Shen Mohen could not help but consider these possibilities. He always thought Su Binn hid many secrets. Of course, he did not have ill intentions when considering these things.
He was more interested in medicine and wanted to learn from the youngdy. He used to think the masters of the Legendary Medicine Valley were the best, but no longer.
Moreover, Su Binn also knew the Legendary Medicine Valley’s lost art of acupuncture. When Shen Mohen returned to the valley to tell his master, thetter became excited.
If it were not for the fact that the master could not leave the valley now, he would havee to learn from Su Binn at the first possible moment. Su Binn noticed Shen Mohen’s cautious and excited expression. She said,
“Everything I know is self-taught.”
If it were anyone else, they would be shocked. However, Shen Mohen was only shocked momentarily before muttering, “My master said the Valley’s first ancestor was also self-taught and researched many poisons. She even founded acupuncture.”
Su Binn raised an eyebrow when she heard about the first ancestor. She listened to Shen Mohen thoughtfully and considered going to the Legendary Medicine Valley.
‘Maybe I can find something there.’
Su Binn had already prepared her needed things while talking to Shen Mohen to cure Yue Huachen’s eyes. She also prepared her silver needles for the procedure.
Su Binn looked at Yue Huachen and said, “This is medicine. You should eat it first.’
Yue Huachen rarely spoke but listened to Su Binn seriously just now. Since he was blind, it amplified his sense of hearing. He thought Su Binn’s voice resembled Princess Lan Ruobing.
‘If not for the minor difference, I would’ve thought it came from the same person. That can’t be. Princess Lan is dead.’
Previously, Yue Huachen grieved Princess Lan Ruobings death and no longer had the will to live. However, he got through it because he had yet to avenge his mother.
He also suspected Princess Lan Ruobings death was not as it seemed and wanted to do something for her. After all, she was his benefactor.
Yue Huachen was ecstatic when Su Binn said she could cure him. Therefore, he took the medicine without hesitation. Then Su Binn started the procedure.
She filled her hands with Soul Powers and transmitted it into her silver needles. Then she used her powers to disperse Yue Huachen’s poison bit by bit.
The medicine Su Binn gave Yue Huachen also helped remove the poison in him. Fifteen minutester, Su Binn kept her silver needles. Meanwhile, Yue Huachen had fallen asleep because of the medicine he had taken.
Su Binn told Shen Mohen, “He can see again when he wakes up. However, I want him to stay here as my musician. Consider it his payment.”
“Yes, of course.” Shen Mohen nodded. “I’ve already discussed that with Huachen, and he agreed.”
Su Binn remembered something and asked, “Was the Legendary Medicine Valley’s first ancestor a woman?”
“Yes, she was.’
Su Binn asked, “Do you have a portrait of her?”
After some thought, Shen Mohen answered, “We should have one, but I’ve never seen it. Only the Valley’s precious masters have seen the portrait.”
Su Binn fell into deep thought. After a while, she nodded and said, “Okay, go and rest first. We’ll have dinner here tonight.”
Shen Mohen was thrilled. He had heard that Su Binn possessed excellent cooking skills and that her food could not be bought elsewhere. Finally, he could taste Su Binn’s food for himself.
“All right.” Shen Mohen’s demeanor was nothing before Su Binn. After all, she was a prodigy in medicine. Moreover, he always felt a sense of familiarity when facing the youngdy.
After leaving the guest room, su Binn went to look tor her mother Shen Qiuhua kneaded the dough while Liu Yunyun mixed the filling.
Su Binn asked, “Will you guys make rice cakester?”
Shen Qiuhua smiled. “Yes, that’s our tradition. Making rice cakes symbolizes prosperity, so we make them every year. Also, most families offer rice cakes when receiving guests during the holidays.
“Since our family’s conditions weren’t good in the past, we couldn’t afford rice cakes. We could only make a few. But we can make more this time. We’ll eat someter and save the rest for the following days.”
Shen Qiuhua looked at Su Binn as she spoke. She noticed her daughter might have something on her mind and asked, “l heard guests in the room just now. Is he the zither yer you wanted for your y?”
Su Binn nodded. “Yes, Mother. Someone else came with him, too. He’s the Shen family’s young master. Isn’t the Shen family one of the six great families?”
She paid close attention to her mother’s expression when she asked that. She noticed Shen Qiuhua!s hand stopping and her head lowering. Her slight movements helped Su Binn understand the situation.
‘What does Mother know?’
“Mother, I think it’s quite the coincidence that you two share a simr surname.”
Shen Qiuhua raised her head to look at her daughter. She knew her daughter’s intelligence and did not want to lie to her. Shen Qiuhua asked, “Do you want to know something, Binn?”
Su Binn answered, “l won’t ask if you don’t want to tell me, Mother. You’re still my mother, no matter what. No one can let you suffer, and you can do whatever you want. I will always support you.”
Shen Qiuhua became misty-eyed when she heard her daughter’s words.
Initially, Liu Yinyin did not understand what was happening, but the more she listened, the more she felt something was amiss.
When she finally understood what was happening, she raised her brows, wondering, ‘Is my mother-inw rted to the Shen family?’
Shen Qiuhua went silent momentarily. Then she said, “Wenzhe,e knead the dough and make the rice cakes with Yinyin. I’ll go and prepare something else with Binn.”
Su Wenzhe was thick-skulled and did not overthink it. He only came to help knead the dough while his mother and sister went to another room.
The mother-daughter duo sat at a table. Shen Qiuhua wanted to say something but did not know where to start.
Su Binn looked at her mother, who tried recalling her memories, and said,
“Mother, we don’t have to talk about it if you don’t want to.”
Shen Qiuhua said, “l knew you’d learn about these things sooner orter. I will share my childhood memories with you.
“I’m the eldest daughter of the Shen family’s main branch. I enjoyed a luxurious life; my grandmother doted on me the most. The other family members didn’t like my grandmother’s favoritism toward me.
“Internal strife was fierce in a massive family like the Shens. 1 didn’t know about that when I was young, but dangers often remain hidden in the dark.
“Someone murdered my grandmother, and 1 witnessed her death. Lian Qiao, my grandmother’s servant girl, covered my mouth so I wouldn’t reveal myself.
When the culprits left, my grandmother looked at me with tears and begged Lian Qiao to take me away from the family, to go far away and live a good life with a hidden identity. My grandmother wanted me to live on and forget the Shen family..”
