The eldest lady looked at Ruan Xianzao with tears in her eyes. When she came to seek refuge, she was also so weak and pitiful, which made people feel pity for her.

The person was still the same person in front of him, but the eldest lady's mood was turned upside down.

She pinched the medicine box, her knuckles turned white: "Xian Zao, this is trauma medicine, here it is for you."

"Thank you, aunt..."

"You don't need to thank me, this is from Ruyu," the eldest lady took a deep breath, "Xianzao, in fact, you could have avoided this disaster, but God's will has made you unable to escape."

“Whether it’s God’s will or man-made, the matter has come to this point, so we can only talk about the present.

Ruyu is my daughter-in-law and Changhe's legitimate wife. This will not change whether he is a prince or not.

Xian Zao, speaking of which, I also have a responsibility. When you came here with your mother's handkerchief, I saw that you were a pitiful and helpless orphan, so I agreed to let you enter the mansion and let people in and outside the mansion regard you as their own. Miss, now that I think about it, I was really wrong. "

"Auntie, I..."

Ruan Xianzao was a little panicked. The eldest lady's unhurried tone did not reveal any anger, but showed determination and unshakability.

This situation has never happened before.

"Listen to me first," the eldest lady waved her hand, "I should have found you a good home, or bought you a yard to put you in.

Rather than living under the same roof, which makes you have thoughts that you shouldn't have, Changhe's heart is not with you. You are so smart, you should be able to see it.

Xian Zao, what happened today, whether you were looking for Huo Changxing or Huo Changxing was looking for you, is as dangerous as jade, this is a fact.

Since you have this idea, then I can't tolerate you. I just said, anyone who wants to harm Ruyu can't get along with me. "

"Aunt, I'm not..." Ruan Xianzao burst into tears and shook his head repeatedly.

"Yes or no, it doesn't matter anymore," the eldest lady lowered her eyes, "We are still walking the same path, but we are no longer the same person.

Xian Zao, if you still think about my kindness towards you in the past, please stop talking to Xu'er. "

Ruan Xianzao took a step back and looked at her in disbelief: "Aunt, I'm covered in scars, are you going to force me too?"

The eldest lady was silent, and Ruan Xianzao smiled sadly: "Well, even you can't tolerate me, so what's the point of living for me? I'm going to die right now."

After she said that, she ran towards the tree and crashed into it.

Yan Ruyu watched from the window and sneered. At such a close distance and running so slowly, who could he hit and kill?

Although the eldest lady was frightened, she knew that she could not be killed at all, so she stood still.

Huo Changxu, who was not far away, was shocked and ran over to grab him.

Ruan Xianzao secretly breathed a sigh of relief and cried into his arms: "Second cousin, please leave me alone. In the future... don't talk to me again."

Huo Changxu turned to look at the eldest lady: "Mother, Xianzao has already suffered a big crime today. It's pitiful that she, a girl, has been humiliated like this. Why bother forcing her? Mother!"

The eldest lady almost laughed angrily: "I forced her? Which of your eyes saw me forcing her?

Xu'er, she and Huo Changxing are as dangerous as jade. Did I force her to do this? "

"Mother, how could Xian Zao do this? It's clearly Huo Changxing's deception..."

"What about Liu'er? Liu'er's death was said by Su'er herself. Just because she smiled at your elder brother, should she be drowned alive?" The eldest lady's suppressed anger burst out, "Xu'er, if you If you insist on defending her again, then go with her!"

"Mother," Huo Changxu was surprised, "Su'er is a maid, how can you take her words seriously under such circumstances?

Did Yan Ruyu ask you to do this? She has only been with us for a few days, and you trust her so much?

Xianzao has lived with us for so many years, isn't it better than just these few days? "

"This has nothing to do with the length of time," the eldest lady shook her head, "Xu'er, you are confused, I cannot be confused.

It's useless to say anything now. I'm just telling you, you will definitely regret it.

Our family has raised fairy algae for many years, and I can be considered worthy of her dead mother, so be it. "

The eldest lady turned around and left. Huo Changxu's heart was beating wildly. He never expected that the eldest lady would be so decisive.

He subconsciously wanted to follow, but Ruan Xianzao grabbed his sleeve with his hand and said pitifully: "Second cousin..."

The eldest lady paused in her footsteps and sighed silently before her son could catch up.

Yan Ruyu saw it so clearly that she almost laughed in anger.

Another reason why Ruan Xianzao was not killed was because Huo Changxu wanted him to see with his own eyes who Ruan Xianzao was.

Unexpectedly, this could not wake him up.

The eldest lady came in and saw Yan Ruyu at the window. She knew she had seen everything and smiled awkwardly at her.

Not long after, the second lady and the second master came back in despair. When they returned to the temple, they cried bitterly again.

Yan Ruyu frowned, she couldn't sleep well tonight.

She leaned against the window and looked in Yan Song's direction.

Yan Song did not enter the temple, but set up a tent outside. The fire was not out yet, and the reflection was clear.

Su'er was called in by him and didn't know what she was doing.

As she expected, the people in the second room would not let Ruan Xianzao go. Early the next morning, while Yan Ruyu was boiling water, she saw the second wife pinching Ruan Xianzao several times.

If Huo Changxu hadn't blocked him, Ruan Xianzao would have been beaten again.

Breakfast was still steamed buns with mixed noodles. When Yan Song came out of the tent, Su'er followed him with her head lowered to wait on him.

Everyone exchanged glances quickly.

Yan Ruyu remained calm, and the eldest lady whispered: "It's so... so shameless. I really regret accepting them as master and servant."

"Yan Song wants to slap Ruan Xianzao in the face with Su'er," Yan Ruyu handed her a bowl of cooked porridge, "Ruan Xianzao is not embarrassed, it's none of our business."

The eldest lady then thought about it and she was right, and her anger became much smoother.

The journey was not fast on this day. Yan Ruyu originally thought that Yan Song was aggrieved last night and would take the opportunity to vent his anger and torture everyone today.

But surprisingly, Yan Song, besides looking unhappy, did not rush the schedule as before. Instead, he took two more breaks than usual.

Yan Ruyu was wary, looked back at the silver ingot carrying the small pot, and asked, "Are you familiar with this road?"

"Of course," Yin Ding nodded, "We have often taken this road before. What do you want to ask?"

"Where is the front?"

Yin Ding said without thinking: "Six or seven hours ahead, there is a small mountain col. After passing the small mountain col, there is Shuangfeng Mountain. If I guess correctly, I will stay at the small mountain col tonight."

Yan Ruyu looked at the looming hilltop in front of her, feeling inexplicably that something might happen here.

Yan Song is not in a hurry to leave. Could it be related to this mountain?

what's on the mountain

As soon as this idea came up, Yin Ding saw that she was silent and continued: "This mountain is amazing. We will arrive at the col in a while. I will go find something to eat. You are not familiar with this place. If you go the wrong way and encounter bandits, , that would be bad.”

Yan Ruyu's eyebrows twitched slightly: "Bandits?"

"Exactly, this hilltop has been suffering from banditry for a while, but it hasn't caused much trouble, and the imperial court has not sent troops to suppress the bandits. Originally, the prince planned to bring some peace to the village when he came back, but who knew..."

He pursed his lips and paused, but Yan Ruyu was thinking: if there are bandits, there must be treasures and food.

It seems that there is work to do again tonight.
