Xie Zhinuan just stood at the door, silently watching.
In that instant, she couldn’t help but wonder if leaving abruptly would be too heartless.
If she left, what would become of these people?
What would happen to grandma Chen, Aunt Chen, the silly girl? What about Xiaoyuan? And the chefs who wanted to follow her to make big money? What about the farmer families from the manors, and all these people in the restaurant, where would they go?
So many people, depending on her for their livelihood, if she weakly left, where would that leave those who devotedly followed her?
“Miss!” The silly girl stepped forward, calling out softly and handing over something.
“What is it?”
“Have a look, Miss!” the silly girl said with a light laugh.
Xie Zhinuan took it and opened it to find a Brocade Box; inside the box was a pearl.
The pearl was round and lustrous without any flaws, and it must be quite valuable.
“Where did you buy this?” Xie Zhinuan asked.
“On the street, someone said it came from a clamshell. I thought it was very nice, so I bought it to give to you, Miss!” the silly girl said with a light laugh, her face all smiles as she stood beside Xie Zhinuan.
She had taken Xie Zhinuan’s advice and selected a few people from below to take charge. She delegated tasks to them, which was more relaxing than managing everything herself, and the results were good.
When they were uncertain about something, she’d take a look and it saved time and effort.
“For me?” Xie Zhinuan was surprised.

The silly girl had bought a pearl for her.“Miss, your skin is so fair, this pearl would make a beautiful hairpin, and you’ll definitely look good wearing it!” the silly girl said warmly.
Looking at Xie Zhinuan, “I always wanted to give something to you, Miss, but you already have everything. Today, when I saw this pearl, it seemed just perfect!”
Fearing Xie Zhinuan might refuse, the silly girl hurriedly said, “Miss, you may think that we were once people of His Highness, and we might be again in the future, but you might have heard the saying, ‘a servant cannot serve two masters.’ Since we started following you, we’ve made our decision. Later, His Highness also said that we are your people, and for the rest of our lives, we will only heed your commands!”
“Miss, loyalty is not just a matter of words, but something that needs to be proven with real actions. Time will prove many things; you just watch!”
“…” Xie Zhinuan wanted to say something else.
But the silly girl didn’t give her the chance, “Miss, no matter what you are going to do or where you are going in the future, please be sure to take the silly girl with you. The silly girl is only yours, and will only listen to you!”
After saying this, she turned and walked away.
The silly girl knew clearly, Xie Zhinuan hadn’t experienced what she had been through, didn’t know how hard and how remarkable it was for them to come out from that dark place and live a normal life.
That day, several people were chosen, and it was their fortune and destiny for the three of them. They had made their choice long ago.
Xie Zhinuan watched the silly girl leave, then looked at the pearl in her hand.
She took out the pearl and held it up, examining it closely.
“It’s really beautiful!” Xie Zhinuan said softly.
Suddenly, the originally overcast sky cleared up. Xie Zhinuan squinted her eyes, and gradually, her mood brightened as well, the thoughts that had clogged her heart vanished in an instant.
When she came here, the original body was already dead, and this space had chosen her, not the original host.
She should not belittle herself, nor doubt herself.
Instead, she should practice martial arts diligently, study medical texts hard, and aspire to diagnose and treat people soon.
To not have come to this other world in vain.
Xie Zhinuan smiled gently, joyfully, and with relief.
Xuan Mu stood at the archway, holding a book, watching blankly.
His heart ached, but joy gradually filled his eyes.
