The peasant girl has a private space, and her husband is handsome.

Su Qianqian quickly found a secluded alleyway and moved the girls out of the space.

She carefully arranged the girls against the wall, then shouted to the crowd in the distance, "Come quick! There are lots of girls here!"

After the crowd rushed over, Su Qianqian took the opportunity to blend into the crowd.

An old man carrying a lantern also came over. He had finally found his own daughter and wept with joy.

The Bodhisattva is truly powerful! He had just saved the Bodhisattva's life, and the Bodhisattva indeed showed his power.

Now, not only has her daughter returned safely, but her reputation has also been preserved.

The old man knelt down and began to kowtow, "Thank you, Guanyin Bodhisattva, for saving us from suffering; thank you, God..."

Someone noticed Meng Baozhu.

"This girl has a head injury and needs to be taken to the hospital."

Su Qianqian also mingled in the crowd and shouted, "Help! There's a girl here who needs to be taken to the hospital!"

After entering the city, she originally wanted to take Meng Baozhu to the hospital, but she was not familiar with Qinghe County and did not know where the clinic was. Moreover, she did not have any money to treat Meng Baozhu, so she had no choice but to resort to this desperate measure.

Many people, having heard that the missing girls had suddenly appeared on East Street, gathered in this direction.

A maidservant carrying an exquisite lady's lantern trotted over, recognized Meng Baozhu, and was frightened by Meng Baozhu's pale face.

"Young Miss, it really is Young Miss."

Wang Mama and her maid Chun Tao lifted Meng Baozhu up and draped a crimson cloak over her shoulders.

The two men felt heartbroken seeing their young mistress in such a miserable state.

Madam Wang quickly instructed Chun Tao, "Chun Tao, hurry, hurry and have someone bring the sedan chair over. The young lady is injured, get her to the hospital immediately."

"Yes, Mama Wang, the sedan chair is waiting at the intersection. I'll go and call it right away. It will be here soon."

The Meng family was very well-off and wealthy. Wang Mama and her maid Chun Tao were both plump and healthy, and they wore silver hairpins and thick silver bracelets.

Mrs. Wang's hair was neatly combed, her eyes were red, and her eye sockets were moist.

Su Qianqian could tell that Wang's mother was genuinely worried about Meng Baozhu.

With the servants of the Meng family taking care of her, Baozhu could leave with peace of mind.

Standing in the crowd, Su Qianqian watched as the girls were recognized by their relatives one by one, witnessing scene after scene of reunion, and felt that all the hard work of the night was worthwhile.

Meng Baozhu woke up before being carried into the sedan chair and refused to get in no matter what.

"Aunt Wang, I'm fine, I'm just tired—I'm not leaving, I need to find someone very important, and I won't go home until I find them..."

The worry on Mrs. Wang's face finally subsided. The young lady spoke very logically, so it seemed that the injury was not serious.

"Young Miss, if you're tired, please get into the sedan chair first. Don't rush, I'll tell the sedan chair bearers we won't go any further."

"Okay." Meng Baozhu was helped into the sedan chair. She lifted the silky red satin curtain and looked around at the crowd.

As she searched, she briefly described to Wang's mother what had happened.

Mrs. Wang was extremely surprised; she never expected her eldest daughter to have such an experience.

It seems that the young lady was able to return to the city intact entirely thanks to that Miss Su. I really want to see what that incredibly capable Miss Su looks like.

The lady was already frail, and when she heard that the eldest young lady had gone missing, she couldn't bear the shock and fell ill immediately.

Now that the young lady has returned safely, the madam will surely recover from her illness upon receiving the news.

So, Miss Su saved not one life, but two.

The lady only has this one biological daughter. If she can't find her, she definitely won't be able to go on living.

Meng Baozhu kept peering out from behind the sedan curtain, and when she saw Su Qianqian, her face immediately lit up with joy.

She quickly pointed to Su Qianqian and introduced her, saying, "Aunt Wang, look! That's my savior, Sister Su, who saved me from human traffickers—"

Before he could finish speaking, Wang's mother covered his mouth.

"My little darling."

The words "human trafficker" must not be heard by anyone; the reputation of a daughter of the Great Qi Dynasty is paramount.

If word gets out that the young lady has been kidnapped by human traffickers, her reputation will be completely ruined.

The Meng family in the capital will not let the eldest daughter go; in the end, she will either hang herself or become a nun.

