My Lord, my wife said she doesn't have time to talk to you.

After coming out of Yue Niang's clothing shop, Shen Nanting followed Hua Ying closely, all the way to Tongxin Hall where he met the man who set up a stall and opened a shop with Hua Ying again.

Fu Shiyan stared at the man not far behind Huaying, his eyes cold and with a hint of warning. Shen Nanting also frowned and looked at Fu Shiyan. Although the man was dressed in cloth, he exuded nobility from head to toe, and his eyes were clear and sharp, not like a farmer.

We must immediately find out the man’s identity and find a breakthrough in my sister’s amnesia from him.

He turned back to the inn and ordered Yuexing to find out the identity of the man next to Huaying. Yuexing took the order and retreated, disappearing into the street.

Shen Nanting also changed into black clothes, preparing to follow Huaying to her residence after dark.

In Tongxin Hall, Huaying and Dongxue said goodbye to Shi Nuan and prepared to go back.

Fu Shiyan, who was originally going to go home together, stopped after receiving Fu Yi's signal and said to Huaying, "I'll go back later, be careful on the road."

Huaying nodded to her and left with Dongxue.

Shen Nanting followed Huaying to Taohua Village and came to a small courtyard at the entrance of the village. The courtyard was full of flowers of various colors and the bamboo at the door was also lush. When the wind blew, the flowers swayed in the dance, giving people a feeling of warmth and romance.

Seeing his sister talking and laughing with a girl named Dongxue, Shen Nanting's mouth corners also raised. It was not until Dongxue returned home that he realized that she was his younger sister's neighbor.

Huaying returned home to cook, knead and knead the dough. Shen Nanting, who was hiding in the depths of the peach forest, never took his eyes off his younger sister's busy figure. He really wanted to jump down and tell her his identity immediately, and take her away from here and return to the capital to continue being her eldest daughter.

But when the old doctor's words came to his mind, he stepped back unconsciously. Yes, my sister is sick and I can't stimulate her anymore.

Thinking of this, Shen Nanting felt as if a heavy burden was pressing on him. It was obvious that his sister didn't need to work so hard.

He felt deeply powerless and helpless, and knew that he couldn't act impulsively.

Huaying, who was working in the yard, sang a song in a low voice, "If the moon hasn't come yet, the street lamp can also shine on the windowsill, shining on the white camellia flowers that are slightly blooming. If the morning breeze hasn't come yet, the evening breeze can also blow into my arms...

Shen Nanting had never heard his sister sing. When did his sister start liking to sing? But she sang really well, with a gentle melody.

The moment he heard his sister's singing, his heart slowly calmed down.

Huaying had no idea of her brother's inner struggle in the peach orchard in her backyard. She was concentrating on cooking, her face filled with love and persistence for life.

Shen Nanting decided not to disturb Huaying's life for the time being, and he quietly left the peach forest.

After returning to the inn, Yue Xing handed over a piece of paper with information about Fu Shiyan.

It turned out that the man's name was Fu Shiyan, who had entered Taohua Village with his sister eight months ago. The villagers said they were brother and sister. He was a low-key person, who made a living by writing articles and helped Huaying set up a stall when he had free time. He had just taken over a shop recently, and there seemed to be nothing wrong with his background and identity.

She came here with her younger sister, so the timing is a bit tricky. It is not revealed how her younger sister lost her memory, which means that her younger sister lost her memory when she came with Fu Shiyan.

How did they meet? There is no way to find out.

Shen Nanting said to Yue Xing, "I will go back to the capital tonight. You stay here to protect the young lady. Remember to keep her safe."

"Subordinates take orders."

In the Tongxin Hall study, Fu Shiyan held Fu Lei's reply letter with a touch of joy on his face, "Brother has found someone who can make gunpowder. Fu Yi ordered someone to secretly send saltpeter to Fu Lei. Remember not to be discovered."

"Yes." Fu Yi stepped back.

Fu San came over and saluted, "Master, that man followed Miss Huaying all the way to Taohua Village. I didn't see any bad intentions from him. On the contrary, the love in his eyes was too obvious."

Fu San reported what he had seen and heard. Although he did not understand his master's actions, he did not dare to doubt his master's thoughts and could only do his own thing.

Fu Shiyan tapped the table with his fingers and said, "Keep staring."

"Yes." The man took the order and left.

Outside the inn, after Yue Xing saw Shen Nanting off, he quietly came to Huaying's residence and secretly guarded nearby.

It was getting late, and Huaying saw that Fu Shiyan had not returned yet, so she finished her work as usual and went back to her room to sleep.

In the study of Tongxin Hall, Fu Shiyan discussed gunpowder and ice making with Fu Yi under the lamp, and wrote another letter to send to Fu Lei.

On the other hand, Shen Nanting rushed back to the capital without stopping.

Huaying slept soundly that night without any dreams. The next day, she got up early as usual and went to set up her stall in the town.

It was nearly noon, and Huaying was so tired that she couldn't even straighten her back. Yuexing, who was in the dark, really wanted to go over to help, but the young master ordered him not to disturb the young lady and could only protect her safety. Now he could only watch anxiously.

Huaying pounded her aching waist a few times, thinking that the sprouts were all used up today and the new sprouts had not yet grown, so she could take a break tomorrow and continue to wrap the cold skin and pass it to the customers in line.

Shen Nanting returned home and went straight to his father's study.

After telling his father about his sister's situation in Taohua Town, Zuo Cheng pondered for a moment and said, "No matter what, we must first ensure Huaying's safety. It's only a matter of time before we take her home. For the sake of her mental condition, we really need to keep her stable first. Nan Ting, order a few more martial arts masters to protect Huaying."

"Yes, father." Shen Nanting bowed and stepped back.

Prime Minister Shen thought of some excuses before going to his wife's room. His wife had been recuperating these days, waiting for her daughter to come home. I don't know how his wife felt when she heard that her daughter would not come back for the time being. She was afraid that she would faint again, so she ordered the servant to call the old doctor.

He returned to the room and told his wife what happened. His wife tearfully agreed to the Prime Minister's approach. Although his daughter was sick and had lost her memory, she was still alive and well. He should slowly approach her, and when she accepted her identity, she would go home.
