They were in charge of being beautiful, and she was in charge of taking the hits.

After delivering the last order, Wu Ziyan got off the carriage by the street. Not wanting to arrive empty-handed, he prepared to buy some food. Just then, a horse-drawn carriage sped towards them.

Wu Ziyan's pupils dilated as the carriage drew closer and closer to her. By the time Mo Baiyun noticed, it was too late. Mo Baiyun's nails were digging into his flesh. He had finally started to like her a little; he didn't want it to end so soon!

Mo Baiyun and Sima Lingchuan shouted at the same time, "Master!" "Ziyan!"

But the carriage was moving too fast, and the driver couldn't stop it. The horses were neighing!

Wu Ziyan felt like he was about to die. If this horse crashed into him, he wouldn't even have to wait for the game to end or for his brain to die; he would just kick the bucket right there.

But then the system announced: "Hit him, conquer male lead number four, Situ Chuqiu." This time, he didn't even get a reward notification, probably because he had too many tasks piling up.

Wu Ziyan frowned, her face full of reluctance. Did this system want to kill her?

She had been trying to leap aside to dodge, but then she felt an invisible force pushing her forward. She cursed and closed her eyes, resigned to her fate.

After a while, she opened her eyes. The horse had been stopped by someone, a dashing young woman.

"Hmm?" Then two more heads poked out from the carriage, their faces showing anxiety. They looked very similar. Situ Chufeng said, "I'm sorry, I startled you, young lady."

Wu Ziyan stammered. If she hadn't been mentally prepared, she would have wet herself with fear. She patted her chest and said, "It's alright, just be more careful next time."

She kept saying she was fine, but her legs were already trembling, and her mind was completely blank. [Damn this broken system!]

At this moment, Mo Baiyun and Sima Lingchuan's anxious voices came from inside the carriage: "Master, Ziyan, are you alright!"

Wu Ziyan gave them a reassuring look, indicating that everything was alright. Wu Ziyan glanced at the carriages and horses opposite, which were covered in dust, as if they had traveled a long way. They were also unfamiliar faces, so she guessed they were returning from out of town. She didn't think much of it.

Besides, all I saw just now were women, so where did this fourth male lead she's trying to seduce come from?

Wu Ziyan didn't think about it. After resting her numb legs, she still walked with a limp and continued to buy some food. Mo Baiyun called out, "Do you want me to go with you?"

"No need, you can park the car and go for a walk," she called out.

Since Wu Ziyan insisted that no one follow, Mo Baiyun didn't go with them and instead strolled around with Sima Lingchuan in a relaxed manner.

Wu Ziyan carried the gifts alone and walked towards the Han residence. After walking for a long time, she arrived at the Han residence and carefully looked around. The gate of the residence was not overly decorated; it was just a simple small gate. It did not seem like the residence of a retired official. Wu Ziyan picked up the door knocker and knocked on the door.

After a while, footsteps came from inside, and Han Yuxiu opened the door.

Upon seeing Wu Ziyan, Han Yuxiu frowned and, without inviting her in, asked, "What are you doing here? You're still up to no good, trying to follow me to my residence after taking liberties with me!"

"Um... Miss Han, oh no, Young Master Han, you must have misunderstood something. I'm here to see Physician Han." [With this personality, getting even 10% favorability from him will be a bit difficult!]

"Mother isn't here." He said, and then tried to close the door.

"Hey, wait a minute!" Wu Ziyan was already halfway stuck in the doorway, grinning mischievously.

Han Yuxiu couldn't stand her attitude. He let go of the door, crossed his arms, and said, "What is it that you have to ask my mother?"

"Sigh, these aren't the medicinal herbs from last time. I checked the profits and sent them to her. There are still other things to discuss with her." She gestured towards the food and fruit in her hand. As the saying goes, you can't hit a smiling face.

"She's not here!" Han Yuxiu replied with the same "you can't come in" expression.

Wu Ziyan simply stuffed the gift into Han Yuxiu's arms and entered the mansion. Looking around, he saw no carved beams and painted rafters, no gardens or landscapes, just ordinary things. There were herb racks everywhere, and not even a servant.

"Where has she been all this time?" she asked casually.

"Why should I tell you!" Han Yuxiu, clutching those things, was furious.

"Hey, you little rascal, you're still holding a grudge, aren't you? Anyway, there's no one around, you believe me or not... hehe." Wu Ziyan stretched out his two hands as if making claws, his expression twisted.

Han Yuxiu stepped back against the door, dropping a gift box on the ground: "What do you want to do? This is my residence!"

Seeing that she had teased him enough, Wu Ziyan stopped and resumed her usual serious expression: "Tell me quickly where your mother went. I don't have time to joke with you."

Seeing Wu Ziyan's sudden serious expression, which didn't seem like she was joking, Han Yuxiu knew something must have happened. He turned his head away from her and replied, "At the General's Mansion."

Wu Ziyan sighed, "What kind of mess is this? I came over from the General's Mansion during the day, and now I have to go back. It's exhausting."

She patted Han Yuxiu on the shoulder, but Han Yuxiu avoided her hand. Wu Ziyan said, "Thank you, Young Master Han. Please give this gift to her later. I'll go to the General's Mansion to find her."

Thinking back carefully, when she saw her elder brother, Changsun Bozong, during the day, he smiled earnestly and did not show any worry. It shouldn't be Wu Chengji who was sick. Then who could it be? Or rather, who has such great influence that they can get a retired Korean physician to personally go out and make a diagnosis?

Then I thought, the carriage that almost hit her was also heading in the direction of the General's Mansion. Was something wrong?

No, she thought that seeing Physician Han wasn't a big deal, just to discuss the later formula and business matters, but the General's Mansion was, after all, her eldest sister's place, so she still needed to go and see her.

I borrowed a horse from the Han family, mounted it, and rode at full speed. [Damn, it really bounces my butt off!]

Han Yuxiu watched her retreating figure from the doorway. Although she was short, she possessed a unique heroic air about her when riding a horse. He watched her walk away before closing the gate.

Wu Ziyan didn't stop for a moment on the road and soon arrived at the entrance of the General's Mansion.

Sure enough, the dusty carriage was also parked in front of the General's Mansion. She hadn't noticed it before, but now, thinking about it carefully, it must be one of Wu Chengji's men, which made her even more panicked. [Could it be my unlucky fourth male lead?]

There was no one to greet her at the gate, so she went straight in. People inside were rushing around, and one of them carrying a basin of bloody water almost bumped into her. She dodged to the side and asked, "What happened?"

"The general is seriously injured!" The voice was very anxious. He quickly took the basin of water and left, and someone else carried another basin of clean water into it.

Wu Ziyan's head was spinning. What was going on? She had just found an ally, such a powerful figure to rely on, but her older sister was perfectly fine during the day, how could she be seriously injured!

She walked faster and faster, eventually jogging, running in the direction the person carrying the water basin had come from. Changsun Bozong, on the other side, saw her running so fast and wondered what had happened that made her so anxious.
