Pei Shu’er smiled and once again sent so water and pastries to the injured, giving each person a box of burn ointnt.
When Pei Shu’er delivered the pastries to the abbot, she noticed the abbot glancing at her several tis.
Then, his brows slightly furrowed, "Young lady, your destiny is truly strange."
Pei Shu’er, upon hearing the word ’destiny,’ was keen to listen, and promptly squatted down to hear what the abbot had to say.
"Your destiny seems not to be your own."
Pei Shu’er’s heart skipped a beat; this person had skills and seed to have noticed sothing.
Pei Shu’er, always seeking a way to break through her predicant, couldn’t help but ask.
"May I ask the high monk for his insight?"
The high monk said, "Your destiny seems to be intertwined with another. His life is your life; his death is your death."
Pei Shu’er was taken aback, not quite understanding.
Why would her destiny be entangled with soone else’s? Hadn’t she always faced her death alone?
But soon, she thought of Tang Zan.
When Tang Zan was in mortal danger, she would receive so kind of hint.
She hurriedly asked, "High monk, why am I entangled with him?"
The high monk turned the Buddha beads in his hand and slowly shook his head.
"I cannot say."
Seeing that she could not obtain more from the high monk, Pei Shu’er sighed and prepared to leave.
As she walked ten ters away, the high monk’s voice faintly reached her ears.
"This disaster will pass, unless... soone willingly exchanges their life."
As these words were spoken, Pei Shu’er froze on the spot, hurriedly turning back to look at the abbot, only to find him once again turning the Buddha beads with his eyes closed, as if he hadn’t spoken at all.
Yet, Pei Shu’er’s mood was hard to calm.
Mrs. Hu sat in the carriage, occasionally looking at Hu Yun, then at Pei Shu’er.
When Pei Shu’er ca over, she quickly waved her over.
"Sister, if you’re injured, rest more and don’t move around too much."
Pei Shu’er nodded and then said to Mrs. Hu, "Sister, we can’t stay here tonight. Why don’t you make do in our carriage for the night? Our carriage is better equipped."
Mrs. Hu looked at Pei Shu’er, then at Hu Yun in the carriage, feeling sowhat uneasy.
"Let’s go back to Su County together, rest at my house for a night. It’s much more comfortable than staying outside. It’s only a few kiloters away, the carriage will get there quickly."
Pei Shu’er feigned surprise.
"I’m from Su County too. I originally intended to co and pay respects, but I didn’t expect such an event. Fortunately, this ti I managed to save so many people, which is a good thing."
She looked at the unconscious child in her arms, feeling a bit anxious.
"Is my son alright?"
Pei Shu’er nodded, "Don’t worry, give him so water later, he’ll wake up soon."
Pei Shu’er said, "I’ll look after him in the carriage, you can rest in another carriage."
Once in the carriage, Pei Shu’er secretly gave the child so oxygen and fed him Spiritual Spring Water, his complexion improved significantly, and he slowly regained consciousness.
When they reached the city gate, Mrs. Hu took out a Token, and the guards quickly let them through.
After entering the city, Mrs. Hu had Pei Shu’er take them to the County Governnt gate, then knocked and entered the governnt office.
The County Magistrate ca out personally to greet them. Pei Shu’er saw that he was a tall, slender man with handso features.
Indeed, in these tis, one couldn’t hold office without good looks.
Seeing the sorry state of his wife and son, County Magistrate Hu’s eyes reddened instantly. He reached out to hold them both, soothing them with gentle words.
"Let’s go back quickly, Madam has truly suffered."
Once inside, County Magistrate Hu asked, "You said that young lady saved you, did you ask her identity?"
Mrs. Hu was startled, a bit anxious.
"I was too rushed earlier, I forgot to ask."
They hurried back outside but found that the street showed no sign of the carriage.
Previously, Mrs. Hu had so doubts about the young lady’s intentions, but seeing the situation now, she knew the young lady was indeed kind-hearted.
Unable to find her savior, she felt a bit uneasy.
The young lady had such severe facial injuries while saving her, maybe even disfigurent.
A life-saving grace must not go unreturned.
Pei Shu’er also returned and, upon doing so, gave all those who participated in the rescue three taels of silver.
Additionally, she gave everyone a water bag mixed with Spiritual Spring Water, which would aid in healing their wounds.
Pei Shu’er also applied more Spiritual Spring Water to her own injuries and drank so.
Fearing scars, she went into her space at night to bathe in the Spiritual Spring Water.
She found that as she planted more crops, the production speed of the Spiritual Spring Water increased as well.
White Tiger, who had been nurtured in her space, had now grown into an adult tiger and was very intelligent.
Seeing Pei Shu’er bathing, it would even fetch her a bathing robe.
The next morning, Pei Shu’er looked in the mirror and found the scars on her face were barely noticeable.
When it was ti to open for business, a queue of custors waited at the door.
When Pei Shu’er opened the door, with a veil on her face, people couldn’t help but glance a few tis.
After entering the pastry shop, they began selecting pastries to buy.
At that mont, a group of governnt officers surrounded the entrance, led by WangLintao.
This ti he brought two or three dozen governnt officers, and ten officials, all ard.
"Is Mrs. Pei here? Let her co out."
The custors beca a bit panicked due to the commotion outside; buying things was fine, but it wasn’t worth losing their lives over.
Pei Shu’er smiled to reassure the custors.
"It’s nothing, you can take your ti picking, I’ll go and see. As long as you don’t step outside this door, it’s safe."
Pei Shu’er’s smile and soft words seed to have a calming effect, making everyone settle down quickly.
Yinxing and Honghua attended to the custors, guiding them in their shopping, diverting their attention.
Pei Shu’er went to the entrance and saw WangLintao, curling her lips into a mocking smile.
"My Lord, you’re here so soon."
WangLintao snorted coldly.
"Of course, I was preoccupied a few days ago, but now I have the ti. Naturally, I must deal severely with this pest."
Pei Shu’er asked, "Oh? What wrong have I done?"
WangLintao wanted to say more, but noticed Pei Shu’er seed to be stalling. Recalling the previous incident, he grew wary.
He couldn’t let history repeat itself.
"Heh, speak in the jail, we will listen to you there."
Pei Shu’er raised an eyebrow, and as the governnt officers surrounded her, she drew a whip from her waist.
WangLintao angrily commanded, "Get her!"
He couldn’t believe he brought so many people and still couldn’t handle a Mrs. Pei.
A voice called from not far away.
"I wonder who dares to act!"
