Therefore, their appearance attracted the attention of everyone on the street, who wondered whose young master they were. However, judging from their attire, they did not seem to be from the capital and were likely from their own area. But they had never heard of any family with such an outstanding young master.
As they watched, the young master walking ahead suddenly collapsed, emitting loud, intermittent breathing sounds, clearly unable to catch his breath.
Now that's settled; those who were looking at them stopped looking at them and all kept their distance.
The discussion has ceased.
They saw the people behind rushing forward and hugging the one in front tightly, calling out things like "Second Master, Second Master".
He seems to be quite wealthy, but his attire doesn't seem to suggest it.
Are all rich people so sick these days? Are they all so frail? They could collapse while walking.
"Where's your medicine?" The two who attracted the attention of the audience were none other than Hu Mingmei and his subordinate Lu Ying. They had just arrived, but unexpectedly, Hu Mingmei fell ill as soon as they arrived.
Lu Ying groped Hu Mingmei's body, looking very anxious.
Hu Mingmei's face was flushed, and she was breathing heavily, but the air in her chest cavity was getting thinner and thinner, and her chest cavity felt like it was being torn apart.
Hu Mingmei felt a sharp pain in his chest, and large, bluish veins appeared on his face, arms, and neck, looking quite frightening. He was covered in sweat, as if he had been soaking in water.
It’s over!
Lu Ying's heart skipped a beat. Second Master's two illnesses had flared up at the same time, but what could they do now? Old Sun wasn't by Second Master's side either. What should they do?
In a panic, Lu Ying looked down and realized that Hu Mingmei had fainted. Lu Ying became even more anxious and looked around. Suddenly, she saw a carriage not far away. Without thinking, Lu Ying picked up Hu Mingmei and ran towards the carriage.
Inside the carriage.
Lu Ying finally found the medicine on Hu Mingmei. After using it on Hu Mingmei, Hu Mingmei's face returned to normal, and the blue veins on his body gradually returned to normal as well.
Lu Ying finally breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a mournful face, "Second Master, why did you do this? You traveled such a long way and almost lost your life. You should just leave this matter alone and let them deal with it!"
"No!" Hu Mingmei leaned against the wall of the carriage, his chest heaving as he looked up. Clearly, he had calmed down, but he was still not completely comfortable.
"Have you seen that thing before?" Hu Mingmei asked with his eyes half-closed and his thin lips slightly parted. A layer of languor settled on his handsome face, making him look like a demon.
It's captivating and mesmerizing.
Lu Ying shook her head and said in frustration, "No, no one has ever seen that thing. Even the nobles in the palace have never seen it before!" Who knows what kind of thing it is? The two of them, master and servant, came here to investigate this thing, but they don't know what it is or what it's called. They only know that it came from here. Apart from that, they have no other clues.
Like finding a needle in a haystack, Lu Ying was terrified that Hu Mingmei would lose his life on this trip.
"Can't we just let them look for it? This thing just suddenly appeared, they'll all be anxious!" Lu Ying hurriedly advised.
However, the more Lu Ying talked, the more hopeless she felt. Second Master was not one to listen to advice. They had been talking about it since the capital, and now that Second Master was here, he was even less likely to go back.
"Hmph!" Hu Mingmei sneered. "What do those people do all day besides eating, drinking, and having fun? My Hu family's business can't be ruined by them!"
But... Lu Ying looked at Hu Mingmei, hesitant to speak. The Hu family's business was no longer in the hands of the Second Master.
As Hu Mingmei spoke, he closed his eyes wearily. Seeing this, Lu Ying dared not say anything more, crawled out of the carriage, and prepared to catch the train.
Let's find a place to stay first.
Lu Ying had been driving the carriage alongside Hu Mingmei, and his driving skills were excellent, if not superb. However, to his surprise, the black horse in front of him suddenly neighed loudly as soon as he sat on the carriage shaft.
"Giddy up!" Lu Ying exclaimed in surprise. He hadn't forgotten how he got the carriage; it was practically stolen. Although there was no one in the carriage now, who knew if its owner might suddenly return?
So Lu Ying lashed the horse's rump with his whip, urging the black horse to hurry up. But to his surprise, the black horse turned around and glared at him, then stood still, unmoved no matter how anxious he was.
"Giddy up!" Lu Ying called out again, this time with a bit more force than before. The whip struck the horse's rump once more, but to everyone's surprise, the black horse not only didn't move, but started circling around again, its four hooves pounding the ground with a deafening roar, accompanied by its long neighing to the sky, attracting all the attention around it.
The noise startled Bai Nuo and the other two people who were talking inside.
"Oh no, it's your carriage!" Jiang Sanniang exclaimed. "Has something happened to you?"
"Let's go out and take a look!" Bai Nuo said in surprise. The black horse was usually very obedient and would wait when told to, and it had never barked so loudly before.
After they went outside, Bai Nuo and Jiang San Niang discovered that a strange man was sitting in Bai Nuo's carriage. The man was holding a whip and was about to drive the carriage away, but the black horse refused to obey, so it shouted loudly.
