If Xie Jun insisted on going back to the imperial family after knowing the truth, Xie Heng would respect his choice. However, he would not follow Xie Jun and join the imperial court.

Unfortunately, this was not an option for them at that moment since the Third Prince would not live long enough to be the emperor. Xie Heng could not bear to see the Wei Dynasty go downhill under the leadership of the evil Great Prince.

He was once the grand secretary. Regardless of what happened, he would not let the Wei Dynasty fall to such a pathetic state.

The Great Prince and the other princes could never amount to the Third Prince in every aspect.

Zhao Chuchu lamented, “That’s right. Everything is predetermined.”

The endings for some people truly could not be changed.

Her carry-on space was just a portable warehouse. She did not possess items like the Fountain of Youth.

Her healing power was not omnipotent.

“Alright. Don’t think too much about it. Don’t you need to go to the Ruyu Center early tomorrow to teach Jixiang? Rest early then,” said Xie Heng as he patted her head. “Be it for Junjun or the Third Prince, you have already done what you can.”

“I am not vexed because I can’t save their lives. If it wasn’t for me, the Third Prince would not have been able to live for so long. Right now, every day for him is a day that I managed to seize back for him. I just feel that as humans, we are helpless when faced with many things. That is all.”

“Don’t feel so melancholic. Even if the sky collapses on us, I will still be there to hold it up for you. As long as I don’t fall, you will definitely be safe.”

“I know.”

‘Quickly go to sleep then,” said Xie Heng as he tapped her nose.

Zhao Chuchu cast a glance at him and asked, “Are you taking advantage of me?”

“Will you allow me to do so?

“What if I say no?

“I will not accept no as an answer.”

“Then, why did you ask?”

“Go to sleep,” Xie Heng coerced Zhao Chuchu.

With a flick of his finger, the candles were extinguished.

Zhao Chuchu could only burrow into the blankets.

Xie Heng also lay down on the bed and then embraced Zhao Chuchu. She habitually found a comfortable position and soon fell asleep.

As Xie Heng listened to her steady breathing, he closed his eyes and smiled. He also fell asleep.

The next morning, Zhao Chuchu woke up before Xie Heng did.

Jixiang was already practicing the steps Zhao Chuchu had taught her yesterday in the courtyard. She did all the steps perfectly.

When she saw Zhao Chuchu emerge from her room, she stopped practicing and greeted her, “Mrs. Xie, good morning. I have prepared breakfast. Should I serve it to you now?

Recently, Chang Hong was undergoing her medicinal bath treatment and acupuncture. Therefore, Jixiang took over the responsibility of doing all the house chores. She forbade Chang Hong from doing them.

Because of this, Chang Hong treated Jixiang very well too. She practically treated Jixiang as her own younger sister.

Chang Hong was also awake at this time.

Her complexion looked much better than before. Her pulse also indicated that she was getting healthier.

Even though Chang Hong currently sat out from intensive tasks and chores that came in contact with cold water, she still insisted on following Zhao Chuchu to the Ruyu Center. She helped out with easier tasks whenever she could.

Chang Hong said that she wouldn’t feel right if she stayed idle.

Zhao Chuchu let her be.

The three of them headed to the Ruyu Center after breakfast.

Usually, Mrs. Ge and the other women came to the center at three in the afternoon.

Zhao Chuchu and the others went in the morning to tidy up the center. Zhao

Chuchu also taught Jixiang about the theory regarding fitness and nutrition.

The fitness movements were not difficult for Jixiang. However, the theory about nutrition was a challenge for her because she was illiterate and could not take notes. She could only memorize all this knowledge by asking Zhao Chuchu repeatedly.

Although her method was very crude, this was the best that she could do before she learned how to read and write.

Zhao Chuc.hu repeated the points over and over again without showing any sign of impatience.

On the side, Chang Hong jotted down what she said.

When they returned home, she would teach Jixiang to recognize the characters she jotted down.

The three of them each had their own tasks, and they complemented each other well.

Due to Mrs. Ge and the other members promoting the fragrant soaps and shampoos from the Ruyu Center, in just a few days, these products had become hot commodities among the ladies in the city.

The remaining stock had all been sold.

Everyone else who wanted the products had to wait for Zhao Chuchu to produce more.

After so many days, Mrs. Ge and the other members were used to dancing with Zhao Chuc.hu daily. They had yet to slim down, but to their surprise, they felt more energetico Besides, they were addicted to the feeling of being drenched in sweat after exercising.

They had already begun to gradually fall in love with such training.

Most importantly, they felt that their movements had become much nimbler. They also did not run out of breath and became tired after walking around at home so easily.

Although they were exhausted from the training every day, once they had their medicinal bath back home, not only could they have a good night’s sleep, but they would not feel sore the next day when they got up as well.

Many of the womenfolk who were close to them were beginning to consider coming to the Ruyu Center.

Hence, for the past two days, the number of people who came to make inquiries had increased. More than a dozen women had signed up to be members..
