"Aru, you can't do this. Just think about it. The two of you are living in one room. What if those black - clothed men come again? Wouldn't you both be in great danger?"
These words made Aru recall what had happened not long ago. She thought that if it hadn't been for her that night, her elder sister might not have been threatened and then captured.
Suddenly, the little girl wilted, hanging her head with a disappointed look on her face.
Mu Fengqie didn't stop Yuan Yuhan from speaking either, because she suddenly remembered that last night this little girl had hugged her so tightly that she could hardly breathe. She shivered involuntarily.
Well... it's better not to sleep with her. It's not her idea, but what your future husband said, so you can't blame me.
"Okay then, but elder sister, when we get back, I still want to sleep with you." The little girl's eyes sparkled brightly, as if no one could stop her from sleeping with her elder sister.
Mu Fengqie twitched the corners of her mouth speechlessly and replied, "Okay, as you wish." What else could she do? After all, this girl was her younger sister, and she had to give in.
"Go to bed early. We have to hit the road early tomorrow."
"Okay."
Mu Fengqie lay in bed, thinking about all that had happened. Since she had traveled to this world, she seemed to have been constantly busy. There was always someone causing trouble for her, and she never had a single day of leisure.
Moreover, there were so many rules in this ancient time that one could easily make mistakes if not careful.
This made her miss the modern world. She had been care - free there and had many apprentices. It was a pity that she could never go back.
What she couldn't let go of the most were her little apprentice and her big apprentice. Her big apprentice was so stubborn and inflexible. If he found out that she was related to Zhang De, she was really afraid that he would do something illegal.
As for her little apprentice, he was extremely talented but just didn't focus on the right things. Back then, she had spent a great deal of effort to make him a good doctor, but unfortunately, he was still a bit unreliable.
Suddenly, a rooster's crow interrupted Mu Fengqie's memories. She looked at the sky and found that it was already dawn. She was surprised that she had stayed up all night.
Mu Fengqie washed up and went out for breakfast. But when she got downstairs, she was a bit dazed by Aru's exclamation.
"Oh my god! Elder sister, did you stay up all night? Your dark circles are so heavy and your complexion is so bad." Aru looked at Mu Fengqie in surprise.
Mu Fengqie touched her face. Was her complexion really that bad? She hadn't looked in the mirror when she got up this morning and just came out.
"It's nothing. I just didn't sleep well. Don't make a fuss. I'll catch up on sleep in the carriage later."
Jing Xunce looked at Mu Fengqie's haggard face and felt very distressed. What had happened to Qie'er last night? Why hadn't she slept well? He regretted that he hadn't gone to check on her last night.
During breakfast, Jing Xunce kept putting food into Mu Fengqie's bowl. There was hardly any room left in her bowl.
"I'm already full. You don't need to put any more." She couldn't eat so much.
"Okay."
Hong Yi watched their interaction and became more and more dissatisfied with Mu Fengqie.
It was a great blessing for this woman that her husband was serving her food. But she didn't even appreciate it. She was really ungrateful.
If Mu Fengqie had known what Hong Yi was thinking, she would have regretted saving such an ungrateful person. Not only did he not show any gratitude, but he also disliked her in his heart and even wanted to drive her away!
After breakfast, they set off. In the carriage, Mu Fengqie dozed off unsteadily. Her sleep was not peaceful. She swayed from side to side, and several times her head almost hit the carriage.
Jing Xunce quickly supported Mu Fengqie's head with his hand and gently leaned her head on his shoulder. Then he put his arm around her shoulder to prevent her from falling.
Perhaps finding a comfortable position, Mu Fengqie rubbed against Jing Xunce's shoulder and found a cozy spot to continue sleeping.
Aru saw Jing Xunce's actions and couldn't help but mutter in her heart. He was just feigning concern. Humph, now he was trying to please her. Where had he been before? If it weren't for the fact that elder sister had feelings for him, she would have already made them get divorced.
At noon, the group arrived outside the Witch Clan Village. Jing Xunce gently woke Mu Fengqie up.
When Mu Fengqie woke up, she found that she had fallen asleep leaning on Jing Xunce. But she didn't show any special expression. She just got out of the carriage with a straight face.
"Is this the Witch Clan Village?"
"Yes, it is. Qie'er, let's go in."
Just as they were about to knock on the village gate, the gate suddenly opened from the inside, and several people rushed out in a hurry.
Yuan Yuhan casually grabbed one of them and asked, "Brother, what's the hurry? What happened?"
"Who are you?"
"Oh, we're here for help. We want to ask your clan for a secret technique."
Hearing this, the man being grabbed seemed to lose most of his hostility. After all, there were many people coming to their village for help every year, and they were used to it.
"Brother, you haven't told me what's going on in the village. Maybe we can help."
The man glanced at Yuan Yuhan and his group, then said, "You can't help. Our clan leader's wife is having a difficult labor. We're going to find a doctor. Since you're here for help, go talk to the people at the gate. Don't stop me. I have to find a doctor too."
Mu Fengqie and the others looked at each other and then stepped into the village.
The brother at the gate led them into the village. On the way, they saw a noble - looking girl rushing out in a hurry.
"Saintess, are you going out for something?"
"Mother is having a difficult labor. I'm going to find a doctor. Move aside quickly and don't block me."
"No. You're the saintess of our Witch Clan Village. If anything happens to you, we brothers can't take the responsibility."
Several people blocked the saintess and refused to move.
"Saintess, I'm a doctor. Maybe I can help you." A clear voice rang out, making those who were arguing stop.
The saintess looked at Mu Fengqie and frowned.
"You're a doctor? How can I trust you?"
"Saintess, you can rest assured. We're all in the Witch Clan Village now. If we wanted to harm the people in the village, you could just send someone to arrest us."
Mu Fengqie guessed that the midwife was at a loss with the difficult labor of the clan leader's wife, and the doctor was late. So if she could save the clan leader's wife, it would only be beneficial to her.
