The man in black arrived at the gambling den. "Master."

"Okay, let's go down and treat your injuries."

"Not only did we fail to catch up with the person, but we were also injured. Please punish us, Master."

"It's alright. If that old dog Cai Mingqi runs away, we won't be under his control anymore, and we won't have to make money for him anymore. All the money we earn from now on will be ours."

The second prince is coming; the world will be in chaos. When that happens, heroes will rise up everywhere, and that will be our opportunity.

"Everyone, get out of here. I need to plan out the path our brothers will take in the future." The man, wearing a half-silver mask that covered both eyes and half his face, leaned back in his chair, looking languid, with a slight upturn at the corners of his mouth. He was getting more and more interesting.

I wonder where that princess escaped to, and whether she'll help her brother, hahaha...

In the days since Liu Siyue left, Madam Feng has been constantly thinking, "Why hasn't this child come back yet? She's been gone for so long, I want to go back too."

Yun Chenxin quickly comforted her, "Auntie, just relax and enjoy yourself here. You don't usually come out, so once you're out, don't think about anything and just do whatever makes you happy."

She'll be back in April after she finishes her business. You can't let her down. If she finds out you're unhappy when she gets back, she'll blame me!

"Auntie, let me take you on a tour of the estate. The scenery here is beautiful; after you see it, you might be able to decorate it when you get home."

"Okay, let's go for a walk then."

The Ruyue and Ruxing sisters were having a blast playing with the children in the village. They had no friends, and all they did was study. These past two days, they'd completely let loose, going wild, catching fish, insects, grasshoppers...

When he had free time, he became a tutor, teaching the children in the village to read and write, and teaching them to write their own names.

"Auntie, look how happy my two little sisters, Ruyue and Ruxing, are playing."

"Sigh, these two kids have no one to play with at home, and they have no liveliness at all. We should really take them out to play more often in the future; that's how kids should be."

Every day, Yun Chenxin would take Feng Shi for a walk around the village, digging for wild vegetables and weeding. Feng Shi sighed, "It's been so many years since I've worked in the fields. After doing all this work, I've become so delicate. I feel uncomfortable doing anything."

"Auntie, if we're lucky, we should enjoy it. As long as someone does the work, that's fine. Look at those rich ladies and young women, they don't have to do anything every day. They just dress themselves up beautifully and go out to participate in some activities. That's all to make their husbands look good."

Look how successful your daughters are! The real blessings are yet to come. Just focus on getting better health so you'll be strong enough to hold your grandchildren in your arms later.

Yun Chenxin even invited the women from the village to come and chat with Madam Feng, making the days less unbearable.

She thought to herself, "April, when are you coming back? If you don't come back soon, your auntie will have to go home."

Liu Siyue and Qingwu sat on the carriage shaft, chatting as they traveled. The journey didn't seem so long. Every now and then, they would take out some snacks and drinks from their spatial storage. They ate and drank while enjoying the breeze, feeling quite content.

Upon entering Lingshui County, Qingwu asked, "Master, shall we go to the house or the estate first?"

"Let's go to the manor first and check on the princess's injuries."

Back at the Yun residence, Ningxiang quickly arranged for Liu Siyue to wash up and rest. "Master, are you hungry? Would you like us to make you something to eat?"

"No need, I'm not hungry right now. How is the princess's injury?"

"It doesn't look good. There are some ulcers, and she has a fever."

"Hmm? I'll go take a look."

As soon as Liu Siyue arrived at the door of the princess's room, An Ying came out from inside. He looked unwell and greeted Liu Siyue immediately, "Madam Liu, you're back. My master has a persistent high fever, the wound on his abdomen has started to fester, and he's still unconscious."

"How long has the high fever lasted? I'll go in and check on him."

"I started having a fever before dinner yesterday, and the wound is red, swollen, and a little ulcerated."

When Liu Siyue went into the room and looked at the bed, the princess was still unconscious, with chapped lips and a flushed face. She touched her forehead and found it was burning hot. Then she looked at the wound on her abdomen and saw that it was indeed showing signs of ulceration. This was a fever caused by inflammation. Taking antipyretics alone would not be enough; she had to take anti-inflammatory drugs.

Qingye said, "Master, I've taken the fever-reducing medicine you prepared, and the fever went down, but it came back after a while. I don't know what to do. They won't let me call a doctor. If the fever continues, won't it turn me into a fool?"

"Be careful what you say!"

"You all stay here, I'll go find the medicine."

Liu Siyue returned to her room, took out anti-inflammatory medicine from her spatial storage, unwrapped the medicine, poured the white powder onto a piece of paper, wrapped it up, and sent it to the princess.

"Qingye, give this medicine and the fever reducer to the princess together."

"Shadow, bring me the alcohol. I need to treat the princess's wounds."

Shadow brought over the alcohol, and Liu Siyue secretly added a drop of spiritual spring water to it. "Shadow, prick that little sore, squeeze out the pus, and use this to disinfect it. Disinfect it once every hour."

As Shadow did as she was doing, Princess Tiantai's brows furrowed in pain. Qingye brought in a bowl of water, which Liu Siyue took. "Give it to me. You pry its mouth open."

She added another drop of spiritual spring water to the bowl and fed it to the princess. The princess's throat moved up and down, and she knew how to swallow. Liu Siyue then poured the whole bowl of water down her throat.

Liu Siyue stood up. "I have something to do, so I'll leave first. You all feed the princess the medicine on time and disinfect the wound regularly. It should be fine. If other people's wounds also become ulcerated, use it to wipe and disinfect them."

"Madam Liu, could you please stay today? I'm afraid my master's fever won't go down." An Ying looked at Liu Siyue with pleading eyes, as if she would kneel down and beg if she didn't agree.

"I have to go take care of some errands first, and I'll be back tonight. Don't worry too much, your master will be fine."

"Thank you, Madam Liu."

"If there's anything you need to buy, just tell Qingye or Manager Ning."

"We don't need anything."

"Oh, right, you all need to change your clothes. You can't wear these clothes; they're too eye-catching and will easily attract attention. I'll have Qingye go to the clothing store and buy you some ready-made clothes."

"Alright, Shadow thanks Madam Liu. I will remember your great kindness."

"Qingye, go to Zhiyun Cloth Shop and buy two sets of clothes for each of them so they can change into them."

"Yes, Master."

"By the way, Shadow, I went to the prefectural city this time. I heard that Prefect Cai Mingqi fled by boat with his family last night."

"He'll probably run away. He's the eldest prince's man. The second prince should be heading to Dongping Prefecture soon."

"It's not safe here. We need to find a safer and more secure place for our master to recover as soon as possible, just in case."

"Okay, I'll arrange it as soon as possible."

Liu Siyue came out of the house and saw Qingwu. "Qingwu, go and buy some bedding. Go back to the village and clean up that empty courtyard. Arrange for them to return to the village tomorrow."

"Yes, Master."

"Then what will you do?"

"I'm going to the village. You take them with you tomorrow night. I might stay for a few more days. Don't let the village know."

"Okay, I'll take care of it right away."

Liu Siyue drove the carriage towards the manor. He took a lot of snacks from his spatial storage and put them in the carriage. As they drove through the streets, a voice called "Sister" entered his ears. The voice sounded somewhat familiar.

In this small town, who would call me "sister"? They're probably calling someone else and I just misheard.

"Xiao Nan, that's my older sister! Quickly stop that carriage!"
