CHAPTER 408: CHAPTER 400: THE TRUTH

Yuan Bao cried for quite a while before gradually stopping.

Coming here through time travel, she originally thought she was being spoiled, but reality proved that there’s no love without reason. Even with her biological parents, they might not always pamper her.

However, with Mrs. Wei Shen, Yuan Bao experienced genuine care.

With Mrs. Wei Shen’s wisdom, how could she not understand what refusing Imperial Concubine Yi’s request meant? If it were anyone else, they might feign agreement to handle the matter.

Yet, Mrs. Wei Shen chose to decline directly, albeit politely.

Is Mrs. Wei Shen someone who doesn’t understand flexibility?

The answer is obviously no.

Her choice to refuse Imperial Concubine Yi simply showed that in her heart, she treated Yuan Bao as her own daughter.

Parents love their children, and so they plan for the long term.

"Godmother, don’t worry, your leg will definitely be healed!"

"I have a way!"

Yuan Bao dried her tears and looked at Mrs. Wei Shen, "Soon, I will heal you!"

Though Yuan Bao would use Incense Fire Wishing Power to treat Mrs. Wei Shen, she couldn’t expose this, so she had to find an alternative.

"Jiaojiao, are you serious?"

Upon hearing Yuan Bao’s words, Wei Qiqi excitedly grabbed Yuan Bao’s hand.

"Qiqi, do you think I would lie about such a matter?"

Other matters could allow for deceit, but this, concerning her godmother’s leg, Yuan Bao would never lie about.

"Mother, did you hear that?"

"Your leg has hope!"

Wei Qiqi enthusiastically grabbed Mrs. Wei Shen’s arm, cheering uncontrollably.

At this moment, Wei Qiqi pushed the wheelchair to take Mrs. Wei Shen back to her room.

Yuan Bao had someone prepare the golden needles, looking like she was about to heal Mrs. Wei Shen with acupuncture.

In reality, she was going to pretend to use acupuncture while secretly treating Mrs. Wei Shen with Incense Fire Wishing Power.

Incense Fire Wishing Power can heal all illnesses.

This had been verified by Yuan Bao.

However, to prevent her pseudo-medical skills from causing too much astonishment, Yuan Bao planned to delay the treatment for one day.

After a night’s delay, even if Mrs. Wei Shen stood up and walked briskly tomorrow, it wouldn’t be too shocking.

Certainly, once this matter spread, it would be inevitable that Yuan Bao would be labeled as a "Divine Doctor."

Yuan Bao always believed in repaying grievances and debts as well. Therefore, gratitude must also be repaid.

Treated like a daughter by Mrs. Wei Shen, how could Yuan Bao ignore her predicament?

Not only did she want to save Mrs. Wei Shen, but also to take revenge appropriately.

Emperor Xia wouldn’t discipline his woman, but Yuan Bao wouldn’t tolerate her misbehavior.

And besides Imperial Concubine Yi, there’s also the Fourteenth Prince.

Had it not been for the Fourteenth Prince, her godmother wouldn’t have suffered this undeserved disaster.

After pretending to perform acupuncture on Mrs. Wei Shen, as Yuan Bao requested, Mrs. Wei Shen laid down for a temporary rest while Yuan Bao pulled her god-sister out of the room to understand some matters.

"Qiqi, has something big happened in the Capital lately?"

Yuan Bao felt that it wasn’t likely for the Fourteenth Prince to suddenly have the idea of marrying her. There must be something she’s unaware of.

"Nothing significant has happened!"

Wei Qiqi tried hard to recall, but she couldn’t figure out anything.

Yuan Bao disagreed.

Initially, the Fourteenth Prince suspected she had Sheng Xueyi’s treasure and wanted to forcefully confront her and Mrs. Wei Shen, but it was her high-level master who eased the situation.

Later, her high-level master left, saying she would become Daxia’s entrenched weapon.

However, following that, the matter faded away.

Yuan Bao didn’t dare to ask since it related to the existence of space.

Now, Yuan Bao had become her master’s direct disciple, holding a unique position in Daxia...

Realizing this, Yuan Bao seemed to come to an understanding more than before.

The Fourteenth Prince targeting her was likely not his own intention but Emperor Xia’s.

"Qiqi, did the Fourteenth Prince come here before?"

"Yes, before Jiaojiao arrived, he even sent a lot of things and apologized to my mother..."

"Just as expected!"

Yuan Bao felt she had uncovered the truth.

It seemed Emperor Xia hadn’t forgotten about her uniqueness. Previously, she was just too young for Emperor Xia to reveal his intentions.

If not, it’s hard to explain why the Fourteenth Prince, nearly in his thirties, was still unmarried.

Emperor Xia’s indulgence toward Imperial Concubine Yi was indeed substantial.

"Qiqi, godmother should be healed by tomorrow!"

"I won’t stay here any longer!"

Initially, Yuan Bao wanted to discuss the Fourteenth Prince with her godmother, but now, it seemed unnecessary.

This she needed to discuss with her master.

"Jiaojiao, where are you rushing off to?"

"We’ve been apart for over a year!"

"Qiqi, there’s always time!"

"Besides, coming to Yunyang City, I must visit my grandparents, or people might think I’m unfilial?"

"That makes sense!"

Wei Qiqi said no more and personally sent Yuan Bao away.

...

Leaving the Wei Family, the carriage slowly headed towards the Yunyang City Yuan Family Mansion.

Currently, the Yuan Family Mansion still housed Old Yuan and Mrs. Zeng, as well as Mrs. Li, the Song Family, and Mrs. Peng. Even after getting married, Yuan Shoucheng and others lived in this Yuan Family Mansion.

The supposedly divided Yuan Family now seemed to be gathering again.

Since Yuan Yindi was serving as an official elsewhere and rarely returned to Yunyang City, and considering the unfavorable climate in Yanmen County, he couldn’t conveniently bring Old Yuan and Mrs. Zeng over so they wouldn’t be lonely. Yuan Yindi often turned a blind eye to local matters.

Now, the Yuan Family Mansion was no longer empty but appeared crowded.

As more people lived in the mansion.

Once, Yuan Bao had a separate courtyard, but it was now occupied.

When Yuan Bao, along with Nanny Xue and others, returned, she suddenly realized she had no place to stay in the mansion.

Though Old Yuan and Mrs. Zeng were overjoyed seeing Yuan Bao return, neither considered where she would stay.

Whether it was a real oversight or feigned ignorance remained uncertain.

Mrs. Li now resided here and even held the housekeeper role.

The Song Family and Mrs. Peng each had their respective courtyards here. Despite spending much time with Yuan Wangdi and Yuan Laidi in their appointments, their small courtyards in the mansion remained.
