When they arrived at the village entrance, the sun had already set, and the afterglow of the setting sun stretched the shadows of the three people very long.

There were wisps of smoke rising from the chimneys of many houses in the village. Li Erlang carried Guo Qingran all the way home, but he didn't meet a single villager strolling around.

Zhao, who opened the door, asked in surprise, "What happened?"

Li Yuer, who was following behind, said, "My third uncle's brother seems to have caught a cold."

Colds are contagious, so Zhao didn't dare get close. After all, Brother Yi was just fine, and he couldn't let the illness get to him. "I'll go make a bowl of medicine. The cold medicine we had at home hasn't been used up yet. It's just right. It will go bad if we don't use it."

"Thank you, aunt. You are the best aunt in the world." Li Yuer smiled coquettishly at Zhao.

Zhao's heart softened and she said, "Silly child, your aunt is half your mother, we are family, why are you being so polite? It's cold, stay indoors.

I'll make you a bowl of fried cakes later. It's just for you. Don't tell anyone else."

Now, Cai Junyi is in much better health, he no longer coughs, and the injury on his right hand is slowly recovering.

Zhao was grateful from the bottom of her heart to her cousin Li Yuer, who accidentally reminded her that there was something wrong with the medicine. Yu Baoer was the lucky star of Brother Yi and also the lucky star of their Cai family.

Without Li Yuer's reminder, the Zhao family would probably have been destroyed soon.

Li Erlang whispered to Li Yuer, "Where should we put them? It's not appropriate for them to live with Uncle San and his family, right?"

"Of course not. Put him in my room first. While no one is watching, quickly carry him inside. We can talk later."

"What if Sister Mei sees this?"

Li Yuer glanced towards the west wing and said, "It's okay, Sister Mei'er is in grandma's room."

Li Erlang carried Guo Qingran on his back, looked around, and went into the east outer room like a thief, but he made sure no one saw him carrying a woman home.

Li Yuer walked in and took a special look towards the east wing. She vaguely saw someone looking towards her from the window. She closed the door and completely blocked the other person's sight.

Guo Qingran was put on a chair by Li Erlang. Li Erlang was about to leave but was stopped by Li Yuer.

"Brother, go to your aunt's place and get some strong liquor and a basin of hot water."

"Yu Baoer, I find that you are getting better and better at ordering your brother around." Li Erlang went out helplessly.

Guo Qingran said gratefully: "Thank you, Yu Baoer, if it weren't for you, I'm afraid I wouldn't be alive today."

"Sister, you don't have to be polite. What should I call you?" Li Yu'er threw the tattered cotton jacket that Guo Qingran took off into the corner. "Oh, it stinks. A stinky person wearing stinky clothes and doing stinky things."

"Puchi!" Guo Qingran was amused by Li Yuer's rhyming and weird words, and his sad and nervous mood finally improved a little.

"My name is Guo Qingran."

Li Yuer talked to her while changing clothes, "Sister Qingran, what are you going to do in the future?"

Guo Qingran knew that hiding here all the time was not a good idea, besides, she still had things to do, and she didn't know how serious his injury was.

"Yu Baoer, I want to ask you about someone."

"Cai Junyi?" Li Yuer said calmly.

Guo Qingran was shocked and asked, "How did you know?"

Li Yuer smiled innocently and said, "Yu Baoer didn't eavesdrop on me on purpose. We were just passing by the entrance of Nongchao Tower and overheard you and the woman in red talking about my cousin."

"Your cousin? Cai Junyi is your cousin?" Guo Qingran was even more surprised, but a warmth arose in his heart, as well as some indescribable throbbing.

Could this be considered her and Jingxing's fate? After many twists and turns, she was finally saved by his cousin.

Li Yuer nodded, "It was because we heard you talking about my cousin that we followed the carriage."

Li Yuer stepped forward and held her hand, saying, "Sister Qingran, don't get along with that woman in red anymore, she's not a good person.

Let me tell you, one time, my brother and I went to Linglongfang, and we saw her and today’s Wu Yanei buying jewelry inside.

