Seeing the struggles of the two elders in the water growing feebler, Daohua quickly asked, “Is there any rope on the boat?”A servant boy immediately answered, “Yes!”Daohua said urgently, “Go get it now!”Soon, the servant boy brought over a bundle of rope.Daohua estimated its length and deemed it sufficient, then tugged on it to ensure its strength before quickly tying one end around her waist.Seeing her do this, Dong Yuanyao quickly asked, “What are you going to do?”As Daohua tied the rope, she kept her eyes on the people in the river, “Of course, to save them.”Dong Yuanyao became unsettled, holding onto Daohua’s hand, “You can’t go. The river is so turbulent…”The rope already secured, Daohua interrupted Dong Yuanyao, “Don’t worry, I can swim, and I’ve tied the rope around me. You guys just pull from the boat; I won’t be washed away.”After speaking, she handed the rope to the strongest servant boy, “When I grab the two elders later, you must quickly pull us back, understand?”

“Master, here is the handkerchief you asked for!”Inside the cabin, Defu entered with several clean cotton handkerchiefs, glanced at Miss Yan who stood obediently, and then at their silent master sitting down. With swift movements, he placed the handkerchiefs on the table, then quickly withdrew.Upon seeing the handkerchiefs, Daohua glanced at her wet hair and immediately smiled, reaching for a handkerchief, “These are for drying my hair, right?”While speaking, she brought her black hair to the front of her body, then began to rub it with the handkerchief.Xiao Yeyang glanced at Daohua, stood up with a stern face, and snatched the handkerchief away.Frowning with confusion, Daohua asked, “What are you doing?”“Sit down!”Xiao Yeyang gestured with his chin towards the stool.Daohua looked at Xiao Yeyang’s expression, thought for a moment, and obediently sat down.As soon as she sat, she felt her hair being swept back, and turning her head, she saw Xiao Yeyang holding the handkerchief,

Daohua arrived at the rear cabin and saw Dong Yuanyao talking with the few people they had rescued. As she approached, she overheard them discussing the damage caused by the flood.Dong Yuanyao spotted Daohua and smiled, “You’re here!”Daohua nodded, glancing around the room before asking, “Where’s the person who helped me before?”Dong Yuanyao pursed her lips slightly, “While you were changing, he dived back into the river and swam to the shore.”A look of regret crossed Daohua’s face, “What a pity, I don’t even know his name. If he hadn’t lent a hand, it wouldn’t have been so easy for me to rescue Granny Gu and that odd monk onto the boat.”She laughed as she said this.“That man is quite the swimmer; to move so fast in such a rapid river! He also seemed warm-hearted, diving into the river to save others in that situation, he must be brave and kind in spirit.”Dong Yuanyao’s expression turned a tad uneasy. Back at the city gates of Xingyun Prefecture, she had spoken quite highly of

“Strange monk, is Granny Gu awake yet?”Daku had rescued the person from the river and brought them to the herbal shop, and now that everyone else had left, only Granny Gu and the strange monk were still here.It wasn’t that the two of them didn’t want to leave, it was just that Granny Gu was frail, and the ordeal of falling into the river had nearly cost her half her life; she still couldn’t get out of bed.When Daohua arrived, Gu Jian was decanting medicine.Because they were brought over by Daku, the herbal shop had cleared a room for the two of them.At this moment, Granny Gu was lying in bed, while the strange monk squatted at the doorway boiling medicine.Gu Jian glanced at Daohua and didn’t speak, but she shifted toward the doorway.Daohua peered into the room and saw Granny Gu struggling to sit up in bed.Seeing this, Daohua hurriedly went inside, helping the old woman to sit up.Gu Jian took a quick look at her and didn’t stop her.After catching her breath for a while, Grann

With Gu Jian’s help, Granny Gu slowly lay back on the bed, but her eyes were fixed intently on Xiao Yeyang.Xiao Yeyang felt uncomfortable being stared at and shifted his gaze towards Daohua, his eyes questioning, “What exactly is going on?”Daohua shrugged her shoulders and shook her head to indicate that she didn’t know either.Just as Daohua thought Granny Gu was about to say something, unexpectedly, Granny Gu closed her eyes and turned her back to them, as though she no longer wanted to see them.At this moment, Gu Jian spoke up, “My sister needs to rest now. You should leave,” his tone unmistakably brusque and unapologetic.In response, Daohua and Xiao Yeyang exchanged a puzzled look.Daohua glanced at Granny Gu on the bed, thought for a moment, and then said, “Granny Gu, you rest well. We’ll be going now.”Granny Gu did not respond, while Gu Jian began to wave them off, clearly impatient.Daohua, speechless, and Xiao Yeyang quickly left the room.No sooner had the two stepped ou

