I don't want to be the favorite concubine of this palace anymore

An Tai saw that An Muxi finally showed some interest, so he picked it up.

"Xi'er, you know that although your father is a county magistrate, his salary is not high, barely enough to support the family, and your brother has already entered school.

Now that you are married, your conditions are much better than ours, can you help us out?"

Seeing that An Muxi was determined to break away from the An family, this person decided to exchange her life experience for some money.

An Muxi looked at these people with disdain, feeling sorry for her original self. What kind of people were they? In fact, she didn't really care about her own background.

Now that she is married and able to support herself, there is really no need to look for her biological parents. However, she feels that since she has taken over the original body's identity, she should do something for her.

So he said, "How about this, I'll give you another hundred taels, and you tell me my life story. From now on, we can just part ways and live in peace."

An Tai and Sun were obviously not satisfied with the number and wanted to bargain, but An Muxi interrupted them coldly.

"I am living a good life now. I don't really care what my real identity is. If you are still not satisfied, then take the 100 taels and leave."

An Tai's annual salary as a county magistrate was only about 100 taels. When he saw An Muxi's attitude, he knew that the other party would not give him more. He could only stop while he was ahead.

"Madam, go get the bag."

An Muxi told Qiuyue to get the remaining one hundred taels.

Sun brought the bag they brought with them, and Antai opened it and took out a small dress from it, which was probably for a girl around one year old.

An Tai was indeed a cunning old man, having thought of all kinds of situations in advance. This dress was what An Muxi wore when she was taken to the An family, and it has been kept ever since. An Tai was afraid that someone from the girl's family might come and testify.

An Muxi picked up the dress and looked at it carefully. Although many years had passed, she could still tell that the dress was made of very good brocade, with gold thread edging and embroidered flower patterns. It was obviously the kind of dress that children from wealthy families would wear.

No wonder An Tai has been preserved until now. But no one has come to him to ask for a child. He must be very disappointed, right?

An Tai said, "Back then, your mother picked you up in the county town of Zhou County, her mother's hometown. You were just over one year old at that time. We had never had any children before, so we treated you as our own daughter."

An Muxi rolled her eyes in her heart. An Tai's original wife was indeed good to her, but that was her own dowry, and had nothing to do with An Tai. He was quite good at flattering himself.

"So, do you know who my biological parents are?"

An Tai looked embarrassed: "In fact, we don't know your true identity, but we feel that you should be a lady from a wealthy family. You can keep this little skirt, maybe we can meet your family in the future. It can be used as evidence."

An Muxi was speechless. What was the point of her keeping this little skirt? After all this time, he still didn't know his identity. It was a big loss for her to give him an extra hundred taels for nothing.

At this time Qiu Shuang and Qiu Yue brought the silver notes over. An Muxi was too lazy to flatter them any longer, so she asked the maid to bring paper and pen, and directly wrote a letter to buy out the relationship by paying two hundred taels. From then on, she had nothing to do with An Tai's family anymore.

An Tai didn't expect An Muxi to be so straightforward, and he also knew that there was no more money to be made, so he signed directly.

Then the whole family was sent out of the palace by Nanny Zhao.

-

Yusup was extremely proud this time. He had achieved all the purposes of coming to Tiansheng Kingdom. He raised a thousand dan of grain and married Princess Wenhua, the most beloved of Emperor Tiansheng.

He also sent Princess Rena to the harem of Emperor Tiansheng. She would be a helper to him in the future.

On the way back, Yusup and Li Rui escorted Princess Wenhua on horseback. After two days of walking, they were almost at the border area.

Princess Wenhua had already accepted her fate. She didn't know how her mother was doing things in the palace. Didn't she agree to plot against Princess Wen'an and Yusup? How did she end up with Yusup inexplicably?

She and Concubine Li had both begged Emperor Tiansheng for mercy, but this time Emperor Tiansheng no longer cared about the father-daughter relationship and just let her fend for herself.

Wenhua felt like her tears were almost dried up, but it was of no use. She could only comfort herself that when she got there, she would at least be the principal wife of a prince and have a very high status.

However, Princess Wenhua was still very pretentious along the way. She complained that the food was not good, the weather was dry, the wind was too strong, and she found all kinds of trouble.

Li Rui ignored her completely, and Yusup sneered in his heart, thinking that once they arrived in Western Xinjiang, the world would be his, so it would be okay to let her stay for a few more days.

Yusup always felt that Li Rui was somewhat hostile towards him, but he couldn't figure out how he had offended King Rui.

In fact, he didn't know that his brother, who killed Anyang Hou, was Lu Qingxue's father and Li Rui's master. He was both a father and a teacher to Li Rui.

The further they went to the western border, the more desolate it became. When they were almost at a small town, a group of men in black suddenly rushed out from both sides. Yusup only brought a dozen people with him, and Li Rui brought twenty personal guards.

The other side has fifty or sixty people, and border bandits often rob passing caravans, so in this situation, you either pay money to save your life or fight to the death with the other side.

Yusup felt something was wrong and said to Li Rui in a deep voice: "Prince Rui, it seems that we have encountered robbers. I wonder if the prince has any way to deal with it?"

Li Rui said calmly: "Let's see what the other party wants first. If they just want to rob us of our money, it would be better to give them some silver so that there won't be any more trouble."

Yusup thought it made sense, and then he took the initiative to step forward and ask, "I wonder why you stopped us?"

The leader in black said, "We only want food, nothing else. Leave the food behind and we'll let you go."

Princess Wenhua then realized that the convoy had stopped. She was so scared that she huddled in the carriage after hearing that she had encountered robbers. She thought that it was true that poor mountains and bad waters produced unruly people.

When Yusup heard that the other party was robbing food, he immediately became alert. With a grim expression, he turned back and said to Li Rui: "Your Majesty, it seems that we have no choice but to take action."

If it were other things, it would be easy to deal with, but he absolutely could not send out the food, as it was related to whether countless people in Western Xinjiang could survive the winter with food.

When Princess Wenhua heard that Yusup was unwilling to give up this little food, she lifted the curtain and yelled at Yusup, "This food is not worth much, just give it to them. Do you want to fight them to the death?"

Yusup laughed out of anger. This woman was simply a stupid teammate. This group of people were obviously waiting for him here with a purpose. Maybe they had already received the news and were waiting here. If he wanted to protect the food, he would definitely have to fight hard.

Yusup and Li Rui both looked very serious. Li Rui said, "Don't worry, Chief Yu. We are still in Tiansheng. I will definitely help you. Just go ahead."

Yusup felt relieved, and then he rushed forward on horseback with his ten men. Li Rui winked at the guards behind him and followed.

The group of people soon started fighting.

After a while, someone threw a dozen smoke bombs, and then everyone lost their target and couldn't tell friend from foe. They had to stop fighting and wait for the smoke to dissipate for a long time.

"Chief, those ten carts of food are gone!"
