With one hand she heals, and the other hand she kills, the princess vows to rule the world!

Zhang Zhirou got the news from somewhere that it would snow that day, and it really did!

Large snowballs, as big as goose feathers, quickly fell to the ground. Before they could melt, another snowball fell, and soon, the surrounding scenery was covered in silver. Although Yuancheng was not particularly prosperous, there were still many people selling things on the streets. Even in the snow, some people still insisted on selling things on the streets, making it very lively.

It was not until they left the city that Shu He felt that the surroundings had become quiet.

Inside the carriage, the icy air assaulted everyone. Zhang Zhili and Zhang Zhirou sat on one side, facing the frail Shu He. They noticed that the backs of Shu He's hands were covered in chilblains, red and swollen, with pus oozing from some areas. Zhang Zhirou was filled with questions, but didn't know where to begin.

Seeing her tightly wrapping the "package" in her arms, Zhang Zhirou patted her forehead lightly, a look of annoyance rising on her face, "Look at my brain, I actually forgot about this!"

Zhang Zhirou took off her fox fur cloak and draped it in front of Shu He, just enough to wrap up Xiao Yi'er. Shu He touched the cloak, which was very thick and warm, and a warm feeling rose in her heart.

"Thank you, Miss Zhang."

Seeing this, Zhang Zhili took off his cloak and handed it to her. He didn't know that there was a child wrapped in the package in front of Shu He. He just said, "Madam He, you are wearing too thin. I will give you this one too. It's very cold today. You can't just cover your front, you have to cover your back too!"

After getting in the car, Zhang Zhirou asked Shu He's name. She didn't tell the truth and only said her surname was He.

After Shu He dealt with Mrs. Chen's family, she simply washed her face when she emerged. She didn't even have time to clean the bloodstains in her hair, so she simply wrapped a headscarf around it to hide the color. If it weren't for her still somewhat pretty face, she would have been mistaken for an old woman fleeing from the disaster.

After leaving the city, they did not notice any movement at the city gate outside the car.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way!!!"

Qin Yian's voice rang out loudly, and then a group of constables arrived at the city gate.

The young officer guarding the city gate saw the huge scene and asked hurriedly, "Captain Qin, what's the matter? Why are you so anxious?"

"Have you seen the carriage from General Zhang's mansion leave?" Qin Yian asked quickly.

The young general guarding the city thought for a moment and said, "There are a few carriages leaving the city, but none from the General's Mansion. What happened?"

Qin Yian had a puzzled look on his face, and then he said to the people behind him: "Let's go to the General's Mansion!"

The group of detectives behind looked at each other, somewhat at a loss.

"Captain Qin, this, this isn't good, is it?" A constable beside Qin Yi'an whispered in his ear, "That's the general's mansion after all. If we go there like this, won't it be a bit too noisy?"

"Yes, that's the general's mansion! We're going there in such a grand manner that if someone didn't know, they'd think we were raiding the house!"

Someone in the crowd murmured this.

Qin Yian thought for a moment and said, "The rest of us are waiting outside the General's Mansion. Shen San, you come with me."

Shen San nodded, fortunately their leader listened to his advice.

Eastern suburbs.

Zhang Zhirou led Shu He into a courtyard with two entrances. The entrance opened onto a large courtyard, flanked by flowers and plants, a small garden. However, it was now lifeless, with only dead branches remaining. The courtyard was large and well-furnished, but it looked as if no one had cared for it in a long time, a desolate scene. Fortunately, the snow covered the courtyard, its glistening snowflakes adding a touch of elegance.

After passing the front hall, Zhang Zhirou led Shu He to the master bedroom in the second courtyard. The master bedroom was large, and Xiaoduo had already turned on the floor heating, so the temperature inside the room was much higher than outside.

"No one has been in this house for a long time. You can just stay here for one night. I'll bring someone to clean it up tomorrow and buy you some new living utensils."

Fortunately, even though the farm is vacant, someone comes to clean it regularly, so the house is relatively clean and tidy.

Shu He didn't say much, but quickly untied Xiao Yi'er and put her on the bed. The temperature in the room had risen, and Shu He opened Xiao Yi'er's clothes, disinfected them by candlelight, and gave her acupuncture again.

Zhang Zhirou and Zhang Zhili were so shocked when they saw the skinny little kid that they were speechless for a long time.

"Why is this little sister so skinny?"

Zhang Zhili thought that his body was already very poor and thin, but compared with the little kid in front of him, he still had at least a few pounds of meat. But, this kid was so thin that he was just skin and bones!

"Madam He, what's going on?"

