Jin Xiao ran towards them in a hurry. Despite the urgency of the situation, his steps were light and graceful, with a touch of elegance. Several hooligans were hot on his heels.
"I told you so," Mu Lixue waved her hand.
She had brought many bodyguards with her, and Yi Qing also had her secret guards.
Jin Xiao ran to Yi Qing and hid behind her, tightly grasping her wrist.
"I advise you not to meddle in other people's business," a hooligan threatened when he saw Yi Qing and the others.
"It's the first time someone has dared to say I'm meddling," Mu Lixue waved her hand.
Seeing that the other side was not to be trifled with, the hooligans directly threw out several thunderbolts.
"Be careful, it's a smoke screen," Yi Qing immediately covered her nose and mouth. "Ruohong, take the children away."
Ruohong picked up a child in each arm and turned to run.
Naturally, the Mu family's bodyguards protected Mu Lixue first. To avoid the smoke, Yi Qing stepped back and accidentally bumped into Jin Xiao. They both fell to the ground. Seeing them fall, the hooligan rushed over with a knife.
"Sister-in-law, be careful," Jin Xiao tried to block Yi Qing.
Yi Qing pulled Jin Xiao back sharply and then ran to one side. As a result, they rolled down the hillside.
"Madam!" Ruohong was startled.
"Kill them," Mu Lixue was furious when she saw Yi Qing in trouble.
Previously, they didn't want to bother with a few hooligans, but now that such a thing had happened, how could those hooligans be a match for the Mu family? They were quickly killed.
"Yi Qing?" Mu Lixue shouted from above.
"Please take care of our young master, Miss Mu," Ruohong put down Xiaoran and immediately went down to look for Yi Qing.
"I'm here," Yi Qing called out with difficulty.
There were some large rock crevices below. Although the position was not very high, they had rolled into one and were stuck inside.
"Madam, wait a moment," Ruohong was relieved to hear that his madam was okay.
Just then, Xiao Jinghan arrived. Hearing that Yi Qing was in trouble, he jumped down directly. As a result, he saw Yi Qing and Jin Xiao stuck together.
He jumped down and pulled Yi Qing out directly.
"Ah!" Jin Xiao was squeezed and let out a scream.
Seeing Xiao Jinghan's angry look, Yi Qing said, "We met some hooligans. Hurry up and pull Young Master Jin up. If he's injured, Grandpa will be angry."
At this time, Ruohong brought some people and quickly pulled Jin Xiao up.
There was blood on Jin Xiao's back and elbows, staining his clothes red.
"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law?" Jin Xiao waved his hands in the air. "What's wrong with my eyes?"
A guard beside him supported Jin Xiao.
"Maybe it was injured by the lime in the smoke. I'll take a look at it when we get up," Yi Qing comforted him.
Xiao Jinghan carried Yi Qing up horizontally. "Are you hurt?"
"No," Yi Qing glanced at Jin Xiao.
When they rolled down, Jin Xiao had held her tightly to protect her, so she was unharmed.
"Find a doctor for Young Master Jin. Let's go," Xiao Jinghan ordered.
"Let me take a look at him," Yi Qing felt quite sorry.
"Men and women should avoid physical contact," Xiao Jinghan stared at Yi Qing.
"It doesn't matter. I just have some skin injuries. Just find a doctor," Jin Xiao quickly said. His obedient appearance was quite pitiful.
"He said it's okay," Xiao Jinghan looked at Yi Qing.
Yi Qing was a bit helpless. Xiao Jinghan was really too overbearing in this regard. "Go and check the identities of these hooligans and how they got here."
"Yes," Ruohong saluted.
Jin Xiao was taken back, and Xiao Jinghan continued to take Yi Qing to enjoy the chrysanthemums. Mu Lixue was originally afraid of Xiao Jinghan, and with such an accident, she quickly left.
"I'm a doctor after all. Can you stop being like this in the future?" Yi Qing discussed with Xiao Jinghan.
"No," Xiao Jinghan said directly.
"Can you..." Yi Qing had tried not to be angry with Xiao Jinghan, but as soon as it came to her contact with other men, Xiao Jinghan would be completely unreasonable. "Has Jin Xiao's identity been confirmed?"
"Yes, it's okay," Xiao Jinghan's expression improved a bit.
"I always feel something is strange."
"Then stay away from him."
Yi Qing felt that they couldn't have a good conversation. They ate something and picked some chrysanthemums on Dongjie Mountain at noon. Yi Qing thought she needed to clear the internal heat, and then they left Dongjie Mountain.
Back at the General's Mansion, Wu Min was lying listlessly on the stone table in the yard. She was still lazy when she saw Yi Qing come back.
"What's wrong?" Yi Qing sat down and looked at Wu Min.
"Today, Lu Tianxun took me to the Double Ninth Poetry Gathering. He could do everything, and everyone surrounded him. Many women even gave him sachets and handkerchiefs, but I got nothing."
"So what do you want?"
"Why doesn't any man give me something?" Wu Min was a bit annoyed.
It was the first time Yi Qing had heard someone say that they wanted to have an affair so justifiably. "Well... this is the custom in the Great Jin Dynasty. Lu Tianxun didn't accept them, did he?"
"No, he always held my hand, but others always said some sarcastic things. I don't know what they meant." Wu Min always knew that she didn't understand these things very well.
Yi Qing wondered why Lu Tianxun suddenly started to socialize. He used to dislike socializing very much. Could it be because of the matter of the poor scholars that Lu Tianxun had changed his mind?
"Didn't you used to say that as long as you had Lu Tianxun, why do you think so much?" Yi Qing thought Wu Min was not firm enough.
Wu Min thought for a while and shook her head. "That's because you've never been excluded."
Yi Qing was already used to being excluded. "So what do you want to express by coming to me?"
"How can I make everyone think that Lu Tianxun is marrying up by marrying me?" Wu Min looked at Yi Qing.
Yi Qing thought this was quite difficult. "Why do a couple have to distinguish between marrying up and marrying down? It's good that they are together."
"You don't understand," Wu Min looked like an experienced person. "I'll stay at your place for a while."
"Don't play with those bugs," Yi Qing reminded.
That night, the Duke of Di rushed to the General's Mansion. Because Jin Xiao's eye treatment was delayed, he almost went blind. Of course, the Duke of Di came to inquire.
"Xiaohan, do you think Qing'er is the kind of person who would do something out of line? You asked her to stand by and watch. If something happened to Jin Xiao, how could I face his family?" the Duke of Di was very angry.
To prevent Yi Qing from being punished, Xiao Jinghan said that it was he who didn't allow Yi Qing to treat Jin Xiao. The Duke of Di originally had some concerns, afraid of angering his granddaughter. Now he had no concerns at all and scolded Xiao Jinghan to his heart's content.
"Qing'er is a doctor. You know that. What you're doing now makes Qing'er very embarrassed," the Duke of Di said earnestly. "Let Qing'er go and take a look tomorrow. Make sure nothing happens to Jin Xiao."
"Yes," Yi Qing nodded.
"I'll go with you," Xiao Jinghan thought he was right. "I'll also apologize to Young Master Jin."
"That's right. Jin Xiao has no close relatives. In the capital, we are his only relatives," the Duke of Di said satisfactorily.
"No," Xiao Jinghan was very repulsive to Jin Xiao. "I just don't want to make Grandpa angry." Xiao Jinghan was so straightforward that it was annoying.
