At dusk, Hongxiu went to the kitchen to serve dinner.
Just as I went upstairs, the door at the corner of the stairs opened and Mu Yun came out.
"Miss Mu Yun, so you are also staying at this inn."
Thinking of Mu Yun's righteous words, Hong Xiu had a good impression of her.
At this moment, Mu Yun was still dressed in men's clothes, looking very neat, but Hong Xiu still noticed a little blood on Mu Yun's chest.
Seeing Hong Xiu, Mu Yun clasped his fists and bowed, "What a coincidence! Your wife is here too?"
After a few pleasantries, a heavy cough was heard in the room.
Mu Yun's expression froze as she hurried downstairs. Before leaving, she said, "I'm sorry, a family member is sick, and I'm anxious to find a doctor."
After saying this, the person disappeared.
Although the inn is large, each room is partitioned by wooden boards, which is not very effective.
While Jiang Yuzhu was having her meal, she heard intermittent coughing from the next room, which she endured and suppressed.
It was obvious that the man didn't want to disturb the other guests, and every time he endured, he only coughed louder.
Fortunately, after waiting for a while, perhaps because Mu Yun had consulted a doctor, the coughing became less and less severe.
After dinner, it was time to light the lamps.
The pedestrians returning home on the street walked in a faster pace, and there were many vendors pushing carts, who seemed to have just closed their stalls.
Jiang Yuzhu looked around for a moment, then suddenly remembered something and instructed, "Hongxiu, we met by chance, and Miss Mu helped me. You should go visit her later with some lung-moistening pills."
Hong Xiu agreed and went next door with a few things.
In the next room, Mu Yun was having dinner.
When he heard a knock on the door, he thought the doctor had returned, but when he saw it was Hong Xiu, he was stunned.
"Miss Mu, Madam sent a servant to bring some lung-moistening pills."
Hong Xiu took out a porcelain vase and was stunned when she saw the identical one on the table.
Mu Yun thanked her and explained, "Your wife is very kind. My family and I came to the capital this time mainly to find a doctor in the capital."
The person coughing was Mu Yun's brother. His cough had become more severe recently, and every time he coughed, there was blood.
She had seen countless doctors, and they all said that her brother would not live more than a year.
"Is this porcelain vase exactly the same?"
After Mu Yun finished speaking, she saw Hong Xiu was still in a daze, so she took the porcelain bottle and poured out the pills.
"Strange, it's really the same!"
Before dinner, her brother coughed up blood again. Mu Yun rushed out to find a doctor and happened to meet a man dressed as a scholar who recommended himself and said he could treat her brother.
Mu Yun brought the man back, and the doctor used acupuncture to seal several acupoints on her brother, which miraculously stopped his cough.
Before leaving, the doctor left a bottle of medicine, saying that he had prepared it himself.
"Could it be that the doctor who came to see me was recommended by your wife?"
It’s no wonder Mu Yun thought too much. The doctor came to see the patient and stayed for a quarter of an hour, but didn’t ask for any money.
And the technique was very good and really stopped my brother's cough.
Mu Yun was worried about her brother. After she settled him down, the doctor who came to see him had already left.
Mu Yun was a little annoyed about this. She wished she could keep the person. This person was very skilled, perhaps not worse than the doctors in the capital.
"he……"
Hong Xiu came back to her senses, took a deep breath and asked, "Didn't he faint after seeing the blood?"
Whether from the medical techniques or the pills left behind, the person who came must be Yan Lin.
Hong Xiu thought she had given up on thinking about him a long time ago, and when she passed Yan Lin, she didn't know what to feel.
Perhaps, Yan Lin learned that she was in Xunyang, but just didn't want to meet her.
Mu Yun thought carefully and said apologetically, "I was worried about my brother at the time and didn't really care about the doctor's expression, but he did bring a servant with him."
Hongxiu didn't ask any more questions, just said a few words of concern and turned back to her room.
When Jiang Yuzhu learned that Yan Lin was in Xunyang, she said calmly, "If he wants to meet me, it won't be difficult for him to come to the inn."
The two rooms were separated by a gap, and Yan Lin only stayed briefly, indicating that he had no intention of meeting.
Although it was a pity, Jiang Yuzhu understood very well that even though Yan Song was an unforgivable criminal, he was Yan Lin's biological father, and he couldn't get over that hurdle in his heart.
At the end of the tenth lunar month, the autumn colors outside the window had deepened, and dead leaves were blown down by the wind, with a few of them blowing in through the window.
Jiang Yuzhu picked it up and played with it in her hands boredly.
After Xie Zhao entered the room, he stood beside his wife and said in a low voice, "Just now, my men found a suspicious person near the inn."
Those people were most likely coming for them.
When Jiang Yuzhu heard that there was a suspicious person, she felt relieved. She was just afraid that Lu Yunxi would not take any action.
"Yuanhe, Fugui and Wanwan..."
The two babies taken care of by the wet nurse are still fed every day and occasionally taken out to bask in the sun.
Chen was the only one who noticed that the child had been swapped.
"Don't worry, everything is fine."
The children were sent to the capital separately, and everything went smoothly for the time being.
They should protect the replaced baby well, otherwise if Lu Yunxi finds out, Fugui and Wanwan will be in danger.
"good."
Every night, Jiang Yuzhu would bring the two little kids into the room to play with them. Most of the time, Hongxiu and Hongjin would serve them, while the other maids were kept in the dark.
It was late at night and the inn was silent. All the guests were fast asleep and their snoring could be heard clearly.
Occasionally, a few silent coughs were heard from the next room.
Jiang Yuzhu lay beside Xie Zhao, unable to sleep.
If it concerned herself, she wouldn't worry about anything, but when it came to two little kids, Jiang Yuzhu always felt a heavy responsibility.
"What does it smell like?"
The smell of burnt rice hung in the air, and the Korean paper on the window shone faintly with firelight.
Oh no, there’s a fire!
The fire soon alarmed the waiter who was dozing downstairs. He ran to the kitchen to call for help, but found that the water tank was empty. The water used to put out the fire had been poured out at some point.
"Wake up, wake up, it's fatal!"
There was a fire on the stairs and black ashes were everywhere.
Next door, Mu Yun had already gotten up. She observed and quickly twisted the bed sheet into a knot, and sent her brother to safety.
"Thank you, Madam. I'm here to help!"
After getting a moment to breathe, Mu Yun came over and knocked on the door.
There was wailing in the inn, and some guests were trapped in their rooms, in chaos.
Jiang Yuzhu picked up the swaddling baby inside, and suddenly the window moved, and a dozen men in black surrounded the room.
With the fire and the men in black around, Jiang Yuzhu and Xie Zhao couldn't move an inch.
Mu Yun didn't understand what was going on, so she kicked the door open and entered. She was surprised to see the man in black.
"The grudges in the martial arts world have nothing to do with you!"
The man in black stared at Mu Yun, hoping she would stop interfering.
Mu Yun wiped her face and spat, "My aunt has said it before, the people of the world are in charge of the world's affairs. Who are you?"
This time, the man in black didn't say anything extra and attacked fiercely.
In the corner, Jiang Yuzhu had already given the two swaddling clothes to Hong Xiu and Hong Jin, and instructed: "Be sure to protect them!"
Treat them as Fugui and Wanwan, and protect them!
"Madam, your safety..."
The two maids had expected this day to come, and no matter how prepared they were, it finally came.
"I'm fine."
What is coming cannot be avoided. The man in black who came this time was more powerful than any Jiang Yuzhu had encountered before.
If the master behind them is Lu Yunxi, then that should be all of Lu Yunxi's trump cards.
