Lu Mo frowned. They had been separated for too long, and he was worried that his son might be corrupted by Zhu Zi. He didn't want a son who couldn't distinguish between good and evil.

"You must go home for at least two months a year, otherwise there's no room for discussion."

"make a deal."

Zhu Zi readily agreed, promising to change his mind later. Once he became Zhu Zi's apprentice, he would have to listen to him, and his parents would have to take a backseat. Humph!

That night, Zhu Zi stayed at home. When they went to sleep, Lu Mo told her that he had agreed to let Xiao Zhu become his apprentice. Ye Qingqing was so angry that she bit his arm several times, leaving bloody marks.

"Why didn't you discuss it with me? You promised me you wouldn't agree, but now you're working with that dead-faced guy behind my back. You two are in cahoots, aren't you? Anyway, if I don't agree, Mom won't agree either. Little Pig is not only your son, but also my son. You have no right to make this decision on your own."

Ye Qingqing was so angry she was panting. If she had known that this scoundrel of a man was unreliable, she should have gone to the study. In any case, she would never have sent her son to Zhu Zi's hands. That deadpan and perverted man would definitely corrupt her son.

Lu Mo gently patted her back to help her catch her breath, but Ye Qingqing angrily shook him off. She didn't want to deal with this bastard anymore; he had even given away her son. She wanted to bite this stinking man to death.

“Listen to me, haven’t you always wanted to take back the Poison Scripture? Zhu Zi definitely won’t hand it over voluntarily, and you can’t snatch it even if you try. Why not let Xiao Zhu learn his skills, and then you can teach Xiao Zhu the skills in the Medical Scripture? That way, Xiao Zhu will be proficient in both medicine and poison, and be able to fulfill the last wish of the Xu family’s ancestor.” Lu Mo persuaded him gently.

Unfortunately, Pipi has disappeared and I haven't seen it for several years. If Pipi were here, it would definitely agree. No one would want the medical and toxicology departments to merge more than Pipi.

Ye Qingqing was somewhat swayed by Lu Mo's words, but she was still worried. "What if Zhu Zi mistreats the pig?"

Lu Mo was both amused and exasperated. "How could that be? Tian Tian is living in our house, and she and Xiao Tong are so close now. Zhu Zi will not only not mistreat Xiao Zhu, but he will also take good care of our son. Besides, Xiao Zhu is not someone that just anyone can bully. Don't overthink it."

“That’s right. My son is so strong, that deadpan guy can’t beat him.” Ye Qingqing nodded, but she was still worried. “Little Pig is only four years old, so young. Zhu Zi can’t even feed himself. Little Pig will go hungry if he stays with him.”

"There are so many restaurants now, as long as you have money you can eat well. Zhu Zi hasn't starved to death all these years, so Little Pig will naturally be fine too." Lu Mo wasn't worried at all.

Boys need to go out and experience some hardship; they won't amount to much if they're pampered at home. Now, the more he thinks about it, the more he feels that letting Zhu Zi take the pig away was the right decision.

"Zhu Zi and I have already agreed that Xiao Zhu will stay at home for at least two months a year. What else are you worried about?"

"How can two months be enough? Is Little Pig not going to school? Not going to take the college entrance exam?" Ye Qingqing glared. Men are just unreliable. With the studies so intense now, how can two months of study be enough? Even if her son is a genius, he still has to go to school.

Moreover, experiencing group life at school is essential; she doesn't want her little pig to become a loner in the future, as that would be too tough.

"Of course, we can't let Xiaozhu and Zhu Zi wander around outside for too long. When Xiaozhu gets a little older, we'll let him go back to school. It won't affect his college entrance exams." Lu Mo had already planned it out.
