The Ace Bigshot Becomes A Farmgirl

However, regardless of whether the master wants to kill to silence, Meng Yunzheng and Shu Yu will not deliberately go to that shop to inquire about anything at this critical moment.

Crisis is lurking around them, and it’s not a time for additional complications.

Everything must wait until Ms. Wei wakes up before proceeding.

The two of them strolled down the street, and the people tailing them accompanied their stroll, growing more and more anxious with each step.

It’s been four or five days since Meng Yunzheng and Shu Yu arrived, why haven’t they contacted Qi Lie yet?

What exactly are they waiting for?

Or have they already contacted him, but if they have, why are they staying in Qingxuan County and not leaving?

Surely they don’t want to find the black market’s address. But the black market is outside the city, and their activities have consistently been confined to near the inn. They’ve interacted with very few people these days and have investigated them with no issues.

No matter how agitated they become, Meng Yunzheng and Shu Yu continue their schedule as usual.

It’s just that Ms. Wei hasn’t woken up, which makes them quite worried.

Fortunately, on the third afternoon, Ms. Wei finally showed signs of waking up.

Zhao Xi used the excuse of having concocted medicine to invite them to his room.

As soon as Shu Yu and Meng Yunzheng entered the room, they saw Ms. Wei, frowning and occasionally opening her eyes.

Ms. Wei had lost too much blood, her vision was a bit blurry, and she still couldn’t see clearly. She only felt someone talking, but the voice seemed distant.

She woke briefly, then fell into a deep sleep again.

This is a good sign; even Zhao Xi breathed a sigh of relief.

Ms. Wei slept through the night, and by noon the next day, she finally woke up once more. This time she was much clearer-headed. Seeing Zhao Xi’s back and surveying the room, she realized she was in an inn. Feeling the pain in her abdomen, she knew she had been rescued.

She tried to speak, but having not spoken for a long time, she couldn’t make a sound.

It wasn’t until Zhao Xi turned around, looked at her happily, and whispered, ”You’re awake?”

He poured Ms. Wei a cup of water to moisten her throat before asking, ”How do you feel?”

”I’m... alright, thank you.” Her voice was hoarse, and she looked at Zhao Xi gratefully.

He waved his hand, ”No need to thank me, as long as you’re okay.”

Ms. Wei remembered how she had desperately fled from the backyard, hid in the alley, and then fainted. She knew nothing about what happened later and asked Zhao Xi, ”Did you save me?”

”I wasn’t the one who saved you from the alley, but I am a doctor, and I treated your injuries.”

So it was.

Zhao Xi saw that she was a bit clearer-headed now, so he asked her, ”What’s your name?”

”Sister Song Juan.”

Zhao Xi was surprised, ”Sister Song Juan? Aren’t you Wei Qin?”

Ms. Wei’s eyes widened in disbelief, ignoring the dizziness in her head, she asked incredulously, ”You... how do you know?”

Zhao Xi raised his eyebrows, understanding, ”So you are indeed Wei Qin? Sister Song Juan is your current alias?”

”Do you know me?” Wei Qin looked at Zhao Xi, certain she’d never seen him before. Why did he know her real name? This was too strange.

Zhao Xi stroked his chin, ”I don’t really know you, but I’ve seen your portrait.”

Wei Qin suddenly thought of her escape from the wealthy merchant’s family in Huajiang Prefecture. It’s clear that they would definitely use her portrait in search efforts. Perhaps he’s seen it in Huajiang Prefecture?
