Through the troubled times and famine, I just want to farm peacefully

The secret guards suddenly burst into laughter, all with expressions that showed they were enjoying a good show.

This reminded Yu Xunmei of the remaining memories of that day. Her nails from gripping the reins were deeply embedded in her palms, but she felt no pain at all. Her vicious eyes swept over everyone on the city wall.

She raised her whip and pointed it at Lin Yinan, "Okay! You vicious woman, just wait for me, I'll make you kneel down and beg me!"

The guards beside him also shouted, "How dare you! Do you know that this is the eldest daughter of the Yu family in Nanzhou Prefecture? How can you allow the insignificant people like you to insult her?"

Another one even stepped forward and banged on the tightly closed city gate, making it bang loudly.

Lin Yinan didn’t care about the Yu family or the Gou family at all.

"Since they are determined to die, let's grant their wish."

A murderous intent flashed in Yunye's eyes. He stretched out his hand and waved. Immediately, a secret guard next to him stood on the city wall and pointed arrows at them.

When the people working in the fields heard the noise, they came over with hoes and shovels and surrounded Yu Xunmei and others.

The guards quickly protected her in the middle, "What do you want to do?"

Yu Xunmei glanced at the people around her with a sinister look in her eyes, "Let's go!"

She whipped the whip and the horse was frightened. It neighed and raised its two front hooves high. The horse ran forward madly like a headless fly.

People did not dare to stop them and made way for them to avoid hurting innocent people.

Yun Ye looked at Yu Xunmei riding away on her horse and said in a deep voice, "I'm afraid this person won't let it go."

"It's okay, just wait for her to come over." Lin Yinan retracted his gaze, then looked towards the direction of Xihe County and said, "I wonder if Yun Mo and the others will have a smooth trip."

"Don't worry, sister-in-law, Yun Mo can handle it." Yun Ye comforted.

"I hope so."

Lin Yinan and Qianxia went down the city wall and returned to the county government office.

Lin Chunni and the others had already peeled some of the fruits and squeezed out the juice. Lin Yinan added the appropriate amount of sugar and fermented wine according to the proportions.

Smelling the strong fruity aroma, Yun Ying swallowed her saliva greedily, "Third sister-in-law, when can I drink it?"

"I'm afraid you won't be able to drink it when you get married." Putting aside Yu Xunmei's matter, Lin Yinan joked.

It was getting dark, with only a glimmer of sunset remaining slanting across the sky.

Yu Xunmei and others could not make it to the next place to stay and had to sleep in the wilderness.

The guards were busy setting up tents and boiling water.

Yu Xunmei sat on a rock, watching the setting sun and chewing some dry food, thinking about how to ask her father for help when she returned. She wanted to trample all those who had humiliated her in Longtan under her feet.

"Miss, drink some water. It has been cooled down for you."

A guard handed a jar of warm water to Yu Xunmei attentively with a flattering smile on his face.

Yu Xunmei took the can, raised his head and drank it all, then threw the empty can back to the guard.

"Miss, if you need anything else, just let me know."

The guard tried his best to please her, and his eyes glanced at Yu Xunmei restlessly.

Yu Xunmei glanced at him and said, "Get lost. Don't you know what you are like? How dare you hang around in front of me?"

After saying that, he turned his head away, not even bothering to glance at the guard.

The guard left in disappointment. He was a son of the Yu family. His mother was a minor steward in the inner courtyard. She knew everything about Yu Xunmei. He tried to please her just to become her lover.

The head of the guards pulled him aside and warned him, "The master has instructed that the young lady must not make any mistakes during this trip. You'd better stick to your duties."

The group hurried and finally arrived at Yongqing City.

The leader of the guards originally planned to stay in Yongqing City and rest for three days, but when they arrived in Yongqing City they were dumbfounded.

In Yongqing City, a large number of refugees gathered inside and outside the city, making all the streets crowded.

"Miss, what should we do? We can't get into this city for the time being?" The leader of the guards who came back from the investigation bowed and reported to Yu Xunmei.

"Since we can't get in, then we won't." She turned her horse's head and said impatiently, "Let's go to Shigong City instead."

After saying this, Yu Xunmei took the lead and rode his horse a long way away.

"Follow me! Let's go to Shigong City." The leader of the guards quickly jumped on his horse and chased after him.

If the leader paid attention, he would find that although there were many refugees inside and outside Yongqing City, they followed the team out in an orderly manner.

They followed the Chen family's advice and headed for their final resettlement location - Longtan County.

Yu Xunmei and others traveled all night and arrived at Shigong City early the next morning.

Before entering the city, she dismounted and shook her legs which were numb from sitting.

"Look at you, young lady. You look so dusty. Where are you going?"

A clear and melodious voice sounded behind Yu Xunmei, stirring her eardrums.

Yu Xunmei turned around slowly and saw a tall, handsome man with an angular face like a sculpture, slightly upturned peach blossom eyes, and a smile on his lips. He stood behind her in a relaxed and elegant manner, looking at her curiously, and his every move revealed the nobility of a noble family.

Suddenly, there seemed to be ripples in her chest, gently beating against her heart.

Yu Xunmei, who had seen countless men, knew that although this man was not as good as Yun Er, he was not far behind.

As her mind raced, she lowered her eyes slightly, pretending to be shy.

The head of the guard stepped forward and bowed to the man, "We are the Yu family of Nanzhou Prefecture, and this is the eldest daughter of the Yu family."

The man came back to his senses, and with joy in his heart, he quickly bowed and said, "So you are the eldest daughter of the Yu family. Excuse me, I am Ye Shang from the Ye family in Shigong City. May I ask where you are from and where you are going?"

"Mr. Ye is very polite. He came out for fun when he had nothing to do at home. He has walked a bit far and plans to rest in Shigong City for two days before returning home." Yu Xunmei said, looking at Ye Shang back and forth without leaving any trace.

Ye Shang said, "It is fate that I meet you, young lady. Today I will do my best to be your host. I know where the best inn in the city is. Young lady, please follow me."

As he said this, bring it in front. The leader of the guards wanted to refuse, but was stopped by Yu Xunmei's vicious eyes.

Yu Xunmei would not refuse such a handsome man who was offered to her.

Several people mounted their horses and, led by Ye Shang, came to the largest inn in Shigong City.

After washing up, Yu Xunmei changed into gorgeous clothes, dressed up and went out with Ye Shang. She ordered the guards to stay in the inn to rest and did not take any of them with her.

Seeing that she dared to go out with a strange man without guards, a dark light flashed in Ye Shang's bright eyes.

The result is predictable. Yu Xunmei and Ye Shang started hanging out together as soon as they met.

Two days later, she left Shigong City with her guards.

Although she was reluctant, she had to go back. Yun Er had become the white moonlight that she could never forget and the cinnabar mole in her heart.

She must get it!

"You know what to say and what not to say when you go back, right?" Yu Xunmei warned the guards when they were about to reach Nanzhou Prefecture.

The leader said, "I understand!"

Longtan County Government Office.

"Third sister-in-law, third sister-in-law, my third brother is back!" Yunying ran in from the yard excitedly.

Yunmu glanced at her in reproach, "You are about to get married, but you are not steady at all."

Lin Yinan asked while feeding the child, "Is everyone back?"
