Watching An Yun hurriedly leaving, Jiang Xue rarely smiled.

"Why are you so happy?" When Jiang Chen walked in, he saw his sister's smiling face and he started smiling too.

It has been a long time since he saw Xiaoxue smile so sincerely, and he couldn't help but feel emotional.

“Met an interesting friend.”

Jiang Xue turned to her brother and noticed the worry between his brows.

Although he tried his best to hide it, as his sister, how could she not see that he was troubled.

"Brother, what happened? What makes you so worried?"

Is there something wrong with the prince again?

"Sure enough, nothing can be hidden from you." Jiang Chen smiled helplessly. His sister has always been perceptive: "Wang Xiurong resents the prince because of Wang Ruixuan's death, and has been slandering the prince in the emperor's ear recently. At the same time, the Cao family has lost control of the prince and is trying to win over Shangguan Xi, and is teaming up with Wang Xiurong to push Shangguan Xi to the position of crown prince."

"Shangguan Jin should have thought of this day when he designed Cao Zhilan. Cao Yuan is ambitious, and he would rather destroy things that he cannot control. However, it is not easy for them to achieve their goal.

The emperor of Beixi was not stupid. He had allowed Shangguan Jin and Shangguan Xi to check and balance each other for a long time. He would not easily listen to the instigation of his ministers and the harem and replace the crown prince at will.

You know, Shangguan Jin once deposed a crown prince. To depose a crown prince again would have a huge impact on national stability and public opinion. This risk is extremely high. If you are not careful, it will cause civil unrest. Can Beixi afford it?"

Jiang Xue was not worried about the safety of the prince himself, but she knew that the people around the prince might become a thorn in Shangguan Xi's side. Especially Jiang Chen, who might be the first to bear the brunt. Therefore, making good countermeasures was not only for self-protection, but also for counterattack.

Jiang Xue began to plan a countermeasure in her mind.

"Sister, I'm back. Hey, there's a handsome boy here." An Yun walked in briskly, and her eyes lit up when she saw Jiang Chen.

Wow, if such a handsome guy makes his debut, he will definitely become very famous.

"Well, this is..." Jiang Chen felt a little uncomfortable with An Yun's direct gaze. He coughed lightly, trying to hide his embarrassment.

This was the first time he was looked at so directly.

"Oh, this is the interesting friend I mentioned just now." Seeing An Yun staring at Jiang Chen in a daze, Jiang Xue smiled and waved in front of her, which brought her back to her senses.

"Ahaha, sorry, I was too focused on the handsome guy." An Yunhan smiled and scratched his head.

"By the way, beautiful, can you give me my cloak back? I have to get back to work."

She had come into this world inexplicably for half a year and had been looking for a way to go home, but to no avail.

Since she was penniless, she had to use her skills to make some mechanical weapons for sale. Unexpectedly, they were quite popular and she could make a lot of money with just one gun. Recently, she received a large order with an advance payment of 3,000 taels, asking her to make more than 100 guns.

"You've been making pistols for a living?"

Jiang Xue and her brother looked at each other and realized the seriousness of the matter. In Huyin City, it is illegal to privately manufacture weapons, but the girl seemed to be unaware of this.

Those who bought her pistol probably had ulterior motives.

"In fact, I only sold one, and it was enough to support me for half a year. It's the one you have in your hand now." An Yun explained:

"I remember that I sold this pistol to a young man. A few days ago, the young man sent someone to say that his pistol was lost and asked me to make a few more. The quantity was not small and they had to be exactly the same as this one.

Although I have the blueprints, I have already made some improvements to the internal structure of the pistol, so I came to you, hoping to take them back and make a new one based on them."

"Did he leave his name?" Jiang Xue asked knowingly, because she already had the answer in her mind - the one who bought the pistol was Shangguan Xi. But she still wanted to confirm it.

"No." An Yun replied, "The man stayed in the car the whole time, and even the servant paid for him."

Because the other party acted very arrogantly, An Yun remembered it clearly. So she couldn't be considered an eyewitness.

After hearing this, Jiang Xue felt a little regretful.

Shangguan Xi is indeed careful in this regard.

An Yun continued: "So... Sister, can I have my cloak back?"

An Yun was concerned about the valuables. She stretched out her hand and asked carefully. These things were her source of livelihood. If they were lost, she would suffer a great loss.

Jiang Xue suggested: "If you promise me one thing, I will return the cloak to you."

She was studying the working principle of the pistol, and since the maker was right in front of her, she certainly didn't want to let him go easily.

"What's the matter?" An Yun took a step back warily.

She felt that this sister looked no simple person. Was she going to be plotted against?

Oh my God, she is just an ordinary girl who came into this world inexplicably. Can you please not give her such a big challenge?

Others who traveled through time became young ladies or princesses, but she traveled through time as a whole. It wasn't even a soul traveling through time. What kind of thing is this!

If she didn't have this skill, she would have starved to death here long ago.

Seeing An Yun's pitiful appearance, Jiang Xue smiled: "Don't worry, I won't hurt you. I just hope you can stay at home and teach me how to make a pistol."

Jiang Chen interrupted, "Xiaoxue, we don't even know who she is, how can we just let her live in the house?" He was a little worried about his sister's behavior.

An Yun felt a little uncomfortable after hearing this and wondered what this meant.

How does she look like a person of unknown origin?

Although she came from another time and might be an uninvited guest to the people here, she has always been very well-behaved and has never done anything bad!

It was clearly them who confiscated her things, but they still asked her to stay. How come it acted like she was eager to stay here?

"I don't want to live here. I have my own place to live." An Yun made a face at Jiang Chen and turned away angrily.

Jiang Xue saw that her sister was not happy about what her brother said, so she smiled at Jiang Chen and signaled him not to interfere in the matter anymore.

Then she walked towards An Yun and said gently, "I'm sorry, my brother said that to protect me, please forgive his rashness. We haven't asked your name yet."

"My name is An Yun." Jiang Xue's sincere apology made An Yun feel much better.

An Yun was a straightforward person and didn't like others to force her, but she was always willing to accept gentle methods. In addition, the other party was also a girl, so the unpleasantness soon disappeared.

"What's your name?" An Yun looked at the disguise on Jiang Xue's face and sighed in his heart. She was originally a beautiful girl, but unfortunately there was a scar on her eye. He couldn't help but feel a little sympathy for her.

"My name is Si Ruoxi." Jiang Xue replied, "An Yun, where do you live now?"
