Reborn as an Ugly Wife in the Countryside-Chapter 1108 - 1110: He Is a Prince

"If it’s certain that she can be cured, I would definitely tell her, but now hope is slim, and I don’t want her to be filled with hope only to be disappointed again."

Xue Zhiyi didn’t expect Yang Ming to think this way. He understood the desire to spare his wife from suffering, but, "Are you just giving up treatment like this?"

Yang Ming shook his head, "If she returns and still insists on treating it, wants to try taking medicine, I’ll switch the medicine to what you gave. But if she doesn’t want to try, we won’t treat it. I don’t want her to be drinking medicine year after year."

Yang Ming didn’t want his wife to suffer; just having her by his side was enough. Moreover, they now had Little Liufu. Seeing Xue Zhiyi not responding, Yang Ming spoke again, "Brother Xue, is that okay?"

"Wait a moment, I’ll write you a prescription right away." Xue Zhiyi said as he sat down at the table.

After grinding the ink a few times, he began writing swiftly. It didn’t take long before a prescription was ready. He handed it to Yang Ming, "Here you go."

"Thank you, Brother Xue." Yang Ming carefully took the prescription, dried it, folded it, and placed it in front of his chest.

"No need to thank me." Xue Zhiyi understood too well. He was moved by the love between Yang Ming and Xiaoxiao, and even envious. If only An Ping were here, he would rather have no children. But, alas, there’s no ’if’.

...

When Yang Ming returned to the room, Xiaoxiao was happily playing with Little Liufu. If only such moments could last forever. He affectionately called out, "Wife, son."

Xiaoxiao looked up and asked, "Husband, where did you go?"

Treating his wife’s illness was something he could keep secret, but he didn’t want to lie about other matters. So he said, "I went to see Brother Xue and talked to him about the child’s toe."

"What did he say?"

"He said to give him some time to think it over."

Xiaoxiao pondered, although this was a minor surgery in modern times, it might not be so here. Xue Zhiyi might not have done such a thing before, so he needed to think about how to proceed. However, he is a doctor, he should be able to figure something out.

"Hmm." She agreed, while continuing to play with Little Liufu.

Then Yang Ming continued, "Wife, if the child’s toe can’t be removed, let’s leave the child on the mountain."

Upon hearing this, Xiaoxiao’s eyes widened. How could he, "Why?"

Yang Ming sighed; he didn’t want this either, but the matter needed resolution. He must inform his wife of the pros and cons, "Wife, if the child cannot have the toe removed and we take him down the mountain, he will certainly be found by the government office. By then, he might lose his life. It’s only on the mountain that he’s safest."

"..."

Yang Ming gritted his teeth, deciding to tell his wife everything about the child, "The child’s identity."

"What is it?" Xiaoxiao asked anxiously.

To avoid being overheard, Yang Ming leaned in close to his wife’s ear and whispered, "He is a Prince."

Upon hearing this, Xiaoxiao’s eyes widened further, understanding the gravity of the situation. This was no joke. Someone like them really couldn’t contend with people from the Imperial Palace. If the other side wanted the child to live, it would be fine, but unfortunately, that wasn’t the case.

"Husband, I’ll listen to you. If the child can’t have the toe removed, we’ll leave him on the mountain." Xiaoxiao made the decision, then asked, "Does Brother Xue know about the child?"

Yang Ming nodded, "Yes, he knows everything, even more than we do."
