Bai Suihe nodded solemnly, "I have already taken the old lady as my apprentice, and I will take care of her in her old age."

For some reason, Granny Pang disliked her calling her "Master," so Bai Suihe had no choice but to comply.

Madam Bai then turned to Granny Pang and said, "Sister Pang, my good-for-nothing daughter is in great need of your care."

If she does anything wrong, feel free to discipline her.

Granny Pang smiled and said, "Don't worry, Madam. Miss is intelligent and more talented than you."

Madam Bai's carefully cultivated emotions almost collapsed because of those words, "Your mouth is still as stubborn as ever."

I'm not worried anymore; at least no one will dare to upset you.

However, you two should take it easy and prepare less of some of the medicine.

Thinking about how they had just stuffed an entire package into her head, filled with powders listed for various uses, Madam Bai couldn't help but feel a headache coming on.

In the past, Granny Pang liked to cause trouble on her own. Since everyone in the manor was her own person, she could do whatever she wanted. Now that Bai Suihe has joined in, and the two of them are making medicine together, who knows what kind of trouble they'll cause if things continue like this.

"Mom, don't worry, those are just my practice pieces. Remember to record them for me after you use them and see how they are. I will then make improvements based on the results."

Gu Xingyang almost burst into laughter in her arms, while Bai Suihe felt a shock in her mind. "Baby, don't laugh, is it that funny?"

"Mother, guess what my maternal grandmother is thinking right now?"

Bai Suihe: "Of course I'm reluctant to part, we're about to separate."

"You really are my grandmother's good daughter."

Bai Suihe pretended to be naive, "You are also your mother's good daughter."

Gu Kaiyuan only received various instructions from his father-in-law and two brothers-in-law. He almost patted his chest and promised that he would treat Bai Suihe well.

I had thought my father-in-law and his family would also buy some land here, but they only glanced at it and didn't take it seriously. Thinking about it later, it makes sense; with the Bai family's wealth, they probably wouldn't even look at it.

However, he was quite interested in the mountain behind Tamura, saying that in a few years the two families would work together to find a way to mine it, and he would even contract out the sales channels.

As for why not now? It's because neither of the two sides has completely settled down yet, and their networks of relationships haven't been fully established. They can only plan for the future.

The concubines and their sons, who were waiting not far away, watched this scene with envy. The difference between legitimate and illegitimate children was too great, and no matter how unwilling they were, they could only endure it.

The master and mistress treat each other with utmost respect. Even if the master is occasionally a little biased, it cannot shake the status of the main wife.

Of all the valuables they brought along, who knows how many they left for this young lady this time.

Even though she's already married, she's still taking things from her parents' family. The master and mistress are really biased.

Bai Suihe's gaze swept over that side as well, but she didn't pay it any mind.

If you have any objections, go talk to your father. She's a married daughter, she can't control everything.

We've lived peacefully in this household before, and it would be best if things continued this way. However, Mother mentioned yesterday that once we're settled, we'll be dividing the family property, and then we'll be two separate households, so there'll be even less need to maintain our relationship.

"Alright, that's enough. Let's get going, or we won't make it to the post station." Bai Jingwen glanced at the sky and urged, "Get in the carriage."

Despite her reluctance, Madam Bai could only pat her daughter's hand, harden her heart, and get into the carriage.

Bai Jingwen followed closely behind. Whenever they were out, no matter how much he doted on his concubines, he always gave his principal wife the respect due to her.

As the convoy slowly moved forward until it disappeared from sight, Bai Suihe reluctantly turned around and walked back.

"Don't worry, Lingnan has been almost completely cleared out, and the situation in Quanzhou is the same. We'll write to each other again once we have an address," Gu Kaiyuan comforted her, seeing her low spirits.

Bai Suihe: "I know all of this, but it suddenly feels empty after they left."

"Staying in the city is boring, how about we go and stay in Tiancun for a while?"

The courtyard, which had been so lively these past few days, suddenly fell silent, and Bai Suihe didn't want to go back and face it.

"That's fine. The weather's warm now, and they've already started planting fruit trees on the mountain. We'll plant some around the house too. See if there's anything you'd like to eat?"

"Then we must plant a little of everything, so that we can have fruit picking without leaving home."

Things I never dared to dream of before, I can now achieve.

"Mother, we can go into the mountains to play. Father promised me before." Gu Xingyang's crisp voice rang in their minds. Bai Suihe's eyes lit up, but Gu Kaiyuan's face fell.

Bringing them into the mountains is not a problem, but now that spring has arrived, snakes, insects, and rodents are all out. The mother and daughter have delicate skin and flesh, and if they really go into the mountains, they will probably suffer.

Just as she was thinking of an excuse to get out of it, Bai Suihe nodded excitedly, "That's right, I forgot about that, Granny, didn't you promise to take me into the mountains before?"

Despite learning so much, Bai Suihe still lacked a direct understanding of many herbs. Some of the illustrations in medical books were rather abstract, and seeing the actual herbs was much more intuitive.

“Alright, I’ll take you into the mountains when we get back this time,” Granny Pang agreed. Besides her doting on her young lady, she also believed that learning medicine really required hands-on experience. Moreover, since her young lady had been studying pulse diagnosis for some time, she would take her out to practice someday. Now that they were back in the village, she could take the pulses of the villagers who had been there for the past few years. Anyway, with her watching over them, these people would be more than happy to accept.

Since we said we were going back, we turned the car around and headed straight for Tamura.

Tiancun is currently bustling with activity. In addition to working in their own fields, villagers are also taking time out to work for the Gu family. They are being paid to do this, which is much easier than finding work in the county town or elsewhere, and the pay is also better.

As soon as they entered the village, the Gu clan members living at the village entrance saw them immediately, but they only glanced at them and didn't pay much attention.

Although Gu Kaiyuan and his group did not live in the village, there were quite a few people living in the courtyard. Now, several hilltops are being developed, and people come and go every day, with many cars going to the city to make purchases.

They assumed it would be the same this time, so they glanced at it and continued working on their own fields.

Only a few people were still complaining that Gu Kaiyuan was not generous enough. He had already helped them so much before, so why did he suddenly stop helping them?

He was just standing on his father's side. Everyone was just trying to live better and give their children and grandchildren a better future. Why couldn't he understand that?
Furthermore, Gu Kaiyuan's behavior was undeniably unfilial. Parents are never wrong, and there was no deep-seated hatred between them; why create such a tense situation and drag them into it? (End of Chapter)
