"Waaaaah, Miss, I missed you so much! You finally let me come and serve you. You have no idea how excited I was when I received the message by carrier pigeon. I couldn't sleep all night, waaaaah..."
Seeing that Yanluo's tears and snot were about to drip onto Su Ruojin, Zhihua pulled her away and handed her a handkerchief:
"Yanluo, the Grand Elder said you should behave yourself. If he sees you like this, he'll punish you again."
Yanluo took a handkerchief and wiped away her tears, feeling a little embarrassed: "I'm just so excited. I haven't seen Miss for two years, but I think about her every day."
Zhihua bowed respectfully to Su Ruojin, saying, "Zhihua greets Miss."
Su Ruojin smiled and said, "Even though Yanluo is a year older than you, you seem more like the older sister."
Yanluo then remembered and quickly followed suit, bowing and saying, "Greetings, Miss."
Zhihua and Yanluo were "picked up" by Su Ruojin during her travels.
Because Zhihua was suffering from a serious illness and her family had no money to treat her, and because she was a girl, they simply wrapped her in a straw mat and threw her into a mass grave.
She used her last breath to crawl from the mass grave to the roadside and fainted. Su Ruojin happened to be passing by, cured her illness, and put her in the Heavenly Medicine Pavilion to study.
Yan Luo was an orphan who had been kidnapped by her brother and sister-in-law and was about to be sold to a brothel. Su Ruojin saw this, bought her for ten taels of silver, and placed her in the Tianyi Pavilion.
Zhihua and Su Ruojin are the same age, while Yanluo is a year older than them. In their hearts, they have always regarded Su Ruojin as their mistress, but Su Ruojin never allows them to call themselves servants.
Seeing the two travel-worn individuals, Su Ruojin smiled and said, "Alright, I told you there's no need for such formalities. You must be tired from your journey. Go and get some rest."
“Miss, we’re not tired, really. How could we be tired when we’re seeing you? Miss, how long will you let us stay by your side this time?” Yanluo asked cautiously.
She and Zhihua had always wanted to stay by the young lady's side and serve her, but the young lady always felt that having someone around was troublesome and had always refused to let the two of them come.
Now that they've finally arrived, she's worried that the young lady only sent them to deliver herbs, and will send them back to Tianyi Pavilion in a couple of days.
Su Ruojin naturally saw through Yan Luo's little scheme and said with a smile, "I'm opening a clinic this time, and I can't manage it all by myself, so I asked you all to come and help. As long as the clinic is open, you can stay by my side."
"Wow, that's great!" Yanlu jumped up excitedly and tried to hug Su Ruojin, but Zhihua stopped her and glared at her.
Yan Luo realized she had overstepped her bounds and quickly chuckled, "Then I'll go organize the medicinal herbs first." With that, she turned and walked towards the carriage.
Zhihua bowed and said, "Miss, there are too many medicinal herbs, so they will be delivered in two batches. This batch only contains some common herbs. The other herbs will arrive in two days. I will go and help Yanluo sort the herbs now."
Su Ruojin nodded: "Go ahead."
These two girls also learned some medical skills at the Heavenly Medicine Pavilion, and having their help would make things easier for me.
After finishing everything, it was already 8 PM when Su Ruojin arrived at General Su's room.
General Su had already woken up. The moment he saw Su Ruojin, he reached out and grabbed her hand, tears streaming down his face: "Little Six, Little Six, I've finally found you, my Little Six."
Su Jiu'an, who was taking care of Su Ruojin, looked at her somewhat awkwardly and said, "Dr. Su, I'm sorry, my grandfather just woke up and hasn't recovered yet."
Su Ruojin naturally wouldn't argue with the old man, nor did she pull her hand away, letting General Su hold her hand as she spoke softly:
"Mr. Su, it's normal for your vision to be a little blurry and your body to feel weak when you first wake up. I've already had someone prepare a medicinal bath for you, and you'll feel much better after soaking in it for a while."
