Exile? A mad, wicked woman empties the national treasury to escape famine.

The boss...

waiter...

This woman is amazing! She looks so frail and small, yet she managed to pick up a man and carry him upstairs!

He wasn't even red-faced or out of breath.

He was stronger than many men!

Moreover, although the man in her arms had difficulty walking, he had a rosy complexion and was clearly well-cared for. The young couple had a very good relationship.

Xie Moyao's face was as red as a monkey's bottom, and he kept his head down, not daring to raise it.

Ji Yunshu, that woman, is probably doing it on purpose. He could have had Xie Lin hug him, but he insisted on doing it himself.

He was so embarrassed to be carried in a princess carry by a woman in front of everyone.

Ji Yunshu carried Xie Moyao upstairs and went straight to their room, where they ran into Xie Mohuan coming out of another room.

" ah!"

Xie Mohuan gasped and instinctively covered her eyes.

Her third sister-in-law is too amazing. In front of everyone, she actually lifted her third brother up like that.

Ji Yunshu...

She glanced at herself, then at Xie Moyao. The two of them had behaved properly and hadn't done anything out of line. Why was this girl so surprised? Had she never seen people showing affection before?

"What are you standing there for? Hurry up and come open the door for me, and then light the candles too. I'm holding your third brother, so I can't free my hands."

"Oh, I understand."

Xie Mohuan nodded, covered her eyes with one hand, and held onto the wall with the other. She groped along the wall, opened the door, lit the candle, and then quickly turned around and ran out.

Before leaving, he didn't forget to throw out a sentence.

"Um, Third Sister-in-law, please be careful. Third Brother is not feeling well right now, so don't overexert yourself. Once he's healed, you can do whatever you want."

She finally breathed a sigh of relief when she got to her room.

Good heavens! What did she see? Is her third sister-in-law going to favor her third brother?

Their actions were far too ambiguous!

Is she about to have another nephew or niece?!

Before she could even sit down, she quickly turned around and ran out to the old lady's room.

Xie Moyao...

Ji Yunshu...

Both of them were stunned by Xie Mohuan's last words.

Ji Yunshu's lips twitched violently. What did this little girl take her for, a vicious wolf?

With her third brother in such a state, how could she possibly have the heart to be with him?

How desperate must she be to make a move on Xie Moyao? It's unbelievable that little girl could say such a thing.

Xie Moyao's face turned as red as if it were about to bleed, so he simply closed his eyes and pretended not to have heard anything.

Ji Yunshu carried Xie Moyao into the house, lifted the quilt on the bed, gently placed Xie Moyao on the bed, turned around and sat on the stool, put her hands behind her back, took out a water pouch from her space, poured some spiritual spring water for herself, and poured a cup for Xie Moyao as well.

Xie Moyao's head was still hanging down. A glass of water was handed to him. He took it, and his fingertips touched Ji Yunshu's hand. Xie Moyao remembered the way Ji Yunshu had carried him upstairs just now. The blood in his body rushed to his head again. He quickly drank the water in the glass and felt much more awake.

Ji Yunshu didn't notice anything amiss with him. She took the cup from his hand and placed it on the table beside him.

"Well, you should rest first. I'm going out tonight and might not be back until very late, so you don't need to wait for me."

After saying that, she rummaged through her bag and, using her body as cover, took out a set of night clothes from her storage space.

Without trying to hide from Xie Moyao, she took off her outer clothes, put on her night clothes, and then tied her hair up in a neat bun.

Xie Moyao...

Doesn't this person know how to be discreet when changing clothes?

Do you think he's dead?

He's a normal man!

Although I can't move much, there are still some areas that react!

To avoid arousing Ji Yunshu's suspicion, Xie Moyao reached out and pulled the blanket over himself.

"What are you going to do? It's dangerous to go out at night."

There was something strange about Dongyang County, but he couldn't quite put his finger on what was wrong.

If he hadn't been injured, he could have gone with Ji Yunshu and had someone to look after her. Although he knew Ji Yunshu was quite skilled, he couldn't help but worry about her traveling alone.

Ji Yunshu put on a black mask to cover her face, and wrapped her hair with a black cloth, revealing two bright eyes.

"Don't worry, I'll be fine. I told you during the day that I wouldn't be taken advantage of. I'm going out now to get my banknotes back."

"I'm leaving now. Don't worry about me. Get some rest, and before you go to sleep, don't forget to drink the water I gave you."

After saying that, she didn't linger any longer. She opened the window next to her, looked around to make sure no one was there, and then jumped out of the window and disappeared into the night.

By the time Xie Moyao realized what was happening, Ji Yunshu was already gone from the room. He hesitated for a moment, then called out towards the window.

"Xie Mu".

No sooner had he finished speaking than Xie Mu jumped in through the window and stood straight in front of the bed.

"Your Highness."

"Go and follow behind the princess to protect her."

Xie Mu was taken aback. "Your Highness, no, I am your personal bodyguard."

Throughout this journey, he did not feel that the princess needed his protection; on the contrary, he felt that the princess was more capable than him.

He had seen the princess jump out of the window clearly; her movements were clean and swift, far more skillful than his own.

"Just go when I tell you to. Stop talking nonsense. Sherlin is here, that's enough."

Xie Mu gritted his teeth and finally nodded, "Yes, I'll go right away."

The night was very dark; you couldn't see your hand in front of your face.

Following the moonlight, Ji Yunshu found her way to the county government office.

During dinner that evening, she casually managed to get the direction of the county government office from the restaurant owner and the waiter.

Dressed in black, she moved about in the shadows, her movements quite eerie.

There were guards at the main gate of the county government office. She groped her way to the back gatehouse, looked left and right to make sure no one was there, then leaped up the wall and jumped into the courtyard.

Xie Mu had been desperately following behind. After Xie Moyao spoke, he ran all the way to find Ji Yunshu. Just as he reached the corner, he saw Ji Yunshu leap into the county government courtyard.

Xie Mu...

Their princess must have been incredibly bold, going straight to the county government office all by herself, without any fear of being caught.

He quickly tore off a piece of cloth and covered his face, then followed Ji Yunshu to the wall and leaped into the county government office.

This doesn't count as stalking, does it?

woo woo woo...

Your Highness, please don't misunderstand. It was the Prince who sent him to protect her. Don't think he's stalking her.

Ji Yunshu explored the courtyard, glancing at the time in her spatial dimension. It was almost 1 a.m., and everyone should have been asleep long ago.

But when she passed by the backyard, she found that one of the houses there was still brightly lit, and noises could be heard coming from inside from time to time.
