It seemed that her mother’s return had indeed blocked the financial paths of many people.

The Xia Wenzheng family, as well as the cousin and half-brother of her maternal grandfather, were all potential suspects who could harm her mother…

Seeing things this way, matters seemed to be getting more complicated.

They could only catch the poisoner by waiting for them to act again.

It was uncertain whether the ginger had taken effect, the acupuncture had worked, or she had simply gotten used to the rocking of the boat, but on the third day, Dong Wenxiu’s seasickness had eased considerably.

She was no longer vomiting everything she ate, and she had regained her energy.

“Amitabha, seeing that the young miss is not uncomfortable anymore eases this old servant’s mind,” said the eldest servant of the Ling family with glee.

She went to the kitchen herself to prepare some light dishes and a clear porridge for Dong Wenxiu.

“Thank you, Granny,” Dong Wenxiu smiled, “I’m actually quite hungry.”

Yang Miao didn’t want to stop the elder servant’s Granny Ling from serving food, so she hurriedly found an opportunity to go next door and fetch Yang Ruxin.

When Yang Ruxin arrived, Dong Wenxiu was just about to start on her bowl of porridge.

Seeing her daughter, she hurriedly called her, “Xinxin, Granny Ling has made some dishes and porridge.

Would you like some too?”

“Yes, please,” Yang Ruxin nodded.

Granny Ling hurried over and scooped another bowl of porridge from the pot for Yang Ruxin, “The young miss wasn’t feeling well the past couple of days.

For now, you can only have something bland.

Give it a few more days, Granny will make you some meat porridge…”

“Granny, your cooking skills are excellent,” praised Yang Ruxin after sipping the clear porridge and picking up some of the dishes with her chopsticks, “The porridge is cooked to perfection, and these dishes are even more exquisite…”

“Old servant would not deny that, the former madam used to enjoy my cooking too,” Granny Ling’s face was full of happy wrinkles upon hearing Yang Ruxin’s compliment, “If the miss and the elder cousin like it, old servant will cook every day…”

“Granny, you were by Grandma’s side, and although Grandma is no longer with us, you are still an elder.

Whether it’s my mother or I, or from my uncle’s side, we will all take care of you in your old age.

Please, just call me Ruxin.

‘Cousin’ sounds a bit uncomfortable,” Yang Ruxin picked another dish for Dong Wenxiu, “Mother, eat some more.”

“Alright.” Tears of emotion welled up in Granny Ling’s eyes.

Dong Wenxiu’s meal was satisfying; she finished a bowl of porridge and a couple of plates of dishes.

That night, she slept soundly, and her appetite gradually returned to normal over the next two days.

However, aside from the seasickness medicine that had once been poisoned, everything had been calm for the past two days.

Du Man and several others hadn’t spotted any suspicious people or occurrences.

On the fifth day, the passenger boat docked at a place called Boli Town, where it was expected to stay for about half a day to procure food.

The season was not too hot, and the purchased foods could typically be stored for three to five days.

As they continued south, they would need to buy food every two days.

Boli Town was said to be on the edge of Changhuai State.

“Ruxin, let’s go for a stroll,” Yu Qingge had lost the initial excitement of leaving the house.

After being cooped up for five days, she finally had the chance to go out, and naturally, she wouldn’t miss this opportunity, “I’ve heard that there’s a lively market here.”

“Yes,” Yang Ruxin nodded, “I’m feeling a bit bored too.

More importantly, I really want to try the local snacks.”
