Heartstrings Resonance: The Beloved Princess of the Female Power

It doesn't stink, and it's a bit refreshing." Mu Yunxi came out of the toilet and said to Mother Wu who was waiting not far away.

Mother Wu hurried forward to help her up, chuckling softly, she said, "Old Doctor Chen is a very skilled doctor. I think he prepared this. If you like it, ask them if they have it for sale before you leave."

"Well, okay, thank you for your concern, Mom."

"What are you talking about, Miss?"

"Dr. Chen's house is not very big, but it is well organized," said Mu Yunxi.

"Yes, there is a front yard and a back yard. His daughter and his wife live in the back yard, and the front yard is where you come in from the gate. In addition to the consultation area, there is also the room where your wife and you live. The room where Xiaoshan and the others live is divided into two. It's quite thoughtful." Mother Wu continued.

"Doctor Chen doesn't have a son?" Mu Yunxi asked doubtfully.

"Yes, they moved out after they got married. It's not convenient to live here with too many people. Doctor Chen didn't want to move, so he simply bought a house for them and they can come here to see patients every day." Mother Wu explained to Mu Yunxi.

"Yeah!" Mu Yunxi knew that Mother Wu must have found out everything long ago, so she didn't ask any more questions.

Mu Yunxi was injured, so the two walked slowly, chatting casually. When they returned to the courtyard, Xiaoshan and the others were still standing there, including a girl who looked timid and on the verge of tears. Xiaoshan and the others didn't dare to speak, fearing that she would scare her into tears. The two groups remained in a stalemate.

Mother Wu noticed the embarrassment of both sides and hurriedly called them out, "Go do what you need to do, don't just stand here." The girl appeared at their door at this time, probably to find them.

Mother Wu supported Mu Yunxi, and the two of them had no intention of going over. They just stood there and asked, "Miss, what's the matter?"

The girl whispered, "I'm from this...this clinic. Doctor Chen is...he's my father."

The voice was so soft that Mu Yunxi almost didn't hear it clearly. She had to praise the original body for his good hearing due to his martial arts training.

Mother Wu and Mu Yunxi exchanged glances, then acted as if they were suddenly struck by something. "Oh, you're Doctor Chen's daughter! You came here...but what does Doctor Chen want to tell you?"

"Uh... no, it's... yes... there's a girl who wants to see... your wife." There was another mosquito-like voice.

At this time, Xiao Yao, who had just finished washing up, opened the door from inside the room and asked Mu Yunxi and the others, "Why don't you come in?"

Mother Wu gestured to Xiao Yao to look at the girl from the Chen family and replied, "This is the girl from Doctor Chen's family. She came here to tell you that a girl wants to see you." Then she supported Mu Yunxi and walked to Xiao Yao's side.

Xiao Yao was confused. She thought, "Could it be that the Qin family sent someone to pick me up?" Mother Wu and Mu Yunxi were equally confused.

Doctor Chen's youngest daughter stole a glance in the direction Xiao Shan and the others had been standing. Seeing no one there, she breathed a sigh of relief. Then she looked up at Xiao Yao and the others. She bowed slightly, and Mother Wu returned the gesture. Then she said, "It's the girl who was up front with the ladies yesterday. Her foot is injured, and she can't move. I took care of her last night. This morning, she asked me to come over and say... that Madam, please come see her. She also told me that she could help Madam with her current predicament." She didn't dare look up at Xiao Yao as she spoke.

God knows she mustered up the courage to come in after seeing that there was no one outside the yard. However, as soon as she came in, she met Xiao Shan and the others coming out of the house. Several big men were standing there. You know, the only outsiders she had seen were the waiter in front and her father's apprentice. She was immediately frightened and was about to run away when Mu Yunxi and Mother Wu came over.

Mu Yunxi and her mother looked at the girl from the Chen family. Her name seemed to be Chen Baoling, about fourteen or fifteen years old. A few words could describe her: a round face, big eyes, a sweet voice, and a lovely person. This was Mu Yunxi's first thought upon seeing the girl from the Chen family. At this moment, the girl stood in front of them with her head lowered, waiting for Xiao Yao's response.