This was the first time Zhang Zhirou had seen such a miserable baby. Even if he was a poor peasant boy, no matter how little he was valued, he wouldn't be so skinny! !

Moreover, the child seemed not only thin, but also had blue and purple patches on his skin, and there was a large purple and black bruise on his ribs, which looked like it was caused by a beating. It was shocking!

Shu He didn't have time to pay attention to them. After acupuncture, she still had to boil the medicine.

When Xiaoduo, who was beside Zhang Zhili, learned that medicine needed to be boiled, he quickly said, "My wife, I know how to boil medicine. Just tell me how to do it and I'll do it."

"Yes, my lady, most of my medicine is made by Xiaoduo. He is the best at judging the heat. Doctor Xu said that he makes medicine well!"

Soon, an hour passed.

After Xiao Yier drank the medicine, there were already several dishes on the table in the room. They were brought by Xiaoduo from the city and were simply heated up.

Zhang Zhirou's face was heavy, and she still couldn't get over what happened to Shu He and her daughter. Not wanting to make a fool of herself, she held back her tears and said with a sour nose, "Sister He, just stay here peacefully. No matter what you did, it was what you deserved! I won't reveal anything about you to anyone!"

"Xiao Yi'er is seriously injured. There will be heavy snow in the next few days, so you should stay home and take care of Xiao Yi'er! As for food, I will personally deliver it to her. If I can't go out, I will send Xiao Duo. Don't worry, Xiao Duo has been with Ali since he was a child, so he is very strict."

Shu He's face softened slightly. Having just returned to this world, she was wary of everyone. But Zhang Zhirou was a soft-hearted and kind person. It was their good fortune that they had found such a kind person to take her in when Xiao Yier was seriously injured.

"Thank you, Miss Zhang. I will do my best to treat Mr. Zhang's illness."

"Don't worry about me for now!" Zhang Zhili frowned slightly and immediately said, "Let's heal Xiao Yi'er first. Her injuries are quite serious."

Shu He's face darkened, and he said to Zhang Zhirou, "From now on, Master Zhang's meals must be arranged by his trusted associates. Also, don't eat fish or shrimp anymore."

Zhang Zhirou's expression changed slightly. Did she mean that there was something wrong with Ali's food?

"Sister He?"

Shu He didn't say much, "I don't have time to make a specific judgment now. Come back with Master Zhang in a few days."

Zhang Zhirou understood, "I understand, Sister He."

Looking at the sky, Shu He said, "It's getting late, you guys should go back."

It was already nightfall, and Zhang Zhirou knew it was time to go home. If she didn't go back, her family would probably get worried. "Okay, we'll come see you tomorrow."

Zhang Zhili took two steps forward eagerly and said, "I'm coming too!"

After seeing Zhang Zhirou and the others off, Shu He closed the door and saw a large courtyard nearby. Two plain lanterns hung at the entrance, gently swaying in the snow and emitting a soft candlelight. Another gust of cold wind blew, and the lanterns were blown violently against the door beam, making a soft thud.

The person behind the door heard the noise and opened it to check, only to see the door to the adjacent courtyard closed. To the north, two figures seemed to be walking away in the snow, likely villagers from nearby. To the south, a carriage quickly disappeared in the snow.

Why is this eastern suburbs so lively today?

At this moment, there was a rustling sound next door.

There was no sound except for the wind and snow. The old man who closed the door asked curiously, "When did someone appear next door?"

"He just arrived this afternoon. He must be a relative of Zhang Zhiyi's."

A deep, steady voice rang out, startling the person closing the door. "Oh my God! Nanqi, could you please stop appearing silently behind me? My old bones can't stand your scares like that!!"

"Hehe." Nanqi laughed apologetically, "Sorry, Uncle Zhang, I'm used to it."

Uncle Zhang glared at him angrily, "Why are you here if you don't want to protect the young master?"

"My master sent me to tell you that we will be leaving early tomorrow morning. Please ask Uncle Zhang to ask the kitchen to prepare some dry food for us to take with us tomorrow."

"Leaving tomorrow?" Uncle Zhang looked up at the heavy snow, and at Nanqi's body, which was covered with snow not long after he appeared. He said, "I'm afraid the snow will continue to fall for quite some time, and the road may be difficult to travel on."

Nanqi hadn't thought of this, and he looked up at the sky. Just then, a fist-sized ball of snow landed in his eyes, sending a chill through him. He shook his head, his face filled with disgust, and asked, "How could there be such a large ball of snow?"

Zhang Bo couldn't help laughing when he saw this. "Come into the house quickly. The old servant ordered by the master will make the arrangements."
