"Not to mention that I am not as good as my brother, even if my brother were still alive, I'm afraid he wouldn't have the ability to overthrow the country. Your master really thinks too highly of me, Fu."

After speaking slowly, Fu Yuchi walked forward without looking back.

His life was saved by the Fu family through countless hardships. From the day his family was wiped out, his only thought was to live well. From the day he realized his feelings for Miao'er, his only thought was to live well with her.

Who would have thought of so much? To plot rebellion, overthrow the country, and restore glory—it's truly laughable.

"It's alright, sir. There's plenty of time. My master has plenty of patience."

After speaking, the shadowy figure disappeared into the thick darkness of the night, vanishing without a trace.

When Sun Miao'er woke up, there was a bowl of hangover soup on the bedside table, and as usual, Xiao Ju was taking care of her.

"Where did this come from?"

She pointed to the bowl on the table, trying her best to recall what happened the night before. She seemed to have drunk a lot of alcohol, which was so strong that she got drunk after just a few sips.

It was her master who brought her back. At first, she felt a little shy like a young lady, but gradually she got used to it.

Xiaoju picked up the hangover soup and replied softly, "It was sent from the kitchen. I heard that you were drunk last night, so the doctor in the manor specially ordered it to be prepared."

Before she could finish the hangover soup, a girl's voice came from outside.

Wang Xueru stood at the doorway, the light shining through, and the window reflected a beautiful young girl's figure. "Miao'er, I'm coming in."

Sun Miao'er was delighted to see Wang Xueru and said with a smile, "Miss Xueru, you're up so early."

Wang Xueru sat on the edge of the bed, a bell she had somehow acquired tied to her wrist, making a crisp sound with her movements, perfectly complementing her clear and bright face.

She eagerly grabbed Sun Miao'er's hand, "I heard about what happened yesterday. You guys are really amazing. You found the person in just half a day."

Sun Miao'er shook her head and said modestly, "It's all thanks to the government. We didn't help much. If anyone helped, it's my master."

Wang Xueru glanced at Xiaoju, waved for her to leave, and then whispered, "Miao'er, since Mr. Fu is your master, could you please stop him from treating Aunt Qin? What if he actually cures her?"

Sun Miao'er smiled, realizing that this was what she was worried about, and comforted her, "Don't worry, Miss Xue Ru, my master has already secretly examined Aunt Qin's pulse. He said that Aunt Qin has done too many bad things and doesn't have the blessing to give birth!"

"Really?" Wang Xueru's face lit up with joy.

“My master never lies,” Sun Miao’er said.

"Then why is he still staying in the mansion, becoming a guest of honor for my aunt?" Wang Xueru voiced her doubts.

Sun Miao'er looked mysterious and said, "You don't understand, do you? My master is a traveling doctor, and he also needs to eat and make a living. Aunt Qin has saved up quite a bit of money over the years, so my master must have made a good profit from it."

Wang Xueru was even happier to hear this, and said indignantly, "That's right, we can't let Aunt Qin off the hook! All these years, she's only been busy swindling my father's money!"

After saying that, she peeked out the door and whispered, "Also, don't trust this Xiaoju. She was bought by Aunt Qin. The manor is short-staffed, so she was sent here temporarily to serve you."

Sun Miao'er understood, but she couldn't believe that someone as shrewd as Aunt Qin would buy someone who didn't seem very clever to enter the household.

Wang Xueru opened the makeup box on the stage, and there were several silver hairpins inside. She picked them out for a long time, took out one with a floral design, and held it up to Sun Miao'er's head for a while, saying, "This looks good on you."

Sun Miao'er stayed in this room for two days. Out of courtesy, she only slept on the bed and did not explore anything else in the room on her own. Now it seems that this is Wang Xueru's former room.

“This is the house where I slept when I was a child, but I often had nightmares here, so I moved there to live with my mother.”

Wang Xueru then helped her try on several hairpins and earrings, and both girls in the mirror smiled radiantly.

Sun Miao'er found it strange. She had slept for two nights without experiencing any nightmares, or perhaps she was sleeping too soundly to even dream.

"By the way, my father is inviting Lord Zhang to the manor today. There's a banquet being held in the front yard. You'll come with me then."

Wang Xueru was very enthusiastic, and Sun Miao'er felt that her personality was a real bargain for Wei Jingnian, that straight man.

Sun Miao'er hesitated and said, "Isn't this inappropriate? I'm an outsider, how can I attend your esteemed banquet?"

Wang Xueru fiddled with the silver hairpin and laughed, "What's wrong with that? If Aunt Qin can have an honored guest, can't I have a confidant too?"

Sun Miao'er thought of something and didn't refuse. Yesterday, she reported the rent reduction in Fushui Village to Shan Qiu. She didn't know if he had implemented it after returning. If not, it would be safer to tell Magistrate Zhang in person.

If the rent could be reduced and the taxes lighter, she would feel less burdened by Granny Li.

Wang Xueru spent quite a while fussing over Sun Miao'er, finally dressing her up to her satisfaction. She then called her personal maid to bring her a new outfit. "Don't wear the one you wore yesterday. This one is new. I just ordered it from the fabric shop a few days ago. We're about the same size, so you can wear it for now."

Sun Miao'er initially wanted to decline, but she knew that given Wang Xueru's enthusiasm, she would have no choice but to accept it, so she smiled and accepted it.

The servants were busy sweeping and cleaning. Several pots of newly planted chrysanthemums were placed in the back garden, swaying in the wind with graceful flowers.

Wei Jingnian was so engrossed in answering Wang Ziqian's questions that he kept circling the stone table.

"Ziqian, why aren't you going to find your master? Why are you bothering Brother Jingnian?"

Wang Xueru walked over from a distance and snatched the book from Wang Ziqian's hands.

Wang Ziqian pouted, "I came to ask Brother Wei for advice today because the master is off."

Where is Xiao Ning?

Sun Miao'er searched around but couldn't find her younger brother, so she asked...

Wang Ziqian replied, "I've been too busy today. The nanny called Xiao Ning over to help me early this morning."

“Miss Xue Ru, Young Master Wei, you two continue your conversation. Could you please find someone to take me to the kitchen? I’d like to help Xiao Ning; this child is probably not very good at kitchen work.”

Sun Miao'er was still worried. There were many things to do in the kitchen, and Xiao Ning was used to being a page. What if he couldn't handle it and was bullied by those old women?

Wang Xueru was very generous and readily replied, "Miao'er, you don't understand your brother at all. Xiao Ning is amazing. He can remember everything that comes in and goes in the kitchen. He's indispensable in the mansion. If you hadn't wanted to take him home, we really wouldn't have wanted to let him go!"

Sun Miao'er had no idea that her younger brother had such an ability. She only thought he was smart. She had never heard of him having a photographic memory before, and she had never noticed it when he was at home.

She definitely wanted to take a good look; her younger brother might just be a child prodigy.
