Shi Ye listened for a while before her expression softened. She shook her head at Qiao Yuyan and said, "It's okay! Let's go!"

"Miss, who on earth do you want me to see? Why do we have to leave the town at night and climb up a wall in the middle of the night? Am I a doctor or a thief?"

Qiao Yuyan immediately apologised, "I'm sorry, Doctor Zhou. The situation is really special, so I have to bother you like this. Don't worry about it. After this matter is done, the consultation fee will definitely be high."

Shi Ye pulled the doctor to the front to clear the way for Qiao Yuyan. Although they had watched those people leave, the three of them did not carry lanterns just in case. They just relied on the faint starlight in the sky.

Not long after they walked out of the nunnery, a whistle suddenly sounded, and something behind Qiao Yuyan broke through the air. Before she could react, Shi Ye rushed over, and then they fell to the ground together.

"Quick, catch them! There really is a trap!"

Qiao Yuyan was shocked. She didn't know who it was.

Shi Ye immediately pulled out a soft whip from her waist to block the man. "Miss, you and Doctor Zhou leave first. I'll stop them."

"Miss, you go first. I'll stop them." Qiao Yuyan got up and looked at Shi Ye who stayed there to protect them. Suddenly, it overlapped with the scene when Shi Ye stopped the bandits for her in her previous life.

Suddenly, her heart ached, and she felt a burning pain in her chest. "Shi Ye!"

"Miss, find a place to hide first. If someone sees you, your reputation will be ruined!" As Shi Ye spoke, someone had caught up, and she waved her whip to fight back.

Qiao Yuyan bit her lips. Was it because of her changing that the fate of Shi Ye was changed and the ending was brought forward?

But her mother...

"Oh, I'm in trouble!" Qiao Yuyan was still struggling to make a decision, but Doctor Zhou on the side reacted faster than her. He grabbed her arm and said, "Why are you still standing there? If you don't leave now, her efforts are all in vain, are they?"

Being dragged by him, Qiao Yuyan couldn't tell the direction, so she could only move forward step by step.

Unfortunately, before they could run far, they heard a voice coming from another direction. "There! She's there. Catch her quickly and don't let her run away. It's just as the noble lady expected!"

"The noble lady?" Qiao Yuyan thought quickly and became even more anxious. "Has Mrs. Pei really known my intention? Wouldn't my mother be in danger?"

If she was trapped here and couldn't inform her mother, wouldn't what had happened in her previous life repeat itself?

This time, she didn't need Doctor Zhou to stop her, so she ran forward desperately. No matter what, she had to escape from these people first, and then she would have a chance to go to Qili Village!

Even if she didn't bring a doctor with her, Mrs. Xu would know what was going on. Even if she was regarded as a lunatic, she would stop it!

Only then did she realize that she had been separated from Doctor Zhou. But she didn't have time to care about it at this moment. The footsteps behind her were getting closer and closer.

"Was it an arrow shot at me when Shi Ye rushed over?"

If she ran ahead like this, she would obviously be a target. Even so, there was nothing she could do but run.

"All right, Miss Qiao, no need to run now."

A voice suddenly sounded in front of her. Qiao Yuyan couldn't stop and almost fell down.

Under the illumination of the flames, they were actually surrounded by three or four people.

"Come with us! Don't worry. As long as you are obedient, we won't make things difficult for you. In a few days, we promise to let you go back to the Qiao Family without losing a single hair." The leader looked like a malicious person, and his eyes were full of fierceness.

Qiao Yuyan felt that her legs and stomach were trembling, so she could only pinch her palms desperately to calm herself down.

"Who are you? Who sent you here?" In fact, she already had the answer in her heart, but at this time, she couldn't find a way to escape, so she could only delay it.

"Miss Qiao, there's no need to delay." The man seemed to have seen through her thoughts at a glance and waved at the others. "Tie her up and keep a close eye on her. Don't let her run away or die!"

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a sudden sound breaking through the air. Qiao Yuyan didn't see what had happened at all, and then a series of screams followed.

When the flames flashed, and her vision became clear again, those people had all fallen to the ground and groaned. A tall and straight figure stood in front of her, holding a torch in his hand, like a god.

While Qiao Yuyan was in a daze, the man slowly turned around and smiled at her, "Yuyan."

His face could be seen clearly in the fire. If everyone's appearance in the world was created by God, some people were just his casual works while for some, he put so put so much effort into them.

In that case, the man in front of Qiao Yuyan must have been a work of God, who was sitting in front of the table and writing carefully.

His facial features and face shape were just perfect. If they were a little shaper, they would be slightly rougher; if any softer, less heroic.

Qiao Yuyan hadn't seen this face for many years. When she saw it again, she felt that her heart was beating faster than before. It was probably unbelievable!

She widened her eyes and stared at him. After a long while, she said in a dry voice, "Uncle Wen, what are you doing here!"

It turned out to be Wen Tingyuan. He was the son of her grandfather's good friend. His family must have been in trouble, so then he went to the Xu family for protection.

His courtyard was right next to the waterside pavilion. It was an elegant one. When Qiao Yuyan was a child, in addition to her grandmother, the only person she loved most was Uncle Wen, who always doted on her.

Seeing the little girl in such a mess, Wen Tingyuan put the torch aside, took off his cloak, slowly tied it for her, and tidied up the hair on her forehead. Then he said lightly, "I'm just passing by."

He seemed to be always like this. He was neither fast nor slow, with a faint smile on his face. No matter what she had broken, or she had been wronged and complained to him, he had never changed his expression.

Qiao Yuyan raised her head and met his gentle eyes.

After returning to the Capital in her previous life, she had never seen Wen Tingyuan again. Even the letters she wrote to him were like stones sinking into the sea, with no response at all.

At this time, looking at him, it seemed that it was only a year, but in fact, it was a whole lifetime! At this time, it really looked like a lifetime.

Seeing that there was something wrong with her, Wen Tingyuan finally stopped smiling and looked at her seriously, "Are you hurt?"

His words reminded Qiao Yuyan that it was not the right time to look back at the past. She grabbed the hand of Wen Tingyuan and quickly shook her head, "Uncle Wen, I'm going to find my mother!"

Wen Tingyuan glanced at her little hand that was holding hers. The corners of his mouth curled up, and he nodded gently, "Okay."
