Moon frost snow

When He Yue was trying to pull her hand back, she swung the cloth under the eaves. The inertia of falling caused Li Lian'er's already weak hand to slip from He Yue's feet.

Li Lian'er fell down while holding He Yue's shoes tightly. At this time, everyone below looked at the person lying on the ground with his eyes open in panic.

He looked up again and saw that there was someone upstairs. Without Li Lian'er's weight, He Yue easily grabbed the cloth strip.

Amid the exclamations of people upstairs and downstairs, He Yue grabbed the cloth strip and slid steadily to the ground.

One end of the cloth strip was not tied properly, so it was torn off, and the lanterns on the cloth strip fell to the ground.

Xiao Zhuang and a few others happened to be nearby and heard that someone had jumped from the Piaoxiang Building.

When they came over worriedly, they saw He Yue sliding down from the upstairs, holding a piece of cloth. They ran forward worriedly and shouted, "Xiao Yue, sister, sister."

When Guo Yulan saw He Yue falling, her heart was in her throat. She was relieved when she saw He Yue grabbing the cloth strip and landing on the ground.

He wanted to go see He Yue in a hurry, but he had just used up all his strength. When he relaxed, he felt limp all over.

Lu He supported her and said, "Miss, she's fine. You should take a rest first and then go see her! Don't let her worry about you."

County Magistrate Guo nodded, "Yes! Lu He is right."

Guo Yulan said, "Well, Dad, I'm sorry that I made you worry."

County Magistrate Guo lovingly lifted Guo Yulan's hair from her eyes and said, "Silly child, I was very worried just now, but I'm even more happy that you are willing to risk everything to save others."

Mrs. Qian also came over and said, "Miss Guo is such a brave and generous girl. Master Guo is so lucky to have such a beautiful, brave and capable daughter."

County Magistrate Guo smiled and said, "Mrs. Qian, you are too kind. Which child is not the apple of their parents' eyes?"

Prefect Qian also patted County Magistrate Guo and said, "Lord Guo is an upright official, and your daughter is as capable as any man. Although there were some unpleasant things at this Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, Miss Guo sang about the joys and sorrows of life, the waxing and waning of the moon, and it is difficult to have everything at once. May we live long and share the beauty of the moon together, even though we are thousands of miles apart. This is very appropriate and extraordinary!"

County Magistrate Guo immediately bowed and said, "Master Qian, thank you for your praise. I hope the ladies will not blame me."

After a few official talks, they said goodbye and left with their people.

After they all left, County Magistrate Guo ordered the bailiffs to put the two men in jail and warned Cuihong not to engage in human trafficking again.

Everyone was busy in the building, and downstairs, Li Guihua and the others ran to He Yue and looked around worriedly.

Dazhuang asked, "What's wrong with my sister?"

He Yue pointed at Li Lian'er lying on the ground not far away and said, "It's okay. It was all her fault. She suddenly bumped into me and knocked me out without me being prepared. Luckily Xiaolan pulled me back, otherwise I would have ended up like her."

Li Guihua felt sorry for Li Lian'er lying on the ground, but when she heard that she wanted to drag He Yue to die with her, she glared at her with disgust.

There were many people around, all talking about it, "Isn't that Lian'er, the new arrival at Cuihonglou a few days ago?"

The people around him looked at him and said, "Hey, Cui Honglou, you know her, you didn't do that with her, did you?"

"You don't know, she can do it, what a pity..."

Someone looked at Li Lian'er lying on the ground with disgust, spat, and walked away.

Someone pointed at He Yue and said, "Isn't that Doctor He? How could she fall down with that girl?"

At this time, several yamen runners came with a straw mat, rolled up Li Lian'er and carried her away.

Several people wearing expensive clothes came out of the building, and other yamen runners led the way and protected them as they got on the carriage and left.

Someone said, "Could it be that an adult bullied the girl in the brothel upstairs, and the girl couldn't stand it and jumped off the building?"

Someone immediately retorted to him, "You're talking nonsense! Our County Magistrate Guo, Lord Guo, is a good official. With him around, who would bully a girl?"

"That's right. If you don't know, don't say anything. I heard that this girl was found poisoning someone."

"No wonder I saw a young lady being carried out and put into the carriage."

"Oh my! This girl is so brave! She actually dared to poison the county magistrate and his men. I'm afraid she's an assassin sent by the enemy country!"

Everyone who heard this stepped back, fearing that they would be arrested as her accomplices.

He Yue quickly recovered some strength and said to Li Guihua and the others, "Wait here for me. I'll go see if Xiaolan is injured."

Knowing that it was Guo Yulan who saved He Yue, everyone nodded in agreement, and He Yue went back upstairs.

Li Guihua sighed as she watched Li Lian'er being carried away, "How could such a good person become so cruel?"

Da Zhuang said, "Humph! How can someone who is so evil to the core be good? She deserves it."

Xiao Zhuang also nodded and said, "That's right. She was the one who stole my sister's clothes, bullied my sister, and even wanted to drag my sister to die with her. She deserves it."

Li Guihua just shook her head dejectedly and said nothing. He Youren patted Li Guihua's shoulder gently and said, "Don't think too much. Fortunately, Xiaoyue is safe. You can't control the rest."

He Yue went upstairs and met County Magistrate Guo who was going to the yamen. He Yue saluted and said, "Sir."

County Magistrate Guo said, "Well, I'm glad you're alright. I'll leave Xiaolan to you. I have other things to attend to."

He Yue nodded and said, "Don't worry, sir. I will send Xiaolan home safely."

County Magistrate Guo nodded in gratitude and left with his men.

As soon as He Yue entered, Guo Yulan couldn't wait to come over and hug He Yue, "Yue'er, are you okay? Didn't you fall?"

He Yue hugged Guo Yulan tightly and patted her back. "I'm fine. Thank you, Lan'er. Let me see if your hand is okay!"

Guo Yulan smiled and said, "It's okay, you just almost scared me to death."

He Yue looked at Guo Yulan's red hands and took out the ointment from her bag. "You said it was okay, but your hands are red. If you encounter danger, you must protect yourself first. Don't be so reckless. What if you fall down? What will happen to your father? He will cry to death."

Guo Yulan laughed and said, "Well, I didn't think that much at the time! I just wanted you not to fall. But luckily you are okay, otherwise my life would be miserable."

He Yue held Guo Yulan's hand and said, "Yes, I have to thank you too. If you hadn't held me back, I might have fallen to my death."

He Yue checked Guo Yulan and found that apart from her hand being pulled red, she had no other injuries. Guo Yulan had rested well by now.

He Yue took Guo Yulan's hand and went downstairs. Li Guihua and the others expressed their gratitude to Guo Yulan one by one.

Guo Yulan's persuasion was in vain, so they went shopping together for a while and only went back after sending Guo Yulan home.

Good and bad things spread everywhere as if they had wings, and almost every village knew about Li Lian'er's affair.

When Li Lian'er's parents found out, they not only refused to go to the county government office to claim Li Lian'er's body, but also felt that Li Lian'er had brought shame to their family and removed her name from the family tree.

The song that Guo Yulan sang on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival soon spread to Yudu. Teahouses, taverns, scholars and even brothels were all singing "Shui Tiao Ge Tou".
