It was only when Xiao Cao was formally introduced to the people of the Wenren family that all eyes gathered on her. Xiao Cao’s behavior was completely unlike that of someone raised in the streets. Her manners were proper, and her every move was graceful and fitting. Just as Wenren Xu had said, one could…

On the way back, Wenren Taibo had Xiao Cao walk beside him, keeping his sons at a distance, as he stroked his beard. “Since you visited Wenzheng’s hometown when you were young, it’s possible you’ve also been to the ancestral land of the Wenren family,” his mind wandering a bit. “If Father is referring to…

Cheng Wenzheng nodded earnestly in agreement. “It is indeed my fault. But truthfully, the reason I am where I am today is, in no small part, thanks to Fourth Young Lady.” “Oh? How so?” asked Wenren Taibo, curious. Cheng Wenzheng looked somewhat embarrassed as he began to explain. “Master is aware that my father passed…

Before Wenren Taibo could speak, Cheng Wenzheng, filled with excitement, spoke up first, “Fourth young lady, were you previously known by the surname Lin and once traveled with Divine Doctor Lin, practicing medicine and treating patients?” Wenren Taibo, though not opposed to his daughter continuing to practice medicine, certainly did not want her past to…

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…

Han Shi took the list, glanced over it, and then casually poked Wenren Ying’s forehead, scolding her: “And you’re still bold enough to say that! You don’t take things seriously or put in effort. Among the five siblings, you’re the youngest, and everything you do is the worst.” Xiao Cao, concerned that Wenren Ying might…

Reading too much can harm the eyes. Didn’t the Han family know that? Of course they did. However, they never encountered anyone whose eyes were completely ruined from reading. At most, one might not be able to see clearly from a distance, which isn’t considered too serious. So, they couldn’t quite grasp the situation and…
