Mrs. Zhang didn’t say anything anymore. Regardless of what, Bai Zhi was now an outsider in their family. She now has nothing to do with her. Her daughter was the most important thing in her life.
“Zhenzhu, now that Bai Zhi is gone. You can’t work less in the family like before. You have to help more.”
Bai Zhenzhu nodded her head again and again: “Alright, what do you want me to do? No matter what Bai Zhi do, I can also do the same. I won’t be any worst than her.”
Mrs. Zhang sighed, and there was some worry in her heart. This girl, Bai Zhenzhu, since she was young. Whenever the old lady asked her to do something, she will call Bai Zhi to do it. She will not do it herself. Old Lady Bai and Mrs. Liu turned a blind eye to it, which Bai Zhenzhu took for granted. So now that she will do the housework, she doesn’t know if she really can do it.

After Bai Zhi sent away Meng Nan and Jin Shiwei, she returned inside the Hu Family’s house. However, as soon as she returned, Zhao Lan pulled her to the side and asked: “Zhi’er, tell me, what prescription did you give to Meng Daren? What is going on? Since when did you learn to write a prescription?”
Bai Zhi replied: “Niang, I’ve been with Bai Xiaofeng all these years. I learned to write since long ago. As for the prescription, I learned that from my medical books. I can now write a prescription.”
Zhao Lan was doubtful: “Is it really like that?”
Bai Zhi seriously nodded her head and asked: “If that’s not how it is, then what?”
Zhao Lan looked at her daughter, her daughter still looked the same, but she seems not the daughter she was familiar with. Fortunately, she was still as filial as before.
“Well, Niang, stop thinking too much. Go and rest, you still have to go and see our fields in the afternoon.”
Zhao Lan snorted and turned to go to the cabin house.

After watching Zhao Lan leave, Bai Zhi swept her eyes to the hall and smiled: “Come out now.”
Hu Feng's figure came out from the shadow behind the door of the hall. And then, he took a few steps forward towards Bai Zhi and said: “It seems that you already know what am I going to say.”
Bai Zhi shrugged her shoulders and said: “Of course. Aside from urging me to treat you, what else are you going to say?”
Hu Feng said with a face full of dissatisfaction: “The silver needles are now available. There is also money to buy medicines. What are you still waiting for?”
Bai Zhi slightly tilted her head and stared at the Hu Feng’s handsome face that was full of sorrow. He was like a child who has a candy, but suddenly his candy was robbed. He felt very wrong in this.
Seeing this, Bai Zhi couldn’t hold back and burst into laughter. Her eyes curved into a smile, her row of white teeth were revealed and her small dimples were looming in laughter.
Bai Zhi pointed her finger at Hu Feng and said: “Are you jealous because I give treatment to Meng Daren first?”
Hu Feng didn’t deny it. He raised an eyebrow and said: “First come first serve. It’s obvious that I asked you first, but you put me aside and gave him a treatment first.”
The more Bai Zhi hear Hu Feng’s nagging, the more she couldn’t stop from laughing. He was really funny.
“Don’t get angry, I’ll treat you today.”
Hu Feng crossed his arms and slightly squinted his eyes, then said: “Today? What time?”
Oh, he really can’t wait anymore.
“Now, how about right now?” Bai Zhi surrendered. Under Hu Feng’s gaze, she had no choice but to surrender.
Hu Feng turned around and coldly spit out two words: “Come here.”
Bai Zhi pouted her mouth and spit out her tongue while looking at Hu Feng’s back.
Hu Feng entered his room, while Bai Zhi followed behind him. This was her first time going into Hu Feng’s room.
