“Why?”“Mom, don’t worry. Nancheng prefecture is close to Shunyang prefecture. I will be back ten days later.”“But I will worry about you.”“There is no need to worry. I will go along the official road and I have bodyguards. I’ll be safe.”Zhao worried about Muge, but she saw Muge was determined and she was concerned about Zhang, so she said yes finally. “You are away from home. Promise me to be very careful.”“Mom, take it easy. I’ll be OK.”Before she left, Muge enjoined Yueru on many things.“The eldest Miss, I’ll remember.”Su Lun was told that Muge would go to Nancheng prefecture. It’s rare that he kindly arranged a carriage, three bodyguards and one driver for Muge.“You are a young lady. Why don’t you bring some maids when you go out?” Su Lun noticed that there was no one around Su Muge and frowned.She was his daughter who was born

“What did you say?” The man squinted at her frighteningly.Su Muge rubbed herself between her eyebrows and wore her outer clothing. She had a fever and felt cold so she made the fire hotter.“You are wounded on the waist. If you don’t take off your clothes, I can’t deal with it.”Hearing that, the man stared at her and observed her carefully.She covered one of her eyes with a handkerchief. She looked to be only fourteen or fifteen years old, but she was audacious and calm when facing him.He pulled his clothes off. Muge caught sight of his muscle on the chest.She hated to admit it, but he was really in good shape, and there is literally no flab on her body at all.“Stop staring at me.” His voice was still ice-cold.Su Muge got closer to him and stared at his body more carefully. “If I don’t observe carefully, how can I know where the wound is?”She squatted down to

“There is an assassin. Catch him!” The soldiers rushed to the man in black from the front yard.The man in black saw so many soldiers coming to him, and he was about to grab Su Muge. Su Muge tended to avoid him, but it was too late to escape. She was finally caught by the man in black and controlled before his chest, and the sharp point of his sword was against her neck.“Don’t push me, or I’ll kill her!”Su Muge closed her eyes and took a deep breath. She told herself to be calm!The soldiers hesitated for a while when seeing Su Muge was caught, but instantly they relaxed.For them, saving a common person was less important than catching an assassin aiming at the princess!“Catch him, and he must be alive!”Bastards!Su Muge didn’t expect them to save her, but she was still angry when hearing that. She bit the man on the hand when he didn’t pay attention to her. “Ah

“Oh, she was still alive.” The Taoist priest reached Su Muge’s nose tip and sensed that she was alive.Looking at Su Muge who was comatose, the Taoist priest hesitated and frowned. “It’s not my fault, but you are comatose.” He reached his hand to her waist and got her money, weighing them up.“Lady, earlier death, better life.” Guima put the money away and was about to leave. Suddenly, he was caught by someone.He looked back and saw Su Muge had been awake!“Give it back to me!” Su Muge stared at Guima with her light eyes. Her fingertips whitened due to grasping him tightly.Zhao and her previous body had been bullied by An for many years and Zhao was born in a peasant family, so she didn’t have much own dowry. Even if she had some, she gave Su Lun to let him take the examination in the capital. The twenty-liang silver in the purse was all Zhao’s private savings. Without this money, she would not starve to death. But n

Su Muge looked at the yard and frowned.As the night approached, it’s so dark in the yard, quiet and weird, which was incompatible with the ascending smoke in the surroundings. Su Muge opened the fence gate. There was nothing but three old adobe houses in the yard.An gave Zhao and Muge silver worth three liang a month just for effect. Zhao kept one liang for her use and the rest would be saved secretly. She had been sending at least ten liang to Zhang every year.Su Muge knew that Zhang had three sons and two daughters and they were all married. They had more than ten acres of land. Zhao told Muge that her uncles were not useless. Her third uncle was a farmer, and the other two uncles worked at the town and had monthly income. Moreover, Zhao sent money to them every year. It’s not difficult for them to build several good houses. Puzzled by this, Su Muge pushed the door of the main room and smelled an acrid stink tha
