Elder Princess naturally nodded in agreement to Nanny Bai’s words.
"Nanny Bai, please take good care of the Zeng Family in the future. Since they have chosen to follow Miss Lin, they must not be mistreated in any way."
She instructed Nanny Bai.
If the Zeng Family was mistreated, then it would be her own child being wronged. How could she allow such a thing?
"Yes, I understand." Nanny Bai responded.
With the matters in Jianan City being resolved, Lin Caisang prepared to depart.
Departing was generally a simple affair. However, the farewell arranged by Eunuch Hua had turned into an elaborate ceremony, taking her all the way beyond the city walls of Jianan. Only after saying her goodbyes to Eunuch Hua was she able to drive her carriage away alone.
However, the busy traffic along the main road beyond the city made it impossible for her to enter her magical bead space.
Finally, upon reaching a rather secluded area under a large tree, after confirming that no one was passing by, she promptly stored her carriage away in her ranch space before slipping in herself.
Upon entering the ranch space, she was startled by a small creature clinging to the carriage wheel. She was so scared that she nearly shrieked.
Reaching out, she picked up the little creature from the carriage wheel and cradled it in her arms.
"Little one, when did you sneak onto the carriage? Why didn’t you tell me, hmm?" Gently patting the head of the small creature, she quietly asked.
It was a baby squirrel, still tiny, about the same size as a mouse, but incredibly adorable.
On second thought, she had parked her carriage under a large pine tree. Could this little one have fallen from a branch straight onto her carriage wheel?
But it was too late to think about all that. Either way, she couldn’t return it now.
"Well, guess you’ll have to make do and live here. The ranch space here is quite good, with lots of little buddies. You won’t have to worry about getting bored."
She placed the squirrel back onto the ground, allowing it to scamper off into the grassland.
"Yujing, bring out all the books on mechanical puppets, I need to copy them." After settling the squirrel, she spoke to her magical mirror.
Soon, many books related to mechanical puppetry came out, one by one, in front of her. Taking out the blank books she had prepared, she began to transcribe them with a small pencil.
It can’t be helped; asking her to use a brush... just give her a break. She could make do with a pencil, and her dear brother could make do with reading it.
In Ya Village, night had fallen, and several figures flitted across the night, heading directly into Molian’s courtyard, which was next door to the Lin Family.
After a while, a light from an oil lamp illuminated a room.
"Put her on the bed." Removing his black veil, revealing his face, it was none other than Molian.
The man carrying a woman drenched in blood behind him, who was also garbed in a black veil, nodded upon hearing his words and gently placed the seriously injured woman on the bed.
"Master, I will fetch Miss Lin." Another person also removed his black veil and said to Molian.
Molian didn’t let him go, but went out himself. He went directly to Lin Caisang’s room.
"What should we do, what should we do? Zhe Jue, think of a solution quickly." After placing the woman on the bed, the man in the veil turned to Zhe Jue with a plea for help in his eyes.
At this moment, he was truly tempted to break open this man’s skull to see what on earth was inside it.
