When they arrived at the dock, Zhu Yu couldn't wait to get off the carriage, but she still kept her composure and didn't run around. She just pulled Ai Yun and followed behind Prince Jing, looking around curiously.

The river surface was sparkling, the water was rippling, and ships loaded with cargo were coming and going, their sails fluttering in the breeze, making rustling sounds. On the dock, people of all kinds gathered together, some were busy carrying goods, some were standing on the shore waiting for the arrival of relatives and friends, and some vendors were selling all kinds of snacks and special products.

The air is filled with the fresh scent of the river and the aroma of various foods, making people salivate. The buildings at the dock are simple and elegant, with blue bricks and gray tiles and flying eaves, demonstrating the exquisite skills of ancient craftsmen.

In the distance, the mountains are rolling and shrouded in clouds and mist, forming a sharp contrast with the busy scene at the dock, as if they were two different worlds.

Prince Jing asked his servants to contact the boat, and at the request of Zhu Yu and Ai Yun, he took them to various small stalls. The things sold in the small stalls were all ordinary small items and snacks. A few stalls sold snacks made from things caught in the river. Zhu Yu and Ai Yun tried them out of curiosity. How should I put it? It was delicious, but lacked a bit of technological flavor, especially the deep-fried river shrimp. It would be better if it could be made into a pepper and salt flavor.

After inquiring, it was found that Prince Jing had a basket of fresh river shrimps still dripping with water in his hands.

The boat was fast, so the three did not dare to go too far and walked back. When they passed a group of people carrying large sacks, a thin and weak figure attracted the attention of the three.

The man looked young. Compared with the strong men around him, his face was thin, his skin was rough and dark due to wind erosion, and his eyes were deep-set, revealing a trace of fatigue and helplessness. He was wearing a ragged piece of clothing, the corners of which were lifted by the sea breeze, revealing his thin chest. His trouser legs were rolled up high, revealing his thin ankles. He was wearing a pair of worn cloth shoes, which made a dull sound when stepping on the hard dock. The sack on his shoulder seemed to be very heavy, almost the same size as his thin body, as if it was going to crush him. He staggered on the dock, and every step seemed extremely difficult. Even his back was bent into a painful arc, as if he was bearing a heavy burden.

Zhu Yu sighed in his heart: "Poor thing."

Then the system screamed frantically in her mind: "Host, please pay attention, host, please pay attention, this is the male protagonist in the original novel. According to the original plot, the female protagonist should have saved him here, and he fell in love with the female protagonist. If the original plot is followed, this is the future emperor, the mortal enemy of Prince Jing."

Zhu Yu: "Oh, check it out, do you have any ill intentions towards me?"

System: "Host, are you kidding me? You two don't even know each other, how could they possibly have any ill will towards you?"

Zhu Yu: "Oh, now I am the one who can help you."

Then Ai Yun and Prince Jing looked at Zhu Yu in a light blue dress and saw her running towards the man like a magpie. Ai Yun even wondered if Zhu Yu had found another kind of person.

Running to the original male protagonist, Zhu Yu took a breath and imitated Liu Yinyin's tone and said, "Excuse me, have you encountered any difficulties?"

The original male protagonist gritted his teeth and continued to carry the sack forward. He had no energy to pay attention to Zhu Yu who ran over, let alone what she said. Being ignored, Zhu Yu gritted his teeth and followed him again and asked, "My dear, I passed by here on business. I saw your situation and wanted to make a good relationship with you."

The original male protagonist continued to carry the sack with his head down and gritted his teeth.

Zhu Yu: ... I really can’t pretend to be a white lotus.

She stamped her feet, took out a silver ingot from her purse and stuffed it directly into the original male protagonist's belt: "Take it, I'm not a bad person, I just want to make a friend." Then she turned around and ran back to Prince Jing and Ai Yun.

Ai Yun asked her quietly with a puzzled look on her face: "What's going on? Is it???"

Zhu Yu shook his head: "No, let's talk about it when we get back."

Prince Jing looked at her shaking the pearl hairpin without caring about her image, and suddenly lost interest in the reason. He turned around and continued to walk back.

The original male protagonist who got the silver didn't react much, and continued to carry the sack with his head down. Some of the workers around him saw what happened and came over to ask, "Yu Wen, did that woman like you just now? I saw her put something in your waist pocket. Was it a love letter or silver?"

Yu Wen smiled shyly and didn't respond to him. The man felt embarrassed and just spat and walked away.

Yu Wen continued to lower his head and carry his sack. He didn't understand, what's the point of reincarnation for a person like him? In his previous life, he listened to slander, killed his nephew who was sincere to him, appointed relatives, and ended up with his body and head separated. It was all his own fault. Why should he do it now?

But it was the silver that the woman gave him here in his previous life that made him fall in love with her at first sight. The reason why he had been carrying sacks here for so many days was entirely to wait for that woman to come. Even after living for a lifetime, he still impulsively wanted to strangle her neck the moment she gave him the silver. In this way, Xian'er could secure his kingdom, and he could be considered to have atonement for his sins.

But today, there was another woman standing next to Xian'er and gave him silver. She forced it on him even though he didn't want it. Could it be that the woman who brought chaos to the world in this life has changed?

No, he wants to stay with Xian'er. He suddenly finds the meaning of living in this life. He wants to protect Xian'er and make sure Xian'er lives without worries during his lifetime.

He hurriedly threw down the sack and chased in the direction the three people had just left.

Zhu Yu: Thank you so much. Others all knew the original plot and took the initiative to win people's hearts, but I'm in a different situation. I spent money but you still think I'm a seductress.

When we returned to the carriage, we found that the boat had indeed been found.

The butler was arranging for the guards and servants to load the ship. When he saw the three men coming back, he hurried forward to explain the situation.

Zhu Yu was bored after listening to this. She was definitely not allowed to work, nor was she allowed to walk around, so she could only stand beside Prince Jing and continue to look around. As she was looking, she spotted Yu Wen running towards her. He was in a hurry, and the way he looked at her, Zhu Yu almost thought that this man was here to assassinate her. She subconsciously moved closer to Prince Jing and even tugged at his sleeve.

Sensing the movements of the people around him, Prince Jing stopped talking with the butler and looked at Zhu Yu.

Zhu Yu pointed in Yu Wen's direction with a serious expression and said, "I seem to be in trouble."

When Prince Jing looked over, Yu Wen had already retracted his gaze, leaving only anxiety and enthusiasm, which did not look fake. Zhu Yu even thought that it might have been his illusion.
