Liu Jiaojiao choked.

Unexpectedly, Yan Ruyu came to her room and asked her who she was.

I wanted to choke, but somehow, seeing Yan Ruyu's eyes, I didn't dare.

She hummed softly: "I am Liu Jiaojiao, the most popular number one in Suoyin House in Xucheng."

Liu Jiaojiao, a completely different name.

Yan Ruyu asked: "Where are you from?"

"I was sold by my family since I was a child. I don't know where I am from," Liu Jiaojiao bit her lip, "Who are you? Why do you come to ask me these questions?"

"Do you have a brother?" Yan Ruyu asked again.

"No," Liu Jiaojiao said angrily, "I told you that you were sold by your family since you were a child. Where did you get your brother?"

Yan Ruyu took out the portrait and opened it to her.

Liu Jiaojiao was slightly stunned: "Isn't this...me? How come you have my portrait?"

"Is this you? Look carefully."

Liu Jiaojiao stared at it carefully: "It is indeed very similar, but... I feel like something is different."

Yan Ruyu looked around. The room was generally decorated. She was placed here temporarily and was not treated specially.

"Who is the man with you?"

Liu Jiaojiao's attention was still on the painting and she subconsciously replied: "I don't know either..."

She suddenly came back to her senses and said angrily: "Why should I tell you this?"

Yan Ruyu put away the portrait: "If you are smart enough, don't tell anyone that you have seen me."

Liu Jiaojiao raised her chin: "What? Are you afraid? Are you afraid that I will ask someone to arrest you?"

Yan Ruyu said nothing and walked to her bedside.

Liu Jiaojiao shrank back: "What are you going to do? I'm warning you, don't mess around. Boss Zhou is not someone to be trifled with! You..."

Yan Ruyu's hand brushed against her ear.

"How much do you know about Boss Zhou?"

Liu Jiaojiao looked confused and couldn't figure out Yan Ruyu's path at all: "I only know that he has a backer and is very powerful in Xucheng."

Yan Ruyu guessed that she didn't know anything crucial, and it seemed like she wasn't lying.

Turning around and walking out, Liu Jiaojiao was even more confused: "Who are you?"

Yan Ruyu didn't answer, and left the room with Huo Changhe outside.

After leaving the house, Yan Ruyu said: "She said her name is Liu Jiaojiao, she has no relatives, and she was sold since she was a child. It doesn't match what Quandao said."

"I'm not sure if she is Quandao's sister. Although she looks very similar to the one in the portrait, her temperament is completely different."

"Human temperament is a very peculiar thing. Most of it is accumulated over years or even generations. Unlike some habits, which can be deliberately practiced or cultivated."

"I agree with this," Huo Changhe nodded, "There are some exiled prisoners in the northwest. Although they live a poor life, their temperament is still different from that of ordinary poor people."

"However," Yan Ruyu thought, "she does have the smell of powder. As Beibei said, it is not the ordinary cheap powder fragrance, but a very elegant fragrance."

"I have to confirm it again after I go back before I can draw a conclusion."

Huo Changhe nodded: "It's too late today. Let's go back and rest first. We'll talk about it tomorrow."

The two returned to their residence, and as expected, most of them were still awake.

Not to mention the eldest lady, Huo Zhongmao's family, the Yin Ding trio, Ma Liyu and Song Ping who came back first, and even Qiu Boqian didn't leave.

When they saw them coming back, they all came to greet them.

Huo Zhongmao's family knelt down and kowtowed without saying a word.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, thank you, Princess, for saving your life. Our whole family will never forget it!"

"Aunt Fairy, thank you for saving my father! If it weren't for you and Uncle Wangye, Qinxiang would not have a father."

Yan Ruyu picked up Qinxiang, and Huo Changhe helped Huo Zhongmao.

"It doesn't have to be like this. We are all a family, and you are doing things for me. Ordinarily you will be implicated."

Huo Zhongmao waved his hand quickly: "No, I don't dare, it's just my own carelessness."

"You were also frightened. Have your injuries been treated?"

"It's just a skin injury, it's not a problem."

"I know they beat you, asked you for incense, and asked about the situation, but you didn't say anything or give you anything."

"As you should, you should serve the princess as you should."

"I made a note of it. It's getting late. Let's all go and have a rest."

After sending everyone back to the house and seeing off Qiu Boqian, Yan Ruyu turned to look at the Quan Dao.

"Quandao, come with me."

Quandao followed her into the house, and Yan Ruyu said truthfully: "I have met that girl. She said her name is Liu Jiaojiao. She was sold by her family since she was a child and has no brother."

Quandao's face turned pale, and the light of expectation in his eyes suddenly went out.

"She does look very much like her. I showed her the portrait, and she felt like it."

"Quandao, I can help you do another test. If it is yes or no, you can make a conclusion. What I want to remind you is, if it is not, you should not be stubborn anymore. There are many similarities in the world; if it is..."

Yan Ruyu paused slightly: "Then you have to be prepared. Getting to know her won't happen in a day. It's not like she's lying. As for why she forgot you, there must be a reason."

Quandao nodded and gave a big salute: "Okay, I am willing to listen to the princess and ask the princess to help me."

"I can help you, but you have to promise that no matter what the outcome is, you have to listen to me and don't have your own way, and don't get into trouble because of this."

Quandao's eyes turned slightly red and he nodded vigorously: "Yes."

"Give me a piece of hair."

Quandao took a knife to cut off his hair, but Yan Ruyu stopped him: "Just two strands, pull them out from the beginning, not just the ends."

Quanru followed the instructions and pulled out a few hairs to give to Yan Ruyu.

"Okay, you go and have a rest. I will let you know early tomorrow morning."

"Yes."

Yan Ruyu pinched his hair and turned her head to look at the silent Huo Changhe: "What is the prince thinking?"

Huo Changhe finally couldn't hold himself back any longer: "Can we be sure with just these two hairs?"

"Yes, Not Bad."

"When I was in the northwest, I once beheaded a wizard. He deceived people with his witchcraft, saying that he could use hair and nails to perform witchcraft, and that it could also help women bind their husbands' hearts, etc."

Yan Ruyu listened patiently and became increasingly outrageous towards the end: "??"

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I'm not using this to do witchcraft," Yan Ruyu laughed angrily, "I used this method to make sure that Brother Rui was not your son."

Huo Changhe's eyes opened slightly: "Is that so?"

"Well, this is the method, so the prince can believe it, it's very accurate."

Yan Ruyu pointed to the short couch under the window: "So, please trouble me, Your Majesty. I feel wronged here tonight."

Huo Changhe: "..."

Yan Ruyu suppressed her laughter. After washing, she went to bed and lowered the curtains: "Your Majesty, remember to blow out the lamp."

After that, his consciousness entered the space and compared Quandao's hair with Liu Jiaojiao's hair that he had taken before.

To make a comparison, sort out the things collected in the incense shop today.

The gold and silver have been automatically placed in one place, and what is left are some antique calligraphy and paintings. After seeing these, she will sort them out by herself.

There are also some four treasures of the study that are good and can be used by Huo Changxu.

As for the spices collected today, they will be given to Huo Zhongmao tomorrow. Huo Zhongmao failed to buy them today, so this will make up for it.
