Divorcing your wife might feel good for a moment, but seeing me make money will make you regret it f

Looking at the old lady Cui who had brought this upon herself, Cui Han decided to tell her what the family doctor had said.

If she doesn't learn to control herself and just keeps giving in, her mother's temper will probably get worse and worse.

"Mother, please don't be angry anymore. Do you know what the physician just told me?"

If you don't learn to control your temper and keep losing it, you might spend the rest of your life in bed.

Old Mrs. Cui didn't immediately grasp the meaning behind Cui Han's words. She looked at her proudest and most beloved son in disbelief.

"Do you really have taken a fancy to that lowly servant girl? It's one thing for you to protect that bastard child all the time."

Now you're even protecting this lowly servant girl? Do you even care about me, your mother, anymore?

Cui Han sighed, then could only speak more bluntly.

"The physician said that you have a blockage in your brain, and you may have a stroke if you get too stressed."

So that you can live a decent life for the next few years.

Mother, your son advises you to start cultivating your character and temperament from today.

Madam Cui instinctively wanted to refute, but thinking of Cui Han's words, she became more hesitant.

She softened her voice, but still seemed somewhat incredulous: "Really? You're not just trying to frame me to protect that outsider, are you?"

Cui Han's patience was running out:

"How could I possibly lie to you about something like this?"

Call the imperial physician over and ask him; then you'll know whether what I said is true or false.

I've already dealt with Xiangxiu. I'll arrange a new maid to serve you later.

"Mother, I have something to do, so I can't stay with you any longer."

After saying that, Cui Han walked out.

"Madam Xu, let's go to the study to talk."

Xu Qing followed Cui Han to his study.

"Haiqu is to the north, far from here. But the waterway is faster; it only takes 5 days and 5 nights to get there."

After thinking for a moment, Cui Han continued, "If you really want to go, I can go with you. However, my vacation time is only enough for me to go with you; you'll have to come back on your own."

He already knew the withdrawal method for the drug powder, and he could only endure it by himself.

Anyway, I'm just staying at home.

In the first few days after quitting the medication, he was said to be extremely violent, and his mother would only worry if he stayed at home.

It would be better to go out with Xu Qing and protect her at the same time.

Now that Zhenzhen knows how much he's helping her godmother, she'll definitely stop resisting him, and maybe they can even take their relationship to the next level.

The thought of Zhenzhen calling him "Uncle" stirred Cui Han's heart with emotion.

That's Jinjin's daughter!

I failed to protect her before, so now I must protect her daughter.

May her daughter live a happy and fulfilling life.

He wanted to make up for everything he couldn't do for Jinjin before by giving it all to Jinjin's daughter.

Xu Qing was naturally pleased to hear Cui Han's words.

Cui Han is the Minister of Justice. With him as an official, one can go anywhere without hindrance.

They're like walking golden thighs; why not take advantage of them?

"Then it's settled. Tomorrow I'll go to the yamen to collect the compensation and then get the travel permits sorted out. We'll set off the day after tomorrow."

After reaching an agreement with Cui Han, Xu Qing hurried back to the inn.

She needed to tell Xu Gong and the others to make all the necessary arrangements at home so that she could leave with peace of mind.

Inside Xu Gong's room at the inn.

After listening to Xu Qing's plans and arrangements, Xu Gong and the other man frowned and said:

"Little sister, Haiqu is so far away, I'm worried about you going alone."

Moreover, it involves dealing with people from other places.

My wedding day is in a few days, and if you leave, you'll miss our ceremony.

"Or you could stay home and wait for us to get married, and then we'll go together?"

Qian Baizhi thought so too, especially after experiencing what happened with Master Cai, she now deeply felt how dangerous it was for a girl to be out in the world.

If such scoundrels can appear in the capital city, wouldn't the border regions, with their even more diverse populations, be even more dangerous?

However, after Xu Gong spoke, she did not say anything more.

Xu Qing understood their concerns, but Cui Han's leave was only a few days long and couldn't be delayed.

She felt at ease with her two sons, Xu Jian and Xu Gong, at home; her only regret was that they couldn't attend her meticulously planned wedding.

"With Lord Cui Han by my side, I'm not alone, so don't worry. Leave me some wedding candy when I get back."

Ye Wushuang then stepped forward and asked, "Aunt Xu, I've never been to Haiqu before. Can I go with you?"

Xu Qing looked disapproving: "If you leave, who will draw portraits of my second brother and sister-in-law? I won't be able to see them in person, but I'm counting on seeing the portraits you draw."

Ye Wushuang's mind was filled with excitement about going far away. Upon hearing Xu Qing's words, he immediately offered a solution:

"I'll ask my art teacher to paint a portrait of Uncle Xu. How about it? Take me with you."

Xu Qing dared not agree rashly. While at the prefectural government office, she had a vague suspicion.

Ye Wushuang seemed to know what she was thinking, and tugged at Xu Qing's sleeve, acting coquettishly.

"Aunt Xu~"

"Auntie~"

"Good auntie~"

Xu Qing shook off the goosebumps on her body, turned her face away, and ignored him.

Ye Wushuang then turned to face Xu Qing.

"Just take me with you. Don't worry about my parents. With Uncle Cui coming along, they'll definitely agree."

All you need to do is nod in agreement.

Xu Qing voiced the question that had been bothering him: "Your parents wouldn't happen to be the prefect and his wife, would they?"

Ye Wushuang froze for a moment, then awkwardly said, "How did you know? I didn't mean to hide it from you, Aunt Xu."

Xu Qing didn't want to suffer the same losses and grievances as Zhou Chenggong with Ye Wushuang.

She said firmly, "Unless your parents tell me personally that they agree to you coming with us and that they won't hold me responsible for any accidents that happen on the way, then I will agree."

Ye Wushuang nodded vigorously: "Okay, okay, it's settled then. I'll go back and tell my parents now, and also send my master over to Uncle Xu."

Xu Gong and Qian Baizhi were both stunned.

Does his younger sister have some connection with these officials?

Why do these two perfectly good young masters from official families have to give up everything and insist on following their little sister?

Especially the one in front of me, who is the young master of the prefect's family.

What does a prefectural governor mean? He's the head of the entire prefectural city!

Now, the teacher who teaches the prefect's son is actually coming to paint his portrait himself.

Xu Gongdu felt a sense of unreality, as if he were floating on clouds.

"Little sister, why don't you just not draw for us? We're just rough people, country bumpkins."

It would be a waste of talent for the prefect's teacher to paint for us.

And the thought of him being the prefect's tutor makes me incredibly uncomfortable. Won't I embarrass you?

What if they look down on us?

People in the countryside have a natural reverence for scholars and intellectuals.

Deep down, I felt that they were a cut above me.
