Nearing the foot of the mountain, it was already midday. In a deserted area, Wang Xinyao retrieved some of the chestnuts she had gathered from her ring and placed them in three baskets. She carried one basket on her back, and one in each hand. As a first-rank martial artist, she could handle this weight.

When she got home, Xie Dahahua had already prepared the meal. Wang Xinyao ate a few bites casually and then drove the carriage to Ping'an Town.

When she left yesterday, Fang Zhiyuan had already told her his home address. After asking several people along the way, she finally arrived at the Fang residence.

The gate of the Fang Mansion stood majestically, its vermilion lacquer dazzling, its golden knocker gleaming. The tall and wide doorway exuded boundless majesty and extraordinary grandeur, inspiring awe in the eyes.

Wealthy families usually have gatekeepers, and the Fang family had two at their main gate. Wang Xinyao took out the anti-inflammatory medicine she would need and placed it in a bag. Then she got off the carriage and identified herself to the gatekeepers. One of them immediately went to the inner courtyard to report, while the other properly tied up her horse.

After tying up the carriage, the doorman invited Wang Xinyao into the yard without waiting for the people inside to report back. It seemed that Mr. Fang had some instructions for the servants!

Entering the mansion, the courtyard is breathtakingly vast, its expanse seemingly embracing the universe. Pavilions and towers are arranged in an orderly fashion, adorned with lush greenery and trees. The vermilion gate exudes majesty, its exquisite carvings evoke memories of past glory. Within, one feels a sense of extraordinary grandeur, a culmination of dignity and luxury.

"Miss Wang, you are finally here. My wife has been waiting for you for a long time!" Soon, Fang Zhiyuan came up from the hall in the house.

Wang Xinyao immediately bowed and said, "Greetings, Mr. Fang!"

"Miss Wang, please come in!" Fang Zhiyuan said, leading Wang Xinyao into the house. When they arrived at the hall, he invited Wang Xinyao to sit down. "Someone, prepare some tea!"

"Miss Wang, my wife's wound has been hurting since she came back last night. Is there any way to relieve her pain?" Fang Zhiyuan took advantage of the time when Wang Xinyao was drinking tea to start introducing the condition of the mother!

"Don't worry, I'll go check it out right now." Wang Xinyao nodded slightly, giving him a reassuring look. Then, she took a few sips of tea and slowly stood up. The tea was rich and fragrant, intoxicating. She secretly admired it, "This tea is so fragrant! Rich families are really different. Even this tea is much better than others."

Wang Xinyao followed Fang Zhiyuan to the maternity room. The room was very tidy, with a maidservant quietly serving her. The woman lay weakly on the bed, her face a little pale, her hair a little messy on the pillow. Her eyes were slightly closed, and her breathing was slow. She must have just fallen asleep!

After Wang Xinyao had Fang Zhiyuan and the maid leave the room, she began to carefully examine the woman. After a brief inspection, she discovered some slight inflammation beneath the bandaged wound. This was normal, given the limited conditions here, and the inability to administer intravenous fluids, inflammation was inevitable. Considering the thousand-yuan note she had received, and the fact that the woman had already fallen asleep, Wang Xinyao decided to take a risk and retrieved a little spiritual spring water from her ring, carefully sprinkling it over the wound. A miraculous thing happened: the inflamed wound gradually healed, eventually disappearing without a trace.

Perhaps because her body felt unprecedented comfort and relaxation, the mother slowly woke up. She opened her beautiful eyes, sparkling with gratitude, looked at Wang Xinyao, and asked softly, "You are Miss Wang, right? You saved my life?"

"Thank you so much, Miss Wang, for saving my life!" She struggled to get up from the bed, then slowly walked over to Wang Xinyao and bowed deeply to express her gratitude. "Miss Wang, I was in so much pain last night, but since you came, I've been able to walk again. Thank you so much!"

Because it was a caesarean section, she didn't need to stay in bed the entire time. Walking around for the first few days would actually help the wound heal. Therefore, Wang Xinyao didn't stop her from getting out of bed. However, when she saw her formally bowing to her, Wang Xinyao hurriedly said, "Madam, you don't have to be so polite!"

"Ms. Wang, you are my savior! If it weren't for you, I'm afraid that the baby in my belly and I would have been dead long ago. Please don't call me Madam anymore. My name is Zhao Yue'er. May I know your name, young lady? I see that you are younger than me, so why don't you call me Sister Yue'er!" Zhao Yue'er enthusiastically took Wang Xinyao's arm, her eyes full of sincerity and gratitude.

After only meeting each other twice, they immediately called each other sisters. This shows how much the ancients valued gratitude!

Before Wang Xinyao could say anything, Zhao Yue'e quickly walked to her dressing table, opened the drawer with a swift movement, and carefully selected an exquisite and gorgeous gold hairpin. She put the hairpin on Wang Xinyao's head without hesitation and gently adjusted her hair.

