You confiscated my property, I exiled you, why are you crying when the treasury is empty?

Su Wanning didn't have the energy to cook anymore, so Song Ying and Zhan Yiran made lunch.

After the meal, Zhan Beiwang came over with a bowl of pig's trotter soup.

Su Wanning narrowed her eyes and looked at Zhan Beiwang, "You didn't buy this pig's trotter, did you?"

Zhan Beiwang placed the bowl in Su Wanning's hand and said, "Like cures like. You've worked so hard, so you need to take good care of yourself."

Su Wanning pointed to her legs and said, "But it's my legs that are tired."

“More or less.”

In the end, Su Wanning ate everything, not for any other reason, but simply because she was very hungry after walking for half a day.

I had just gotten into the carriage and fallen asleep for a while when I heard the sound of horse hooves on the road.

I hadn't paid much attention to it at first, but then I didn't hear the sound of horse hooves fading away.

She half sat up and looked out the window, forgetting that she was sitting on the side.

Bai Ye was not in the carriage either. He was stunned for a while, then got off the carriage and saw a luxurious carriage parked in the middle of the exile team, followed by six guards on horseback.

Su Wanning got off the carriage and saw Bai Ye leaning against the carriage with a sword in his arms. His eyes were dull and it was unknown what he was thinking.

"Who are these people?"

Bai Ye came back to his senses, "A member of the royal family."

"A member of the royal family? Why would he be here?" Su Wanning thought of her previous speculation. "Could he be here to provide disaster relief? He didn't bring anything with him, so that shouldn't be the case."

"I'm probably just here to do some business. As for why, I'm not sure." After a pause, Bai Ye continued, "I have something to do in a few days, so I might be away for a few days."

"So sudden?" Su Wanning asked in surprise.

Bai Ye responded softly, "Just received the message."

Su Wanning thought of the carriage they had made, "Then I will put away all the things in the carriage."

"No need. When we get to the next town, Bai Su and I will buy two more horses and leave."

"Bai Su is leaving too?"

"Well, something happened at home and I need to go take care of it."

Su Wanning nodded. There was no need for her to ask about the incident. "Okay, that person will wait for you in Lingnan."

Bai Ye looked at Su Wanning and smiled at him, feeling a little reluctant, and then turned his eyes away.

Su Wanning didn't care and looked at the carriage again. The carriage had stopped by the side and two people got out of it.

One of them was Liu Yan'er from before. How could she be involved with someone from the royal family?

Just as he was thinking about it, the two men walked towards Su Wanning. The man was wearing a gorgeous robe, with gentle eyes and a folding fan in his hand.

"Brother Yu, this is Sister Wan Ning whom I told you about. She is also my cousin's wife." Liu Yan'er leaned half of her body on Li Jingyu.

Li Jingyu looked at Su Wanning with interest in his peach blossom eyes, and raised the folding fan in his hand towards Su Wanning's chin.

Bai Ye took a step forward and stood in front of Su Wanning. Li Jingyu looked at Bai Ye coldly, then chuckled, "Once a person has a weak spot, he won't live long."

He took back the folding fan in his hand, turned around, lifted Liu Yan'er's chin, and kissed her directly.

Within a few breaths, Liu Yan'er's face flushed, "Brother Ayu, so many people are watching us."

Li Jingyu laughed heartily and walked back with Liu Yan'er in his arms. "One wrong move in chess can lead to a complete loss. Once something changes, the outcome is unpredictable. Yan'er, do you think this statement is right or wrong?"

"Of course, whatever Brother Yu says is right."

"Yan'er really knows how to please this king, but this king doesn't like any changes."

The two figures gradually disappeared into the distance. Su Wanning looked at Bai Ye's unhappy expression and asked, "Are you okay?"

Bai also shook his head, "It's okay."

Su Wanning recalled the characters in the book. There was only one royal family member with the word "Yu" in his name, the seventh prince, who was born to a concubine. However, there were only a few sentences describing him in the book, and they were all derogatory words.

"Does the prince know you?"

Bai Ye nodded, his thoughts drifting away. "He was the seventh prince of the imperial family. I happened to run into him when I went to his mansion to steal property. Because of him, I spent half a month in a cell."

Su Wanning always felt that the facts were not as simple as they seemed. She felt that she was always close to the truth, but seemed to have overlooked something.

Looking in the direction of Li Jingyu's carriage, Su Wanning saw Zhan Beiwang, who had just returned from the toilet. She took out some water and asked him to wash his hands. "Do you know anything about the Seventh Prince?"

Zhan Beiwang looked in the direction of the carriage. He had also heard the sound of horse hooves just now, but he didn't expect it to be Li Jingyu.

"My understanding is rather partial. Rumors spread throughout the capital that he was frequenting brothels and neglecting his duties. However, since he was not in the capital for many years, I don't know the true situation either."

Then he added, "I will follow the carriage to protect you during this time."

Su Wanning did not refute. After all, she really had no skills to save her life now. If she met someone who knew a little martial arts, her life would be in danger.

The carriage did not move throughout the afternoon. Bai Ye and Bai Su did leave for a while, but when they came back they were covered in blood.

Su Wanning looked at the two of them and asked worriedly, "Why did you leave for just a while? What are you doing?"

Bai Ye looked down at the blood on his body and said, "I just went to the mountain and eliminated that group of bandits. They already know that the people nearby have bought a lot of food. I'm afraid they will come down the mountain to steal it. Just in case, I want to eliminate the trouble in advance."

Su Wanning nodded. She had also thought of this, but before she could say it, Bai Ye unexpectedly solved the problem first. "Change your clothes and wash up first."

Bai Ye nodded and got on the carriage, while Su Wanning took advantage of this time to train intensively behind the carriage.

The next morning, when Su Wanning woke up, she saw Bai Ye packing her things in the carriage.

"What are you doing packing up so early?"

Bai Ye looked at Su Wanning with an apologetic look on his face, "There's an urgent letter from home, asking us to go back as soon as possible."

Su Wanning was still confused because she had just woken up early in the morning, but she still reached out and put her things into the space.

"In that case, you can take this carriage back. It will take quite a while for you to walk.

We just need the oxcart behind us, since we will be in Lingnan soon anyway."

Bai didn't refute, but he still reminded Su Wanning, "Be careful, and always keep the jade pendant I gave you around your waist."

Su Wanning reached out and patted the jade on her waist, "Don't worry, it's always hanging there."

Thinking of the birthday gift he had prepared for Bai Su, he took it out from the space and handed it to Bai Ye, "Remember to give these to Bai Su."

Bai Ye took it, put some clothes on it and put it under the seat in the carriage.

After Su Wanning packed up her things, she moved them to the ox cart at the back.

Before he even had time to eat breakfast, the carriage sped off in the direction behind him.

Zhan Lingfeng stood there, looking at the back of the carriage, and murmured, "My brother and I have an appointment to go to the mountains to dig out bird nests together."
