Jiang Ting shook her head, feeling extremely guilty and heartbroken, because it was all because of her.

"Cousin, get up first. Mother, please don't say anything either."

As soon as Song Zhili finished speaking, Jiang Ting stood up. She dared not disobey Song Zhili.

When Hu Cuicui saw her get up, she looked at Song Zhili apologetically and asked, "Ali, is Mother's leg alright?"

Song Zhili gently shook her head. Although her injury looked serious, it wasn't actually that serious. It was just a dislocated bone and some superficial skin injuries.

As long as she straightens her bones and rests for a while, her leg will heal.

"There's nothing wrong. Just lie down and don't move. I'm going to help you put your dislocated bones back in place."

Once Song Zhili saw that Hu Cuicui was lying down, she began to help Hu Cuicui reset her bones. He Miaomiao and Jiang Ting stood by watching, grimacing. Although Hu Cuicui didn't feel any pain, the two of them looked like they were in a lot of pain.

"Alright, Mother, you should lie in bed and rest. Cousin, come out with me."

Song Zhili wanted to know what had happened, how could someone suffer such serious injuries in Peach Blossom Village?

Jiang Ting glanced at Hu Cuicui, then turned and walked out. Outside, her eyes were still red, and she had a pitiful expression that even made Song Zhili feel a little protective.

"Cousin, tell me what exactly happened?"

Jiang Ting walked to a chair and sat down, then told Song Zhili and the others the whole story.

It turned out that they were going back to Peach Blossom Village today to pick up some things, but on the way, their carriage was suddenly stopped by several men on the road.

The people opposite were also in carriages, and several men were riding horses.

The carriage suddenly stopped, and Hu Cuicui lifted the curtain to look outside. She saw that their carriage had been stopped by someone, and she asked the person what they wanted and why they had stopped their carriage.

Upon inquiry, Hu Cuicui and Jiang Ting learned the purpose of the visit. It turned out that when they were in Anyang County, they saw Jiang Ting, and their young master had taken a liking to her beauty.

He had a lingering thought about it and followed her all the way. Because he had connections, he was quite bold and wanted to kidnap Jiang Ting. But Hu Cuicui wouldn't allow it; she kept Jiang Ting behind her the whole time.

Their coachman also knew martial arts, so they started fighting. Hu Cuicui then pulled Jiang Ting to find a place to hide temporarily.

The other side had a large number of people and was in a strong position. Although the coachman was skilled in martial arts, the young master's men were also quite good at fighting, so he quickly found himself at a disadvantage.

He was soon wounded. This place was not far from Peach Blossom Village. After firing a signal flare, he continued to fight those people.

The young master's gaze remained fixed on Jiang Ting. While everyone else was fighting, he quietly approached Hu Cuicui, Jiang Ting's friend, and pulled her away.

When Hu Cuicui saw this, she also grabbed Jiang Ting's other arm.

When Jiang Ting saw that the young man was holding her other arm, she panicked and bit him. The young man, in pain, let go of her arm.

Afterwards, Hu Cuicui tightly protected Jiang Ting behind her, and the two ran towards Peach Blossom Village.

Upon seeing the two fleeing men, the young master instantly became enraged. He climbed onto the carriage and ordered the driver to give chase.

The coachman was moving very fast. When Hu Cuicui heard the sound of horses' hooves behind her, she instinctively pushed Jiang Ting out, but then she lost her balance and fell to the ground as well.

At this moment, the carriage ran over Hu Cuicui. When the young master saw Hu Cuicui, who was an eyesore, he glared angrily at her on the ground and even ordered his men to kill her.

In his eyes, Hu Cuicui was just a peasant woman, so it wouldn't matter if he killed her.

Jiang Ting then noticed that Hu Cuicui had fainted from the pain. She got up from the ground and quickly ran towards Hu Cuicui.

Just as the young master's men were about to attack Hu Cuicui and the others, their helpers finally arrived. These were the secret guards that He Chengjing had previously placed in Peach Blossom Village.

They rushed over as soon as they saw the signal flare, and with their help, the situation instantly turned around. Seeing that things were not going well, the young master secretly slipped away while they were fighting.

By the time the guards discovered him, he had already run far away. They also saw that Hu Cuicui was injured. Their first thought was to take them to the county town, but Hu Cuicui woke up and insisted on returning to Peach Blossom Village. So the guards had no choice but to send her back to Peach Blossom Village.

At the same time, they also sent messages to Song Zhili and He Chengjing.

After learning all this, Song Zhili's expression became much more serious. She wondered who the man was. He shouldn't be from Anyang County. It could be said that no one in the counties near He Zhixuan's fiefdom dared to offend them.

There is only one possibility: they are either passing through, or they came from other counties or prefectures.

"Go and check it out. I need to know the results as soon as possible."

As soon as He Chengjing gave the order, Qingfeng and Qingzhu immediately withdrew to investigate the matter. When they saw that He Chengjing's expression had changed, they knew that he must be angry.

At the same time, they both thought to themselves, "Who is this blind fool who dares to provoke their mistress?"

Song Zhili and her group stayed in Peach Blossom Village for the next few days. In the evening, Song Zhili told Xia Momo about Hu Cuicui's situation and asked her to have Song Ziyuan investigate there to see if there was any news.

At the same time, she also told Xia Momo about the wedding date that He Miaomiao and Cui Xiaoliu planned to have.

That evening, Xia Momo told Song Ziyuan about the situation. When Song Ziyuan heard that Hu Cuicui was injured, he immediately became restless and wanted to prepare a carriage to go back and visit her, but Xia Momo stopped him.

Song Zhili guessed that if she told Song Ziyuan about this, he would definitely be anxious to come back.

“Ziyuan, don’t rush back. Ali said that Mother is not seriously ill, just a slight dislocation of her leg, which will be fine after some rest. The most important thing now is to find out who that person is. We just got back not long ago, and it wouldn’t be good for you to leave again.”

Xia Momo persuaded him, which was also Song Zhili's idea. Song Ziyuan thought about it carefully and also felt that Xia Momo's words made sense. So he took Xia Momo's phone and sent a few messages to Song Zhili, and then asked Song Zhili to send a few videos of Hu Cuicui.

When Song Zhili received Song Ziyuan's message, she went inside and recorded a few videos for him and sent them to him. Afterward, she sent him a voice message, telling him to stay there and that she would take good care of Hu Cuicui.

Upon receiving the message from Song Zhili, Song Ziyuan abandoned his thoughts of returning home. Finding that person was indeed the most crucial task at present.
