Princess, she is the one who facilitated the extradition.

"Mother, I'm back."

The girl stood in front of the bed and said, "I washed dishes with Aunt Ba for five days, and she gave me a coin."

Aunt Ba said I'm hardworking, and if anyone needs help in the kitchen, they should ask me again. "Mom, I have money for your medical treatment now."

Large tears slid down his tender face.

"But why didn't you wait for your daughter? Your daughter can earn money now, Mother..."

Gui Yao looked at the bed; the corpse had turned a dark purple, with mosquitoes and flies buzzing around it, indicating that it had been dead for four or five days.

The girl cried her heart out, her hands trembling as she tried to pull back the covers, but Gui Yao grabbed her wrist.

"What your mother would want you to remember is how well she was in the past."

The corpse under the blanket would likely swell and change even more drastically.

"It's you."

The girl recognized Gui Yao as the person who had just helped her. "What are you doing at my house?"

"Your father just said that although I helped you get the money back, he will beat you after I leave."

Gui Yao pulled the girl back a step. "I was afraid I'd do something wrong with my good intentions, so I came to remind you, but I didn't expect..."

To make up for the trouble I've caused you, I'll help you with your mother's funeral arrangements.

In reality, he followed the man because he sensed the aura of death emanating from him.

"Even without your help, he would still hit me if he wanted to."

The girl took another step closer, her face full of sorrow. "You mean well, but I know what's good for me. I can't trouble you any further."

If it weren't for this person's help, her father would have taken the money to buy wine, and she wouldn't even have had the money to buy her mother a straw mat.

"Do you understand matters of funerals?"

Gui Yao said, "There are many taboos regarding funeral arrangements. If we are not careful, it may disturb the peace of the deceased."

Upon hearing this, the girl finally agreed to let Gui Yao help.

Xiao Huaijin had already given the order to Zhijian, and soon after, Zhijian led a group of professional funeral workers in carrying the coffin.

Some people prepared the deceased for burial, while others took the girl to change into mourning clothes and set up the funeral hall.

Gui Yao took out a silver ingot and handed it to Zhi Jian so that he could settle accounts with people later.

This time, Xiao Huaijin did not stop it.

The man had no money to buy wine, so he wanted to smell the aroma of wine outside the wine shop, which displeased the shopkeeper.

"Go away, go away, it stinks so badly, it's masking the aroma of my wine. How am I supposed to do business like this?"

"Where does it smell?"

The man smiled ingratiatingly, "My nose smells strongly of alcohol."

It made his mouth water.

When the shopkeeper saw that he still wouldn't leave, he pinched his nose, picked up a stick, and chased him away.

The man was furious, but he didn't dare to argue with the shopkeeper. He could only turn around and go home, thinking of snatching the money back from his daughter.

If they dare not give it to you, then let's see if their fists will allow it.

But to his surprise, white was hung above the door.

"That bitch is finally dead?"

He paused for a moment, then stood in the courtyard and grinned, "Good riddance, no need to waste money on medical treatment."

The thought of money froze his smile, turning into anger the next moment. He roared and strode into the house.

"You wretched girl, how dare you waste money on this? You'd be better off buying me some wine..."

Before he could finish his shout, a long sword was pressed against his throat.

He looked closely and saw it was that meddlesome woman from before. "You, what do you want to do...?"

Gui Yao scrutinized his expression. "Have you been staying in this room these past few days?"

"Of course, this is my home."

The man stared nervously at the longsword, trying to appear calm. "I'm warning you, Lord Cang of the Jingzhao Prefecture is incorruptible. No matter who you are, if you dare to kill someone at will, he will not let you off easily."

"Didn't you realize your wife had been dead for several days?"

Gui Yao had seen this house; it had only two rooms.

Besides the deceased's room, the bed in another small room was neatly made.

If a man is described as slovenly and disheveled, he is not someone who knows how to tidy up; it must have been tidied up by the girl before she left home.

The man had a putrid odor, indicating that he had been sharing a bed or at least a room with his wife for the past few days.

If he wasn't blind and his nose wasn't damaged, he would have been able to tell that the woman was dead.

Gui Yao had clearly heard what he said in the courtyard.

Sure enough, the man retorted, "What nonsense are you talking about? I've been home these past few days, how could I not know whether she's dead or not?"

