Shu Han helplessly said, “Ever since you mentioned visiting our Shu family to see Tong’er, she has been eagerly waiting for you. Little did we know you encountered some trouble and couldn’t come. She was quite disappointed. In order to cheer her up, Jun’er told her a lot about you.”

Shu Yutong quickly chimed in, “Yes, yes! Brother Jun is really strange! He clearly likes you, Master, but always wears a stern expression, as if he feels nothing at all!”

“I see,” Liu Shimei chuckled in realization, then turned to Shu Han, “Doctor Shu, let’s complete the formalities of accepting her as my disciple first and then leave her here.”

Understanding her intention, Shu Han immediately bowed deeply, expressing his gratitude, “Thank you very much, Eldest Miss Liu!”

Although the Shu family had a good reputation, one couldn’t ignore the selfish side of human nature. There was no way Shu Yutong’s life with her uncle and aunt could compare to being with Liu Shimei.

Liu Shimei was kind-hearted, and her willingness to accept this disciple was undoubtedly the greatest blessing in Shu Yutong’s life.

“Tong’er, let’s perform the formal ceremony first, and later I will take you to meet Big Brother,” Liu Shimei said, pausing for a moment. Then she suddenly remembered that the dog wasn’t her son but her fiance. How could her disciple address him as her brother?

This was a problem of seniority!

So, she changed her wording, “Oh, it’s better not to call him ‘Brother.’ Just call him ‘Prince’.”

“Oh.” It was difficult for the little girl to resist someone as beautiful and gentle as Liu Shimei, especially when they had just met, and she was being held in her arms!

Her eyes were practically glued to Liu Shimei’s face, afraid that Liu Shimei might become displeased with her.

Liu Shimei could sense her restraint and nervousness; this was a common psychological issue among orphans. That’s why she decided to be patient and guide her slowly later on.

Meanwhile, Mo’er and Lian Qiao had prepared tea.

Shu Han asked Shu Yutong to formally kneel in front of Liu Shimei and said, “Presenting Shu’s daughter, Yutong, aged six, willing to apprentice under Eldest Young Miss Liu Shimei. I earnestly request Eldest Young Miss Liu to accept her.”

After repeating Shu Han’s words, Shu Yutong knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times. Then, she received the teacup handed to her by Mo’er, held it with both hands above her head, and said, “Master, please have tea!”

Liu Shimei couldn’t bear to see the little child kneel for too long and quickly accepted the teacup, taking a symbolic sip.

“After drinking your tea, I am your master. From now on, I will teach you and protect you to the best of my abilities. I don’t ask you to bring glory to your ancestors, only for you to be safe and happy.”

Liu Shimei placed the teacup on the table, then took the red packet from the tray brought by Mo’er and said, “Here, this is the red packet from Master. I hope Yutong will have peace, prosperity, and good luck from now on! Please rise.”

Shu Han was deeply moved!

To Shu Jun, she said ‘I don’t ask for glory to the ancestors’, but the following phrase was not ‘safety and happiness’, but ‘to face the heavens and the earth with a clear conscience’.

It could be seen that her expectations for boys and girls were different.

For girls, safety and happiness were enough!

Shu Yutong excitedly accepted, “Thank you, Master.”

She stood up joyfully, and Mo’er was afraid she might fall and quickly put down the tray to support her.

It was evident that Mo’er also liked this little girl.

Liu Shimei picked up a sachet from the tray and said, “This sachet is filled with insect repellent and antidote herbs, worn on your body from now on. Change the ingredients inside every three months for me.”

“Thank you, Master!” Shu Yutong was overjoyed, her happiness overwhelming.

It was hard to believe that such an innocent little girl could be a medicinal genius.

Mo’er couldn’t help but test her, “Miss Yutong, do you want to smell the herbs inside the sachet?”

Everyone wanted to see the talents of a genius child!
