Mu Xue and Qiu Hong couldn't persuade her otherwise, so they had to ask the guards in the courtyard to go to the clinic.
When the guards returned, the rain was pouring down even harder.
Qiu Hong waited at the door with an umbrella. When she took the medicine from the guard, she noticed that the person who delivered the vegetables today was a stranger.
She was always cautious and felt something was amiss, but she had no proof.
