Ruan Yunsheng's words caused ripples in Lu Zhizhou's heart, "Since Shengsheng invited me, I have no choice but to accept the invitation."

The water that had just covered Ruan Yunsheng's chest instantly reached her neck. "Aren't you cold?"

Ruan Yunsheng shook his head. "It will be warm in a while."

"Shengsheng is getting better and better at teasing people." Lu Zhizhou raised his hand to stroke the hair beside her ear, looking at Ruan Yunsheng with affection in his eyes as if he was going to swallow her into his mouth in the next second.

"This is teasing, what about this?" Ruan Yunsheng turned her head and held Lu Zhizhou's fingertips in her mouth, and a tingling sensation spread throughout Lu Zhizhou's body.

"Shengsheng is really a little devil." The water ripples, and just as Ruan Yunsheng said, it will no longer be cold in a moment. The originally calm water surface rolls up, and what is happening underwater is self-evident.

Lu Zhizhou was worried that the water was too cold and Ruan Yunsheng would not be able to handle it, so he pulled himself out to dry her and carried her to the bed. Ruan Yunsheng's hair was still wet and hung on her shoulders. A drop of water dripped down her hair and onto her cheek. Lu Zhizhou's Adam's apple rolled and gently kissed the drop of water, leaving her with no way to escape.

The bathtub returned to calm, the candles flickered slightly, the bed curtains fluttered, and the two people behind the curtains were doing something unspeakable.

--------------

The next morning, there was a knock on the door. This time it was Lu Yunruo. She said Pei Yan notified everyone to set off in an hour. Ruan Yunsheng moved to the side and continued to sleep.

Seeing this, Lu Zhizhou stood up and went to pack his things. He knew that Ruan Yunsheng had been exhausted last night, so he kissed her on the face when he passed by her. Ruan Yunsheng pushed him away impatiently, but Lu Zhizhou didn't get angry and rubbed her face with his nose twice before getting up.

After everything was ready, Lu Zhizhou pulled Ruan Yunsheng out of the bed. Ruan Yunsheng was very reluctant. She was very annoyed why she had to provoke him last night. Now she was already tired, and she was even more tired after what happened last night.

Lu Zhizhou patiently helped Ruan Yunsheng put on clothes. He was too tired last night and went to bed directly after washing her. As for clothes, he liked this feeling since he slept with Ruan Yunsheng openly last time, so he deliberately did not let her wear clothes.

When Ruan Yunsheng and Lu Zhizhou went out, everyone was ready and waiting for them. Ruan Yunsheng felt very embarrassed for making so many people wait for them. Pei Yan let everyone go only after seeing the two of them come out.

Ruan Yunsheng turned around and looked towards the top of the desert city, only to see Lu Yin standing on the city wall. Seeing Ruan Yunsheng looking at her, she smiled and waved to her. Ruan Yunsheng also waved goodbye to her. She believed that they would see each other again one day.

"I hope Third Brother can come to southern Xinjiang and meet up with us as soon as possible." Ruan Yunsheng whispered in Lu Zhizhou's ear.

Lu Zhizhou smiled and looked at her lovingly, "I will." Ruan Yunsheng was a lucky star to him. If it weren't for her, he would have been disabled if not dead, let alone saving his third brother.

"Shengsheng, thank you."

"You're welcome. When we get to Southern Xinjiang, just make some extra money for me to spend."

Lu Zhizhou chuckled, "Okay, then Shengsheng will be responsible for being beautiful, okay?"

Ruan Yunsheng shook her head and said, "Not good." Having no source of income is like being strangled by someone, and she doesn't want that.

"Then Shengsheng can do whatever he wants then, okay?"

"Ah."

Ruan Yunsheng thought about it and realized that she actually already had a career, and Li Yi's hot pot restaurant should be open by now. According to her method, the hot pot restaurant's business could not be bad.

The journey lasted another three days. At noon on the third day, when everyone was preparing to rest, something went wrong at the Lu family's side and the eldest sister-in-law of the Lu family collapsed.

"Sister-in-law Qi, please check on Sister-in-law. She has fainted."

Ruan Yunsheng did not dare to be careless. He pulled up Meng Yanan's sleeve and began to diagnose. After taking the pulse, Ruan Yunsheng's face frowned. She seemed a little unconvinced and pulled Lu Yunruo's hand again, and then pulled the arms of the other two sisters-in-law, and the results were the same.

"Sister Ye, can I take your pulse?"

Ye pulled up his sleeve and handed it to Ruan Yunsheng without any hesitation. After he handed it to Ruan Yunsheng, his brows frowned even more tightly. It seemed that this was specifically aimed at the Lu family.

"Mom, stretch out your hand and I'll give it to you too."

As expected, no one from the Lu family escaped except her and Lu Zhizhou who were at Green Leaf at the time. It seemed that there was someone in that inn who poisoned the food while they were resting in the inn. Lu Zhizhou knew what had happened when he saw Ruan Yunsheng, but since Ruan Yunsheng didn't say anything, he was worried that she had other plans.

"It's okay, sister-in-law is just a little weak and has heatstroke. Has sister-in-law ever had a miscarriage before?"

"Yes, your sister-in-law was pregnant before, but she couldn't keep the baby because she had a miscarriage when the baby was more than six months old."

No wonder, miscarriage is harmful to the body. It seems that Meng Yanan did not take good care of herself that time. This poison is a chronic poison and the effect is not that fast. Meng Yanan now has symptoms indicating that her weak body has accelerated the spread of the poison.

Ruan Yunsheng looked at Lu Zhizhou with a troubled expression, then looked at Madam Lu, "I'll go get something for my sister-in-law to drink so she can feel better."

Ruan Yunsheng went to the camel and rummaged through the bag on the camel. Lu Zhizhou followed her and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Everyone in the Lu family except you and me has been poisoned. It's a colorless and odorless chronic poison."

Lu Zhizhou frowned like Ruan Yunsheng after hearing this. He didn't expect that the man who failed to attack him would turn to attack Lu's family. His method was really despicable. "Can you solve it?"

Ruan Yunsheng shook his head. "I can only control the spread of their poison. As for the detoxification, I don't have all the herbs I need. I checked the small mall and they don't have any."

It's not that she doesn't want to save him, it's just that she really has no other choice. You can imagine how precious the medicinal material is when it's not even available in a small shopping mall.

"What's missing?"

"Red Tianshan Snow Lotus." There are two types of Tianshan Snow Lotus. One is the white Tianshan Snow Lotus. Although it is hard to buy, it is relatively common and can be bought as long as you have money. The other is the red Tianshan Snow Lotus, also known as the blood lotus. The blood lotus is priceless and only one blood lotus can be produced from 100,000 Tianshan Snow Lotuses.

"Blood Lotus?" Lu Zhizhou pursed his lips. He knew about this Blood Lotus. It was rumored that there was only one Blood Lotus in the entire continent, and it was extremely precious.

"Relax, when we get to Southern Xinjiang I'll write a letter to Sister Lu Yin and ask her to help me look for it. She's well-informed and knows a lot of people, so I'm sure she'll find it."

"Okay, I'll arrange for people to look for us when we get to southern Xinjiang. Now that father and his family are gone, I can't let anything happen to mother and my sisters-in-law."

Ruan Yunsheng suddenly thought of something, and swallowed the words that came to his lips. He took out the medicine from the space and put it into the water bag, "Give this to the sister-in-law first, and then each of you drink some of the remaining water. You must drink it."

The Lu family looked at each other and then nodded. They thought that Ruan Yunsheng was afraid that they would get heatstroke, so they drank the water in the bag as Ruan Yunsheng requested.
