"Okay, I'll help you."
Su Yujiao helped Jin Mudan get out of bed. Her legs were a little sore, but it didn't affect her standing or walking.
The situation was much better than she had imagined!
"That's wonderful, Master Xuanqing is indeed highly skilled."
"Under normal circumstances, your limbs cannot recover immediately."
"I'm lucky to have met you."
"Jiaojiao, let's go home. I want to write a letter to Ling Chen."
"good."
Su Yujiao smiled happily; such good news should be shared with loved ones immediately.
Mo Lingchen will be overjoyed to receive the letter!
"Jiaojiao, this isn't the way to the courtyard. Aren't we going home?"
"Go back to your residence and rest first. After some time, I will ask Her Majesty the Empress to arrange a new identity for you."
"After all, those who know you know that you are dead. Now that you have come back to life, it will be difficult to explain to everyone."
"Why not arrange a new identity for her so she can marry Mo Lingchen openly and legitimately in the future?"
"No one will look down on you because of your former identity anymore."
Hearing Su Yujiao's words, Jin Mudan learned that Su Yujiao had arranged everything for her, and her eyes welled up with tears again.
"Jiaojiao, we are so lucky to have you!"
"I must have done a lot of good deeds in my past life to meet you in this life."
"Same here, I must have done a lot of good deeds to meet you."
They smiled at each other, seeing trust, care, and happiness in each other's eyes.
"Jiaojiao, you're finally back! We've got news of Ziqian."
Zhou excitedly handed her the letter. In the letter, Lu Ziqian said that he received a letter from the Crown Prince on his way back to the city, informing him that Su Yujiao had gone to the Southern Frontier Kingdom.
He did not return to the capital, but immediately went to the Southern Frontier Kingdom.
When he arrived in the Southern Frontier Kingdom, Chen Yunniang had already been captured, and Su Yujiao had retrieved the Dragon-Snake Jade. The overall situation was settled.
Just as he was about to meet Su Yujiao, he discovered a mysterious organization.
The situation was urgent and of great importance, so he didn't have time to meet with Su Yujiao before he went to catch up.
He is still pursuing that group and will write back again after some time to reassure his family.
After reading the letter, Su Yujiao finally breathed a sigh of relief, relieved to finally receive news from him.
My family can rest assured now!
A month later, the day Mo Lingchen received the letter was Lu Jingming's birthday.
The Lu family held a grand birthday banquet, attended by civil and military officials, and even the Empress sent a congratulatory gift, making it a truly glorious occasion.
Lu Jingming smiled and raised his glass to toast: "Thank you all for taking time out of your busy schedules to attend my birthday banquet."
"Since I'm in such a good mood today, I have some exciting news to announce!"
"Someone, go and invite Miss Eight out."
"yes."
Jin Mudan walked out of the backyard with the help of her maid.
Today she wore a pale yellow ruqun (a type of traditional Chinese dress), with floral decorations on her forehead and red hairpins in her hair. With just a little makeup, she surpassed countless women.
Su Yujiao personally applied a light, natural makeup to her, which was quite different from Jin Mudan's previous heavy makeup.
Even if someone recognized Peony, they wouldn't dare to approach her easily in her current attire.
As everyone watched as Madam Zhou personally escorted a graceful and poised young woman, they all began to speculate about the woman's identity.
Mrs. Zhou said with a smile, "Let me introduce you all. This is my little daughter who has been separated from us for many years. Thank God, I never thought that we, mother and daughter, would be reunited one day."
As she spoke, Madam Zhou wiped away her tears with a handkerchief, and the ladies and young women present also wiped away their tears.
Those who are familiar with the Lu family know that Lu Jingming and his wife had a young daughter who went missing when she was three years old. They never expected that she would be found one day. They are so lucky.
Congratulations!
"This is such a joyous occasion."
"Congratulations, Lord Lu, on finding your beloved daughter again. You are truly blessed with good fortune and double happiness."
Everyone stepped forward to offer their congratulations.
However, a few people, while offering their congratulations, carefully examined the golden peony, feeling that it seemed somewhat familiar.
“Madam, this eighth young lady of the Lu family looks a bit like Manager Jin from Peony Pavilion. I bought rouge from Peony Pavilion before.”
"Young Master, doesn't she resemble the woman who was previously harassed by Princess Qinghe?"
"who?"
"It was the time when Princess Qinghe invited us to visit her residence."
"The princess made things difficult for a courtesan, scattering nails on the ground and forcing her to dance barefoot and play the zither without nail guards, almost ruining all ten of her fingers."
"You don't remember?"
"Oh, oh, oh, I remember now, it really does look quite similar."
The other person shook his head with certainty: "It's not her, that girl died a long time ago."
How did you know?
"I am also a man of great compassion, you know. Ever since she was harassed by the princess, I have been thinking of helping her out and taking her into my household."
"Who knew that she would be hit by a carriage and become a living dead, lying in bed for a year before finally dying."
“When the Princess of Anshun was holding her funeral, I even went to burn incense.”
"Such a beautiful girl, what a pity."
"I see, that's a real pity."
The prince laughed and said, "But you have a chance now. This girl is no less beautiful than that Peony girl."
"My noble and upright status is more than enough to match you."
"If none of us have married a proper wife, we will definitely come to your door to ask for one."
"Yes, what a wonderful marriage!"
"Consort Jing and the princess have both passed away, and the Third Prince is also seriously ill and unconscious. The Emperor is neglecting state affairs, and now the Crown Prince is in charge of the court."
"The Crown Prince's ascension to the throne is a foregone conclusion; the current situation is quite clear."
"The Lu family is the Empress's maternal family. If you can marry the Lu family's daughter, you won't have to worry about your future career."
"Yes, Brother Li, when you become a high-ranking official in the future, don't forget your brothers."
"I wish you success in winning the heart of your beauty, brother."
Li Mingyu stared at the smiling eighth young lady of the Lu family, a burning light flashing in his eyes.
As night deepened and the guests departed, the Lu family gradually quieted down, leaving only the sounds of maids and servants clearing away the dishes.
Jin Mudan knelt on the ground and kowtowed to thank the Lu family for taking her in.
Mrs. Zhou helped her up with a loving expression: "Get up quickly, the ground is cold."
"Today, your father and I publicly acknowledge you. From now on, you will be the daughter of the Lu family."
"Yes, I never thought that in my old age I would have another daughter. It's truly a blessing from heaven."
"It makes up for that regret."
"Thank you, Father and Mother. I will definitely take good care of you in the future."
"Alright, alright, good child, get up quickly."
Zhou was in a good mood, but looking at Su Yujiao, who was also smiling, she felt only a regret.
If Jiaojiao could remarry Lao Qi and become his wife, she would have no regrets in this life.
Lu Ziwei knew that there were some things her mother couldn't say to her face, and that it would also put pressure on Jiaojiao.
So, she asked Jiaojiao's opinion on behalf of her mother.
