After everyone had finished their meal, Shu Bai brought up a box and carefully placed it on the table.

"What is this?" Xie Songlin looked at the box, puzzled.

"This is the medical fee that the princess gave to Miss Xie." Shu Bai said, and gently opened the box. Inside was a whole box of golden ingots. Under the sunlight, they reflected a dazzling light, making it difficult for people to open their eyes.

Is this real gold? Xie Wanxing was stunned. Then what was the gold hairpin that Tang Ze just gave her?

"Eldest Princess? Which eldest princess?" Xie Songlin suddenly felt that he couldn't understand anything. His brows were tightly furrowed, and he thought quickly in his mind, but he couldn't figure out the connection between this eldest princess and his daughter.

"Probably, senior brother's mother?" Xie Wanxing tilted her head and said uncertainly. Two days ago, she seemed to hear her teacher and other friends talking about senior brother and also mentioned the eldest princess.

Tang Ze nodded. "My mother was so grateful when she heard that Junior Sister cured me that she prepared this small gift. I hope my uncle, aunt, and Junior Sister won't despise it."

Xie Songlin looked at the box full of gold ingots and said, "Master Tang, this... isn't this consultation fee a bit too much? Ah Xing treated you not only because she plans to become a doctor in the future, but also because of our friendship as fellow disciples. How could you accept such a generous gift?"

"Okay, okay, I'll take it." Xie Wanxing's eyes lit up, and without waiting for others to react, she closed the box. In her opinion, the consultation fee had to be collected anyway, so why bother pushing it back and forth here? It was really a waste of time. She looked at Tang Ze with a smile and said, "Brother, please thank your mother for me. I have such qualifications now, thank you for not despising me and being willing to believe in me. I will definitely treat you well.

"But my father is right. This amount of money is too much for medical treatment. I will accept the money and take a portion of it. I will use the rest for charity and let others appreciate the princess's kindness."

Tang Ze nodded slightly, a smile flashing in his eyes. He had long expected Xie Wanxing to be informal, and such a decisive move was in line with her character. He said softly, "Junior Sister is kind-hearted. This arrangement is very good. Mother will naturally not object."

Because it would take two days to clean the house and buy furniture, and as a younger generation, Tang Ze needed to go back and inform his mother in detail when he left home to live somewhere else.

When Shu Bai thought about telling the princess that Tang Ze was going to move to Shuwei Village, he started to have doubts. He felt that this would be as devastating as an earthquake for the princess.

After all, the princess has always been very caring towards Tang Ze, and Tang Ze has such a quirk. Living in a farmer's home in the countryside is really beyond imagination. Although Boss Xie is certainly not an ordinary farmer and his family seems to have no shortage of money, it is indeed far behind the princess's mansion.

However, Tang Ze had great confidence in his mother, so he made an appointment with Xie Wanxing to meet at Baohe Hall at noon three days later, and then he would go back to Shuwei Village with her.

After Xie Wanxing had dinner and said goodbye to Tang Ze, she went home with Xie Ning. When she got home, she told her teacher the news. Upon hearing this, Mr. Yu raised his eyebrows slightly, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and asked, "Did Xiaoze agree?"

"I agree." Xie Wanxing nodded with a smile, and then handed a peeled orange to her teacher. She looked a little proud, as if she had accomplished something great.

"He actually agreed!" Mr. Yu took the orange in disbelief, shook his head slightly, and asked as he ate, "Can you really cure his quirk?"

"Should... be okay?" Xie Wanxing paused while peeling the oranges and explained, "His condition is actually a mental illness. It's different from ordinary illnesses. The key isn't to give him medication, but to adjust his mental state. Medication is just a supplement. I just wanted to try it that day, but I didn't expect him to be so resistant to me."

At this point, she tilted her head slightly, a thoughtful look on her face. "Could it be because I'm just a child compared to those imperial doctors? He's not on guard against me, so that's why this happens? But he doesn't want to touch Ayao either."

"If you can cure him, Xing, it would be a great success."

Xie Wanxing thought for a moment and raised his head again, a hint of caution in his eyes. His voice unconsciously softened as he asked, "Teacher, is Senior Brother's mother... the eldest princess?"

"Well, you know?" Mr. Yu nodded casually with a calm expression on his face. It was obvious that he had no intention of hiding anything. In his opinion, it was only a matter of time before Xie Wanxing knew about this.

"The eldest princess is? The emperor's sister?" Xie Wanxing tilted his head.

"His mother is the current emperor's full sister, Princess Jing'an." Mr. Yu picked up his teacup, took a sip gracefully, then set it down and continued, "His father is the Duke of Jin, a sinecure, but one with considerable prestige among the scholars of Dajing. Xiaoze is their only son."

"So impressive?" Xie Wanxing was genuinely surprised. She chuckled, a sly glint in her eyes, and asked with a hint of curiosity, "What about you, teacher?"

"Me?" Mr. Yu waved his hand and said calmly, "I'm just a teacher. I had some friendship with Duke Jin in my early years, and since Xiaoze was smart and studious, I took him in as my apprentice."

"Then, if you come to live in my house, there shouldn't be any problems with the Princess, right?"

"Based on my understanding of the princess, it's not a big problem." Mr. Yu pondered for a moment, tapping his fingers lightly on the table. After thinking for a moment, he said, "But hearing that Xiaoze is going to live in your house, you should be shocked."

Princess Jing'an was indeed shocked.

When Tang Ze told her, she was holding a cup of tea. Her hand trembled violently, and a few drops of tea splashed out and fell on her brocade sleeve embroidered with peonies. "What did you say?"

Her voice unconsciously rose, her eyes full of disbelief, "Where did you say you were going?"

Tang Ze repeated, "Mother, I plan to move to Shuwei Village. My teacher is there, so I won't have to worry about my studies."

"Of course I'm not worried about your studies, I'm worried about you..." The eldest princess shook her head, her face full of worry.

"I think the treatment method Junior Sister mentioned is effective. Mother, please rest assured. I will take good care of myself."

The eldest princess frowned slightly, the worry in her eyes not dissipating. Her eyes seemed to be shrouded in a layer of haze, and her fingers tapped unconsciously on the armrest. After a long time, she finally sighed and nodded helplessly: "Alright, since you think it's useful, then go ahead. Shubai, go and pack the things for the young master."

"Yes, Princess." Shu Bai's reply came from outside the door, followed by the sound of hurried footsteps.
