Yu Shuyan and the coachman helped the still unconscious Yu Moyan into the Yu family courtyard.

Fu Yuqin and Wu Manting were playing with their three children in the yard.

When she saw them come in, Fu Yuqin turned pale with fright.

Although Wu Manting's face was also very pale, she instructed the wet nurse to take the children away first. Only then did she help Fu Yuqin to go forward.

The voice trembled slightly:

"Shuyan, what happened to your brother?"

Afraid of frightening them, Yu Shuyan quickly said:

"Don't worry, don't worry, my brother is fine. He's just a little weak and needs to rest."

Hearing her words, both of them unconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.

After handing Yu Moyan over to Wu Manting and Fu Yuqin, Yu Shuyan said:

"Help him inside first and let him rest for a while."

After saying that, he turned around and left.

Fu Yuqin called out to her:

"Shuyan, where are you going?"

A cold glint flashed in Yu Shuyan's eyes:

"Mother, there are some things I need to take care of."

After saying that, seeing that Fu Yuqin still wanted to ask, he quickly said:

"Alright, you guys hurry up and help my brother inside. His leg is just healed, let him rest more."

Fu Yuqin's face lit up with surprise:

"Healed? You mean, your brother's leg is completely healed?"

Yu Shuyan smiled and nodded:

"Yes, it's completely healed."

After saying that, he quickly turned around, called the driver, and walked out.

The moment she turned around, her face was already clouded with gloom.

In her past life, her family was brutally murdered, and she was powerless to help them, causing her immense pain.

In this life, she will never allow anyone to harm her loved ones.

Anyone who causes her loved ones pain will suffer a thousand times more in return. Her family is her bottom line.

However, Ouyang Feng is currently in the eye of the storm, with many eyes watching him.

Let those he deceived and harmed torment him mentally for now. As for the pain Yu Moyan suffered, she will make him pay back a hundredfold, a thousandfold later.

"Take me to Wenjing Street."

After giving her cold instructions, Yu Shuyan lifted the carriage curtain and stepped into the carriage.

The coachman found it strange, after all, Wenjing Street was inhabited by officials of the third rank or above in the imperial court. He didn't ask any further questions, cracked his whip, and spurred the carriage away quickly.

The carriage sped along and soon arrived at the intersection of Wenjing Street.

"Miss, here we are."

The coachman stopped the carriage, jumped off, and stepped aside.

Yu Shuyan lifted the car curtain and jumped out of the car:

"You go back first. I'll go back by myself after I finish my business."

The driver obediently jumped into the carriage, turned it around, and drove away.

Yu Shuyan looked around and, seeing no one, took out a veil from her pocket, covered her face, and stepped into Wenjing Street.

As I walked to the entrance of a courtyard, I looked up and saw the plaque above the gate that read "Cui Mansion".

She took a step, walked straight to the door, and knocked.

A moment later, the gate was opened, and a gatekeeper in his forties with a goatee came out.

He squinted his goat-like eyes and looked Yu Shuyan up and down.

Seeing that she was dressed simply and had no maids with her, his eyes showed considerable disdain. He raised his chin and said arrogantly:

"What are you doing? What are you doing? Do you even know where you are? How dare you knock on doors like this? Aren't you afraid of getting your legs broken?!"

Yu Shuyan frowned slightly, but she didn't want to argue with such a snobbish person. She said calmly:

"Go and inform your master that Lady Yuan has come to visit."

Unexpectedly, the gatekeeper, upon hearing his words, not only did not go to report it, but instead burst into laughter as if he had heard something extremely funny.

Yu Shuyan remained patient, her eyebrows slightly raised.

"why are you laughing?"

The gatekeeper slowly stopped laughing, but then chuckled dismissively:

“Who do you think you are, daring to say you’ve come to visit our master? Our master is the Prefect of Lingjin City, a high-ranking official of the third rank. How could a lowly woman like you be allowed to see him so easily?”

As he spoke, he waved his hand impatiently and said:

"Get out, get out of here right now! What a load of nonsense you are!"

Saying that, he was about to close the door.

Yu Shuyan frowned, and her voice turned colder:

"I advise you to go and report to me right away. If you delay your superiors' business, I'm afraid you'll be in big trouble!"

The doorman sneered and gritted his teeth:

"Oh, you dare to be so arrogant? Don't you even know where you are? How dare you spout such nonsense? Tell me, what important matter could I possibly be holding up our adults?"

