Traveling through ancient times to escape famine, the prince led me to rebel

Luo Xiaoran whispered to Uncle Xiang to find Aunt Ji and asked her to boil an egg for Uncle Xiang to roll over the bruises on his face.

"Don't let Chen'er and Sun Qingyuan come out."

"But, Miss, you are alone..."

"Anyway, I'll be fine."

After Uncle Xiang left, Luo Xiaoran turned her attention to the group of thugs in the yard.

"I don't understand what you are saying?" Luo Xiaoran said coldly.

The tall and thin thug sneered and stared at Luo Xiaoran with a vicious look:

“Don’t play dumb anymore, the Wang family’s boat servant told you everything!

It was you who dived into the lake and scuttled our master's boat that day!"

"I don't know when Wang Changbo's servant became so big-mouthed that he dared to make up stories!"

As soon as Sun Qingyuan learned from Uncle Xiang that someone was causing trouble, he hurried out.

Luo Xiaoran glanced at him and asked in a low voice: "Why did you run out? I can handle it by myself."

Sun Qingyuan glanced back: "I know you can fight, but I am a man, I can't hide behind a little lady like you in a critical moment!"

The tall and thin thug was very dissatisfied with the two people whispering in front of him:

"Since someone saw Luo Xiaoran coming out of the boat after changing her clothes, and her hair was still a little wet, then it must be you, Luo Xiaoran, who sank the boat!

Come with us! I believe that when the young master sees how beautiful you are, he may spare you."

The tall and thin man paused for a moment, and exchanged a look of mutual understanding with the thug behind him:

"Maybe, you can even become our master's twenty-seventh concubine!"

Luo Xiaoran blinked her eyes, as if she had thought of something, and then asked in a puzzled manner:

"I remember An Ruquan came to our Hexi Village a few days ago and said he wanted to marry a thirteenth concubine. How come he has already married the twenty-seventh one?"

Judging from the few times she had used on An Ruquan, he was probably unwilling or unable to do that kind of thing. How could he have so many concubines in just a few days!

The tall and thin man's lewd and ferocious expression froze for a few seconds before he came back to his senses:

"Our young master is willing, what's it to you? I'm going to take you away now!"

After saying this, he was about to come up with a group of people behind him, looking very aggressive.

Sun Qingyuan stood in front of Luo Xiaoran, even though his hands behind his back were shaking.

As a weak scholar, he should rarely encounter such things.

Luo Xiaoran's lips curled up slightly, she appreciated the kindness.

But the person behind this incident is probably not An Ruquan, but that person.

In the end, she still has to face that person by herself.

Luo Xiaoran muttered to Sun Qingyuan, "My skills are much better than you know. At worst, I can escape and you and I can go to King Yan to complain.

There are so many thugs in my house now, including Chen'er, you, Uncle Xiang's family, and Kong Qing will be here later. We are all ordinary people who are powerless. If we are affected, the consequences will be unpredictable.

Besides, if a fight breaks out here and the furniture I customized with great difficulty is smashed, I will be very angry.

The best way is for me to go with them and sort things out outside, which will be good for everyone.”

Sun Qingyuan didn't quite believe what Luo Xiaoran said, but he couldn't think of anything to refute.

After much deliberation, he finally gave way.

Luo Xiaoran was taken away.

His hands were tied tightly in front of him with ropes, his eyes were covered with black silk, and he was put into a carriage.

The carriage was moving very fast. Based on the direction she sensed, Luo Xiaoran knew that they were heading towards Yizhou.

This further confirmed my guess.

Not long after, the carriage turned from the not-so-flat official road to the relatively flat bluestone road and entered the city.

Luo Xiaoran seldom comes to Yizhou, so she is not familiar with the city roads.

Finally, the carriage slowly stopped and Luo Xiaoran was taken down.

Someone held the rope in her hand and led her forward, and then Luo Xiaoran heard the door open.

A calm middle-aged woman's voice sounded: "Miss, I will bathe and change your clothes for you first, and then I will take you to see Master An."

Luo Xiaoran's heart tightened, but of course it was not because she was nervous about meeting An Ruquan.

She was nervous about being stripped naked, which was too embarrassing.

However, in order to verify the final guess, Luo Xiaoran did not show any clues on her face and obediently allowed the other party to strip her clothes off.

She originally thought that the bath he gave her would be like the scrubbing in the big bathhouses in Northeast China, but she didn't expect that the other party's technique was extremely sophisticated and the force was very gentle.

Before Luo Xiaoran could recover, she had already been washed, dressed, and had her hair done up.

After her hair was done, the black silk on Luo Xiaoran's face was taken off, and she could see clearly who had just given her a bath.

She was a woman in her early thirties, with single eyelids and a serious demeanor.

The reason she took off the black silk from Luo Xiaoran's eyes was that she wanted to put makeup on Luo Xiaoran.

Lead powder for facial application, black powder for eyebrow drawing, rouge for decoration, lip balm for embellishment... it's dazzling, there is everything.

Luo Xiaoran still obediently let her do what she wanted and let her apply these ancient cosmetics on her face.

"All right."

After a long time, Luo Xiaoran, who was already dozing off, was finally woken up.

Looking in the mirror, what comes into view is the image of a standard ancient lady.

The hairdo is complicated, but fortunately the makeup on the face is not too scary.

"What's your name?"

"Your servant Han Shuang."

"What's next?"

"Miss, please wait a moment. The young master will be here soon."

After saying this, Han Shuang bowed and left the room.

Luo Xiaoran keenly felt that she had omitted a word - "An".

Before taking a bath, Han Shuang said "Master An", but just now she said "Master".

That's a huge difference.

Not long after, there was a knock on the door.

Luo Xiaoran lazily responded: "The door is not locked!"

"Squeak-"

The door was slowly opened, and a figure appeared behind the screen in front of the door.

He stood there quietly, without saying anything.

Luo Xiaoran also sat on the stool and didn't say a word.

The two of them just wasted time like this.

"You knew from the beginning that the person who brought you here was not An Ruquan's subordinate?"

The person behind the screen couldn't help but speak first.

"I do not know."

"..."

Zhu Jingxing, who was outside the screen, walked in anyway. When he looked up, he saw Luo Xiaoran, who was wearing neat makeup, and was stunned.

"This is Shu'er's favorite makeup, hairstyle, and clothes. If you put them on, you will look exactly like Shu'er."

Luo Xiaoran’s eyes froze, “Exactly the same as Shu’er”, does she finally believe that she is not Zhu Jingshu?

"I passed the imperial examination at the age of thirteen, and won the third place in the imperial examination at the age of sixteen. Until today, my career has been smooth, but many people have forgotten that my parents were just an ordinary farming couple.

Our Zhu family gradually established itself after I passed the imperial examination at the age of thirteen.

At that time, Shu'er was only five years old. Although the family had money, her mother's health had begun to decline, so I bought Han Shuang from the dental shop to take care of Shu'er.

From the time when Shu'er was five years old to now when she is fourteen, Han Shuang and Shu'er have been almost inseparable for these nine years.

And she just told me her answer.

She said, you are not Shu'er."
