After her luck was taken away, she fell in love with the woman who traveled through time.

Liang Tan raised her eyebrows and walked towards him slowly. The driver shrank his neck subconsciously, then mustered up the courage to look her in the eye, trying his best to act confident.

Liang Tan leaned forward and looked into his eyes expressionlessly: "Have you forgotten that I am your master, and you did what I said you did. I don't need any evidence, and I don't need you to refute anything."

The driver was stunned for a moment, and a trace of fear suddenly flashed across his face.

Liang Tan stood up and looked at him with disgust: "Someone, drag him away."

"Yes."

Immediately, several servants came forward and pulled away the people who were crying and shouting.

The front of the main courtyard gradually returned to silence. Liang Tan glanced at the people around him and said coldly, "Everyone in my house has signed a contract to sell themselves. If you want to do stupid things like selling out your master for fame in the future, you should consider whether you have the ability to do it. If I find someone who dares to do so again, the end will be the same as those three people. Do you understand clearly?"

"Yes, young master." Everyone in the mansion bowed respectfully immediately.

Liang Tan turned around and went back to the house, then he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Young Master is truly impressive." Chanjuan praised immediately.

Liang Tan raised his eyebrows: "Of course, but you still need to worry more about the mansion and shave off all the eyeliner."

"Don't worry, young master. I will do my best." Chanjuan said, looking outside from time to time.

Liang Tan glanced at her and asked, "What are you looking at?"

"I am waiting for General Cui," Chanjuan answered calmly, "An hour ago, someone came to report that he went to the prefectural government office. He should have come by now, but why is there no movement until now?"

"Maybe something delayed him. Just wait." Liang Tan didn't care too much.

Chan Juan frowned: "How can that be possible? Since the young master has already made preparations, why not go directly to the prefectural government office? It will also show that we value General Cui."

Liang Tan had just slept with someone, and as a thief he must feel guilty, he didn't want to see him at the moment, so he pretended not to hear what he said.

Chan Juan was helpless: "Master, although General Cui took his mother's surname, he is still a member of the Liang family. As the head of the Liang family, you should be more enthusiastic."

"...We are five generations apart, so we are not our family. We are just a small family that wants to rely on him. He has a broken leg now and is in a very difficult time. If you are too enthusiastic, he might think you are being weird." Liang Tan retorted.

Chan Juan was not fooled by her: "It is precisely because we are frustrated that we should treat him warmly. Otherwise, he will think that we look down on him, and won't we become enemies?"

Liang Tan was stunned: "I haven't thought about this..."

The male protagonist is now at the lowest point in his life and is the most cautious. What if he misunderstands her and retaliates against her in the future? She appears as the male protagonist's helper, so she must have a good relationship with him and cannot be easily disliked.

Seeing her hesitation, Chanjuan immediately made a decision for her: "Then let's do this. You go to the prefectural government office to welcome him, and I will stay at home to clean up the house."

After saying that, he pushed Liang Tan out the door without giving her any room to refuse.

Liang Tan looked up at the sky helplessly, feeling that the weather in books was so dramatic. It was pouring rain yesterday, but it was sunny today.

Prefect's Yamen.

Cui Ling sat in a wheelchair expressionlessly, with his eyes downcast and not saying a word. Below were more than 30 detectives, each with a pile of old household registration files in front of them, quickly searching through them, writing down names as they searched, and each person already had a piece of paper written in front of them.

Fine dust floated in the hall. The prefect couldn't help but sneeze and broke out in a cold sweat. Seeing that Cui Ling ignored him, he shouted at everyone to hurry up.

"Hurry up and find it as soon as possible!" The prefect said, and then stepped forward attentively, "General, you are tired from the journey, why don't you go back and rest first, and then I will come to report the result to you when I find it?"

Cui Ling's eyes were gloomy and he said nothing.

The prefect looked embarrassed and cursed Cui Ling in his heart for putting on airs in front of him when the situation was clearly hopeless.

Cui Ling looked over with sharp eyes, as if he had guessed what he was thinking. The prefect shuddered, lowered his head quickly and dared not say anything more.

The detectives were still quickly looking through the household registration files; the only sound in the lobby was the turning of pages.

After a long while, the doorman hurriedly came to report: "General, prefect, Liang Chao, the eldest son of the Liang family, wants to see you."

The prefect's eyes lit up: "Liang Dalang must have known that the general was coming, so he came to greet him. General, look..."

Cui Ling lowered his eyes and did not even lift his eyelids.

