Xiaohua followed the clues provided by the old man and headed towards the direction of the Lin family. She had mixed feelings, with both anticipation for the unknown truth and concerns about the family's current situation. After several days of trekking, she finally arrived in front of the Lin family's mansion.

The Lin family mansion still retains its former grandeur, but Xiaohua noticed that the yard was overgrown with weeds, and the doors and windows looked shabby, obviously no one had taken good care of it for a long time. She took a deep breath and knocked on the door.

An elderly servant opened the door. When he saw Xiaohua, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes: "Miss, who are you looking for?"

Xiao Hua smiled and said, "I'm Xiao Hua, a doctor. I heard that Madam Lin is not in good health, so I came to see if I can help."

The servant was embarrassed when he heard this and said, "Miss, we don't have any extra money to pay for the consultation..."

Xiaohua interrupted him and said firmly: "I don't want any money, I just hope to do my part for my wife."

The servant was moved by this and led Xiaohua into the mansion. When they entered the yard, Xiaohua saw a desolate scene, as if there had been some major changes here. She couldn't help but feel a little sad, it seemed that the Lin family was indeed facing a great predicament.

The servant brought Xiaohua to Mrs. Lin's room and knocked on the door gently: "Madam, someone is here to see you."

A weak voice came from the room: "Come in."

Xiaohua pushed open the door and saw a haggard woman lying on the bed, her face pale and her eyes revealing deep fatigue. Her heart was shocked, this woman looked exactly like her modern mother!

When Mrs. Lin saw Xiaohua, a trace of surprise and confusion flashed in her eyes: "You are..."

Xiaohua was also shocked, and finally understood why the old man thought she was Lin Ruowei at first sight. She tried to stay calm and said with a smile: "Madam, I am Xiaohua, a doctor. I heard that you are not in good health, so I came to treat you."

Mrs. Lin had a complicated look in her eyes, and her gaze never left Xiaohua. She nodded and said, "Okay, please come in."

Xiaohua walked to the bedside and began to feel Mrs. Lin's pulse. She carefully diagnosed that Mrs. Lin was very weak due to long-term hard work and worry. She prescribed several prescriptions and gave detailed instructions on how to take the medicine.

During the treatment, Mrs. Lin kept staring at Xiaohua, her eyes full of mixed emotions. She couldn't help but ask about Xiaohua's family situation in a roundabout way.

"Xiaohua, where are your family?" Mrs. Lin asked with a hint of anticipation in her voice.

Xiaohua's heart tightened, knowing that Mrs. Lin might be testing her identity, but she remained calm and replied, "My parents died when I was very young, and I have been growing up in the village."

After hearing this, Mrs. Lin's eyes flashed with disappointment, but she still did not give up and continued to ask: "Then how did you learn medical skills?"

Xiaohua smiled faintly and said, "I have been interested in herbs and medical skills since I was a child, so I learned some by myself. Later, I met some kind people who taught me a lot."

Mrs. Lin nodded, her eyes still full of doubt and hope. She had been looking for her missing little daughter for many years, but her hopes were always dashed, so she didn't dare to confirm that Xiaohua was her daughter right away.

Madam Lin looked at Xiaohua and said softly, "Xiaohua, since you are such a skilled doctor, can you stay and take care of me for a while? My family is busy outside, and there are only me and a few servants at home. I really can't take care of everything."

Xiaohua was slightly stunned, but quickly agreed: "Madam, I am willing to stay and take care of you, and I hope to help you recover soon."

In the following days, Xiaohua took good care of Mrs. Lin every day, made medicinal soup for her, and used modern medical knowledge to care for her. Her efforts gradually paid off, and Mrs. Lin's physical condition began to improve.

While taking care of Mrs. Lin, Xiaohua gradually understands the current predicament of the Lin family. The Lin family not only has three sons who are busy working outside: the eldest son Lin Yutang, the second son Lin Yuheng and the youngest son Lin Yuchen, but also the frail and sickly Mr. Lin. Due to poor management and internal and external troubles, the family business has gradually declined, the Lin family is in debt, and the power struggle within the family has made the situation more complicated.
