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

Ruan Yanci chatted with Ruan Yunsheng for a few more words and was about to leave. The task assigned to him by the Second Prince had not been completed yet. "Shengsheng, I can't stay here any longer today. I have to go back and report to the Second Prince."

"Okay, second brother, be careful." Ruan Yunsheng looked reluctant.

"Second brother knows about this. Shengsheng must protect herself as well. When you get to southern Xinjiang, write a letter to second brother."

"Okay, I understand, second brother." Ruan Yunsheng's well-behaved appearance made Ruan Yanci's macho heart very satisfied.

"Take this money. I know that when the general's mansion was raided, the entire storehouse was emptied by the thieves. You don't even have a penny. Thank you for your hard work along the way."

Ruan Yunsheng's eyes lit up. She wanted to make sure she didn't refuse the money that was delivered to her door. Besides, she suspected that Ruan Yanci was blind. Which eye did he use to see that she was not doing well?

"It's not hard. This is my life. Thank you, second brother. If you hadn't stayed with me along the way, I don't know how I would have made it to southern Xinjiang." As he spoke, Ruan Yunsheng raised his hand and wiped his eyes.

"You can use these first. When you get to southern Xinjiang, write to my second brother and tell me where you are. I will have someone send you some silver."

"Thank you, second brother. You are so kind."

Ruan Yunsheng lowered his eyes and raised the corners of his mouth. It was really nice to give her money.

"Okay, second brother is leaving, Shengsheng, take care on your journey."

"Yeah, so is my second brother."

Ruan Yunsheng sent Ruan Yanci to the door and closed the gate of the yard after seeing him get on the carriage. At this time, Lu Zhizhou came out of Old Madam Lu's room and took Ruan Yunsheng's hand and went back to the house.

As soon as they entered the room, Lu Zhizhou kissed her all over until Ruan Yunsheng struggled, "Um~ Lu Zhizhou, you almost suffocated me to death."

Lu Zhizhou felt a little guilty, "Shengsheng, I'm sorry, I couldn't control my emotions."

"Are you doing this because of Ruan Yanci?"

Lu Zhizhou did not deny it. When he heard Ruan Yanci calling Ruan Yunsheng "Shengsheng", he wanted to go up and sew Ruan Yanci's mouth shut.

"He has different feelings for 'Ruan Yunsheng'. I don't know why and when. In my original memory, Ruan Yunsheng and him didn't have any interactions. At most, he would send gifts to her. So how did Ruan Yanci fall in love with her?"

Lu Zhizhou naturally knew that she was talking about Ruan Yunsheng, not her. "Perhaps we share the same suffering. We are both pawns of Prime Minister Ruan, and we are both unfavored. Every time you were bullied in the Prime Minister's Mansion, he saw it and it aroused his desire to protect you. After he knew that you were not Prime Minister Ruan's biological daughter, his desire to protect you became abnormal. He wanted to keep you by his side and protect you forever. Your weakness can arouse his desire to protect and his desire to win."

Ruan Yunsheng probably understood, or maybe Ruan Yanci didn't like her at all, he just had a perverted desire to protect and possess her. Ruan Yunsheng suddenly felt a little cautious, as she had just been alone with a pervert for so long.

Seeing Ruan Yunsheng's frightened look, Lu Zhizhou pinched her cheek and said, "You were calling me good second brother just now, why are you scared now?"

"You were eavesdropping on our conversation? Why? Are you worried about what Ruan Yanci might do to me?" Ruan Yunsheng slapped Lu Zhizhou's hand away, and looked at Lu Zhizhou with his head tilted, as if he had discovered something incredible.

Lu Zhizhou coughed twice to ease the embarrassment, "Ahem, who said I was eavesdropping? People who practice martial arts have better hearing than ordinary people. How could I not hear you guys talking so loudly?"

"Let's talk business. I suspect that the person Xuan Che is looking for is Xiang Ling." Lu Zhizhou took the opportunity to change the subject.

"Hmm? Xiangling? Why do you say that?"

"My people saw Ruan Yan quitting the slave market and asking around for a woman. Based on what he said, I guess it was Xiangling."

Ruan Yunsheng was a little puzzled. "What does this have to do with Xiangling? If Ruan Yan quit the slave trade market, would the boss betray us?"

Lu Zhizhou gave her a reassuring look, "The boss took so much money from you yesterday, and was afraid that you would regret it and ask him to return it, so he ran away last night, and Ruan Yanci couldn't find him."

Ruan Yunsheng finally breathed a sigh of relief. "By the way, have Xiangling and Suji been discovered by him?"

"When mother and sister-in-law saw Ruan Yanci coming, they couldn't tell whether he was a good person or a bad person, so they hid the two of them. This can be considered as helping us by accident."

"Luckily, my mother and the others are here, otherwise Xiangling and Suji would have been discovered. But I don't understand why Xuanche wants to find Xiangling and knows her appearance so well. He and Xiangling must have never met before."

According to Xiangling, she is from Lanyuan, and this should be her first time in Dongling Kingdom. Then she and Xuanche must have never met each other. If they have never met each other, why does Xuanche know Xiangling's appearance so clearly?

"I can't explain this clearly." Lu Zhizhou shook his head. He didn't know why Xuan Che knew Xiang Ling. What was Xiang Ling's identity that made Xuan Che so anxious that he would travel day and night to Furong City to find her.

"There is one more thing. Ruan Yanci told me that the Second Prince had saved him. If so, he and the Second Prince had known each other for a long time. I'm afraid they had already started to set up a trap when we were exiled. Otherwise, they would not have been able to catch Ruan Jisheng in such a short time. But the book I read said that Ruan Yanci approached Xuan Che after I was exiled."

All of this was like a mystery, slowly looming over Ruan Yunsheng's head. She thought that she was a time traveler and at least had a grasp of the overall situation. However, the more she walked, the more she discovered that many things had deviated from the original history. Was it that someone deliberately did not write down the true history, or was it that her arrival rewrote history?

"Are you saying that Ruan Yanci and Xuan Che have known each other for a long time? Based on my understanding of Xuan Che, he would not take the initiative to find anyone, not to mention that he is a bastard who has no use value. But if Xuan Che took the initiative to find Ruan Yanci as you said, there is only one possibility, he already knew that Ruan Yanci was useful to him, very useful."

Ruan Yunsheng was startled, then shook his head, "Impossible, this is impossible."

"What's wrong? What's impossible?"

Ruan Yunsheng frowned, "You just said that Xuan Che knew from the beginning that Ruan Yanci would be useful to him. Could it be that there is a time traveler like me beside Xuan Che?"

Lu Zhizhou pursed his lips. If that was the case, everything made sense. It just seemed a little too fantastic. However, it was not difficult to accept. Since Ruan Yunsheng could travel through time, then other people could also travel through time as long as the conditions were the same.

"Perhaps what you said is true. If that's the case, we have to be careful. The opponent is in the dark and we don't know how capable the opponent is."

This is also what Ruan Yunsheng was thinking about. If there really was a time traveler like her around Xuan Che, would that person also have some kind of space or something, or maybe she had a stronger system than hers.

"If she really exists, Xuan Che must have hidden her very well, so we can't find her easily. Xiangling's identity might have been told to her by that person. Xuan Che now has Ruan Yanci and a mysterious man by his side. Things seem to be more difficult than we thought before." Ruan Yunsheng lay on the table, feeling so tired. It was really tiring to use his brain.
