"Miss, the noodles are here." Xiao Cui came over excitedly with the noodles in her hand.

Shulan's mouth watered at the rich aroma of the chicken, but she didn't rush to eat. Instead, she asked, "Have you and Aunt Chen eaten yet?"

The little girl in front of me is only thirteen years old, very young.

Xiao Cui nodded and said happily, "Commander Liu sent over a pheasant and a lot of flour. My mother stewed the chicken and made noodles early this morning."

He even swallowed as he spoke.

Shulan took the large bowl of chicken noodles, looked at her like this, smiled and used her chopsticks to pick up a piece of chicken and put it in her mouth, saying, "Miss, I can't finish this much, you can eat some for me too."

Knowing she was afraid of Chen Ma, he whispered, "Don't worry, I won't tell Chen Ma."

Xiao Cui was still hesitant, but the chicken smelled so good and her mother's cooking was so good that she couldn't resist.

Then Shulan ate her noodles while feeding the little girl, and the two of them ate with great relish.

While eating, Xiao Cui said, "Miss, Commander Liu said that if you have any other interesting things, you can finish drawing them and give them to him."

"Okay, I'll draw it in a bit." Shulan knew that the pheasant and flour that were sent over were his way of making overtures.

A bowl of hot chicken noodle soup instantly made Shulan feel energized.

After thinking about it, I realized I could draw one or two more, so that even if they didn't trust me, they would know I was a valuable asset and needed to be protected.

In this way, the lives of the three members of their family will be more secure.

But before that, she had something more important to do.

Call over Chen Ma, and look at the mother and daughter, who both look kind and honest.

He said to the woman, "The kindness of raising is greater than the kindness of giving birth. Aunt Chen, you raised me, so it's not wrong for me to call you Mother."

Aunt Chen was taken aback, and hurriedly waved her hand: "Miss, you mustn't!"

Shulan interrupted her, saying, "There was nothing we could do when we were in the manor, but things are different now. We are no longer members of the Xie family. You deserve to be called 'Mother'."

The original owner actually looked down on this mother and daughter, but since he was staying in the mansion, he could only rely on their care and protection.

This single word, "Mother," is considered a way of paying off the original owner's debt.

Chen Ma's eyes reddened, and her mouth moved several times, wanting to agree but not daring to.

Shulan didn't mind, and simply said, "From now on, we will be master and servant in public, but in private, we will be family. I will make our lives better and better."

After saying that, he changed the subject again and said, "So I have a secret to tell you today, and you can't tell anyone."

The mother and daughter were immediately terrified, their voices trembling as they asked, "What...what secret?"

Shulan began to lie through her teeth: "Actually, I used to know a master in the Xie family. He taught me medicine and how to design weapons. I learned from him since I was a child, but because he didn't want anyone to know, I never even told you. I just went out every night to learn these skills from him."

The mother and daughter stared wide-eyed.

Shulan said slowly, "I was afraid that my father and the others in the Xie family would find out, so I dared not reveal anything. Even you were deceived by me because I was afraid that if they found out, it would be bad for me."

Now that we no longer need to be wary of the Xie family, I feel that we can no longer keep this from you.

This mother and daughter know the original owner of the body best.

If she wanted to practice medicine and become different from the original owner, she could only make them think that she was forced to pretend because of the Xie family.

This mother and daughter are really easy to fool.

Upon hearing this, he quickly nodded.

Aunt Chen said with satisfaction, "Miss, you did the right thing. That's how it should be done."

Xiao Cui nodded excitedly, like a chick pecking at rice, and said, "Miss, you're so amazing!"

Shulan looked at the innocent mother and daughter, smiled, and said, "So don't worry, with Miss here, you won't suffer anymore."

The mother and daughter nodded, saying that as long as they followed their mistress, they were not afraid of any hardship or fatigue.

The three chatted warmly, completely unaware that a dark figure had disappeared silently and arrived at the general's tent, telling his master what had happened since Shulan woke up.

He Fengmian was discussing something with Liu Moyang when they heard this, and both of them paused, exclaiming, "A master?"

Chu Er nodded: "Yes, Miss Xie said that everything she knows was taught by a master, and the reason she kept it hidden before was because she was worried that the Xie family would find out."

He Fengmian looked thoughtfully at the second-year student: "Did she find out?"

But after saying it, I realized I was overthinking it.

Before this person fainted, I checked his pulse and found no internal energy. He didn't seem to be a martial artist, so it's impossible that he would deliberately say those things to detect that he was in the second year of junior high school.

Holding his teacup, he took a sip and said with a rare hint of amusement, "This is quite interesting."

Liu Moyang agreed, "This lady is indeed quite interesting."

After all, their general became famous at a young age. With his beard, which girl wouldn't be startled when she saw him? Who would dare to tease their general?

He Fengmian glanced at his friend and snorted. He hadn't forgotten how his friend had laughed so heartily when the Xie family's young lady provoked him.

He didn't say anything, only saying, "Go and investigate. This general also wants to see who this expert is."
