Mistakenly recognized as a cousin, thousands of pampered

Considering that Xue Yunmeng could help regulate Tao Jiuxi's health, Shen Zhiyi naturally agreed to let Xue Yunmeng go with him.

Although Xue Yunmeng seemed rather perfunctory when taking Tao Jiuxi's pulse, he was actually very efficient and effective in doing things.

After getting Shen Zhiyi's permission to go south together, Xue Yunmeng immediately picked up a pen and paper, quickly wrote down a prescription, and handed it to Tao Jiuxi.

"Get the medicine according to this prescription and take it every morning and evening. This way, my stay here with you will not be in vain." Xue Yunmeng said.

Tao Jiuxi took the prescription handed to him by Xue Yunmeng, and saw that it was covered with many words written in a rather sloppy handwriting.

Tao Jiuxi hurriedly thanked her: "Thank you, Miss Xue."

Xue Yunmeng looked past Tao Jiuxi and glanced at Shen Zhiyi behind her, saying, "I have something else to do."

Then he turned and left.

Just from that one glance, Tao Jiuxi noticed that there was some different emotion in Xue Yunmeng's eyes when she looked at Shen Zhiyi.

She calmly folded the prescription and handed it to Shen Zhiyi.

"Shen Zhiyi, do you plan to continue pretending to be in pain, or go out for a walk with me?" Tao Jiuxi asked.

"Get out. Wherever you go, I'll go."

Shen Zhiyi instantly put aside the serious look he had in front of everyone, and his tone became exceptionally gentle.

"Of course, we're going to visit Cloud City."

If it weren't for the big mistake of being misdiagnosed as pregnant when she first arrived in Yuncheng, how could Tao Jiuxi stay on the boat so obediently?

Because she had to take care of Shen Zhiyi these two days, she hadn't seen Fu Ya and Mu'er, and she couldn't contain her excitement at this moment.

Shen Zhiyi arranged for his men to prepare the medicine according to the prescription and asked for the location of the inn. Then the two of them set off.

Tao Jiuxi felt as if he had been reborn after a calamity. Looking at the sunshine outside, he felt that it was particularly bright and brilliant.

"No wonder Xie Yushu wants to settle here. This Yuncheng is really nice."

Willow trees swayed gently by the river, dancing in the breeze. The two strolled along the riverside path, where pedestrians walked leisurely, at a leisurely pace, as if time had slowed down.

"If you like, we can stay here for a few more days."

"We have been delayed on the road for quite some time. We should get to your mother as soon as possible. I also want to go back and see my sister soon. She is waiting for father alone in the capital. She must miss me very much." Tao Jiuxi said as he broke off two slender willow branches. As he walked, his hands became busy, skillfully weaving the willow branches into a ball.

"If we don't stop along the way, it will still take more than ten days."

Shen Zhiyi's eyes were always on Tao Jiuxi. Seeing that she was concentrating on the willow branch in her hand, he couldn't help but worry that she was not paying attention to the road, so he kept stretching out his hand to protect her, fearing that she would make the slightest mistake.

After Tao Jiuxi finished weaving the ring, he actually put the willow branch ring directly on Shen Zhiyi's head.

"I won't wear anything without flowers, hehe."

Shen Zhiyi looked at her lovingly, with no intention of taking it off. He also completely ignored the gazes of passers-by on the street. He just held Tao Jiuxi's hand tightly and walked forward slowly.

Suddenly, there was a noise coming from the front. Tao Jiuxi looked up and saw a lot of people gathered together.

"Let's go and take a look. There must be something exciting to see." Tao Jiuxi said excitedly, letting go of Shen Zhiyi's hand and running towards the crowd.

Shen Zhiyi shook his head helplessly and had to catch up quickly.

Squeezing into the crowd, I saw a middle-aged man tightly holding a little girl of about twelve or thirteen years old.

The little girl had a thin face, but the beauty in her eyes and eyebrows could not be concealed. At this moment, she was struggling desperately.

"Daddy, Daddy, please, I really don't want to go." The little girl's voice was crying, her eyes were red, and tears were welling up in her eyes.

The middle-aged man had a look of sorrow on his face. He held his daughter's hand tightly, muttering, "My dear daughter, Master Li has already given all the money. Daddy has used it to buy medicine for your brother. If you don't go, Master Li will not let our family go."

When the girl heard this, tears fell like beads from a broken string, and her thin shoulders trembled continuously: "Dad, I feel sorry for my brother's illness, but I... I don't want to go..."

At this moment, someone in the crowd couldn't help but speak up. It was an older woman carrying a vegetable basket. She frowned, pointed at the middle-aged man with disdain and said, "Sun Dashan, you're so shameless! If you weren't so lazy and gluttonous, how could your family be so poor? You can't even afford medical treatment for your child, and you have to sell your daughter."

"That's right. You sold a daughter last time, and now you want to sell this little one too. Are you still a human being?" A young man next to him echoed, his eyes full of anger.

"Hmph, Mr. Li is over seventy years old, and you have the heart to push your daughter into the fire pit, bah!" An old man stomped his feet in anger and spat on the ground.

As Sun Dashan listened to these accusations, his face turned red and white, but he still gritted his teeth and refused to let go of his daughter's hand.

The little girl cried even harder.

An angry shout immediately came from the crowd. It turned out to be the servant from Master Li's family who came to pick someone up.

The servant glared and shouted at the top of his voice, "You dare say another word? My master paid the money, and his family paid for the people. It's only natural. What's there to complain about?"

"Why don't you let people talk about it? Your Master Li already has more than a dozen concubines, and now he's looking for a maid. He's already so old, I don't know how many more days he can live in this world."

The speaker was a burly man with his neck stiff and a look of indignation on his face.

"Watch your mouth!" The servant of Master Li was so angry that he picked up the wooden stick in his hand and waved it in the air a few times. He stared at the man who was talking fiercely, as if he was ready to fight if they disagreed.

Seeing this, the man was still indignant in his heart, but seeing that the other party was outnumbered and powerful, he could only grit his teeth and shut up reluctantly.

Perhaps because he was worried that the night would be too long and would attract more people to meddle in this matter, the servant took a few steps forward and reached out to pull the girl.

The little girl staggered and almost fell down because of his pull.

"Come with me quickly! When you get to the Li family, you can at least eat good food and meat. Look at your poor family, you can't even have a full meal." The servant said impatiently while pulling, and the strength in his hands increased a little.

The little girl's father stood aside, his head lowered, not daring to look at his daughter's tear-stained face. He just urged her in a low voice: "My dear daughter, go quickly. When you get to Mr. Li's house, be obedient..."

His voice was choked, and his hands were clenched into fists at his sides.

There were sighs from the crowd around, some people shook their heads, and some cursed.