Daohua and Xiao Yeyang, one obtained a Medical Book and the other a Martial Arts Manual, were both in very high spirits, and upon returning to the Xing Courtyard, everyone could feel their joy.Yan Wenkai looked at the two and laughed, saying, “Did you find money?”Daohua and Xiao Yeyang exchanged a glance, smiled, and said nothing.Yan Wenkai wanted to ask more, but Xiao Yeyang intercepted him, “You all tidy up a bit, we’ll be able to return to Zhongzhou in the next couple of days.”Upon hearing this, everyone’s attention shifted.Daohua took the opportunity to slip away, and Dong Yuanyao followed, grabbing her arm, “What are you and Little Prince being so secretive about? What exactly did you do?”Daohua didn’t hide anything and laughed, “Do you remember the two old people I saved before?”Dong Yuanyao nodded, “It would be hard not to remember those two, what happened to them?”Daohua raised the Medical Book in her hand, “They gave Xiao Yeyang and me each a book.”Dong Yuanyao quick

Yan Zhigao was honored with an award—an event that nearly everyone in Xingzhou City who should be aware of, was indeed informed. Even officials in Zhongzhou Province with just a bit more access to information had heard the news.Zhou Residence.Old Master Zhou was reading the family letter sent back by his second son. Elder Master Zhou and Madam Zhou were sitting below, quietly waiting.After a while, Old Master Zhou put down the letter, and Elder Master Zhou immediately asked, “Father, what did Second Brother mention in his letter?”Old Master Zhou smiled faintly, “He didn’t say much, just sent his regards, and mentioned the Emperor personally praised the children who went to Jiguang for disaster relief.”A joy appeared simultaneously on the faces of Elder Master Zhou and Madam Zhou, “Was our Chengye among them?”Old Master Zhou gave his eldest son a look, “Isn’t that a silly question? Our Chengye went to Jiguang with the children from the Dong Family, the Su Family, and the Yan Fami

After dinner, Dong Yuanyao took Daohua back to her own courtyard.By then, the maids had prepared all the washing necessities and a change of clothes.“We’re about the same size, so later you can wear my clothes. Don’t worry, all of them are newly made.”Daohua smiled, “I wouldn’t mind at all.”Dong Yuanyao huffed with pretend annoyance, but her face was smiling. She liked Yan Yiyi’s straightforwardness. Since she had already accepted Yan Yiyi as a sister, of course she wouldn’t want formalities between them.She had entertained many young ladies from other families, but they were all either overly restrained or affectedly coy. Every time she dealt with them, she ended up exhausted.The way Yan Yiyi was, so direct and open, suited her just fine.“Miss, the bathwater is ready, you can change and take a bath now.”Dong Yuanyao glanced at the bathing chamber and then her eyes gleamed with mischief. She smiled at Daohua and raised an eyebrow, “Together?”Daohua let out a ‘heh’: “Why not,

Dong Yuanyao curled her lips and said, “My grandfather might be a bit worried, but my eldest uncle, he wouldn’t be worried at all.”Daohua asked with confusion, “Why?”Dong Yuanyao did not hide anything and directly said, “My eldest uncle was born of the former Madam, my grandmother is just my grandfather’s second wife.”“Ah?” Daohua’s face showed surprise.This, she truly did not know. She had only heard Zhou Jingwan mention that Dong Yuanyao’s family came from the Marquis Yongjia Residence in Beijing. The Marquis was still there, and the princely heir was Dong Yuanyao’s elder brother, the Provincial Governor.Dong Yuanyao continued, “My grandmother married my grandfather when my eldest uncle was already in his teens. At first, my grandmother wanted to form a good relationship with my eldest uncle, but he was very wary of her, especially after my father was born, he always felt that my grandmother would harm him.”“Their relationship, I as the younger generation should not say too mu

After their bath, Daohua and Dong Yuanyao shared a bed and went to sleep.“I really want you to stay at my place for a few more days, but it’s a pity, you have to go home to see the elders.” Dong Yuanyao lay in the quilt and said with regret.Daohua turned over to face Dong Yuanyao and smiled, “There will be plenty of chances in the future. If you’re free, you can come to Xingzhou to visit me; I’ll take you to my estate to have fun.”Dong Yuanyao got excited, “I heard you have an estate that’s specially used for growing flowers?”Daohua nodded, “That estate isn’t very big, but, it’s enough to keep my flower shop and rouge shop running smoothly.”Dong Yuanyao, “It must be beautiful, right?”Daohua, “Of course, I’ve collected all kinds of flowers, many of which I begged for from Grandpa Jingwan.”Dong Yuanyao turned over, “If I have time, I must go see it. These past two years, my mother has also started teaching me how to manage our estate. If it’s not too difficult, I might plant some
