Inexplicably, she had an idea and hurriedly dismissed the servants around her. She rushed downstairs alone and squeezed into the crowd.

She watched from afar Wan Muqing, who was about to be escorted out of the city, with mixed feelings.

At this time, people around were also discussing this person's crimes.

Some people said that he raped a woman, some said that he offended the emperor, and some said that he ended up like this because he offended the Hai family.

Wei Chuchu was mixed in the crowd, and as he listened to these words, he felt increasingly heavy-hearted.

She stared at Wan Muqing in the wooden cage quietly, and saw that he had a dull expression and empty eyes, as if he had lost his soul. His body was covered with scars of varying sizes, some of which were still oozing blood, which looked shocking.

For a moment, Wei Chuchu found that he did not feel the exhilaration he had expected.

She originally thought that seeing Wan Muqing being punished would make her feel relieved and satisfied, but at this moment, she only felt confused inside.

She carefully followed the escorting officers and soldiers out of the city gate, and was nervous all the way, fearing that she would be discovered.

Finally, they arrived at a remote teahouse outside the city, where the officers and soldiers stopped to rest. She hid in the dark and observed for a while, then gritted her teeth and decided to take a risk.

She quietly walked up to the officer and soldier leader, and with trembling hands, she stuffed all the banknotes and small change she had on her into his hands. The officer and soldier leader was blinded by the money and immediately agreed to let her talk to Wan Muqing for a few words, but not for too long.

She nodded gratefully and hurried to the wooden cage. When she got closer, she found that Wan Muqing's lower limbs were twisted at a strange angle, as if he had lost the ability to support his body. The twisted knees were already red, swollen, and festering, with pus and blood oozing out, emitting a disgusting smell.

She couldn't help but scream, but immediately covered her mouth.

Hearing the familiar exclamation, Wan Muqing, who had been stunned, slowly raised his head, and his originally lifeless eyes gradually regained a little light.

When he saw the person in front of him clearly, his dead eyes actually showed a ripple, and the corners of his mouth lifted slightly, revealing a difficult smile.

Wei Chuchu looked at Wan Muqing's lifeless appearance, and couldn't help but feel a little bit of pity in her heart, and asked softly: "Do you... hate me?"

Wan Muqing hesitated for a moment, then slowly shook his head and said in a low voice, "I was the one who wronged you first, how could I blame you? If you did this and dragged the Wan family into trouble, it would make your life better in Hai Mansion, how could I not understand?"

Hearing this, Wei Chuchu felt even more guilty, and couldn't help but say, "But... I caused your family to be destroyed!"

Wan Muqing raised his head, looking at Wei Chuchu calmly and silently, and said in a flat tone: "These days... I have figured out a lot of things. Everything that happened is my fault. I was too young and irresponsible, so I will not evade responsibility. Now that things have come to this, there is nothing I can do. Let me take responsibility for all this, let me forgive my sins, and I will not have any complaints."

At this point, Wan Muqing paused, as if he remembered something, and a hint of complex emotions flashed across his eyes, but he quickly concealed it and continued:

"It's just that you are in your prime, and it's such a pity for you to be a concubine to that old man and not be able to have your own children."

Wei Chuchu was originally immersed in sympathy for Wan Muqing, but when she heard what he said, she became so angry that her face turned pale and she angrily said, "At this point... why are you still humiliating me with these things!"

However, at this moment, Wan Muqing suddenly looked at Wei Chuchu seriously and said, "Actually, I know a miracle doctor who may be able to cure your illness. As long as you go to him, you may be able to successfully conceive a child. By then, you will have someone to rely on, and you don't have to be isolated and helpless like you are now."

Wei Chuchu was stunned and said incredulously: "Why are you saying this now?"

Wan Muqing looked at her deeply, then mentioned a place name and a person's name, and then said: "Go there and find that person, and let him help you. I hope you can give birth soon... This is the last thing I can do for you."

Wei Chuchu was overwhelmed with thoughts for a moment and was speechless.

At this time, the leader of the officers and soldiers tightened his belt and came over to urge: "Hurry up! Don't waste time!"

Wei Chuchu glanced at Wan Muqing, and suddenly took off all the valuable jewelry on her body, stuffed them into the hands of the officer and soldier leader, and said: "Sir, these are all for you. My friend is young and ignorant, I hope you can take good care of him on the road, at least give him something to eat and something to drink..."

The leader's eyes lit up, he quickly put the thing in his arms, responded perfunctorily, and urged everyone to continue on their way.

Wei Chuchu stood there, watching them walk away, her heart full of worry. However, she did not dare to reveal her identity, so she could only watch Wan Muqing leave.

After the team had gone far away, Wei Chuchu sneaked back to the city.

Just as she reached the alley entrance and was about to return to Hai Mansion, she suddenly remembered the miracle doctor that Wan Muqing had mentioned before.

She stopped, hesitated for a moment, then turned and walked into a pharmacy.

The drugstore was filled with a strong aroma of herbs, and the shopkeeper greeted customers warmly.

Wei Chuchu walked forward and explained his purpose. After a while, the shopkeeper came in from the backyard with a white-bearded old man.

The old man was in good spirits and walked steadily. When he saw Wei Chuchu, he narrowed his eyes slightly and looked him over.

Wei Chuchu widened her eyes and shouted in surprise: "Divine Doctor Ji?"

Wei Chuchu was full of doubts after getting the injection, but she had seen how powerful the old man next to Jiang Xingkuo was before, so even though she was confused this time, she still cooperated and let the other party give her an injection.

By the time she returned to Hai Mansion, night had already fallen.

But what’s strange is that the atmosphere in Hai Mansion today is particularly weird, even a little scary.

When the maids saw her, they didn't even dare to say hello. They just lowered their heads and hurried past.

Wei Chuchu returned to her own courtyard, Qianxing Pavilion, full of doubts. As soon as she reached the door, she saw Hai Wuya sitting inside. His face was frighteningly gloomy, and his pair of red and turbid eyes stared at her without saying a word.

Wei Chuchu's heart skipped a beat, and she subconsciously moved forward and wanted to act coquettishly. However, at this moment, she suddenly found some things on the table. Upon closer inspection, they turned out to be some jewelry, and there was blood on them!

Isn’t this the jewelry she just gave to the chief of officers and soldiers today!

Wei Chuchu's heart suddenly sank, and a bad premonition came to his mind...
