The clean clothes that Shen Yu'an had already changed into were new clothes that had been prepared for other young ladies in the mansion but had not yet been worn.
As soon as Baozhu saw Chen Yu'an, she wanted to get off the bed.
Shen Yu'an quickly took two steps forward and stopped the little girl who was about to get off the ground.
She hooked Baozhu's nose with her finger and said, "Why didn't Baozhu go to the doctor obediently?"
"Baozhu has come to see the doctor obediently. Sister will take a look too."
Qi Wenqin then noticed that Shen Yu'an's lips were a little pale, and although Baozhu had a fever, she was very lively and didn't look uncomfortable at all.
"Doctor Meng, please take a look at this girl as well."
Doctor Meng with a long beard also checked Shen Yu'an's pulse.
He retracted his fingers and stroked his beard, saying, "Miss, you have been caught in the cold wind and rain, and now you have a fever. I will prescribe a prescription for you in a moment, and you will be almost well after drinking it in two days."
Qi Wenqin pointed to a servant beside him and the palace doctor to go downstairs to get the medicine, and then signaled Shen Yu'an to put Baozhu on the bed.
"When did Miss Shen arrive in the city? By the way, where are your family members?"
"If you haven't registered with the government yet, I can help you find a place in this city. You don't have to worry about your livelihood."
Qi Wenqin calculated that Shen Yu'an's family should have arrived by now, but he never saw the family holding his jade pendant coming, and he was worried that something might have happened to them along the way.
Because of the busy work before the New Year, I didn't know that the Shen family had actually arrived here a long time ago.
Shen Yu'an thanked Qi Wenqin and said, "We arrived before the New Year, but we didn't come to disturb you because you were busy with official duties."
Qi Wenqin sincerely liked this girl who saved his precious daughter twice, and said with a smile: "It's too formal to call me sir, just call me uncle."
As they were talking, there were messy footsteps outside.
The next moment the door was pushed open and two beautiful women walked in. They were the general's wives Wen and Xin Rui.
Xin Rui spotted Baozhu sitting on the bed. She hurried over and shouted, "Baozhu!"
"Mother!"
Seeing Xin Rui coming, Baozhu's eyes turned red and she reached out from Shen Yu'an's arms to hug her.
Xin Rui quickly hugged Baozhu who was about to jump out, tears streaming down her face, her heart filled with joy of having regained what she had lost.
And Wen who followed in looked at Shen Yu'an who was sitting on the edge of the bed.
After Xin Rui calmed down, Wen asked, "Who is this girl?"
Xin Rui also found that a living person was actually ignored in front of her.
She looked towards Shen Yu'an, her eyes lit up and she said, "You are... Miss Shen?"
Shen Yuan smiled and nodded.
Xin Rui wiped away her tears and briefly explained Shen Yu'an's identity to Wen Shi.
After hearing that Shen Yu'an had saved Baozhu twice, he looked up to Shen Yu'an.
A few of them sat in Baozhu's house and talked for a while, listening to her exaggerate the heroic deeds she had just done.
Wen and Xin Rui both smiled, thinking that Baozhu was just talking nonsense and didn't take it seriously.
After a while, a maid brought over two bowls of boiled medicine and gave each to Shen Yu'an and Baozhu.
After drinking the medicine, they did not stay in Baozhu's house for long. It was already Chou hour and everyone was very sleepy.
Wen suggested that any important matters should be discussed until tomorrow.
After holding on for so long, Shen Yu'an's head was already dizzy, so he didn't have any objections.
Following the maid who brought her here again, Shen Yu'an just wanted to lie on the bed, close her eyes and have a good rest for the night.
On the second day, Shen Yu'an got up early with the help of the people in the general's mansion.
Soon after, a servant came and told her that Wen had asked someone to call her to the front hall for breakfast.
The general's mansion was extremely large, twice as large as the Bai Mansion that Shen Yu'an had been to.
Following the maid who led the way, we walked along the corridor and passed through one moon door after another. Before we reached the front hall, we met someone who was looking for trouble.
"The man in front, stop right there!"
The maid leading the way stopped immediately upon hearing the voice, turned around and bowed, saying, "Miss Third is well."
Qi Yiran didn't even glance at the maid, and looked at Shen Yu'an from head to toe with a haughty look.
She asked, "Who is this?"
The maid bowed and said respectfully, "Miss San, this is what I brought back with Miss Baozhu last night when I followed the Second Master to find Miss Baozhu."
Qi Yiran snorted and laughed, and looked at Shen Yuan with an even more unfriendly look.
Wasn't that girl Baozhu stolen away by Paihuazi? She surprisingly survived and came back alive.
Since this person came back with Baozhu, he must have been captured by Paihuazi.
Qi Yiran said with disdain: "All kinds of cats and dogs are brought into our house."
She stretched out her hand and grabbed the clothes on Shen Yu'an and rubbed them, and said in a cold tone: "Humph! You country bumpkin dares to wear my clothes."
The maid who brought Shen Yu'an was so frightened that she knelt on the ground, trembling and begging for mercy.
The clothes that belonged to Shen Yu'an were taken away by her.
The Second Master said he would give this girl a new set of clothes. She thought that the Third Miss and Shen Yu'an were the only ones with similar statures in the mansion, so she just picked up a piece of clothing that was worn by the Third Miss from among the new clothes made for the girls in the mansion.
Who would have thought... who would have thought that the Third Miss would be angered.
Shen Yu'an looked at Qi Yiran who was pinching a corner of her clothes, then looked at the maid who was kneeling on the ground begging for mercy, and pulled the clothes out of Qi Yiran's hand.
She bent down and pulled the maid, saying, "It's not your fault. Get up."
The maid, with Chen Yu'an pulling her hand, raised her head and looked timidly at Qi Yiran.
Qi Yiran glared at the maid coldly and said mockingly, "You can't even protect your own life, but you still have the mind to care about a servant. Ha~ No, you two are the same. You dare to wear my clothes with your lowly lives. I don't think you can enjoy it."
She pointed at the maid and asked, "It was you who took my clothes and gave them to this bumpkin, right?"
The maid had no choice but to break free from Shen Yu'an's hand and kneel on the ground again, begging Qi Yiran for mercy: "Miss, I was wrong, please forgive me this time."
She really regretted it now. She originally thought that the second master had brought back a noble person, so she took the third lady's clothes made of the best fabric.
But unexpectedly, this person was just one of the peasant girls who was captured together with Miss Baozhu.
Qi Yiran enjoyed the sight of the maid kneeling on the ground and begging for mercy, and when he saw Shen Yu'an still looking calm, he wanted to tear her face apart.
It would be refreshing to break this peaceful state.
She narrowed her eyes slightly, looked at Shen Yu'an and said, "Kneel on the ground and beg me to spare you, and then take off this dress in public, and I will show mercy and spare your life."
