However, she promised to take on more tasks, and she wouldn’t go back on her word.
Calming her thoughts, Kang Li conveyed her gratitude through her mind: "I should be the one thanking you."
Dwen Dwen blushed: "No need to be so polite, big sis." Then it asked Kang Li to open her palm: "I’ll give you the pill now."
"Alright."
As Kang Li responded, a body strengthening pill suddenly appeared in her palm.
"Big sis, quickly take it, so you won’t feel nauseous anymore!"
"Thank you!"
Kang Li thanked Dwen Dwen again, then she took the familiar, mildly fragrant pill.
"How do you feel?"
"It lts in the mouth."
"What else?"
"My whole body feels warm."
"That ans the pill is working, big sis, you should take a bath later!"
"Bathe here?"
"No need to worry about safety, big sis. I’ll be in the room guarding, won’t let anyone co in while you bathe."
"Okay."
At that mont, voices were heard outside the door.
"Is the young lady awake?"
"I was just about to check inside the room."
"Are these the clothes prepared for the young lady?"
"Yes. All newly bought, washed, and sun-dried, as the master instructed before departure."
"Take good care of the young lady, rember, no mistakes are allowed. Answer truthfully if she asks anything, don’t make her angry."
"Understood."
"Alright, go in then, if the young lady needs anything, just tell . Ah Xiang will bring so refreshnts later."
By this ti, Kang Li was already sitting up. She could hear clearly that it was a man and a woman speaking outside, and at this mont, Kang Li guessed why she was on the cargo ship.
The door opened, and a girl in a maid’s uniform with a Chinese face, seemingly about seventeen or eighteen, walked in.
She held a pile of clean clothes, including underwear and a nightgown, as well as outerwear like pants and skirts, all in a simple elegance but of obvious quality.
"Y-young lady, you’re awake?!"
This maid was nad Ah Lan. Her ancestors went abroad for labor due to livelihood needs, and over ti, settled in Guoan.
In Ah Lan’s generation, although her family could barely make ends et, there were quite a few siblings. To ease the family burden, Ah Lan sought work outside the slums, fortunately getting hired at the Jiang family estate.
This ti, she was chosen because of her diligence and honesty, yet smart, to accompany another maid nad Ah Xiang, following the designated person by Jiang Hongfa, to take care of Kang Li’s living needs on the journey ho.
"Why am I here?"
Despite her guess, Kang Li needed confirmation.
Ah Lan: "In response to the young lady, we are following the master’s orders to bring you ho."
Kang Li: "We?"
"Young lady, the master arranged six people to co to bring you back. Knowing you don’t want to return, the master... the master had Brother Wang use so minor ans, but neither the master nor we an you any harm."
"Who is your master?"
"Young lady, our master’s last na is Jiang, he is your paternal grandfather."
"My grandfather is back in my hotown, and my current ho is in North City."
"Young lady, you are the master’s biological granddaughter. As to why you’ve been living in the mainland, when you return to the estate, you can ask the master in person."
"Do you know that what you’re doing is illegal?"
