If there is a shortage of medicinal materials, the Huang Mansion can just send people to look for it. Why bother to invite people to the manor.
Ye Niang also understood this truth and stood up from her third daughter's arms, her face pale.
"Third sister, you stay and look after the shop. Mother will come back as soon as you go."
After saying that, he left the shop regardless of the obstruction of his third daughter Ye Jia, and the servants of the Huang family hurriedly followed.
Ye Jia called several times from behind, but got no response. She stamped her feet anxiously and turned back to the yard.
"Doctor Gong Zhi, Doctor Gong Zhi, a servant from the Huang Mansion came to invite my mother to the Huang Mansion, but she went alone. I'm worried. Can you help me look after the embroidery workshop?"
Gong Zhi, who stayed at home, spent day and night reading medical books and studying the treatment of smallpox, and rarely went out for several days.
Ye Jiameng almost wasn't frightened when he saw him looking so miserable with black eyes and messy hair and clothes.
None of the beauty and charm she had when we first met.
"I have martial arts skills, please stay."
Gong Zhi left a few words in a hurry and went to chase Ye Niang.
He was unable to help his little junior sister's illness, so he had to at least protect her family.
Hearing this, a bitter smile appeared on Ye Jia's face. Yes, her three-legged cat kung fu couldn't save her, let alone protect her family.
She shook her head and returned to the embroidery workshop, eagerly hoping that her mother and eldest sister would appear at the door.
As soon as Ye Niang left the embroidery workshop, she took a shortcut to get to the Huang Mansion quickly, which was an alley less traveled by.
She was so busy on her way that she didn't notice that the eyes of the Huang family servants who were following behind her suddenly turned sinister. He slipped out a dagger with his right hand and stabbed her in the heart.
Ye Niang suddenly felt a chill on her back and was pushed hard from behind. She subconsciously looked back and fell a few steps to the ground due to the force.
Gong Zhi got into a fight with the servants of the Huang Mansion, and their moves were fatal.
In terms of martial arts, he had the upper hand and was soon able to subdue the servants of the 'Huang Mansion'.
However, several men in black appeared and attacked them with swords, mainly targeting Ye Niang.
Gong Zhi was alone and had no skills. Seeing that Ye Niang was about to die under the killer's sword, he hurriedly whistled.
Another man in black appeared. He had a different purpose from the other men in black, and his martial arts skills were much higher than theirs. He easily rescued Ye Niang.
"Keep alive," Gong Zhi had just finished speaking.
The killers were killed by the man in black with one blow. Even the killer disguised as a servant of the Huang Mansion saw that he could not kill them, so he immediately bit open the poison sac and committed suicide.
Gong Zhi looked regretful as he went to search the killers, "As expected, there were no clues."
The man in black he called out saved the person and left quickly.
Ye Niang almost died, and it was the first time she witnessed the bloody scene of murder with her own eyes. She couldn't help but lean against the wall and retching.
After a while, her mood calmed down, and she raised her head to ask Gong Zhi, who was waiting next to her.
"Zhi'er, thank you for saving me. Is the man in black you summoned just now specifically to protect you? Tell me your thanks."
"But do you know who they are and why they want to kill me?"
"I don't know. I just guess that they are warriors specially trained by a certain force. They specially look for the time when the master and the others are not around to act. I think they are afraid of one of the master and the others."
Gong Zhi nodded and shook his head, expressing his guess.
"The Huang Mansion does not have the strength to cultivate so many dead soldiers."
That means there is no news about Xiaoyun and the others in the Huang Mansion.
No news now is probably the best news.
Ye Niang breathed a sigh of relief, "Okay, let's go back quickly, lest another killer comes."
She didn't dare to walk into an uninhabited alley, and followed Gong Zhi closely along the way. Anyone who came near would be like a frightened bird, thinking they were coming to kill her.
Attracting constant attention.
