Throughout the day, Fu Man'er felt restless and uneasy.
She had originally come with Lu Sheng to buy things for their wedding, but she kept spacing out, which made Lu Sheng very uneasy.
"Man'er, are you feeling unwell?" Lu Sheng asked with concern.
"No." Fu Man'er shook her head. "I don't feel unwell, but I just feel like something's inexplicably wrong with me."
As she spoke, she placed her hand on her chest, feeling a sense of panic that left her feeling helpless.
"That's enough for today, let's go home first." Lu Sheng quickly instructed the driver to turn the carriage around and go back.
Fu Man'er looked at her with guilt, "Sister Lu Sheng, I'm sorry."

When she first went out, she was able to muster up some energy to talk to Lu Sheng and offer him advice.
But the further she went, the less she could concentrate, and the feeling of panic made her keep spacing out.
Lu Sheng shook his head. "Don't say sorry. Your health is the most important thing."
"Should we go see a doctor first?" She felt that Fu Man'er didn't look well.
"No need, I probably slept too late last night." As she spoke, Fu Man'er yawned, her eyes becoming moist.
"I'll go back and get some sleep, maybe I'll feel better. Once I'm refreshed today, I'll definitely be with you tomorrow."
After thinking it over and over, Fu Man'er could only come up with this reason: going to bed late and getting up early led to her being out of energy.
"Okay, no rush. Let's talk about it when you feel better."
Lu Sheng didn't leave until he had escorted Fu Man'er back to her room.
Meanwhile, Qian Dayong was shocked to learn that bandits had come down the mountain to rob people.

"How could that be? Why would they come down the mountain to rob us at this time? They clearly..." He quickly shut his mouth at the crucial moment.
"Deputy Commander, what is Mingming?" someone asked.
Qian Dayong tried to suppress his shock and calmly said, "We've already arrested their people, how come they still have the audacity to come down the mountain to rob us?"
This explanation was plausible and didn't arouse any suspicion.
"I'm afraid there's no food on the mountain, and it's cold now. The bandits have no other way to survive, so they have to come down the mountain to rob."
After all, the things that were stolen this time were food and daily necessities, and that's what everyone guessed.
Others might not know, but Qian Dayong did. He had already sent food, winter clothes, and blankets up the mountain.
Those people didn't need to do anything unnecessary.
Qian Dayong was completely baffled. When he learned that Xu Yi had led people to investigate, his composure almost crumbled.
He turned and headed outside, his hurried and flustered manner arousing the questions of others.

"Dayong, where are you going?"
“There’s soup cooking on the stove at home. My sister-in-law asked me to go back and check on it at noon. I suddenly remembered that I had to hurry back and check on it.”
Qian Dayong spoke as he hurried home.
But when he got home, Chunniang wasn't there, leaving him feeling completely lost.
After searching inside and outside the house and confirming that Chunniang was not home, Qian Dayong considered it for a moment and decided to leave the city now.
Just as he was about to leave, he saw Chunniang walk in.
"Chunniang, where have you been? Do you know that someone reported a robbery by bandits today?"
"What's going on? Aren't they eating and drinking?"
"Xu Yi went there with his men. Will they be found out?"
Qian Dayong threw out a series of questions, but Chunniang didn't react much. She just turned around and closed the courtyard gate.
