I'm already dressed like a fool, what's wrong with taking the regent into the bridal chamb

The news that she accepted Chang Baicao as her disciple quickly spread throughout the capital. Many people knew Chang Baicao's fame, so they laughed at her for overestimating her abilities.

During this period, Wen Qingzhi has been at home, sorting out the fields and shops that Butler Wang and others had taken back, planning to deal with them in a unified manner after taking them all back.

Chang Baicao and Wang Yi would come over almost every day and ask questions.

In return, Chang Baicao taught Wen Qingzhi everything he had learned throughout his life without reservation, and even gave Wen Qingzhi the Poison Sutra that he had spent his entire life writing.

After Wang Yi knew about this, he was not jealous, but felt that the Poison Sutra could play a greater role in Wen Qingzhi's hands.

After Wen Qingzhi read the Poison Sutra carefully, she felt that Chang Baicao was indeed a promising talent.

She had never seen some of the poisons mentioned above. She understood the principles of mutual promotion and mutual restraint, and mutual assistance, but she also realized that these poisons could also complement each other.

She spent the whole day reading the Book of Poisons, while Chang Baicao and the other person practiced knife skills all day. After about half a month, they had become proficient in suturing some minor wounds.

In just half a month, the outline of Wen Qingzhi's courtyard has emerged.

In fact, the picture she drew was very simple, with the main courtyard where she lived and several clinic rooms.

She wanted to build a small, simple 'hospital'.

"girl!"

Chunyu ran in, holding a basket of fruits, "Young Master Xiao wants to see you."

"The Xiao family?"

Wen Qingzhi looked up from reading the scriptures, a puzzled look on her face.

"It's the master of the house."

Han Yan reminded.

"Oh……"

Then I remembered that it was Xiao Yi.

He had helped her before, so Wen Qingzhi naturally wouldn't refuse to see him. "What does he want me to do?"

"He said he wanted to ask about the girl's health. If she's better, he'll let Han Shuo and Han Yan go back. He has something he needs them to take care of."

Wen Qingzhi suddenly realized that the two brothers had been living in her house for a long time and it was time to return them to Xiao Yi.

"Um…"

She nodded and looked at Han Yan, "Then you can go back."

"Yes."

Han Yan was a little reluctant to leave, but since his master had come to him for something, it must be no small matter.

"Miss, is there anything I need to convey to the Master?"

Han Shuo stood there and looked over.

He knew his master's thoughts and had wanted to come for a long time, but unfortunately he could not find a suitable reason.

Now that Miss Wen is the only one left in the Wen family, it would be inconvenient for a man from outside to come here, and it would also cause unnecessary misunderstandings and arguments.

Wen Qingzhi had just broken off the engagement, and this was just a topic of conversation among others after dinner. He couldn't let her get into an awkward situation again.

Of course, Wen Qingzhi didn't know about these little thoughts.

Therefore, Han Shuo said something extra.

Hearing him ask this, Wen Qingzhi did realize that she had been a little rude.

Xiao Yi has helped me a lot. I have been busy for so long that I didn’t even have the chance to thank him.

I have some free time now, so I might as well take this opportunity to settle this matter.

"Chunyu, please invite them in and have a cup of tea."

"Yes."

Xiao Yi, who was waiting outside the door, was invited in. When he arrived at Wen Qingzhi's yard, he saw Wen Qingzhi reading.

She didn't comb her hair today, and her long black hair was scattered on her lower back. She was looking at the book in her hand intently and seriously.

Today, Wen Qingzhi wore a goose yellow jacket with a moon-white skirt embroidered with colorful butterflies, which made her look lively and smart.

She had a beautiful face and eyes that were filled with a hint of coldness. She looked as if she had experienced life and death and was indifferent to everything.

"Miss, Master Xiao is here."

Chunyu brought people over to check the tea, and then stood behind Wen Qingzhi.

After the brothers Han Shuo and Han Yan paid their respects, they also stood behind Xiao Yi.

When Xiao Yi saw Chang Baicao and Wang Yi cutting rabbits, he couldn't help but shudder.

A few days ago, there was news that Wen Qingzhi accepted two people as apprentices, but he and Wen Qingzhi were childhood sweethearts, and he knew that Wen Qingzhi had no medical skills.

I came here today, firstly to reminisce about the past, and secondly to find out the truth.

"Drink tea."

Wen Qingzhi spoke indifferently and went straight to the point. "Thank you for lending us two money to tide us over. How much do you usually pay them for a month? When we leave, let the steward of the Marquis' Mansion settle the bill for them. I can't work for you and still take money from you."

Xiao Yi frowned, "You and I grew up together. How could I ignore you when you're in trouble? Do you have to be so clear about such a small matter?"

"..."

Wen Qingzhi looked at Xiao Yi. He frowned with dissatisfaction in his eyes, looking like a resentful woman who had been abandoned.

Wen Qingzhi found his first sentence funny.

The friendship between childhood sweethearts is true, but when Wen Qingzhi was in trouble...how much had he helped her?

Does he really know nothing about what happened to Wen Qingzhi?

Have you really never heard anything about it?

Outsiders don’t know, maybe it’s because Aunt Zhang and the others disguised themselves well.

But how could a person who cares about Wen Qingzhi and holds great power not know?

Ha ha……

She was too lazy to expose the truth, so she took a sip of tea and said to Chunyu, "Chunyu, the tea is cold."

These days, Chunyu has also figured out Wen Qingzhi's temper. When he heard her say this, he knew that she wanted to send the guests away.

She immediately said, "I'll go boil some water and make tea for you."

She trotted off, then quickly returned, saying, "Miss, it's time to take your medicine. My mother said you haven't been feeling well lately and need more rest. You can't stay out in the wind all the time."

Chunyu was also able to tell this kind of white lie fluently.

"you are sick?"

Xiao Yi asked.

"you are sick?"

Han Yan also asked, but after asking, he realized that he had said too much and immediately lowered his head.

"After years of harsh treatment, isn't it normal for your body to be weak?"

She glanced at Xiao Yi and asked, "Is it not a disappointment?"

"No."

Xiao Yi looked at Han Yan twice more and walked towards Wen Qingzhi, "Azhi, if you are not feeling well, just rest more. Find a doctor and take good care of yourself, and you will get better. You have been wronged for so many years, and you will definitely get better in the future."

"If you have any problems, you can come to me and I will help you."

"is it?"

Wen Qingzhi asked softly, "So, has Brother Xiao Yi found out who was behind the kidnapping and nearly murder of me?"

Xiao Yi was stunned for a moment, then regretted it, "I'm sorry, Azhi... I didn't find anything. All the evidence was destroyed completely, leaving no trace."

Wen Qingzhi had long been aware of this outcome.

She was just... asking casually.

"Ah...I'm really a little tired."

Wen Qingzhi stood up and made a tired gesture, "Brother Xiao Yi, I haven't been feeling well these past two days, so I won't keep you here any longer. I'll definitely come to thank you in the future."

"Then you have a good rest, I'll go back first."

He looked at the two brothers Yan and Han Shuo, then walked away.

After he left, Chang Baicao asked, "Master, this Xiao Yi... isn't an honest guy. You should try to have as little contact with him as possible."

"Oh? What do you mean? Is there some gossip?"
