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

Lu Zhizhou frowned and covered Ruan Yunsheng's eyes. If he had known this would happen, he would not have brought Ruan Yunsheng here. Ruan Yunsheng slapped his hand away. How could she not see this scene?

"Shengsheng." Lu Zhizhou's slightly hoarse voice sounded in Ruan Yunsheng's ears. Ruan Yunsheng was stunned and coughed twice. "Ahem, I just want to give something to the county magistrate."

Lu Zhizhou put his hand down and said, "Don't look around."

"Okay, okay, don't look around." She just took a glance and there was nothing good to see about the turtle and the leek. Ruan Yunsheng took out a bag of powder like a magic trick and asked Lu Zhizhou to blow it in. She wouldn't use this thing, what if she got stuck in it?

Lu Zhizhou didn't ask the reason. He took out the thing and blew it in. Then Ruan Yunsheng told him that he could leave. Soon, bursts of women's screams came from the county magistrate's house, which lasted all night and made people toss and turn in bed.

Ruan Yunsheng asked Lu Zhizhou to take her to where there were refugees. After Lu Zhizhou brought the people there, Ruan Yunsheng took out a piece of cloth and gave it to Lu Zhizhou to cover his face. Ruan Yunsheng took out a silver note from her arms (space) and stuffed it into the refugee's chest.

"What are you doing?" Ruan Yunsheng didn't expect that this group of refugees would wake up so easily. It seemed that these people had been bullied a lot in recent days.

"Don't be scared, don't be nervous, I just want to give you some money. If you don't believe me, look at your arms."

Ruan Yunsheng looked at the man who was on guard against her, sighed, and spoke kindly.

The man opened his arms and found a banknote. “It’s really a banknote. You…”

"Shh." Ruan Yunsheng covered the man's mouth with his hand, "You all had your houses washed away by the flood?"

"Female Bodhisattva, you are right. The county magistrate was cruel and brought the flood to our village. All the houses of more than 100 households in our village were destroyed. We had no choice but to come to the county government, but the county magistrate kept evading us. We have no place to live and can only stay here."

Ruan Yunsheng could hear the endless sadness in just a few words. "Wake them up and tell them that I'm giving them money. Remember to keep your voice low and don't alarm anyone."

The man listened to Ruan Yunsheng and did as she said. All the refugees looked at Ruan Yunsheng as if she were a monster, not knowing whether what she said was true or not.

Ruan Yunsheng didn't say a word as he distributed the silver notes to the refugees one by one. Lu Zhizhou had already seen these silver notes at the county government office. The lack of official seals meant that they were not government money. Even if they took them, the government would not be able to find them. Even if they found such a large amount, they would not dare to take them back openly. Therefore, the county magistrate could only swallow his bitterness like Xuan Che.

Ruan Yunsheng gave all the money to them. The refugees didn't react until Ruan Yunsheng left the group. Then they suddenly realized that they had met a female Bodhisattva and quickly knelt down in the direction of Ruan Yunsheng.

"Shengsheng, are you done with your work?"

"Well, I'm done. I'm exhausted."

“I got caught.”

"Ok?"

The next day, Ruan Yunsheng walked out of the room holding her waist. Seeing Lu Zhizhou's happy face, Ruan Yunsheng was filled with anger. Only later did she realize what it meant to be tricked. This bastard was really insidious.

She kept saying no, no, enough, enough, but he actually said, 'Women always like to say the opposite of what they mean. Shengsheng's no means yes'. She said yes, yes, yes, and he shamelessly said, 'As long as Shengsheng likes it, I'll give it to you'. She was angered by Lu Zhizhou again and again, and unfamiliar things happened between them.

"Shengsheng, are you okay?"

Ruan Yunsheng rolled his eyes at him and gritted his teeth, "What do you think?"

Lu Zhizhou was not annoyed, "Eat something quickly, we have to go shopping together later."

"Shopping?" They have food, enough to last them for a while.

"Brother Pei came to tell me this morning that this will be our last county town. We will gradually enter the desert after walking another fifty miles. There will be no more county towns for us to pass by before this. There is an ancient city in the desert. We need to walk for at least half a month to reach it."

Ruan Yunsheng finally understood that this meant that he had to prepare food for the next half month to one month.

"okay, I get it."

This time, thanks to the Lu family, the Chen family and the Ye family can also go out to purchase. The only difference from the Lu family is that each of them can only send one buyer out and there is an official following them to prevent them from escaping.

The purchasing for the Lu family was still handled by Lu Zhizhou and Ruan Yunsheng. The food for half a month to a month could not all be prepared on the spot, and had to be mainly dry food. In addition, water resources were very important in the desert, so Ruan Yunsheng decided to buy more water bags. She really wanted to take out the bottle but she couldn't.

Ruan Yunsheng and Lu Zhizhou did not see any refugees along the way. Instead, they heard a piece of news that the county magistrate and his new concubine played in the room all night last night, and the county magistrate's thing was broken. He might have to live like a eunuch from now on. The county magistrate's warehouse was looted by thieves overnight, and not even a rat shit was left.

Ruan Yunsheng smiled when he heard the news. This was exactly what the heroine in this book did. A disabled person could not be an official. It was believed that the county magistrate would have to step down soon. All his money had been taken away by her. He had no money and was a eunuch. She also wanted to make the county magistrate taste the feeling of despair.

Ruan Yunsheng and Lu Zhizhou bought an entire mule cart. The Chen and Ye families also bought their things and everyone went back together. Lu Zhizhou and the other men moved the flour on the cart to the kitchen to make steamed buns and pancakes. Ruan Yunsheng was not good at it, but Ye was very good at it. Ruan Yunsheng handed it over to Ye, and the others helped too. After all, these were things they bought to eat together, so the more people who helped, the better.

"Sister-in-law, did you see when you went out? This street was full of refugees yesterday, but today there is no one."

Lu Zhizhou and Ruan Yunsheng smiled at each other, "Maybe they met some good people."

"Ah?" Pei Yan scratched his head. He didn't understand anything Ruan Yunsheng said.

When Ruan Yunsheng and Lu Zhizhou were about to return to their room, they heard a cry. They walked towards the direction of the cry and saw Lu Yunruo crying alone. Ruan Yunsheng glanced at Lu Zhizhou, who nodded at her. Ruan Yunsheng walked towards Lu Yunruo.

"Xiao Ba, what's wrong with you?"

“Seventh sister-in-law, wuwuwu~” Lu Yunruo turned around and saw Ruan Yunsheng hugging her and crying even louder.

"What's wrong, Xiaoba? Who bullied you?" Ruan Yunsheng frowned. She had known Lu Yunruo for so long but this was the first time she saw her cry so sadly.

"Why, why doesn't mother let me be with Xiao Yi, why..."

Ruan Yunsheng breathed a sigh of relief and thought it was something serious. "Xiao Ba, it's impossible for you and Xiao Yi to be together."

Lu Yunruo looked incredulous, "Sister-in-law Qi, why do you say that too?"

"Because you are already married, mother just didn't tell you about this." Ruan Yunsheng didn't want to lie to Lu Yunruo, but if she didn't do this, how could she dispel Lu Yunruo's idea? It would be impossible for her and Xiao Yi to be together in this life.
