Before Jiang Zhiyue reached the cellar, she heard a knock on the door from outside.
The sound grew louder and louder. The people outside seemed to be unable to wait any longer. After shouting twice, they couldn't wait to kick the door.
The small wooden door fell to the ground with a bang without enduring a few blows.
"General, there are people lying on the ground in the yard."
Then a majestic voice came: "Go in and investigate the situation."
Jiang Zhiyue listened to the sounds outside, leaned on the door and carefully peeked out.
"Who's there?"
Those who walked into the yard raised their weapons towards the house and moved cautiously in front of the house. Jiang Zhiyue saw those people wearing official uniforms and expected that they must have come after hearing the noise.
Immediately, Jiang Zhiyue saw a familiar face in the crowd.
She crooked her fingers and knocked on the door frame with her knuckles, shouting loudly outside: "Don't do it, we're on our own."
The majestic voice said: "Who is it? Come out on your own!"
It was such a loud sound that the people in the cellar also heard it.
They immediately stopped beating someone to vent their emotions and quietly listened to the noise outside.
The people outside urged again: "Hurry up!"
Jiang Zhiyue opened the door and walked out without being humble or overbearing.
Qi Qi in the cellar also heard the majestic voice and shouted excitedly: "Abo, Abo!"
As soon as Jiang Zhiyue walked out, Liang Wuji recognized her, and the next moment he heard the sound of Qiqi coming from the house.
Liang Wuji said to a man standing upright next to him: "Brother, it's Qiqi!"
And the man whom Liang Wuji called his eldest brother was none other than Dingxi General Liang Wuxia.
Liang Wuxia stared at Jiang Zhiyue and said, "Go in and take a look to see if Qi Qi is okay."
Liang Wuji walked anxiously into the house. When he reached Jiang Zhiyue, he stopped and turned around and said to Liang Wuxia: "By the way, brother, this is the girl I told you who saved Qi Qi on the road."
Liang Wuxia then put away his suspicious and wary eyes, but he still looked at Jiang Zhiyue with a sizing look.
Jiang Zhiyue didn't pay attention to his eyes. After Liang Wuji entered the house, she turned around and went in because she heard the little girl Qi Qi calling her.
The officials behind also followed Liang Wuxia in and lit the lights in the room.
The room became bright, and Liang Wuxia held a candle and walked behind Jiang Zhiyue and the others. Jiang Zhiyue and Liang Wuji simultaneously squatted half-crouched at the entrance of the cellar and looked inside.
The first thing that caught the eye was Yu Niang, whose hair and clothes were messy. Her face was bruised and bruised, and there was blood under her nose.
Jiang Zhiyue scanned the ground and asked, "Did you hit me?"
The girls were excited when they saw official officials arriving. They finally waited until someone came to rescue them.
They were a little embarrassed when they heard Jiang Zhiyue's words. They just saw this bad woman fall in and wanted to teach her a lesson. They didn't expect to beat her so badly.
Before they could answer, Jiang Zhiyue smiled and said, "Well done."
"Daddy! Sister!"
Liang Wuji saw Qi Qi standing at the bottom with a flushed face and her hands raised towards them, and he fished her up without thinking.
Liang Wuxia waved his hand behind and ordered: "Go down, two people, and pull up all the people below."
"yes!"
Liang Wuji held Qi Qi and walked aside. Qi Qi lay on his shoulder and looked at Jiang Zhiyue.
"Sister, you are all wet. Are you cold?"
Jiang Zhiyue took two steps closer and rubbed her head.
Liang Wuji stopped and looked at Jiang Zhiyue and asked, "Girl, are you uniforming those people outside?" "Yes."
All the people in the cellar were brought up, and it was already late at night, and it was already the curfew time. It was unrealistic to let them go back, so they could only be placed here first.
Wait until tomorrow to let the person who lost the child claim it.
Apart from being frightened, these people had no other serious problems, but a few of the children had developed high fevers. Liang Wuxia arranged for his officers and soldiers to go to the general's mansion to bring over the doctor.
As for food, they had just found it in the kitchen in the courtyard, so they were allowed to fill their bellies first.
Brothers Liang Wuji and Liang Wuxia naturally discovered that Qi Qi also developed a high fever.
Liang Wuxia arranged for several officials to escort Liang Wuji and Qi Qi back home first.
Also going back was Jiang Zhiyue. Although Liang Wuxia wanted to ask her about the situation in the yard, he could see that she was already feeling a little unwell.
Thinking that Jiang Zhiyue was still the benefactor who had saved Qi Qi twice, and that she had made a contribution this time, he let her go back first.
It was raining heavily on the road, so a few people walked back to the General's Mansion in silence, without saying a word all the way.
General Dingxi’s wife is Lin. As her surname suggests, she is a gentle-looking woman.
At this time, in the main hall of General Dingxi's Mansion, Lin and Zhou Wei were sitting together and looking out anxiously. From time to time, they would ask the servants next to them if there was any news coming from outside.
But the answer I heard every time was no.
After waiting anxiously for a while, the concierge came happily and said: "The eldest madam, the second madam, the second master and the young lady are back."
Zhou Wei's heart suddenly dropped. When she stood up suddenly, her eyesight felt a little dark. She asked anxiously: "Has Qi Qi been found too?"
The porter who came to deliver the message continued: "What I said to the Second Madam is absolutely true. I just saw the Second Master carrying the young lady back with my own eyes. Now he has gone to the backyard and called the doctor over."
Zhou Wei's heart suddenly rose again, and she cried: "Call the doctor? My Qi Qi, has she suffered something?"
The porter stood there with his head bowed. When the young lady came back, she was wrapped in the clothes of the second master. He didn't see what happened. He only heard the master shouting for the doctor to be sent to the house.
Zhou Wei almost lost her balance, but Mrs. Lin quickly supported her.
She comforted her in a calm voice: "Don't worry, the simple man has been found as well. Let's go and have a look. Qi Qi may be scared now."
After Jiang Zhiyue returned to the General's Mansion, she was taken to the guest room by the servants arranged by Liang Wuji. Hot water and a change of clothes were delivered within a moment.
Jiang Zhiyue simply scrubbed her body, and as soon as she changed into her own clothes, she heard a maid outside calling her softly.
"Miss Jiang, the young lady is clamoring to see you. The second master asked his servant to come and ask if it is convenient for you."
Jiang Zhiyue opened the door directly and said, "Let's go, take me there."
"Hey, Miss Jiang, please come with me."
The maid walked in front, and Jiang Zhiyue followed behind. After a while, she arrived in front of a lighted room door.
Qi Qi's voice came from inside the door: "I want a sister, I want a sister."
Outside the door, the maid knocked lightly and said, "Second Master, Miss Jiang is here."
