"After you get married, live a good life with your husband, be filial to your parents-in-law, be considerate to your husband, and take care of your children. Fulfill your duties as a daughter-in-law, wife, and mother. Of course, if you encounter any problems, don't be afraid. Stand tall, and the Prince's Mansion will always be your support!"

He Zhuo first spoke earnestly and patiently, and then his words were firm and resolute.

"Mother." Hearing this, the two little maids burst into tears again. Their mother spoke with such conviction that they believed their family would definitely help them if they ever encountered any difficulties in the future.

After all, her stepmother never spoke falsehoods.

He Zhuo was unaware that she was the legitimate mother of his two illegitimate daughters.

He Zhuo wasn't just making things up. If any of his daughters suffered bad treatment after getting married, Yin Zhi would probably come knocking on their door with a knife.

Although He Zhuo's sons didn't have much contact with the concubine's daughters, they all knew the principle that they shared the same fate. Moreover, even the concubine's daughters were their sisters and not to be bullied by outsiders!

"You will all be married off as princesses of noble rank, and you are allowed to bring guards. Your father said he will personally select them for you, and they will meet you sooner to get to know each other better. After all, they will be staying with you on the grasslands for the rest of your lives."

"In the future, if your maids or guards take a fancy to any girl from the grasslands, you can arrange their marriages."

"Thank you for your teachings, Mother."

When He Zhuo saw that the two little girls' eyes were swollen from crying, he sighed inwardly. At such a young age, they had traveled through mountains and rivers to marry into an unknown place, where they might never see each other again. He couldn't help but feel pity for them.

"Go down and get to know them. Also, considering the situation on the grasslands, your stepmother has prepared a female physician for you, who will be delivered in the next couple of days."

"Thank you, Mother!" Upon hearing this, the two little girls immediately knelt down in front of He Zhuo.

They had long known that Bai Xia, the aunt beside their mother, was a female physician and were very envious of her. However, this was something they couldn't obtain through envy. As young girls with incompetent birth mothers, they had no connections whatsoever.

The eldest daughter-in-law really loves them; she even prepared a female healer. You know, there is a shortage of doctors and medicine on the grasslands, so female healers are very precious.

He Zhuo helped the two girls up and had someone take them away.

The second batch of female healers has completed their training. This batch has more outstanding individuals, more than a dozen. After He Zhuo gave one to each of Xiao Liu, Xiao Qi, and Xiao Ba, there were still some left over.

Mother, Father is getting old and his health isn't always good. He Zhuo sent five over. Whether they use them themselves or give them to my elder brother and the others, it's fine.

The female physicians trained by He Zhuo were arguably no less skilled than the imperial physicians; the requirements were extremely strict, and the attrition rate was high. Those who were eliminated were either retained to cultivate and process medicinal herbs or to serve at He Zhuo's "Jin's Pharmacy." After all, male doctors were often unsuitable for treating the illnesses of some ladies and young women.

In the first group, there was a girl who couldn't persevere and wanted to get married. He Zhuo wasn't doing charity work; these female doctors and apprentices, you could say, had their lives saved by He Zhuo. He identified medicinal herbs, taught them medical skills, and you could say that training even one of them was worth a fortune.

That ungrateful wretch thinks he can just leave like that? Not so easy. Just say a few words of thanks, and he'll remember you in the future. That's all.

He Zhuo told the steward directly that he should first repay the debt of saving his life, then the debt of raising him, and finally the tuition fees for all those years. He Zhuo didn't ask for an exorbitant amount of two thousand taels of gold, but the man the female doctor had her eye on kept dragging his feet and didn't want to pay.

Finally, the two tried to use moral blackmail, arguing that they didn't know their master was He Zhuo, the eldest princess consort; otherwise, they wouldn't have dared to cause trouble even if they had a lot of courage.

Finally, things escalated, and He Zhuo had him killed. Who knows what might happen if this ungrateful wretch were released in the future?

Since then, management has become even stricter.

He Zhuo wasn't running a charity. From the beginning, these people had signed indentures. The man thought he could redeem this girl by giving her a few dozen taels of silver? He was dreaming.
