Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
On the 20th of July, the group left the Sorcerer Clan.
They did not say that they wanted to detoxify Yan Jiuchao. They only said that it was time to go home, and he did not question anything.
Whether it was Yu Wan’s body or Yan Jiuchao’s illness, the earlier they arrived at the Great Zhou, the better. When they came, they did not recognize the way. Now that Shadow Six had already drawn a map, they naturally knew which was the closest path.
“After leaving the Jade Nation, if we don’t pass through the Nether Capital and the Ghost Clan, the Feiyu Manor is the closest,” Shadow Six said as he pointed at the map.
“Ping’er.” Yu Wan called over this maidservant who had accompanied her for
many days. “Let me ask you. we’ll pass by the lade Nation on our way back. Do
you want to leave with me or go home?”
Ping’er had mentioned to her before that she wanted to follow her all the time.
She did not agree at that time because Ping’er’s family was in the Jade Nation. It might be fine if she followed her for a year or so. As time passed, it was inevitable that she would miss her family.
However, after a while, Yu Wan realized that Ping’er had never shown any longing for her family. She guessed that Ping’er’s relationship with her family might not be as close as she thought.
Ping’er knelt down. “Young Madam, please take me in! My parents have long passed away. I grew up with my uncle’s family. They… they didn’t treat me as one of their own! They sold me to a merchant ship as a maidservant, so they didn’t expect me to return unscathed. If I hadn’t met Young Madam, I might have been… used by those bosses to please someone!”
This girl also had a miserable background.
Yu Wan helped Ping’er up and said, “Of course I’m not unwilling to let you stay. I’m pregnant, and I indeed lack a maidservant by my side. However, I might as well tell you that my husband’s family is in the Great Zhou. I don’t know if you’ve heard of the Great Zhou, but it’s even further east than the Jadeite Nation. It’s so far away that you can’t imagine it. Perhaps once you go there, you won’t be able to return to the Jade Nation in my life. Even so, do you still want to follow?
If you’re lucky, you might be able to find a relatively reliable marriage in the Great Zhou. If you’re unlucky and meet a bad person, you won’t even have a relative from your maternal family to support you. You have to consider this carefully. ”
Ping’er was stunned.
Yu Wan did not force her, although it was fine for her to take Ping’er away by force. Since Ping’er had been sold to her, it was hers. She could do whatever she wanted with Ping’er, but she still hoped that this little girl could make her own choice.
Yu Wan returned to her room to pack her things.
Ping’er walked over with a bag and kowtowed to Yu Wan. “Young Madam, please take me in.”
“You’ve thought it through?” Yu Wan asked.
Ping’er nodded. “Yes, I’ve thought about it. At home, I’m a loss-making thing. My uncles can sell me wherever they want. Even if I’m lucky enough to return this time, who knows where they’ll sell me in a few days? I’m willing to follow Young Master and Young Madam!”
Following Young Madam, she was at least a person, not an object!
Of course, before she met Young Madam, even if she met a good master, she would not dare to have such thoughts. However, when she interacted with Young Madam, Young Madam’s differences infected her. Only then did she know that women could live like this.
She did not want to live like Young Madam, but she was unwilling to live like a non-human again.
Yu Wan also heaved a sigh of relief. Although she said it casually, in fact, she was used to using Ping’er. It was very likely that she would not like another maidservant so much.
Yu Wan smiled and said, “Alright, stop kneeling. Take your things. It’s time to leave.”
Ping’er knew that Yu Wan and Yan Jiuchao were the masters of a rich family and used extremely decent servants. On the other hand, she was born in the countryside and could use her for a while. If she really followed them back to the manor, she was afraid that she was still not qualified. She was worried that Yu Wan had said beautiful words earlier, but she was actually unwilling to bring her along. Seeing that Yu Wan had finally accepted her, the stone in her heart was relieved.
At the same time, she also realized that Yu Wan was sincerely thinking for her. She became even more grateful to Yu Wan and secretly swore that she would be twice as loyal in the future and serve her master better.
The group prepared five carriages, including three trucks. One contained their luggage, one contained Old Cui’s herbs, and the other was a gift prepared by Chef Bao and Zhou Jin for them.
Chef Bao said, “This is for your uncle. Has that clueless’ leg recovered? He can cook again, right?”
“Grandpa Bao…” Yu Wan looked at the recipe in her hand and was so shocked that she was speechless. She thought that Grandpa Bao was writing the recipe for Uncle Jiang..
