Everyone was looking at her.

Yin Zhu, who had a fiery temper, said coldly, "Shut up! We just knocked them out. Which eye of yours saw us kill anyone?"

"Guan Suyi, they're looking for Guan Suyi. These people are here to see her? Have you offended them?" Chen Ting looked at Guan Suyi, her big eyes full of doubt.

In that instant, Jiang Changtian felt a murderous intent.

Chen Jingfeng's face was still a little pale, but it turned even paler when he heard this. He grabbed Chen Ting.

“Ting’er, what nonsense are you talking about? This lady is Brother Jiang’s mother. I clearly heard her called Guan Yiyi. How could she be someone these people know? If she were, they would have recognized her just now.”

Chen Ting shrank back, "I must have misheard."

Old Xu chuckled, "You're not a three-and-a-half-year-old anymore. Watch your mouth and don't talk nonsense, or you'll hurt yourself and others."

Jiang Changtian glanced at Chen Jingfeng, then got into the carriage to change his clothes.

Lin Shuyun rested her chin on her hand, admiring the man undressing. "What did you ask me?"

Jiang Changtian said in a low voice, "They're very tight-lipped. We didn't get any information out of them, but we do know that Zhang Xiucheng seems to have contracted some illness and has already gone back."

"Yunyun, this trip to Shengjing might not be so safe..."

Lin Shuyun interrupted him, "Here we go again. I'm tired of hearing you say that. You shouldn't be worried about my safety. You only need to worry about yourself. Make sure you take good care of yourself."

As she spoke, Lin Shuyun ran her fingers across his abs.

"Yunyun." Jiang Changtian instantly grasped her hand, his voice low and hoarse, his Adam's apple bobbing.

Lin Shuyun lowered her hand and whispered in his ear, "Tsk, what a troublesome little devil."

Jiang Changtian blushed to the roots of his neck, and Lin Shuyun leaned in and bit his ear without any hesitation.

The meat I washed last night tasted so good.

Mo Yun, who was driving the carriage outside, plugged his ears with cotton.

Don't listen to anything inappropriate.

……

……

Shengjing.

In the backyard of the Zhang family, Zhang Xiucheng lay on the bed, wincing in pain.

His body was covered in dense red rashes, and his skin was scratched so badly it felt like it was about to rot, causing a burning pain.

"A bunch of quacks! How long has it been and you still can't cure the illness? I'll give you one more day. If you still can't come up with a solution, then you can all die!"

The two physicians were so frightened they trembled.

This disease is clearly "snake-like shingles," so why is it that the medicine they used had no effect at all?

Could it be poisoning? Everything about it is so potent!

The butler's voice rang out from outside the door, "My lord, the Grand Secretary requests your presence in the study."

Zhang Xiucheng's expression changed upon hearing this. "I understand. Tell my father to wait a moment. I'll change my clothes and come over."

After hearing the butler leave, Zhang Xiucheng gritted his teeth, put on his clothes, and went to the study in the front yard despite the pain.

As soon as you enter, a teacup is presented to you.

Zhang Xiucheng quickly dodged and knelt on the ground.

"Father, please calm down."

Despite being over sixty, Chief Minister Zhang's eyes remained sharp and piercing as he stared at Zhang Xiucheng. "You've been nowhere to be seen these past few days. Where have you been?"

Zhang Xiucheng lowered his head, his face calm. "I went to take care of some important matters, which made you worry, Father."

In reality, he was grinding his teeth in frustration; he was tormented by pain and itching all over his body.

"I, a member of the Zhang family, cannot ruin myself because of my love for my children."

"If it's your father, your son would never do it." Zhang Xiucheng gritted his teeth.

"Rise, what do you think of His Majesty's decision to allow Luming Academy to admit students exceptionally?" Chief Minister Zhang asked, picking up his teacup.

After considering his words carefully, Zhang Xiucheng said, "Based on my understanding of the Emperor, he probably wants to see if there are too many good-for-nothings among this year's students."

"I guess that's probably the case. The Emperor is determined to be a wise ruler. Apart from the time when he disregarded everything and made a woman of unknown origin his empress, he has never done anything out of line."

The Prime Minister nodded, then changed the subject, "It seems the Guan family has been making some moves lately?"

Zhang Xiucheng concealed the expression in his eyes, saying, "My son is busy with his own affairs and doesn't know anything about it."

……

……

Meanwhile, the Guan family.

Jingzhe and Jinshe appeared at the Guan family's residence almost simultaneously, both looking disheveled.

"What did you say? Something happened to my plain clothes?"

When Madam Guan heard that her daughter was in trouble, she fainted on the spot. The Guan family was in chaos. Madam Lin hurriedly took her mother-in-law to the backyard to fetch a doctor.

Originally, we didn't plan to tell the old lady this news, but unexpectedly, she suddenly came to the front yard.

Jingzhe looked full of regret, regretting that she had been so careless and that the old lady had heard the news, and hating the Zhang family.

"Golden Snake, is your information accurate? My nephew is still alive?"

Guan Xiuyu, the current head of the Guan family, looked at the golden snake with excitement.

These are people who work with his nephew Chang Tian; he recognizes them.

My nephew is my sister's life. As long as he's alive, my sister Guan Suyi will definitely be alright.

Moreover, the two of them came from Wuyun County at the same time, so perhaps the younger sister has already found her son.

The Chang family was loyal to the country; Heaven certainly wouldn't be so cruel.

Jin She knelt on the ground and said, "Yes, the young general is living in hiding in Wuyun County."

"This kid, it's good that he's alive, it's good that he's alive." Guan Xiuyu excitedly spun around in place.

Jin She lowered his head and said, "Lord Guan, there is something I have thought about and decided to tell you. Please ask everyone to leave."

Guan Xiuyu paused for a moment, then dismissed everyone.

The golden snake bit its lip and spoke as if it had made a decision.

"The young general married a woman surnamed Lin in the countryside, and that woman..."

……

……

"Great! I can spend the night outdoors again tonight!"

Old Xu jumped down from the carriage, looking quite energetic despite his old arms and legs.

We didn't make it to the inn again today, so we'll have to camp out in the wild.

Qingfeng and the others went hunting, while Xiugu and the others stayed behind to pack up.

The old butler brought over a pear. "Young Master Ting, here's a pear for you."

The pear smelled delicious, but he couldn't bear to eat it. He persuaded Jingfeng to eat the other one.

The herbal medicine seemed to be very effective; Chen Jingfeng's wounds were much better, and at least his fever had subsided.

Chen Ting wanted to eat it, but when she remembered that the pear belonged to Lin Shuyun, she didn't want to reach for it and listlessly opened her mouth.

“I won’t eat it. Uncle Chen, please don’t call me Young Master Ting anymore. Everyone knows I’m a woman now, so there’s nothing to hide.”

Xiaoqing happened to be nearby and said, "Old Steward, you can eat it yourself. I heard you coughing a bit; this pear can help with coughing."

Chen Ting turned to Xiao Qing and said, "Brother Xiao Qing, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have kept it from you that I'm a woman."

Xiaoqing didn't think there was anything wrong with it. "There's nothing to apologize for. It's your freedom. Besides, it's safer for a man to be out in the world."

"Brother Xiaoqing, you're so kind!"

"Brother Xiaoqing, you're so kind~"

Qin Niangzi imitated a line in a high-pitched voice.