Xiao Yao asked, "Did that girl say when she would be there?"

"I told you to go see her before you leave." Chen Baoling said in a low voice.

"Okay! I understand!" Xiao Yao didn't say whether to go or not.

Seeing that Xiao Yao didn't agree, Chen Baoling looked embarrassed.

Xiao Yao said again: "Look at me, I forgot to invite the young lady into the house?"

Chen Baoling quickly shook her head to refuse: "No, no, I'm going back." Then she walked away, looking back every few steps.

Xiao Yao, Mother Wu, and Mu Yunxi looked at each other, their faces full of confusion. At this time, Manager Sun came in, bowed and said, "Madam, Miss, the Qin family has sent someone. Do you want to see them now?"

Xiao Yao asked, "Who is coming?"

"The mistress of the Qin family, Qin Liu." Manager Sun replied.

"Mrs. Qin Donglai?" Xiao Yao asked again.

"Yes."

"Then please come in quickly." Xiao Yao urged.

"Yes." Manager Sun responded and went out to invite people.

"It's cold at this time, Mother Wu, please help Xier into the house first," Xiao Yao instructed Mother Wu.

"Yes." Mu Yunxi didn't try to be stubborn and let Mother Wu help her into the house. As soon as she entered the house, she heard a clear and bright voice outside: "I am Qin Liushi, a commoner, greeting the Madam."

Xiao Yao's voice came: "Mrs. Qin, you are so polite. We can go there on our own. It's my fault for bothering you to make this trip."

Outside, there was a lady named Madam Qin Shao who looked very dignified and was estimated to be about thirty years old. She had her hair in a bun and was wearing a purple embroidered double-breasted dress. She had a smiling face.

As soon as she saw Xiao Yao, she half-knelt and saluted. Xiao Yao also hurried forward to help her. Then the two held hands and exchanged pleasantries. In fact, the two were not familiar with each other and had never met. Xiao Yao was polite because she needed the Qin family's help in this matter, and Qin Liushi was polite because the person in front of her was an official's wife.

Yesterday, Butler Sun came to the Qin family to seek help. When Old Master Qin heard that it was the Xiao family's steward, he dragged his sick body to see him. When he learned that Old Master Xiao's granddaughter had met with villains, he quickly called Qin Donglai and solemnly instructed him: "You must not neglect this matter. No matter what the cost, you must protect Old Master Xiao's granddaughter. My brother died early, but he loved her very much when he was alive. He even praised her intelligence in the letter he wrote to her." As he spoke, he fell into reminiscence. Qin Donglai watched Old Master Qin fall into reminiscence again, and without interrupting him, he quietly turned around and went out to make arrangements.

When he was young, he often heard his grandfather talk about how Old Master Xiao saved him, how he helped him, and how he built the Qin family. Now that he was in charge of the Qin family, he had to be cautious about this matter. Originally, Qin Donglai's father should have been in charge of the family, but his father was in poor health. He also had a talent for business, so Old Master Qin directly handed the Qin family over to him.

On a different note, Liu's family was also a major rice producer in the county, and she had a brother who was a county magistrate. Liu's manners and etiquette were excellent, likely carefully studied. She spoke to Xiao Yao for quite a while, and it was impossible to find fault with her. Her words were beautiful, yet not flattering or complimenting, and they were very comfortable. After just a few moments, the two of them were chatting intimately, like close sisters who had met too late, already calling each other "sister."

Xiao Yao seemed to have just thought of something: "Look at me, I was chatting with my younger sister so well that I forgot to invite her to sit inside. How rude of me."

Liu quickly replied, "Sister, what are you talking about? I originally came to invite you to my house as a guest, but we were so engrossed in the conversation that I forgot to mention it. Now, it's my fault for that."

