Qin Xiaozhou desperately wanted to see that person. "What kind of woman is she? Does she have any unique characteristics?"

Lu Yunfeng, his face grim, asked incredulously, "You don't believe me?"

"What does this have to do with whether I believe you or not?" Qin Xiaozhou was going crazy. She struggled to get out of bed. She had too many questions in her mind and couldn't wait any longer. "Quick, take me to see her."

Grief filled Lu Yunfeng's eyes. He pressed her onto the bed, knelt down, and took her hand, pleadingly saying, "I've already told you about my encounter with her. She fled to the county town, and when I was distributing porridge, I gave her a place to stay. That's all, Xiaozhou. Please believe me, she's not my mistress, and I would never..."

Qin Xiaozhou was frantic and interrupted him, "I know, I know, I just want to see her. Lu Yunfeng, take me to see her."

"You're clearly not trusting me!" Lu Yunfeng suddenly stood up, turned around and left, "You should stay home and take care of your leg."

Qin Xiaozhou's eyes were filled with disbelief. "No, why wouldn't I believe you? Lu Yunfeng, Lu Yunfeng, stop right there! I really have something very important to tell her! It's extremely important!"

Lu Yunfeng stopped at the door. "What is it?"

Qin Xiaozhou opened her mouth, then choked. How was she supposed to explain something like time travel? "...Uh, it's something very important!"

Lu Yunfeng gave a self-deprecating laugh, shook his head, his eyes filled with unconcealed sorrow and disappointment, and walked away without looking back.

What's wrong with this guy?! Qin Xiaozhou awkwardly got off the bed, wanting to hop on one foot to chase after him, but was stopped by Zhao Fang who had rushed over. "Xiaozhou, I've already asked Dayun and found out that he and that woman are really innocent. You should take good care of yourself and not overthink things. You are a great benefactor to our family. I will not let Dayun take a concubine or let another woman into the family."

Qin Xiaozhou felt weak, her shoulders slumped. "Mother-in-law, I really just want to see that woman. I have something to ask her."

Zhao Fang assumed that she was still heartbroken and wanted to cause trouble for others, so she comforted her, "Okay, okay, I know, I know. You're not unreasonable, but we need to heal our legs first. We'll have a chance to see each other again in the future."

"Sigh~" Qin Xiaozhou sighed and lay down on the bed, his thoughts complicated. This place was very strange. Why would so many people come here one after another? As far as he knew, including himself, there were at least three people here so far, unless this sewing machine was left behind by the legitimate daughter of the prime minister's family of the previous dynasty who had died long ago.

But she can't see Gu Yunyao now; she's in the county town, right there.

Qin Xiaozhou sat up. "I want to write a letter. Mother-in-law, go and get me some paper and pen."

Zhao Fang couldn't persuade her otherwise, so she went to Lu Yunxing's study to find a pen, ink, paper and inkstone. Qin Xiaozhou picked up the pen and wrote down her experiences before and after her time travel, asking if the other party knew the reason. After a while, she crumpled it into a ball and threw it into the charcoal brazier. She had acted impulsively. If the woman in the county town hadn't time traveled, wouldn't that have exposed her secret?

Even if Gu Yunyao really is from another world, people are treacherous. How can I guarantee that others are good people and won't want to get rid of me?!

Zhao Fang came in and asked cautiously, "Your cousin is here. He's in the orchard carrying chickens and ducks to the county town. Have you finished writing the letter? I'll have him deliver it to you."

Qin Xiaozhou shook her head, "No need, there's nothing to write." Then she asked, "Mother-in-law, could you ask someone to pass on a message and ask Doctor Li to come over and check how much longer my leg needs to last?"

Zhao Fang comforted her for a couple of minutes and then went out to find a peddler. Since the autumn harvest last year, the disaster year had passed and everyone's lives had improved. Even peddlers had started traveling from village to village. A peddler from Guojia Village would come every ten days. He would travel from Guojia Village in the north, pass through Wangjia Village, and detour to Lijiaba and Zhaojiataizi. Whenever relatives had something to say, everyone would like to buy a needle or thread and have the peddler deliver the message.

The next day, Li Changpu and Lu Yu arrived. Li Changpu explained, "I know about my nephew's wife's leg injury, and my wife is also thinking about her mother, so my master asked me to come."

It's not easy for married women to return home. With the New Year just over, Lu Yu had no reason to go home, so this was an opportunity.

Li Changpu changed the dressing on your leg. "The bone is healing very well, but it still needs time. Take good care of yourself and don't move around too much."

Qin Xiaozhou grabbed him anxiously, "How much longer?"

"At least two months." After saying that, he went to Wang Lan's room next door. Lu Yu accompanied Wang Lan, holding the old woman's withered hand. After all, she was old and had suffered a serious injury. Even with good care and rest, Wang Lan still visibly lost weight.

Tears welled in Lu Yu's eyes. "Mother, please be alright, okay?"

Wang Lan's eyes were cloudy and her cheeks were slightly sunken. She patted her daughter's hand and said, "I'm fine. Your sister-in-law takes good care of me. She makes sure I have enough to eat and wear, and she takes care of my bodily needs. I'm old now, and I'm just causing her trouble. I'm no longer useful."

Two years ago, Wang Lan broke her leg and was taken care of by her daughter. This time, it's her daughter-in-law who is taking care of her, both with the same dedication. This makes Wang Lan very gratified. At her age and with a broken leg, most people in the village are lucky to even have food to eat. Who else is as fortunate as her to be taken care of like this by her daughter-in-law?

"Mother, what are you saying!" Zhao Fang rushed into the house. "You are the best mother-in-law in all the surrounding villages. When I gave birth to my children, you were always busy taking care of me. Now it's my turn to take care of you."

Zhao Fang gave birth to four children. During the first three postpartum periods, the Lu family was doing well. Wang Lan took care of her during her postpartum period, bathing and washing the babies' diapers every day, and stewing chicken and making soup for her. She stayed in bed for a full month before Wang Lan allowed her to get out of bed. This was one of the best treatments in the village. Even her brother and father said she was lucky to have such a good mother-in-law.
