My reborn husband and son are thinking about how to kill me every day.

The villa is located in a remote area, and there aren't many people living there. Currently, there's only one steward and a few servants. The steward is responsible for managing all the affairs of the villa, while the servants mainly take care of the courtyard.

This village is located in a rather remote area, and the Xu family may not come here even once every few years.

However, when Ji Yunshuang visited last time, she found the houses in the estate well-maintained and was quite satisfied with the servants.

When the carriage arrived at the estate, a steward immediately came to greet it.

Ji Yunshuang said to the steward, "Prepare a few rooms; I have a patient here who needs to recuperate."

Also, send someone to the tenant farmers' homes to ask if any woman has just given birth and if they can borrow her breast milk, offering two qian of silver a month as payment.

Although Manager Tong had only met Ji Yunshuang once before, he was deeply impressed by his new employer. He knew that she was not only beautiful but also very difficult to fool.

Upon hearing Ji Yunshuang's words, he hurriedly arranged for the servants to tidy up the house, and then, wearing a straw hat, went to the tenant farmer's house to find a farmer's wife who had milk.

The servants on the estate were already cleaning the houses every day, so they were quick to tidy up the rooms. In no time, they had tidied up two rooms.

Ji Yunshuang asked a few people to help carry Li Zhao into the room.

The servants on the estate were very diligent and kept the houses in the estate spotless.

But none of them were young, and Li Zhao was tall, plus he was covered in injuries...

It was quite strenuous to lift Li Zhao.

This ordeal aggravated his wound, and Li Zhao quickly woke up.

Looking at the unfamiliar house and listening to the sound of rain hitting the tiles, Li Zhao was stunned for a moment, then looked at Ji Yunshuang and said, "Did you save me?"

As Ji Yunshuang took medicine from her bundle, she replied, "If I didn't save you, who else could it be?"

"Thank you!" Li Zhao said somewhat awkwardly, "From now on, I'll do whatever you say."

The servants had already left. Ji Yunshuang used her mental power to scan the surroundings and, after confirming that no one outside the room could hear their conversation, she asked directly, "Did you make any new discoveries later?"

Li Zhao said somewhat uncertainly, "I suspect the witch came."

Ji Yunshuang paused slightly in her movements. "Did you see the witch afterward? Or did she leave something behind?"

Li Zhao shook his head slightly and said, "Neither."

Ji Yunshuang asked in confusion, "What is that?"

“Before I fainted, I thought I heard a bell ringing…” Li Zhao explained, “I heard it before when she was playing with the insects, but this time, I’m not sure if it was just a hallucination before I fainted.”

Ji Yunshuang frowned slightly and said, "If you weren't hallucinating, then she was still in Ningcheng at that time?"

By then, the fire in Ningcheng was already quite large. Did that witch perhaps also possess some special ability?

Li Zhao couldn't answer her question because he still couldn't tell whether he had actually heard it or if it was just a hallucination from when he fainted.

Logically speaking, he shouldn't have mentioned something so uncertain.

But when he met Ji Yunshuang's gaze, he somehow blurted it out.

"Do you remember what the witch looks like? Once you're healed, find her." Ji Yunshuang said, and began to treat his wounds with medicine.

He has many injuries.

In addition to the internal injuries caused by being hit by the roof beam, there were also many burns and scalds.

The medications used also vary.

When Ji Yunshuang was treating his wounds, she treated him as her experimental subject, using him to hone her medical skills.

But Li Zhao felt very uncomfortable.

Firstly, Ji Yunshuang is a woman, and he is a very traditional man. He believes that men and women should not touch each other, and the thought of a woman touching a man's body makes his heart beat abnormally fast.

Moreover, Ji Yunshuang is still his new master. How can a master treat the wounds of his servant?

He tried to ignore Ji Yunshuang and answered her question, "If you can recognize her, I can draw a portrait. Once I'm healed, I can draw a portrait of her for you."

After hearing his words, Ji Yunshuang immediately regretted not feeding him a few more drops of nectar so that his injury could heal faster.

After treating his injuries, she said, "Then take good care of yourself and try to finish the painting as soon as possible."

Just as Li Zhao was about to respond, the sound of a baby crying rang out from the room.

The attraction between the two was drawn to each other simultaneously.

"Is this the child I saved? She's still alive?" Li Zhao's attention had been entirely on Ji Yunshuang, and he hadn't noticed the child that the maid had placed on the couch.

The child had been very well-behaved, lying on the couch with her round eyes looking around without making a sound; even Ji Yunshuang had overlooked her.

"I saved them." Ji Yunshuang went over, picked up the crying child, and added, "I saved you all."

Li Zhao said, "Yes, we owe our lives to our master. If it weren't for him, we would all be dead."

Ji Yunshuang first checked the baby's diaper and, seeing that it was dry, guessed that the baby was hungry.

She took the child out and was about to call a servant to ask if Steward Tong had returned when a servant came to report that Steward Tong had brought back a milk-producing peasant woman who was waiting in the front hall.

Ji Yunshuang gently shook the crying baby and walked towards the front hall.

Upon seeing Ji Yunshuang, Manager Tong bowed to her first before introducing her: "This eldest daughter-in-law gave birth to a baby girl last month. She has plenty of breast milk, and the baby girl is very pretty. What do you think, Master?"

Ji Yunshuang sized up the woman in front of her.

The woman looked to be in her early twenties, with somewhat dark skin but a full figure. Her teeth were white, and her fingernails were clean; she was clearly a hygienic person.

Seeing Ji Yunshuang looking her over, she shyly tugged at her clothes.

Ji Yunshuang asked her if it was voluntary.

Zhang's wife nodded hurriedly and said, "I'm willing, boss. Don't worry, give me the child, and I will take good care of him."

Ji Yunshuang said to Steward Tong, "Go downstairs and change your clothes first. I'll call you if I need anything."

"Yes!" Steward Tong replied before leaving.

After Steward Tong left, Ji Yunshuang handed the child to the woman and said, "She seems hungry. Try feeding her first."

The woman quickly took the child, sat down on a chair nearby, and began to feed him while lifting her clothes.

As soon as the baby started nursing, he immediately stopped crying.

Ji Yunshuang turned her head away, avoiding eye contact.

After the woman finished feeding her child, she turned back to her and said, "You can bring your child here to take care of him/her. He/She can eat all three meals here."

I will have the servants prepare more milk-boosting foods for you, and I will also give you two taels of silver each month.

Zhang's wife hurriedly knelt down to thank Ji Yunshuang.

Ji Yunshuang stopped her, saying, "There's no need for thanks. Just take good care of the child. If you do a good job, your monthly salary will increase."