"This is a gift from my sister. You must accept it!" Zhao Yue'e's tone was firm and sincere.

Wang Xinyao was startled by this sudden move, her eyes widened in surprise, and she was at a loss for words. This wave of actions that could not be refused left her completely unable to react.

Yes, that's right, it's a gold hairpin! And it's not just any silver jewelry, but a hairpin made of pure gold! Even in modern society, such a hairpin is worth a lot of money. Moreover, in this era, gold is even more rare and precious. Wang Xinyao sighed inwardly. Since she came here, this is the first time she has seen such precious gold.

Wang Xinyao was somewhat flattered and quickly waved her hand to decline, "Madam, my name is Wang Xinyao. This gift is too valuable. I cannot accept it! I am just an ordinary country woman. I simply cannot afford such a generous gift!"

"Sister Xinyao, my life is much more valuable than this gold hairpin, so just keep it. If you don't, you're looking down on me!" Zhao Yue'er pressed down Wang Xinyao's hand that was about to remove the hairpin. Maybe it was because of the spiritual spring water, Zhao Yue'er's stomach didn't hurt anymore, and her mental state was much better!

When he opened the door, Fang Zhiyuan and the maid were waiting outside anxiously. Seeing his wife actually get up from the bed, he was surprised and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "This is really a miracle doctor!"

Fang Zhiyuan immediately ordered a servant to bring the child over, carefully handing it to Wang Xinyao, who then carefully examined the child. Perhaps due to Zhao Yue'er's balanced nutrition during pregnancy, the child, despite being premature, was not significantly affected. Aside from a slight shock at birth, the child now appears perfectly healthy. The Fang family also hired two wet nurses to ensure the child had adequate milk.

It was not until this moment that Fang Zhiyuan finally breathed a sigh of relief, the heavy stone in his heart finally falling. He hurriedly called the housekeeper and forced two hundred taels of silver on Wang Xinyao.

Wang Xinyao couldn't help but sigh: "It's so easy to make money from rich people!"

At this moment, Zhao Yue'er said to Fang Zhiyuan again: "Husband, I have just acknowledged Sister Xinyao as my sister. As her brother-in-law, shouldn't you give her a gift?"

Zhao Yue'er's affection for Wang Xinyao was genuine. She offered Wang Xinyao gifts, but she refused them, demonstrating her impeccable character. Wang Xinyao was still young, yet possessed such ability. Reflecting on her own life, she was doted on by her brothers at her mother's house, needing only to play the role of a rich young lady. After marriage, she was beloved by her in-laws and husband, needing only to fulfill her duties as a wife. She also longed to do something meaningful.

"Hahaha, Madam's sister is my biological sister!" Before Wang Xinyao could refuse, Fang Zhiyuan immediately said decisively: "Come here, get the title deed of the rouge shop in Nanhu County!" This is a miracle doctor, he is also happy to make friends with him!

A rouge shop? When Wang Xinyao first arrived in ancient times, even a ride on an oxcart costing two taels of silver was unaffordable. Even after earning some money, it was still a drop in the bucket, barely enough to meet her needs. And now, Fang Zhiyuan's seemingly casual gift turned out to be a rouge shop. Having lived a life of hardship, this gesture completely overturned her previous understanding of the world! Is the world of the rich truly so casual?

Before Wang Xinyao recovered from her shock, the deed to the rouge shop was already in her hand. She opened her mouth to refuse when Zhao Yue'er spoke up, "Sister Xinyao, please don't refuse. I'm telling you this in secret, but don't tell anyone else. My grandfather is the emperor's uncle. Our family never gets involved in power struggles, so the emperor dotes on my father the most. Our family isn't short of money, and neither is my husband!"

Fang Zhiyuan said from the side, "Sister Xinyao, please accept this. My daughter Yue'er has no close friends since she came with me to this rural place. You are the only one she feels compatible with. If you have free time in the future, please come and chat with her more often! Besides, as a man, it is difficult for me to run the rouge business. If I leave it to you, you may be able to see better results. If you come up with a better beauty secret recipe in the future, please give Yue'er a few more sets! We will go to the capital in the early spring of next year. During this period, I hope Sister Xinyao will take good care of me!"

The scholar's words were truly extraordinary, making it difficult to find the words to refuse. He didn't treat her as an outsider at all, and displayed his affectionate affection right in front of her. Moreover, Zhao Yue'er had already revealed her true identity, so if she refused again, it would be unacceptable!

"Then I'll be grateful for your help. Thank you, Sister Yue'er and Brother-in-law!" Wang Xinyao no longer refused. With her own abilities, she firmly believed that one day she would have the opportunity to repay them!
