However, he hid it well, and the disappointment was quickly covered up by laughter.

He pulled Huo Ju aside and said with a smile, "Miss Tang."

Tangli was welcomed into the living room.

Dabao had never seen such a luxurious mansion. He didn't know that a house could be so big and have such a large yard. The table was made of red wood and the workmanship was very exquisite. And the teacup was actually porcelain white.

He was filled with shock, but showed no fear on his face. He followed Tang Li, secretly observing Bai Muyang's actions, and then learned from him, doing it very well, like a noble young master.

Xu Jue's family are all scholars. They have more experience than Dabao and can handle it with ease.

In Bai Muyang's eyes, Miss Tang raised the two little kids very well and they didn't look like country kids at all.

"These are free-range eggs from the village. I brought them to nourish Mr. Bai."

Tang Li brought two baskets of country eggs, all bought from the village. He gave one basket to the scholar in the academy, and the other basket to Bai Muyang.

For people like them, no matter how valuable the gift is, they may not care about it. What is more important is the thought behind it.

Bai Muyang took the basket with a smile: "Thank you, Miss Tang. Miss Tang, you saved my life. Since we are friends, you don't have to call me 'Master Bai'."

Tang Li didn't act pretentiously: "Is that Brother Bai?"

"Hello, Brother Bai, I have always wanted a younger sister." Bai Muyang looked at Tang Li and was really happy.

He had feelings for Tangli, but with his body... he didn't want to delay the girl's relationship, so he didn't express it. Now that he knew Tangli was married, those thoughts were completely gone. However, he still wanted to be closer to Tangli.

Bai Muyang's mind moved: "Tangli, are you willing to be my sister?"

Tangli was stunned for a moment.

"Although we have different parents, we are just like siblings."

Bai Muyang felt more and more that this was feasible.

Tangli cares about him more than his family and is more like his family. It would be great to have such a sister, so he won't be alone anymore.

Bai Muyang tried hard to sell himself: "I can make money and take care of people."

She is the big sister of the tribe, with a group of little kids. Although she likes dolls, she also envies others who have brothers to protect them and wants a brother very much.

After spending some time together, Tang Li felt that Bai Muyang was a very reliable and sincere person, and it was great to have a brother like Bai Muyang.

Tangli was very moved: "Okay."

"Then call me 'brother'." Bai Muyang said with a smile.

"Brother~"

The girl's voice was so soft and sweet that it really touched my heart.

The smile on Bai Muyang's face became even more intense.

Huo Ju was still reeling from the blow of a broken heart and followed in in a daze. At this moment, he immediately reacted.

"Tangtang, I want to be your brother too!"

If I can't marry such a delicate girl, it's still a good thing for her to have her as my sister!

If his friends knew that he has such a beautiful sister, they would surely envy him to death!

Huo Ju found a new direction and became happy.

Tang Li really doesn't want this unreliable little bully to be his brother.

However, Huo Ju made the final decision: "Okay, it's settled. Mu Yang is the eldest brother, and I am the second brother!"

Bai Muyang smiled and said, "Now that we are in Yaoshui Town, we can skip this ceremony. I will hold a ceremony to recognize our relatives when we get to the capital."

Bai Muyang called the servants and gave them a few instructions.

Soon, the servant brought a box.

Bai Muyang opened the box, took out a jade bracelet from it and handed it to Tang Li.

"Sister, take it. This is a gift from your brother."

Then he picked out two longevity locks and handed them to the two children: "This is a gift from your uncle."

Seeing this, Huo Ju was unwilling to fall behind. He reached into his arms and searched around, but unfortunately he was so poor that he couldn't find anything. Finally, he touched his waist and took off the dagger hanging there.

"Sister, this is a meeting gift from my second brother!"

The jade bracelet and the longevity lock are worth at least several hundred taels, and this dagger is also very exquisitely crafted and is obviously of extraordinary value.

Tangli was stunned by this pile of things.

"this……"

"Just keep it. It's just a dagger. It's because your second brother ran away secretly... And you two, when we get to the capital, your second uncle will give you a whole box of gold!" Huo Ju stuffed the things into Tang Li and the two babies, eager to show off.

Tang Li looked at the little bully's anxious look and took the things with a smile.

The two little kids also expressed their gratitude in baby voices.

Once the relationship between brother and sister is acknowledged, the relationship will be different.

Tang Li asked, "Brother, tell me, you came to Yaoshui Town just to recuperate? Is there anything I can help you with?"

"Actually, I'm here to seek medical treatment." Bai Muyang said.

"What disease do you want to see?" Tang Li asked.

A cold look flashed in Bai Muyang's eyes: "He was drugged."

Tangli was stunned for a moment. He was actually poisoned. That must be very uncomfortable.

Bai Muyang saw the pain in her eyes, and his heart softened, so he told her the old things that were hidden in his heart.

He was the eldest son of the Bai family, his mother's surname was Guo, and the Guo family was once as wealthy as the Bai family. His mother was an only child, and a capable woman. After marrying his father and soon having him, his mother's attention shifted to the family and son, and business matters naturally fell to her husband.

The Bai and Guo families both fell under his father's care, and with this powerful alliance, the Bai family quickly grew in size. His mother also silently supported his father behind the scenes.

If two people are in love and the family is harmonious, it can be considered a good story.

But his father is not a good man.

Shortly after his grandfather passed away, his father brought in a concubine and a younger brother, Bai Xuyang.

This means that his father has been with this woman for at least six or seven years, but he has been hiding it from his mother!

His mother could not bear her husband's betrayal, suffered a mental breakdown and jumped into a well and died.

This incident had no impact on his father. Before his mother's body was cold, his father made the concubine his legal wife.

With a stepmother, there is also a stepfather. What's more, his father was not a good person.

"My grandfather didn't trust my father, so when he handed over the Guo family's assets to him, he made him sign a certificate stating that I must be the future head of the Bai family."

"The poison in my body was given by my stepmother. I stood in the way of them and their son. As long as I die, the Bai family will belong to Bai Xuyang."

"But I refused to die. He sought medical help everywhere and insisted on living, which was not what they wanted."

Bai Muyang said this with a smile, but there was a cold look in his eyes.

Tangli couldn't help but feel distressed.

She knew that in the original plot, the vicious stepmother had indeed gotten her wish. Bai Xuyang became the head of the Bai family, the imperial merchant of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the richest man, and a fortune rivaling that of an entire nation. Meanwhile, the name Bai Muyang didn't even appear in the novel; he was a mere cannon fodder, even more so than herself.

Tang Li looked at the thin, tall, and sickly nobleman in front of her. She couldn't bear to see him die young and with hatred in his heart like the ending in the novel.

She will try to change his fate.

"Brother, the doctor who gave me the formula for the medicine sachet is a very good doctor. I'll ask him to come and see you in a few days." Tang Li said.

Bai Muyang came here to look for an old doctor who had retired to his hometown. He met the old doctor a few days ago, but the old doctor could not do anything about the poison in his body.

The doctor Tang Li knew was probably a village doctor, and he might have some skills. However, how could a village doctor cure a disease that even the old doctor couldn't?

Bai Muyang didn't hold out hope, but after all, it was his sister's good intention, so he nodded and said, "Okay."
