While Wei Yilin was digesting all this, Wei Ruo poured the drug from the bottle onto a handkerchief, briskly moved forward, and covered Wei Yilins mouth and nose with it.

Wei Yilins hands and feet were still tied up, leaving him no way to resist.

He stared wide-eyed at Wei Ruo, disbelief rising within him as he lost consciousness.

After he passed out, Wei Ruo untied him; keeping him bound for too long might have hampered blood circulation, potentially damaging his limbs.

Then Wei Ruo turned her head and cautiously checked the pulses of the two Japanese Pirates, confirming that they were indeed dead. She then cleaned up the scene, taking away the leftover dried sweet potatoes and bags on the ground.

Finally, she staggered and escaped from the scene.

She avoided the crowd searching for Wei Yilin; she couldnt let anyone see her in such a disarrayed state.

Miss! Miss!

Hearing Xiumei calling her, Wei Ruos heart was filled with relief. Seeing no one else by Xiumeis side, Wei Ruo quickly ran to her.

Meimei, Im here!

Miss!

Seeing Wei Ruo looking so panicked, Xiumei was deeply worried, Miss, what happened to you?

Im fine, take me back to the carriage. I need to clean myself up quickly. Then, Ill tell you where Wei Yilin is, and you can send someone to find him.

Xiumei didnt understand why Wei Ruo wanted to do this, but her many years of knowing Wei Ruo made her realize that she needed to act quickly and follow Wei Ruos instructions in this urgent situation.

With the help of Xiumei, Wei Ruo successfully avoided the others and returned to the carriage.

While Wei Ruo was resetting herself, Xiumei followed the address given by Wei Ruo to locate Wei Yilin. On the way, she ran into Lady Zhang and specially called her over.

Lady Zhang looked worried: What if something happened to the young master?

Dont worry, Lady Zhang, lets keep searching, maybe well find him. Xiumei reassured her while following the direction Wei Ruo had given.

Lady Zhang, look over there. Does it look like someone has fallen down over there? Xiumei asked, pointing to a spot halfway up the mountain.

Wait a minute, my eyesight isnt too good, I cant see clearly.

Dont squint, lets just go for a closer look! Without uttering another word, Xiumei grabbed Lady Zhang and headed up the hill.

As they approached, Lady Zhang was scared out of her wits.

Dead bodies! Dead bodies! Lady Zhang, who rarely encountered such scenes in her secluded life in the grand mansion, was immediately pale with fright.

Lady Zhang, the young master is there! Xiumei pointed to Wei Yilin beside the corpses.

Ah? The young master? Is he okay? Lady Zhang was simultaneously eager and apprehensive.

Xiumei went up to Wei Yilin and picked him up: The young master is fine, he just passed out.

She then instructed Lady Zhang to call for help: Lady Zhang, quickly go and let the others know! Ill stay here and watch!

After hesitating for a moment, Lady Zhang finally reacted: Alright, Im going. Lady Zhang staggered down the mountain, calling out for help as she went.

While Lady Zhang was away, Xiumei warily looked around again to ensure there was no evidence of her young misss presence.

Yilin! Yilin!

Wei Yilin was awakened by the noise, he opened his eyes and saw Lady Yun.

Wei Yilin was held by Lady Yun, and in front of him were Wei Qingwan, who was sobbing with red eyes, and Wei Yichen with a worried expression on his face.

The crowd that had come to the South City to find Wei Yilin was also present almost everyone from the Military Prefecture was there, except for Wei Ruo. After freezing for a moment, Wei Yilin suddenly burst into tears.

Mother! Mother!

Lady Yun held Wei Yilin in her arms, distressed.

Wei Qingwan also crowded in, Yilin, Im so glad youre okay!

Sister Sister Hearing Wei Qingwans voice, Wei Yilin cried even harder.

After crying for a bit, Wei Yilin glanced around and asked, Mother, wheres Wei Qingruo? Where is she?

Yilin, do you want to see your eldest sister? Wei Qingwan asked, surprised and confused. Why would Yilin want to see Wei Qingruo at such a time?

Yes, where is she? Where is she? Wei Yilin pursued.

Yilin, whats wrong? Why do you suddenly want to see your big sister? Lady Yun was also puzzled.

I saw her she Wei Yilin remembered the last thing he saw.

His mind was a mess. How was it possible that Wei Qingruo, who was begging for mercy from the Japanese Pirates a moment ago, would kill the two Japanese Pirates the next moment?

Mother, where are the two Japanese Pirates? Where are they? Wei Yilin asked anxiously.

Yihn, dont worry. Its okay, those two Japanese Pirates are dead. Lady Yun quickly tried to calm him down.

Who killed them? Did you see? Wei Yilin asked again.

He wanted to confirm whether what he had seen was true.

We dont know yet. When we found you, they were already dead, Lady Yun replied.

They didnt have an answer to this question. It seemed someone found them first, killed the two Japanese Pirates, and then saved her son.

But they didnt know why that person didnt show up.

It was Wei Qingruo. It must have been her. She killed the Japanese Pirates!

Wei Yilin became more convinced that what he had seen was real.

Yihn, what are you talking about? If your big sister had been the one to rescue you, theres no reason for her to have left without telling us. Wei Qingwan was quick to say.

No, it wasnt like that, she was with me when

Before Wei Yihn could finish, Wei Ruo appeared: Are you looking for me

Yilin?

Wei Ruo pushed through the crowd and entered Wei Yilins line of sight.

The complexion on Wei Ruo was bright; the only sign of distress on her was a bit of dirt on her clothes.

But walking in the fields of the South City and getting dirt on oneself wasnt abnormal.

Wei Yilin stared wide-eyed at Wei Ruo, his expression complex.

Wei Qingwan noticed that Wei Yilin was staring hard at Wei Ruo. She clenched her fists and was quick to say: Yilin, you must be mistaken. Your sister just got here. Theres no way she killed the two Japanese Pirates.

Unbeknownst to her, the answer Wei Ruo wanted was exactly that. A thirteen-year-old girl getting tied up by pirates for over an hour was much more terrifying than her saving Wei Yilin.

Its impossible, I clearly saw it! Wei Yilin shook his head, the image was far too real in his mind.

Yilin, you were frightened today and fainted. You must be hallucinating, Lady

Yun speculated.

1 As he heard Lady Yun and Wei Qingwan persuading him, Wei Yilin was no longer so sure.

Does it mean he was really hallucinating?

Were his recent memories about Wei Ruo all fake?
