One could say that Wenren Ying did intend to spy on people by casually leading Xiao Cao into the front courtyard, but in reality, it was more about taking a chance. Before Wenren Ying had been reborn, everything she knew about Cheng Wenzheng came from others’ mouths. As the saying goes, “seeing is believing and…

Cheng Wenzheng, the top scorer of the 16th year of Xuanren’s reign, was also third place in the imperial court examination held in the same year. He was appointed to the Hanlin Academy as an editor. Through a stroke of luck, he garnered the favor of Emperor Xuanren, becoming the imperial reader for a young…

Because the old madam hadn’t taken much of her previous medication, she asked Xiao Cao for her opinion. Upon Xiao Cao’s advice, she immediately took a few of the newly prepared pills with warm water. They went down smoothly, with no sign of nausea—perhaps for the first time in years, taking medicine had been this…

Wenren Yang’s face, for once, flushed slightly. Embarrassment was not something he often experienced, but he had always been a well-behaved child. “I’ve read about this in books, but I’ve never seen the actual herbs in person. If you tell me once, Fourth Sister, I’ll remember,” he said earnestly. Xiao Cao nodded in understanding and…

“Don’t mention it! Your sister helped your grandmother sleep well without medication last night, and it’s not just good, it’s excellent!” Han Shi’s face was beaming with pride, her children were always the best no matter what they did. “Really?

“Alright, you can go back now. I don’t need you to serve me here.” “This daughter-in-law takes her leave.” Han Shi was quick to agree, after all, with more than twenty years of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law dynamics, the temperaments were long understood, so there was no need for pretense.
