Half a month passed in a blur.

  Lu Lingzhi’s foot injury had not yet completely healed and his recovery rate was far slower than Lu Xiangzhi’s.

  However, because he had used Lu Xiangzhi’s medicine before, he had been able to walk down for half a month, although it came with discomfort.

  “Yao Yao is going to take the college entrance exam in two days. We should go back today!” Lu Lingzhi said that he had rested in the village for half a month. He should go back to the palace to see the emperor.

  Ye Zhen had the same plan, but she didn’t plan to go with Lu Lingzhi. She thought he would stay here for at least another half a month.

  But at the time of departure, an extra carriage was prepared and she immediately understood that it was for Lu Lingzhi.

  “If we return, I am afraid that everyone would be stunned.” Mister Shan looked at Ye Zhen and said.

  Ye Zhen beamed from ear to ear. “Isn’t it surprising that Mister Shan looks a few years younger now?”


  A few days ago, she saw in a medicine book that pearl powder and some medicinal materials can be used to make ointment. She applied it to her face every night before she goes to bed.

  If one practiced it for a long time, she surmised, their skin would become light and ruddy. She made several boxes according to the formula in the book, and finally added her miraculous drops to it, and sent a box to Mister Shan, whose skin had become much ruddier now than before.

  Mister Shan couldn’t care more. He just used the ointment to pay importance to his student’s recent work. He didn’t expect that it would have some visible effects on him.

  On the other hand, Ye Zhen was pleasantly surprised and pleased. When she returns, she could explain that her change was because of the hot springs and the ointment she prepared.

  By then, people would not be suspicious.

  Mister Shan shook his head. “You have such little thoughts. In the future, people will be willing to come to you if you show such skills.”


  “Yes. We should depart at once. I’ll send some of these to my mother and grandma.” Ye Zhen enthusiastically proclaimed.

  After two hours, they finally returned to the Lu mansion.

  The moment Ye Zhen came out of the carriage, the people around her were stunned. They didn’t recognize this beautiful and delicate woman like lotus in water.

  When she appeared, her beauty radiated like spring flowers, and the people could not move their eyes away from her.

  “Sir, you should go and rest first. I’m going to pay my respects to my grandma.”


  Mister Shan nodded.

  Lu Lingzhi held Lu Xiangzhi’s hand and limped along. “Yao Yao, let’s go.”


  Third miss?!

  The surrounding servants heard Lu Lingzhi’s voice and looked at Ye Zhen in surprise. is this …… the black and thin Third Miss Lu before? Deceptive!

  Ye Zhen glanced at Lu Lingzhi and followed him silently to the room,

  Old Madam Lu had already been waiting for them in the house. She had heard that her eldest grandson was injured. If Lu Shiming hadn’t stopped her, she would have gone to the village to see Lu Lingzhi herself!

  The maid who was outside the house cried out happily, “Old Madam Lu, the third miss, eldest and fourth master have come back!”


  “Grandma, they’re finally back.” Lu Jing said with a smile.

  Old Madam Lu looked forward to finally returning her baby grandson.

  Lu Xiangzhi helped Lu Lingzhi to come in from the outside. as soon as they saw Old Madam Lu, he wanted to kneel down.

  “Hold him fast!” Old Madam Lu cried, “Why are you trying to kneel when your feet are hurt like this? Oh! My heart, my liver! Why are you so thin?”


  “Grandma, I’m not thin, I’m fat.” Lu Lingzhi said with a smile, “besides, my injury is better than half. my fourth brother and third sister are taking care of me, and I will recover in a few days.”


  Lu Xiangzhi said guiltily, “Grandma, it’s all my fault. If eldest brother hadn’t saved me, he wouldn’t have been hurt.”


  “Now that you are both fine, I can rest assured.” Old Madam Lu wiped away her tears and looked at her two grandchildren again and again, holding them in her arms.

  Ye Zhen went up to her with a smile and knelt down in front of the Old Madam. “Grandma, eldest brother and fourth brother know you miss them and they have been good.”


  Old Madam Lu looked quizzically at the little girl in front of her. Is this…… “Yao Yao?”
