Su Xuqing threw the book on the table and then hugged Shen Xuanheng's waist.

She said with some sadness: "It's all my fault that I'm not a good doctor and can't cure you."

At this moment, Su Xuqing regretted very much. She regretted that she had not finished reading the "Shennong Herbal Classic" in her previous life. Now she couldn't read it even if she wanted to.

In her previous life, she obtained this medical book by accident. She was driven out of the house by Shen Chejin on a snowy night and met a wandering monk who was almost frozen to death.

Feeling sorry for the monk, she dragged him into the woodshed of the palace, and was beaten by Shen Chejin for having an affair with the monk.

Seeing that Su Xuqing was really pitiful, the monk gave her a copy of "Shennong's Herbal Classic" and told Su Xuqing that she could escape from the palace after she finished her studies and survive with her medical skills.

Unfortunately, Su Xuqing didn't take it seriously at the time and only learned the basics.

She had read other medical books in the past few days and found that these medical skills could not be compared with the "Shennong's Herbal Classic". Not only were the pharmacology incomplete, but they also could not stand up to scrutiny. They did not have the effect of turning decay into magic that the "Shennong's Herbal Classic" had.

Therefore, it was too late for Su Xuqing to regret. You know, the wandering monk only showed up three years later, and Shen Xuanheng couldn't survive until that time.

Shen Xuanheng's eyes were filled with tenderness as he gently stroked Su Xuqing's hair.

"Madam, your life span is determined by heaven and cannot be changed by human power. If you cry every day, you will be wasting your precious time."

Su Xuqing rubbed her tears on Shen Xuanheng and nodded vigorously.

"My husband is right!"

As she said that, she stood up, tiptoed, and kissed Shen Xuanheng hard. While kissing, her hands began to take off Shen Xuanheng's clothes restlessly. It was obvious that she was going to do something embarrassing in broad daylight again.

Just when the two people were passionate, there was a cautious knock on the door.

"Prince, Madam, the Second Madam is here."

In the room, Su Xuqing frowned and said unhappily, "Let her wait outside."

After that, the two of them continued with their unfinished business.

In the yard, Li waited for half an hour.

Li sat on the stone bench with a gloomy face and an irritable mood. With the buzzing of insects everywhere, she couldn't help but scold: "How do you servants do your work? Don't you know how to catch those damn insects!"

As soon as she finished speaking, the door of the wing room opened, and Su Xuqing and Shen Xuanheng walked out slowly.

"Second sister-in-law is really angry. There are so many bugs now. How can we catch them all?"

Li rolled her eyes and sneered, "You two are really arrogant. My sister-in-law came to visit, and you made me wait here for half an hour."

Su Xuqing spread her hands and said, "If you don't want to wait, you can leave."

"you!"

Li was extremely angry, but she still endured it. Otherwise, the little girl would go to the old lady to complain, and she would have to kneel in the ancestral hall again.

"Haha, forget it. I won't argue with you. I came here today to apologize to you. If the old lady asks, don't deny that I have never been here."

Su Xuqing sneered, "You are here, but your attitude doesn't seem like you are here to apologize."

"Hey, what else do you want?"

Li said in a demonic tone, "Do I have to beg you to forgive me? I advise you to stop while you are ahead, otherwise..."

As she spoke, Li glanced at Shen Xuanheng and sneered, "Otherwise you will suffer in the future."

Shen Xuanheng narrowed his eyes slightly, and a flash of cold light passed by.

"Yinhuan, close the door."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Yinhuan quickly closed the yard door and locked it from the outside.

Li's face suddenly changed. She stood up and stepped back step by step.

"What do you want to do? Xiaojiu, I advise you not to do anything reckless. I am your sister-in-law!"

Shen Xuanheng sneered and said calmly: "Second sister-in-law, I think you have forgotten the pain after the wound healed. If I don't let you learn a lesson, you won't even know who you are!"

Li was frightened by his tone, fearing that Shen Xuanheng would pin her to the ground and beat her. Even if she went to complain to the old lady, she would probably be reluctant to punish this sickly boy.

"Hmph, alright, alright, can't I apologize to your wife? It's all because your second brother died early, otherwise I wouldn't be able to bear this!"

Li bowed reluctantly as a formal apology.

"Yinhuan, open the door."

Shen Xuanheng flicked his sleeves, the door slowly opened, and Li left. The longer she stayed, the more humiliation she would suffer.

"Second sister-in-law."

Shen Xuanheng suddenly called Li and said in a cold tone: "You must restrain yourself in the future. Don't force me, a dying man, to take your son away at the last minute!"

Li shuddered and looked back at the man whose tone was like that of a devil, feeling both shocked and angry.

Not long after Li left angrily, the old princess also came to the backyard. One reason was to ask whether Li had come to apologize, and the other was to send an invitation to Su Xuqing.

Su Xuqing and Shen Xuanheng didn't want to upset the old lady, so they didn't go into details about Li's apology.

Opening the invitation, Su Xuqing's beautiful eyes wandered. This was an invitation to her to attend the Huafang Festival. The signature on the lower right corner read "Sun Weiwei".

Su Xuqing groaned for a moment, remembering what Yinhuan had told her about the Painted Boat Festival.

"Mother, is this Sun Weiwei the daughter of Grand Tutor Sun?"

The old princess nodded with a smile, "Yes, this Grand Tutor Sun is a veteran minister of two dynasties, and has a very high reputation in the court. He is the backbone of our Daliang State. You should go to the Huafang Festival when you have time. If you can make friends with Sun Weiwei, you will have more people to help you in the future, right?"

The old princess was so kind, and Su Xuqing didn't want to disappoint her, so she nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll go with my husband."

Shen Xuanheng laughed when he heard this and reminded her, "Madam, this Painting Boat Festival is specially held for women, and everyone knows that my husband is a playboy. If you take my husband with you, no one will dare to talk to you."

"That's it."

Su Xuqing held her chin with both hands, "Then I'll go by myself."

The old princess smiled cheerfully, and then ordered the maid beside her to put a wooden box on the table, "Qing'er, you are away from home, representing the face of the palace. These jewels are accumulated by mother over the years, and now they are all given to you."

As she spoke, the old princess opened the jewelry box. The glittering gold jewelry inside made Su Xuqing almost unable to open her eyes.

"Mother...isn't this too expensive?"

"What's so valuable? I'm old and don't need it anymore. If I give it to you, you should keep it well. You can't let me take it into the coffin, right?"

"Bah bah bah!"

Su Xuqing quickly covered the old princess' mouth and said seriously: "May mother live a long life, don't say such things."

Shen Xuanheng and the old princess smiled. It is said that a person's true character can be seen in the details. This new daughter-in-law looks like a filial person.

There were laughter and joy in the courtyard and the sound of footsteps outside the courtyard.

Yinhuan's ears twitched and he looked sideways, and saw a familiar figure. Their eyes met, and Qingzhu waved.

The chubby-faced maid hesitated for a moment, but still walked over.
