Those eyes were so deep, like a deep pool of water, attracting me to fall into it again and again.

She was a little upset, and finally forced herself to close her eyes, take a deep breath, and turn over to prepare for sleep.

But the fingers touched something warm and hard.

When she grabbed it and took a look, it turned out to be the warm jade that Mu Gu had just given her.

She tried hard to see the patterns carved on the warm jade, but the room was too dark and she couldn't see clearly even after staring for a long time.

Finally, I was so angry that I stuffed it under the pillow, closed my eyes and went to sleep.

Perhaps because of what happened last night, Xiao Ruge got up a little late the next day. After breakfast, she took the medicinal recipe to Xiao Qianqian's yard.

Xiao Qianqian was tending to the flowers and plants with Lin. Xiao Linxuan was on holiday from school today and was helping out by carrying a wooden barrel.

Xiao Ruge found it funny to see the thirteen-year-old boy being ordered around by his mother and sister.

"Oh, my second sister is here!"

Xiao Linxuan was in the process of voice change, so his voice sounded a little hoarse. In addition, he deliberately lowered his voice, which actually made him sound somewhat steady.

In his previous life, Xiao Linxuan's life could only be considered okay.

Because of the suppression from the first and second wives, as well as the lack of attention from Old Lady Xiao, the child, who was originally very studious, ended up dropping out of school early and managing the business for the Xiao family.

Although he failed to make a name for himself in his official career, he eventually became successful in business.

She reached out and pinched Xiao Linxuan's chubby little face, and was invited by Lin to sit in the pavilion.

Xiao Linxuan ran to the small kitchen and brought some snacks over himself, then sat down next to his sister with a smile on his face.

"How come you have time to come here today?"

Lin poured Xiao Ruge a cup of tea and asked with a smile.

Xiao Ruge pushed a few medicinal recipes over and said softly, "This is the medicinal recipe I rewrote for Qianqian. Don't eat the previous one for now. I showed it to Qianqian yesterday and the previous recipe is no longer suitable."

Lin was pleasantly surprised and put away the recipe. She looked at Xiao Ruge with gratitude and said, "Ruge, I won't say much more. I will always remember how good you are to my family! If you encounter any problems in the future, just say a word and I will definitely help you!"

Xiao Ruge didn't want to tell this to Lin. The reason she helped Xiao Qianqian was because Xiao Qianqian helped her collect the body in her previous life.

In addition, after she was reborn, Lin treated her well, and their relationship became better and better.

Glancing at Xiao Linxuan standing beside him, Xiao Ruge asked softly, "Did Linxuan pass the exam to become a scholar?"

"Not yet, but there will be an exam next year. Your uncle said he should take it next year!"

Lin was very pleased with her youngest son. Not only was he obedient and sensible, but he was also a good student. Every time her husband tested him on his homework, he could answer questions fluently.

Xiao Ruge looked at Xiao Linxuan and encouraged him with a smile, "Study hard and strive to gain a place in the official career in the future, so that you can become a support for your parents and sister!"

Xiao Linxuan's expression became more serious after hearing this, and he nodded vigorously, "Don't worry, second sister, I will try my best!"

They talked in the pavilion for a while. Lin told Xiao Ruge that Xiao Jinzhi had been gaining more and more favor in front of his superiors recently. From what she said, it seemed that Xiao Jinzhi had a chance of promotion.

Sure enough, within two days, the imperial edict came down to transfer Xiao Jinzhi to southern Yunnan.

Xiao Jin's exile to southern Yunnan surprised Old Mrs. Xiao, but it was a good thing after all.

After all, from a captain to a city defender, even if he is a fifth-rank general, it is a high promotion.

They were about to leave the capital, which meant that the Xiao family would lose some support, which made Old Lady Xiao feel a little regretful.

Because he was about to take office, the third roommate was very busy recently. It took him two or three days just to pack up his belongings, and he loaded a total of five large trucks.

Even this is a light trip. If we take everything with us, I'm afraid even ten carriages wouldn't be able to carry it all.

Originally, Mrs. Xiao meant that Xiao Qianqian, since she was old enough, should stay in Beijing and find a husband.

But Mrs. Lin was afraid that the husband she found for her daughter would not be a good one, so she refused to agree no matter what, and had a very unpleasant argument with Old Lady Xiao about this matter.

Xiao Ruge found out and ran to Ronghui Hall, where she stayed with Old Madam Xiao for half the afternoon. No one knew what she said, but in the end, Old Madam Xiao finally gave in and let their family leave.

On the day of leaving Beijing, the Xiao family gave him a symbolic farewell, but Xiao Ruge was the one who took him in a horse-drawn carriage all the way to Shili Pavilion outside the city.

Xiao Jinzhi was riding on a horse and saw Xiao Ruge still following him, so he turned his horse around and came to Xiao Ruge's carriage.

"Ruge, don't see me off, go back!"

Xiao Ruge lifted the curtain and jumped out of the carriage. Just then, Lin and her two children also got out of the carriage and walked over.

Lin looked at Xiao Ruge with red eyes. She held her hand and gave her gentle instructions.

"Aunt San knows that you are not happy in the Xiao family. If you are bullied again in the future, go to the Third Prince or the Emperor to make a decision for you. You will live better if you return to the old house alone!"

Xiao Ruge smiled and nodded, and asked Bai Zhi to hand Xiao Qianqian a small wooden box. When opened, it was divided into two layers, upper and lower, containing dozens of small porcelain bottles.

"The top layer is the pills I made for Qianqian. Take one pill a day. The medicinal diet can be taken once every seven days. When you have finished the pills, write to me and I will make more for you!"

Xiao Qianqian's tears were already falling. She held Xiao Ruge's hand tightly and whispered, "I understand."

"The lower layer is the medicine I made to repel insects and prevent miasma. When Uncle San goes there, he will definitely have to deal with bandits and the like. These can be used for self-defense. I have written down the usage and dosage and put them inside. Just use them according to what is written on the top!"

Xiao Jinzhi didn't expect that his niece was so thoughtful and even prepared something for him.

Even a grown man in his late 40s couldn't help but be moved when he saw it.

After saying this, Xiao Ruge took out another letter and handed it to Xiao Jinzhi.

"There is a Changru Academy in southern Yunnan. My brother has a classmate who is a teacher there. Linxuan is at the right time to study. If there is no better academy, he can go there."

Xiao Ruge was very thoughtful and had taken into account almost everything concerning the third branch's family, which made Xiao Jinzhi's hands tremble slightly with excitement.

Seeing this, Xiao Linxuan's eyes lit up, and he smiled and said to Xiao Ruge, "Don't worry, second sister, I will study hard and pass the exam to become a scholar next year!"

Xiao Ruge smiled and patted his head, "Okay, then Second Sister will be waiting for your good news in the capital!"

Seeing you off thousands of miles away, there will be a farewell in the end.

Xiao Ruge saw off Xiao Jinzhi and his family at Shili Pavilion. Watching the convoy going farther and farther away, Xiao Ruge also got on the carriage and prepared to return to the city.

When they were halfway there, Bai Zhi opened the curtain and came in, "Miss, Mo Yi is following behind in his carriage!"

Xiao Ruge was resting with her eyes closed. When she heard this, she opened her eyes and a hint of coldness flashed in her eyes.
