances. As long as I talk to my family about this, they will definitely agree. As for your family... they shouldn't make it too difficult for me, right? Don't worry, the three letters and six ceremonies will not be missed. We will do whatever others do."

Bai Chuxiao started to panic. "I, I just made a suggestion. I didn't expect you to agree to it right now. How about you think about it again? Yes, think about it again!" After stuttering, Bai Chuxiao finally finished her words and turned to run. As a result, she ran in the wrong direction because she was too flustered and was pulled back by Xiao Jue.

"Junior sister, you are in the wrong place. The gate is this way."

Bai Chuxiao covered her face with her hands, and this time she finally managed to run away. However, because she ran too fast and covered her face too tightly, she could not see the road clearly, and ended up crashing into the mansion door with a bang.

Xiao Jue was too embarrassed to watch and subconsciously closed his eyes. When he came to his senses and wanted to go forward to help, he saw that the gate of the Bai Mansion was open and the servant at the gate was staring at her eldest daughter in a daze.

Xiao Jue quickly stepped forward to smooth things over for her: "We got up early and came back from the outer city. Your young lady didn't see the road clearly and bumped into the door. Help her in quickly!" He also reminded Bai Chuxiao, "Apply an ice towel to the bumped area for a while to reduce the swelling."

Bai Chuxiao stamped her feet and said, "You don't need to tell me! I know it myself." After that, she picked up her skirt and ran to the mansion. The servant of the Bai Mansion looked at Xiao Jue again and asked, "Who are you?"

Xiao Jue had never been to the Bai residence. In the past, his father would come to see the old doctor Bai during the festival. If he had anything to do, he would talk to the old doctor Bai in the Imperial Hospital. So to the servants of the Bai family, he was a very unfamiliar young man.

It was a bit worrying that a strange young man appeared with her own young lady at this hour.

So the servant said with a serious face, "Who are you?"

Just as Xiao Jue was about to introduce himself, he was suddenly dragged into the mansion by a very strong servant. "No matter who it is, arrest him first. Please forgive me, this matter is of great importance, we must report it to the master and the mistress!"

On this side, Xiao Jue was detained in Bai Mansion, and on the other side, Ye Wenyan was also detained in Yanhua Palace.

She was discussing with Lord Emperor: "It's already daybreak, I can't go back. Besides, I have something to do today. I have to take Master and Madam Shi to the government office, add some spiritual power to Ma Fei San, and tell my aunt to continue to go to the old lady's room to get information. So you see, I'm so busy, I really don't have time to play with you in Yanhua Palace."

Lord Emperor was very unhappy. "You came to me when you needed me, and then left me alone after you were done. Ah Yan, isn't your behavior too irresponsible? I feel very wronged."

"Oh." Ye Wenyan was happy, "Are you still feeling wronged? Then why don't you come home with me! Don't you also like to eat the dumplings made by my mother? I'll ask her to make them for you again, they are best when they are hot. By the way, it's not good to come empty-handed for your first visit, right? Think about what gifts you should bring, there may be some etiquette for the prospective son-in-law to meet his mother-in-law for the first time, right? Do you want to prepare the betrothal gifts first? By the way, Shi Liyuan, how much betrothal gifts are you going to give me? When my mother married into the Ye family, it was a real ten-mile red dowry. It is said that the disciple is better than the master, and I can't lose face when I come to you."

Shi Liyuan was in a state of panic. Although he had prepared the betrothal gifts, he would pack up all the things in Yanhua Palace and carry them to Ye's house. It would be more than ten miles away, but a hundred miles would be enough. But the prospective son-in-law meeting his mother-in-law made him a little nervous. He even couldn't figure out how to talk when they met, who should talk to whom first, and how to call himself.

So he gently pushed the little girl and said, "Go home quickly! There are still so many things waiting for you to do at home!"

The little girl narrowed her eyes, "Shi Liyuan, are you not going to marry me? Don't you want to meet my parents?"

"Nonsense! How could I not want to marry you? It's just that as for meeting your family... well, I'm not ready yet. I need to practice more on how to greet you politely. So, I'll discuss the etiquette with Lian Shi in the next few days. Once we've figured it out, I'll pay you a formal visit. How do you think?"

She nodded, "That's settled then!"

Finally sending the little girl away, Shi Liyuan heaved a sigh of relief. He wiped his forehead and realized that he was sweating. He hadn't sweated in years, so why did he sweat when he saw that damn girl Ye Wenyan?

Lord Emperor sat back on the jade chair, thought for a moment, and used the sound transmission technique to call Lian Shi in.

He asked Lian Shi: "If I meet Miss Ye Si's mother, what should I call her?"

Lian Shi didn't even think about it and answered casually: "Of course I call them by their names! You are the Emperor, and no matter what you call anyone in this world, the most respectful thing you can do to them is to call them by their names. After all, being called by your name by Your Majesty the Emperor is a blessing they will never receive in several lifetimes." He said this subconsciously, because this concept has been formed in the subconscious mind and it is difficult to change.

But the Emperor was not satisfied, "She is the mother of the future empress, you want me to call her by her name?"

Lian Shi was shocked. That's right, the mother of Fourth Miss Ye, that's the future mother-in-law of the Emperor. How could he call the mother-in-law by her name? He actually dared to give such a bad idea to the Emperor. Was he out of his mind? So he quickly changed his words: "Of course, the mother of the future empress cannot be treated equally. In my opinion, it's better to call her..." Lian Shi thought again and again, and finally came to the conclusion: "Why not just follow Fourth Miss and call her mother."

Shi Liyuan felt that he had asked the wrong person. Lian Shi was a eunuch, and there was no way a eunuch would understand such a thing. If he wanted to ask, he had to ask someone who had been there and had experience, so that he could get a satisfactory answer.

"Go and call Quan Qingcheng to me." The Lord Emperor said.

Lian Shi calculated the time and said, "The Emperor should be in court right now. I will go to the Chengguang Palace to guard him."

"I asked you to call someone over! What's the point of you guarding Chengguang Hall? Get out of here!" Lord Emperor waved his sleeves, and when Lian Shi came to his senses, he was already standing in the middle of Chengguang Hall...
