Together with everyone in Jingyuan, they worked until evening to pack all the things to be taken from the courtyard into boxes. But that wasn't all; Amei, along with several maids and servants, began to check each box one by one, just in case anything was missed or not properly packed.
In fact, no sooner had Amei left than Min Yueqing stored the valuables from those boxes into her spatial storage. Of course, keeping them neatly arranged had its advantages; at least Min Yueqing didn't have to spend any extra effort reorganizing them.
The next morning, after having a hearty breakfast at Hejing Courtyard, the group set off by car.
Min Mansion
That day, Min's father happened to be on leave and was at home. He was playing chess with his wife in the side hall when he heard a servant report that Min Yueqing had brought him something. He immediately ordered that she be brought in.
A young apprentice followed quickly over. This was the first time he had been personally summoned by the master, and he was understandably nervous. After all, even his father was just an ordinary steward in the outer courtyard of the Min family mansion, and rarely had the opportunity to see the master in person.
"Did the young lady send you to deliver something?"
As soon as the young waiter entered the hall, he heard the master ask a question. He quickly bowed and replied, "Yes, it was Steward Liu who sent me. He said that Miss specifically instructed me to personally deliver this small box to the master."
As he spoke, the young man presented a small box with both hands.
Madam Min hurriedly gestured to her head maid to bring the box over. The head maid, Zilan, knew that Madam was most concerned about her young mistress, so she quickly took the small box from the young shop assistant and placed it neatly on the small table.
Mr. Min was impatient, so he immediately peeled off the seal on the small box, opened the lid, and saw a letter and a crystal-clear jade bottle inside.
Mother Min, who had been sitting opposite Father Min, walked over to him and said, "Quickly look at what's written in the letter. Qing'er hasn't sent any letters in a long time."
Although they were both in the capital, their daughter's husband was being targeted by a eunuch, which prevented them from having normal contact with their daughter for so long. Whenever she thought about it, Min's mother couldn't help but sigh and worry.
Wasn't Min's father the same? He just didn't want to show it, lest he make his wife even more heartbroken. In his heart, he had cursed Jia Ren countless times.
It is a pity that the current emperor not only neglects his duties but also often misses the morning court sessions. He is also biased and easily swayed by others, which has led to eunuchs interfering in politics. The court and the country are in a state of chaos, and honest, outspoken, and dedicated officials have been demoted or even imprisoned one after another.
A bunch of sycophants who only know how to flatter have risen to high positions; it's truly a reversal of the natural order!
As soon as Mr. Min opened the envelope, he saw his daughter's familiar handwriting. Suppressing his excitement, he read on with his wife.
The letter was short. It began with the essential greetings to the parents, followed by inquiries about their health. The letter then explained the reasons for the upcoming journey and the schedule, and ended with a mention of the jade bottle in the box.
It was said that this trip to the manor to relax involved taking Pei Ji on a trip to the nearby mountains. Unexpectedly, they encountered a reclusive master, and this jade bottle was a gift from him. Inside the bottle were spiritual medicines refined by the master after traveling all over the country and collecting many rare and precious herbs. If someone is seriously ill, taking one pill can prolong their life.
The reason this letter is short is mainly because Min Yueqing was afraid of revealing her secret by writing too much, so she had to keep the letter brief and concise.
As for the expert mentioned in the letter, that's pure nonsense. If there really is an expert, it's only Min Yueqing herself. However, this pill does have miraculous effects because Min Yueqing infused it with her supernatural abilities, which can cure illnesses and save lives in critical moments.
This was a solution that Min Yueqing came up with after much deliberation, serving as a safeguard for her parents.
Although by modern standards, Min's parents were not considered old, the medical standards here were quite poor, based on what Min Yueqing saw after transmigrating.
If something were to happen, she would be thousands of miles away, and by the time she received the news, everything would probably have already been settled. She was really worried.
After reading the letter, Mr. and Mrs. Min looked at each other in silence, both with deep worry in their eyes.
Mr. Min turned to the young waiter and asked, "Do you know when Miss has decided to depart?"
The young waiter answered truthfully. He thought to himself that Manager Liu's guess was too accurate; when he came out, Manager Liu specifically told him that the young lady had decided to depart early this morning.
It was almost noon, and after hearing this, Father Min was even more agitated. He couldn't sit still, so he put down the letter, got up, and paced back and forth in the room a few times. Then he waved his hand, signaling all the servants in the side hall to leave.
Zilan noticed that the master and mistress were in a bad mood, so she quickly told the maids in the hall to go outside. When she passed the young waiter who was standing there blankly, she even helped him up.
Only then did the young waiter dare to raise his head slightly. After seeing Zilan's signal, he quickly retreated and stood in the courtyard with the others to wait.
After everyone had left, Mother Min wiped away her tears with her handkerchief and said, "This child, having had such a miraculous encounter, should have kept such a precious elixir for herself. Instead, she went out of her way to bring it to us. And now she's gone so far away..."
As Mother Min spoke, she grew increasingly frightened, and tears streamed down her face, soaking her handkerchief in the blink of an eye.
Mr. Min sighed deeply, "This child must have been afraid we wouldn't let her go, so she deliberately acted first and informed us later. It's true what they say, once a child grows up, they're no longer under their parents' control. Alas..."
He had married his daughter to someone so close by, and his son-in-law was excellent in every way, so he couldn't help but worry about her all the time. Now, she was suddenly going to go so far away. How could he be at ease?
Leaving aside the worries of the two elders, after several hours of travel, Min Yueqing and the others had left the capital.
It must be said that the difference between the inside and outside of the capital is huge, especially in terms of road conditions. The roads inside the capital are very smooth, but once you leave the city, even the main roads are in poor condition.