The prefect laughed dryly and introduced: "This Liang family elder brother is the current leader of the Liang family. He knows everything about the affairs of Kuangzhou City. Why not invite him in and ask him? Maybe he can find the person the general is looking for?"

Cui Ling finally responded: "Ask him in."

"Yes, yes, yes." The prefect gave the doorman a look and the doorman hurried to invite him.

Liang Tan waited for a while at the gate of the yamen. When he saw the doorman coming in hurriedly, he understood and followed him in.

"The general has been in the yamen for more than an hour. Why hasn't he gone back to rest yet? Could it be that he was having such a good chat with the adults that he forgot the time?" Liang Tan probed.

The doorman sighed, "How can it be so good? This general is also very strange. As soon as he arrived at our government office, he asked people to move out all the old household registration files and write down the names of all unmarried women between thirteen and twenty, saying that he was looking for someone."

The concierge was familiar with her, so he was less cautious when speaking. After looking around to make sure no one was around, he lowered his voice and said, "No matter how I look at it, I feel he has bad intentions."

Liang Tan blinked and thought to himself, you are absolutely right.

As the two were talking, they unknowingly arrived at the lobby. Liang Tan walked straight in and greeted the two people in the hall one by one.

"Liang Dalang, I haven't seen you for a long time. You have become more handsome than ever." The prefect laughed.

Cui Ling ignored him and said, "Find me someone."

Liang Tan swallowed his saliva and smiled awkwardly: "General, please go ahead."

"Female, unmarried, aged 13 to 20, used the nickname Wang Erhua before, but it doesn't matter if she didn't use it before, thin, over six feet tall..."

Every time Cui Ling said something, Liang Tan's heart sank. He thought, didn't she blindfold him at that time? How could he still know so much information? !

Liang Tan waited for Cui Ling to finish speaking, and couldn't help but laugh dryly: "General, Kuangzhou City is not big, but it is not small either. There are at least several thousand women of marriageable age. I'm afraid it will take some time to screen them one by one."

After that, as if to verify her words, the constable in charge of checking the household registration records spoke up: "General, we have finished the check. There are 3,581 women of the appropriate age in the city."

Cui Ling then looked at Liang Tan for another second. Liang Tan curled the corners of his lips and tried to appear calm: "I dare to ask the general why you are only looking for unmarried girls." She tried to muddy the waters and expand the scope of his search.

"Because that person can only be an unmarried woman." Cui Ling replied coldly.

Liang Tan was stunned, and then he remembered that he was too anxious at the time and was not prepared, so he hurt his body when he sat down, leaving a little blood stain... Well, a married woman would probably not have that kind of thing.

Liang Tan's cheeks flushed. After "taking off the chest wrap because of chest tightness", he regretted one more thing -

You should wipe it clean before you leave.

"Just over 3,000 people, easy to check." Cui Ling said slowly.

Liang Tan felt bitter when he heard this, but he didn't dare to show it on his face: "I haven't asked the general yet, why are you looking for this person?"

"Of course I have a score to settle with her." Cui Ling thought of what happened yesterday, and his eyes gradually became sinister.

Liang Tan swallowed his saliva and rationally did not ask any more questions.

Seeing this, the prefect beside him hurriedly said, "Since most of the people have been screened, it is only a matter of time to investigate them one by one. Why don't you go back and rest first, General?"

"Yes, General, you are tired from the journey, you should go back to your house and rest for a while," Liang Tan said with a generous smile, "I have already packed up your house, but I haven't arranged for the servants yet. If you need anything, just ask someone to come to my house to get it."

In order to avoid upsetting Cui Ling, she did not arrange anyone directly.

Sure enough, Cui Ling did not show any displeasure when she heard this, but instead looked at her more.

The Cui family guards next to them came forward and pushed Cui Ling out. Liang Tan quickly moved aside to make way for them. The guards pushed Cui Ling past her. Just as she was about to breathe a sigh of relief, Cui Ling suddenly grabbed the wheel of the wheelchair. The guards could no longer push it and quickly stopped.

Liang Tan looked at Cui Ling beside him, confused for a moment: "General?"

"Scent of sandalwood," Cui Ling looked up at her, his eyes as cold as a knife.

Liang Tan: “…”

Although Liang Tan didn't understand why Cui Ling would comment on her scent, she was still subconsciously surprised when she heard it. She was about to say something when Cui Ling said indifferently, "The person I'm looking for has the same scent as you."

"...Mining City is rich in sandalwood spices. These are sold all over the streets. It's no surprise that they taste the same." Liang Tan laughed awkwardly.

