Inside the inn, Xiao Tao warily observed the two people in front of her.
"Don't worry, we're not bad people. If we really wanted to take you away, why would we bring you to this inn? There are people coming and going in the inn; it's not a secluded place at all." Zhong Yan patted her shoulder.
"Let me introduce myself first. My name is Zhong Yan, and this is my brother Zhong Heng. We are here to find An Niangzi's youngest daughter, the little girl in your arms."
“Madam An is far away in Qingzhou. She has three daughters, but her third daughter was secretly sold by her mother-in-law after she was born. She has been searching for her in secret, and we recently found out that Madam An’s youngest daughter is Miss Xiao Chan from the Huai family.”
Zhongheng had already found the whereabouts of An Niangzi's youngest daughter. He had previously had his brothers keep watch outside the Huai residence. Now that he heard about the situation here, he immediately brought his sister over. Fortunately, they arrived in time.
"How can I trust you?" Xiao Tao still refused to let go.
Knock, knock, knock—there was a knocking sound coming from outside.
"Dr. Wang?" Xiao Tao exclaimed in surprise.
The Huai family had naturally consulted doctors as well. During this period, Madam Huai's health deteriorated rapidly, and they frequently invited Doctor Wang to examine her. Xiao Tao knew Doctor Wang.
"Dr. Wang, Xiao Chan has a high fever, please come and take a look." Zhong Yan quickly pulled Dr. Wang over.
As a modern person, she naturally knew how dangerous it was for a child to have a fever; if she wasn't careful, the child could die.
In ancient times, there were no cold medicines or fever reducers; people had to ask doctors for prescriptions.
"Don't worry, all of you, don't worry." Doctor Wang took out his medicine box and carefully took the little girl's pulse.
“Little Peach, the Doctor Wang you know is right here. If we really had any bad intentions, why would we need to find someone you know? Sit down first, and after we finish treating Xiao Chan, we can talk about what happened to you today.”
Seeing the maid's anxious expression, Zhong Yan knew that the maid hadn't brought the child out on purpose. Perhaps there was some emergency at the Huai residence that forced the maid to resort to this tactic.
If it weren't for a last resort, who would want to go outside in this snowy weather, wearing such thin clothes?
After Doctor Wang fed Huaichan a pill, left a prescription, and left, Xiao Tao hesitantly recounted what had happened that day.
Snap!
The porcelain bowl in Zhong Yan's hands fell to the ground, and her hands were trembling.
"What a beast! That old man from the Huai family is absolutely despicable. What right does he have to treat such a lovely girl like us?"
"Swapping fates requires enduring the pain of being pierced by a thousand arrows. Why doesn't he just bear it himself? I've never seen such a shameless person. Second brother, we must teach him a lesson before we leave!"
Zhong Yan was furious.
"Wait, Yan Yan, don't be impulsive. I have a feeling that this kind of thing is not something a normal person could do. Maybe it involves evil spirits!" Zhong Heng clenched his fist, looking thoughtful.
"Wait while I ask the Mountain Goddess what to do about this!"
Zhongheng carefully placed the wooden statue on the table, then placed three incense sticks in front of it, and respectfully knelt down to worship the statue of the Mountain Goddess.
He called upon the Mountain Goddess again and again in his mind.
In fact, even if Zhong Heng hadn't lit incense or knelt in worship, Yu Luo had still noticed this side.
She had actually been keeping an eye on Zhong Heng's movements, not only because of the transmigrated female PhD, but also because of An Niangzi's youngest daughter.
An Niangzi was her most trusted follower, but the other party's youngest daughter was even more formidable, being the biggest villain in the novel. She almost killed both the male and female protagonists single-handedly.
Talented individuals of this caliber certainly deserve to be well cared for!
"System, what type of evil spirit do you think this one is that swaps fates with others? Can we defeat it?"
Yu Luo also clenched her fists.
The system thought for a moment and analyzed, "These kinds of evil spirits that swap fates usually only swap luck."
"But if you think about it, you'll understand. Demons and evil spirits aren't that kind-hearted. On the surface, they help people exchange things, but in reality, most of the fortune ends up in their bellies."
“This kind of evil spirit that feeds on human fortune is very difficult to deal with. If it is only Zhongheng, I'm afraid there is no way to pose a threat to that evil spirit.”
It's not that the system looks down on Zhongheng, it's just that that guy had no choice but to run away!
