Although Qian Chunhua was somewhat unhappy, he still managed to force a smile and said respectfully: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for the reward."

After leaving the anti-inflammatory drugs and Danshu capsules, Qian Chunhua informed the imperial physician in detail about how to use them and prepared to leave.

The imperial physician was very grateful for her help and kept her instructions in mind.

Upon seeing this, Prince Yongning specially sent Nanny Xian, the palace manager, and Nanny Zhang to arrange a carriage to personally send Qian Chunhua back home.

However, Qian Chunhua secretly cursed the prince for being stingy. He paid for all the medical expenses and medicine costs, and only gave a plate of pears as a reward. It was really laughable.

Although these pears are precious, they are nothing compared to those in her space.

Nanny Zhang went out personally this time not only to send Qian Chunhua back safely, but also to familiarize herself with the route so that if the prince needed her in the future, she could quickly invite Doctor Qian.

When he returned home, Qian Xingshan had already picked up his three children from the academy.

During the several months he spent in the provincial capital, Qian Xingshan not only learned how to drive a horse-drawn carriage, but his family also bought one in case of emergency.

As life was difficult, the cloth shop had almost no business in the afternoon and closed its shop early.

In addition to learning from the manager and accountant of the cloth shop, Qian Xingshan spent the rest of his time studying on his own.

He firmly remembered what Master Dong had told him: if he wanted to gain a foothold in this unpredictable era, he had to keep learning in order to cope with future challenges.

As night fell, Qingsong happily found Qian Chunhua after a hearty meal.

"Mom, I have good news!" His eyes sparkled with anticipation, "The teacher said that I can join the Jinshi class next month."

Qian Chunhua was slightly stunned, somewhat bewildered by this sudden news. She didn't quite understand what the Jinshi class was.

Qingsong saw her confusion and quickly explained: "The teacher said that as long as I study hard in the Jinshi class, I will have the opportunity to take the Tongsheng exam in two days."

"Really?" Qian Chunhua exclaimed in surprise, but then revealed a look of worry, "Will that be too hard?"

Qingsong smiled, his eyes full of determination: "Mom, how can studying be hard? Compared to going up the mountain to chop wood, this is much easier. I'm not afraid."

Qian Chunhua looked at Qingsong's immature but determined face, and couldn't help feeling distressed.

This kid always puts too much pressure on himself.

She gently touched Qingsong's head and said softly, "Well, since you are so confident, go ahead.

Just don’t forget to rest and don’t overwork yourself.”

Qingsong nodded, with a more determined light flashing in his eyes.

As night fell, Qian Xingshan led a few children to practice martial arts in the yard. Their figures looked agile and nimble in the moonlight.

Qian Chunhua also took out her long whip and began to practice whip techniques seriously.

Liu Changshi asked her to treat Prince Yongning, which made Qian Chunhua feel a little uneasy.

She has always wanted to stay away from the royal family, but fate always seems to have an invisible hand that leads their family to that royal family.

For the safety of her family and herself, Qian Chunhua decided to strengthen her and her children's martial arts training. The long whip in her hand danced like a spirit snake, sometimes like a long dragon out of the sea, sometimes like a gossamer.

In half a day, Qian Chunhua's whipping skills had gone from being unfamiliar to being perfect.

Adequate nutrition made her body stronger, and her strength and agility reached new heights.

The long whip danced in her hand, just like the firm belief in her heart, protecting her and her family.
