âI donât want to hear this.â Han Qiao said.
Dong Lai immediately started talking about something else.
âMaster Hu asked me to bring back a few stones. He said that they were rainflower stones picked up from the stream.â
The patterns on the Rain Flower Stone were very beautiful.
Han Qiao liked it immediately.
âIs everything going well on Brother Huâs side? Are he and his Sister-in-law in good health? How are the children? Did he say if he wanted to send them to the marquisâs residence to study and practice martial arts with Ah-Chi and the others?â
âItâs all good. Master Hu intended to wait for a while before moving his entire family to the city.â Dong Lai immediately said.
Han Qiao nodded.
âYou must have had a hard journey. Go wash up and rest first. Your wedding date with Pucao is set to be the twentieth day of the eighth month.â
Dong Lai was instantly overjoyed. He quickly got up and kowtowed, âThank you, Madam!â
Dong Lai was truly touched.
He had been sold since he was young and had lived a homeless life. Although he had learned some martial arts, it was only superficial. Later, because he was framed, the main family sold him to the Heng Manor.
He thought that his life was over, but he did not expect to fall into a nest of fortune.
The marquis and madam valued him so much, so he could not disappoint them.
On the fourteenth day of the eighth month, Doctor Yangâs Senior Brother, Doctor Miao, arrived with his son.
He didnât go find his junior brother Doctor Yang first but went straight to the Marquisâs Mansion.
The gatekeepers were clever servants. They were usually very observant when they spoke and did things.
As soon as he asked the person who came, he quickly invited him to the side to drink tea.
The tea was herbal tea brewed in the big kitchen. The gatekeeper had also been given two pots. One pot was placed in the ice cellar. When it was too hot, he would take it out and pour it into a bowl. It was very comfortable.
There was plenty in the kitchen too, but they had never been put in the ice cellar.
âOld sir, take your time.â
Doctor Miao nodded slightly and looked at his silent son.
The gatekeeper also glanced over.
This man was as gentle as jade. He was like the most transparent jade, and also like water that did not stir. In short, it felt very comfortable to be next to him.
The few servants at the gatehouse were stunned.
When Han Qiao learned that Doctor Miao had arrived, she quickly asked someone to invite him to the main hall and then to invite Doctor Yang from next door.
Doctor Miao was very gentle when he spoke and did things. He especially had the air of a doctorâs benevolence. His son did not look stupid, but he was quiet. No one knew what he was thinking when he sat there in his silence.
He didnât speak or look around.
It was as if his body did not host a soul.
Moreover, he was handsome and gentle like jade. He did not have any aggressive bone in his body at all.
âHeâ¦â Doctor Miao glanced at his son beside him and sighed slightly.
âThe guest courtyard has already been prepared for you. There is also a pharmacy. The medicinal herbs in the residence that can be moved over have already been moved over there. If you lack anything, please take a trip with your men to buy it some other day.â
Han Qiao was exceptionally polite and easy-going.
Doctor Miao was surprised, but he couldnât help but sigh.
People were indeed different.
Doctor Miao had only sat down for a moment when Doctor Yang arrived with a smile.
âSenior Brother.â
âLittle Jiu.â
Doctor Miao was overjoyed. He looked at his junior brother with a smile that reached his eyes.
Doctor Miaoâs son stood up and silently bowed before standing to the side.
He remained silent.
Doctor Yang sighed slightly, but he didnât care or take it to heart.
Han Qiao prepared a table for Doctor Miao, his son, and Doctor Yang gave them a welcome dinner.
Their courtyard was spacious and bright. Other than the house they lived in, a few other rooms were used as a pharmacy. There were many medicinal herbs inside.
There were also two manservants running errands, two maids serving tea, and an old woman washing clothes and cleaning.
âThe arrangements that the Marchioness made for you are really not that bad.â Doctor Yang said enviously.
His place wasnât bad in the Feng family, but compared to this place, he was still quite lacking.
Not to mention anything else, there were many people serving him. The room was clean and tidy. The medicine cabinets were arranged in rows and rows. The medicinal herbs inside were prepared and stacked neatly.
Doctor Yang had seen many precious medicinal herbs, and he was envious.
âIs Little Jiu still not getting better?â Doctor Yang asked softly. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Doctor Miao sighed, âUnless he walks out on his ownâ¦â
He was a good child. He did not know what happened to him to become like this.
He wouldnât say anything when asked or beaten.
âForget it, if he wants to humiliate himself like this, let him be.â Doctor Miao said.
What kind of person was Han Qiao, the Marchioness, like?
âSheâs a good person.â
This was Doctor Yangâs evaluation of Han Qiao..
