Divorced by her husband's family and rejected by her own! She defiantly turned her life around

Doctor Wu and Doctor Li huddled together to look at the medical book, praising its brilliance as they read. They also examined the tools, which were oddly shaped, but just as described in the book.

"How is it? Do you like it?"

"I love it, I love it so much! I'll start studying it as soon as I get back."

Dr. Wu asked cautiously, "Could I copy this medical book?"

"Of course you can copy it here. You can all have dinner before you leave."

Dr. Li refused, "No, I'm afraid I have to go back to my clinic. I'll leave as soon as Dr. Wu finishes copying."

Liu Dawang broke out in a sweat; his fever had subsided, and he was more alert. "Dad, are you feeling better?"

"I'm fine? Where's your mother? She's been exhausted these past few days, is she alright?"

"Father, Mother is fine. She's resting in the next room. Get up quickly. Once you're better, Mother has something to tell you. Don't see each other for the next couple of days, so you don't pass on your illness to her."

Not long after Liu Siyue returned from the county town, the house at the end of the village was completed. She paid Master Chang and the others their wages, and then only her own people remained at the end of the village. The workers were on the other side and couldn't see this side at all.

Liu Siyue examined the princess's wound and found it was healing well. Following Liu Siyue's instructions, An Ying removed the stitches, and the princess was able to get out of bed and walk around the courtyard.

In just a few days, the princess had thoroughly investigated Liu Siyue's background, even finding out who delivered her baby.

The princess was puzzled. She had learned to read and write from her ex-husband, but she was more capable than him. She had learned skills that her ex-husband had not. How could that be? If her ex-husband had those skills, he would have been successful long ago.

The princess didn't believe the result, but she couldn't find anything deeper; the other party had hidden it too well.

Despite seemingly wandering aimlessly every day, Qingwu has a clear understanding of everything that happens at the end of the village. "Master, I have something to tell you."

Qingwu approached Liu Siyue, "The princess's people are investigating you."

"Yeah, let her investigate. It's all common knowledge, so we're not afraid of her investigating."

"The master saved her, but she still harbors resentment towards him, which makes people feel very uncomfortable."

"Aren't all those in power like this? They're all paranoid. Just ignore them, as long as they don't offend us or do anything outrageous."

A moment later, An Ying arrived. "Madam Liu, my master requests your presence."

Upon seeing the princess, Liu Siyue asked, "Miss Xia, what brings you here?"

"You haven't given me the surprise you promised."

"This matter will be fulfilled tonight. Don't get too excited then, or you might reopen your wound."

"Don't worry, I've seen it all, I'm neither sad nor happy."

In the afternoon, Liu Siyue asked Qingwu to go to town to pick up Qingling and bring her back. Liu Ruyun also came back with her.

When Qingling saw Liu Siyue, she said, "Master, can we talk now?"

"Okay, come with me. I'll introduce you to someone. Don't get excited, and don't cry!"

"Master, stop being so mysterious, who is it?"

"Don't worry, you'll see when you get there."

Liu Siyue led Qingling to the neighboring house. An Ying felt that the person looked somewhat familiar. She stopped Liu Siyue, "Madam Liu, who is she? Why are you bringing her to see my master?"

"Go in and announce that there's a surprise, and see if she'll see you."

Shadow immediately went in to report, "Master, Madam Liu brought a woman over. She looks like she knows martial arts. She asked if you wanted to see her, saying she had a pleasant surprise."

"Please invite them in."

"Master, that woman's origins are unknown."

"It's alright, I trust her. If she wants to harm me, she'll have plenty of opportunities to do so."

Shadow remained vigilant, treating the two with caution. He walked to the door and said, "Madam Liu, the master invites you both in."

Liu Siyue led Qingling into the room. The princess was sitting in a chair drinking tea. When Qingling entered and saw who was sitting in the chair, she couldn't believe it. "You...you are Her Highness the Princess?"

The princess also stood up from her chair. "You are peerless."

"Yes, I am Wushuang."

Princess, is that really you? What are you doing here?

"It's a long story, and what are you doing here?"

"Madam Liu is my mistress, and I am the servant she bought."

"Oh, Madam Liu is quite good at buying servants."

Liu Siyue looked smug. "I'm lucky!"

"Princess, since you've reunited with old friends, I won't disturb you any longer. Please enjoy your time together."

Qingling quickly stood up. "Thank you for your kindness, Master."

The princess and Qingling saw Liu Siyue out together, and then the two of them went back into the main hall and sat down. Qingling then told her about her experience of being sold and bought. "Princess, the master is really a very good person. We can only trust him."

"When did you become so trusting of someone? What's so great about her?"

Qingling then recounted all aspects of Liu Siyue's character and conduct, and also told her about their first heart-to-heart talk: "Princess, it was the encouragement from my mistress that filled me with hope for the future again."

"She is indeed extraordinary. For a country woman to have such insights makes this princess dare not underestimate her."

"Princess, please do not harbor any hostility towards your master."

"How could that be? She saved my life. I just want to know more about her. She's a very interesting person."

"Does the princess also think so? Master is indeed a very interesting and capable person. Many people in Lingshui County know his name. He once indirectly saved the lives of the county magistrate's wife and daughter."

"And this is another matter. Tell me everything you know," Qingling said again.

"I see. So she knows Wang Yalan. Was she the one who made that curved plow?"

"I don't know about that. I haven't heard the master mention it. However, the master bought a lot of curved plows to use, and everyone who has used them says they work very well."

"My master has also developed a new type of rice, which I've heard has a high yield and is currently being tested." After hearing this, the princess became even more interested in Liu Siyue.

"Princess, how did you get here?"

"Wushuang, don't call me princess anymore. From now on, just call me Miss Xia or Xia Lingshan."

"How can that be?"

I don't want to reveal myself for the time being.

I had been imprisoned in the Princess's Mansion by my father. After my father died, the eldest prince tried to win me over, but I refused. He was worried that I would join forces with his own younger brother, so he wanted to get rid of me. I received the news and fled the capital with my men. We were chased all the way here.

At that time, we were being besieged by assassins, and I was seriously injured. I thought I was going to die here. Perhaps it was God who took pity on me and saw how miserable I was. He let me meet Liu Siyue, the mistress and servant, who was hunting in the mountains. It was Qingwu who saved me.

He had previously treated his injuries at a house in the county town, and later moved here.

"Miss Xia, please stay here and rest to recover. We'll talk about everything else once you've healed."

Liu Siyue has been back for several days, but Han Xiaoyu hasn't come yet. Given that girl's personality, it shouldn't be like this. Perhaps she's been delayed by something.

Han Xiaoyu didn't come because she was held up by something. The whole family had planned to visit Liujia Village, but their business ran into trouble, and her father had to go out to handle business matters. They would go when he returned.

Who knew they would encounter bandits on the road? Fortunately, the servant was quick-witted, and although both master and servant were seriously injured, they managed to escape with their lives. However, Master Han's injuries were much more severe, and he remained unconscious upon returning.

Han Xiaoyu has been very well-behaved these past few days, staying by her father's side and hoping he will recover soon. Her plan to visit Liu Siyue will have to be postponed.

Recently, bandits have been rampant everywhere, robbing passersby and merchants. Men are killed on the spot, and women are taken up into the mountains. This banditry seems to have spread throughout the Great Sheng Dynasty, and the people are living in fear when they go out.
