After Gu Xijing's wound was treated, Wen Ran and Shen Wu did not rest further but continued their journey with Gu Xijing and Chun Niang.
Gu Xijing and Shen Wu stayed outside the carriage, while Wen Ran and Chun Niang stayed inside.
Through conversation, Wen Ran managed to figure out the identity of this couple. They came from Jiangnan, with Gu Xijing coming from a wealthy family. He was a young master, and he and Chun Niang were childhood friends who had mutual feelings, thus they became husband and wife.
However, shortly after they became a couple, Chun Niang suddenly fell ill. Despite Gu Xijing consulting famous doctors and even seeking help from the Imperial Physician, all of them said that Chun Niang's symptoms were strange. In other words, they couldn't diagnose the cause.
