Upon hearing this, Feng Wan'er finally understood and said, "I remember seeing you once when I visited your residence. I never expected to see you here."
Xu Zhi said, "Sister Wan'er, don't be afraid. My brother has already told me about your situation, so I naturally know you're going to Yuezhou. I was even thinking of visiting you after I got there, but I never expected to run into you here."
Feng Wan'er coughed again, and Lin Mama quickly handed her a handkerchief and a water cup. Seeing Lin Mama's pale face, Feng Wan'er patted her hand and said, "Mama, don't be afraid. This Miss Xu won't do anything to me. The medicine I'm using was given to me by her maternal family."
Lin Mama was relieved to hear Feng Wan'er say that.
Feng Wan'er asked Xu Zhi, "Sister Xu, aren't you in Ganzhou? Why are you going to Yuezhou?"
Xu Zhi sighed and said, "After I married Brother Zheng, he was immediately sent to Yuezhou by the Ministry of War. So I simply took my aunt with me to Yuezhou. However, we traveled slowly along the way. It has been more than a month since we left Ganzhou, and we still haven't reached Yuezhou."
Upon hearing this, Feng Wan'er smiled and said, "I really didn't expect you to be going to Yuezhou too. This makes me feel more at ease."
Xu Zhi said, "However, I probably won't be in Yuezhou often. I need to learn how to do business from my third uncle. My third uncle said that to do business, you have to start by learning how to be a traveling merchant. Later, I will go to many places with my third uncle."
Upon hearing this, Feng Wan'er asked in surprise, "Sister Xu, what are you doing?"
Xu Zhi explained her plans again, and to everyone's surprise, Feng Wan'er's eyes lit up the more she listened. When Xu Zhi finished, Feng Wan'er grabbed Xu Zhi's hand and said excitedly, "Sister Xu, can I come with you?"
Upon hearing this, Xu Zhi looked at Feng Wan'er in surprise.
When Feng Wan'er saw Xu Zhi's gaze, she felt a little embarrassed. She felt that her behavior just now was somewhat impolite. However, when she heard what Xu Zhi was going to do, Feng Wan'er felt that if she did not do it with Xu Zhi, she would regret it for the rest of her life.
Xu Zhi said, "Sister Wan'er, it will be very tiring and difficult."
Feng Wan'er said, "I'm not afraid. I've already died once, so why would I be afraid of hardship or fatigue?"
Upon hearing Feng Wan'er's words, Xu Zhi was stunned. Feng Wan'er gave a bitter smile and said, "Sister Xu, I am now a person without status. Feng Wan'er of the Feng family in the capital is already dead, while the Shen family in Yuezhou will have a daughter born to the third branch. However, this girl has been weak since childhood and has been recuperating away from home. Sister Xu, although the Shen family is my maternal family, even if I go there with the title of the daughter born to the third branch of the Shen family, I will still be living under someone else's roof."
Hearing Feng Wan'er's words, Xu Zhi couldn't help but empathize. Feng Wan'er was only going to her maternal home. When she lost her parents, wasn't she also like a guest in her own home?
Feng Wan'er said, "After I woke up, I kept thinking about how to make the most of the short few decades of my life. Sister Xu, after hearing your words today, I feel enlightened. I hope you won't think I'm foolish and will help me with this. Even if I can't accompany you on your business trips all over the country, I can still help you take care of orphans who have lost their parents and relatives, right?"
Having someone to help share the burden would be ideal, but thinking of Feng Wan'er's health, Xu Zhi felt a little reluctant and said, "Sister Wan'er, is it your health?"
Feng Wan'er smiled and said, "I'll take good care of my health. Sister Xu, you must trust your sister. After you open the orphanage, you must let me do some work. When I go to Yuezhou, I will take good care of my medicine and my health. I will definitely help you do things well in the future."
Xu Zhi noticed that after Feng Wan'er said those words, she looked completely different from when she first came in. Even Lin Mama, who was serving her, felt that her young lady looked much more energetic.
Xu Zhi held Feng Wan'er's hand and said, "Sister Wan'er, you must take good care of your health and not pay attention to gossip. Once I have mastered my skills and opened the orphanage, I will definitely ask you to come and help me."
Feng Wan'er said, "Sister Xu, then it's a deal."
