The dim light shone on her flawless, beautiful face, making her usually aloof appearance appear gentler than usual.

At that moment, her hand was on his skin, carefully examining his body, unaware that he had opened his eyes and was staring at her intently.

Lu Yinheng had seen her look like that many times.

But that was all when I was handling official business.

This is the first time I've focused solely on him like this.

Although he knew she was just checking his body and had no other intentions, being stared at intently by those beautiful eyes still made his blood boil.

He couldn't help but let his imagination run wild, what if one day, she wasn't there to examine him, but simply to admire and love him...

After Ji Yunshuang finished her examination, she met Lu Yinheng's somewhat dazed gaze.

She was momentarily stunned, and for some reason, she thought of the last time, and a thought popped into her mind...

Their eyes met, and Lu Yinheng suddenly realized what was happening. He quickly looked away, sat up from the soft couch, and hurriedly put on his clothes, asking, "How are you? Are you alright?"

His interruption caused the vague conjecture that had just arisen in Ji Yunshuang's mind to vanish instantly.

She said, "I think I was injured while I was rescuing him. I have several bruises, but I don't think any bones were broken. I just need to take some medicine and rest. It shouldn't affect my mobility for now."

Lu Yinheng said, "Now you agree to let me go to Jingzhou with you, right?"

Ji Yunshuang nodded. "Let's rest for a while. After dawn, I'll dispatch the soldiers. You take your men back to the manor. Zhuzhu and Yanqi can no longer stay at the manor."

If the two remained in the village, they would be easy targets. Anyone who wanted to harm them could turn against them.

Lu Yinheng had encountered many such schemes in his past life and was very experienced in this area. He nodded, indicating that he would make the arrangements to ensure that no one could find them.

Ji Yunshuang looked at him, still a little uneasy. Using her clothes as cover, she took out several bottles of medicine from her spatial storage and handed them to Lu Yinheng, saying, "These medicines are for treating the plague. When the time comes..."

For some reason, she thought of the expression on the priestess's face when she died.

These days, she often thinks of the incredibly eerie expression on the face of the shrine maiden when she died.

She suddenly felt uneasy.

If, as he suspected, the priestess was indeed alive, she would surely seek revenge.

Perhaps she, like Fu Weiyi, has already hidden herself by her side.

If she were to attack someone close to her...

She changed her mind and said, "Never mind, I'll arrange the people!"

She rarely found herself so indecisive. Lu Yinheng only needed a moment's thought to guess why she was behaving so strangely. He said, "You still doubt that the witch is dead?"

"Mm!" Ji Yunshuang nodded slightly.

Lu Yinheng said, "You suspect that the plague in Jingzhou is also related to her?"

Ji Yunshuang said, "I can't say for sure, but I feel a little uneasy. Maybe I'm overthinking it."

Seeing her concern for the two children, Lu Yinheng's lips unconsciously curled up.

Although it was just about caring for the children and had little to do with him personally, he still felt inexplicably happy.

He asked, "So where do you plan to place them?"

Ji Yunshuang actually wanted Lu Yuzhu to go into the space.

Lu Yizhu is really a child. If she sets up the space and lets her move around within her own designated area, she shouldn't notice anything wrong.

Lu Yanqi has always cared deeply for his younger sister and has always looked after her. He certainly doesn't want to be separated from her.

But he was reborn, not a real child, and he wasn't so easily fooled.

Ji Yunshuang was also in a bit of a dilemma.

She said, "Do you remember the cave where we housed the children we rescued from the Huang family?"

Lu Yinheng frowned slightly. "You want to put the child in a cave?"

Ji Yunshuang said, "In addition to those children, I have also arranged for Chen Wu's family to go to the cave, and I also allow Chen Wu to go back to visit his family regularly, take care of the children in the cave, and pay attention to the development of the cave."

She was too busy to go back to the cave. But based on her understanding of Lu Wu, the cave's development shouldn't be too bad.

Lu Yinheng said, "The cave is well hidden, and most people wouldn't find it easily. However, the journey back from here is long..."

To successfully send her back without being discovered would require immense effort. If she truly were the mother of two children, her concern for them would be perfectly understandable. But now he knew she was a strange soul from another world.

He was already very grateful for the meticulous care she gave her daughter, which changed her destiny.

He said, "This is too hard on you."

After sharing their secrets with each other, they did not discuss their relationship further.

Ji Yunshuang used to think it was unnecessary, but now, after hearing his words, she felt it was still necessary to say something.

She said earnestly, "I really like Zhuzhu. If something happens to her because of me, I will be very sad. I don't think it's a hard thing to go through the trouble of arranging for her safety."

Lu Yinheng looked at her, and at this moment, the thoughts he had just suppressed were stirring again.

He really wanted to ask her, since she liked children so much, could she also like him a little bit?

Just a little bit is enough.

In the end, he simply said thank you softly.

Ji Yunshuang smiled and said, "There's no need to thank me."

Putting aside the fact that Zhuzhu brought her a lot of joy, it's only right that she, having taken over someone else's mother's body, take care of the two children.

Lu Yinheng gazed at her with deep, dark eyes and said, "I have to thank you for everything."

She didn't know what she meant to them.

Thank you for coming into this world...

Ji Yunshuang was unaware of the many meanings contained in his "thank you," and only felt that he was being far too polite today.

She said, "Alright, let's not stand on ceremony. It's getting late, you should get some rest. Even though you're not seriously ill, you should still take care of yourself."

"Go and rest. I'm a grown man, it's no big deal if I don't sleep all night," Lu Yinheng said. "I'll keep an eye on Dr. Rui's situation."

Ji Yunshuang said, "Just rest when I tell you to, don't be so wishy-washy. I'll take care of Dr. Rui, don't worry, I won't let you rest for too long. There are still many things waiting for you to do tomorrow."

The key issue is that even if he goes, he might not be able to handle the heat.

It would be better to arrange for him to go to a more suitable place.

Now that she has decided to personally oversee the safety of the two children, he can take care of some of the preparations before going to Jingzhou.
