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

"Haha, I'm just teasing you. I'm just not happy with what the Dog Emperor did. Stop talking nonsense now. If you keep talking nonsense for a while, I won't be able to treat their wounds when they wake up."

Hearing this, Lu Zhizhou shut his mouth and let Ruan Yunsheng apply the medicine on his body. He did not ask Ruan Yunsheng where the medicine came from, but his intuition told him that Ruan Yunsheng would not harm him.

But when Ruan Yunsheng touched some places that shouldn't be touched, Lu Zhizhou dared not move, feeling awkward and helpless. Now there was no one else who could help him except Ruan Yunsheng.

But after all, they were only nominally married, and these actions were still a bit embarrassing for him.

"Ruan Yunsheng, what are you doing?"

Just when Ruan Yunsheng was about to take off Lu Zhizhou's pants, Du Fangyao walked out from the darkness and looked at Ruan Yunsheng with anger on her face.

"What am I doing?" Ruan Yunsheng asked back.

Because Du Fangyao's voice was too loud, the Lu family members and the officials were awakened by her. The other families were far away and were not disturbed. The Lu family members came to Lu Zhizhou.

"What are you doing? Are you looking for trouble by not sleeping at night?"

The officer was very unhappy because his sleep was disturbed, so he pulled up the whip and started waving it at the grass.

Only then did Du Fangyao realize that she had been too reckless. Looking at the whip in the officer's hand, Du Fangyao shrank her neck.

But thinking of what happened just now, Du Fangyao straightened her back. No matter what, she was going to make Ruan Yunsheng suffer today.

"Sir, I just saw Ruan Yunsheng doing something inappropriate to Lu Zhizhou. I suspect she wants to kill him."

When the Lu family heard this, they looked at Ruan Yunsheng with vigilance. Although they believed Ruan Yunsheng, they were still a little nervous when they heard Du Fangyao say this. After all, if Ruan Yunsheng wanted to take action, they would have no room to fight back.

"Du Fangyao, are you blind? Which eye of yours saw me trying to kill Lu Zhizhou?"

Ruan Yunsheng was speechless. He had seen stupid people, but he had never seen someone as stupid as this.

"I... Then tell me what you were doing there so late at night. I saw you touching Lu Zhizhou all over. You either wanted to kill him or flirt with him. Ruan Yunsheng, you are really shameless. What else do you want to do to Lu Zhizhou when he is like this?"

Du Fangyao looked at her with contempt, and in her heart she had already convicted Ruan Yunsheng.

Old Madam Lu looked at Ruan Yunsheng without saying anything. She knew that the Lu family had wronged her as she was sentenced to exile right after her wedding. But no matter what, she couldn't be so anxious, especially since Zhizhou was still injured.

"You have a really good imagination. You only saw me touching Lu Zhizhou, but didn't you see me applying medicine to him?"

Ruan Yunsheng shook the medicine bottle in his hand. Du Fangyao was stunned when she saw the bottle. She did see Ruan Yunsheng touching Lu Zhizhou just now, but it was too dark and she didn't expect Ruan Yunsheng to have medicine to heal Lu Zhizhou.

The Lu family looked at the medicine bottle in Ruan Yunsheng's hand, and their hearts finally settled down.

Madam Lu coughed lightly, "Ahem, how is Ruan Zhizhou's injury?"

Ruan Yunsheng put away the medicine bottle in her hand, "Mom, I have treated half of Lu Zhizhou's injuries. I was just about to treat the wound on his leg when she interrupted me."

Ruan Yunsheng raised his chin slightly, indicating to everyone that it was Du Fangyao's fault.

Du Fangyao knew she was in the wrong, and she had just realized that they were now exiled criminals. Each family had its own resting place, and they were not allowed to leave without the permission of the officials. But now she was on the Lu family's territory.

"Why are you here so late at night instead of staying at home? Are you itching for trouble?"

The officer was already in a bad mood because he was woken up in the middle of the night. Moreover, the criminals who were exiled this time were all poor and they didn't get any benefits. As a result, the officer took out all his unhappiness on Du Fangyao.

"No, Brother Officer, I just want to see Brother Lu's injuries, I..."

"He has a wife, how can you, an outsider, have so many problems? Do you really think you are still a rich lady?"

As he said that, the officer swung his whip at Du Fangyao. Du Fangyao was a pampered young lady after all, and had never endured such a punishment. She immediately cried out "Ah".

"Official, please spare my life. I know I was wrong. I will go back now."

Du Fangyao ran back while begging for mercy. The officers saw that the troublemakers had left and didn't want to deal with the rest of the matter.

"Hurry up and get some rest, and set off early tomorrow morning."

After the official left, the old lady of the Lu family and the Lu family's sisters-in-law all gathered around.

"Yun Sheng, how is Zhizhou's injury?"

She was old and exhausted after a day's journey, so she hadn't had time to ask about Lu Zhizhou's injury today. She only remembered it now and looked at Ruan Yunsheng with a worried look on her face.

"I've already taken care of most of it. I'll check his legs later. But you have to be prepared that his legs may not be able to stand up."

Madam Lu swayed and almost lost her balance. "Can't stand? Whatever, as long as we can stay alive, there are so many of us. We can always find a way to go to Southern Xinjiang."

The sister-in-law of the Lu family wiped her eyes lightly. There was only this one man left in the Lu family, and he was in such a state now. Lu Yunruo, who had always been at odds with Ruan Yunsheng, was surprisingly silent today.

"Mom, don't worry. I will do my best to treat him. I haven't carefully examined his injuries yet. Maybe they are not that serious."

These words were of course meant to lie to Madam Lu. She had seen Lu Zhizhou's legs when he was at the General's Mansion. Just now when she was applying medicine to him, she specifically pressed Lu Zhizhou's legs and found that Lu Zhizhou did not react at all. She estimated that Lu Zhizhou's legs were most likely disabled.

However, we can only know the extent of the damage and whether it can be cured after a comprehensive examination.

Old Madam Lu knew that Ruan Yunsheng's words were meant to comfort her, but she hoped that this comfort would become a reality.

"Then I'll trouble you, Ruan, to take care of Zhizhou. If there's anything you need..."

Old Madam Lu paused. They were penniless now, and they couldn’t afford to help even if he needed help. Could they really just watch their little son fend for himself?

"Mom, don't worry. My parents gave me some money. If my seventh brother needs it, I can always give it to him."

Old Madam Lu looked at Meng Yanan with gratitude. She knew how important money was to them during their exile, but now she had no choice because of Lu Zhizhou.

It didn't matter if they suffered a little during exile, as long as Lu Zhizhou could survive.

"Mom, don't worry. Although my fake father is not my biological father, he has raised me for more than ten years. The bag they gave me contains medicine, enough to treat Lu Zhizhou's illness. Besides, before we were kicked out of the mansion, an old nanny stuffed a bottle of medicine into my hand."
