Madam Li awoke in the late afternoon. Knowing they couldn’t keep it from her, Ping Tong and Ping Xiao reported everything that had transpired at Shuangxin Courtyard.After listening, Madam Li took a deep breath. It took a while for her to compose herself before she could open her eyes again, “Where is the eldest daughter?”Ping Tong replied, “These past few days, the eldest daughter seems to have been letting Miss Zhou help her make masks. Just now Miss Zhou came over to deliver something, the eldest daughter should be in Daohua Pavilion talking to Miss Zhou. Madam, would you like me to call for the eldest daughter to come here?”Madam Li shook her head, “No need, let her be busy with her affairs.”Before long, the sounds of greetings could be heard from the courtyard.Ping Xiao peered out the window, then turned back to Madam Li with a smile, “It’s the eldest daughter, it must be the eldest daughter. You have a mother-daughter connection, as soon as you awoke, she sensed it, and here

Daohua and her entourage were personally escorted into Xingyun Prefecture City by Lu Shuo.Now that the city gates were only open for entry and not for exit, watching the gates close again, Lu Shuo took a deep breath.They say adversity reveals true friendship, and indeed it’s true.While there were quite a few scions of aristocratic families trapped within the city, only two families had members who personally visited them. One was the Dong Family, and the other was the Yan Family. The others had almost all just sent servants to look around.Watching the several carts of medicinal materials and a few large bags of masks piled up beside the city gate, Lu Shuo’s expression relaxed a little. He then walked over with his subordinates, took two bags of masks, and prepared to distribute them to the soldiers.Whether they were useful or not, wearing them would at least offer some peace of mind.Xing Courtyard.The residence where Xiao Yeyang and others were staying.“What did you say, Daohu

“Miss, look, Imperial Physician Xu has entered Fourth Master’s room!”Wang Manman suddenly called out.Daohua turned back and thought for a moment, then said, “You all keep a good eye on the medicine. Once it’s ready, have Brother Xiaoliu come over to deliver it to the other sick patients in the residence. I’ll go over and take a look.”Inside the room.After checking Yan Wenkai’s pulse, Imperial Physician Xu could no longer contain the excitement on his face and hurriedly said to the servant, “Quick, go and invite Miss Yan over.”No sooner had he spoken than he saw Daohua walk in.“Imperial Physician Xu, were you looking for me?”Imperial Physician Xu quickly stood up, saying eagerly, “The Little Prince and Miss’s fourth brother’s condition is already improving, which proves your prescription works. May I have a look at it?”Daohua nodded with a smile, “Of course. I had intended to ask Imperial Physician Xu to look it over from the start but feared disturbing you as you were so busy.

Have Daohua and Wenxiu written back?”Upon hearing the butler’s report, the Old Madam Yan and Madam Li both showed faces full of surprise and delight.Old Madam Yan urged impatiently, “Where is the letter? Quick, bring the letter here!”Butler Sun immediately handed over the letter written by Daohua concerning their safety, “The letters from the eldest master, the third master, and the fourth master are with the master. He said he would personally bring them back after he leaves the office.”Madam Li took the letter and asked, “Did Wenxiu, Wenkai, and Wentao all write back?”Butler Sun hurriedly nodded, “Yes, they did.”Madam Li handed the letter to Old Madam Yan to read first, then clasped her hands together, “Thank heavens, since they could write back, it seems there’s nothing wrong.”By this time, Old Madam Yan had finished reading the letter, knowing that the four Daohua siblings were all fine in Xingyun Prefecture, she finally let go of the anxiety she had been holding onto, mutt

“My goodness, they have been sparring for almost half an hour and still haven’t stopped?”Yan Wenkai muttered to himself as he watched Daohua and Dong Yuanyao still entangled in their match in the courtyard.It was almost as long as the time they took when practicing their martial arts.Dong Yuanxuan chuckled, “Yuanyao and Yan’s sister are both not the type to admit defeat easily. I reckon there’s still some fighting left in them.”Xiao Yeyang also laughed, “Daohua, well, she’s quite resilient. Look, every time Dong’s young lady pushes her away, she clenches her teeth and charges back.”“While Dong’s young lady has spent a longer time practicing martial arts, whether it’s in terms of reaction speed or techniques, she’s a bit better than Daohua.”“However, Dong’s young lady doesn’t seem to have as much stamina as Daohua. If she keeps being worn down by Daohua like this, neither of them will likely get the better of the other in the short term.”Indeed, as Xiao Yeyang remarked, Daohua a
