The woman pursed her lips, lowered her head and said nothing. Her face was wrapped in bandages and Yan Ruyu had no idea what her expression was.

Helping her out of the yard, Yan Ruyu asked, "What's your name?"

The woman said, "My last name is Song, I don't have a given name."

Yan Ruyu was puzzled: "Why is there no name?"

"My mother gave birth to seven sisters and we were named in order: the eldest, the second, and I am the seventh. But my mother died of complications during childbirth, so my father did not allow me to be called the seventh, saying that I was not worthy."

"Didn't you just say that your father and brother..."

Ms. Song smiled and said, "He is my cousin. My mother didn't give birth to a son, so my father married another woman. After two years, she showed no signs of pregnancy, so he drove her away. He had no choice but to discuss with my second uncle and let my cousin be considered his son. All the future property will belong to my cousin."

Yan Ruyu was shocked and dumbfounded, not knowing what to say for a moment.

"Everyone calls me Songnv, a woman with the surname Song. You can call me that too."

Before Yan Ruyu could say anything, Huo Changhe changed his clothes, removed his eye patch and the scars on his face, and hurried over.

"Ma'am, are you okay?"

Yan Ruyu shook her head: "It's okay, the robber ran away. I was a little embarrassed, but I wasn't hurt."

"Oh, by the way, husband, look, this is a girl I saved. I never thought that there would be such a hellish place near the temple. This girl was imprisoned there. It's really..."

Yan Ruyu couldn't bear to say any more.

Leng Xinghe looked at Ms. Song: "What is Madam's plan?"

"I want to send her to get her leg treated. Her leg is injured." Yan Ruyu sighed, "How pitiful."

"No, that's not necessary," Ms. Song waved her hand, "My leg is fine. I'm already very grateful that you saved me."

"How can that be possible? You can't even walk, and you're still saying it's okay?"

Ms. Song was silent for a moment and whispered, "Actually, I don't have money for medical treatment, and I don't want to waste money."

Yan Ruyu said: "So that's how it is, I..."

"I don't want to owe anyone anything," Ms. Song pursed her lips tightly, "Let's just say goodbye."

She dragged her injured leg and tried to leave. How could Yan Ruyu let her go alone? She quickly said, "Okay, okay, I'll listen to you and take you back."

The carriage was ready. Yan Ruyu helped Ms. Song get on the carriage, and Huo Changhe followed beside her.

Ms. Song lowered her head and remained silent except for telling the approximate location before getting on the bus.

Yan Ruyu wanted to talk to her several times, but when she saw her like this, she held back.

After walking about a few miles, I saw a few houses, scattered around.

Ms. Song looked outside and said, "Please stop at the second intersection ahead. My house is in the alley and the carriage can't enter."

Yan Ruyu did as she was told, the carriage stopped, and she helped Ms. Song get off.

"Do you want me to go in with you? Or should you call your family out first? Have them come pick you up?"

"No need, I can go in by myself," Ms. Song said in a low voice, "and no one came to pick me up. They must think I'm troublesome."

Yan Ruyu didn't know what to say after hearing this.

Ms. Song continued, "Thank you for sending me back, but I don't have a thank you gift, and my family... can't invite you to sit down, I'm really sorry."

Yan Ruyu said: "It's okay, it's just a small matter, take a rest quickly, healing your leg is the big deal."

Ms. Song nodded, stopped talking, turned and walked into the alley.

There are two households in the alley, one is at the front and the other is on the right.

Yan Ruyu watched her enter the house on the right, and she looked over here when she opened the door and nodded.

Yan Ruyu smiled and waved, watching her enter the yard.

The moment Ms. Song went in and closed the door, Yan Ruyu's smile faded slightly.

Huo Changhe asked in a low voice: "Did you see anything? Do you want someone to keep an eye on it?"

"Well, but be careful not to alert the enemy," Yan Ruyu signaled with her eyes, and the two got on the carriage together.

The carriage turned around and went back. Yan Ruyu looked at the village from the window: "What village is this? Does the prince know?"

"I don't know," Huo Changhe shook his head. "In a small village like this, there are only a few households. Some people moved here on their own, and some are just close friends who get together to take care of each other. In cases like these, these villages will not be marked on the map."

Yan Ruyu's eyes turned cold: "At first I really didn't doubt her. Your Majesty doesn't know how miserable she was when I first saw her."

"You saw the clothes he was wearing. He was lying in the haystack with his head and face the same. It really scared me."

"Where did you start to suspect her?" Huo Changhe asked.

"She said her legs were injured. Someone beat her legs and disfigured her face while she was imprisoned there."

After hearing that her leg was injured, Yan Ruyu switched her state and checked her injuries out of concern.

Upon closer inspection, I found that her legs were not injured at all, not to mention bones, not even a muscle strain.

Why did she lie?

Looking at her face again, the skin was indeed damaged under the bandage.

The wound on his face is real.

Yan Ruyu couldn't guess the purpose of her lie, so while helping her, she quickly took her pulse.

The pulse is normal, there is no illness.

If he was really seriously injured, his pulse shouldn't be like this.

There's something weird about this woman.

As for what she said about her mother dying early, her father wanting a son, and adopting her cousin as her son, Yan Ruyu showed just the right amount of surprise, but she didn't believe it at all in her heart.

If a woman with many suspicious characters comes to this place, then this place may not be clean.

Yan Ruyu told Huo Changhe about her doubts and analysis.

Huo Changhe thought seriously and said, "Could it be that Mr. Mo was responsible for her face?"

"Mr. Mo has a vicious heart and his actions are hard to predict, but what is certain is that he always enjoys abusing others. Will he..."

"Because he was brutally murdered, he was afraid and didn't dare to tell the truth, but at the same time..." Huo Changhe thought for a moment, "He was PUA, so his behavior became strange."

Yan Ruyu was slightly surprised and asked curiously, "Your Majesty also knows about PUA?"

"Of course, this is what the abbot said before. Since he always mentions silver ingots, I naturally learned it."

Yan Ruyu cleared her throat and held back her laughter: "Her situation is not called PUA, it should be a disease. For example, she was originally a victim, but over the years, she unknowingly fell in love with the person who kidnapped her and bullied her."

Huo Changhe opened his eyes slightly, indicating that he couldn't understand.

"If her face was really injured by Mr. Mo, then her situation is really similar."

"Let someone look for him first, and keep an eye on his family as well."

"Nothing else was found in that small courtyard," Huo Changhe said. "Looking at the layout of the house, it looks like a woman is living there, not a man."

"Although the things here are not crude, they are simple enough and do not fit Mr. Mo's style."
