I traveled through the plane space with the trading system

When he arrived at Meng Kexin's door, Ye Muyuan stopped and gently put down the bucket in his hand. He silently stared at the petite figure in front of him, a trace of pity flashing in his eyes.

He said, "My name is Ye Muyuan." As soon as he finished speaking, he flashed like a ghost and disappeared from the spot in an instant, leaving only the rustling sound of the breeze blowing through the leaves.

It turned out that it was no coincidence that Ye Muyuan was still staying in the general's mansion at this moment.

In fact, it was because he keenly sensed the little girl's deep desire to escape from the mansion, and out of concern for her safety and an unspeakable sense of responsibility, Ye Muyuan resolutely decided to stay here and protect her.

Meng Kexin returned to the room, gave the water to Mu Changfeng, and then lay on the bed to plan her next move.

She didn't understand. She had clearly handed over the evidence of her second uncle's crime to the imperial guards, but why was her second uncle still at large?

Could it be that Second Uncle was also the Dog Emperor's spy, specifically monitoring her? The more Meng Kexin thought about it, the more horrified she felt. She decided to go to Ye Muyuan to discuss countermeasures.

She quietly slipped out of the room and looked for Ye Muyuan everywhere. Finally, she found Ye Muyuan in a corner of the garden.

"Brother Ye!" Meng Kexin ran over hurriedly.

Ye Muyuan turned around and saw Meng Kexin's anxious face. His heart tightened and he asked quickly, "What's wrong? Miss Meng, what happened?"

Meng Kexin told Ye Muyuan about her suspicions. Ye Muyuan pondered for a moment and said, "Perhaps your second uncle really does have a special identity. We can't act rashly. However, I will continue to investigate this matter and will definitely find the truth."

Meng Kexin nodded, looked at Ye Muyuan gratefully, and asked, "Brother Ye, can I trust you?"

Ye Muyuan looked at Meng Kexin with sparkling eyes. "Don't worry, I won't hurt you, nor will I tell anyone about your affairs." He raised three fingers and swore to the heavens, "I, Ye Muyuan, swear to the heavens. I will pay this oath with my blood. If I break this oath, I will pay it with blood."

She knew that the ancients attached great importance to oaths. Since he could make such a bloody oath, she might as well believe him for once. So she listened to Meng Kexin say: "Brother Ye, I want to empty the General's Mansion before I leave. You don't have to question it. I have my own way. But judging by the appearance of Second Uncle tonight, this is not an easy task. Are you willing to cooperate with me?"

Ye Muyuan nodded without even thinking, "Don't worry, no matter what decision you make, I will do my best to help you."

The two discussed an action plan and decided to sneak into the general's mansion warehouse tomorrow night. After getting the things, they would take Xiao Cui and Aunt Liu away.

After a good night's sleep and breakfast, Meng Kexin brought Cui'er to Aunt Liu's room. She first checked her injuries and saw that the bruised areas had scabbed over. She applied medicine to her. Aunt Liu said awkwardly, "Miss, I am a humble servant. Why would you bother applying medicine to me?"

Meng Kexin waved her hand and said nonchalantly, "Auntie Liu, from now on, you and Cui'er should stop calling yourselves slaves when you are here with me. You are both my relatives."

Cui Er said with emotion: "Miss, we dare not do that, but Miss, I don't know when the general and his wife will come back. If they come back, we won't be bullied."

Aunt Liu also nodded and said, "Yes, we are outnumbered and weak now, so it is not suitable for us to confront the Second Branch. So we can only endure it and wait for the general and his wife to return."

Meng Kexin nodded. "Aunt Liu, you've suffered so much for me this time. I've thought about it carefully. The General's Mansion right now is like a den of dragons and tigers. If they don't dare to touch me, they will target you two. So, why don't we go find my parents?"

"What did you say?" Aunt Liu and Cui'er looked at Meng Kexin in disbelief at the same time.

"I said, I want to go find my parents." Meng Kexin looked serious, without any trace of joking.

Aunt Liu didn't make a fuss this time. Instead, she said seriously, "Miss, this journey to the border is a thousand miles away. Have you thought it through?"

"Think it through." Meng Kexin said firmly, "Although they don't dare to do anything to me openly now, the fact that I'm the head of the Second House cannot be changed. Moreover, I've been held hostage in the capital by the Emperor. If they knew that I'm no longer the timid eldest daughter, I don't think my future will be so peaceful. Rather than letting others manipulate me, I might as well go directly to my parents."

Aunt Liu heard Meng Kexin's words and realized she was planning to go to the border alone, so she quickly said, "Miss, it was Madam who saved me back then. I swore an oath to be a slave, and the indenture is in Madam's hands. I also promised Madam that I would protect you, so no matter where you go, I will follow you."

Cui Er also hurriedly said, "Miss, I am your personal maid, and my indenture is in Madam's hands, so wherever you go, I will follow you."

"Okay, then let's pack up and leave tomorrow." Meng Kexin was very touched. With them accompanying her, the journey would be much safer.

When Meng Kexin decided to go to the border alone, she didn't want to force anyone for any reason.

Although Aunt Liu and Cui'er are trustworthy people, she is not the original owner after all, and there is no reason for them to pay too much for her.

After all, a forced melon is not sweet!

Now that the two had made their choice, they were one, so Meng Kexin asked, "Aunt Liu, you said my mother asked you to look after me. Did they leave anything for me?"

Aunt Liu looked at her young lady in shock. Her intelligence was no less than that of the lady, so she smiled and said, "Miss, you guessed right. The general and his wife really did leave a token of love for you."

As he spoke, he pulled out something resembling a token from his bosom and handed it to Meng Kexin. "This is a token proving your general's status. When Madam left, she gave it to me, saying that if you encounter a life-or-death situation, you can take this token to the camp outside the capital for help."

Meng Kexin took the token and examined it carefully. The token was engraved with exquisite patterns, revealing a sense of majesty.

"The camp outside the capital? Did father ever tell us who we were looking for in the camp outside the capital?"

"The general once told me that General Chen in the camp outside the capital is his confidant." Aunt Liu said truthfully.

Meng Kexin nodded and said, "I'll keep this token for now. Once we leave the General's Mansion, if anything goes wrong, this will save my life!"

Aunt Liu and Cui'er nodded, "Miss, are we really going to leave here and look for the general and his wife?"
