Crossing the World: This Prince is a Little Sweet

The mother-in-law looked at the sparse cloth in Chu Xi's hand and asked her puzzledly.

"This is for use at night. Tie it to the bed and lie down inside to rest. Mosquitoes won't be able to fly in and bite you."

Chu Xi held it up and showed them its use.

Everyone suddenly realized that there was such a thing.

The houses of wealthy families all have curtains, but ordinary people like them are not so lucky as to be able to afford things like curtains.

"Then what's the use of these densely packed little holes? Can't mosquitoes get in through these holes?"

One of the ladies looked at what was in front of her with confusion.

"No, mosquitoes can't fly in. These small holes are convenient for people to breathe and it won't be too stuffy.

Perfect for hot summer days.”

“Is it really that magical?”

"Yes, if you don't believe me, try it tonight."

Chu Xi was very confident. After all, this thing was a must-have for every household in modern times.

Hearing Chu Xi say this, everyone became very excited and sped up their work, hoping to finish the work before sunset.

"Mother-in-law, what are you doing?"

Xiao Yuhan looked at the people dancing inside and frowned slightly.

Hearing the newcomer's voice, everyone was stunned and stood still.

"Young Master..."

The witch grandmother was the first to come back to her senses. She looked at Xiao Yuhan, who was wearing a dark black robe, with a look of joy on her face.

"Have you come out of seclusion, kid?"

Xiao Yuhan didn't respond to her, but looked at Chu Xi.

Looking at the handsome young man in front of her with red lips and white teeth, Xiao Yuhan saw through her at a glance that she was a woman disguised as a man.

"Are you the Master Chu they are talking about?"

Chu Xi looked at the tall man approaching, without any panic, but bowed humbly:

"Exactly down"

"I heard that you are an excellent doctor?"

"Young Master, you are too kind. I only know a little bit."

"As soon as you got out of prison, you came here to call me to task. Don't you think highly of an old man like me?

I warn you, don't hurt this girl."

The witch grandmother, leaning on her cane, quickly stood in front of Chu Xi.

"My mother-in-law's words really hurt my heart..."

Xiao Yuhan pretended to be sad.

"I came here to see you right after I came out of seclusion..."

Xiao Yuhan was not annoyed when questioned by the witch grandmother.

"Humph, you still have some conscience.

You have been in seclusion for a month, and you didn't even know that the situation in the tribe was about to change. You just want to tire me to death... so that you can feel at ease."

The witch grandmother kept accusing Xiao Yuhan and almost poked him with her cane.

"Mother-in-law..."

Xiao Yuhan's voice suddenly turned cold.

When the witch heard him call her like that, her expression was slightly stunned, and she knew that this boy didn't have much patience.

"You kid, come with me..."

After the witch grandmother finished speaking, she staggered up to the second floor with her cane.

Xiao Yuhan's dark green eyes looked back and forth at Chu Xi, as if he wanted to see through her.

"Little Lord……"

Chu Xi felt his palms sweating and inexplicably guilty when he was stared at so bluntly by him.

"Woman, don't play tricks, or I won't mind throwing you away to be used as food for the Gu worms."

Xiao Yuhan left his words and went straight up to the second floor.

"Miss……"

"princess……"

Ziyi and Qingfeng came over and asked anxiously.

"Don't worry, I'm fine."

"Mr. Chu, are you okay?"

The three weaving ladies also came forward to check.

"Mr. Chu, don't worry too much.

Our young master has a bit of a cold temper, but he is still a good person."

A weaving lady whispered soothingly.

“Master Chu, don’t mind it, our young master is like this, he doesn’t like to speak.

But it’s good for us.”

Another weaving lady also said.

Chu Xi shook his head and said to them with a smile:

"I'm fine, you all go and get busy, otherwise you won't be able to handle it today."

Everyone slowly returned to their workstations.

Upstairs, Xiao Yuhan was sitting casually on a stool, playing with the golden silkworm Gu in his hand, looking very carefree and leisurely.

"Mother-in-law..."

"What are you doing? You should act like a clan leader. All you do is study these poisonous insects..."

The witch grandmother looked at Xiao Yuhan's lazy appearance and became furious again. Her hunched back straightened a little.

"Isn't grandma here? Aren't the tribesmen still doing well..."

Xiao Yuhan ignored the angry witch grandmother and kept his tone indifferent.

"I'm almost a hundred years old, and I still have to worry about you..."

The witch mother-in-law was so angry that she stabbed the ground with her cane. She wanted to curse.

"Just like your father, he is a madman."

"Why does grandma mention him? Just treat him as if he's dead."

Xiao Yuhan put down the golden silkworm Gu in his hand, looking slightly annoyed.

"Well, your father is a sentimental man. I wonder if he has figured out a way to cure your mother's illness?"

Xiao Yuhan didn't say anything. He had no good feelings towards his parents whom he hadn't seen for more than ten years.

He grew up with his grandmother-in-law, and could not find any trace of them in his memory, but the old woman often mentioned them.

“The tribe has a clear rule that outsiders are not allowed to enter.

Why did grandma keep them here? "

When the witch mother heard his question, she sighed.

"If it weren't for this Chu girl, some of the old people and children in our clan would be doomed."

The witch grandmother sighed. She didn't want to break the tribe's rules, but human life was at stake and she couldn't joke with the lives of her tribe members like this.

After all, rules are dead, but people are alive.

"A few people die every year, why should mother-in-law take it to heart?"

Xiao Yuhan didn't care.

"You are still so cold-blooded and heartless. This kind of thing happens every year, so we have to find a way to put an end to it.

This disease is getting worse year by year. This year, nearly half of the children in the tribe have been affected. The elderly are not so bad. If we allow this disease to continue, I am afraid that our tribe will become extinct."

The witch's voice began to tremble. She didn't want the Miao tribe to decline in her hands. If something really happened, how would she face the Miao ancestors in the afterlife?

"The mother-in-law problem is not as serious as you think. Isn't the condition under control now?"

Xiao Yuhan couldn't bear to see her like this.

“It’s under control. This Chu girl is quite capable. The children were bleeding from diarrhea, but she saved them with just two doses of medicine.

I went to see him at that time, and I felt that there was no hope for survival.”

"That woman came here to help us with our illnesses. I'm afraid it's not as simple as that. Mother-in-law, don't be fooled by her."

Xiao Yuhan thought of the woman just now and his eyes narrowed slightly.

"Girl Chu does have something important to ask for."

"What does she want?"

"Secret Medicine"

"Secret medicine?"

Xiao Yuhan looked at the witch granny and snorted coldly:

"She has quite an appetite."

As expected... the purpose is not pure.

"It's normal to ask for something, but I'm most afraid that she doesn't want anything."

The witch grandmother smiled.

After all, people who don't want anything are scary.

"So what are your plans?"

Xiao Yuhan stood up and wanted to leave.

"You know, our tribe no longer has any secret medicine."

"So mother-in-law plans to give her the secret recipe?"

Xiao Yuhan's expression changed slightly and his eyes became dangerous.

"Why not give it to her? Hopefully, she can make a second bottle of secret medicine."

The witch turned her head and looked at the portrait hanging in the middle of the hall with hopeful eyes.

Xiao Yuhan followed her mother-in-law's gaze and looked at the painting without much expression.
