When they were safely out of sight, Du Jiuyue let out a long breath and sighed. "Idiot, who said we were dead?"

"But …" Lily widened her eyes in shock. Her eyes blinked, not knowing how to describe what she was thinking.

"Alright, we're not dead yet." Du Jiuyue smiled complacently, "When you get back to your residence, don't say anything. The First Wife asked you a question and said that you didn't know anything when you fainted."

"Oh!" Lily was still in a daze. Seeing that her young lady's expression was bad, she didn't dare to speak anymore. She had long since realized that something was wrong with her young mistress, but she was still her young mistress. Her appearance had not changed at all, and she had no idea what was going on.

Just as Lily was puzzled, the carriage suddenly stopped.

"What happened?" The last thing Du Jiuyue wished for now was to run amok.

"We bumped into someone." The coachman's face was pale. He was trembling as he replied honestly. He opened the curtain of the car and looked at Du Jiuyue with tears in his eyes.

Du Jiuyue's brows were scrunched together as she subconsciously clenched her fists. She felt extremely helpless. This was called having both fortune and not having two enemies at once.

Without hesitation, Du Jiuyue jumped off the carriage. She was wearing a long robe, not a long skirt.

In front of the carriage, a person was lying motionless on the ground. In this short period of time, a group of people had already surrounded them.

"Miss …" Lily was so scared that she was trembling in the car, unable to move. From the looks of it, the person who was hit was already dead and lying there motionlessly.

Du Jiuyue swept a glance at the surrounding onlookers, then quickly stepped forward to test the breathing of the person lying on the roadside. She then tested the neck, and knew that he was still breathing. She started to check on his injuries, but after a while, she still could not find any obvious injuries.

She frowned slightly. She felt that this matter wasn't that simple.

He probed his meridians yet again. They were extremely chaotic and weak, as if they were suffering from severe internal injuries. However, his seven meridians and eight meridians were not injured at all. He then looked at that person's eyes and mouth …

Narrowing her eyes, Du Jiuyue smiled. It seemed like she was going to attract everyone's attention again.

"I spent a lot of money to buy this medicine." Du Jiuyue didn't even raise her head as she loudly said that, as she fed the man a Detoxification Pill. Clapping her hands, she stood up and implicitly said, "I don't care who you are. Bring the silver over afterwards!"

After saying that, she turned and boarded the carriage without even looking back. "Return to the residence."

The coachman hesitated for a moment. Then, he circled around the man and returned to the carriage.

However, the spectators were annoyed. They started a commotion: "Which family does this lady belong to? "I ran into a dead person and left just like that, I really don't place the commoners in my eyes …"

"That's right, is there still a law?"

"I know, she's that Sixth Princess from Prince Qi's Palace who's dipping into the pig cage …" Someone took the opportunity to shout loudly in the crowd. It was like they were poking a hornet's nest as they surrounded Du Jiuyue's carriage. Some of them even started to beat the carriage with all their might, "Get down, get down for us … There must be an explanation today. "

Du Jiuyue's eyes narrowed dangerously. Her patience was limited, she knew that these people were ignorant fools, but ignorance was not the reason for their mistakes.

Du Jiuyuehuo lifted the curtain of the carriage and shouted, "If you dare to cause trouble again, you are waiting for the government to come and arrest you, right?"

Du Jiuyue's voice and manner of speech were instantly stunned for a moment. But very quickly, a bold person standing far behind angrily shouted at Du Jiuyue: "You dare to run into people in the street and report to an official?! "We still need to report to the officials to capture you …"

"That's right, we'll report it as well." More and more people gathered up their courage and echoed, "We definitely can't let her escape. How preposterous, it's even reasonable for her to run into someone …"

Du Jiuyue's face sank as she looked at the people in the crowd who were fanning the flames. She gave Lily a meaningful glance before raising her voice again. "Lily, someone attacked the Sixth Princess's carriage on the street. What should be their punishment?"

Lily was stunned for a moment before realizing what was going on. She summoned up her courage and said loudly, "Send it to the government for sentencing."

This question and answer, however, roused the people outside from their rage in an instant. This woman was the real Princess Qi. She was not someone one could casually offend.

Seeing that the opportunity was not good, a few people quietly left the crowd. Without the people who were trying to fan the flames, the ordinary citizens were no longer able to cause a ruckus and slowly dispersed.

Du Jiuyue looked at the person lying in front of the horse carriage and noticed that he had also disappeared without a trace. These people were using him thoroughly. Some were using him to cure the poison, while others were using the commoners to make trouble, trying to kill him.

The coachman was quite frightened. Now that he had snapped the horsewhip, the speed of the carriage was much faster.

Upon returning to Du Residence, Lily jumped down from the carriage first. The head steward, who had been standing in the front yard all this time, had cried out miserably, "Ghost — — There's a ghost — — —"

He was clearly going to identify the corpse, but the corpse jumped out of the car. If this wasn't a ghost, then what was it?

"Shut up." Du Jiuyue glared at the head steward and led Lily to her own courtyard. "Tell the first wife that I'm back."

Next, she still needed his Du Residence to do one more thing for her.

"Lily, eat something first. Let me see if there's any residual poison in your body." As soon as Du Jiuyue entered the courtyard, she pushed Lily into the room.

It was best not to let Du Family know about Lily's poisoning. She had already thought about it, and would just pretend that this matter had never happened.

"What?" Is there a ghost? Daytime, where did this ghost come from? " After listening to the butler's report, Madame Du could no longer hold it in. She jumped up from her chair in shock, "You're saying that Du Jiuyue brought Lily back to the courtyard? You even became a ghost? "

Her face had changed, too, as white as a ghost.

"Yes, yes, yes, this old servant saw it with his own eyes." "Lily came out of the carriage and walked back to the courtyard with Ninth Miss." The butler described what he saw, trying to make himself more realistic.

"Quick, bring a few more people and chase that ghost girl out. "No — to kill — to kill." Madame Du screamed at the top of her lungs. She was so scared that she was about to collapse.

"What are you talking about?" Du Cangliang, who returned to the mansion after leaving the morning assembly, heard his wife screaming for someone to beat them to death from the inner courtyard. He couldn't help but to lower his face and shout angrily.

"Master — Master, the mansion is haunted." The moment she saw Du Cangliang, Madame Du seemed to have found her backbone. She let out a sigh of relief and turned around to face him.

"What ghost?" Du Cangliang stood there motionlessly with a face as dark as water as he glared at his wife.

"Lily — Lily is clearly dead, but — but she is now in Lady Nine's room —" Madame Du's thoughts were a mess and her words were a mess.

"In broad daylight, do ghosts dare to come out? What nonsense! " Du Cangliang looked at his wife in disappointment. "Stop spouting nonsense. Send someone to bring some clothes to the Sixth Princess and let her prepare. Return to Prince Qi's Palace."
