"Okay... Mother won't say anymore, she'll never say it again!"

The thought of this terrified Zhang.

It's truly terrifying; these things are far beyond what she could have foreseen.

"Yeah, it's okay..."

Lü Qingyou reached out and touched her hand again.

With Lü Qingyou's reassurance, Zhang Shi was no longer so anxious.

We ate lunch at the estate while waiting for the officials to arrive.

Lu Qingyou had someone pick a handful of sweet potato stems, peel off the outer skin, and stir-fry them with chili peppers. They were incredibly delicious.

In the village, there was naturally a lot of food available.

After all that happened, no one had much of an appetite at lunchtime.

Even so, the dish that Lü Qingyou cooked using the roots and stems of sweet potatoes was completely devoured.

After the meal, the officials from the yamen arrived. The Lü family and the Feng family were prominent families in Yangzhou.

That was a very famous place, and they would send a lot of gifts to the county government every day.

The constables came over and inspected the scene. They first looked at the man lying on the ground, who had a bandit-like air about him and was clearly no good.

They left with the body.

After they left, the matter was considered settled.

Zhang's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, was finally put at ease.

After all, not everyone knows a great general.

"Mother, should we go back? Let's go back to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival!"

Someone died here, so Zhang probably doesn't want to stay here any longer.

"Let's not go back! There's nothing prepared at home, and Xuan Yi doesn't look too well either. Let's stay here! It'll save us the trouble of traveling."

Zhang waved her hand, indicating that it was really nothing.

Now that the matter has been resolved and there are no more problems, there's nothing to worry about.

"But... you shouldn't live in Qingyou's courtyard anymore, you should move to another one!"

Zhang then continued speaking.

No matter what, it's not a place for people to live. It would be so unlucky if someone died there.

"Yes, you were originally planning to leave. Amber has already packed your things. I'll move you to another room right away. We'll turn that little courtyard into a small garden!"

Lu Qingyou nodded in agreement and then gave instructions to the head of the estate.

This estate is quite nice, but it doesn't have many flowers, which makes it lack a certain charm.

"Yes!"

Upon receiving the order, the village headman immediately led his men to move things and dismantle the houses.

Lü Qingyou and Zhang Shi lived in the same courtyard. Although it was a bit crowded, she left in just a couple of days.

Just as they finished moving the things, Bai Ling, who was serving Feng Xuanyi, rushed over.

"Miss...the young master has a fever."

"I'll go take a look and get someone to carry that bamboo chair."

In her haste, Lü Qingyou stood up and exerted herself slightly, causing a sharp pain in her foot.

"Yes!"

Bai Ling quickly went down to call for help.

Soon, two tenant farmers carried over a bamboo chair, and Lü Qingyou sat down on it. They quickly arrived at the door where Feng Xuanyi lived.

Bai Ling took the money, gave it to them as a tip, and then helped Lü Qingyou inside.

Lu Qingyou walked slowly, focusing most of her strength on Bai Ling.

She sat down next to Feng Xuanyi and noticed that his whole body was red. When she touched his body, it was burning hot.

"Go get some liquor, and while you're at it, borrow the servant boy who serves Second Brother to take care of him."
