Immediately after, he ordered his family members to prepare tea and refreshments.

“Thank you…” Qin Xiaoyao cupped her hands respectfully in return and entered graciously.

Only then did Old Master Li and Doctor Li follow suit.

When they arrived at the hall, the three of them took their seats.

Only then did Qin Xiaoyao state her purpose for coming here.

Thereafter, she took little Chunhua from her back and handed her to Doctor Li.

“Don’t worry, Madam Qin. I will definitely do my best to treat her,” Doctor Li quickly said.

…..

Immediately after that, he started to give little Chunhua medical treatment.

After asking Qin Xiaoyao about little Chunhua’s condition, Doctor Li quickly came up with a diagnosis.

“The situation is indeed not optimistic.

“Fortunately, we have the medicine you need in our residence.

“In that case, I will immediately arrange for someone to boil the medicine. Madam Qin, you only need to stay here for one day and one night. After the child has taken the medicine and her fever subsides, you can leave,” Doctor Li said.

The child was quite seriously ill indeed. It would undoubtedly take half a day to boil the medicine, feed her the medicine, and then allow the medicine to take effect.

In addition, the reason he wanted to hold Madam Qin back was related to the few corpses in the courtyard.

Five mountain bandits had died in his house, and he didn’t know when the other mountain bandits would find out that something was amiss and come looking for their comrades.

With Madam Qin around, the Li family would have some sense of security.

Once she left, the Li family would be doomed if the mountain bandits came back.

As for the fact that one day and one night might not be enough, they had no other choice.

At least, while Madam Qin was here, they might be able to discuss a way to dispose of the bodies.

Qin Xiaoyao furrowed her brows slightly.

When she saw Doctor Li and Old Master Li looking at her nervously, she could guess their worries.

After hesitating for a moment, she finally agreed.

“Alright. Then I’ll have to trouble you.”

She was the one who killed those people, so there was no reason for the Li family to bear the subsequent risks.

It was only for one day and one night. Forget it. She would stay.

Doctor Li quickly stood up and said, “No trouble! No trouble! I will get someone to help clean up the guest room for you, Madam Qin.”

With that, he left the hall.

A look of helplessness flashed across Qin Xiaoyao’s eyes. When she turned around, her eyes met the gaze of Old Master Li.

Old Master Li laughed. “He’s just a coward. I hope you don’t take offense, Madam Qin,” he said.

“Doctor Li’s worry is not without reason. I’ll take care of the corpses in the courtyard before I leave,” Qin Xiaoyao replied.

Old Master Li was taken aback.

“Thank you, Madam Qin.” He then stood up and bowed to Qin Xiaoyao once more.

Qin Xiaoyao raised her hand to stop him.

“You’re too polite, Old Master Li. This matter started because of me, so of course, I will deal with the aftermath.”

After saying that, Qin Xiaoyao also stood up.

She strode out of the house and went to the courtyard.

When Old Master Li followed her out, he saw Qin Xiaoyao carrying one of the corpses and leaping up to the roof.

He was about to say something, but Qin Xiaoyao had already darted far away with the body.

Old Master Li was impressed when he saw that.

He was amazed at this woman’s unrivaled martial arts skills.

In just over an hour, Qin Xiaoyao had sent all the corpses in the Li family’s courtyard away.

The Li family heaved a sigh of relief when they saw this.

They didn’t care where Qin Xiaoyao had sent the bodies. As long as they weren’t in the Li family’s courtyard, the Li family wouldn’t be in so much danger.

As for what would happen after that, Madam Qin was right. The army of the Imperial Court was about to break through the town’s defenses.

Perhaps the Imperial Court’s army had already attacked before the mountain bandits discovered their corpses.

After getting rid of the bodies, Qin Xiaoyao asked the Li family to get some tools to clean up the courtyard and get rid of the bloodstains.

Only then did she stop.

After doing all that, the Li family was even more grateful to Qin Xiaoyao.

Although the entire family still looked at Qin Xiaoyao with some fear in their eyes, there was more respect and admiration.

Doctor Li’s youngest son, in particular, had been secretly sizing up Qin Xiaoyao from the side. He looked like he wanted to step forward to speak to her but didn’t dare to.

Qin Xiaoyao found it somewhat intriguing, but she pretended not to notice and continued with her own business.

After she was done, she went to check on little Chunhua before going back to her room to rest.

After a busy morning, she was actually a little tired.

In the afternoon, the Li family was a little nervous. They were worried that the mountain bandits would come again.

In the end, to everyone’s surprise, there were no new mountain bandits at the door.

No one seemed to have noticed the disappearance of the five mountain bandits.

It wasn’t until the sky turned dark that the Li family heaved a sigh of relief.

The first day passed uneventfully.

They could only hope that the Imperial Court’s army outside the town would attack the town tonight and wipe out all the mountain bandits in the town.

This way, they would no longer have to be afraid. Only then would Mountain Spring Town regain its peace.

With such thoughts in mind, the Li family went to bed early.

After Qin Xiaoyao checked on little Chunhua, she also went to bed fully dressed.

As she thought about the situation outside and worried about the things back home, she tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep for a long time.

In the end, it was around the latter half of the night before she fell asleep.

However, she was woken up by a nightmare.

In the nightmare, more than ten mountain bandits barged into the Song family’s residence, robbing everything they saw, and killing anyone they saw.

Her mother-in-law, little sister-in-law, little brother-in-law, and Xiaomei were all killed one after another.

In the end, even her husband was not spared.

The last scene in the nightmare showed Song Que calling out her name while looking outside.

Qin Xiaoyao’s heart ached terribly when she saw this. When she woke up in shock, her forehead was covered in sweat.

Her hands were clenched so tightly that her veins were bulging.

As she looked out of the window, Qin Xiaoyao realized that the sky was already starting to brighten.

Qin Xiaoyao didn’t continue to lie on the bed. She decided to get up.

Then, she packed up and waited for dawn.

Qin Xiaoyao went out the moment she heard some movement in the Li family’s courtyard.

After that, she went to check on little Chunhua.

After one night, little Chunhua’s high fever finally subsided.

In addition, Doctor Li’s eldest daughter-in-law helped to feed her milk earlier, so the child was sleeping soundly at the moment.

Qin Xiaoyao’s heart softened greatly when she saw the little baby’s cute sleeping face.

…..

Nonetheless, immediately after that, she picked up the child.

“I won’t be having breakfast. This child’s parents are still waiting at home. I’ll send the child back first,” Qin Xiaoyao said immediately.

The Li couple’s faces changed at once.

The Li family’s eldest daughter-in-law quickly tried to dissuade her.

“One night has already passed. There’s no need to rush now.

“Besides, the dew is even denser in the morning. If you take the child out, she may catch a cold again.”

The eldest son of the Li family nodded in agreement.

As long as they could extend the time longer, they would be more at ease with Madam Qin around.

Qin Xiaoyao furrowed her brows. She only paused for a moment before continuing.

“I’ll wrap the child up a little more securely. She’ll be fine.”

When she saw the couple was still trying to stop her, Qin Xiaoyao continued, “Don’t worry. The courtyard has already been cleaned up.

“Now, those mountain bandits are busy with their own affairs. They probably wouldn’t come to investigate.

“If they do come, you can just say that those people have taken your belongings and left your house. They won’t suspect you..”
