The old princess leaned close to Shi Wanwan's ear and said, "Xuanzhi has been very naughty since he was young. He relies on his superior talent to always bully his two brothers."

"Daughter-in-law, let me be honest with you. No matter what happens between you two, I will always stand by you."

"You left your parents and married into our family. You've already been wronged. I can't let you suffer any more."

Shi Wanwan met the old princess's smiling eyes, and her heart felt inexplicably warm.

She knew that even when a person was crazy and lost his mind, what he said was often what he really thought.

Shi Wanwan felt that the old princess must have been an extremely good person before she went crazy.

She likes the old princess very much.

She nodded seriously: "Yeah, you're right!"

The old princess smiled brightly when she heard this: "My daughter-in-law is so beautiful!"

Shi Wanwan said gently, "Daughter-in-law sounds a bit awkward. My name is Wanwan, so you can just call me Wanwan."

The old princess nodded and said, "Daughter-in-law Wanwan, my name is Qiu Yinong. You can just call me Yinong from now on."

Shi Wanwan: "...Isn't it inappropriate to call you that?"

Qiu Yinong laughed heartily: "What's inappropriate about this? Many people are bound by worldly concerns, putting on airs and sticking to rules, and their lives are exhausting."

"I don't want to live such a tiring life, nor do I want to act like a mother-in-law. I just want my daughter-in-law Wanwan to be happy to see me every day."

It was the first time that Shi Wanwan heard such words. She didn't know what kind of person Qiu Yinong was when he was not crazy, but what she saw now was a very insightful person.

She pursed her lips and smiled: "I am very happy now."

After she finished speaking, she glanced at Xie Xuanzhi who was standing beside her and raised her eyebrows at him.

Qiu Yinong smiled, his eyebrows curved. "Don't look at him. It doesn't matter if he disagrees, because this is our business and has nothing to do with him."

Xie Xuanzhi nodded: "Mother is right."

Shi Wanwan said, "Okay, Yi Nong."

When Qiu Yinong heard her call her like that, her eyes were filled with smiles: "It's been a long time since anyone called me like that. The last time someone called me like that was Ling Ran..."

"Uh, where's Ling Ran? Where did he go? I haven't seen him in a long time!"

After she finished speaking, she was about to get up and look for someone. Xie Xuanzhi hurriedly said, "Mother, have you forgotten? Father went to Qi County to pick your favorite raspberries for you. He won't be back for a few days."

Qiu Yinong thought about it carefully, but couldn't figure it out, so he said, "Is that so? Then I'll wait a little longer."

Shi Wanwan knew that it had been eight years since King Lao Chong died in battle. She didn't know when Qiu Yinong went crazy. If Qiu Yinong went crazy at that time, she had been waiting for him for eight years.

Shi Wanwan took Qiu Yinong's hand and said, "Yinong, I'm a little hungry. Can we go to the kitchen together to make something delicious?"

Qiu Yinong's attention was immediately diverted: "Okay, I'll make you a thousand-layer pastry. The thousand-layer pastry I make is delicious!"

Shi Wanwan gently placed her hand on Qiu Yinong's wrist and took her pulse, already having a general idea of the treatment direction in mind.

When Shi Wanwan and Qiu Yinong went to the kitchen, Ye Qingcheng asked with a gossipy look on his face, "Your Highness, what's going on?"

Xie Xuanzhi said calmly, "The princess is the doctor I invited to treat my mother. No matter what she wants, you must fully cooperate."

Ye Qingcheng was very surprised: "The princess also knows medicine? I have never heard of it!"

Xie Xuanzhi looked at him and said, "You like to weave straw ropes. Apart from me, few people in the capital know about this."

Ye Qingcheng: "..."

He knew that these people in the capital were not simple, not to mention that each of them had eight hundred minds.

Shi Wanwan's relationship with everyone in the Shi Mansion is not very good, so it is reasonable for her to be reserved about her abilities.

But she was too young, and Ye Qingcheng felt that even if she knew medical skills, they would probably not be very advanced.

But it doesn’t matter whether her medical skills are good or not. What matters is that she often comes to the palace and it is easy for her to develop feelings with Xie Xuanzhi.

This afternoon, Shi Wanwan and Qiu Yinong stayed in the kitchen.

Qiu Yinong kneaded the dough and said, "Daughter-in-law Wanwan, bring me another handful of flour."

Shi Wanwan: "Yinong, just call me Wanwan, no need to add the first three characters."

Qiu Yinong nodded: "Okay, daughter-in-law Wanwan."

Shi Wanwan: “…”

She reminded Qiu Yinong at least ten times throughout the afternoon, and Qiu Yinong agreed to every request, but subconsciously called her "daughter-in-law Wanwan".

Shi Wanwan was completely numb from being called out.

Later on, she was too lazy to correct herself and just gave up!

But to be honest, the thousand-layer pastry made by Qiu Yinong is indeed very delicious.

In the evening, Qiu Yinongfei took Shi Wanwan to have dinner together at the palace. Xie Xuanzhi was there to accompany them. With Qiu Yinong there, the atmosphere was very good.

Qiu Yinong winked at Xie Xuanzhi: "Pick up some food for your wife. You're so inconsiderate. Be careful that your wife won't want you!"

Xie Xuanzhi used the serving chopsticks to pick up a piece of food for Shi Wanwan: "Wife, eat more."

Shi Wanwan: “…”

She was giving up, but when she heard Xie Xuanzhi calling her like that, goosebumps still appeared uncontrollably all over her body.

Xie Xuanzhi saw her look of disgust, and then thought about how she was talking and laughing with Shen Yi, and he felt a little uncomfortable.

After finishing the meal, Qiu Yinong went to sleep. When she left, she said to Xie Xuanzhi: "Be nice to your wife, or I'll beat you up!"

Xie Xuanzhi nodded, and Qiu Yinong said, "Don't be like your father, always with a stern face. Be a little sweeter. I want to have grandchildren soon."

Xie Xuanzhi: “…Okay.”

Qiu Yinong then returned to her room to rest with satisfaction.

Xie Xuanzhi turned around and saw Shi Wanwan looking at him with a playful expression. He suddenly realized something:

He was a dying man and it was impossible for him to marry and have children in this life.

Even if he had feelings for her that he shouldn't have, he was just a passer-by in her life.

She is not obsessed with her old love for Lu Xingzhi. It is a good thing to find a man who is good to her and whom she likes.

He has no right to be angry, nor is he qualified to be angry.

He asked, "Can my mother's illness be cured?"

Shi Wanwan replied, "Yes, but before I start, I have a few questions."

Xie Xuanzhi nodded: "Princess, please ask."

Shi Wanwan clearly felt that his aura had calmed down again and felt that he was still communicable.

She then asked, "How is the relationship between your father and mother?"

Xie Xuanzhi nodded: "Excellent. As far as I can remember, my father doted on my mother and we never had a quarrel."

"If there's a disagreement between the two of them, it's always Father who compromises."

Shi Wanwan felt that Lao Chongwang was a truly excellent man, and she envied Qiu Yinong very much.

She continued to ask: "When did the old princess become ill?"

Xie Xuanzhi replied, "When my mother saw my father and brother die in battle, she fainted on the spot and was confused when she woke up."

"After that, she forgot everything about her father and brother. She would occasionally bring it up and make excuses to get over it. She wouldn't pursue it too much."
