After saying that, Mu Fengqie helped up the old woman and the little boy. Amid their repeated thanks, she turned around and left with Xiao Qing.
Xiao Qing looked at Mu Fengqie with admiration. She never thought Mu Fengqie could be so handsome when treating and saving people. She had become a little fan girl of Mu Fengqie.
"Miss, you didn't see the doctor's face turn green just now. Many people were praising you for your superb medical skills, even better than a living immortal!" Xiao Qing said proudly.
Mu Fengqie smiled and waved her hand. She deliberately mentioned the location of the medical clinic just now to spread her reputation. Then her medical clinic wouldn't be as deserted as it was now.
Although Mu Fengqie didn't know if this would work, at least she had done a good deed. If she hadn't been there today, the four - year - old little boy might have died.
Her dream was to treat and save people. Since she entered the medical profession, she had known the sense of achievement of being a doctor. However, not every patient had a chance to live. She had diagnosed incurable diseases countless times and witnessed the passing of her patients with her own eyes. So from then on, she made up her mind to try her best to snatch people from the hands of Yama and give those patients the hope of survival!
Back in the courtyard, Xiao Qing began to clean up and down. Mu Fengqie no longer had to sit in the courtyard and daydream as usual. Xiao Qing's arrival made her no longer feel so lonely, and she increasingly felt that time passed quickly.
After Jing Xinche went hunting in the mountains, he sent the furs to Chen's Fur Shop. He had a considerable income every day, which was enough for them to live on.
Jing Xinche bought Mu Fengqie's favorite sugar - roasted chestnuts. With anticipation on his face, he was walking home on the road. His extraordinary vigilance soon made him notice something was wrong.
The footsteps behind him changed with his steps. He was being followed. Realizing this, he no longer slacked off and started to take detours in the alleys. He walked very fast. With the help of his lightness kung fu, he soon got rid of the person behind him.
After making sure the surrounding environment was safe, he quickly walked back home. The person who followed him today was of unknown origin. He wasn't sure if it was someone from the court. If his whereabouts were really discovered, they couldn't live there anymore.
When he got home, Mu Fengqie and Xiao Qing had already prepared the meal and were waiting for him. Seeing such a warm scene, Jing Xinche felt a warmth in his heart.
It would be nice to live such a plain life with Mu Fengqie. However, he had to clear his father's name. He couldn't let his deceased father and himself bear the charge of colluding with the enemy and betraying the country. His father had been a warrior all his life, and his lifetime reputation couldn't be ruined by him.
"Why are you back so late today? Wash your hands quickly and come over for dinner!"
"Okay, Qier. No matter what happens in the future, I won't let you get hurt."
After saying that, Jing Xinche put down the things in his hands and entered the house. Mu Fengqie was completely confused when she heard this. She didn't know why he suddenly said such strange things. However, she was willing to believe him. She knew he wouldn't let her get hurt.
Today was the Mid - Autumn Festival, a good day for family reunion. Mu Fengqie couldn't help but feel a bit emotional. In her previous life, she was also alone during festivals. But now it was different. She had Jing Xinche and Xiao Qing by her side.
At night, Jing Xinche put on a mask and night clothes and sneaked out. He was going to find out who the person who had followed him today was.
Mo Bai had been waiting for Jing Xinche in the woods early. As soon as Jing Xinche's figure appeared, Mo Bai knelt down.
"My lord."
"Have you found out who the person who followed me today is?" Jing Xinche said coldly.
"Replying to my lord, I fought with that person. That person's martial arts were as good as mine. He should not be an ordinary civilian. In my opinion, he might be someone from the court."
As soon as the person started following Jing Xinche, Mo Bai knew that he was highly skilled in martial arts and was probably a secret guard. His whereabouts had indeed been discovered. It seemed that he had to act faster.
Jing Xinche had been secretly collecting evidence, but he never knew who wanted to harm him. So the investigation was much more difficult. However, if he continued to drag it on, he might implicate Mu Fengqie.
"Follow that person and find out the master behind him. Remember not to tip off the enemy."
Now the enemy was in the dark and they were in the open. They could only bide their time for the moment. Presumably, since the person's action had failed today, the person behind would surely send someone else to follow him.
After giving a few instructions, Jing Xinche disappeared into the night. Instead of going back to the courtyard as usual, he secretly went to the Supreme Court.
The Supreme Court was heavily guarded. He carefully avoided the patrolling guards and climbed over the wall into the court to look for the files.
The Supreme Court recorded all the cases, so there must be a record of his case at that time. Maybe he could find a clue from the files.
It took him a while to finally find his case file. He stuffed the file that recorded his crime of colluding with the enemy and betraying the country into his bosom. But when he was about to leave, he accidentally knocked over the files on the table. The files fell to the ground and made a noise, which was soon heard by the guards outside.
"Who's there? Come on! There's an assassin!"
The guard's shout attracted more guards. Jing Xinche was tightly surrounded by more than a dozen guards. Since he had already been exposed, he could only break through from these guards.
Soon he fought with these guards. His martial arts were extremely high. Even more than a dozen guards were no match for him. However, being outnumbered was not an advantage. A moment of inattention might lead to a sneak attack.
Sure enough, after a while, he got injured. He didn't waste any more time. He used his internal force to strike a palm, knocking all these guards to the ground. Then with a leap of his lightness kung fu, his figure disappeared without a trace in the Supreme Court.
Early the next morning, Mu Fengqie was woken up by Xiao Qing's scream. She looked at Xiao Qing sleepily, wondering why the usually steady Xiao Qing was so excited today.
"What's wrong? What happened?" Mu Fengqie asked puzzledly.
Xiao Qing's face was full of horror. "Miss, the young master... he's covered in blood. Miss, come and take a look quickly!"
Hearing this, Mu Fengqie realized that the place beside her was empty. It was only the second watch now, and it was still dark outside. Normally, Jing Xinche wouldn't have left at this time.
Xiao Qing couldn't sleep. When she went to the toilet, she found someone in the courtyard. She was also startled. Summoning up her courage, she stepped forward to check and found that the person lying in the courtyard was actually Jing Xinche.
But why was he lying in the courtyard? And why was there so much blood on him?
