“Be prepared? What do you mean...”

“Take it easy, Miss Ruan. I heard that you are the orphan of General Ruan, so do you have any relatives?” Mu Rong interrupted her directly.

Ruan Jiujiu paused, because she needed to think about it for a while, “My parents have passed, and there is no one left except a cousin, who is a foe to me.”

Recalling what Ruan Qingqing had done to her, she gnashed her teeth.

“Do you look like you mother, Miss Ruan?” Mu Rong added, and stared at her with great interest.

She darted a fierce look at him. He looked like trying to find something from her, as if there were something secret on her face.

Mother? The General’s wife? She didn’t have any memory for that, nor the original owner of the former infanta’s body,

She looked at him with the eyes of a skeptic, “Why you ask this?”

Mu Rong smiled and replied, “Just ask.”

Just ask?

Somehow, Rang Jiujiu sensed that something was weird. First was the Mu Rong’s unexpected visit today, then was his inexplicable warning, and now he even talked about her looks suddenly.

This gentle and kind man in front of her was very suspicious.

“Well, it’s a bit late, and I need to go back to pack for the journey tomorrow. I have to be off now.”He suddenly seemed to be hiding from something, stood up and left, but turned back after two steps, “Be prepared, Miss Ruan.”

He seemed to be seeing a ghost and “running away”, left her with a baffling face. What did you mean?

But the next day, Ruan Jiujiu became thankful for Mu Rong’s warning yesterday, because it reminded her of taking three meat buns as breakfast in her inner pocket.

Beiming Xuan set off for the capital, but he even left her going with the ranks from the morning to the noon without any rest, which made her hungry and exhausted.

You ruthless jerk!

Ruan Jiujiu muttered, with her mouth full of the meat buns.

She was looking around. In fact, it was very easy for her to escape, because she had felt out the guards around her, and she could easily defeat them.

So here was the question: escape or not?

She checked her pocket, and sadly found out that she was penniless.

If she decided to run away, the first problem she needed to solve was her stomach. She became confused after recalling the taste of those delicious meat buns she ate just now.

“MissRuan! Miss Ruan!”

All of a sudden, a familiar yelling burst out, she looked up, and then her face turned black.

It was Zou Meng, who was riding toward her on a big horse.

Even he had a horse to ride. How poor she was!

“My Little Meng, are you my Prince Charming?”

Seeing her eyes fixed on him with enthusiasm, Zou Meng gave a violent shudder, and took a step back before he said, “Well, Miss Ruan, it’s my lord who want you.”

Beiming Xuan?

When she climbed into Beiming Xuan’s seat, a seemingly big low-key coach but very comfortable inside, she was grateful for not running away.

Otherwise she could never have chance to enjoy such a comfortable coach.

Thinking of her miserable experience that she had exposed under the sun while Beiming Xuan was drinking tea on this comfortable coach, she clenched her teeth in anger.

Fine, since she was here, she would try her best to enjoy and relax.

She came forward, poured a cup of tea for herself, then grasped the snacks on the table and ate them like a real master.