The marriages of other young ladies in the clan will likely be affected as well.

Wang's mother hadn't noticed Su Qianqian at first, but after hearing Meng Baozhu say that Su Qianqian was the one who saved her life, she felt grateful and looked at her more closely.

Upon closer inspection, they discovered that the little girl in front of them was as thin as a bamboo pole, yet she possessed the strength to rescue the young lady from human traffickers.

The girl, dressed in tattered clothes covered in patches, stood calmly in the crowd, looking like a crane among chickens.

What a wonderful person she is! Who would have thought that such an outstanding girl comes from the countryside!

She was more poised and elegant than any of the countless young ladies she had ever met; she was truly exceptional.

I was wondering how the missing girl could suddenly appear in the city. There must have been some human intervention. But I never expected that the one who saved her would be this thin little girl. It's unbelievable.

How did a petite girl manage to save six people her own age?

Madam Wang was filled with doubts. Seeing the young lady struggling to get out of the sedan chair, she quickly stepped forward to stop her. "My little darling, if you're not feeling well, don't get out. This old servant will go and thank Miss Su on your behalf. Don't worry, this old servant will speak to you with utmost respect."

Hearing this, Meng Baozhu finally stopped struggling.

But struggling was useless; she was now too weak to even lift her hand.

Wang Mama approached Su Qianqian and whispered her thanks: "I am Wang Mama, the steward of the Meng family. Thank you, Miss Su, for saving my young lady's life. This world is often harsh on women. Please keep the matter of the human trafficker a secret, Miss Su."

After saying that, he took out a purse and stuffed it into Su Qianqian's hand. When he touched Su Qianqian's thin, claw-like hand, his eyes showed a look of sympathy.

"Good child, keep this money to buy more good food. You are at the age of growing up, so you must eat more good things."

Su Qianqian understood perfectly well that this was a bribe and hush money from Wang Mama, and Wang Mama wouldn't feel at ease if she didn't accept it.

She happened to be short of money, so it was a win-win situation.

Su Qianqian took the purse. It felt hard to the touch, and judging from its shape, it was probably a silver ingot. She decided to put it in her spatial storage first, as silver would be of great use to the poor Su family.

Madam Wang warmly shook Su Qianqian's hand and invited her to spend the night at the Meng residence.

"It's too late, Miss Su. Please stay at the Meng residence for the night. We'll send someone to take you home tomorrow."

Su Qianqian suddenly remembered that it was time to go back to the village.

Although the original owner's family was very poor, they loved her dearly and might be looking for her near the village.

"Thank you, Aunt Wang. It's getting late, I should go back to Lotus Village, otherwise my family will worry."

Seeing that Su Qianqian was determined to leave, Wang's mother did not insist, but simply gave her a sincere curtsy.

"Miss Su, it's too late today. Our master and mistress will definitely come to your door another day to reward you handsomely."

"Mother Wang, you don't need to be so polite. Saving Baozhu was just a simple thing for me."

Without wasting any time, Wang's mother quickly waved and called a young man over.

"Zhu Zi, you are responsible for driving the carriage to take this Miss Su home. Remember, Miss Su is a distinguished guest, so you must make sure she gets back to Lotus Village safely."

Zhu Zi readily agreed, "Yes, yes, don't worry, Aunt Wang, I'll definitely deliver it safely."

Not far from the Meng residence, Zhu Zi was ordered to go back and hitch up the carriage. In less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, he brought the carriage over.

"Miss Su, please get in the car."

The pillar knelt in front of the car door, serving as a boarding stool.

He was a sixteen-year-old boy, still growing, so he looked rather thin.

Su Qianqian couldn't bear to step on it, so she jumped onto the carriage and waved to Meng Baozhu while lifting the curtain.

"Goodbye, Miss Meng; goodbye, Mother Wang—"

Meng Baozhu, still weak, leaned against the sedan door and waved her hand weakly, "Goodbye, Sister Su. We'll see each other again soon."

Tears welled up in her eyes, threatening to spill over.

Although we only met today, I feel extremely reluctant to part ways.

The carriage headed towards the city gate.

Su Qianqian was preoccupied with catching the human traffickers.

Although she had told the city guards about the human traffickers when she entered the city, she felt that the guards were unreliable and didn't seem to care much, so she planned to report the matter to the county government.

"Brother Zhu, how far is it from here to the county government office?"

"Not far."
