"Mother, you don't need to worry anymore. I will take care of the baby's one-month celebration myself. I will not go back to the Han family."

Cao Qiaoniu reiterated her stance: she did not want to mention Han Hu again.

She doesn't want to know anything about Tao Wan anymore; all she wants now is to live a quiet life with her child.

"Qiao Niu, I know our Han family has wronged you in this matter, but we always have to go home for the baby's full moon celebration. Don't worry, our Han family only recognizes you as our daughter-in-law."

"Mom, I know you love me, but Han Hu and I really can't get over this. Please stop pressuring me."

Seeing that Cao Qiaoniu didn't want to talk anymore and was in a bad mood, Cui Yulu got up to see Liu Meie and the others out.

“Aunt and sister-in-law, you should go back first. Some things can’t be forced. Once my sister-in-law has thought it through, she will go back with you.”

Seeing that she really didn't want to talk to her, Liu Meie could only nod slightly.

"In that case, I'll trouble you to take care of the mother and her two children. I'll come and check on them whenever I have time."

After seeing Liu Meie off, Cui Yulu turned around and went back into the house. Seeing that the two babies were asleep, she didn't say anything more and turned to leave the house and return to the main hall.

The clinic was as busy as ever, and Cui Yulu didn't have to worry about it, so she was living a comfortable life.

"Sister Cui, that older sister has been kidnapped."

Chen Yuan rushed in, panting, and reported to Cui Yulu.

"Did you get chased by a dog? You're all sweaty from running. Have a glass of plum juice to calm your temper."

He took the plum juice and gulped it down, then stared at Cui Yulu with wide eyes.

"Sister, the older sister who used to work at our clinic has been taken away by a group of men."

Cui Yulu knew this day would come, but she didn't expect the Xing family to act so quickly.

"I understand. You can go ahead and get busy. There are a lot of people waiting for you to get their medicine."

Chen Yuan jogged to the back room to get the medicine according to the prescription.

The mute boy next to Cui Yulu, seeing her silence, gestured a few times in front of her.

What are you thinking about?

"Nothing's wrong. Looks like we should go out for a walk."

After saying that, Cui Yulu took the little mute boy out.

Several people who came out of Ghost Cave Village also arrived, with Lai Guitou and Xia Lan'er being the most curious about the place.

Little Ah Huo and Ah Shui were also the most curious, after all, it was their first time coming out of the Ghost Cave, and everything in front of them was new and amazing.

"Mom, what is this? It smells so sweet. I really want to try it."

Little Ah Huo pointed at the stall selling rouge and face powder, his round little eyes staring at Du San Niang.

"Silly son, these are rouge and face powder, specially used for women's makeup. What are you going to taste them for?"

Tuoba Xuan looked at Xiao A Huo jokingly, then casually picked up a rouge and pretended to put it to Xiao A Huo's lips.

When the little guy heard that it was women's cosmetics, he quickly waved his hand and refused, saying, "I don't want this stuff. It's women's stuff. I don't want it."

The conversation between the two drew laughter from everyone.

"Tuoba Xuan, do you even know where Yulu is? What are you doing, leading us around the streets like this?"

Du Sanniang angrily rebuked Tuoba Xuan.

"How could I not know my sister's clinic? It's right around the corner, in the most bustling area."

Tuoba Xuan said with dissatisfaction, and then led everyone toward the medical clinic.

Coincidentally, Cui Yulu arrived with the little mute boy, and Tuoba Xuan shouted excitedly when he saw Cui Yulu.

"Hey girl, nice girl, can you tell who we are?"

Du Sanniang glanced at him and said angrily, "With your loud voice, who wouldn't recognize you?"

Tuoba Xuan had no time to pay attention to her scolding and ran straight towards Cui Yulu.

The mute boy blocked Tuoba Xuan's way, preventing him from getting close to Cui Yulu.

"What are you doing? I'm her older brother. Let me through."

He hadn't seen her for over two months and missed her terribly.

Cui Yulu was also genuinely surprised that they would come here. She ran over happily, but she bypassed Tuoba Xuan and hugged Du Sanniang.

"Third Sister, what brings you here? I'm so happy to see you."

"It's because we missed you. Now that we're on your turf, you'd better treat us well."

"Of course. I have time today, so I'll show you around here."

As he spoke, he warmly took Du Sanniang's arm, preparing to show her and the others around the city.

"Rain and Dew, I'm asking you too, can't you see us?"

Xia Lan'er and Lai Guitou gathered around Cui Yulu, determined to complete the task their master had given them.

"How could I not see you all? I just haven't had a chance to say hello yet. How about I invite you all to come again?"

"Since you seem quite sincere, we'll reluctantly forgive you. Shall we go shopping together?"

Seeing that Cui Yulu was ignoring him, Tuoba Xuan quickly pushed through the crowd and rushed to Cui Yulu's side.

"Hey girl, you saw all of them, but why can't you see me?"

As he spoke, his large face swayed back and forth in front of her, seeking a sense of presence.

"Alright, stop loitering around here. With your big face, everyone can see you. You're always trying to get attention. I think you deserve a beating."

Du Sanniang scolded him angrily for a few words and then pushed him aside.

"Hehe, then I'll have to ask Third Sister to take good care of me. I just want to feel important to you, so you'll have to grant my wish."

When Xiao Ah Huo and Ah Shui saw Tuoba Xuan acting so affectionately towards his mother, they both made faces at him.

The two little ones have come to accept Tuoba Xuan's existence.

This can also be seen as an acknowledgment of his identity.

"Oh my, you two, are you...?"

Cui Yulu looked at Tuoba Xuan and Du Sanniang with a mischievous grin.

Both of them blushed at the same time, tacitly acknowledging their feelings for each other.

Cui Yulu was happy for the two of them.

"This is wonderful! One is my sister, and the other is my good brother. We are truly family now."

Tuoba Xuan had been searching for her ever since she disappeared, a love that transcended life and death, so she also had special feelings for him.

"Little sister, we'll always be family. Ever since you saved me, I've treated you like my own sister. No matter where we go in the future, our hearts will always be together. I'll always be there for you."

Tuoba Xuan spoke with such sincerity that everyone who heard him was deeply moved, and everyone held Tuoba Xuan in high regard.

"Brother Xuan is a man of great loyalty and affection; we all admire you."

"Yes, we all admire your true character, and we respect and admire you. From now on, you will also be our elder brother, and we will respect and cherish you in the same way."

These words brought tears to Tuoba Xuan's eyes: "From now on, we are all one family. We should take care of each other, unite as one, and protect Yulu."
