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

"What? Why don't I know?" Lu Yunruo was surprised.

Women in ancient times still valued chastity very much, which is why Ruan Yunsheng brought up Lu Yunruo's marriage, "Really, maybe mother didn't tell you, Xiao Ba, you may just have a temporary infatuation or admiration or curiosity about Xiao Yi. Have you ever thought that you don't like him at all?"

Although Lu Yunruo was born into a military family, Madam Lu was very strict in her education. Apart from her brother, Lu Yunruo only had Chen Qingran and other young men in the capital. She had never come into contact with a simple man like Xiao Yi, perhaps it was just a momentary curiosity.

Lu Yunruo listened to Ruan Yunsheng's words and thought, is she really just curious about Xiao Yi? Lu Yunruo recalled that she seemed to have little contact with Xiao Yi during this journey. Why did she say that she liked him? Even she herself didn't know why.

"Xiao Ba, think carefully about what you want to like about Chu. If you don't even know why you like him, how can you talk about liking him?"

"You and Xiao Yi are from two different worlds. Even if the General's Mansion was confiscated, you are still the former lady of the General's Mansion, and he has been just a small yamen runner from beginning to end. His annual salary may not even be enough for you to eat delicacies from land and sea, or even buy you a wide-sleeved skirt. The difficulties of the Lu family are temporary. When the Lu family returns to its peak, you will be the high-ranking lady again. Will you still want to be with him then?"

Lu Yunruo didn't say anything. She met Xiao Yi when she was in the most embarrassing situation. When he saved her fifth sister-in-law, she felt a sense of security. Maybe it was just the atmosphere that scared her and he happened to break into her world when she was most afraid.

"I understand, Sister-in-law Qi. I will think about it carefully."

A woman from a general family can take it or leave it, and everything will be fine once she figures it out. Ruan Yunsheng looked at her back and thought she should be fine. Poor Xiao Ba, his relationship ended before it even began.

When returning, Ruan Yunsheng told Lu Zhizhou about this matter. Lu Zhizhou had the same idea as Ruan Yunsheng. First, it was impossible for Lu Yunruo and Xiao Yi to be together. Lu Yunruo's future identity could only be that. Second, Lu Yunruo only admired and was curious about Xiao Yi. She had never liked him. It was just that the little girl was young and didn't know it.

"Shengsheng, do you know what love is? Can you tell me tonight?"

"Get lost, tonight is the last day I'll sleep in this bed and I have to enjoy it."

"Yeah, last day of sleeping in the bed."

The next day, as expected, Ruan Yunsheng came out again, holding his waist.

"Sister-in-law Qi, what's wrong with you?"

"It's okay, Xiaoba, what's the matter so early?" Ruan Yunsheng put his hand down, his face didn't turn red, but his ears turned red.

"I just came to tell you that I've figured it out. I never liked him at all. It was just an illusion that I mistook for liking him."

Ruan Yunsheng patted her head with relief, "It would be great if you can figure it out. Go back and pack up and get ready to leave."

Half an hour later, Pei Yan urged everyone to hurry up.

The closer they got to the desert, the hotter it got. They walked for another day, and when they were still a dozen kilometers away from entering the desert, Pei Yan decided to rest for a night. After all, he wouldn't be able to sleep so peacefully once he entered the desert.

Just as everyone was setting up their tents, Pei Yan came over.

"Brother Lu, there is a desert ahead of my sister-in-law."

"Yes, we know. Thank you, Brother Pei, for reminding us."

"There is a desert ahead. You must be very careful when you get there. There are all kinds of things in the desert. We will be in an uninhabited area in the desert for half a month before we reach the ancient city. You must be very careful, especially at night."

Lu Zhizhou was fine, but Ruan Yunsheng frowned after hearing this. Why did she feel that Pei Yan was a little weird? She was too familiar with the word "no man's land". She had heard of "no man's land" a lot in modern times. It was said that before the end of the world, a rich second-generation was so bored that he went in to explore and ended up being eaten by eagles and wolves. It seemed that the possibility of surviving in a no man's land was slim.

"Thank you, Brother Pei, for the reminder."

"Okay, you guys go ahead and do your work, I'm going to have a good rest too."

After Pei Yan left, Ruan Yunsheng always felt that something was wrong but couldn't put his finger on it. "Lu Zhizhou, do you feel anything is wrong?"

Lu Zhizhou chuckled, "You also discovered it? Pei Yan lied. He has never walked through the desert, or he has never even been to Lin'an County. He may have only been to Lao San's village and then led the criminal to another road."

"In that case, why did he do this this time?"

Lu Zhizhou looked towards the capital and said slowly, "I'm afraid he didn't want to do this, but someone ordered him to do it because they didn't want me to be alive. As for Pei Yan, he was just following orders. Since he didn't say anything, he must have been ordered not to reveal it. He deliberately revealed some small flaws so that we could find out about it."

After listening to Lu Zhizhou's words, Ruan Yunsheng recalled some of the strange things Pei Yan had done in recent days. It turned out that he deliberately revealed these flaws for them to discover.

"If that's the case, Pei Yan is quite a nice guy."

Lu Zhizhou chuckled and touched Ruan Yunsheng's waist. Ruan Yunsheng froze and the smile on her face froze, "Madam, are you saying that your husband is not kind enough?"

"How could that be possible? Look at you, you only know how to slander me." Ruan Yunsheng pouted with dissatisfaction.

Lu Zhizhou swallowed a mouthful of saliva with a "gulp". Didn't she know how tempting her little action was at this moment? Lu Zhizhou lowered his head and kissed her on her red lips. Ruan Yunsheng quickly pushed him away. There were really so many people here. What if they were discovered?

"Lu Zhizhou."

Lu Zhizhou's voice was slightly hoarse, "Shengsheng doesn't know how touching her expression is. I am so tempted."

Ruan Yunsheng was speechless. Ever since the old man Lu Zhizhou had his fill of sex, she had become uncontrollable. Fortunately, she could control herself before, but recently, for some reason, he had been clinging to her like an old bitch in heat.

"Lu Zhizhou, if you keep doing this I will go to sleep with my mother and the others. You can sleep alone. My waist still hurts."

Lu Zhizhou immediately restrained himself when he heard this. How could it be okay for his wife to sleep with his mother? He hadn't hugged his wife enough. "Okay, can't I not say anything?"

"Hurry up and set up the tent. Look, mother and the others have already set up the tent." Ruan Yunsheng urged Lu Zhizhou. Lu Zhizhou smiled and said lovingly, "I will set up the tent for you now."

Ruan Yunsheng's face turned red all the way to her ears because of Lu Zhizhou's teasing. Old Madam Lu and sister-in-law Lu couldn't stop laughing when they saw the interaction between the two. Lu Zhizhou has become more humane since he met Ruan Yunsheng.

"Sister, Suji said someone is following us, about ten kilometers away from us."

Ruan Yunsheng and Lu Zhizhou were still setting up the tent when they heard Xiangling's voice. Ruan Yunsheng saw that Su Ji was able to stand up, but his body was still in a half-bent position and he had to continue practicing. It seemed that Xiangling had trained him a lot.

"what happened?"
