My Dear Wife, Please Be Gentle!-Chapter 1231 - 1237: Bargaining

"Can I ask you two questions?"

Tangyuan nodded, "Of course."

Fortunately, the questions Master Xiao asked were not difficult, and Tangyuan answered them smoothly.

Master Xiao’s smile deepened, Bai Yifan had a good eye; this was indeed good material for learning medicine.

"If you find some free time in the next few days, come to me," said Master Xiao cheerfully. "Even though this old man isn’t of much use anymore, I can still teach you for a few more days."

He planned to pass on all his life’s experience to Tangyuan.

Bai Yifan gave a respectful gesture, "Thank you, Master."

But Tangyuan didn’t express agreement for a long time, and Master Xiao asked again, "You don’t want to?"

"Of course I do, but Master, you need to check on my mother first. She was poisoned when she was pregnant with my brother, and even my father wasn’t sure if my brother is safe," Tangyuan stated her condition.

The old master grumbled, "You’re really an ungrateful little thing!"

How many people in the world dream of receiving his guidance, yet this girl dared to bargain.

However, despite his complaint, he still asked Qiao Duo to sit beside him and carefully took her pulse.

"I’ve heard about your situation from Yi Fan, and it seems all is well for now. The supplements Yi Fan prescribed are just right. You should continue to take them, and by the time you give birth, this little fellow will be nicely nourished too." freeweɓnovel.cøm

"It’s a boy?" Tan Zhenghong was sullen.

He had accepted the fact that there would be another child, but why couldn’t it be a girl?

With a head full of black lines, Green Group objected, "Dad, aren’t you being a little too obvious with your favoritism?"

He dared to pat his chest and say he wasn’t troublesome, so why wasn’t he welcomed?

Or was it that daughters are cherished, while sons are picked up from the streets?

Tan Zhenghong fell silent; he was indeed jealous of his own son, especially when Duo’er was breastfeeding, wishing he could throw the little thing out.

But he guessed that such a reason would be laughable if said aloud.

Qiao Duo pressed her lips together, "You reap what you sow, just accept it."

Besides, having a son wasn’t bad either; there would be one more person to protect Tangyuan in the future.

Tan Zhenghong sighed, "How much debt did I owe in my past life?"

How could it be so easy to bring children into the world by accident?

Medicine King was a bit astonished; he had dealt with the privileged all his life, and some families cherished their daughters like jewels, pampering them from birth, with a grand dowry when they married. But this was his first time encountering someone who resented having a son.

This family... was quite interesting, and it seemed the days ahead wouldn’t be dull.

Tangyuan curiously asked, "Master, how could you tell my mother is carrying my brother?"

"If you want to know, then study well with me."

"Don’t worry, I won’t be lazy," Tangyuan hurriedly nodded.

Master Xiao was finally satisfied, "Then you’ll stay in my medicine cottage, and I’ll teach you how to take pulses in a while. Yi Fan, you’re now in charge of all Medicine King Valley affairs and there’s no need to report to me."

In the limited years of his life, he only wanted to peacefully teach a disciple who would be looked up to by others.

Bai Yifan pouted, "Master, have I fallen out of favor?"

To those who practiced medicine, experience was far more valuable than just knowledge from books.

He used to be the heir to his master’s medical legacy, but now it seemed his master planned to directly pass it on to Tangyuan.

"Tangyuan is cuter than you, smarter than you, and even more articulate than you, what do you think?" Master Xiao looked at Bai Yifan with disdain.

Turning to look at Tangyuan, his expression softened into a fond smile.

Hmm... Why hadn’t he thought of taking on a female disciple before?

Certainly, they couldn’t be as much trouble as the few rascals he had taken on.
