In the beginning.

She simply felt that those abandoned infants were truly pitiable. However, as the infant girls grew up and some were even found to have Spiritual Roots, Madam Luo realized that she could not rely on herself to provide these children with good resources.

So.

She began to lease the Spirit Field, cultivate Spiritual Mulberry, and train these girls to help with mulberry planting, silkworm rearing, and weaving Magic Robes. Over time, they managed to form an industrial chain.

Decades passed.

Grandma Luo adopted countless baby girls and did not interfere much with their aspirations after they grew up. If they wanted to get married, she prepared a generous dowry, and if they wanted to enter Noble Families, she helped them establish connections.

As a result.

The local World Suppression Bureau submitted her deeds to the Court. After the Court sent people to verify the truth of the matter, they specifically conferred upon Madam Luo the title of Ninth Grade and bestowed upon her a fief.

Madam Luo, together with her adopted daughters, worked in unity and even set up a shop in the Cloud Dragon Marketplace, right next to the Fu Family, dedicated to selling finished Magic Robes.

After the two met.

Madam Luo learned that Liuu Meizhen had come all the way from Jingzhou, and seeing Liuu Meizhen alone, she instantly recalled her own experiences, naturally feeling a sense of fondness as she said with a warm smile:

"Madam Fu, since you are new here, if you need any help from me, please feel free to let me know."

After saying this.

Without waiting for Liuu Meizhen to respond, Madam Luo briskly returned to her shop, and after a while, she brought seven or eight girls over, smiling as she said:

"Madam Fu, if these days your shop needs redecorating or anything needs to be set up, feel free to instruct these girls to handle it."

Liuu Meizhen was indeed in need of help, so she accepted graciously and thanked them.

After Madam Luo left.

Her gaze fell on the brow of one of the girls, froze for a moment, and gestured with her hand:

"Cui Zhi, you follow me to the backyard"

Cui Zhi had only recently come over from the countryside garden, and upon hearing this, followed Liuu Meizhen to the backyard somewhat cautiously. There she saw Liuu Meizhen deactivate the Defense Array in the backyard and again focus her gaze on the peony-like small mark on Cui Zhi’s brow:

"Cui Zhi, this peony mark on your brow is....."

Cui Zhi, who was initially a bit nervous, relaxed a bit upon hearing this and responded with a smile:

"To report to Madam Fu, this mark, as Grandma Luo said, was there when she found me back then. Grandma Luo said that at the time, my eyes had not even opened, so I must have been born not long before. So this peony mark is a birthmark, only it was this big when I was little, and it remains just a tiny bit as I grew up."

Liuu Meizhen carefully examined Cui Zhi’s brows again, suppressing her inner astonishment, and blurted out:

"Was it from Cloud Snow Mountain that Grandma Luo picked you up?"

Cui Zhi was taken aback.

Because Madam Luo never told others where she picked up the abandoned infants, only telling the girls when they grew up and understood, to prevent any schemer from falsely claiming to be a relative.

Thus.

For Liuu Meizhen to accurately mention the name Cloud Snow Mountain, Cui Zhi was extremely shocked, her whole body trembling slightly:

"Madam Fu, do you.... do you perhaps know who my biological parents are?"

Seeing that Cui Zhi did not deny it, Liuu Meizhen quickly lowered her head to calm the overwhelming waves in her heart, waved her sleeve, and poured a cup of tea, handing it to Cui Zhi with intention: 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

"Cui Zhi, drink this tea to calm your nerves, and I will explain everything in detail."

Cui Zhi heard Grandma Luo mention that back then there was even a blood-stained half piece of Jade Pendant by her side. So most likely, her parents were being chased by enemies, and to save her life, they abandoned her then and there.

All these years.

She had always fantasized about the day her parents would appear in front of her. Now that she felt close to getting answers, how could she not be excited? Without hesitation, she took the tea that Liuu Meizhen handed over and drank it all in one go.
