Since he needed a favor, Zheng Quchi smiled politely, not wanting to embarrass him, and simply explained his purpose: "It's like this, about that matter I asked Brother Liu to handle earlier..."

Liu Fengmian raised his almond-shaped eyes and smiled, a gentle breeze spreading across his face: "Oh, sister-in-law, if you have a request, I will certainly do my best. Actually, I have already found the person. I originally wanted to ask Wei Yao and the others to go to the palace to deliver a message to you, but I didn't expect you to have to make this trip in person."

Zheng Quchi was taken aback, but after understanding his meaning, his eyes suddenly brightened.

"The person has been found, is it true?"

Seeing her eager expression, Liu Fengmian didn't rush to explain: "Let's talk about this slowly. Standing at the gate is too conspicuous. Why don't you come with me into the mansion first, sister-in-law?"

Zheng Quchi naturally did not refuse. She paused while holding Yaomei's hand, then bent down and said gently to Yaomei, "Yaomei, greet him. This is Brother Liu."

The youngest sister was very obedient. She smiled at Liu Fengmian and said, "Brother Liu."

Liu Fengmian wasn't unaware of Sang Yaomei, nor was he deliberately ignoring her. It was just that Zheng Quchi had suddenly arrived at the Liu residence with a little girl by his side. This little girl seemed to have some issues, and since she hadn't mentioned anyone else, it would only cause him embarrassment and discomfort if he asked her rashly.

But since Zheng Quchi felt it was alright to introduce them, he said with a warm and sincere expression, "Hello, little sister! Which family do you belong to, such a lovely and well-behaved girl?"

Sang Yaomei didn't quite understand. She blinked her big eyes, tilted her head, and stared straight at Liu Fengmian. Her straightforward and frank gaze was very similar to Zheng Quchi's, but also somewhat different.

Those unmoving eyes looked dazed and confused.

Liu Fengmian immediately understood that the little girl had a disability and probably wasn't intellectually capable.

“She is my younger sister, and I also have an older brother.” Zheng Quchi said, then added, “This time, the reason for seeking a master to remove the curse is for her.”

Liu Fengmian suddenly looked at Zheng Quchi, his refined and handsome face slightly stunned. She was so frank and undisguised all of a sudden, probably because she was grateful for his help and also because she didn't want him to look at her sister with strange eyes.

This general's wife is certainly very protective of her own.

Liu Fengmian smiled kindly at Sang Yaomei and said, "Your sister-in-law is my sister, Liu's sister. You can come and play with your brother Liu whenever you have time. Your brother Liu knows a lot of things to play with."

Upon hearing the word "play," Sang Yaomei immediately understood.

“Play, okay, play! Little sister likes playing with Brother Liu,” she said happily.

Zheng Quchi tapped her nose helplessly: "You've met someone who can play with you, and you've already abandoned your second sister? So your second sister is gone?"

Upon hearing Zheng Quchi's teasing words, Sang Yaomei's expression changed immediately. She gripped Zheng Quchi tightly with her little hand and said nervously, "No, no, Yaomei likes Second Sister the most. Yaomei doesn't want to play anymore. Second Sister, please don't leave Yaomei behind."

Zheng Quchi's smile vanished. She knew that her younger sister must have been frightened just now, but because she was slow-witted and reacted slowly, she didn't even realize that she had been afraid and uneasy.

"Little sister, your second sister will never abandon you, never."

As she spoke, she reached out and lifted the person up, placing them on her shoulder.

She was strong, and even though her younger sister was no longer a child, she could still carry her with ease and without any difficulty.

Seeing the deep affection between the two sisters, Liu Fengmian understood how much Zheng Quchi valued her as her younger sister, but that wasn't the point. The point was...

His expression froze.

What's up with this general's wife? She looks so delicate and frail, how can she lift a child weighing dozens of kilograms with one arm? Looking at how easily she walks around, he felt that he probably wasn't as strong as her.

Zheng Quchi carried Yaomei and followed Liu Fengmian into the Liu residence. Yaomei's foot was fine. Before, when she couldn't move, Zheng Quchi had Lan Yue Sixi examine her. It was just that someone had pressed her acupoints, which temporarily blocked her blood flow and prevented her from moving.

Later, she had her younger sister slowly move her feet and start walking in small steps, and then she was able to move freely.

However, along the way, she was weak and had been poisoned by a Gu. Zheng Quchi felt that her muscles and blood had been activated, so he did not want her to be too tired and carried her.

On the way, Liu Fengmian kept glancing at Zheng Quchi out of the corner of his eye, and he didn't dare to speak as casually and frivolously as before. He was mainly worried that if he angered her, she could knock him out with one punch.

“Sister-in-law, that master usually doesn’t show his face. We have to go and see him in person.”

Calling him "sister-in-law" was his last act of defiance.

Zheng Quchi then wanted to ask more detailed questions: "Who is this master?"

Speaking of this master, Liu Fengmian narrowed his eyes slightly, as if recalling the scene of meeting him: "He is an extremely powerful person. I have searched many places and met many famous doctors, but none of them know how to cure the curse. In fact, I have never even heard of many of them. But this master said that he can solve our problem."

"Is he a doctor from Shengjing?"

"I'm not entirely sure, but he shouldn't be from Ye."

Judging from Liu Fengmian's description, it didn't sound very reliable. In addition, Zheng Quchi had never been very trusting of itinerant doctors. She asked, "Brother Liu, do you think this person is trustworthy?"

Regarding this, Liu Fengmian inexplicably believed it. He said with certainty, "It should be believable. You don't know how he commanded such a large following on the Golden Platform. The masses worshipped him. Even I, your brother, felt that he must be an extraordinary person. Besides, if he pretends to know what he doesn't, what's the point? Anyway, let's go and try it out first."
