He was hacked to death! Reborn and married to the Grand Secretary, his family wept with regret.

Hearing the murmurs from the crowd, Wang's expression turned even more unpleasant.

She, the dignified mistress of the Marquis of Zhongyong's mansion, was now being compared to a widow by these peasants on the street.

For Wang, this immense humiliation was enough to kill her.

"Shut up...you..."

Wang wanted to rebuke them, but the people on the street were not her servants, and none of them paid attention to her expression. Instead, their mockery became even more intense.

Shi blushed and wanted to pull An Wuyang out to block her, but found that An Wuyang had already disappeared from the crowd.

An Wuyang was already in the carriage.

A wise person does not stay near a crumbling wall. The situation outside has already become so chaotic, who knows how things will develop? It's better to get away as soon as possible.

Inside the carriage, Yan Juzhi sat sideways. From An Wuyang's angle, it was impossible to clearly see his expression. However, his usually cold and stern profile now appeared much more relaxed, as if he were smiling, his features refined and vibrant.

As if sensing An Wuyang's gaze, Yan Juzhi turned to look at her, his thin lips pressed together, revealing a faint smile.

An Wuyang felt her heartbeat become inexplicably disordered and lowered her head at the right moment.

The carriage eventually stopped in front of a farmer's house, where Grandpa Chang came out to greet us.

When An Wuyang got off the carriage, he couldn't help but glance at Yan Juzhi a few more times.

He walked back into the house with an air of nonchalance, not even glancing at An Wuyang.

An Wuyang thought to himself, "Yan Juzhi, this living devil, although he is cold-hearted and unpredictable, always manages to accurately predict my thoughts."

No wonder Yan Juzhi in his previous life was the only one who could stand up to Luo Qingfan and his group.

His insight is terrifying.

When Eunuch Chang arrived at the house unharmed, he ordered tea and snacks to be served to him.

Then he reported to Yan Juzhi the information he had gathered in recent days.

It was from his report that An Wuyang gleaned some clues.

It turns out that although the emperor's younger brother was the emperor, he was still constrained at every turn because of the powerful Empress Dowager Luo, and was not happy.

Although Prime Minister Luo has not returned to the capital, he has already secretly made arrangements to prepare for seizing power in the future.

An Wuyang felt a pang of regret, thinking back to her past life, when she disregarded her brother's situation and devoted herself to planning for Li Huai Ren and his son. No matter how difficult things were for her brother, he never let her hopes be dashed.

My feelings of guilt intensified.

No, she had to act quickly and thwart Luo Xiang's scheme ahead of time.

After Eunuch Chang finished his report, An Wuyang proposed to start a business selling medicinal herbs.

Grandpa Chang happily agreed, tears streaming down his face. A hint of relief could be seen in his expression.

However, when he heard An Wuyang suggest taking advantage of the summer to collect a large quantity of *Guanzhong* (a type of medicinal herb) in the north and then go to the Jiangnan region to collect honeysuckle, houttuynia cordata, and other medicinal herbs, Eunuch Chang's expression became quite interesting.

"Let's do as the princess says!"

Yan Juzhi casually gave an instruction, and Eunuch Chang wanted to offer a few more words of advice, but in the end he agreed to do as he was told.

Then, remembering that An Wuyang had been in Ning County recently and needed to cover his daily expenses, he ordered someone to bring him ten taels of silver.

Yan Juzhi quietly watched An Wuyang. His face was cold and his gaze was icy. The moment An Wuyang's eyes met his, it was as if she had encountered a thousand years of frost, making her heart tremble.

An Wuyang looked at the money bag that Eunuch Chang handed her, and felt that the money bag was too hot to handle. She didn't know whether to accept it or not.

"Take it!"

Yan Juzhi turned his head away, his eyes deep and somber.

An Wuyang carefully took the money bag, and subconsciously glanced at Yan Juzhi out of the corner of her eye, only to see that he had already gotten up and left.

After explaining his plans to Eunuch Chang, An Wuyang rode back in Yan Juzhi's carriage.

Inside the carriage, Yan Juzhi still tilted his head and looked out, his eyes languid, as if sharing a carriage with An Wuyang made him feel uncomfortable.

Yan Yan gently pulled An Wuyang's hand.

"elder sister!"

Yan Yan called out sweetly, and saw An Wuyang looking down at her.

She then nestled into An Wuyang's arms: "Sister, let's go to Zuixianglou for dinner!"

"I heard that they have launched a new sweet and glutinous drink called milk tea, which has attracted a lot of people."

When An Wuyang saw Yan Yan's gentle appearance, his expression softened as well.

She couldn't help but gently stroke Yan Yan's little nose, and looking at this exquisitely beautiful little girl, she couldn't resist giving her a kiss on the cheek.

"Great! Yan'er likes to eat, so it's your treat today!"

Yan Yan immediately smiled as brightly as a little sun. She looked at Yan Juzhi with a look of great pride in her eyes.

Yan Juzhi raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at Yan Yan.

The coldness in his eyes was like icy needles, as if he wanted to freeze Yan Yan to death.

Yan Yan carefully got up from An Wuyang's embrace, and Yan Juzhi's terrifying gaze finally softened.

The car soon arrived at Zuixianglou, and the three of them asked for a private room.

While waiting for the food, An Wuyang poured Yan Juzhi a bowl of tea.

"Lord Yan, I am deeply grateful for your tremendous help these past few days!"

Yan Juzhi raised an eyebrow, a smug smile playing on his lips. He held the cup An Wuyang had handed him, his fingers tracing the rim of the cup.
