Su Yinyin pulled Lao Wu aside and said to both sides, "Oh, then I'll just stand here. You can fight as you please, pretend we don't exist."

After Su Yinyin finished speaking, she stretched out her hand, signaling them to hurry up and hit her.

Seeing that the two men didn't seem to be with the assassins, Hongxiu knelt down and begged for help, "Great heroes, my lady is the wife of an imperial censor! Please, save my lady!"

The guards beside the lady also knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Su Yinyin.

They were now out of ammunition and food. With their few guards' skills, they couldn't withstand these assassins. Death was the only path awaiting them.

Regardless of how skilled these two people who suddenly appeared before them were, they didn't know that they must have extraordinary abilities to appear in front of them so suddenly.

This might be a chance to save my life.

The lady, sitting on the ground, spoke with difficulty, "Please, two great heroes, lend a hand. I, Li Yan, will repay your life-saving grace tenfold."

Su Yinyin smiled and said, "We are not heroes, but seeing that you are pregnant, and considering that we are both women and mothers, we can lend a helping hand."

As she spoke, she glanced at the group of mercenaries, a sly glint in her eyes. "Now I'm giving you a chance: leave, or stay?"

The mercenaries exchanged glances, surprised by the boldness of the young girl. One of their leaders yelled, "Who do you think you are? Meddling in our business!"

Su Yinyin sneered, "Who I am is not important. What's important is that you've met your match today! I gave you a chance, but you didn't cherish your lives."

Su Yinyin quietly took out a bottle from her bosom, opened it, and a gust of wind immediately blew towards the mercenaries. The mercenaries felt a chill and a sense of fear involuntarily rose in their hearts.

My body suddenly went numb, and I couldn't move at all.

The fifth man seized the opportunity to strike. His figure flashed, weaving through the mercenaries like a ghost. The short sword in his hand gleamed coldly, each strike precisely hitting a mercenary's vital points. In moments, all the mercenaries had fallen.

The lady and Hongxiu were dumbfounded; they never expected that these two seemingly ordinary people would be so capable.

"Thank you both for saving my life," the lady said gratefully.

Su Yinyin smiled slightly, "No need to be polite. I have some medical knowledge and can help take a look at this lady."

Upon hearing Su Yinyin's words, one of the guards looked at her and said, "Do you really know medicine? We can't easily trust strangers."

"It was my young lady who saved you just now. Your lives all belong to my young lady. What right do you have to doubt her now? Your mistress is so fortunate that she was willing to help you. Don't be ungrateful," the fifth brother said angrily.

Their young lady is such a formidable person, and these ungrateful bastards dare to make her suffer!

"Miss, that's not what I meant. It's just that... it's just that Madam's status is special, and we can't afford any mistakes. Please forgive us." The guard softened his tone and knelt down to kowtow to Su Yinyin.

Su Yinyin understood the other party's concerns, and she said softly, "I will not harm her."

The lady nodded, gesturing for the guards to step aside.

Su Yinyin walked to the lady's side and carefully examined her condition.

She noticed that the lady's pulse was very weak, and her condition was critical. Su Yinyin immediately took out a bottle from her bosom, opened it, and poured out a pill.

"Madam is at risk of miscarriage; these are pills to help prevent it," Su Yinyin said, handing the pills to her mistress.

Without hesitation, the lady took the pill and swallowed it herself. She knew that in her current situation, there was no better way than to trust the person in front of her.

After a while, the lady's breathing gradually stabilized, and her complexion improved slightly. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this.

Su Yinyin took out a bottle of pills from her bosom. "These are pills for preventing miscarriage. They will be beneficial to the fetus after taking them," Su Yinyin said.

The lady took the medicine bottle and put it into her bosom without hesitation. "Thank you so much, young lady, you are truly a miracle doctor." The lady was moved to tears.

"No need to thank me, it was just a small favor," Su Yinyin said with a smile. "However, you should still be careful in the future and avoid encountering any more danger."

After saying this, Su Yinyin and Lao Wu turned to leave. The lady called out to Su Yinyin, "Please wait, young lady," and gestured for a maid to help her up. With the maid's assistance, she slowly walked to Su Yinyin.

The lady bowed deeply to Su Yinyin, saying, "May I ask your honorable name, young lady? Please accept this jade pendant. In the future, if you need anything, my family and I, Li Yan, will do our utmost to help you repay your kindness."

"It's nothing, don't worry about it," Su Yinyin declined. "Madam, please keep the jade pendant. If you need any other help in the future, I will send someone to let you know."

Seeing that Su Yinyin was determined not to accept the gift, the lady did not press the matter further. "In that case, may I ask for your name, young lady?"

Su Yinyin nodded, "Su Yinyin."

"May I call you Sister Su?" Li Yan asked softly.

Seeing Li Yan's expectant eyes, Su Yinyin couldn't bear to disappoint her, so she nodded.

"Thank you very much, Sister Su," Li Yan said happily. "If you have time, please feel free to visit us at our residence."

"Definitely," Su Yinyin replied.

Just then, the sound of horses' hooves came from afar, followed by a group of soldiers rushing in.

The leading general saw Su Yinyin and Lao Wu and asked, "What happened?" The guards quickly stepped forward and explained what had happened.

The general looked at Su Yinyin gratefully and said, "Thank you for saving me, young lady."

Su Yinyin smiled and shook her head, saying, "No need to be so polite. I was just helping out when I saw injustice. However, it's not safe to stay here any longer; it would be better to leave as soon as possible."

The general nodded and arranged for soldiers to escort the lady and the others away first.

Su Yinyin and Lao Wu left first.

After the two had walked away, the maid beside the lady asked in confusion, "Madam, why did you give such a valuable jade pendant to that Miss Su?"

The lady gently stroked her belly and smiled faintly, "You don't understand. The person beside Sister Su is highly skilled in martial arts, and Sister Su is also a skilled healer with a kind heart. She is a person worth befriending. Today we are fortunate to have her help, and in the future, we may need her help as well."

After saying this, the lady turned back to the carriage, silently praying that the baby in her womb would be safe and sound.

After Su Yinyin and Lao Wu left, they went straight back to the inn.

Upon arriving at the inn, Lao Wu eagerly asked, "Miss, why didn't you accept that jade pendant? It's a valuable item!"

Su Yinyin smiled faintly, "Does your young lady look like someone who lacks good things? We do good deeds not for reward. If we covet other people's money, wouldn't we become people who take advantage of kindness?"

Upon hearing this, the fifth brother couldn't help but give a thumbs up, "Miss is right! I truly admire you."

However, they did not know that this jade pendant was actually a family heirloom of Li Yan's family, possessing mysterious power.

Because of this act of kindness, Li Yan forged a special bond with Su Yinyin. In the days to come, this bond would trigger a series of unexpected events…
