Exile at the start? The princess is no ordinary woman.

Even if the person opposite them were the prince's wife, they wouldn't dare to agree to such a momentous matter outright...

"Very well, thank you very much, Madam Jun. I will discuss it with Cheng'er and the others, and then inform you. Thank you for your trouble..."

"Madam, please allow Chengzhi to discuss this with my father before making a decision."

"Of course, of course. No, it's not enough. Mr. Xu, gentlemen, Qingning, you can discuss it first. I've already given Madam Xu acupuncture today and will prescribe some medicine for her. It should alleviate her headaches."

Three days later, regardless of whether you make a decision, bring your wife to see me, or have my disciple come to your residence, I will administer acupuncture to your wife again.

Thank you, thank you.

"Ms. Gu, thank you for your trouble."

"Lin'er, you mustn't be rude."

Upon learning Jun Yanchen's identity and hearing his son address him in such a way, Xu Huanshan instinctively began to reprimand him.

This sudden lecture left everyone bewildered. What was going on? He had called him that before, so why was his father telling him not to be rude now?

However, Xu Ruilin didn't think too deeply about it.

“Father, Gu Meiren and I are friends, and that’s always been how I address her…”

Gu Nanzhi also spoke up at the opportune moment.

"Mr. Xu, please don't mind. I am friends with the Second Young Master. You can address him as you feel comfortable, it's fine."

Since Gu Nanzhi had already said that, and Jun Yanchen hadn't said anything, Xu Huanshan realized that he had overreacted; Jun Yanchen had just reminded him of that.

He subtly observed Jun Yanchen before smiling and speaking.

"Yes, yes, what Madam Jun says makes sense..."

They've seen doctors, received treatment plans, and written prescriptions, but they still can't make a decision right now.

Next, we can't neglect people.

"Young Master Jun, Madam Jun, Young Master Bai, Miss Ren, it is an honor for you all to visit my home today and to meet my son. Please stay for dinner before you leave. I will have my servants arrange dinner in a moment."

"Then thank you very much for your hospitality, Mr. Xu. There's no rush for dinner. Qingning said that the chef in your household makes exceptional pastries, which are already prepared. Why don't we have some tea and pastries first? Besides, I find the scenery in your garden quite pleasant. Would you mind showing us around to admire it before we have our meal?"

Today's visit isn't just about treating a patient; I'm also bringing friends over. As someone who loves good food, how could Gu Nanzhi miss out on the delicious food Xu Qingning mentioned?

She had to try it eventually; after all, the trip hadn't been in vain for her stomach.

"Oh, yes, yes, look at me, I've been so worried about Mother's illness. Sister Nanzhi, please don't blame me for not being hospitable enough. I've already instructed the cook to prepare the snacks, and they'll be brought up right away."

Annoyed, Xu Qingning stepped forward and took Gu Nanzhi's arm, then ordered some snacks to be prepared.

"Xiao Cui, go and bring up the snacks so that Sister Nanzhi can have some,"

Thinking of something, Xu Qingning then said to Gu Nanzhi,

"Sister Nanzhi, why don't we move directly into the garden, enjoy the scenery, and have some snacks?"

Gu Nanzhi nodded.

"Very well, then we'll do as Qingning says."

"Yes, yes, Miss Gu, Young Master Jun, why don't we go directly to the garden? Please."

"Young Master Jun, Madam Jun, please,"

At this moment, Xu Huanshan found his usually unreliable second son, Xu Ruilin, much more agreeable. He hadn't expected the brat to be so lucky, meeting such a person without even realizing it.

And the relationship seems pretty good...

If it were just Gu Nanzhi, then Xu Qingning might be the only one accompanying her. But there's also Jun Yanchen, and Jun Yanchen, despite being a prince, is so deeply affectionate, with only his wife in his eyes.

Thus, Xu Huanshan, Xu Chengzhi, and the others could only accompany them, leading them to the garden to admire its scenery, with flowers, trees, mountains, and water...

What a nice courtyard!

Then we sat down in the pavilion, where they served fine tea and snacks...

"Sister Nanzhi, Young Master Jun, please,"

"Lady Gu, Young Master Jun, please. The cook in our manor is an expert at making pastries, even better than what you can buy outside. Please try some. If you like them, we'll have the cook make them and send them to you next time."

Gu Nanzhi picked up a piece of osmanthus cake, took a bite, and savored it carefully.

Mmm, the floral fragrance is rich and sweet, but not cloying...

These pastries are indeed better than the ones she buys on the street. Only wealthy families know how to enjoy life, and to have a cook with such skill in their household.

She wanted it too...

"Qingning was right, this cook's skills are indeed better than those outside, and the food is delicious..."

"I'm glad Sister Nanzhi likes it. Try this too, this is a shortbread, this is a cloud cake, this is a honey-glazed pastry..."

This is only for wealthy families; they bring out more than ten plates of these snacks at once. Even just trying one piece of each would be enough to fill you up.

However, Gu Nanzhi ate very happily.

For foodies, it means they'll eat any kind of delicious food, okay?

Seeing that his wife liked it, Jun Yanchen also picked up one of the dishes and tried it, but he still thought that the ones Nan Nan made were the most delicious.

But since Nan Nan loves food so much, it seems he'll need to hire some skilled chefs and pastry makers...

We'll send someone to the manor later to cook Nan Nan's favorite dishes...

Bai Zang and Ren Shuqing are definitely benefiting today, as they are being treated very well by the Xu family...

Enjoy the scenery, snacks, and tea.

Seeing that it was almost time, Xu Huanshan instructed the steward to prepare dinner, telling him to make it as lavish as possible. Madam Xu had also already woken up.

They dressed themselves neatly again and came to the garden.

"Madam Jun, Young Master Jun, please forgive my poor hospitality and the embarrassment you've caused,"

"Madam Xu, you're too kind. Madam Xu is not feeling well, so you should rest properly. Mr. Xu, and the two young masters, Qingning and the others have been very considerate."

Gu Nanzhi said with a smile,

"It's good that we haven't neglected our guests, Madam Jun. Thank you so much. I feel much better now after your acupuncture treatment. I never expected that Madam Jun, who looks so young, would have such high medical skills..."

As the patient, Madam Xu had the clearest and most genuine understanding of the doctor's skills. She was truly surprised; initially, seeing how young Gu Nanzhi was, she had harbored doubts.

But considering her husband and children, she agreed...

Unexpectedly, the result amazed her; she shouldn't have used age as a standard to judge a person.

"Madam Xu, you are too kind. I am a doctor, and it is my duty to treat the sick and save lives. Moreover, I am friends with the two young masters and Qingning. I have already written a prescription for you. You can take the medicine according to the prescription and then have acupuncture three days later."
