Chapter 142 Big Changes

Although she had already entered the territory of Luzhou, Lü Xinyan still did not let her guard down.

Although the Yuan family cannot extend their influence to Luzhou, there are still some people taking advantage of the current famine in Pengzhou to make a living.

In Luzhou, it's difficult to verify the authenticity of each case, as disaster relief and rescue are the most important tasks, which gives these people an opportunity to take advantage of the situation.

As Lü Xinyan continued on her journey, she spotted several informants from the Yuan family, as well as informants from other family factions, mingling among the disaster victims.

The people sent by these family forces clearly had missions to carry out. Lü Xinyan couldn't help but think of the series of plans the Yuan family had made. She guessed that the Yuan family was also planning to do something underhanded and carry out some kind of plan in Luzhou.

Noticing this, Lü Xinyan became even more cautious. While arranging for people to keep an eye on these individuals, she also disguised herself and her group to avoid being recognized and causing any unnecessary danger or trouble.

Moreover, they are now traveling by horse-drawn carriage, a stark contrast to their initial situation. Furthermore, the presence of Peng Yucheng's family has only added to their deceptive effect.

Of course, Lü Xinyan would also search for such informants along the way, especially those from the Yuan family. She would keep an eye on them, continue to observe their intentions, and make sure her group avoided them as much as possible to reduce the possibility of directly encountering these informants and exposing their identities.

If it really comes to that, Lü Xinyan won't let those informants spread the news.

Fortunately, thanks to Lü Xinyan's handling and precautions, their journey has been relatively peaceful and smooth, without encountering any trouble or danger.

Peng Yucheng, who was leading the way on horseback, had also made full disguises, making him look very different from his original image.

Even Cao Cuizhen and Peng Yiyun would sometimes be stunned when they looked at Peng Yucheng.

Fortunately, over time they all got used to their current disguise, so there were no oversights.

Because of these disguises, they encountered many enemies on their journey, but none of them recognized them. Even when they stared at each other directly, they were not recognized, as their appearance had completely changed.

Having personally experienced such a situation and witnessed the effectiveness of these disguises, Peng Yucheng admired Lü Xinyan even more.

To be able to carry out such a disguise so well, Lü Xinyan's ability is truly remarkable and quite unexpected.

Having done all this disguise, they were able to continue their journey unscathed, ignoring the informants and enemies they encountered along the way.

This situation surprised Peng Yucheng, and made him even more relaxed.

By using disguise, he was able to achieve such a good effect, which reassured Peng Yucheng, allowing him to continue to do his job as a guide and bodyguard conscientiously, deterring any ill-intentioned refugees and bandits along the way.

Having survived this ordeal and avoided so many dangers, Peng Yucheng was extremely grateful to Lü Xinyan and the others. He completely accepted his current status as a servant and would not do anything to harm Lü Xinyan and the others. He would serve Lü Xinyan well.

Furthermore, he still needs the pills given to him by Lü Xinyan to regulate his body, eliminate residual toxins, repair hidden injuries and chronic illnesses, and restore his martial arts skills and strength. Peng Yucheng knows very well that Lü Xinyan has helped his family far too much, and he will repay Lü Xinyan with his actions and will never forget Lü Xinyan's kindness.

Even though he had become a servant of the Lü family, the change in his status did not make Peng Yucheng resentful.

As for Cao Cuizhen, she continued to take the pills given to her by Lü Xinyan to regulate her body, and her physical condition was gradually recovering, with her condition improving day by day.

The Peng family was even more amazed by the miraculous healing and recovery, and they were even more grateful to Lü Xinyan, realizing the magnitude of her kindness.

Now, Cao Cuizhen has recovered a lot. She can walk and work without any problems, and her strength is gradually returning. She has also taken on a lot of work along the way. She helps Xie Shulan prepare food for everyone and handles other sewing, mending, washing and cleaning tasks, which has relieved Xie Shulan of a lot of burden and allowed Lü Daquan and Peng Yucheng to have no worries.

Cao Cuizhen still vividly remembers that near-death experience of physical decline, loss of strength, and agonizing torment.

She thought she was doomed and would die on the road, with no chance of survival. However, they were fortunate enough to meet Lü Xinyan and receive her treatment, which gave her a chance to live. Moreover, her physical condition continued to recover, becoming much better than before. She felt that her strength and vitality were even better than when she was young.

Her chronic weakness was gradually improving as Lü Xinyan treated and regulated her with the pills she received.

Many traditional Chinese medicine practitioners believed that congenital diseases were incurable and could not prolong life, but Lü Xinyan had found hope of curing them and was continuing to recover, with her body becoming healthier and stronger.

Such changes were very obvious, and Cao Cuizhen could clearly feel them. She felt her own vitality recovering and becoming more and more vigorous, giving her the confidence to continue living for several more decades.

The fact that she was cured and recovered from a life-threatening situation greatly shocked Cao Cuizhen, making her even more grateful.

Knowing that it was all thanks to Lü Xinyan's intervention that she had the chance to continue living, Cao Cuizhen willingly accepted her current status as a servant of the Lü family. She worked with extra care and effort, trying her best to share the workload with Xie Shulan.

The Lu family treated them exceptionally well, but that was not a reason for them to slack off; rather, it was a motivation for them to repay their kindness even more.

Especially seeing how much her husband and children had improved, and seeing that they were no longer discovered by their enemies on their way to Dongwei County, and no longer had to experience the danger and pain of life-and-death battles, Cao Cuizhen knew that this was all thanks to Lü Xinyan's help, and she was even more grateful to Lü Xinyan.

The kindness they owed to Lü Xinyan was immense; even if they were to repay her as servants for a lifetime, they might not be able to do so.

But no matter what, since they have received such a great favor, they should naturally repay it and serve the Lü family well.
