After a while, Zheng Dali blushed and wiped his tears, then walked forward and bowed deeply to Lin Shuyue, saying sincerely: "Thank you for saving my Meihua's life, my lady. We will always remember your kindness."

Lin Shuyue slightly moved aside, then stepped forward to give him a false hand, and said with a smile: "Uncle Zheng, you don't have to be polite. Plum blossoms and I get along very well. I will come to see them often when I have time in the future."

"Sister, come on, I'll take you home." Seeing that the sun had risen very high, Meihua pulled Lin Shuyue and walked home.

Zheng Dali hurried to catch up, and Qingyuan also followed in the carriage.

When the onlookers saw that they were leaving, they dispersed one after another. Looking at the sun, they thought that maybe the sun could rise a little more.

After a while, Meihua took Lin Shuyue and stopped at the gate of a farmhouse.

"Sister, this is my home." Meihua introduced excitedly, then couldn't wait to push open the gate, walked in quickly, and went straight to the main house.

Lin Shuyue knew that she was worried about her mother, so she didn't say anything. She just looked around the small but complete courtyard. Zheng Dali hurried into the kitchen to pour her some water.

On the bed in the main room, a middle-aged woman with a pale face was sleeping with her eyes closed.

Meihua gently pushed open the door and slowly walked towards the bed. Looking at her sleeping mother's pale lips, fine lines at the corners of her eyes, and the newly grown white hair on her temples, her tears fell down.

At this moment, her heart was filled with regret and self-blame. If she had not been naughty that day and had not broken free from her mother's hand to watch the candy figurines, she would not have been kidnapped, her parents would not have aged several years because of worrying about her, and her mother would not have gotten sick.

"Hua'er, is that you?" Wang woke up slowly and looked at the plum blossoms beside the bed with surprise, somewhat unable to believe it.

When Meihua saw her wake up, she quickly wiped away her tears, walked up to her, took her hand, and said with a smile: "Mom, I'm back."

"Hua'er...you're finally back...I've been looking for you so hard! How could you be so cruel!"

Wang truly felt her daughter's warmth and suddenly burst into tears, as if she wanted to vent all the worry and discomfort she had experienced in the past half month.

Meihua saw her mother crying out of breath and looking like she was about to faint, so she yelled in fear: "Mom, it's my fault, don't get excited!"

Lin Shuyue in the yard and Zheng Dali in the kitchen both heard the noise and rushed to the main room.

Seeing Wang gasping for breath and her face becoming paler, Lin Shuyue's face changed, and she quickly took out a jade bottle from her arms, poured out a Yangrong Pill from it, and stuffed it into Wang's mouth.

Meihua and Zheng Dali stared at Wang nervously, and saw that in less than a moment, Wang calmed down and her face gradually turned rosy.

"Mom, are you feeling better?" Meihua excitedly held Wang's hand.

Wang only felt her body warm and her limp body regained strength. She sat up and said in surprise, "I seem to be fine."

"Really?" Zheng Dali walked forward to look at his wife who had been ill for more than ten days. Seeing that her face was indeed rosy and her voice was full of energy, he was extremely happy.

Then he bowed solemnly to Lin Shuyue and thanked her: "Thank you for the pills, young lady. If you need us in the future, please let us know and we will do our best to help you."

Wang also thanked Lin Shuyue gratefully. She knew that such an effective pill must be very precious, but this girl took it out without saying a word and saved her life.

Meihua stared at Lin Shuyue with her bright eyes. She said nothing, but silently remembered her sister's kindness in her heart. She would definitely repay her sister.

Lin Shuyue looked at the family helplessly, then glanced at the sky outside and planned to say goodbye, as there were two little girls waiting for her in the restaurant.

Hearing that Lin Shuyue was leaving, Zheng Dali and Wang tried to stop her, wanting her to have lunch before going back. However, Meihua knew the inside story and helped Lin Shuyue explain to her parents, so they gave up.

The family of three saw her off to the door. After the carriage left, the family returned to the house and looked in surprise at the two packages of cakes, two pieces of fine cloth and a bag of brown sugar on the table in the main room.

Zheng Dali looked at his wife and daughter with a serious expression, and said solemnly: "My wife, Meihua, our benefactor has been very kind to us. We must repay her when we have the chance in the future."

"Meihua, I know that my benefactor treats you very well, but you can't just follow the snake, understand?"

Wang and Meihua nodded vigorously. Meihua stared into Zheng Dali's eyes and said seriously, "Dad, I know what you mean. I will definitely keep your words in mind."

On the other side, when Lin Shuyue rushed back to the county restaurant, it was already noon. The door of Wanhelou opposite was closed, so she hurriedly got out of the car and entered the restaurant.

Qianxue and Liu Yaer saw Lin Shuyue coming back and happily went to greet her. Before Lin Shuyue could say anything, they knelt straight down and said in a firm tone, "Miss, please accept us."

Seeing this, Lin Shuyue readily agreed, "Okay, since you have decided, then stay with me. Okay, get up."

"Thank you, Miss." Qianxue and Liu Yaer were very happy and said in unison, "Please give me a name, Miss."

"Are you sure you want to change their names?" In Lin Shuyue's mind, these two little girls were different from the other purchased servants.

Qianxue and Liu Yaer looked at each other, and then said seriously: "Miss, from today on, we are yours. The former Qianxue and Liu Yaer have died under the peony flowers in Wan Mansion."

Seeing this, Lin Shuyue stopped trying to persuade them. She understood what they were thinking and wanted to abandon the sad past and embrace a new future.

She thought for a moment and said, "Qianxue, from now on you will be called Qinghe, and Yaer will be called Qingzhi."

"Thank you, Miss, for the name." The two of them kowtowed to Lin Shuyue.

Then he followed Lin Shuyue into the carriage and Qingyuan drove the carriage towards Jing'an Lane.

Back at Jing'an Lane, Lin Shuyue took Qinghe and Qingzhi to the front hall. Lin An and his wife were talking to Lin Shuyuan, and they were a little confused when they saw her coming back with two little girls.

Lin Shuyue called the two little girls forward and explained, "Dad, Mom, and Big Brother, these are Qingzhi and Qinghe. They will stay with me from now on."

"Qinghe greets the master, madam, and the eldest master." Qinghe bowed, and Qingzhi beside her also imitated her movements and bowed awkwardly.

After Li asked the two to get up, she told Luo's mother to prepare breakfast.

Lin Shuyue asked Qinghe and the other person to follow Luo's mother to the kitchen. There was a room next to the kitchen, which was a special place for the servants to eat.

After lunch, Lin Shuyue took the two of them back to the west wing.

In the main hall of the west courtyard, Lin Shuyue took out two loyalty charms from her bosom in front of them and put them into the two prepared tea bowls. Then she looked at the two of them and said, "Drink this bowl of tea."

Although Qinghe and Qingzhi had no idea what the talisman paper was, they still stepped forward, picked up the tea and drank it directly.

Lin Shuyue nodded in satisfaction, and then said seriously: "You may encounter danger at any time if you follow me, so I will teach you how to practice."

"Starting tomorrow, you two must get up at 5:00 a.m. every morning and practice basic skills first. After you have mastered the basic skills, I will teach you internal skills and swordsmanship."
