Watching Su Miao skillfully dispense the medicine, Lu Zhong couldn't help but chuckle, "Little Miao, you quite like medicine too, don't you?"
Upon hearing this, Su Miao paused slightly while distributing the medicine, but then continued working.
"Yes, I like it."
Although she didn't raise her head, her words conveyed determination.
She used to think that she was only studying this because of Pei Yu, but later... she realized that she actually liked it herself.
During her time at Baishan, she came to understand many things.
If her brother were still alive, he would say the same thing Xie Qin said: he would want to live a good life and want her to be happy, rather than living in pain.
Although Pei Yu is dead, those who harmed him also met a bad end, and she should learn to let go of the past.
After all, she is herself, not anyone's puppet.
At the same time, she also realized the true extent of her feelings for Pei Yu and Shen Changji.
She felt respect and gratitude towards her brother, but it was more like familial affection.
But the long silence... is different.
Thinking it over, Su Miao picked up the bowl of medicine in front of her and drank it down in one gulp, not feeling any bitterness at all.
...
Three years later.
Su Miao's health had almost fully recovered, and Xie Qin was also transferred back to the capital.
Su Miao felt nervous and uneasy at the thought of seeing Shen Changji again.
She had heard about what had happened over the years.

The mother of Prince Ling was an insignificant palace maid. She became pregnant because the emperor was drunk. After giving birth to Prince Ling, she passed away.
Although the King of Qi and the King of Qin were at the height of their power in earlier years, the King of Ling was also quite capable, and his temperament was more suited to shouldering great responsibilities than that of the King of Qi.
Now that His Majesty is unwell, and both the Prince of Qin and the Prince of Qi are gone, the position has naturally been passed on to the Prince of Ling.
As a Duke, Shen Changji wielded considerable power.
The news of Su Miao's return naturally couldn't be kept from him.
As Shen Changji listened to Fang Xing's report, he lowered his eyes slightly and smiled gently.
"Master, shall we go see him?" Fang Xing asked again.
"I'm not going."
Shen Changji refused outright, leaning back lazily without the slightest hesitation.
His thin, rugged face had an added air of indifference.
...
Upon hearing that Su Miao had returned to the capital, Shen Yueyin made an appointment with her that very night.
But after Su Miao got into the carriage, she gradually realized... that something seemed wrong with the road.
