"Your Highness!"

When An Yi and An Wu saw Song Yanqing leave the mansion, they quickly went forward.

Song Yanqing said, "Anwu, go back and tell Fengyi that he should go and receive his punishment for spreading false information."

"And Lin Bai, he's been in Luzhou Prefecture for too long. His mother misses him terribly and wants him to return to the capital immediately. If he doesn't arrive in the capital within five days, he doesn't need to come back again!"

Song Yanqing then asked, "Where is the person who injured her now?"

After Lu Qiqi was injured, An Wu stayed by her side to protect her secretly. His orders were not to show himself unless absolutely necessary, so he naturally knew who the "she" Song Yanqing was talking about was.

An Wu said, "The assailant has been killed as ordered by Madam Feng. The one who gave the order was the second brother of the General of the Cavalry."

Song Yanqing pondered Feng Er's official rank. This man was really unremarkable. Otherwise, as the younger brother of the General of the Cavalry, how could he have secured a good official position in the court?

Song Yanqing said, "Since he dared to order the killing, let him experience this kind of danger. Cripple his limbs and leave him barely alive to breathe."

To cripple a sixth-rank official is more agonizing than killing him, both physically and psychologically.

Anwu accepted the order and withdrew.

An Yi led the horse to Song Yanqing and asked, "Young Master, shall we leave the city gate next?"

The city gates are closed. To leave the city, one must use their identity. Song Yanqing said, "I will leave the city as Lin Bai. You can follow me tomorrow."

An Yi's lips twitched, and he lit a candle in his heart for Lin Bai. The price he paid for a piece of gossip was far more than just a little.

If Minister Lin were to find out that Young Master Lin had disregarded the curfew and rushed out of the city gates overnight to return to the new capital, I wonder if he would be punished according to family rules.

Song Yanqing mounted his horse, with An Yi following closely behind. As night fell, Song Yanqing left the city gate and hurried back to the army to prepare for the departure.

Lin Bai, who was sleeping soundly in bed at the moment, had no idea that he was about to endure a month of hardship.

As soon as he and Gu Chen returned to the new capital, they were punished by their family. After resting for half a month, his mother arranged marriages for him every day, leaving him helpless and full of regret.

...

The next morning, Lu Qiqi woke up, washed up quickly, and then stored everything on the coffee table into her spatial storage.

If it weren't for this burden, Lu Qiqi would have thought she had just had a dream last night.

When the dream ends, the person is gone.

Lu Qiqi, who had just emerged from the space, took the silver needles and went to Madam Feng's courtyard.

She has been giving acupuncture to Madam Feng for the past few days.

Every day, Madam Feng received dietary supplements, medicinal supplements, acupuncture, and drank a cup of spiritual spring water from Lu Qiqi's space.

Madam Feng's health has improved significantly, and her complexion has begun to regain its rosy hue.

After Lu Qiqi finished giving Madam Feng acupuncture, she put the silver needles into her cloth bag.

With the help of Granny Cuizhu, Madam Feng got up from the bed, took Lu Qiqi's soft little hand in her warm hand, and said, "Child, thanks to you, if it weren't for you, Yu'er would be all alone in this world."

"I only hope that I can live a few more years so that I can send her off to get married, so that my time with her as her grandmother will not have been in vain."

Feng Yu'er stood to the side and said reproachfully, "Grandmother will surely live to be a hundred years old!"

Madam Feng was so angry when Guo revealed that Feng Yu'er had made a solemn vow that she would never discuss marriage until she had raised her younger brother to adulthood that she nearly died.

It's possible that Guo added fuel to the fire; otherwise, Old Madam Feng wouldn't have suffered such a severe attack of qi and blood, almost to the point of being beyond medical help.

Lu Qiqi also comforted her, "Don't worry, Madam Feng. You are in good health. If you take good care of yourself, you will definitely be able to see Yu'er get married and see her children, so that Yu'er can give you a great-grandchild."

After saying a few more words, Madam Feng rested. It's not just the acupuncturist who gets tired from administering acupuncture; the patient who is being needled also has to maintain a still posture, which is not easy either.

After Madam Feng fell asleep, Lu Qiqi and Feng Yu'er left the room.

The two left Madam Feng's courtyard and looked at the treetops swaying in the wind.

Lu Qiqi said, "Madam Feng is out of danger. I left some tasteless medicine. Give her one jar every day for seven days and she should be fine."

Upon hearing that Madam Feng was alright, Feng Yu'er was overwhelmed with emotion, and her throat began to choke up. "Qiqi, thank you. I really don't know what else to say but thank you. My grandmother is my most important relative. Thank you for keeping her by my side."

Lu Qiqi smiled faintly, "Let's not talk about these things. Things will get better from now on."

Lu Qiqi then took out a peace charm and handed it to Feng Yuer, saying, "This is a gift from A Yao. I hope you will have peace and good fortune in the future."

After saying that, Lu Qiqi left the courtyard and walked towards the outside of the Feng residence.

Feng Yu'er gripped the amulet tightly, watching Lu Qiqi's disappearing figure before turning back to the courtyard.

...

Meanwhile, things weren't so easy for Second Master Feng, who had been kicked out of the mansion by Old Madam Feng.

He was merely a sixth-rank official with no real power; as Feng Yu'er said, his official position was bought for him by General Feng.

His salary was not high to begin with, and over the years he had maintained a respectable appearance by relying on the silver deposited in the public treasury by his elder brother, the General of the Cavalry.

The Guo family were merchants, and they brought a considerable dowry with them.

But they've spent a lot of money over the years, and now that they've been evicted, they've bought another house, and their savings are dwindling.

Master Feng goes to restaurants to drink and win people's hearts, paving the way for his own advancement, but he can't go to Zuixianju, the best restaurant in Luzhou Prefecture.

We can only go to slightly lower-end restaurants.

That day, Master Feng left the restaurant drunk again, and was helped back to his residence by a servant. He even vomited a puddle of filth at a corner of the alley.
