The carriage did not slow down; instead, it sped away right before everyone's eyes.

Those around them saw each of them spit out a mouthful of blood, then lie motionless on the ground, and no one dared to approach them.

After a long while, a kind-hearted person, unable to bear seeing two lives lost, shouted loudly:

"Someone, please fetch a doctor. I'm going to report this to the authorities—"

The streets outside were a mess, but the fish in the pond, fast asleep inside, was completely unaware.

By the time she woke up and let Qin Mu out, it was already past noon.

Qin Mu left the space to study outside in order to adapt to the temperature.

He feared that once he got used to staying in the cave, he wouldn't be able to withstand the heat outside.

As soon as the fish came out of the pond, they also took out the grain to dry.

Not long after, there was a knock on the door.

She was a little puzzled, but still raised her voice and asked, "Who?"

The person knocking on the door heard the sound and said:

"Young lady, are you from Anping County? I am a medicine boy from Ren'an Hall."

Your husband was hit by a car and is currently in our clinic. He needs someone to take care of him.

As for the old man, he's gone. You'll have to go and remove his body.

Chi Yu, who was about to open the door, was speechless upon hearing this.

What is all this nonsense? What's with all this talk about officials coming and old men going?

Her husband was right next to her, and the old man had been dead for who knows how many years.

Because of these words, she didn't even want to open the door, but instead raised her voice and replied:

"I am indeed from Anping County, but you've mistaken me for someone else. There's no old man in my family!"

Upon hearing this, the young apprentice outside the door paused for a moment, then took a few steps back and looked around.

Finally, after confirming that he hadn't admitted his mistake, he said:

"Young lady, I'm certain that the person I'm looking for is the one living in this house."

Why don't you go with the younger one first and see if you recognize him?

Qin Mu had just finished spreading the grain on the mat when he heard this, so he went to open the door.

As soon as the door opened, the young apprentice was about to say something when suddenly his vision went black.

Knowing his own special status, Qin Mu took a few steps back and then said:

"I'm standing here perfectly fine. I wonder who is looking for my wife?"

The young apprentice stared blankly at Qin Mu. This...this was the husband of the young lady who had just spoken?

So, who is in the clinic?

He woke up midway and asked me to come here, for which I paid him five coins as a delivery fee.

After thinking for a moment, he said, "This gentleman, the one in the clinic, is Scholar Qi from Anping County."

An hour and a half ago, he and his father were hit by a carriage not far away.

The old man died not long after being carried to the clinic, and Qi Xiucai woke up briefly during the journey.

He sent me here to find someone, so I assumed that the young lady was his wife.

I'm so sorry, so very sorry!

Chi Yu was stunned when he heard this.

What does Qi Mingyu mean? Did he and his father get hit by a car, and then send the clinic staff to find her?

What does he want with her? Is she there to serve him?

Bah! Keep dreaming!

Also, what does Old Man Qi's death have to do with her?

We still need to retrieve the body? It's already a miracle they didn't grind that old man to dust.

What a pipe dream you're having!

Thinking this through his mind quickly, before she could even speak, Qin Mu said:

"We do know Scholar Qi, but our two families are enemies."

Whether he lives or dies is none of our business. Please leave!

Seeing that Qin Mu didn't seem to be lying, and that the beautiful woman in the courtyard had a mocking expression on her face, the young apprentice could only turn around and leave.

After Qin Mu closed the door, Chi Yu immediately asked her sister to come out.
