Yun Qi did not answer her, but instead, under the dim light, he sized her up before smiling in relief.

"I came to see you."

His tone was as if he were talking about something as ordinary as my shopping, as if he didn't consider his actions dangerous at all. One had to know that the Duke of Guo's residence was a prominent family with a general leading a thousand troops. It wasn't like the walls of an ordinary household where anyone could come and go as they pleased.

"Were you the one who secretly messed with me just now?" Although it was just a question, Yun Qixi was not asking, she was confirming her guess.

Yun Qi nodded his head, the faint smile on his face seemed to praise his actions, and when his gaze landed on Yun Qixi's face, it became slightly gentler, "I can't bear to see others bullying you, so I'll help you vent your anger."

"Are you courting death? What if someone finds out? " Yun Qixi suppressed her voice and said unhappily.

Although her tone was not good, but thinking back to how Yun Lanyue was fleeing in panic, she felt that she had vented her anger.

She had originally been worried about Yun Qi, but after seeing that he was still standing right in front of her, she finally relaxed.

Who knew that when Yun Qi heard her question, his smile grew even wider. He took two steps forward and drew closer to her, lowering his head to ask her this question.

"Are you worried about me?"

Yun Qixi unhappily rolled her eyes at him, "I'm worried about myself, okay? In the middle of the night, a man appeared in my room, if someone found me, I wouldn't be able to clean myself even if I jumped into the Yellow River."

Under the dim light, Yun Qi's smiling eyes suddenly curved into a beautiful arc, like two gems faintly discernible in the darkness.

"That's nothing. At most, I'll take responsibility."

Yun Qixi almost gasped, "You are in charge? How are you responsible? "

"If that Prince Jin doesn't want you anymore, I will naturally take responsibility. Then, I can only propose to your father and marry you." Although Yun Qi's eyes were filled with a smile, his tone was serious, different from the tone of a joke.

The hint of sincerity in that gaze stunned Yun Qixi for a moment as she reached out to push that man away.

"F * ck off, I'm already in a bad shape, and you're still making fun of me."

Yun Qi took a step back from her strength. A complicated expression flashed across his face for a moment, and in that instant, his playful smile returned.

"Why is he in such a bad shape?" "It's that serious?"

Yun Qixi waved his hand, "It's fine if you don't mention it, but by the way, is Xiao Yu doing well?"

"Not so good." Yun Qi shook his head.

Yun Qixi immediately became worried: "What's wrong?"

Seeing her tensed up, Yun Qi smiled faintly and took the opportunity to hold her hand. "If you want to know, then come with me."

She knew that Xiao Yu's physique was weak, so she really wanted to know what happened to her. Therefore, she followed Yun Qi out of the residence.

Thus, Yun Qi had once again impressed her. It turned out that he knew lightness skills and his martial arts were not bad. Only when she arrived outside the residence did she discover that he had actually put on his beggar uniform. He looked more and more like a bewitching fool.

"Yun Qi, what are you pretending to be a beggar for? "What exactly is your identity? You don't look simple at all." Walking on the road, Yun Qixi couldn't help but ask.

"Me?" Yun Qi seemed to be amused by her serious expression. With his hands crossed, his worn-out clothes made his footsteps seem lighter. "What do you think of my identity?"

Yun Qixi turned her head and thought about it seriously, "I guess you are a bandit that robs the rich to help the poor?"

As she asked, she looked towards Yun Qi, only to discover that he only had a smile on his face, neither denying nor admitting anything.

"Or is he a wandering genius doctor?"

Yun Qi's smile deepened, but he still didn't speak.

Yun Qixi hated people who kept her in suspense the most. Just as she stomped her feet and was about to curse at him, a group of people suddenly rushed towards them and surrounded them.

"Miss, you went to the west side of the city, and yet you came back safe and sound. We admire you."

"That's right, the plague is gone. We can go to the river west of the city to catch fish again."

Under the noise, Yun Qixi looked at the beggars around him in surprise, "It's you all?"

Back then, when we heard that there was a fire in the Eastern Willow Village, we were prepared to go all out and save them, but we didn't expect to miss you. At that time, we were a bit sad and wondered if something had happened to you.

"Yes, how can God be so blind? A good person will always be rewarded. " The one who spoke was Dong Zi, he was obviously very excited as well.

Everyone talked at once. Yun Qixi listened quietly, her heart full of emotions.

She remembered that when they had been trapped in the fire, she had said that she did not believe that God would be so blind as to turn out to be kind to her.

Looking at the group of people in front of him, even though they were at the bottom of society and had neither money nor authority, it was still a problem for them to feed themselves. Perhaps they had always received supercilious looks from others. They had lived a lowly life. But they were so warm, so pure, so much more noble than many of those who look good and are ugly in their hearts.

"Thank you for everyone's concern. I'm fine." Yun Qixi thanked them sincerely and asked Dong Zi, "Dong Zi, is your wife better now?"

