stranger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’m telling you, you’ve been deceived, they’ve spoiled your granddaughter, and now they’ve taken the silver and run.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just you watch, if that Jin

Zijin’s thatched cottage was located in a remote area, otherwise, she would have lost all face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The butler’s carriage stopped upon reaching the town.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The butler said, “Master Jin, I shall leave you here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The road ahead is the official highway, it’s easy to travel!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jin Zijin nodded slightly and said in a deep voice, “Butler, may I have a word with you in private!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The butler was slightly stunned, wondering what Jin Zijin could possibly want to say to him alone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could it be about Miss Gu?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was not something to take lightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He glanced at the coachman sitting on the carriage, but still followed Jin Zijin aside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Master Jin, whatever you want to say, just say it!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jin Zijin nodded and said, “Butler, whatever you’ve reported to the Lin Family in previous years, report the same this year.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The butler’s expression changed, and he exclaimed, “Master Jin, what do you mean by this?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was he suggesting they should not tell the lord and madam that Miss Gu’s illness was greatly improved?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jin Zijin said gravely, “Butler, there’s no need to ask.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By doing so, we also ensure Youyou’s safety.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You are a smart man, or else the Great Scholar Lin wouldn’t have trusted you with such an important task!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few simple words set off turbulent waves in the butler’s heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked at Jin Zijin for a long time, his heart churning, and ultimately, he nodded his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All along the way, the butler was restless, with Jin Zijin’s words and his demeanor popping up in his mind from time to time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A young man who seemed unkempt, but whose mind was as clear as a polished mirror.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were suspicions they had harbored for some time, but…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>ten years ago, the Great Scholar Lin was only a fourth-grade reader in the Imperial Academy, his status in the capital was unstable, and he simply had no time to worry about anything else.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The days grew longer, and the weather warmer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The snow had stopped falling outside, and the thick snow on the mountains was also slowly melting away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Youyou, who had traveled through time, had finally made it through her first harsh winter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Youyou was a doctor, a practitioner of Chinese medicine, but she also had her own hobbies – one of which was clothing design.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If her parents had not passed away so early, leaving her as their only daughter, she would have, like her aunt, renounced her inheritance and pursued what she enjoyed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in this world, there are too many helpless situations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those who can live according to their own wishes are God’s favorites, but Gu Youyou never felt she was one of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She thought she must be one of those God scorned, which is why she had faced so many hardships from a young age.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A lifetime, two lifetimes – she wondered when there would be an end.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She knew how to make clothes, but for fear of revealing too much and arousing suspicion, Gu Youyou dared not proceed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With spring approaching and the weather set to warm up even more soon, the farming folks would have endless chores to do.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Taking advantage of the lull before the busy season, both men and women had to do some
