Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Seeing the look on Feng Wu’s face, which reminded him of a frightened deer, Feng Xun was even more convinced of his conclusion. Smiling wryly inside, he tried to persuade Feng Wu. “I think you should go have a look. You’ll be able to set your mind at rest afterward, right?”
“My mind is perfectly fine without it!” Feng Wu raised her voice involuntarily.
Look who was overreacting here. Feng Xun was even more sure that he had gotten to the truth of the matter. He smiled and kept his teasing gaze on Feng Wu, which gave her the creeps.
“What?” Feng Wu asked.

“No.” Feng Wu promptly left after that.
However, when she got back to her place, she found Qiuling suffering from diarrhea.
“Miss, I’m fine. It’s just a tummy upset. Let’s set out as planned.” Qiuling had some faint idea that Feng Wu was trying to stay away from the crown prince.
Feng Wu felt her pulse and frowned. “You’re coming down with a bad cold and traveling won’t do you any good. I’ll make some medicine for you. Take it and go to bed. The medicine will induce perspiration and you’ll be better tomorrow morning. We’ll leave then.”
“But, Miss —”
Qiuling was genuinely touched.
No other master but Miss Wu would change their itinerary because of a sick maid. Her mistress treated all the servants as equals and interacted with them with enough patience and respect...
“So that’s settled. Take the medicine and get a good night’s sleep. Stop worrying about everything. You always have too much on your mind.” Feng Wu patted Qiuling’s little head.
Qiuling had grown up as Feng Wu’s maid and took on everything in Feng Wu’s daily life, putting everything in order and allowing Feng Wu to focus on her studies in medicine refinement and formation without any distractions.
To Feng Wu, Qiuling had always been like a little sister.
Once Qiuling was in bed, Feng Wu and her mother went to sleep as well.

Granny Zhao sighed emotionally. “When we left the imperial capital back then, our old friends either worried about us or laughed at our choice, thinking that we had given up or were simply stupid for following the second branch of the Feng clan to Northern Border City. But if you ask me, these five years in Northern Border City have been the happiest time in my life.”
Uncle Qiu nodded. “That’s right.”
“Plus, this branch is the family that truly treats us like human beings. The lady, Miss Wu, and the young master all respect us and value our service. Have you ever been scolded by any of them?”
“No.”
“Especially Miss Wu. With her mother’s condition, she had to start taking care of the entire family at such a young age, but she never complained. She dotes on our lady, protects the young master, and cares for all of us. I sometimes feel for Miss Wu like she’s my own child.”
“Miss Wu really is the best master one can have. We’re so blessed to be working for her.”
Granny Zhao gloated. “You don’t say. Now Miss Wu can cultivate again and she’s progressing really fast. Those people in the imperial capital will jump to their feet when they find out!”
Uncle Qiu lowered his voice hastily. “Miss Wu doesn’t want other people to know about it yet and we have to keep it a secret! We haven’t found out who did those things to Miss Wu back then, and if those people find out about this... We’ll be in so much trouble!”
