Marry my elder sister? Fine! I'll give you the letter of annulment and marry someone else.

The old horse knew the way, and it led them forward, and soon they arrived at a safe place.

After changing directions countless times and making sure that Jiang Li would not catch up with them, Liu Ruoyu slowed down her horse.

The horse walked slowly, and Cang Jing still hugged Liu Ruoyu's waist with a happy look on his face.

"Ahem, let go."

Her voice was a little shy, but still calm.

Cang Qiong hugged her tighter, "I won't."

Liu Ruoyu felt somewhat helpless, but she just followed him and did not force him to move away.

"Gulu~"

Without any warning, in the quiet environment, Cang Jing's stomach suddenly made a loud rumbling sound.

Liu Ruoyu turned around and saw Cang Qiong embarrassedly saying, "I haven't had breakfast yet. I'm really a little hungry."

Liu Ruoyu didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She stopped her horse and asked, "Can you let me go now?"

Cang Qiong said with a determined look, "I won't let go."

"How can I find food for you if you don't let me go? I'll go see if there's any wild rabbit or something to bring back."

Cang Qiong's eyes lit up when he heard that. "Okay, okay, then come back soon. I'm afraid of the dark."

Liu Ruoyu twitched the corner of her mouth. Don't think she doesn't know. What kind of darkness is he afraid of?

But she was indeed quick, and came back with two hares not long after she left.

Cang Qiong had already built a fire. Seeing Liu Ruoyu coming back, he volunteered to process the rabbit meat.

After a while, a cleaned rabbit was placed on the fire.

The firelight reflected on the two people, flickering.

Cang Qiong suddenly said, "Don't be afraid. When I came here, my mother told me to do whatever I want, as long as I can bring you back safely."

"She also said that I came from a poor family and wasn't a royal or noble, so I could only work hard to earn enough wealth so that I wouldn't be looked down upon. In fact, my family's wealth is even greater than I imagined. I've made up my mind. When we get back, we'll join forces with Song Zhi to make the Phoenix Kingdom bigger and stronger, surpassing the Li Kingdom, and making that Jiang Li never dare to speak so arrogantly again."

Liu Ruoyu laughed out loud when she saw how serious he was.

As she turned the rabbit, she said softly, "I told you before that I would tell you everything about my past. Why don't you listen to it first and then decide whether to make it big or strong."

The moonlight was dim, and the two of them leaned against the fire.

Amid the crackling of sparks, she told the story.

She told him how she had been the happiest little princess, how she had chosen Jiang Li as her study partner, how her feelings for him had changed during their time together, and how he had publicly said he only treated her as a younger sister...

And, it tells how she was forced on her wedding night with the third place winner.

It tells the story of the flames that filled the sky and the man who ultimately sacrificed himself for her.

If it weren't for her, Tanhualang should have had the best life at the best age, with promotion, a harmonious marriage, and two sons and two daughters.

But the third place winner was buried in that year forever.

Her voice was clear and peaceful. Although every incident was unforgettable, she seemed to be silent as if she was talking about someone else's affairs, and her eyes were like a pool of stagnant water.

After so long, she can now talk about these scars.

The timing seemed wrong, it was too cold at night. After she finished speaking, her fingers were stiff from the cold and she couldn't help shivering all over.

Suddenly, a warm embrace embraced her.

"Sister, you are very good, it is he who does not deserve you."

He spoke softly, as if he was afraid to startle her.

Liu Ruoyu looked up hesitantly and saw Cang Jian patting her shoulder.

"I know I'm not yet capable of you entrusting yourself to me wholeheartedly, but you can always lean on my shoulders. Sister, let's get married when we get back. My mother really wants you to be her daughter-in-law."

Liu Ruoyu was stunned, a little caught off guard, "But I..."

"I do not care."

He chuckled foolishly, revealing two rows of white teeth. "I'm glad you can tell me all this openly, so I also want to tell you openly that I like you, love you, and am willing to take care of you for the rest of my life. I don't care about your past, I just want you to be mine now and in the future."

Liu Ruoyu's heart was moved. "Do you really not mind?"

"Why should I mind?"

Cang Qiong smiled and said, "It's not your intention, it's not your fault."

He repeatedly stressed that it was not your fault, trying to cheer her up.

"If you hadn't been through so much, a fairy like you would have been living with your husband long ago. Then I wouldn't have had any chance at all, and how could I have won the heart of a beautiful woman like I do now?"

He tried his best to use jokes to make her stop suffering from her past experiences. He took Liu Ruoyu's sleeve and shook it, "Let's get married, okay?"

The young master's eyes sparkled as he looked at her expectantly.

Liu Ruoyu could never stand his actions, so she quickly looked away and picked up the rabbit beside her, saying, "We'll talk about it later. The rabbit is almost ready, let's eat first."

Cang Qiong sighed and shook his head in mock sadness, "Ah, I knew it was my sister who looked down on me. It turns out I'm not worthy."

Liu Ruoyu slapped him and said, "Don't do this to death."

Cang Qiong had a sad face, "Then will you promise me?"

Liu Ruoyu handed the roasted rabbit, which was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, to Cang Qiong and said sternly, "Wait a little longer."

At least she had to wait until Jiang Li was dealt with, otherwise she didn't know what crazy actions Jiang Li would take to deal with Cang Jian.

Cang Qiong obviously knew that she was worried about this, so he said, "Why don't we go back and ask Song Zhi for her advice? She's sure to come up with a good solution. At worst, we can just stay in Lecheng and not leave. I'll see what Jiang Li can do to us."

Liu Ruoyu was a little surprised, "You are so convinced of Zhi'er now?"

Cang Qiong scratched his head sheepishly and said, "She is indeed very powerful."

There is no better way at the moment, so I plan to discuss this matter after returning to Phoenix Country.

They shared the two rabbits and then huddled together for the night.

The next day, they woke up at dawn and prepared to set off.

Although Jiang Li has been gotten rid of now, it is still not safe enough. I can only feel at ease after returning to Huang Country.

So they mounted their horses again and headed south.

What they didn't know was that Jiang Li had tried to catch up with them several times, but was blocked by Mu Nanqi every time.

Yes, Mu Nanqi finally arrived in Wei State and successfully reunited with his secret guards.

He did not look for Cang Jian and the other two, but just quietly stayed behind to cover their retreat.

Every time he succeeded in cutting off the rear, he would make a note of it in his mind.

These favors must be repaid in the future.

Jiang Li's eyes were darkened by the interruption, and he said stiffly: "Mu Nanqi, as long as you are willing, Li Kingdom can help you kick out your sixth brother and support you to become the Emperor of Tianqi, provided that you don't stand in my way now."

Mu Nanqi said coldly: "Does the Li Kingdom really think that it can interfere with the throne of another country's monarch because of its all-powerful hands and eyes?"

Even if it was possible before, it was because the old emperor was blind and Mu Yuan was stupid.

Now that Azhi is in power, is it Li Kingdom's turn to intervene?!
