Upon hearing the sound, Old Lady Zhu came to Liu's side, parted Xixi's swaddling clothes, rubbed her hands together to warm them, and then touched her little face.

"Are you cold? Your face is so cold."

Upon hearing this, Liu looked around at the clothes worn by the passersby and noticed that they were still wearing thin summer clothes.

They didn't wear cotton-padded jackets like the others.

"Mother, I don't see that the other people are wearing much either!"

Hearing the conversation between Old Lady Zhu and Madam Liu, the others also gathered around to check on Xixi's condition.

Everyone reached out and touched Xixi's little face, and found that everyone's body temperature was the same when they touched Xixi.

"Jiayan, do you know what's going on?" Liu looked at Sun with a panicked expression, placing all her hopes on her.

Sun stretched out two fingers to feel Xixi's pulse, but found that her pulse was very weak.

"Mother, Xixi's pulse is very weak. We should have the doctor in the city examine her properly."

Lacking sufficient knowledge, she dared not rashly determine her niece's condition, and could only look nervously at Old Lady Zhu.

This time, everyone followed Chen Xiang into the city. Now that this has happened, Grandma Zhu had no choice but to come to Chen Xiang and report her granddaughter's situation truthfully.

At this moment, Chen Xiang and the escorts were changing out of their official robes and into ordinary people's clothes. After hearing what Old Lady Zhu said, they looked around with difficulty and gave her a worried reminder.

"Grandma Zhu, the officials from the county government have already seen you. If you split up, you might run into each other and risk your lives."

"We are no match for the city officials for the time being. I suggest we wait until we sell the cotton before we go to get your granddaughter medical treatment."

"No, Xixi can't wait that long, Lord Chen, I beg you, please let us go and see a doctor for Xixi!"

Grandma Zhu decisively rejected Chen Xiang's suggestion and knelt down in front of him, pleading bitterly.

Upon seeing this, Chen Xiang quickly helped Grandma Zhu up from the ground, his attitude remaining firm.

"Grandma Zhu, you can't risk the lives of the rest of the Zhu family just to save your granddaughter."

Upon hearing Chen Xiang's words, Zhu Chenfeng stepped forward and was the first to express his opinion, "I am willing to take the risk for Xixi."

"I'm willing too."

After Zhu Chenfeng stepped forward, the rest of the people also stood up to express their opinions, and even Pei Sining came to Chen Xiang's side to remind him.

"Lord Chen, have you ever heard of some children who are born lucky stars, always managing to escape danger on their journey? Do you think it's due to their own abilities?"

"No, Xixi is Xixi. She's not anyone's lucky star. She's my granddaughter, the darling of the Zhu family."

Grandma Zhu didn't want her granddaughter to live with the title of "lucky star"; she only wanted her granddaughter to grow up healthy and happy.

She doesn't need to take on any responsibility; even if her granddaughter is nothing, she will still be the Zhu family's darling.

Chen Xiang was surprised by the Zhu family's resolute decision and sighed with difficulty, "Alright then! I'll have Zhu Wen take you to see a doctor, and we'll meet at the South Gate after that."

"If you don't show up by 5 AM, then we'll have no choice but to leave Lujia Town, understand?"

"Understood! Thank you, Lord Chen."

Grandma Zhu excitedly kowtowed to Chen Xiang, then turned around and pulled Liu and Sun away from the group.

Seeing this, Zhu Wen followed closely behind the three of them, running towards the clinic on the street.

Inside the space, Xixi saw her family constantly bowing and scraping to Jiecha because of her, and she instantly felt wronged, sitting on the ground and crying loudly.

After crying for a while, she finally mustered her strength, wiped away her tears, and looked at the various images that gradually appeared on the walls of the space.

Each scene is marked with its source, including the treasury of the county government in Lujia Town, the private treasury of the emperor's concubines, and the treasury in the home of corrupt officials.

In addition to the silver treasury, there were various granaries, warehouses, kitchens, pastures, and other places.

Xi Xi didn't understand why there were these images around her, and curiously wandered around in front of them.

As she curiously studied the images, she unexpectedly saw Zhu Yanyan lying comfortably in a luxuriously decorated room.

She was comfortably bathing in the tub, with no marks on her body from when she entered the space.

How strange, why is this? Why is her body so intact, without a single scratch?

After Zhu Yanyan finished washing herself, she heard a report from the maid outside the door.

"Goddess, Master has instructed me to report to you that the people from Lujia Village have already entered the city."

"Understood, I will go out in a moment."

Zhu Yanyan, wearing undergarments, walked around the screen and came to the long dresses hanging in various colors.

She picked out a long red dress, put it on, and walked out of the room with a victor's smile.

They're doomed this time.

Guided by her maid, Zhu Yanyan met the obese magistrate again, but this time he had changed from being arrogant to being humble.

Zhu Yanyan ignored the magistrate's fawning expression, swept her long robe aside, and sat down in a chair with an arrogant look.

"The goddess is indeed powerful. I went to Lujia Village and found that frost has indeed formed there. It seems that the weather is about to change."

To curry favor with Zhu Yanyan, the magistrate accepted the tea offered by the maid, placed it on the table, and said obsequiously.

Zhu Yanyan sneered as she picked up her teacup and slowly said, "Since the people from Lujia Village have come to the city, then bring two people over for me. One is named Wen Xiuying, and the other is named Zhu Bowen."

"Who are these two people?" The county magistrate was somewhat surprised by Zhu Yanyan's request and asked curiously.

Zhu Yanyan took a sip of her tea and replied with a slight smile, "They are my parents."

She was going to bring these two back and show them how she would crush the Zhu family.

The magistrate immediately understood and instructed his advisor, "Did you hear me? Go and fetch the goddess's parents right now."

Upon hearing this, the clerk, covered in wounds, turned and left with a limp.

Only after the advisor left did the magistrate sit down in the chair next to Zhu Yanyan and ask her questions out of curiosity.

"Goddess, what are the plans next?"

"Now that they've entered the city, let's ambush them in the woods after they've sold their cotton."

Zhu Yanyan's gaze was as vicious as if it had been coated with poison, and her face was filled with a mocking expression.

It seems she was right; someone in the Zhu family must have been familiar with the plot to successfully avoid the originally planned danger.

Since this person knows everything, she has no choice but to launch a surprise attack and eliminate these cannon fodder who deserve to die anyway.

She refused to believe that the Zhu family would be so lucky this time, having spent half their lifespan just to regain access to the space.

What she didn't expect was that Xixi had already seen through her entire plan, and angrily clenched her little fists.

"She's angry, Xixi is so angry."

Xi Xi's voice was so loud that the space trembled, and even she herself was shocked and rushed towards the scene behind her.

The tiny body passed through space and entered the scene, successfully entering the county government's storeroom.

The county government's storeroom was very large, covering over a thousand square meters, and its shelves were filled with all sorts of daily necessities.

From large items like cotton quilts and clothes for winter to small items like coal and stoves for winter.
