The coat doesn't fit me very well. The waist is a bit tight and the hem is a bit short. But overall, it's still wearable.

When he walked out of the room wearing this cotton coat, his left eye almost popped out.

Although His Highness was not addicted to pleasure, he was still very particular about food, clothing and daily expenses from childhood to adulthood. During his time at the Lu family, the Lu family also bought him a lot of clothes. Although they were not as good as those in the capital, they were still suitable.

How can it look like the one you're wearing?

"Mr. Xiao, this dress..."

He was just thinking about how to express his opinion in a tactful way, but unexpectedly, Ye Feng asked him directly: "How is it? Not bad, right? Ke'er made it herself."

Zuo Yi immediately swallowed the rest of his words, and changed the subject, praising her repeatedly: "Miss Lu is very clever and skillful, this dress... is impeccable."

Even from a few steps away, you can see that the clothes have rough stitching, poor tailoring, and are even a bit asymmetrical in some places.

The corners of Ji's mouth twitched.

Her daughter's needlework is now a big worry for her as a mother. It's strange, Ke'er's needlework was not so bad before. Since the injury, her needlework level has plummeted.

"Madam, where is Ke'er?" Ye Feng looked around.

"She? She was called away by the people from Xuanhu Pavilion in the town early in the morning. They said there were some seriously ill patients who needed Ke'er to treat them." Ji sighed, "A girl who runs away all day, how can she find a husband in the future?"

Ji knew that Lu Ke'er was the second in command of Xuanhu Pavilion. She was happy that her daughter was capable, but she was also worried that she was too capable.

Ye Feng paused when he heard this.

Zuo glanced at Ye Feng's expression and said carefully, "Young lady is kind-hearted, smart and capable, and she is a candidate for daughter-in-law for many families. In the future, people who come to propose marriage will definitely knock down Madam's door. By then, I'm afraid Madam will be overwhelmed by the choices."

Ji smiled helplessly: "I don't ask for anything, I just hope that the other party will treat Ke'er well. A wealthy family? Forget it! We are a small family, we can't afford it."

"What if a young man from a wealthy family falls in love with the young lady?" Qiu Shui asked.

It was Qiuyu who accompanied Lu Keer to the town today. She stayed at home and made snacks according to the method Lu Keer taught her.

Ever since Lu Ke'er discovered her talent for cooking, she often taught her how to make dishes and snacks.

Ji shook her head and said seriously, "There are many rules in the rich families, and Ke'er is not used to them. Besides, which of those rich and noble sons doesn't have three wives and four concubines? If such a son really takes a fancy to Ke'er, with our family's status, Ke'er can only be a concubine. Ke'er is the precious daughter of my Lu family, and she must not be a concubine to others!"

Ji was clear-headed.

Zuo Yi glanced quietly at the night breeze.

Sure enough, I saw that the joy on his face just now had disappeared.

Zuo Yi sighed secretly in his heart.

If His Highness really likes Miss Lu, Miss Lu will at most be a concubine. Based on his understanding of the Lu family during this period, the Lu family will surely not agree.

…………

As soon as the carriage entered the town, Lu Ke'er found that the atmosphere in the streets and alleys was very unusual.

Pedestrians can be seen chatting in groups of two or three on the roadside. There are many more people in restaurants and teahouses than in the past, and many people are talking loudly. When she passed by Pinxianlou, she saw many diners talking loudly while eating, some even clapped their hands on the table excitedly, and some even cried and laughed loudly.

"Qiuyu, go find out what happened?"

Soon, the autumn rain came back.

"Miss, something big has happened. The Jia Mansion has been raided!" Qiuyu couldn't hide her excitement. "The whole county is in an uproar. Everyone is rushing around to tell the news, and many families are setting off firecrackers."

Lu Ke'er listened carefully and indeed heard the sound of firecrackers coming from far and near.

"Why was it copied?" Lu Ke'er asked curiously.

Although she was not a direct victim of the evil deeds of the Jia family, her several contacts with the Jia family made her extremely disgusted and resentful of them.

"The Jia family usually relies on the power of the Zhenguo Mansion to bully the people in the county, but I didn't expect them to be so bold as to resell people and illegally mine iron ore!"

After Zhu Rong woke up, Lu Ke'er knew that Ye Feng had sent someone to report to the authorities. Lord Fang was investigating the Jia Mansion these days, but he did not expect the speed to be so fast. The Jia Mansion had already been raided.

"Human trafficking?" Lu Ke'er recalled the case of missing refugees that happened some time ago.

"Miss, you don't know how cruel the Jia family is. They lured many refugees to remote places in the name of recruiting workers, and then kidnapped and transported them to other places. The government followed the clues and found that the Jia family transported these people to a large mine and forced those poor refugees and beggars to dig for minerals. Many refugees died of exhaustion, and even their bodies could not be found. Later, it was said that a refugee escaped at the risk of his life, and then made this secret public." At this point, Qiuyu couldn't help sighing, "Miss, you will never guess where the iron mine is."

"where?"

"It's in Luzhou. I heard it's a place called Moshi Village in Qingshan County."

"Moshi Village?" Why does this name sound familiar?

"Miss, have you forgotten? The daughter of Auntie Pang whom you saved, Ah Zhen, her husband's family lives in Moshi Village. But... why do I always feel that this name is very familiar?"

Qiuyu couldn't figure it out.

"I guess you've heard people in the village talking about Ah Zhen." Lu Ke'er didn't think much about it and asked, "How is Ah Zhen now?"

During this period, she mostly stayed in the county town and town during the day and spent little time in the village. She was not aware of many things happening in the village.

"Miss, your medicine is really effective. Ah Zhen's injury has healed 80% of the time. However, she is still very weak. I heard that she didn't talk much after she woke up. She locked herself in her room all day and stared blankly. Her parents were worried." Qiu Yu sighed, "I heard that no one from the Lin family has come to see her until now. Oh, she is so pitiful."

When Lu Ke'er thought of the skinny, shriveled little woman covered in wounds, she felt a tightness in her chest.

"Let's go see her tomorrow."

"Okay." Qiuyu's eyes lit up, "Miss, with you here, Ah Zhen will definitely return to normal."

"You seem to have a lot of confidence in me." Lu Ke'er glanced at her.

"Miss is a miracle doctor." Qiu Yu had a mysterious confidence in Lu Ke'er.

The two were surprised when they arrived at Xuanhu Pavilion.

The halls and rooms were packed with people.

There were wounded and sick people everywhere.

Judging from their ragged clothes, most of them are refugees.

Gao Yutang came out sweating profusely and said, "Master, I've been waiting for you."

At this moment, Gao Yutang was dishevelled except for his neat clothes. People who didn't know the situation might have thought he was also a refugee.

"How many nights have you not slept?" Lu Ke'er asked him.

Gao Yutang wiped his face and said, "Two nights."

"What's going on?" Inexplicably, Lu Ke'er thought of Ye Feng who had not returned for two nights.

"Have you heard about what happened in the Jia Mansion?"

Lu Keer nodded.

Gao Yutang pointed at the injured people in the room and said, "Most of these people are poor people rescued from the iron mine. Oh, how miserable they are."