As he spoke, he picked up a wooden stick from the side:

"If you can't answer, don't blame me for breaking your legs!"

As he spoke, he raised the wooden stick and walked menacingly toward Yu Shuyan.

It seemed as if it was about to strike Yu Shuyan hard in the next second.

Yu Shuyan sighed softly, clearly not expecting this situation where it was easier to see the King of Hell than to deal with his underlings. Just as she was hesitating whether to knock him out with one injection and go straight in...

Suddenly, a clear voice came from behind:

"What are you doing?"

Before she could react, the doorman's demeanor had completely changed. He put away the wooden stick he was holding, shoved her aside, and plastered a fawning smile on his face, bowing obsequiously as he approached her.

"Oh my, isn't this Young Master Bai? You're much better now, thank goodness, good people are always blessed."

Yu Shuyan turned around and saw the person who had come.

A line of poetry couldn't help but come to mind: "A gentleman as jade on the road, unparalleled in the world."

His gentle and elegant temperament, unlike Wen Lang's, is not feigned; it always gives people a subtle sense of unnaturalness.

His temperament is ingrained in his bones, radiating naturalness and comfort from within.

The moment you see him, you inexplicably feel a deep urge to use every beautiful word in the world to describe him.

Yet, I feel that no beautiful words are sufficient to describe his beauty.

Bai Ziyu's gentle eyes swept over the wooden stick in the gatekeeper's hand, and his brows furrowed slightly:

What are you trying to do?

The gatekeeper awkwardly moved the wooden stick behind his back and said obsequiously:

"Oh dear, Young Master Bai, you have no idea, a madwoman has arrived. She insists on barging into our Cui residence and even boasts..."

"Shamelessly demanding to see our Prefect, tell me, should I throw her out?"

Bai Ziyu frowned and said:

"No matter what, you shouldn't have hit someone with a stick."

The doorman nodded hurriedly:

"Yes, yes, Young Master Bai is right. Come, come, please come in. Our master has been waiting for you for a long time."

However, the indifference in his eyes betrayed his perfunctory attitude.

Bai Ziyu frowned slightly:

"How is your mother?"

The gatekeeper sighed deeply:

"Alas, we've seen all the doctors with a reputation in Lingjin City. We've even consulted almost all the imperial physicians. But they're all helpless. The old lady is in a coma and getting thinner every day. It looks like things are not going to get better."

"I had been hoping for that so-called Doctor Ouyang, but I never expected that the news would spread that he was a villain who poisoned people and then cured them."

"So, it's because we heard that you were saved by a divine healer. Our master invited you here to ask about the divine healer."

Yu Shuyan raised her eyebrows slightly:

It seems we should thank Ouyang Feng.

His conspiracies, delivered right to her doorstep, actually made Lady Yuan's reputation even greater.

Bai Ziyu sighed softly in shame:

"Actually, although I was saved by Lady Yuan, to her I was merely a patient. I already feel guilty for not having visited to express my gratitude, and now I'm being asked to go and beg her to save someone again. I wonder..."

At this point, he sighed softly:

"Alright, take me to see Lord Cui first."

The gatekeeper nodded hurriedly, bowed, and gestured for them to proceed, then led the way.

"Young Master Bai, please."

Bai Ziyu took a few steps, then suddenly seemed to remember something and turned to face Yu Shuyan, but out of courtesy, he did not look directly at her.

His lowered eyes and perfectly handsome face appeared so clean and beautiful under the sunlight.

“Young lady, if you have a complaint to file, please go to the government office and beat the drum. This is, after all, a private residence, and it is indeed inconvenient to visit here. Moreover, Lord Cui’s mother is critically ill these days. If it is not important, please understand and do not disturb him.”

Polite and beautiful.

Even Yu Shuyan, who had been reborn, was momentarily lost in thought because of him.

By the time she came to her senses, Bai Ziyu had already stepped one foot inside the door.

Yu Shuyan was secretly annoyed. She had lived a second life and experienced many hardships. How could she lose her composure because of a man?

Moreover, she had already guessed his identity from their conversation.

His surname is Bai, and he was saved by Lady Yuan.

That means it has to be Bai Chongshan's son, Bai Ziyu, who is incredibly learned and talented, and is admired by all the young ladies in Lingjin City and even the entire Dayong!

Composing himself, he spoke calmly:

"Aren't you going to say thank you? Let's do it now!"
