How could she know that she was here and had a carriage ready? Just as she was full of doubts, Banxia drove the carriage to them.

"Princess, please get in the car!" she said respectfully.

Shen Yiran didn't plan to guess for the time being and would ask Banxia all the questions after returning home.

After everyone got on the carriage, Shen Yiran ordered Banxia to drive the carriage to the clothing shop first.

Banxia flicked the whip lightly, her movements were skillful and neat, revealing a sense of bravery that was no less than that of a man. She was able to control the reins freely, as if she had merged with the carriage. The sound of horse hooves was crisp and rhythmic, and every step was steady.

The Ge'er and her mother in the carriage still couldn't quite believe that they had escaped from the clutches of the devil. They looked extremely dazed and remained silent.

After a long time, Ge'er woke up as if from a dream and murmured, "Mom, have we really escaped? Ge'er feels like she is dreaming." Her voice was trembling and full of uncertainty.

Pigeon's mother gently stroked her hair and responded in a hoarse voice: "Child, it's true. We really escaped."

However, her eyes still revealed deep worry, fearing that this hard-earned freedom was just a short-lived illusion.

Ge'er bit her lip, a determination flashed in her eyes: "Mom, we should never go back to those terrible days again." Ge'er's mother nodded heavily, tears welling up in her eyes again.

Then, the mother and daughter knelt down again in front of Shen Yiran and Liu Tiantong in the narrow carriage, and said gratefully: "Thank you two great benefactors, you will be our masters in the future, and we will work like slaves to repay you."

As soon as these words came out, the already narrow space in the car became even more cramped and oppressive. The two of them were stunned again and hurriedly helped the mother and daughter up.

Shen Yiran said: "You don't have to do this. You are still free now. If you have a good place to go, you don't have to follow us."

Liu Tiantong also echoed: "That's right, you must not think like that."

After hearing this, the mother and daughter hurriedly shook their heads. Ge'er's mother said, "We are deeply grateful for the life-saving grace from the two young ladies. We are willing to follow you and work like your slaves." Ge'er also nodded with a firm look in her eyes.

After thinking for a while, Liu Tiantong said to Shen Yiran, "Yiran, I have to rush back to deliver medicine to my grandfather. Can you see if you can let Ge'er and her mother go back with you?"

Shen Yiran thought to herself: "Let's arrange for them to stay in Huaxiyuan for now, and make other plans later."

Thinking of this, he agreed, "Then you can follow me back home, but the days ahead may not be as easy as you think."

The mother and daughter said in unison: "As long as we have a place to live, we are not afraid of any hardship or fatigue."

Soon we arrived at the bustling market with people coming and going.

The carriage stopped, and Banxia lifted the curtain and said, "Princess, we have arrived at the clothing store."

Shen Yiran originally wanted to let Ge'er and her mother go down to choose clothes, but thinking of Ge'er's mother's weak health, she said to Banxia: "Banxia, help Ge'er and her mother choose some clothes according to their figures!"

Banxia nodded, took the order and left.

Then, Liu Tiantong looked at Shen Yiran and said anxiously, "Yiran, my grandfather is still waiting for me to send the medicine back. Let's say goodbye now."

Shen Yiran hurriedly said, "Tiantong, go quickly, don't delay."

Liu Tiantong nodded slightly, her eyes full of reluctance: "Okay, Yiran, let's meet again another day."

After saying that, Liu Tiantong turned around hurriedly and left in quick steps. Soon she disappeared in the bustling crowd.

After a while, Banxia put the two bags of clothes into the carriage, and then drove the carriage towards the Prime Minister's Mansion. Not long after, the carriage arrived at the Prime Minister's Mansion.

However, after getting off the carriage, when Ge'er Niang saw the plaque of the Prime Minister's Mansion, a look of panic appeared on her face and she stepped back unconsciously.

At this moment, some vague fragments flashed through her mind, including one about the Prime Minister's Mansion, but when she wanted to remember more, her head hurt badly.

Shen Yiran noticed her strangeness and asked softly, "What's wrong? Is there anything wrong?

The pigeon mother's lips trembled, and she held her head with both hands and said, "My benefactor, I don't know, I suddenly have a severe headache..."

Shen Yiran supported her and comforted her, "Don't be afraid, I will check your pulse after we enter the mansion."

Then everyone entered Huaxiyuan.

After entering the house, Shen Yiran brought Ge'er and her mother to her bedroom. She motioned for Ge'er's mother to sit down, and then began to feel her pulse carefully.

Shen Yiran was extremely focused, concentrating on feeling the pulse under his fingers. After a while, Shen Yiran slowly let go of his hand, full of doubts. Judging from the pulse, there was really no problem.

But the various symptoms of Pigeon Mother really made her feel very strange. She thought to herself: Looking at her condition, it seems that she is regaining her memory after suffering a severe head injury.

If this is true, then what exactly caused the serious injury? Why was she so flustered after seeing the plaque of the Prime Minister's Mansion? Is there any connection between her and the Prime Minister's Mansion?

Shen Yiran looked at Ge'er's mother who had calmed down, and asked tentatively: "Are you more sober now? Just now at your house, Ge'er told me that you finally recognized her. Can you recall what happened in the past?"

Mother Pigeon closed her eyes slightly, as if trying to recall something, and slowly said, "I vaguely remember that I woke up by the river, but I had no idea who I was. After that, I got sick every day, and I could only be awake for one or two hours a day. When the pain was unbearable, I ate a kind of grass at the door, which relieved the pain a little.

However, later on, eating this herb was no longer effective. The lady who took me in saw that I was in so much pain when I had an attack, so she secretly went to the pharmacy to get some medicine for me to drink, but was severely beaten by her son for this.

Later, the couple who adopted me passed away, and Dali took me over by force. Since then, my life has become increasingly difficult, my health has deteriorated, and I have been beaten every day. I can only stay awake for a cup of tea every day.

Many years later, I had Ge'er. I am still alive today, all thanks to Ge'er picking wild flowers and selling them to buy medicine for me. "When she said this, Ge'er's mother shed tears of distress again.

At this time, Ge'er, who had been standing silently by the side, couldn't help crying out loud: "Mom, please don't cry. As long as you can get better, it doesn't matter how hard or tired Ge'er is."

Seeing this, Shen Yiran's eyes were sore and she said, "Don't think about these things for now. The most important thing right now is to take care of your body."

After that, he said to Banxia who was standing at the door: "Go and call Aunt Zhao over."

Banxia nodded, then turned and left.

Shen Yiran turned around and said to Ge'er's mother, "I will tell the people in the courtyard that you are my distant cousins. Your hometown suffered a flood, so you came to me for refuge. From now on, I will call you Aunt Jiang, and Ge'er is my cousin. You can just call me the Crown Prince's Consort."

When Ge'er and her mother heard this, they knelt down again and said with tears streaming down their cheeks, "We really have no way to repay the Crown Prince's wife for her great kindness! We are willing to work like cows and horses to repay your kindness."
