Chapter 47

As Liu Ye'er took on more and more tasks, the questions in Han Yuling's heart grew like a snowball. Liu Ye'er's performance was simply too extraordinary, bearing no resemblance to an eight-year-old child at all. Her actions and insight not only surpassed her peers, but in some aspects, she even outperformed Liu Cunxiu and Wang Danlu. Her speed in learning to read and write was astonishing—she practically had a photographic memory. When it came to bookkeeping, she could calculate with extreme accuracy without needing any instruction. Furthermore, she had mastered the production technique for colored glass. Looking back now, Han Yuling remembered that her very first impression of Liu Ye'er was when the girl addressed her as adoptive mother on her very first day at the Liu Family. Was this really unintentional? After all, Liu Ye'er was merely an eight-year-old child who had never studied or left the house; how could she possibly see through her background? Unable to hold back, Han Yuling asked, "Ye'er, I've always had a question. You're too smart, and the principles you explained to Wang Xiaoyan are not something a child can understand. How do you know how to brew wine? Is movable-type printing really something you invented yourself?"