One neighbor couldn't help but speak up, "I think you've ruined your brain with alcohol. Your wife's body is already rotting."

She said that when she passed by yesterday, she smelled a foul odor, but seeing that the drunkard seemed normal, she didn't think much of it.

To his surprise, the person had been dead for several days without him noticing.

"Bullshit."

The man wasn't afraid of his neighbor at all. "I even slept with her last night," he said.

Gui Yao believed him, otherwise the stench of death and the eerie aura emanating from him wouldn't have been so strong.

How could a normal person not be able to tell the difference between a dead person and a living person?

Gui Yao sheathed his sword, seemingly lost in thought.

Seeing that they were there, the man didn't dare to be rude to the girl and muttered something before hiding in the small room.

Gui Yao asked Xiao Huaijin's men to inquire about the family's situation, and then left Zhijian to help while she and Xiao Huaijin left first.

She set up a sign for free medical consultation in front of the pharmacy in the west of the city, because she had arranged with the pharmacy that she could get her medicine there if needed.

If it brings in business, and the diagnosis is good or bad, it has nothing to do with the pharmacy, the pharmacy owner will naturally be happy.

But because Gui Yao was a woman, no one dared to believe her.

There's no rush to return to the hospital; disbelief is the norm. But poor people face difficulties accessing medical care, and there are always those who are desperate and want to give it a try.

As she expected, about half an hour later, an old woman came forward and asked, "Young lady, do you really know medicine?"

The woman was the girl's neighbor. Seeing that Gui Yao was helping the girl's family with the funeral arrangements, she thought he must be a good person, so she tentatively approached him.

Gui Yao nodded, gesturing for her to place her hand on the table.

After taking his pulse, Gui Yao said, "I didn't sleep well at night, my mouth was terribly dry, and drinking water didn't quench my thirst..."

Gui Yao slowly described the old woman's symptoms, and the woman said happily, "Young lady, you really know medicine. You're right. It's been more than a month, and it's been so tormenting me that I have no energy left."

But since it's not a fatal illness, they're reluctant to spend money to see a doctor.

Gui Yao wrote down the name of the pharmacy and handed it along with the money to the guards of Prince Jin's residence, saying, "Thank you for your trouble."

The guards hurried to the pharmacy to get the medicine.

The old woman was somewhat surprised. In the past, wealthy families had organized free clinics, but the medicine had to be purchased by the patients themselves.

When the guard handed her the medicine, she thanked him repeatedly, deeply moved.

Gui Yao waved her hand, "No need to thank me."

She had her own selfish motives for healing the sick and saving lives in order to accumulate merit and exchange it for spiritual power.

"If you have white rice at home, you can boil some rice oil to make a tea substitute, which can nourish yin and quench thirst..."

She carefully instructed the old woman on daily care methods.

Upon seeing this, an eight- or nine-year-old boy rushed home and carried his sick younger sister back.

"Please, save my sister."

The family couldn't afford the medicine, so the parents didn't dare bring their younger sister.

Seeing that they had no money to buy medicine, they were even more heartbroken, so they went to look for work to see if they could earn a few copper coins.

Xiao Huaijin lifted the child from his back and placed him on the table.

The child's foot was pierced by a sharp object, and the infection resulted from the lack of timely medical treatment.

After writing the prescription, Gui Yao thought for a moment and said to the guard, "Give them some wages and have the pharmacy help with the decoction."

The fact that he brought his younger sister along at such a young age suggests that there are no adults to look after her at home, so I might as well go all the way and do a good deed.

After giving her instructions, she began to treat the child's external injuries.

"Thank you, my benefactor."

The little boy wanted to kneel down.

Xiao Huaijin knew that Gui Yao didn't want this kind of kneeling gratitude, so he stopped him, saying, "If you really want to thank me, then grow up well and become a real man who stands tall in the future."

With these two cases, there will be no shortage of patients later.

But Gui Yao wasn't a fool; he didn't have any major problems, so he wasn't treated.

It has no patches on its body, clearly it came to take advantage, so it's not worth treating.

Time flies when you're busy, and as night falls, there's still a long queue behind you.

Gui Yao had a guard bring paper and pen, wrote down the order, and distributed it to the people in line. "Go back first today, and everyone come in this order tomorrow morning."

Upon hearing that she would return the next day, everyone went home.

The guard who had been inquiring about the girl's family situation stepped forward and said, "I've found out."
