The Chief Minister’s Little Lucky Charm

The He family is choosing maids, and they take to Zhizhi at first sight. She hears from others that the young master has a terrible temper and has already driven away countless maids. But the first time Zhizhi sees the handsome He Yan'an sitting in his wheelchair, she silently resolves to treat him well. So, dark circles under her eyes, she busies herself day and night on his behalf. No matter how fiercely he snaps and yells at her, Zhizhi still pleads tearfully, twisting her handkerchief in her hands: “Young Master, please don't send me away.” He Yan'an's heart softens at once. He had thought he would spend his whole life as a cripple, but Zhizhi refuses to believe it. She studies old books, researches ancient records, consults doctors, and promises him with absolute confidence: “Young Master, your legs will definitely get better.” Later, he earns top honors in all six imperial examinations. Even the emperor hears of his reputation and summons him to court. The emperor is more and more pleased with him, and indirectly asks whether he is married or has a woman in mind. Zhizhi is beside him, focused on picking bones out of his fish, when he suddenly points at her. She jumps in fright, and hears him say, “Yes. Her.” The emperor looks at Zhizhi, and the more he looks, the more alarmed he becomes. This... why does this girl's face look so much like his aunt, who lost her daughter as a child and spends every day in tears?
