“It’s really strange, why won’t they even let us offer our thanks? There really aren’t many who do good deeds without leaving their names these days…”

The follower was still curiously muttering to himself.

Chou Chou, however, exceptionally stood his ground, not rebutting the other’s words, and looked in the direction of Liu Sisi’s departure for a long time without a word.

When he inadvertently looked down, he saw a bundle on the ground. He subconsciously bent over and picked it up.

That package seemed to have been left behind by the woman who had saved him!

He shook it gently to open the bundle, and immediately, a stack of writing paper inside was revealed. After glancing through it for a moment, he was unable to recognize eight out of ten characters on it.

Another follower scolded the coachman, “What kind of driving is this? If you had hit our Young Master, even ten of you couldn’t compensate for it…”

The coachman hastened to nod and bow, “Yes, yes… Thank you for your magnanimity, Young Master, it was my fault for not seeing clearly and bumping into the Young Master. I hope for your forgiveness…”

“Forgiveness can make up for your fault? Who’s in the carriage? Come out…”

–

Liu Sisi clutched her chest and rushed all the way until she turned a corner and stopped, leaning against the wall.

“Cough, cough, cough… Puh!”

Accompanied by a fit of violent coughs, a mouthful of fresh blood sprayed out from her mouth.

She glanced at the blood shakily, silently took her sleeve to wipe her mouth, readjusted her veiled hat that had gone askew, and staggered in the direction of her home.

But after taking only a few steps, the scenery in front of her eyes began to wobble. Amidst the spinning world, she could no longer support herself, and with darkness enveloping her vision, she collapsed to the ground and lost consciousness.

Through the haze, it seemed like someone was moving in front of her eyes.

She wanted to open her eyes, but her eyelids felt as heavy as a thousand pounds, and she just couldn’t open them.

An elderly voice came, “She must have suffered internal injuries due to the collision and needs to rest with soup medicine for about a year or half. However, these injuries are not the main concern. The most important issue is the complex poison in her body. With my limited abilities, I fear the poison would have already spread and taken her life before being cured. Therefore…”

A young male voice followed swiftly, “Martial Uncle, what do you mean by that? Isn’t this, isn’t this some kind of skin disease she has?”

“What skin disease? Only quacks would think this is a venereal disease. Humph! No wonder your Master never dares to let you wander the common society alone. With your half-baked medical skills, it would be good if you don’t end up killing a healthy person! Look closely.”

The elderly male voice continued, “Look at this, these poison sores are certainly not venereal disease, but a manifestation of a weird poison. This woman must have been poisoned by someone, and judging by the looks of it, she’s been poisoned for nearly three months now. The fact that she’s still alive after being poisoned with such a weird substance is nothing short of a miracle…”

Whatever the elderly voice said next, Liu Sisi could no longer hear clearly.

Her consciousness lingered on the phrase “poisoned for three months”!

How could she be poisoned?

What kind of poison was it?

Who was poisoning her?

What was the other party’s aim?

Questions followed one after another, making her unable to help but laugh.

She had never been adept at those manipulative games of life, not even realizing she had been poisoned instead of being ill! Even the so-called smallpox pandemic initially could have been fake!

But the smallpox pandemic had been diagnosed by several imperial physicians, so who could have the power to make these imperial physicians lie, and who could have the ability? There were only a few in the entire Great Zhao.

It was precisely because there were only a few who could do this that the answer seemed almost ready to reveal itself! The realization sent a chill down Liu Sisi’s spine, and she refused to let herself think any further!

Waiting until she adjusted her mood and opened her eyes, the first and most obvious sensation was a warm and comfortable feeling all over her body. She looked around and found herself lying in a quaint house with a charcoal fire burning inside, no wonder she had slept so soundly.

“Madam, you’ve woken up? That is truly wonderful! My young master has come by twice, and seeing that Madam did not awaken, he turned back again. Please lie down, I, Ms. Gao, will go inform my young master!”

The chattering little maid didn’t wait for Liu Sisi to speak and rattled off a long string of words.

Before Liu Sisi could understand what was going on, the little maid dashed out like a whirlwind, shortly after a gust of cold wind blew in along with a young man.

The man was dressed in maroon clothing, a color that not only looked good on him but also accentuated his handsome features, giving him an enchanting air, especially those upturned brows which captured the soul, making it impossible to look away after just one glance.

Upon entering the door, he immediately cast his gaze upon Liu Sisi, smiling without a word, and gracefully walked to the bed where she lay, sitting down openly on a chair, his lips tilting up in a smile without a hint of reserve about the impropriety of men and women mingling.

“Madam truly has a large fortune to end up in the hands of I, the Young Master! I don’t know whether to call it your luck or misfortune! However, it seems you have no other choice.”

Liu Sisi struggled to sit up, only to move her wounds and felt pain as if falling apart with every motion.

“This young master…”

“Madam may call me Young Master Wuxin.” Young Master Wuxin suddenly unfolded his folding fan in his hand and started to wave it about.

The corners of Liu Sisi’s mouth twitched. What was the point of waving a folding fan on such a cold winter day?

“Young Master Wuxin, how come I am here?”

Her memory had absolutely no record of how she came to be in this place.

“Oh! This matter, when spoken of, is a long story. This began half a year ago.”

Young Master Wuxin waved his folding fan as a little maid hurriedly brought him a cup of light tea, apparently prepared for a long talk.

“Speaking of half a year ago, I was perfectly content staying in the mountain valley, occasionally causing some mischief with the medicinal plants, living quite cozily. That day, as usual, I went early to the medicinal field. I had long set my eyes on the seven-star begonia in Senior Sister Seven’s garden, over five hundred seventy years old. Just as I was about to make my move, I was caught by Senior Sister Seven. Then, I was in trouble! Senior Sister Seven was easy to talk to on any day, but when it came to medicinal materials, she wouldn’t budge an inch…”

Once Young Master Wuxin opened his mouth, he kept on talking endlessly without taking a single breath.

Liu Sisi began by listening intently, and though she tried several times to interrupt him, she was unsuccessful.

As he went on, his topic shifted from digging up whatever medicinal plants to later causing a scene in front of his martial Sect ancestor. Unexpectedly, an incident occurred in the Sect right at that moment; he just happened to stumble upon it. In the end, although his Master pleaded for him, he was unceremoniously kicked out of Shenlong Valley by his Martial Uncle…
