"Ah Jiu, my wife: Today I arrived in Changshan Prefecture, and Prefect Lei prepared a lavish banquet to welcome me, but my palate has been spoilt by your cooking, and I can't swallow anything down here. What should I do, Ah Jiu? I won't see you for a long time, my food lacks flavor, and I can't sleep at night. What should I do? ... Ah Jiu, I miss you so much!

Husband: Mo."

Looking at the letter just received from Long Xuanmo, Yang Mengchen's cheeks flushed with embarrassment, she looked up and saw Lv Luo and the other two deeply engrossed in their books, she quietly took a few deep breaths to calm her emotions and a gentle, soft smile played upon her lips.

Ever since Long Xuanmo left, he would write her a thick letter every two days, the content merely about daily trivialities, almost like accounting for water's flow, with no sweet words or honeyed phrases, but warmth and sweetness could be felt between the lines.

"Old Madam, what's wrong with you? Don't scare this old servant, please! Coachmen, quickly, return to town to find a doctor!"

A voice filled with panic and alarm came from up ahead. Yang Mengchen put the letter into her purse, and at the same time ordered, "Hai Tang, go and see what's happening."

Hai Tang respectfully responded and, guiding the carriage, hastened forward, stopping after a moment.

"Miss Hai Tang?" Just as Yang Mengchen was about to get off the carriage, a voice brimming with surprise rang out, "May I ask if Miss Hai Tang, is Ms. Yang inside the carriage? There is an old lady in my carriage who suddenly fainted and hasn't woken up, I beg Ms. Yang to save this old lady."

As Hai Tang closely followed Yang Mengchen, many people recognized her.

Yang Mengchen got down from the carriage and hurried to the opposite side, she recognized Coachman Shen who operated the transport business from Anping County to various villages. She nodded slightly then spoke toward the carriage, "I have some medical knowledge, may I examine and treat the old lady?"

"Ms. Yang's medical skill is excellent, sister can rest assured," Coachman Shen said, afraid the old woman inside might refuse, he joined in persuading her.

No sooner had he finished speaking than the curtain was lifted, and an unremarkable elderly maid with a look of anxiety stepped down from the carriage. She glanced at Yang Mengchen, her eyes not showing disdain but instead a hint of joy, "Please, Ms. Yang."

Yang Mengchen didn't delay any further, lifted the curtain, and entered the carriage. There lay an old lady simply dressed, eyes tightly closed, slumped over the seat, her complexion a bit pale.

After feeling her pulse for a moment, Yang Mengchen took out a Pill to aid the old lady in swallowing it down, then removed a Black Needle to pierce it into a few acupoints in the old lady's chest and head with varying depths. Her pale, delicate hand rested on the woman's chest, her profound Inner Strength continuously flowed into her body.

The maid beside her opened her mouth but said nothing, her feelings a mixture of tension and complexity.

Lv Luo and Shan Cha stood guard beside Yang Mengchen.

And Mo Mei looked at the old lady, then at the elderly maid, her eyebrows slightly furrowed, her eyes deep with thought, wondering about something.

Several hollow Black Needles first oozed out a black substance, then gradually turned to bright red. The old lady's complexion slowly grew rosier, and only then did Yang Mengchen withdraw her Inner Strength, removed the needles, and placed them back in her purse, pulling out a cloth to gently wipe away some bloodstains from the old lady's face.

About half an hour passed before the old lady slowly opened her eyes, her expression momentarily confused.

"Old Madam, you suddenly fainted earlier, but luckily Ms. Yang happened to be passing by and saved you," the old maid said with joy and a sense of relief.

The old lady smiled at Yang Mengchen, "Thank you for saving this old woman." She then tried to sit up.

Helping the old lady to sit properly, Yang Mengchen smiled and said, "It was merely a small effort on my part, Old Madam, please don't worry about it."

"Without you, I dare not think of the consequences." The old lady was immensely grateful, "If Ms. Yang doesn't mind, just call me Grandma Qin, and her, Sister Chu."
