Mo Zhaohua had no interest in these medical books. He wrote them mainly for Zhenzhu and Amber to read, so that he could justify himself when he entered Prince Yu's Palace one day.

She deliberately reminded them, "I'm in good health. Didn't I often read medical books before?"

Amber tilted her head and recalled, "Is there?"

Just then, Zhenzhu brought over a medical book, and Mo Zhaohua asked, "Zhenzhu, have I ever read a medical book before?"

Pearl smiled and handed over the medical books, "Yes, how could there be so many medical books in your room?"

Mo Zhaohua raised his eyebrows in satisfaction, "Did you hear that? It's obviously you who don't care about me, Miss."

Amber curled her lips and said, "Of course I am not concerned about it, but the four treasures of the study are mainly taken care of by Pearl."

Mo Zhaohua wanted to engrave this into the maid's mind, "Remember this in the future. Your young lady is not only proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, but also in medicine."

***

the next morning.

Chu Xuanhan came to the Shangshu Mansion.

On the surface, he said he came to visit the old lady, but in fact he was really worried about Mo Yaohua.

Amber got the news and rushed into the house to report, "Miss, Prince Qi is here."

Mo Zhaohua was sitting in front of the desk holding a medical book. "Did you ask me to go and greet you?"

Amber was a little surprised to see that she was not as happy as usual, "No, Miss, are you not going?"

Mo Zhaohua raised his head from the book and said, "Why should I go? If outsiders find out, they will talk nonsense."

Amber became more confused after hearing this, "But didn't Miss..."

Mo Zhaohua made an excuse, "It was during the mourning period before, but now it's out of mourning. If I'm not careful, my reputation will be ruined."

Amber suddenly realized, "Oh, that's right, Miss is ready to be married, this will give others the opportunity to slander Miss."

Mo Zhaohua avoided seeing her, but Chu Xuanhan wanted to see her. Since it was inconvenient for her to come to the boudoir, he asked the guards to invite her to the back garden. She had no choice but to go because of his status.

In the pavilion in the back garden, Chu Xuanhan stood by the railing, looking at the handsome man with his jade-like face.

In his previous life, Mo Zhaohua was deceived by his modest gentlemanly appearance, but now he felt extremely disgusted, as if he saw a beast in human skin.

A beast in human form, this is what people like him are talking about, right?

When Chu Xuanhan saw Mo Zhaohua coming over, a gentle smile instantly appeared on his face, "Zhao Zhao..."

Mo Zhaohua did not respond, but put his hands on his waist and bowed to him, "Long live His Royal Highness Prince Qi."

Chu Xuanhan smiled and reached out to help her. "There are no outsiders here. Zhao Zhao does not need to bow to me."

Mo Zhaohua took a step back and said, "I am still unmarried, Your Highness, please consider my reputation."

Chu Xuanhan chuckled, "Zhao Zhao is reminding me that you are out of mourning. Should I ask my father to grant me a marriage with Zhao Zhao?"

Mo Zhaohua resisted the urge to slap him, "Don't misunderstand me, Your Highness. I have no intention of forcing you to marry me."

Chu Xuanhan remained calm, "I understand your thoughts. After your coming-of-age ceremony, I will ask my father for permission to marry you."

Mo Zhaohua didn't dare to refuse directly, for fear that if she did so it would only force him to ask for permission more quickly.

She has not yet expressed her feelings to Prince Yu, nor has she made any efforts for their marriage, so she must remain calm.

Chu Xuanhan chatted for a while, and then his fox tail was exposed, "I just went to see your grandmother and heard that your third sister caught a cold."

Mo Zhaohua replied indifferently, "Yes, she was accidentally pushed into the lotus pond by her personal maid the day before yesterday."

Chu Xuanhan took the opportunity to ask, "Is the illness serious?"

Mo Zhaohua deliberately didn't give an answer, "I don't know, I went to Baohua Temple to pick up my grandmother yesterday."

In fact, she knew very well that Amber had already inquired about it. Mo Yaohua had a high fever yesterday and had not been able to get up today.

However, she believed that even if she didn't answer, Chu Xuanhan would be able to know Mo Yaohua's condition with his ability.

"Have you visited her today?" Chu Xuanhan said, "I remember that you have a very close relationship with her."

Mo Zhaohua knew it very well. He just wanted to use him as an excuse to go and take a look at Mo Yaohua. Even if this broke the rules, it would not affect his reputation.

"I went to Baohua Temple yesterday and was exhausted. I was lazy and didn't get up in the morning. I didn't get up until His Majesty came."

Mo Zhaohua refused to mention going to see Mo Yaohua, and would no longer serve as a pretext or a wedding dress for them like in his previous life.

Chu Xuanhan was still thinking of using her. "It's really hard to go to Baohua Temple. Now that Zhaozhao has gotten up, do you want to go see the Third Miss?"

Mo Zhaohua was not fooled, "I should go and learn how to be a housekeeper from my mother. I will go to see my third sister in the afternoon."

Except for those who belittle themselves, the legitimate daughter of a noble family will never become a concubine. When she is in her teens, she will learn housekeeping from her mother to accumulate experience for becoming a mistress in the future.

Mo Zhaohua had already learned all this, and would usually help Rong Qing with housework, but since she had already said it, Chu Xuanhan couldn't keep her.

Chu Xuanhan was unhappy in his heart, but his face remained warm. "In that case, Zhao Zhao should go see Madam Mo first."

"I'll take my leave first." Mo Zhaohua bowed and left with Zhenzhu, his attitude always lukewarm.

After they walked away, Chu Xuanhan's face darkened, "Why is this bitch a little different?"

Guard Leng Yan thought for a moment and said, "Perhaps he is being cautious in order to avoid criticism as they are about to discuss marriage."

Chu Xuanhan's eyes were cold, "This bitch, for the sake of her so-called reputation, has prevented me from meeting Yaoyao openly."

Leng Yan consoled him, "Master, don't worry. Lord Mo knows how you feel about the Third Miss and will not dare to treat her badly."

Chu Xuanhan was still worried, "Please make some arrangements. I will see Yaoyao tonight."

Leng Yan kindly reminded, "Master, you and Miss Mo Er haven't been engaged yet. If she finds out..."

Chu Xuanhan didn't take Mo Zhaohua seriously at all. "Are you stupid? What can she find out in the middle of the night?"

Seeing that he couldn't persuade her, Leng Yan had no choice but to agree, "Yes, Master!"
