As soon as she entered the room, the quite observant Xiao Linshuang noticed that Lin Yuan’s expression was a bit off. Upon seeing the familiar notebook in her hand, she instantly understood.

"Big sister, you."

Lin Yuan looked at the five-year-old little sister in front of her. At five, children are at their most intelligent, adorable, innocent, and lively, but it is also the time when they are the most malleable, and the most likely to inadvertently stray down the wrong path.

It wasn’t that she didn’t trust Lao Fan, her main concern was her little sister. At such a young age, she had already been exposed to medical skills and poison technique. If she wasn’t guided properly, Lin Yuan feared that as she grew older, it would become harder to manage her.

"Little sister, when I was tidying up the bed just now, I found this notebook." She didn’t admit that she had searched for it on purpose, not for any other reason than the fact that no one likes their privacy invaded, even if it’s a five-year-old girl.

Xiao Linshuang always believed what her big sister said, so if she said it was found unintentionally, it was unintentional.

The little girl felt no resentment towards her big sister at that moment, but rather full of guilt.

Her little face flushed red, she lowered her head and said sheepishly, "Big sister, I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have.

.. shouldn’t have kept it from you. This notebook was given to me by Grandpa God Doctor before he left.

He told me to study it well, so if someone bullied me again, I wouldn’t be helpless. "

Lao Fan, of course, had good intentions, but he had left in such a hurry that he likely didn’t have time to properly teach Xiao Linshuang when to use poison technique and when not to.

Lin Yuan didn’t get angry; instead, she smiled, extended her hand to the little sister, and had her sit by her side. She asked, "Just now, big sister took a glimpse. You don’t mind, do you?"

"Not at all, not at all, how could I? Big sister can look whenever she wants."

Xiao Linshuang hurriedly waved her hands and shook her head.

In fact, she had been wanting her big sister to see the notebook for a while now, but Grandpa God Doctor had said when he left that it might be something problematic.

If her big sister found out, she might not let her continue learning it.

That’s why she had been covertly reading it without letting her sister know.

Lin Yuan patted her little sister’s head and casually flipped to a new page.

Looking at the densely packed writing inside, she was curious how much her little sister could understand.

"These characters, do you recognize them all? Although big sister has taught you some characters, there are still quite a few in this notebook you haven’t learned. "

Upon hearing this, Xiao Linshuang immediately became excited, knelt on the kang bed, grasped her big sister’s arm tightly, her eyes sparkling with excitement: "I recognize them! Big sister, you don’t know but Brother Xia taught me these!

The characters that Brother Xia read to me once, I can remember the next time I see them, and Brother Xia even praised me as a little prodigy! "

Lin Yuan was dumbfounded. Brother Xia? Was this how Xia Zheng had Xiao Linshuang address him in private? He really had the audacity!

"Cough cough, little sister, the term ’brother-in-law’ is not something you can just call anyone. From now on, you should call him Brother Xia, understand?" Lin Yuan instructed Xiao Linshuang, quite seriously.

To which the little girl blinked, tilted her head, and asked, "Why? Brother Xia said that after big sister marries him, I still have to call him ’brother-in-law’. Either way, I’ll have to call him that, so what’s the difference if I do it sooner rather than later?"

Lin Yuan was left somewhat speechless, discussing the matter of ’brother-in-law’ with a five-year-old girl was indeed a bit challenging.

"Little sister, let me tell you, ’brother-in-law’ isn’t just a term you can call anyone.

If he wants you to call him brother-in-law, he should give you a red envelope first." Lin Yuan finally came up with a brilliant method of persuasion, her eyes shining as she instructed earnestly, "Little sister, did he give you a red envelope? "
