Confiscated the property and exiled? I emptied the warehouse and fled the famine.

Ruan Yunsheng was lying on the bed with her legs crossed, looking very comfortable. When Lu Zhizhou came in, he heard her humming a little tune and walked to her side with a smile.

"Why are you so happy?"

Ruan Yunsheng finally got excited when she saw Lu Zhizhou coming and sat up. "You're finally here. I'm so bored. Mom and the others are making a tent. I wanted to help, but they don't seem to need me at all. My uncles are making dinner, so I can only lie here and count beans."

Ruan Yunsheng hugged Lu Zhizhou tightly. She was really about to suffocate. She had never felt so bored during this entire journey.

Lu Zhizhou hugged Ruan Yunsheng back and held her soft body in his arms, "Soon you won't be bored anymore."

Ruan Yunsheng raised his head suddenly and accidentally bumped into Lu Zhizhou's chin. Lu Zhizhou covered his chin with his hands, looking painful. Ruan Yunsheng stuck out his tongue playfully, "Sorry, I'm too excited. Tell me why I won't be bored soon."

Lu Zhizhou tapped her nose lightly, "You may not know yet, but Prime Minister Ruan, your father, was confiscated and also exiled to southern Xinjiang, right behind us."

"Huh? How come that old man's house was also searched?" But even if his house was searched, it was just a lonely search. There was nothing in the warehouse because she had emptied it all.

"You may not know that it was Ruan Yanci who planned it. The entire Ruan family except him was exiled. The eldest son of the Ruan family resisted and was beaten to death when the family was searched."

Ruan Yunsheng was stunned. If Lu Zhizhou hadn't said that, she would have forgotten to write a letter to her second brother, asking him to be careful about the Second Prince Xuan Che. That useless guy in the Ruan family was dead. Does that mean that now the Ruan family only has the Ruan couple and Ruan Jinjin left?

"Designed by Ruan Yanci?"

"Well, this is the information given by the secret guards. They won't be wrong."

Ruan Yunsheng pursed his lips into a straight line, pinching his chin with his index finger and thumb, "Even if Ruan Yanci is well-versed in classics, how could he, a person without any background, bring down the Ruan family so easily? No matter how poor the Ruan family is, they still have a prime minister, unless..."

Lu Zhizhou took over her words and continued, "Unless someone is helping him."

"And the most likely person is the second prince Xuan Che." Ruan Yunsheng continued to analyze.

"It's not possible, it must be him."

Ruan Yunsheng tilted his head, "Why are you so sure?"

"The next thing I want to tell you is the second thing that will keep you from being bored. Xuan Che has arrived in Furong City. If he wants to see me, he will send someone to come tomorrow."

Ruan Yunsheng instantly felt that Lu Zhizhou was so amazing. Even in such a situation, he still had so much information. She was curious about how the information was sent to him. If he sent messages every time, wouldn't it be easy for others to find out?

"Lu Zhizhou, how do the secret guards give you information? Won't someone find out?"

Lu Zhizhou looked at her with a bit of disdain, "Secret guards live in the dark. If they show up and are still discovered, then it's better not to be a secret guard."

"Didn't you say that the two secret guards walking ahead of us wouldn't easily attack, and would only show up when we reach Southern Xinjiang?"

Lu Zhizhou was helpless but still patiently continued to explain, "If they can't even protect my safety, what's the point of them going to Southern Xinjiang alone? Not taking action easily doesn't mean they won't provide me with information. They will only show up in front of you when they go to Southern Xinjiang, but it doesn't mean they won't show up in front of me."

Ruan Yunsheng felt like she was bumped into and pursed her lips. Is it a big deal to have a secret guard? She still has Little Apple.

"Oh, then when will the Ruan family arrive in southern Xinjiang?" With the Du family and the Li family gone, it's now good for her vicious stepmother, oh no, even the stepmother is not her biological daughter, and her older sister will not be bored anymore when she is accompanied by her.

"They arrived about half a month later than us. When I received the news, their homes had been confiscated and they were exiled."

"How come Xuan Che was able to catch up with us in such a short time?" Ruan Yunsheng was puzzled. It must have only been four or five days at most, and he had already caught up with them? Their pace of one month was not as fast as the horses' four or five days' running?

"Don't you see what kind of horse that is? How can it compare with your two-legged man and four-legged mule?" Lu Zhizhou chuckled. Xuan Che's horse was a royally bestowed Ferghana horse that could travel a thousand miles a day. If he wanted to see him, he could just wait until he reached southern Xinjiang. Why did he choose to meet him halfway?

"Lu Zhizhou, you are laughing at me. We cannot afford to buy a horse with our current status. In order to reduce the burden, I can only buy a mule. What's wrong with a mule? After all, it is a cross between a horse and a donkey."

Ruan Yunsheng pouted and crossed her arms, very dissatisfied with Lu Zhizhou's words. Lu Zhizhou smiled and pulled her into his arms, resting his chin on her head, "How dare I laugh at Shengsheng, Shengsheng is so cute."

Ruan Yunsheng felt for a moment that Lu Zhizhou's words were somewhat familiar, but she couldn't remember where they were familiar.

"I was thinking, if Xuan Che wanted to see me, he could just wait for me in Southern Xinjiang. Why did he come all the way to Furong City..."

"Furong City? This is Furong City?" Ruan Yunsheng was shocked. She was so happy when she went out to shop in the morning that she didn't pay attention to the words on the city gate. If this was Furong City, she could probably guess why Xuan Che came here.

"Well, you don't know?"

"I didn't notice the words on the city gate. Come with me now. Go get some clothes from the third brother quickly."

Lu Zhizhou didn't understand why Ruan Yunsheng was like this, but he knew that Ruan Yunsheng was so anxious that there must be something big, so he immediately did what Ruan Yunsheng said.

Ruan Yunsheng ran to the officer's room and knocked on the door, "Brother Pei, I have something to tell you."

Hearing Ruan Yunsheng's hurried tone, Pei Yan realized what the matter was, and quickly stood up and opened the door, "Sister-in-law, tell me what's the matter."

"I need to go into the city with Lu Zhizhou right now. It's inconvenient for me to tell you, Brother Pei, if there's anything, but don't worry, we won't run away."

Pei Yan hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, go ahead, but you must come back before dark."

"No problem, thank you, Brother Pei." Ruan Yunsheng knew that coming back before dark was already the biggest concession Pei Yan had made to them, and it would be too much to ask for anything more.

After Lu Zhizhou changed his clothes and came out, Ruan Yunsheng didn't dare to delay for a moment. She didn't have much time left. She couldn't be sure when Xuan Che would arrive in Furong City. She had to solve this matter before Xuan Che arrived. She briefly explained a few words to Madam Lu and pulled Lu Zhizhou to the city.

After entering the city, Ruan Yunsheng began to look around, not knowing what she was looking for. Seeing that she was so anxious, Lu Zhizhou didn't want to disturb her, so he accompanied her to look for it.

"How can it be that he is not here? That is impossible. According to the book, he must be here."

The sun has already set. If they can't find it, today's trip will be in vain. If Xuan Che finds it tomorrow, it will be too late. Ruan Yunsheng is very anxious.

"Shengsheng, what are you looking for?" Lu Zhizhou finally couldn't help but grab Ruan Yunsheng who was running around.
