I made my fortune by livestreaming in ancient times.

The carriage finally quieted down.

Xiao Mingyan had just recovered from the poison and was still weak, so he leaned against the soft pillow and went to sleep.

Zhu Luo wasn't used to riding in a carriage. Although the prince's carriage was of excellent quality, the bumpy ride on the rugged mountain road still made her feel dizzy and disoriented.

She turned on the mirror and checked the sales figures for today's live stream.

Just as Nana said, business was good today. Several new products sold out, and many brands were lining up to sign contracts.

But the thought of the corpses at the cave entrance made Zhu Luo unable to feel happy.

Unexpectedly, a comment from a netizen that resulted in the losing side ending the filming actually came true.

They didn't even leave a single last word.

Zhu Luo had tried to reassure herself many times, but she still couldn't find peace of mind.

Perhaps she was partly responsible for their deaths.

She tapped on another screen and checked the home security camera footage.

It seems my younger brother brought guests to stay at our house.

He's almost twenty, having a girlfriend is perfectly understandable, but the shoes in the foyer...

These look like men's shoes?

Zhu Luo's eyes darkened. She couldn't help but worry again, thinking about how her younger brother had been surrounded by delinquent youths ever since he was deceived.

When I'm feeling uneasy, I tend to think of everything in a pessimistic way.

She waved her hand, letting the mirror play by itself.

Thinking about those things is futile.

The more important thing is the present moment.

She wasn't entirely confident that she could persuade Xiao Mingyan, but judging from his reaction, he didn't seem like he would make things difficult for her.

Or to put it another way, they simply didn't take her seriously.

If he really wanted to kill himself, it would be very easy for him.

But the situation is different for the other person surnamed Xiao.

Zhu Luo had a premonition that no matter how Xiao Jingchi called her "Luo Luo," he wouldn't even blink if he really wanted to take her life.

Thinking about this, she couldn't help but shudder, and the image of the fat man's death flashed through her mind again.

As she shook her head, trying to shake off her worries, she suddenly realized something.

She had considered it before, but many things happened afterward that made her forget about it.

She no longer feels instinctively flustered or dizzy when she is near Xiao Jingchi.

Not only her, but even the mirror didn't react violently, and no longer avoided the mirror.

She waved her hand, and the mirror rose into the air.

"I ask you, why are you no longer afraid of the Crown Prince?"

Mirror suddenly became very excited, flying up and down in the carriage like an impatient child, eager to share something but unable to express himself clearly.

"Then let's get to the point. What happened that suddenly made you stop being afraid of him?"

After spinning a few times, the mirror suddenly flew towards Xiao Mingyan, fluttering merrily above his head.

"You mean it's because of him that we're not afraid of Xiao Jingchi?"

The mirror fanned itself vigorously, as if agreeing with her conclusion.

“But we knew the prince first. According to your logic, we shouldn’t have panicked when we encountered the crown prince. There must be something missing.”

The mirror flew back dejectedly.

"Alright, don't be sad anymore. As long as you're not afraid now, that's fine. If you run away again, I won't be able to keep any evidence."

The mirror rubbed against her face.

"Okay, I know you care about me, and so do I. We're in the same boat. If you care about me, I'll think of you too. By the way, what do you like?"

She actually started to fawn over the mirror.

The mirror didn't mince words either, immediately displaying a picture of Xiao Mingyan's jade pendant.

Zhu Luo chuckled: "Your taste is quite sophisticated. Fine, except for this jade pendant, which I will definitely redeem. As for the others, I'll figure something out and make sure you have a good meal."

She has no interest in jewelry; real gold and silver are more practical. From now on, she'll save up jewelry to feed the mirror, so she won't lose out either way.

The car jolted again, and Xiao Mingyan, who was leaning against the soft headboard, was thrown against the side of the car with a muffled thud.

Her heart skipped a beat; she feared he might have hit his head again.

Cang Xu asked from in front of the carriage, "Miss Shen, I'm sorry, the road is difficult to travel. How is the Prince?"

"It's alright, everything's fine." Zhu Luo was checking Xiao Mingyan's head. Perhaps feeling guilty, after answering, she lifted his head and hugged him back into her arms.

Despite all that commotion, he didn't wake up.

"Okay, thank you very much, Miss Shen."

Zhu Luo was still wondering about the meaning of Cang Xu's words of thanks when the person in her arms rolled over, lying face down on her stomach, and his arms wrapped around her waist.

Startled, she instinctively tried to push him away, but he mumbled incoherently, "Don't move!" and tightened his grip on her arm.

Why can't it move?

Zhu Luo's head was buzzing.

She's the kind of person who feels offended if a guy chases after her for her WeChat, and she's always laughed at by her classmates for being a modern-day old-fashioned.

During the years she dated Ji Yang, the most they ever did was hold hands, and they only kissed once.

In the end, he even laughed at me for not knowing how to open my mouth when kissing.

This is different from when I was giving him medicine, Xiao Mingyan, don't push your luck.

"Your Highness, loosen your grip!"

He called out softly a few times, but still held on tightly and wouldn't let go.

Zhu Luo was stunned. Was he dreaming, mistaking her for someone familiar...?

She dared not think further, or rather, she was afraid of disgusting herself.

All men are just like Ji Yang.

His warm breath warmed her abdomen through her clothes, which made Zhu Luo feel irritated. She tried her best to turn his head outwards.

"Don't go..." Xiao Mingyan's voice became somewhat dazed, "The bamboo dragonfly, you've forgotten it."

Zhu Luo was stunned and stopped all her movements.

She leaned down and looked at him again; his eyes were still closed, and he looked like he was fast asleep.

Suddenly, a strange thought occurred to her. She leaned close to his ear and, deliberately following his ramblings, asked, "Did you do this yourself?"

"Ah."

She opened her mouth in surprise and asked again, "Who...am I?"

"You forgot..."

His answer was the same as before, and then he let out a heavy sigh and refused to answer any further questions.

Zhu Luo was now even less able to rest.

How can I rest now?

She unexpectedly discovered Xiao Mingyan's secret.

And it's probably the most private kind.

Why would someone give away an old bamboo dragonfly? It's a child's toy, and he's such a grown man, yet he still carries it around. It must be something important to him.

Banxia's voice came from outside the carriage: "Sir, where are we going? Aren't we going to Chenjia Town?"

Cang Xu said, "We won't go. The army has already passed Yingzhou. We need to get there before dawn."

Zhu Luo's heart sank.

She still has a lot of unresolved issues.

The biggest fear in doing business is uncertainty, especially at the very beginning of a partnership. What should the boss's wife think of her?

Cang Xu added, "The prince has already ordered people to retrieve your belongings from Chenjia Town, and he has also provided an explanation. There's no need to worry."

Banxia nodded repeatedly: "That's wonderful, thank you, sir."

"Hmm, there's a cape at the back. Pick it up and put it on yourself."

"Huh?" Banxia was stunned.

Cang Xu glanced at her, raised his arm, grabbed the cloak from behind and stuffed it into her arms: "There's still a long way to go, put it on."

Banxia then realized that they were worried she would catch a cold.

"Thank you, sir!" She happily wrapped herself up.

On an early autumn night, after being exposed to the mountain wind for a while, her hands and feet were already icy cold.

This person is actually quite nice.
