I became a concubine in the palace and cured my master's hidden disease.

The noise here woke up Xiao Fugui and his grandson who were sleeping on the deck. They jumped into the water silently and rescued her to the shore.

Due to the shock and injuries, Lin Yan was unconscious for three days! She seemed to be in endless darkness, her consciousness gradually blurred, and her breath of life became weak.

In the darkness, it was as if a huge python was tightly wrapped around her, making it almost impossible for her to breathe. The python's body was huge and strong, and its cold scales rubbed against her skin, bringing waves of chills. She tried to struggle, but her strength was completely suppressed, and she could only feel the breath of death gradually approaching.

Suddenly, a bright light flashed, and a vague figure appeared in the darkness. The man was holding a huge sword, shining with cold light, which was frightening. He swung the sword at the python without hesitation, and the intersection of the sword and the python made a crisp sound and sparks flew. Every swing of the sword was fierce, as if he wanted to completely kill the terrifying python.

After a fierce battle, the python gradually dissipated under the baptism of the sword light, turning into a wisp of black smoke and disappearing without a trace. As the python left, she felt a fresh air rushing into her lungs, and her breathing became smoother. She opened her eyes with difficulty and slowly woke up from her coma.

When she opened her eyes, she found herself in a simple and unfamiliar environment. The room was filled with a faint smell of dust. She tried to sit up, but her body felt like it had been hit by a heavy hammer and was too weak to support herself. She had just recovered from the fever and her face was as pale as paper, without any blood.

A familiar voice came into his ears. "Sister Lin is awake." Xiao Fugui, who had been watching over Lin Yan, was so excited that he immediately ran out to find his grandfather.

Xiao Fugui's grandfather walked into the room with a staggering step, his face filled with a relieved smile. However, when he saw Lin Yan's empty eyes, he couldn't help but feel sad, and tears fell uncontrollably from the corners of his eyes. He sat silently by the bed, quietly guarding this poor woman.

It all happened so suddenly that everyone was caught off guard.

Originally, she had a beautiful vision, hoping to experience the prosperity and beauty of the world with Green Tea. Who would have thought that fate would be so cruel that Green Tea would die because of her. Faced with such an ending, Lin Yan felt extremely sorry and blamed herself, but she was powerless.

At this moment, what she was most concerned about was the safety of Mr. Li. She wondered whether the elegant Mr. Li was safe and sound in the end, or whether he had also encountered misfortune?

"Miss Lin, you finally woke up, thank God!" Xiao Fugui's grandfather comforted her softly.

Lin Yan endured the pain in her body and tried to struggle to sit up to express her gratitude to Xiao Fugui's grandfather. However, her body felt like it was hit by a heavy hammer, and the pain was unbearable, making it difficult for her to get up.

Xiao Fugui hurriedly helped her to sit up, and Lin Yan could only say in a weak voice: "Thank you, thank you for saving me..."

"I'm glad you woke up. You've been unconscious for three days, and the wound on your shoulder has just scabbed over, so it's hard to move. Take a good rest and heal your wound. If you need any help, just let us know. We will do our best to help you."

"Thank you!" Lin Yan burst into tears of gratitude.

"Oh, you're welcome! The thing I fear most when I go out is encountering these things. This is also our fate. In fact, I have always wanted to remind you that a girl who is alone outside, dressed gorgeously and wearing gold and silver, will definitely be targeted by people with bad intentions. Fortunately, there was no danger this time. Remember to keep a low profile when you go out in the future." Little Fugui's grandfather sighed.

"Thank you for the reminder, old man. Where is this place?" Grandpa Xiao Fugui's words woke Lin Yan up instantly.

"Weijiazhuang, it's a coincidence that when we rescued you from the water, we happened to meet an old man who was fishing at night. He knew me, so we were able to place you here successfully. Your clothes were changed for you by Aunt Zhang next door."

"Oh! I'm so sorry for causing you so much trouble." Lin Yan was touched by Xiao Fugui's thoughtfulness. She looked around at the shabby little house and thought that the family must not be well-off, and it must have cost a lot of money to save her.

Lin Yan was penniless at the moment. All her valuables were lost during her escape. She was left with only a jade bracelet and a pair of jade earrings. After careful consideration, Lin Yan decided to take off the jade bracelet.

"Please help me pawn this." Lin Yan took off the jade bracelet with difficulty and handed it to Xiao Fugui's grandfather.

"This..." Xiao Fugui's grandfather seemed a little hesitant.

"I understand your concerns. I can't repay you for saving my life, and I can't keep living and eating for free in your house. Besides, I need to have some money on me. So I can only trouble you again. As for how much money I can get, I'll just leave it to fate!" Lin Yan said sincerely.

"Okay!" Xiao Fugui's grandfather took the jade bracelet, told Xiao Fugui to take good care of Lin Yan, then turned and walked out.

The bracelet, which was worth a hundred taels of silver, was only exchanged for a mere twenty taels of silver after being taken to the pawnshop! Lin Yan, who had always been generous and spent money like water, could only stare at the pitiful twenty taels of silver with a bitter face.

Lin Yan kept five taels for herself and gave the rest to Xiao Fugui's grandfather. On the one hand, she wanted to express her gratitude, and on the other hand, she wanted to ask him to help her rent a room next door. After all, she couldn't always occupy the only room in their house. Moreover, she was the legendary star of misfortune. If she accidentally implicated Xiao Fugui's family, it would be a great sin.

In this way, Lin Yan settled down quietly in Weijiazhuang. The happiest person was Xiao Fugui, who followed Lin Yan around like a follower all day long.

On this day, Lin Yan, who had fully recovered, had nothing to do, so she begged Xiao Fugui's father Wang Youcai to help her build a baking oven.

Then, she bought some eggs, flour and honey, and took little Fugui with her to enthusiastically make simple and delicious honey cakes at home.

You have to know that the cakes she made were unique in the imperial city. The simple novel appearance won the favor of the dignitaries, and the novel and unique taste won their final approval. There was no condition to make such complicated cakes now. Making the simplest one, whether for her own consumption or for sale, should be feasible.

The five taels of silver were almost gone. Fortunately, the one hundred taels she had saved in her underwear were still there, and she planned to use the money to start a business.

Bake some first and test the results.

The freshly baked honey cakes exuded an alluring aroma, which slowly drifted outside through the tattered paper window. This aroma was like an invisible hand, attracting passers-by to stop and come closer to the paper window to smell this intoxicating smell.

"What kind of food smells so good?" A passerby outside the yard stopped and asked curiously in a low voice.
