Before parting with Chu Cong, Qiao Zhenzhen gave him a sachet filled with medicinal herbs and asked him to carry it with him.

He was told that if there were any special circumstances, there was a small bag inside that contained a pill that could cure all poisons. He was also told that this pill was very difficult to make and should not be used unless it was an emergency.

In fact, Qiao Zhenzhen had a bottle of antidote given by Xie Qianzhong, but things are valuable because they are rare. Not to mention how precious it is, people just ate it casually, and then the symptoms kept coming back. What should she do?

Han Zheng saw it but didn't say anything at the time.

On the way back to the palace, the two rode in the same carriage.

Han Zheng was quite critical of the sachet, "You are the wife of the prince of the Duke's Mansion. It is inappropriate to give the prince a sachet."

"That wasn't embroidered by me. It contained herbs and pills to save his life."

Qiao Zhenzhen gently bumped him with her shoulder, "Why, are you jealous——"

Han Zheng's expression was a little unnatural, and he changed the subject:

"How do you know so much about poisons?"

Qiao Zhenzhen: "I am studying medicine."

Han Zheng: "...Does studying medicine mean you know so much about poisons?"

"Shennong tasted hundreds of herbs and compiled the Compendium of Materia Medica. Medicine is originally poisonous. Do you know what poison is?"

Han Zheng nodded quickly, but seeing her expression, he shook his head uncertainly, "What is poison?"

"In fact, all so-called medicines are poisons. Poison means bias. A healthy person is called a balanced person in the Neijing, which means balanced. If a person is biased, then use medicine with bias to correct it. This is the principle of curing diseases. The so-called fighting poison with poison means correcting bias with bias. So if you give a healthy person medicine every day, it is equivalent to poisoning him."

"Is poisoning so easy?"

"Easy? How can a healthy person be willing to take medicine every day?" Qiao Zhenzhen said, "Putting this aside, there is a saying that ginseng can kill people without fault, but rhubarb can save people without success. Ginseng is a tonic, but if used incorrectly, it can also kill people. Although this sentence itself does not mean this."

"So those who study medicine must first have a righteous heart." Qiao Zhenzhen looked at him and smiled, "Otherwise, a seemingly ordinary medicine can send you to hell."

Han Zheng suddenly felt the hairs on his back stand up.

This kind of oppressive force was something he had never felt before when he was in close combat with others.

Are all doctors like this, or is only her daughter-in-law special?

Qiao Zhenzhen asked: "Do you regret marrying me a little bit, a little bit?" She made a little bit gesture.

Han Zheng shook his head subconsciously and said firmly: "No."

Qiao Zhenzhen patted his arm and said, "Don't worry, I will keep my word and will not harm you."

"Besides me?"

Ouch, I noticed the loophole in her words. Han Zheng has made progress.

"That depends on how others behave. If they piss me off, I can't guarantee that my moral bottom line is solid." Qiao Zhenzhen said jokingly, "For now, my heart is still very upright."

"Hold……"

"I tried hard, so..."

"What?" Han Zheng was a little nervous.

"You don't have to worry about others poisoning you anymore. You don't have to live as cautiously as the prince." Qiao Zhenzhen winked at him, "I'll protect you. Be happy."

Han Zheng was stunned and suddenly felt touched. No matter how his wife treated others, at least she had nothing to say about him.

"Well, happy."

Qiao Zhenzhen used her fingers to artificially create two dimples on her face, "Then smile happily."

Han Zheng wrapped her naughty hands in his palms, and couldn't help but hugged her in his arms and kissed her.

……

A full month had passed since Qiao Zhenzhen went to set the rules...

One day after the morning court session, Mo Qingyang stayed behind to play a game of chess with Emperor Kangde. Not long after, the list of imperial merchants for the next year came out, and the name of the eldest brother of the Lin family was not on it.

This matter soon reached the ears of Old Lady Han.

On the fifteenth day, the whole family went to Songhe Garden to pay their respects to the old lady after dinner.

Recently, Mrs. Lin has been feeling very proud because she used the secular rules of the game to suppress her daughter-in-law.

Humph, even if she is a princess, she still has to set rules in front of her mother-in-law.

As long as she behaves according to the rules and doesn't let others find fault with her, she will be invincible.

Although Qiao Zhenzhen was the granddaughter-in-law, because of her status, she sat very close to Madam Han, second only to Lin.

Old Madam Han even called her over, asked her to sit on the couch with her, and asked her if she was getting used to life at the Han family recently.

Qiao Zhenzhen said naturally: "It's a habit, of course it's a habit."

Cao smiled and said, "Grandfather, how can the princess not get used to it? Suiyuan is now being renovated according to her preferences."

Lin said seriously, "Suiyuan has always followed the ancestral rules. It shouldn't be changed at will."

Old Madam Han glanced at them indifferently.

Qiao Zhenzhen smiled sweetly, "It hasn't changed much, I just don't like that Yuluxuan."

She looked at Lin, "My husband said that was the house my father built for his concubines," and then she moved her eyes to the old lady, "I don't know how, but they built a two-story building next to the main courtyard. I stood on the building and looked, and wow, I could see the main courtyard clearly. This is really..."

Lin's face froze.

Cao echoed, "That's a little inappropriate."

Madam Han smiled lovingly and said, "If you don't like it, tear it down."

"So I replanned a small courtyard there. But in this way, other places have to be moved accordingly. Second Aunt is right. My husband and I will live in Suiyuan for decades, so we have to do it according to our own preferences. Mother didn't mention the ancestral rules before. I thought that my father could build a house as he pleased, so this garden should be able to be changed."

She turned her head and said, "Mother, do you think I am right?"

Lin gritted her teeth, but she didn't dare to go too far in front of Madam Han.

He just pulled the corners of his mouth dryly.

Qiao Zhenzhen just wanted to humiliate her and didn't expect her to really answer.

After asking, he turned around and talked to Old Madam Han.

Lin was so angry about the attitude of ignoring her that she was filled with resentment. She was thinking about how to teach this daughter-in-law a lesson when she returned home without being accused of being mean.

But Madam Han did not give her this opportunity. Everyone left and the old lady asked Lin to stay alone.

Most of the servants in the main hall were sent away, leaving only Nanny Zhang nearby.

Madam Han drank a sip of tea and said calmly, "I heard that you have been very free these days, and you are bothering your daughter-in-law when you have nothing to do, right?"

Lin flatly denied it, "Mother, you blamed me wrongly. I just asked Fuhui to do some things a daughter-in-law should do. Fuhui is a cunning person by nature. She always tells the servants to do whatever I ask her to do. How can a daughter-in-law have the ability to torment her? To say that she torments me... is more like it."

Madam Han laughed and said, "So you feel wronged?"

Lin took out a handkerchief, bowed her head and pretended to wipe away her tears twice, "There are some things that I have wanted to tell you, mother, but if I tell you, it will seem like I am intolerant. When Fuhui started construction in Suiyuan, he did not tell me and the Duke.

Later... Later, she attacked people in my yard for no reason, just because those two mothers offended her with words. They are all elderly people who have been with their daughter-in-law for many years. She said she would punish them, and I said it was useless... This daughter-in-law, I..."

Madam Han interrupted her and said, "Didn't you go to find her first to make her unhappy?"

Lin was stunned, "I am the mother-in-law..."
