The two quickly arrived at the Wan family home. Seeing Min Nan bringing Ye

Ling back, Sun Li breathed a sigh of relief, took Ye Ling’s hand, and exclaimed,

“Why do you seem to have lost some weight?”

Ye Ling smiled sheepishly. Sun Li continued, “I heard you had dinner at Jin Zhi’s house. That child is a good cook. I figured you must be full, so I didn’t prepare extra food for you. I’ll make you some pies tomorrow morning.”

Subsequently, Sun Li inquired about Ye Ling’s work. Min Nan, standing on the side, couldn’t help but remind, “Godmother, Ye Ling has work tomorrow. Let her rest early.”

Sun Li playfully remarked, “When did you start caring for others? Alright, let’s not talk about it for now. Lingling, your room’s mattress and blanket are ready. That room is now specially prepared for you. You can stay anytime, don’t feel shy. I treat you like my own child.”

Ye Ling felt a warm glow in her heart and nodded with embarrassment.

At night, Ye Ling lay under the warm and fluffy blanket, basking in the sun’s warmth, and closed her eyes peacefully.

The next morning, Ye Ling freshened up and left with Min Nan. Min Nan initially wanted to accompany her to work, but Ye Ling shook her head, saying, “No need, Big Brother Min Nan. You go and attend to your work.”

In reality, after learning Min Nan’s true identity, Ye Ling speculated that Min Nan probably wasn’t usually very busy. However, she continued to act as if she knew nothing, keeping a distance from Min Nan outside.

Thick-skinned as she was now, Ye Ling wasn’t concerned about gossip. Still, she wanted to avoid any misunderstandings about Min Nan.

A few days later, Ah Hui’s health significantly improved, and her once-pale cheeks were gaining a rosy hue. Seizing the opportunity, Ye Ling took Ah Hui to the town.

Of course, Ye Ling had taken measures to disguise both of them, preventing anyone from recognizing their features.

Arriving at the medicine shop, Ye Ling found Mai Zi behind the counter with an abacus and an account book. Seeing Ye Ling, Mai Zi quickly came forward to greet her.

“Mr. Ling,” Mai Zi said politely.

Ye Ling nodded slightly, turning her attention to Ah Hui.

Ah Hui, unaccustomed to interacting with strangers, felt a bit nervous. However, Ye Ling had briefed her on what to say in advance, and she calmly spoke, “I’m Mr. Ling’s cousin. I wanted to inquire if you’re still hiring assistants here?”

Mai Zi was momentarily puzzled and gave Ye Ling a curious look.

With Ye Ling possessing so many precious herbs, it seemed unlikely that he lacked money. Why, then, would he have his cousin work as a servant in their medical shop?

Observing Mai Zits silence, Ah Hui continued, “I’m familiar with some common medicinal herbs. I should be able to be of assistance. Of course, if it’s inconvenient, we won’t impose.”

In Mai Zi’s mind, he speculated on Mr. Ling’s and his cousin’s circumstances. They probably faced some trouble and needed a place to lay low. Considering the shop’s location in the secluded black market, it made sense that Mr. Ling’s cousin staying there was a practical choice.

Contemplating these factors, Mai Zi found himself in a dilemma. Should he agree to Mr. Ling’s request or not?

Ye Ling remained composed. She fetched a chair, sat down, and arranged the herbs on the table.

Mai Zi, scrutinizing the herbs and recalling the second boss’s instructions, gritted his teeth and eventually nodded. He said to Ah Hui, “Alright, you can stay. Start with some miscellaneous tasks.”

Ah Hui breathed a sigh of relief and expressed her gratitude with a smile.

“Thank you, Brother Mai Zi. My name is Ah Hui.”

Ye Ling had advised Ah Hui to be polite and address Mai Zi as “Brother Mai Zi”. Despite Ah Hui’s shyness, she would unquestionably followYe Ling’s instructions, treating Mai Zi with extra respect.

Ah Hui’s words caused Mai Zi’s face to turn red. Accustomed to spending most of his time in the medical shop and rarely interacting with the opposite sex, being called “brother” by a young girl felt somewhat peculiar.

Mai Zi briefly explained Ah Hui’s tasks and the shop’s rules. Subsequently, Ye Ling took Ah Hui to the town to purchase some daily necessities. Carrying a load of items, the two then arrived at Master Bai’s courtyard.

Upon seeing Ye Ling, the other tenants greeted her with polite nods.

A woman who had previously brought mushroom soup to Ye Ling walked over, handing her a bag and saying in a deferential tone, “These are dried white mushrooms..”
