Zhao Nuanyue said humbly, "Let's not say any more. It was all destiny. It was my fate to meet Master! Even though I helped him in the past, he taught me medicine and took me as his disciple. So please, Madam, don't thank me anymore. I don't deserve it."
Madam Sun took Zhao Nuanyue's hand. "Haha, since we're family now, let's skip the formalities. This is a little something for our first meeting!"
With that, Madam Sun opened a nearby drawer, took out a pair of white jade bracelets, and placed them in Zhao Nuanyue's hands. "These things look lovely on you young ladies. You can't wear them just yet, though. Wait until times are better, then you can put them on."
"'It would be rude to refuse a gift from an elder.' Thank you, Madam." Zhao Nuanyue accepted it. 'When things relax a bit, I'll take something out of my own treasures to repay Madam Sun.'
