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

Lu's sister-in-law and Lu Yunruo were leaning on the window inside the house and watching. Lu Zhizhou pushed them away with a dark face, "Men and women should not touch each other. Although you are my wife's second brother, she is already married and it is not appropriate to hug her like this."

Although he knew that Ruan Yunsheng had nothing to do with the man in front of him, he still tried his best to be patient with him because he was Ruan Yunsheng's second brother who had taken care of her in the Prime Minister's Mansion.

"Second brother?" Lu Yunruo murmured softly.

"So he is Yun Sheng's second brother." The sisters-in-law of the Lu family finally breathed a sigh of relief. Most of them took care of the inner house and since Ruan Yanci was a bastard's son, they naturally didn't know about it.

Not long after lunch, Ruan Yanci came and asked if Ruan Yunsheng was there as soon as he came in. They were shocked at the time, fearing that he was here to cause trouble for Ruan Yunsheng, so they said that Ruan Yunsheng was not there and they had found the wrong person. Unexpectedly, Ruan Yanci ignored them and just stood in the yard, waiting for Ruan Yunsheng to come back under the scorching sun.

"Even if she gets married, she will still be my sister."

Ruan Yanci met Lu Zhizhou's gaze without flinching. Lu Zhizhou pulled Ruan Yunsheng to his side and said, "You should know that she has no blood relationship with you. If that's the case, you should avoid suspicion."

Ruan Yanci clenched his hands at his sides, and Lu Zhizhou faced him without fear. Seeing this, Ruan Yunsheng stood between the two of them. Ruan Yanci loosened his hands that had just been clenched, as he was worried that he might hurt Ruan Yunsheng by accident.

"Brother, why are you here?"

Ruan Yanci changed his tone and said gently, "The Second Prince and I came here to do some work. He asked me to go out and do something for him this morning. I came to find you right after I finished my work. Who knew you were not here?"

"My husband and I just came back from dinner with the Second Prince."

Ruan Yanci was stunned after hearing this, then he pulled Ruan Yunsheng's clothes and checked her nervously, "Are you okay?"

"I'm fine, why did you say that, brother?"

Ruan Yanci's hands froze, "Oh, no, I just asked, why didn't I see you worry about you getting hurt."

"Since Second Brother is here, let's go in and talk. It's too hot in here."

Ruan Yanci smiled and touched Ruan Yunsheng's hair, "Okay, listen to Shengsheng."

Ruan Yunsheng got goosebumps. Why did she feel that Ruan Yanci was different from the one in her original owner's impression? She remembered that the original owner didn't have much contact with him. At most, Ruan Yanci knew that she was not favored in the Lu family, so he would send her any good things he had. Other than that, she really couldn't remember when she had such a good relationship with Ruan Yanci.

"But I want to talk to Shengsheng alone. Please don't disturb us from reminiscing about the past."

Ruan Yunsheng turned around, pulled Lu Zhizhou's clothes and nodded at him. Lu Zhizhou's originally dark face instantly brightened up, "I'm outside, call me if you need anything."

"it is good."

Ruan Yunsheng brought Ruan Yanci into the house. The furnishings in the house were simple, with only a table that was almost collapsing and a few stools. Ruan Yanci didn't mind and sat down directly.

"Shengsheng, how are you these days?"

Ruan Yunsheng took a deep breath, "Second brother, I remember that when we were in the Prime Minister's Mansion, our relationship was not good enough for you to come to me to reminisce about the past. What is the matter with you coming here this time?"

Ruan Yanci's eyes dimmed and he still had some hurt in them. "It turns out that in Shengsheng's eyes, my relationship with her is not good. I thought that we had the same experience in the Prime Minister's Mansion and would have different feelings. I thought Shengsheng had already regarded me as a brother. I didn't have the ability before, so I didn't dare to be too blatant in treating you well. But now I have the strength, and I don't have to be afraid of anyone anymore."

It turns out that in his eyes, the same experience will result in different feelings. He always thought that he had a good relationship with 'Ruan Yunsheng'. Looking at his expression and behavior, Ruan Yunsheng felt that he had some different feelings for the previous 'Ruan Yunsheng'.

"Second brother, you're overthinking. In my heart, you've always been my second brother, my elder brother. I remember all the kindness you showed me in the Prime Minister's Mansion in the past." No matter what, he now has the support of the Second Prince. It might be a good thing that he has different feelings for 'Ruan Yunsheng'. He has to stabilize him first.

Ruan Yanci's eyes brightened instantly, "Really? I knew Shengsheng would never forget Second Brother."

"By the way, second brother, why are you and the second prince here?"

Ruan Yunsheng quickly changed the subject. She really didn't like the way Ruan Yanci looked at him.

"It's better for Shengsheng not to know about this. I'm doing this for Shengsheng's safety." When mentioning this, Ruan Yanci's eyes revealed a sense of vigilance. Ruan Yunsheng looked at him. It seemed that Xuan Che really had something important to do this time.

"Hey, good second brother, just tell me. If you don't tell me, how can I protect myself from getting hurt?" For the first time, Ruan Yunsheng felt that green tea language was somewhat useful.

Ruan Yanci was stunned. This was the first time that Ruan Yunsheng acted like a spoiled child to him. Ruan Yanci's eyes brightened up a little more. "Shengsheng, okay, I really can't do anything about you. The Second Prince asked me to find someone."

Ruan Yunsheng's eyes flashed with cunning, and she said, "Who is it, a man or a woman?"

Ruan Yanci smiled helplessly, "It's a woman, very important to the Second Prince. I can't tell you who it is specifically, Shengsheng, be obedient and don't ask too many questions."

"Oh, okay." Ruan Yunsheng pretended to be disappointed.

Ruan Yanci raised his hand and stroked Ruan Yunsheng's hair. Ruan Yunsheng instinctively wanted to avoid him, but thinking that Ruan Yanci would still be useful to her in the future, she suppressed her disgust.

"Shengsheng, be good. I have something else to tell you."

"The Prime Minister's residence was confiscated, and my father, mother, and Ruan Jinjin were exiled. The place of exile is also in southern Xinjiang. You may meet them soon. My eldest brother was beaten to death during the house search."

Although Lu Zhizhou had told her the news a long time ago, she still pretended to be surprised in order to prevent him from finding out. "What? My parents and my eldest sister were all exiled? What about my second brother? Are you okay?"

Hearing that Ruan Yunsheng still cared about him, Ruan Yanci's smile almost melted, "Shengsheng, don't worry, my second brother is fine. The Second Prince saved me. Now that I am with the Second Prince, it can be considered a blessing in disguise."

Ruan Yunsheng was puzzled and wondered why the development of the matter was different from what she saw. The book clearly said that it was Ruan Yanci who found the Second Prince, but now it became Ruan Yanci who was protected by Xuan Che. Moreover, the book did not mention the Ruan family being exiled.

"Shengsheng?" Ruan Yanci saw her in a daze and raised his hand and waved it in front of her.

"Hmm? Oh, congratulations, second brother. Fortunately, you are appreciated by the Second Prince. As for Prime Minister Ruan's matter, it has nothing to do with me. He gave me a letter of severance of ties on the day I was exiled."

Ruan Yanci also knew about this matter. He told Ruan Yunsheng so that she would be prepared to see them again in the future.

"Well, if they make things difficult for you in the future, just write to my second brother and he will help you. I will also visit you in southern Xinjiang often."
