Chapter 42: Ancient Armor

  After she finished the ritual of kneeling and bowing, turned around, her demeanor and movements were like those of a solemn woman, not beautiful but extremely dignified. She exchanged Buddhist greetings with the abbot and then greeted us again. The abbot only then said: "Madam Wei, how is Lord Wei doing lately?"

  "Master Hou is doing well." Madame Wei sighed softly, and the group continued towards the guest house. As they walked, Madame Wei said: "It's just that my son has been refusing to eat since he was frightened on the street a few days ago. He won't say anything when asked, it's really worrying."

  "What fright has our young master suffered?" asked Fang Zhang.

  "A few days ago, several women around me took him out to cut clothes, and he was almost run over by a horse carriage due to carelessness. Fortunately, someone saved him, but afterwards, he refused to eat, which made me very worried."

  "Madam Wei, don't worry. The Duke is the only uncle of the current Emperor. As long as we inform the Emperor to send the best imperial physician, I'm afraid he will recover soon." said Lv Shi with a smile on her face.

  But I was filled with doubts, and suddenly realized that the familiar-looking woman earlier was dressed in the same attire as the woman who gave me a package of silver on the street that day. Thinking this way, it's likely that the child mentioned by Wei Fu is the very child I saved that day.

  "Is your husband's son a four or five year old child, with a round face and extremely cute?" I asked in doubt.

  "How did you know?" Madame Wei looked at me, and just as I was about to respond, the middle-aged woman who had been silent behind her spoke up: "Madame, this is the young lady who saved the young master's life that day." The woman speaking was the same one who had given me a package of silver that day. It seemed that with my elegant attire today, she almost didn't recognize me.

  Madam Wei listened to her finish speaking, nodded understandingly and said: "It turns out that on that day it was actually the young lady who saved my son, I am truly grateful beyond words."

  Lü looked at us in confusion, I roughly told her what happened, and she finally understood. She couldn't help but admire me with a few glances.

  Madam Wei was even more grateful and said that she would definitely report back to Master Hou and ask him to reward me generously.
