After saying this, she handed the prescription to Heyuan, her face showing reluctance. "It's getting late, sister, you should go back now and avoid causing gossip. If you miss your aunt and sisters, you can come back another day."
"Yes, take care, sister."
As she watched the Bai family carriage disappear into the distance, she stepped into the courtyard and heard a shout.
"Someone has fallen into the water..."
"Help! Someone has fallen into the water!"
Shen Yu ran towards the sound and saw a group of people crying and shouting by the river.