Xiao Yao was about to open her mouth to say something when she heard Madam Liu continue, "It's only three quarters past noon, and the restaurants and taverns aren't open yet. I guess you sisters haven't had breakfast yet? I told the kitchen to prepare a meal before I left the house. Sisters, hurry up and pack your bags and come back with me."

As she spoke, she glanced around, as if searching for something. "Where's the eldest young lady? I heard she was injured. Was it serious? I wanted to come pick up the sisters last night, but when I heard the eldest young lady was injured, it wouldn't be easy for her to travel again, so the head of the household sent a few thugs to follow that steward, Sun, back." Liu's face was filled with worry. She took Xiao Yao's hand and moved closer, whispering, "Just now, the thugs we sent last night told me that a group of people approached the clinic with weapons, but when they saw them guarding outside, they retreated." As she spoke, she clutched her chest with one hand, as if frightened.

Xiao Yao was shocked and said, "Really?" It's not that Manager Sun and the others were not doing their best, but the leader of the Qin family's thugs only told Manager Sun this morning, and when Manager Sun was about to tell Xiao Yao, the Qin family's young lady came, and he didn't have time to say anything.

Seeing her expression indicated she didn't know about this yet, Liu said, "Yes, last night at 12:30 pm, Qin Er sent someone back to the mansion to report that several people were sneaking around the clinic. The head of the household immediately sent a dozen thugs to follow Qin Er and surround the clinic. Qin Er just told me that those people left at 12:75 pm, but returned sneakily at 12:00 pm. Since they didn't take action, Qin Er and his men didn't chase them, fearing they might have other accomplices. Thinking that my sisters had been exhausted on the journey and hadn't rested much, I didn't tell them right away. I hope you won't blame me."

Xiao Yao was only shocked for a moment, then pulled Liu into the house. "Sister, what are you talking about? You are so thoughtful. I can't thank you enough, how can I blame you?"

In the room, Mu Yunxi heard the sound getting closer and closer. She sat on the bed and slowly stood up with the help of the bedside. Mother Wu also packed their luggage. The main reason was that they didn't have much to pack now, only a few pieces of women's underwear, which must not be left outside.

When Liu entered the room, she saw a woman in her forties supporting a young girl in her teens as they bowed to her. The girl was tall and slender, with delicate features on her pale face. She couldn't help but exclaim, "What a pretty girl! Sister, is this the eldest daughter?"

Xiao Yao scolded, "Why call her Miss? Her maiden name is Yunxi, so you can just call her Yunxi." Then she said to Mu Yunxi, "This is your Aunt Qin, hurry up and call her."

Mu Yunxi, supported by Wu Mama, was about to bow and call for help when a figure suddenly appeared before her. It was Madam Liu. She took Mu Yunxi's hand and said with pity, "Thank goodness, you're injured. No need to bow, just call for help." Mu Yunxi glanced at Xiao Yao, who nodded. Xiao Yao wasn't the kind of person who would be sentimental. She naturally appreciated Madam Liu's understanding of her daughter's injuries.

Mu Yunxi then called out openly, "Hello, Aunt Qin."

"Okay," Liu's face lit up with a smile. She immediately took off a crystal-clear jade bracelet and placed it on Mu Yunxi's hand. "I was in a hurry to leave and didn't bring any gifts. I'll give you one when I get back." Mu Yunxi looked at the bracelet and then at Xiao Yao, who nodded for her to accept. Seeing her look at Xiao Yao, Liu joked, "This is a gift from me, your aunt. It's a gift from an elder, so you can't refuse it." She smiled and patted Mu Yunxi's hand.

Mu Yunxi also smiled and said, "Thank you, auntie."

Mu Yunxi herself was a worldly-wise person, having participated in various exhibitions, including jewelry and art exhibitions, in her previous life. Old Xu said that her network was limited, so he encouraged her to participate in various activities to expand her network.

Liu said, "Just accept it." Seeing the packed bag, she smiled and said to Xiao Yao, "Sister, let's go home now that we're done. We've been delayed for a long time. Breakfast might be ready. Yunxi is injured and needs to be healed."
