Bai Zihua understands his cousin well!

Just as Song Yan'er and Xiao Yang stepped out of the room, it was time for lunch!

At the dinner table, Bai Zihua looked at Song Yan'er with a pitiful expression:

"Sister-in-law, I wrote the letter last night, but I was afraid it wouldn't be ready in time!"

Song Yan'er calmly picked up some food:

"Your cousin is to blame for this!"

Then he glanced at Xiao Yang and hummed softly!

Bai Zihua...

Please think of the person whose wife isn't around!

Xiao Yang noticed the somewhat resentful look in his wife's eyes, and guiltily touched his nose.

Okay! I did go a bit too far last night! After all, I've been celibate for over a month, so it's understandable that I acted like a beast!

Xiao Yang tried to ingratiate himself by adding more food to Song Yan'er's plate.

"Yan'er, this is delicious! You should try it!"

Song Yan'er rolled her eyes and ignored Xiao Yang!

Xiao Yang...

Bai Zihua watched with a hint of schadenfreude:

"Cousin, you've finally met your match, haha!"

Perhaps it was because all the good things had come at once that Bai Zihua changed from his previous gloomy mood and became somewhat cheerful!

Xiao Yang rolled his eyes:

"What do you know? You don't even have a wife by your side!"

Bai Zihua was completely unaffected and extremely smug:

"My wife is pregnant again! My cousin-in-law hasn't told you yet! I'm going to be a father again!"

Xiao Yang calmly looked at Bai Zihua:

"My wife has only been pregnant once, but she was pregnant with twins!"

Bai Zihua...

Song Yan'er...

"Are you even three years old combined? Besides, what does your wife's pregnancy have to do with you? What's the point of being so smug!"

Bai Zihua...

Xiao Yang...

It would be abnormal if it had nothing to do with me!

Song Yan'er ignored the two of them and walked out!

Xiao Yang quickly put down his chopsticks and followed Song Yan'er out!

Bai Zihua: What about this letter? Did my cousin-in-law forget? Should I remind her?

Thinking it over, he followed after them!

The group had just stepped outside when they encountered the city lord talking to the people!

Upon seeing Xiao Yang and the others, they immediately pointed at Song Yan'er:

"It was she who selflessly researched and developed a cure for the plague and gave it to us. Now, as long as we drink the medicine for a few more days, we will be almost fully recovered!"

Song Yan'er...

I just want to be a good Samaritan, please don't make it so sentimental!

Ignoring Song Yan'er's thoughts, the people bowed to her and said thank you!

One person even knelt down in front of her:

"Madam, thank you so much. I heard about what happened last night. Thank you so much. You saved not just my son, but our whole family! We've already decided that if my son were to die, we would all go with him. There's no point in living anyway!"

Fortunately, I met your wife! I'm so grateful!

Song Yan'er looked at the person in front of her with some helplessness, then glanced at Xiao Yang beside her.

Xiao Yang quickly reached out to help the woman kneeling on the ground:

"Madam, please don't be like this! This is what we should do! Please get up!"

"I wanted to thank this lady. If it weren't for her insistence, my son would be gone! I've been waiting here all morning just to say thank you in person! My family is poor and I don't have much to offer, so I'm giving this to you, madam! Please accept it!"

Song Yan'er helped the woman up:

"Really, there's no need! I just got lucky and happened to have figured out the medicine!"

"If you don't accept it, I'll stay here and wait for you to take the position!"

Song Yan'er...

Well, he's still stubborn!

Left with no other choice, Song Yan'er accepted what the woman had in her hand: it was a pair of silver rings! They were quite beautiful and perfectly suited Song Yan'er's aesthetic sense!

However, this is very precious for an average family!

"Auntie, this is too valuable, I can't accept it!"

As she spoke, she looked at Xiao Yang, signaling him to quickly save the day, as she was about to collapse!

Xiao Yang: "Yes, auntie, this is far too valuable! We can't accept it!"

"Take it! There's still a lot of stuff here! They won't feel at ease if you don't take it!"

The city lord looked at the awkward couple and found it somewhat amusing. These two had seen all sorts of grand occasions, yet they were still intimidated by such a small scene!

Song Yan'er and Xiao Yang exchanged a glance, then looked at the city lord with a puzzled expression!

The city lord looked completely innocent:

"Why are you looking at me? This wasn't my idea; they started it themselves! It just shows that the people of Dexing City are grateful. Please accept it! It's a small token of their appreciation. Don't worry, there aren't any particularly valuable gifts!"

Song Yan'er...

This isn't even expensive; for some families, this kind of silver ring could be a family heirloom!

"Thank you, Madam. Please accept our token of appreciation!"

"Thank you, Madam. Please accept our token of appreciation!"

Song Yan'er and Xiao Yang exchanged a glance, both wanting to escape!

If she had known she would encounter something like this when she went out today, she would never have stepped out of this room, even if you killed her!

Song Yan'er's eyes darted around, then she turned to look at the city lord:

"I need to go to the dock to check on the condition of the Grand Canal. If I delay any longer, I won't have to go! The plague will be at its worst around noon, so that's the best time to observe!"

The city lord looked at Xiao Yang with confusion, only to see Xiao Yang still looking at his wife with doting eyes!

City Lord...

Looking at the people surrounding them, the city lord couldn't understand why these people were so afraid when they just wanted to thank them!