Dong Zi's smile faded, he lowered his eyes and gently shook his head.

Yun Qixi comforted her, "Don't worry, I and Yun Qi will go take a look when we're free."

Soon after, a large group of people bustled over to the city's god temple. Before she even arrived, she saw a person running towards her while skipping.

"Xiao Yu, are you alright?" Yun Qixi couldn't help but be surprised to see Xiao Yu looking so lively.

Xiao Yu stopped and looked suspiciously at Yun Qi. "I-I'm fine."

Yun Qixi glared at Yun Qi, "Yun Qi, didn't you say that Xiao Yu isn't so well?"

Yun Qi smiled at her and said, "That's right. It's not good for him because he misses you too much."

"I …" Xiao Yu innocently took the blame and bit her lip, but she didn't dare to make a sound. She could only endure Yun Qi's clumsy excuse, feeling wronged.

"I think today is a good day. Why don't we go get a few jugs of wine and have a drink?" It was suggested.

"Sure, I'll pay." Yun Qi quickly took out some silver and passed it to one of them.

The man took it and excitedly pulled at another man, saying, "You guys wait here, we'll go and buy it right away."

Dong Zi hesitated for a long time before finally saying, "If everyone doesn't mind, then come to my house. Although my house is poor, the courtyard is still big enough."

Seeing that everyone had already made their decision, Yun Qixi could not bear to ruin everyone's mood, and laughed: "Alright, Dong Zi, let's go to your house."

Dong Zi lived near the City God's Temple, and just as he said, he was indeed poor, only having a small mud hut, but the fenced up courtyard outside was still spacious.

There was a great locust tree in the courtyard, with strings of locust flowers hanging from it. The ground was covered in a white light, and the faint fragrance of flowers floated in the air.

Since she had come, Yun Qixi naturally wanted to see her wife's body. Most likely, Dong Zi also had this intention for letting them come tonight.

On the crude wooden bed in the room, there was a very thin looking woman. She had a pointed chin and small facial features. Although she was sickly, she was still a symbol. Dong Zi had probably told her the story of the twenty silver before, so the gaze she looked at Yun Qixi with was filled with gratitude.

It was said that her mother's family situation was slightly better than Dong Zi's. The reason she married him at that time was because she had her eyes on Dong Zi's honest character.

Yun Qixi laughed, "You have picked the right person, picking people without looking at face, or looking at money, luck comes first, now being poor does not mean that you will always be poor. With you supporting him, there will be a day when he will give you a good life."

Cui Cui nodded with a smile, "I have always trusted him."

Dong Zi stood at the door and probably heard Cui Cui's words. He stared at Cui Cui with excitement in his eyes.

There was a saying, 'a poor couple should go through all sorts of things to mourn,' but Yun Qixi saw a rare set of true love for them.

"Don't worry, your illness was dragged out. From today onwards, don't worry about not having a doctor, and don't worry about silver. If you meet me, just based on Dong Zi's sincerity, I will definitely cure you."

There were tears in Cui Cui's eyes as she thanked him profusely, "Thank you, young lady."

Yun Qixi smiled, "No need to thank me. If you want to thank me, then thank me for seeing through my abilities."

Hearing her words, Cui Cui shyly lowered her head.

After seeing Cui Cui's illness, in order to not disturb Cui Cui, they came out of the house. Dong Zi even carefully closed the door.

Everyone was sitting on the floor in the courtyard. Someone poured a bowl of wine and passed it to them.

"Girl, let's toast your courage. If you don't mind us being dirty, drink this bowl of wine."

Yun Qixi did not reject it, but took the bowl and gulped it down.

"Good, the young lady is straightforward." The group of people applauded.

The old man who had given her the cane that day sipped his wine and said, "You can tell that she is a young lady from a rich family, but now she is willing to sit with us beggars. This young lady has an extraordinary temperament and will definitely be extraordinary in the future."

"What extraordinary technique is this?" Yun Qixi asked with a smile.

The old man said, "I see that you're blessed. If it wasn't for my old man spouting nonsense, I would have been blessed."

"Pfft!" Yun Qixi sprayed out a mouthful of wine and wiped her mouth awkwardly. "Uncle, you sure know how to joke around."

The old man smiled and shook his head, "It doesn't matter if the lady doesn't believe me, there will be a day when everything will come to an end."

Someone said loudly, "You still have to say that Old Xu's words are quite accurate sometimes. Last time when the Prince Jin went out to battle, Old Xu said that there was a calamity in the Prince Jin, and no one believed him. After all, Prince Jin has won so many battles, when did anything happen? In the end, something really happened. Are you saying that's evil? "

Yun Qixi unnoticeably frowned, and looked at Old Xu in surprise.

At the same time, Yun Qi couldn't help but look over at Yun Qixi as well, a profound look in her eyes.
