Chapter 344 She looks exactly like Xiao Tang!

Xiao Tang gave a forced smile.

She didn't think the system's words were praising her.

Listen closely, it's practically a sarcastic jab at her.

That's absolutely infuriating!

...

She spent 1,000 points to exchange for various medicine-making tools, and also instructed Yan Shi and Ru Yi that no one was allowed to come in and disturb her medicine-making. So she locked herself in the room and focused on making medicine.

No matter what's happening outside, she tells herself that she must not be affected.

Even if the sky were to fall and the earth were to shake violently, she would not be allowed to interrupt the process of refining the medicine!

Ruyi stood guard outside the door.

Everything went as usual on the first day.

Di Jingling didn't return to the inn until the very next day.

Seeing that Xiao Tang had turned a perfectly good sleeping room into an alchemy room, his expression became somewhat gloomy.

It's not that I don't want to cure the poison.

But if the price to cure the poison is so high, he would rather... not have the antidote.

But seeing Xiao Tang's expectant look, he couldn't bring himself to refuse her again.

Xiao Tang, who was tending the medicine stove, excitedly greeted him upon hearing his arrival, "Husband, you're back! I've been here the whole time, very well-behaved, I haven't gone anywhere."

They practically had "Praise me, praise me!" written all over their faces.

The man reached out his large hand and ruffled her soft hair, praising, "Tangtang is so good and wonderful."

Although the compliment wasn't very heartfelt, Xiao Tang was still quite happy.

She smiled and took his arm, walking to the bedside. "Come, come, my husband, please sit down. I'll have Ruyi fetch you some hot water so you can soak your feet first."

She looks exactly like a virtuous wife and loving mother.

She has solidified her image as a virtuous and capable woman.

Di Jingling tried to refuse her, but she grabbed the flesh of his thigh.

"Husband, please don't reject me, or I'll ignore you."

The words of refusal stuck in his throat, and he couldn't say them.

"……good."

For some inexplicable reason, he naturally agreed.

Ruyi asked the waiter to bring a basin of hot water. Xiao Tang quickly tried to roll up the man's trousers, but he grabbed her arm.

"Need not."

How could he possibly let her serve him?

He bent down and lifted Xiao Tang to sit on the edge of the bed. The man squatted down and took off her shoes and socks.

Xiao Tang subconsciously shrank her feet.

"Don't worry, I won't hurt you," he comforted her.

Before Xiao Tang could even process the meaning of his words, her feet were already being stuffed into the foot bath tub, and then...

"Aww~~"

She finally understood what he had just said!

Good heavens.

Is a foot massage really that painful?

This feeling, this intense, tangy sensation!

When did Di Jingling learn the skills of a foot massage therapist?

Watching her scream in pain, Di Jingling chuckled inwardly, all her previous gloom vanishing at that moment.

Xiao Tang happened to catch a glimpse of the curve of his lips out of the corner of her eye, and immediately became unhappy.

Do you take pride in tormenting your wife?

I have reason to suspect that you're deliberately torturing me!

However, there is no evidence.

However, she did relax a bit.

The man massaged her feet, and in particular, her feet looked especially small and cute in his large hands.

In his hands, her feet felt like a doll's.

Di Jingling probably also felt a bit of appreciation, holding her feet in his palms and examining them back and forth.

Even though this little foot belonged to his princess, he seemed unable to get enough of looking at it.

Xiao Tang curled her lips in dissatisfaction, "Husband, it should be me serving you while you soak your feet..."

"No." He doesn't need it.

He seemed to have thought of something, "Tangtang, from now on, I'll help you wash your feet, face, and take a bath."

Xiao Tang: ...? ? ?

Something's not right...

...

On the third day of alchemy, Di Jingling left early and returned late every day. Even though he bullied Xiao Tang until she was exhausted every day, he still left at the same time every day without fail.

Xiao Tang kept her promise to him and stayed obediently at the inn every day.

This medicine can be prepared on the fifth day.

Furthermore, it will be boiled down into elixirs.

She was worried that something might go wrong, so she refined two pills.

After all, that pot of Seven-Day Killer was quite large.

On this point, we still have to thank Xiao Yichen, even though it cost a lot of money.

Bang--

The door was pushed open.

The woman huffed and puffed as she barged in. "Young Master Hao, you must stand up for me... Um, who are you?"

The loud and boisterous one is none other than the cuckoo.

She originally intended to come back and have a good cry with Hao Fang.

To my utter surprise, when I broke in, I found myself in a medicine-making room, along with a strange woman.

She was stunned.

Ruyi chased after her, calling out in annoyance, "Miss Dujuan, this is our Regent's Consort, you mustn't be rude."

She hadn't expected Du Juan to barge in so suddenly, and even more so, she hadn't expected Du Juan to push open the door without a word, which was truly rude.

Such recklessness! If the Regent were here, Dujuan's head would surely be on the chopping block.

Du Juan stiffly uttered a sound.

She blinked. "Has the Imperial Advisor already returned?"

Falling into self-doubt.

Xiao Tang cleared her throat. "Yes, Grand Preceptor Hao Fang has some business to attend to, so he has left temporarily."

She was relieved that several days had passed and Du Juan should not suspect anything.

Dujuan gave a soft "oh".

She was oblivious to many things and didn't suspect anything, even thinking it was normal.

It's quite normal for the regent to miss his wife so much that he would send the queen to keep him company.
