At daybreak, a man in black jumped off his horse at the side door of the Prime Minister's Mansion in the capital and knocked on the door knocker. Soon the side door opened and a kind old maid came out. "Mammy, please tell the master and the mistress that Yue Xing wants to see you urgently." Yue Xing's tone was a little anxious.

"Okay, okay, I'll go right away." Nanny knew that Yue Xing was the person in charge of finding the young lady.

Seeing how anxious he is to see the master and his mistress, it must be about the young lady. Amitabha, please bless the young lady to return home safely. As the nanny walked towards the backyard, she prayed to the gods for protection.

The maid had just finished combing the lady's hair, and Prime Minister Shen, dressed in his official uniform, came over to prepare to have breakfast with the lady.

"Master, my left eyelid kept twitching as soon as I opened it today. You have to be careful when you go to court today. Ning'er is still missing, and we can't let anything happen to our family again." Mrs. Shen's tears fell again when she mentioned her daughter.

Prime Minister Shen took his wife's increasingly thin hand and comforted her, "Madam, are you stupid? As the saying goes, if your left eye twitches, you will get rich. Something good is bound to happen today."

Madam picked up the embroidered handkerchief and wiped her tears. At this time, the nanny came over and bowed to the two of them and said, "Master and Madam, Yuexing wants to see you."

When the lady heard that Yue Xing had returned, her heart started pounding again. "Hurry up and pass it on," they both said at the same time.

"Master, will our Ning'er...?" Mrs. Shen couldn't express her worry. She had searched for her so many times. God bless my Ning'er to be still alive. I will gild your body... Mrs. Shen prayed to the Bodhisattva in her heart.

After a while, Nanny brought Yuexing over. Yuexing bowed to the master and mistress, raised her head to meet their expectant eyes, and said with a hint of sob, "Master and mistress, the young lady... has been found."

When the lady heard the news, she fainted before she had time to be happy. The nanny and the maid were shocked. The nanny quickly held the lady and pinched her philtrum. The master ordered Yuexing to call the doctor, and the personal maid Chunhua went to find the previous lady's medicine. The hall was in a mess, and the servant hurried to the eldest master's courtyard to inform him of the matter.

Not long after, an old doctor hurried over with a medicine box on his back. He checked her eyes and pulse before giving her an acupuncture injection. Not long after, she woke up and looked at everyone. She looked at the master and asked, "Master, we have found Ning'er, right? Did I hear correctly?"

The old prime minister, who was sitting beside the bed, patted his wife's hand and comforted her, "Ning'er is still alive. We found Ning'er."

After hearing what the master said, the lady covered her mouth and cried. The old doctor beside her said hurriedly, "Madam, don't be too excited, otherwise you will faint again."

The master comforted her, "I told you that something good would happen today. You shouldn't get so excited when things happen at your age. Now that Ning'er has been found, you should relax and take good care of yourself, otherwise that girl will have something to say about you when she gets home."

After hearing this, the lady burst into laughter, nodded and adjusted her mood, and asked Shen Nanting to send the doctor away. As the doctor walked away, he reminded the maid Chunhua of the precautions to take when boiling the medicine.

Then Shen Nanting called Yue Xing in. When Yue Xing entered the room and was about to bow, the lady lying on the couch said weakly, "No thanks. My child, you have worked hard. Have you seen Ning'er? Where is she? Has she lost weight? Has anyone bullied her? Has Ning'er gone home with you?"

Yue Xing knelt in front of the bed and recounted to the master, mistress and the eldest son how he found the eldest lady.

The master and his wife were heartbroken when they learned that their daughter had lost her memory. However, she was still alive, which was a great blessing.

After comforting his wife, he called the maid to take care of her. Shen Nanting and Prime Minister Shen went to the study, "Father, I will go to Taohua Town to fetch my sister, and then secretly send the imperial physician to treat her." Shen Nanting felt very sorry for his younger sister's experience. His younger sister had never suffered since she was a child, but she suffered this time.

"Well, you take people to Taohua Town to check on your sister and see if her surroundings are safe. Yuexing came back by herself today, and I was worried that Ning'er didn't want to go home. Now that she is sick, don't stimulate her again."

Shen Nanting pondered for a while and said, "Yes, I have just asked someone to go to the Hanlin Academy to ask for leave, and I can leave immediately."

The old prime minister nodded and saw that it was time to go to court. He dressed and walked out of the study. Suddenly he turned to Shen Nanting and said, "You must protect your little sister's safety. Remember, the fewer people who know, the better. Don't tell Nanxing for now. Wait until he finishes the competition in the next few days. Also, don't spread the word that Ning'er is unwell and has been sent to another village for recuperation. Don't say anything that would damage her reputation when she comes back."

The old prime minister repeatedly instructed, "Son, I obey your orders." Shen Nanting saluted to his father.

Prime Minister Shen nodded and then went to court with peace of mind.

Shen Nanting ordered someone to tell Yuexing to wait for him at the side door. When he came out of his mother's room, the servant had already packed his things. He then led a horse from the stable, mounted the horse and walked towards the side door.

Yue Xing was ready to go, and the old butler came over hurriedly and handed him a package, "Take these food with you, take good care of the young master on the road, and take care of yourself too." The butler reminded.

"I know, Dad. This isn't the first time I've been on a mission." Yue Xing was still a little uncomfortable with her old father's motherly concern. What could possibly happen to a grown man?

After Shen Nanting came over, the two men rode their horses, said goodbye to the housekeeper, and rushed towards the city gate.
