Before Lu Ke'er left Hu Ya's house, she carefully examined Zhu Rong, gave her a few injections, wrote out a prescription, and asked Hu Ya to get the medicine and take it according to the prescription.

So when she was ready to pay for the carriage, Huya said he would not take any money from her.

"Girl, I can't charge you for this carriage." Huya said, "Just consider it as payment for your medical treatment of my sister."

"I have just started treating your sister, and the outcome is still unknown." Lu Ke'er was actually 70% sure that she could cure Zhu Rong, but she wanted to test Hu Ya's reaction, so she spoke very conservatively.

Tiger Fang did not disappoint her.

He looked ashamed and said, "No matter what the result is, your kindness is very precious. I, Huya, am not an ungrateful person. No matter what, you are being dragged down by my family today. If you need any help in the future, just ask."

Lu Ke'er nodded and said, "After you finish taking the medicine, you can bring your sister to Lingxia Village to see me. My name is Lu Ke'er. I can give your sister a follow-up visit."

Huya thanked him happily.

Then he spent some time putting the carriage on the horse's torso and made some appropriate adjustments based on the horse's actual height to make it easier and more stable for the horse to pull the carriage.

Unable to refuse the hospitality, the two of them took Xiao Xi to have a simple lunch at Zhu's house. When they drove the carriage to bid farewell to Zhu's house, it was already afternoon.

"I never thought that you could drive a carriage." Lu Ke'er smiled at Ye Feng who was sitting in the "driver's seat".

He had black hair and a light fur coat in the night breeze. He held the reins in one hand and the whip in the other. His posture was elegant and his manners were calm. Lu Ke'er actually had the illusion that he was riding a dragon instead of a horse.

Then look at Xiao Mei, who was pulling the cart. When the bridle was put on at first, she resisted in every possible way and shook her head reluctantly. But now when Ye Feng pulled the reins, she behaved like a docile puppy, which made Lu Keer marvel.

"I never thought you had this ability. Even Xiaomei was completely obedient to you." Lu Ke'er hugged Xiaoxi and laughed. "I was worried about how to pull the carriage back at first, but now it's all right. From now on, you can be a full-time driver."

"driver?"

"Uh... it's the stable boy. Hahaha!"

Ye Feng's face froze.

Looking back at Lu Ke'er laughing so hard that she was shaking with laughter, a hint of doting smile flashed in his eyes.

If she is the one being picked up, what's wrong with just being a full-time driver?

There were many people walking on the street, and the carriage was moving slowly. Lu Ke'er took this opportunity to take a look at the street scene and local customs.

When the carriage arrived near the county government office, it stopped because a group of people were blocking the way ahead and were talking about something.

Lu Ke'er carried Xiao Xi out of the carriage and randomly stopped a passerby to ask him what had happened.

The passerby said, "Miss, you don't know, something terrible has happened! Half an hour ago, several people had their eyes gouged out, their tongues cut off, and were left in front of the county government office in a bloody mess."

"Ah!" Lu Ke'er screamed and quickly covered Xiaoxi's ears.

"Xiao Xi, don't be afraid."

He turned his head and asked the passerby: "Who is so miserable? Do you know?"

The passerby looked around and answered in a low voice, "Miss, I heard they are from the Jia Mansion. One of them is a trusted attendant of Mr. Jia, and his name seems to be Jia Lu."

Lu Ke'er's heart skipped a beat.

I heard the passerby sigh: "I heard that Jialu was the worst of them. Not only were his eyes dug out and his tongue pulled out, but his legs and hands were also chopped off. It's really miserable, but... everyone is saying that they did too many bad things and they got their retribution."

Passersby walked away sighing and shaking their heads.

Lu Ke'er clearly saw the suppressed smile at the corners of this man's lips and eyebrows.

She carried Lu Mingxi back into the carriage, and when she sat down, she glanced at Ye Feng, who had remained calm from beginning to end.

"Xiao Xiao, do you think there are such coincidences in the world? They just left Huya's house and they were beaten up. Do you think the one who beat them up was..."

She paused and saw Ye Feng raised his eyes and glanced at her with a hint of doubt.

"Who do you think did it?" Ye Feng asked her.

She lowered her voice and answered, "Do you think it could be the hero who helped us secretly?"

"Well...it's possible. But why would he do this?" Ye Feng's eyes flashed and he asked in a calm voice.

"Yeah, why?" Lu Ke'er murmured, "Could it be that those people were the heroes' enemies, and he had been targeting them for a long time? Did he help us just by chance? Well, I think it's possible. Jialu and his men usually do all kinds of bad things, so they must have many enemies."

"Well, your analysis makes sense." Ye Feng's lips curled slightly, hiding the smile in his eyes, "It is indeed the law of nature that will bring retribution."

"However, Lord Fang is probably going to have a headache." Lu Ke'er sighed.

"You seem very worried about him?" Ye Feng's eyes darkened.

"Master Fang is a good person." Lu Ke'er said, "I heard that he had a better future in the capital, but he insisted on going to the grassroots to train himself and came to this remote place to be a small county magistrate. He is a good official who really wants to do something practical for the people. After what happened, plus Lin Yunmu was caned this morning, I'm afraid the Jia family will not let it go and will continue to put pressure on him."

"No matter how powerful the Jia family is, they are just a servant of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, while he is an official appointed by the court. What is there to be afraid of? If Fang Xingzheng is smart, he will classify this case as a vendetta. As for who the enemy is? Humph, isn't it up to him to decide?" Ye Feng didn't care.

Lu Ke'er was stunned.

"Still... can it still be operated this way?"

As a modern person who has been deeply influenced by law since childhood, Lu Keer found that her thinking was still too limited.

"There are indeed truths in this world, but not every truth can be revealed to the public." Ye Feng said calmly, "Sometimes, revealing the truth to the world is not necessarily a good thing. Sometimes, hiding the truth is not necessarily a bad thing."

Lu Ke'er seemed to be thinking about something.

She turned her head to look at Ye Feng.

The boy's face was so young, but his eyes were deep, his expression was indifferent, and he exuded a deep aura that made it impossible to see through him.

The horse carriage was much faster than the ox cart. Lu Ke'er and the other two returned to Lingxia Village before sunset.

The news that the Lu family had bought a new carriage spread throughout the village as if it had wings.

In the countryside, it was rare for a family to have an ox cart, let alone a horse carriage? People who could afford a horse carriage were rare, not to mention in Jinji Town, even in Xilin County.

In the next few days, there were always a few villagers who came to the Lu family with their children to see the newly bought carriage. They gathered around the carriage and talked and admired it, expressing their curiosity, excitement, envy or jealousy.

The night wind was a little annoyed.

They could just look at the carriage, why did they have to go into the room to see him?
