Chapter 1821: Chapter 1818: Speculation

At the same time, she stood up and walked to Ye Muyu’s side, placing her fingers on Ye Muyu’s wrist.

The Sacred Girl of Southern Border felt the pulse for a moment and returned to her seat.

Ye Muyu tidied her sleeves, looked kindly at the Sacred Girl of Southern Border, and asked, “Miss Bai, how am I? My body is fine now, isn’t it?”

“It’s fine.” Bai Lan relaxed completely, and her probing thoughts retreated, “The lady just has a common high fever; a few days of rest will do.”

Ye Muyu said happily, “I told them I was fine, but the family just wouldn’t feel at ease. Speaking of which, Miss Bai, what kinds of flowers do you grow? The elders in my family love growing flowers. I’m not well-versed in them, so I must trouble you to give me an introduction.”

Bai Lan meticulously listed the flower names, and the two chatted for fifteen minutes about the care observations for growing flowers.

As they ended, the Sacred Girl of Southern Border stood up and bid farewell to Ye Muyu, “When I return, I’ll send the flowers the lady likes. If there’s anything else of interest to the lady, feel free to contact me.”

“Alright.” Ye Muyu seemed in good spirits and instructed the servants to see the Sacred Girl of Southern Border out.

The Sacred Girl of Southern Border slowly walked out of the mansion, witnessing a strict yet warm household.

Once outside the Chu family’s estate, seated in the carriage, the Sacred Girl of Southern Border spoke, “Find a way to contact her and have her rescue the Witch Doctor.”

The old woman listened and asked again, “Saintess, have you made up your mind? Are you sure the Chu family hasn’t noticed anything?”

“As for Madam Chu’s side, there shouldn’t be any issues. She doesn’t seem to be pretending. But whether Lord Chu knows, I’m not certain.” The Sacred Girl of Southern Border rubbed her forehead wearily, “I knew that having the Witch Doctor take action would cause problems. Now that the Witch Doctor has been taken away, we can’t leak any information. We don’t even know what those people intend with the Witch Doctor.”

“Saintess, the Witch Doctor only acted once. As long as the Chu family doesn’t find out and we haven’t caused them any real harm, it’s best to back off now.” The old woman considered carefully and advised.

The Sacred Girl of Southern Border frowned, her graceful brows and eyes carrying concern, shaking her head, “It’s not that simple. As long as she’s around, we can never be entirely uninvolved.”

“What do you plan to do then, Saintess?” The old woman was calm and assured her unwavering support.

The Sacred Girl of Southern Border remained silent for a while before saying, “This matter indeed needs resolution. Let’s take back what we want and leave.”

“What if she doesn’t give it to us?” The old woman sighed softly but didn’t try to dissuade her.

“If she’s unwilling, we’ll have to make her willing…” The Sacred Girl of Southern Border’s words were light, yet they carried firm determination. At the corner, she had the carriage circle half of the capital before returning to the post station.

Ye Muyu, having seen off the Sacred Girl of Southern Border, took a sip from her teacup and could confirm that this time, the Sacred Girl of Southern Border did not bring any medicines.

That was expected, after all, this is the Chu family, and they wouldn’t dare have such audacity.

However, she wondered how well she had acted just moments ago, and Ye Muyu couldn’t help but smile slyly.

In the afternoon, Zhu San sent word, saying the Sacred Girl of Southern Border’s carriage had toured around the capital.

She recorded the locations of their movements and connected them into a route map.

She said to Su Mei, “Tell Zhu San and the others to endure these days and keep a close watch on the Sacred Girl of Southern Border and her servants, alternating in shifts.”
