She touched the jade pendant on her chest, a plan forming in her mind—tomorrow morning, she would go to the back mountain to see if she could find any clues left by Shen Tingzhou. Also, Old Madam Shen and Zhang Lan certainly wouldn't let it go easily; she needed to quickly plant the seeds in her spatial storage. Once the vegetables grew, they would not only provide nutrition for Nian'an but also be sold in town for money.

She knew the days ahead wouldn't be easy; Old Madam Shen's刁难 (diāonán, making things difficult for her), Zhang Lan's scheming, and Shen Tingzhou's mysterious mission all weighed on her like mountains. But she wasn't afraid—she had her spatial ability, Nian An, and now, the living Shen Tingzhou. No matter how difficult things got, she could overcome them.

Night deepened, and the courtyard was quiet except for the occasional chirping of insects. Lin Wanqiu closed her eyes, placed the brass whistle under her pillow, and her heart was filled with anticipation—she waited for the day Shen Tingzhou would return, for the day their family would truly be reunited.
