After sending Liu Zhi away, Gu Siyuan and Qin Zhongwan recuperated at Liu's house. Mrs. Liu was a warm-hearted person, and she had received a gold bracelet, so she would not deprive the two of them.

Although he had to be on guard every day, maybe at some point, Gu Siyi's people would come to his door. Until that day, life was peaceful.

Qin Zhongwan enjoyed the long-lost tranquility and did not have to live in fear in the mountains. Gu Siyuan's injury gradually improved under the care of him.

Three days later, Liu Zhi rode a donkey cart with several people on the cart. The donkey cart drove into the village. Chang'an and his sister Changqing looked at each other, both of them a little surprised.

The master is actually hiding here?Straight over a mountain.

"That's it. You go down first. I still have to return the donkey cart."

Chang'an came to his senses, jumped up first, and stretched out his hand to support Chang Qing.

Liu Zhi shouted, driving the donkey cart away.

Chang'an secretly raised his heart, "knocked" twice, and knocked on the wooden door.

There were footsteps inside the door, which did not sound like martial arts. Then, the door opened, revealing the face of a simple woman.

"You are?"

"I came here to find my relatives, a boy and a girl, but at this sister-in-law's house? Brother Liu dropped us off at the door here. He said he wanted to return the donkey cart."

Chang Qing took over the conversation, speaking carefully and not revealing any identity or whereabouts.

Chang'an also pointed his finger in the direction the man left.

The ordinary woman smiled when she heard this. She was not too wary and said, "Da Liu, a big man, doesn't entertain guests first. Maybe the donkey has escaped. Please come in quickly." He opened the door and welcomed a few people. Come in.

"Miss Qin, your relatives are here to look for you,"

Mrs. Liu turned around and greeted the house behind her.

Under the nervous and expectant eyes of the group, Qin Zhongwan pushed the door open and walked out.

"Second Miss!" Chang'an was overjoyed, and Changqing also curled up her lips, "Second Miss, I don't know..." Changqing hesitated to speak, Qin Zhongwan understood, and she turned sideways, revealing the scene inside the house.

Gu Siyuan was half leaning on the edge of the bed, expressionless as always, but there was still a hint of joy at reunion in his brows and eyes.

"We're finally here." Chang'an said with a neither salty nor cold tone, "I know that our master Jiren has his own destiny, and with God's blessing, nothing will happen to him."

Mrs. Liu closed the door thoughtfully and asked the family to say a few words of appreciation.

After learning that the reason why Gu Siyuan was lying on the bed was because of the injury he suffered, Chang An's carefree smile instantly dissipated. He looked up at Gu Siyuan, then quickly lowered his head and said with a look of self-blame, "It's all my fault. The subordinate did things poorly and failed to find his master when something went wrong, otherwise, that villain wouldn’t have had the opportunity to take advantage of him!”

What he said was so cruel that Chang An clenched his fists tightly, wishing he could kill a wave of people who injured Gu Siyuan on the spot.

"Okay, let's set off today and return to the base as soon as possible."

Chang'an wanted to say something more, but was stopped by his sister's look. Changqing leaned down and saluted, "Your Highness, I have something to report, but this is not the place to talk right now. An Yi has already gone to buy a carriage and will be there in a moment."

Qin Zhongwan took one look at the simple environment of the farmhouse and decided to leave after all.

Life here is poor, but there is no intrigue. If possible, if Qin Zhongwan really wants to live in such a peaceful small village, it would be best to build a medical center here...

"Miss Qin, please leave with us."

Chang Qing's words brought Qin Zhongwan out of her beautiful fantasy. She suppressed the rolling emotions in her eyes and nodded lightly.

"it is good."

When Mrs. Liu heard that several people were leaving immediately, she showed a bit of reluctance.

"There is nothing good at home. This is the dry food I made myself and some medicinal materials I picked. It is not a good thing. People say it is better to be prepared."

The things that Mrs. Liu held were far inferior to the palace tributes, and the medicinal materials were only of average quality.

But when he met the farmer's kind eyes, Qin Zhongwan's eyes became sore, "Thank you, sister-in-law."

Gu Siyuan casually glanced at Changqing. Changqing immediately informed her and sneaked into the house on the pretext that she had taken less things.

Sister-in-law Liu was used to having more people at home. After sending Gu Siyuan and Qin Zhongwan away, she turned around and saw the empty house, feeling a bit reluctant and sad.

Before she could even finish her sigh, Mrs. Liu saw the purse placed on her table. As soon as she opened it, a golden light suddenly appeared, making Mrs. Liu froze on the spot.

It’s actually a gold ingot!

By the time Mrs. Liu chased her out, the carriage had already disappeared and was gone.

An Yi was driving at the front, scanning everything around him with a pair of eagle eyes. In the car, Chang Qing reported on the shocking flaws they discovered when their master was away.

"The Mazhuang Station purchased a batch of fodder that day, and that batch of fodder was finally transported to the stables."

Chang'an had long felt that something was wrong with the man in the stable. He saw the man hiding the key with his own eyes, and learned about the purchase of fodder at the inn, which further confirmed Chang'an's suspicion.

"...Who did the station purchase from?" Gu Siyuan hit the nail on the head.

"Prefect Lin." Changqing said in a heavy tone.

Unexpected yet seemingly someone who intended it.