They also talked about my cousin, but their voices were so low that we couldn't hear clearly what they said.

This time, fortunately my brother was smart and brave and figured out a way to save you."

Li Yuer pushed the credit onto her brother. No matter whether Guo Qingran believed it or not, others would definitely believe that it was her brother who was smart and brave. Anyway, a smart woman like Guo Qingran would not say it out loud.

Thinking of Zheng Rongrong, Guo Qingran's eyes became cold. She knew that the Zheng family were not good people, but she did not expect them to be so bad. She made a note of this matter and would slowly settle the score with the Zheng family later.

How could I forget the good things the Zheng family has done.

Guo Qingran retracted his cold gaze and said, "Yu Baoer, can I ask you for a favor? I want to meet your cousin. Where is his home?"

She also knew that it was wrong for men and women to meet privately, but she had something urgent to tell him, and it would be too late if she delayed any further.

Li Yuer thought for a moment and said, "Actually, this is my cousin's house. We are here to visit relatives. My cousin lives next door to you."

"What did you say?" Guo Qingran was surprised and happy, and was very excited for a moment.

Li Yuer took out the piece of paper with the poem written on it from her pocket and said, "I found it behind the carriage. I don't know what's written on it. Sister Qingran can read, so I'll give it to you.

As he spoke, Li Yu'er pursed his lips, a look of sadness appeared in his eyes, and he said, "My poor cousin was injured and hasn't been out for a long time."

Guo Qingran grabbed Li Yuer's hand and asked, "Jingxing, is he okay?"

Li Yuer shook her head, then nodded and said, "It's good and it's not good. The good thing is that his hand has slowly started to get better, but the bad thing is that he has been depressed all the time and refuses to tell his family when something happens. No one knows why he is sad."

"Oh." Guo Qingran sighed softly and said to himself: It's all because of me. It's me who implicated him.

"Knock knock!" There was a knock on the door, and Li Yuer knew that it was Li Erlang who came to deliver something.

Li Erlang stood at the door and didn't go in, but just handed the things in.

Li Yuer asked Guo Qingran to soak his feet in hot water and then massage the red and swollen areas of his feet with strong liquor.

She went out and went to the east room through another door. She didn't know what her cousin meant. She couldn't interfere too much in other people's emotional problems. She would help if she could, and if she couldn't, let them solve it themselves.

Guo Qingran wanted to see his cousin, but he didn't know what his cousin meant.

Li Yuer knocked on Cai Junyi's door.

"Come in."

It was still a light tone, but Li Yuer felt that the owner of the voice was obviously more lively than last time.

"Cousin, it's me."

"Yu Baoer, you're here, but you can't find the toilet again." The young man looked over with calm and clear eyes.

Li Yuer cursed in her heart: He holds a grudge, but he knows how to tease her. It seems he has come out of his decadence, that's good.

"Cousin, are you okay?" Li Yuer asked for the sake of conversation.

Cai Junyi smiled calmly, nodded and said, "Thank you for your concern, cousin. I feel much better these days."

"Cousin, guess where I went today?" Li Yuer's face showed the playful cunning of a child.

Cai Junyi thought for a moment and said, "The town."

Li Yuer showed a surprised expression, "How did my cousin know?"

"I heard it from the kids in the yard this morning."

It turns out that he got up early in the morning. He must have heard Nao Nao and the others talking in the yard.

Li Yuer's eyes showed a hint of calculation, and he said, "Then cousin, guess what interesting things I encountered in the town?"

Cai Junyi shook his head, "My cousin can't predict the future."

Seeing that he couldn't guess, Li Yu'er said happily, "We went to a big restaurant and saw a pretty young lady in a big carriage. There was an ugly woman next to her. The ugly woman called the young lady Guo Qingran."

"Snapped!"

Cai Junyi was startled and the brush in his hand fell to the ground. He bent down to pick it up in panic.

Li Yuer understood that the two were in love with each other, so she could help them meet.
