The night passed, and dawn arrived. The entire place was covered by a thick layer of fog, making it hard to see the treetops in the courtyard.

The people of the Yuchi clan could not stay still throughout the night. They were all as anxious as ants on a hot pan. Even after seeing Yuchi Yao's high fever, they still did not abate.

This early morning, the gate of Yuchi Manor was being knocked non-stop. Someone came to report that Lord Cai Cheng had been murdered in his yard, asking Yuchi Xiang to take a look. Originally, Yuchi Xiang hadn't slept last night due to his daughter's fever. Just as he was engrossed in the news, his heart was burning with rage. After receiving the report, Yuchi Xiang walked into Yuchi Yao's room in a fluster. He saw his wife and Ah Zhu anxiously looking down at the patient on the bed. Beads of sweat dripped down from their foreheads, while their eyes were filled with tears.

Yuchi Xiang walked over and probed his daughter's forehead, but the fever had yet to subside. His voice became abnormally anxious. "Are you going to call the doctor again?"

Ah Zhu said panickedly, "They've already been sent for." Tears fell from his eyes.

Yuchi Xiang paced around the room and said, "Ah Zhu, go get Young Master Yan." Madam, you wait here for the doctor, I'm going to the Cai mansion to have a look. "

Pearl wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with her sleeve and hurried out the door.

He still needed someone to answer the bell. The illness that came out of anger was something that a doctor would not be able to cure.

Yuchi Xiang looked anxiously at the pale-faced girl lying on the bed. His lips turned white, and he quickly rushed out the door.

The fog on Chang'an Street began to disperse, and the sunlight shone through the fog.

Ah Zhu walked on the road in a fluster, taking step by step, her eyes filled with tears.

Liu Feng, who was wearing red clothes, followed her closely even though she didn't know why the servant girl was so anxious. He could just follow her like this.

The informant knocked on the door to wake her up. Liu Feng hurriedly got out of bed, afraid that she would miss this chance. Ever since she failed to steal the opportunity, this maid had stopped going out, even Yuchi Yao did not go out.

When Ah Zhu was about to enter into a more remote area, Liu Feng quickly followed and pressed down on her acupoints.

When the unconscious Ah Zhu woke up again, she was already lying in a strange place with a mosquito net over her head. It was obvious that she was lying on the bed, struggling but unable to move her hands and feet.

The unfamiliar empty room was eerie and frightening, not a single sound could be heard from the surroundings.

"Help, help!" The frightened Ah Zhu screamed out loud.

A moment later, the door opened and a man in red walked in. Ah Zhu did not recognize him.

Liu Feng smiled and walked over to the bed. She squatted down and asked, "Miss, you weren't scared, right?"

"Where is this place?" "Let me up." Ah Zhu screamed with all her might. The face of this strange man frightened her.

"No rush." Liu Feng still had a smile on her face as she said amiably, "If Miss can help me with something, I'll get you up."

"What do you want me to help you with? It's not like I know you." Ah Zhu tried to struggle but had no strength left in him. The only thing he could move was his head, as his whole body had been punctured and unable to move. Tears welled up from the corners of his eyes. He was both afraid and anxious. He thought about how his young mistress was still feverish in bed and yet he had to rush over to call for Young Master Yan. At this moment, he had no idea where he was and what kind of person this strange man in front of him was.

"Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you." Liu Feng stood up and said, "It's very simple. Go and get me something."

Ah Zhu who was lying on the bed remained silent. His eyes stared at the man in red with fear, not knowing what his intentions were.

Liu Feng walked over slowly, looked into Ah Zhu's eyes and said, "Help me get those jade horns."

Jade horn, jade horn. This jade horn almost took her life last time, and now this terrifying stranger was asking her to take the jade horn for him, the corner of her mouth slightly trembled.

"Let me go, let me go. I want to leave this place. " Ah Zhu shouted hysterically, tears streaming down his face and soaking the side of his pillow.

"As long as you agree to steal that jade horn for me, I guarantee that you won't be in any danger." Liu Feng approached Ah Zhu and said. The amiable smile on her face had turned into a cruel and fierce smile, like a terrifying beast.

"I can't, I can't." Ah Zhu shook his head hard while tears gushed out of his eyes.

Liu Fengli straightened his body and revealed a crafty smile. He raised his hand and snapped his fingers in the air.

Immediately a man came in with an old woman and a silly man.

The old woman saw Ah Zhu on the bed, tears in her eyes, and tried to walk over, but the man stopped her.

When Ah Zhu saw the two coming in, she panicked. "Mother." Watching her mother enter, she was unable to move, and could only shed tears.

Liu Feng once again approached Ah Zhu, who was lying on the bed, and slowly said, "I told your mother that her daughter is sick, and your mother rushed over from the village in a hurry, and that brother of yours." Liu Feng pointed at the two people standing in the middle of the room.

At this moment, Ah Zhu really wanted to struggle, really wanted to go to his old mother's side. He had been at Yuchi Prefecture since he was young. In order to provide for his mother, who was unable to work, and his silly older brother, he only had these two family members.

"Look at how much your mother loves you and loves you dearly. She came all the way from the village." Liu Fengqing softly said.

The scared Ah Zhu could not speak, he could not stop shaking his head, tears fell like rain.

"I'm afraid that if you can't get Jade Horn, your mother and your brother won't be able to go back."

"No. "No." Ah Zhu kept shaking his head. The pillow under his head was soaked.

"If you want your mother and brother to return to the village, you must do as I say." Liu Feng threatened.

"Ah Zhu. What's the matter with you? Are you feeling unwell? I need to see a doctor. " The elderly mother looked at Ah Zhu who was lying on the bed and shouted worriedly. The person who wanted to go to the bed wouldn't let her move, so the silly man behind her just looked around the room.

"Mom, I'm fine." Ah Zhu choked with sobs.

Liu Feng walked to the side of Ah Zhu and said amiably, "Aunt, don't worry, Ah Zhu will be fine soon. You go to the next room to rest first, I'll go get a husband for Ah Zhu." With that, he beckoned for the two of them to leave the room.

Liu Feng walked to the bed again and looked at the grieving Ah Zhu.

"I'll go get it. I'll get it. Let my mother and brother go." Ah Zhu begged sorrowfully.

Liu Feng, who turned around and left, showed her sly smile again.

When a person was forced into a corner, the most hopeless situation would be the weakest. Ah Zhu looked at the despair that covered the mosquito net, at the air of despair that enveloped her, and thought of his close sister-in-law on the sickbed. She thought of her waxen cheeks, and of her old mother, and of her foolish brother.
