Song Chi was caught off guard and laughed at his joke, never expecting that she had such a cute side.

The woman I knew before was as aloof and noble as an orchid, detached from the world, and breathtakingly beautiful.

But now she's so cute and lively, she even made a funny face at him. Is it because her husband has come back?

That must be it. She and her husband must love each other very much, which is why she's been smiling more lately.

He Jiuniang had no idea that her simple smile, born of guilt, had caused Song Chi to overthink so much.

But this is for the best, because after this incident, he knows that He Jiuniang is doing well and is very happy now, so he can finally give up completely.

"In that case, I'll take the scar removal cream back with me."

"Uh-huh!"

He Jiuniang nodded repeatedly. In fact, if she really needed to remove the scars, she could do it herself, and the effect would even be better. But it was Song Chi's kind gesture that moved her deeply.

Since Dr. Song is so kind, she'll give him a few more prescriptions!

Okay, I'll write it when I get home tonight!

After watching Song Chi leave and returning to her seat to continue studying medicine and herbs, He Jiuniang left quite gracefully. Here, she was always free to come and go as she pleased.

As soon as she went outside, she ran into Lu Baichuan, who had come to pick her up again.

He was still wearing a mask and didn't ask for help when he got off the carriage. He was just about to go into the clinic to find her.

At this time of year, He Jiuniang would usually be at her busiest. He had planned to come over and wait for her for a while, but she came out unexpectedly.

Aren't you busy today?

"Okay, let's go back. Don't bother with all your injuries."

Despite saying that, she couldn't hide the joy on her face.

This was the second time Lu Baichuan had come to pick her up, and she felt a sweet warmth in her heart.

Lu Baichuan naturally noticed this and said with a smile, "I just finished my work and thought I'd come see you and wait for you to go home together."

While speaking, he deliberately glanced into the clinic when He Jiuniang wasn't paying attention. He remembered that there was a young doctor in the clinic who seemed to treat his wife a little differently.

He had come today with the intention of asserting sovereignty, but unexpectedly, he died before he could even get into the clinic and had to go home.

Just then, Song Chi was also looking in their direction. Their eyes met, but there was no spark as expected.

Song Chi has completely let go. Although she is unwilling, she will not force it. Now that she sees Lu Baichuan coming to pick her up to go home, she is genuinely happy for them.

He then nodded slightly to Lu Baichuan and continued reading his medical book.

Now it was Lu Baichuan's turn to be confused. Could it be that the hostility he felt that day was just an illusion?

No one has been able to figure this out, and no one has had time to think about it anymore.

As soon as they entered, the dog opened its arms and rushed towards them. Even though he was still in pain, Lu Baichuan bent down, picked up his son, took off his mask, kissed him on the cheek, and asked, "What's making you so happy?"

"Daddy, Grandpa and Grandma said they'll take me back tomorrow!"

Lu Baichuan was immediately puzzled: "Why go back? Are you unhappy with Father?"

The dog shook its head vigorously: "Of course I'm happy, but I want to go back to school."

Lu Baichuan immediately thought of letting Gou'er study at the school here, but then remembered that his son seemed unwilling to study here, so he asked, "You're leaving tomorrow, is it in such a hurry?"

"Yes, Grandpa and Grandma miss home, hehe!"

The dog blurted it out.

He Jiuniang couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh. This kid, he clearly wanted to go back and play with his brothers, but he still blamed his grandparents for it.

Lu Baichuan was reluctant to part with his family. He had just reunited with them and was unwilling to separate so soon. However, he knew he couldn't keep his son with him because he would be very busy these next few days. Even if his son stayed, he wouldn't have much time to spend with him.

Just then, Old Man Lu and Madam Sun came out. Madam Sun said, "This prefectural city is great in every way, but we don't know many people here. We really don't feel as comfortable here as we do in the village, so we've decided to go back to the village. We know you're busy in the prefectural city, so just come back and visit home when you're done."

At this point, Mrs. Sun added, "If you really don't have time, that's okay. We'll bring the children to stay with you for a while later!"

She doesn't have anything serious to do now, so she can leave anytime, and living in both places isn't a problem.

He Jiuniang quickly accepted this suggestion, saying, "Alright, this city is indeed not as comfortable as the village. Let's go back first. I'll be busy for about half a month, then I should be able to relax and go back to stay for a while."

Lu Baichuan immediately said, "What about me?"

Sun was annoyed by his simple-minded appearance. She slapped him and said, "What do you mean by 'you' and 'me'? That's your home too. If you have free time, you can go back whenever you want! Besides, you haven't even gone back to visit yet. Maybe your brother and sister-in-law have been thinking about it for a while. We just know you've been busy lately, so we haven't urged you."

“But we won’t rush you. You can’t be oblivious to the fact that the village is the foundation of our family. No matter how busy you are, you have to take the time to visit your family. You can’t be a heartless scourge!”

Sun was reminding him that he shouldn't look down on his brothers just because he's successful. As a family, everyone's efforts must be directed in the same direction, otherwise the family will soon fall apart.

Lu Baichuan immediately nodded: "I know, Mother. I will definitely go back after I finish this busy period! I will also ask my brother and sister-in-law to come and stay in the prefectural city for a while."

Sun was finally satisfied and was about to go inside when He Jiu Niang grabbed her hand and said, "Mother, it's rare that I'm back so early today. Let's go for a stroll in the street, it's been a while since you came!"

"We're not going to shop anymore. We've already explored everywhere these past few days."

Sun waved her hand dismissively, having already explored the city and found it utterly uninteresting. Prices were high, and the people weren't as friendly as in the village. In short, it wasn't very fun, which was why she wanted to return to the village.

He Jiuniang was both amused and exasperated. "When I say 'shopping,' I don't mean just wandering around. Of course, I'm going to buy some things! You've been away for so long, shouldn't you bring back some small gifts for your children and grandchildren when you go back?"

Sun glared at her and said, "You've only been out for a few days, why did you bring gifts? You can't spoil them like this! You just know how to waste money!"

"Even if you don't bring any, you still have to bring some back for your husband to his brother, sister-in-law, nephews, and nieces whom he hasn't seen in years! He hasn't been home for so many years, does he mean he won't bring anything back for the family?"

He Jiuniang continued to tempt her, and Sun Shi actually began to seriously consider it.

Although she didn't care about these things, it was only right for her to show some appreciation to her two older brothers and sisters-in-law, as this would also promote harmony among the brothers.

It's past midnight! Late but here it comes!!!
