Yan nodded and said, "You must have suffered a lot in the past two days."

"I asked the kitchen to stew some soup so you can use it to nourish yourself later. Look, your face has become smaller." Qian Xiaoxiao felt very distressed.

Tianbao touched his face and said, "No, I am not thin at all..."

"You've lost weight. Don't be away for such a long time next time. Even if you go, ask us to bring you some food."

Tianbao took Qian Xiaoxiao's arm and leaned on her shoulder. "I know, I know, sister-in-law."

"Is my aunt back?" Li Xiaoning's voice came in before she arrived.

"Aunt..." Mei Jing'an followed behind.

Two people ran in one after the other.

"Slow down, don't fall." Yan said with a smile.

Li Xiaoning and Mei Jingyan hugged Tianbao who had just stood up, "Aunt... we missed you so much."

"Aunt, you are finally back. We almost went to look for you." Mei Jing'an continued.

"I'm back now, right? Is everything okay in the medical clinic recently?" Tianbao asked.

"That's great. We can cooperate with everyone if there is nothing to worry about. They care more about the management than we do." Mei Jing'an smiled.

"That's right, they care more about it than we do." Li Xiaoning also agreed.

Isn't it true that he cares about it? The Qiao and Yang families are gone, and he doesn't know what to fear from the remaining Rong family.

Now everyone just wants to manage the medical clinic well, make a good impression on the county lady, and leave a good reputation for their family.

"Tianbao, we are going back tomorrow. We have been out for so long, everyone must be worried. We are also going to take Qiyue back to recognize our ancestors." Yan said as she took Shen Qiyue's hand.

Shen Qiyue looked at Yan Shi with a smile. Although Mei Jing'an was reluctant to leave Yan Shi and Shen Dayou, she also knew that they would not stay here for long.

It's July, and she's been away from home for more than ten years. It's time for her to go back and see her relatives.

"So soon, won't you stay a few more days?" Tianbao was reluctant to leave them either.

Yan smiled and shook her head, "No need to stay. We will leave sooner or later. We feel relieved to know that Nannan is doing well and July can stay with us."

Tianbao quickly asked Yuexin and Zhiya to prepare things to bring gifts to their family.

Fortunately, I had prepared in advance.

"July, when you go back, please give this letter to my master, Dr. Fan. He lives not far from my home." Tianbao took out the letter that had been written in advance and handed it to her.

Shen Qiyue took it with both hands and said, "Okay."

Yan and Shen Dayou took Shen Qiyue away, and Mei Jingyan and the Mei family also came to see them off.

We also prepared a lot of things for them to take back to their families.

Li Jin arranged for an escort to take them back.

After all, the journey was long, and everyone was worried about the three of them going on the road, so Shen Dayou and Li Jin hugged each other reluctantly.

"Brother Shen, have a safe trip."

"Brother Li, you should take care of yourself too."

The two were reluctant to leave each other, while Mei Jing'an was held in Yan's arms for comfort.

"Come back when you have time. We will always be your family."

Mei Jingyan's eyes were filled with tears. "I know, I will miss you." Then she looked at Shen Qiyue and said, "Sister...you have to take good care of yourself too. We need to write to each other often."

Shen Qiyue's eyes also turned red. "Okay, sister, don't worry, I will take good care of my parents."

Mei Jingyan hugged Shen Qiyue again, "Good sister."

Yan pulled Tianbao and Li Xiaoning and said, "Tianbao, Xiaoning, you should take good care of yourselves, especially Tianbao. You must not rush to the front if there is any danger in the future."

Tianbao nodded, "Well...Mrs. Shen, I understand. Don't worry about me. You should also take good care of yourselves."

Yan nodded repeatedly and hugged Tianbao and then Li Xiaoning.

Finally, they had a conversation with Qian Xiaoxiao again, and it was only after several veteran escorts came to urge them that they reluctantly got on the carriage.

Madam Mei patted Mei Jing'an and said, "Don't be sad. I will go back with you later, or ask your elder brother or second brother to go back with you."

Mei Dalang and Jilang nodded quickly, "Yes, yes."

"If my sister wants to go back later, we can go back."

Mei Jingyan nodded with emotion, "Okay."

After everyone went back, Master Yin came over.

"Sir, I have found a few more scholars who are willing to teach at the county school. There is also an old gentleman who is a Jinshi but has retired due to some personal matters. He is very knowledgeable."

Upon hearing this, Li Shubai quickly asked Yin Zhubu to take him to meet the old gentleman and several scholars in person.

After Li Shubai left, Tianbao and Li Xiaoning went to the backyard hand in hand.

"Let's not go out these two days. Let's rest at home for a few days," said Li Xiaoning.

"Okay, I'll listen to you." Tian Bao said, looking at Yue Xin beside him, "Help me get those medical books on the bedside table."

Yue Xin smiled and nodded, then turned and went into the room.

"Miss...try these dishes that Sister Qin Wu and I just learned to make."

Zhiya and Lulan came over each holding a tray. Zhiya put the tray on the stone table and began to introduce the girls.

"This is fermented tofu, this is crystal winter melon dumplings, and pearl jade glutinous rice balls. These are what Sister Qin Wu taught us."

"And here, Miss, Princess, take a look." Lu Lan also placed the food on the tray one by one.

"Sweet and sour lotus root, jade bean cake, and golden cake with jam."

"Wow, we are in for a treat today. It looks delicious." Li Xiaoning lowered his head and smelled it.

Tian Bao smiled and looked at them. "Did Qin Wu teach you all this? Does she know so much?"

Li Xiaoning asked curiously, "Wasn't she sold to her husband's family by her parents? It seems that she is not from a wealthy family. How could she have so much?"

Lu Lan knew what Li Xiaoning was suspicious about. "Miss, I have found out clearly that Qin Wu's family is still a merchant family, but she is a concubine's daughter and was used by her father in exchange for benefits.

My husband's family is not a good person either. They wrote a divorce letter after they knew Qin Wu was arrested. They were very ruthless. "

Zhiya nodded repeatedly at the side, "Sister Qin Wu is so pitiful, but she is very skilled in cooking and can make a lot of delicious food. Lulan and I have nothing to do now so we follow her and learn from her."

"Then you should learn a few more. I plan to send Qin Wu back after the New Year and let her take care of the old lady."

Tianbao had this plan in the first place. Now that Qin Wu is such a good cook, it would be even more appropriate for her to stay with Liu.

Zhiya quickly said, "Don't worry, Miss. I will definitely study hard."

"And me." Lu Lan quickly followed up.

Li Xiaoning handed the food to Tianbao and said, "Aunt, let's try it quickly. My stomach is growling."

Tianbao took it with a smile, and the two of them ate and commented on it. Seeing that they were enjoying the meal, Zhiya and the others were also very happy.

After a while, Yuexin came over with some medical books. Tianbao invited her to come and eat together, and asked Zhiya and Lulan to try too.

Suddenly, there was a burst of cheerful laughter from the master and servants.

Mrs. Mei and her eldest son and daughter-in-law sat aside and talked, while Mei Jing'an and Mei Wuyan were tending to a medicinal field not far away.
