“Madam, there is still water inside, but it’s cold, do you want to change it for some clean hot water?”

“I want to drink sweet soup, go buy it from outside in a while,” Ye Muyu finished saying these words and then took another coarse breath, “and buy a maidservant as well, one with a clean background.”

“Yes, Madam.” Chunqin did everything according to her instructions, and Ye Muyu also had him check the luggage in the room again, it hadn’t been touched, perhaps those two people only wanted to kill her and didn’t notice the luggage in the room.

Ye Muyu felt relieved in her heart, and after Chunqin left, she took out a pill from her waist and fed it into her mouth.

It was hemostatic medicine, made according to the instructions she had given to Lu Sangqi, she had taken one before sleeping the previous day, which allowed her wound to heal faster.

Before long, the sky was completely bright.

Cries of hawkers came from downstairs, as the house was already close to the street.

Chunqin returned very quickly, and as he opened the door, Ye Muyu saw another one of Eunuch Ren’s guards standing at the doorway.

“Madam, I bought this girl from a Broker, she is said to have substantial strength and can take care of people,” Chunqin said while placing the food on the side.

Ye Muyu looked at the young girl, who appeared to be only fifteen or sixteen years old, and asked, “What’s her story?”

Chunqin called out to her to answer.

The young girl knelt down: “Madam, this servant girl is named Cao Ya, my father gambles and sold me when he could not pay off his debts.”

“With such strength, you should be able to do heavy work in the countryside,” Ye Muyu felt it strange.

“It was I who spoke up, otherwise, my father was going to sell my younger sisters, they are still young, we don’t have much land at home, I can only fetch some firewood from the mountain and gather wild vegetables, not much food to be found.”

“Then from now on, you will be called Chun Xing,” Ye Muyu said.

Cao Ya kowtowed: “Thank you, madam, for giving me a name.”

“Chunqin, buy her a set of clothes,” Ye Muyu instructed and then let Chun Xing feed her.

“The tea in the room is not fresh anymore, pour it all into the flower pot.”

Chun Xing did not know why she would say this, but after she had finished feeding her the porridge, she obediently poured out all the tea in the house.

“Just say we drunk it to outsiders,” Ye Muyu instructed while looking into Chun Xing’s eyes.

Chun Xing was stunned for a moment and asked subconsciously, “Madam, why?”

“Just do as you’re told, and don’t ask too many questions, it’s nothing good.”

Seeing her clean and innocent eyes, Ye Muyu did not want her to get involved in this matter, as she herself was not certain who was behind the attack.

“This servant understands,” Chun Xing did not ask further.

She spent the entire morning tidying the room, fetching water, wiping Ye Muyu’s face, and changing her dressings.

With guards standing at the door, no one approached her room all morning.

Ye Muyu also felt at ease to recuperate.

In the afternoon, when she was drowsy and waiting for news from the county government, there came a hurried footsteps outside the door.

She looked towards the doorway instinctively, and Chu Heng had already entered the room, his gaze fell on her face as she lay in bed, and a flash of urgency that even he was unaware of passed through his eyes.

“What happened?” Chu Heng was already sitting by the bed; Chunqin took Chun Xing down and closed the door of the room on the way out.

Ye Muyu: “It’s nothing, the injury is not serious. Have you investigated everything clearly yet?”

A low murmur came from Chu Heng’s throat, “Mhm, I already have the evidence. Just, I didn’t expect you to get hurt.”

Ye Muyu smiled lightly, “It’s all right, it’s just an accident, merely a superficial wound.”

“Oh, I went with Eunuch Ren and singled out some cases in the archives storage that County Magistrate Sun has tampered with over the years, along with the Official Silver from the county government, they’re in the two boxes over there. Fetch them for me, I’ll show you how to read the information I’ve written there.”