The prefect nodded in agreement: "Indeed, I used some spices to fumigate my clothes today. Liang Dalang's Sandalwood is really the best spice shop in Kuangzhou City. My wife likes it very much."

Liang Tan heard it several times, but still couldn't get used to the name Da Lang. Every time he heard someone call him that, he felt like he was going to sell pancakes on the street. But this was not the time to worry about it. He immediately responded after hearing what the prefect said, "Your Excellency is too kind. I am also lucky to have a few incense-making masters to help me. Since Madam likes it, I will send some more in a few days."

"How can I feel so embarrassed?" The prefect laughed.

The two of them were talking hypocritically back and forth, and Cui Ling on the side suddenly asked: "How much is the Tan Xiang Ji's spices worth?"

"Ten silver and one tael." Liang Tan answered cautiously.

"Ten silver coins and one tael." Cui Ling repeated, his eyes becoming increasingly gloomy.

Spices are not cheap. The prefect was afraid that Cui Ling would think too much, so he quickly explained for himself: "It is indeed a bit expensive. Ordinary people can't afford it. If I hadn't had a close personal relationship with Liang Dalang, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to use such good spices... If the general likes it, I will send someone to send it to the general's mansion. Although I am poor, I still have some dowry from my wife at home, so I can still buy some spices."

"How can I let the prefect spend money? It's only right for me to show my filial piety." Liang Tan echoed with two sentences. After receiving the prefect's praise and tactful look, he turned his head to look at Cui Ling, but met his indifferent eyes directly.

Liang Tan's heart skipped a beat, and she suddenly had a bad feeling. Unfortunately, before she could ask any more questions, Cui Ling had already left.

After watching his back disappear, Liang Tan sighed and turned to look at the prefect: "Sir, I feel that this great general is not easy to deal with."

"He is not only difficult to deal with, but also outrageous!" The prefect sneered, "If I were not worried about his revenge after regaining the emperor's favor, I would have stopped serving him long ago!"

Liang Tan curled the corner of his lips, said a few words of comfort, and then left.

It took her less than an hour to get home from leaving. Chanjuan had just finished teaching the servants a lesson and was surprised to see her coming back: "Master, why did you come back alone?"

"What else?" Liang Tan looked confused.

Chan Juan had a headache: "Didn't you invite General Cui to come to your house and have a seat?"

... I can't even hide from him, so how can I invite him over? Of course, I dare not say such words, otherwise she will nag me for several days. Liang Tan cleared his throat and made an excuse: "General Cui is disabled, and he has been traveling for several days. He is already exhausted, so he went back to rest early."

"That's right, let him rest. After all, our two houses are only separated by a wall, and we can visit each other at any time," Chanjuan sighed, "Wait until he has rested enough, then invite him to be our guest. After all, you are his elder, and I believe that no matter how arrogant he is, he will not lose face with you."

Liang Tan pulled the corner of her lips, thinking that she shouldn't be too optimistic. However, she had no interest in inviting Cui Ling to be her guest. She just smiled and said a few perfunctory words, then went back to her room.

The bra was so tight that she could hardly breathe, so she had to free herself.

After meeting Cui Ling once in the government office, Liang Tan decided not to provoke him for the time being. He would wait until he had almost forgotten about being slept with before trying to get in touch with him.

Liang Tan made up her mind and stayed in the house all day, never going out unless necessary. It wasn't that she became a homebody after coming to this world, it was really... every time she went out, she had to wrap her chest, which was really tight and suffocating.

She was not idle during the few days she was resting at home. Although she said that she wanted to keep things quiet, she secretly put a lot of obstacles in the way of the father and daughter who had framed her. The father and daughter, who had been as steady as a rock, soon could not sit still and came to beg for mercy.

When Liang Tan heard that they were coming, he rested for a while before calling Chanjuan to help him wash and change his clothes. He left them alone for an hour before showing up.

As soon as she entered the hall, she looked at the table first. Seeing that there was no tea, she sighed and said, "The servants in my mansion are really becoming more and more ignorant. They don't even know how to serve a cup of hot tea to uncle."

Liang Qingfeng's face almost turned green from waiting. He didn't dare to refute her when she said something sarcastic. He just forced a smile and said, "Da Lang, are you busy today? Why did you come out only now?"

"Hello, young master." Liang You bowed awkwardly.

Liang Tan glanced at the two of them coldly, and after sitting down at the main seat, he spoke slowly, "It's not that I'm busy, I just ate the wrong food a few days ago, and I feel a little unwell."

When Liang You heard this, her face turned red immediately.
