While Wei Yilin was digesting all this, Wei Ruo poured the drug from the bottle onto a handkerchief, briskly moved forward, and covered Wei Yilin’s mouth and nose with it.
Wei Yilin’s 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 couldn’t let anyone see her in such a disarrayed state.
“Miss! Miss!”
Hearing Xiumei calling her, Wei Ruo’s heart was filled with relief. Seeing no one else by Xiumei’s side, Wei Ruo quickly ran to her.
“Meimei, I’m here!”
“Miss!”
Seeing Wei Ruo looking so panicked, Xiumei was deeply worried, “Miss, what happened to you?”
“I’m fine, take me back to the carriage. I need to clean myself up quickly. Then, I’ll tell you where Wei Yilin is, and you can send someone to find him.”
Xiumei didn’t 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 Ruo’s 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?”
“Don’t worry, Lady Zhang, let’s keep searching, maybe we’ll 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 isn’t too good, I can’t see clearly.”
“Don’t squint, let’s 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! I’ll stay here and watch!”
After hesitating for a moment, Lady Zhang finally reacted: “Alright, I’m 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 miss’s 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.
