Just as Wei Yilin was digesting all of this, Wei Ruo poured the drug from the bottle onto a handkerchief, quickly stepped forward, and covered Wei Yilin's mouth and nose with the handkerchief.
Wei Yilin's hands and feet were still tied right now, so he couldn't resist.
He looked at Wei Ruo with wide eyes, and lost his consciousness in disbelief.
After he passed out, Wei Ruo untied the rope to prevent him from being tied up for too long and caused damage to his limbs due to prolonged poor blood circulation.
Wei Ruo then went back and very cautiously checked the pulse of the two Japanese pirates to make sure they were dead, then cleaned up the scene and took away the remaining dried sweet potatoes and bags on the ground.
Finally, she staggered away from the scene.
She avoided the crowd that were searching for Wei Yilin, because she couldn't let anyone see her in such a disheveled state.
“Miss! Miss!”
Upon hearing Xiumei calling out to her voice, Wei Ruo was overjoyed. Seeing that there was no one else around Xiumei, Wei Ruo quickly ran towards her.
"Meimei, I'm here!"
"Miss!"
Seeing Wei Ruo's wretched appearance, Xiumei was in a panic, "Miss, what happened to you?"
"I'm fine. Take me back to the horse carriage, I must clean myself immediately. Then I'll tell you where Wei Yilin is, and ask someone to find him."
Xiumei didn't know why Wei Ruo was doing this, but her years of knowing Wei Ruo let Xiumei know that the situation was urgent and she must immediately follow Wei Ruo's instructions.
With Xiumei's help, Wei Ruo successfully avoided the others and returned to the carriage.
While Wei Ruo was tidying herself, Xiumei went to find Wei Yilin at the address provided by Wei Ruo. On the way, she met Mo mo Zhang and Xiumei specifically called her up.
Mo mo Zhang looked worried and said, "If something happens to the little young master, what should we do?"
"It's alright Mo mo, let's keep looking, we'll find him." Xiumei comforted while following the direction Wei Ruo gave.
"Mo mo, look over there, doesn't it seem like someone has fallen to the ground?" Xiumei asked, pointing to a spot halfway up the mountain.
“Wait a minute, my eyes are not very good and I can’t see clearly.”
"Don't just gaze from here, just go there and take a closer look!" Without saying a word, Xiumei pulled Mo mo Zhang up the mountain.
When she got closer, Mo mo Zhang was frightened.
“Dead person, it’s a dead person!” Mo mo Zhang was usually in the deep courtyard of the house. She rarely saw this kind of scene, so her face turned pale with fright.
"Mo mo, that's the little young master!" Xiumei pointed to Wei Yilin next to the body.
"Ah? Little young master? Is the young master okay?" Mo mo Zhang felt a bit timid as she walked closer.
Xiumei went forward and picked Wei Yilin up, "Little young master is fine, he just fainted."
Then she notified Mo mo Zhang to notify the others, "Mo mo, hurry up and inform the others to come over! I'll be waiting here!"
Mo mo Zhang froze for a moment before responding, "Alright, I'll go now."
Mo mo Zhang staggered down the mountain, shouting at the top of her lungs as she walked.
During the time Mo mo Zhang went to call for the others, Xiumei, out of caution, checked around again to ensure that there were no traces of her young lady.

"Yilin! Yilin!"
Wei Yilin was awakened by a commotion, opened his eyes, and saw Yun Shi.
Wei Yilin was being held by Yun Shi, and in front of him was Wei Qingwan, whose eyes were red from crying, and Wei Yichen, who had a worried look on his face.

I'm confused at why she did that as there is still witness Yilin. I wonder how she plans to handle this and what he says. Is she just going to deny and say there's no evidence? But that would still leave lots of suspicion. So... what's the plan?
