Liu Hao wept in prison.

After losing his children, Liu's father suddenly turned white-haired.

He brought Liu Yao's accumulated account books and logs to visit her in prison, and upon seeing her, he slapped Liu Hao across the face, filled with remorse.

"It's my fault for spoiling you so much, you scoundrel, and ruining Yao'er."

“You are unambitious, have no achievements, and still go out and fool around. Now you are suffering this pain. Even if I give away all my wealth, I still can’t save you.”

“The casino came to collect their money, forcing me to mortgage my ancestral home to them. My life's work was destroyed in an instant! I am truly a sinner.”

He staggered out of the prison gate, his aged body swaying.

Liu Hao stared blankly at the ledger; the dense handwriting was enough to show the care and hard work of the person who kept the books.

The logbook is filled with words of concern without any reservations.

He vaguely recalled how his elder sister's tolerance, which he had misunderstood as hypocrisy, reminded him that he had been blinded by jealousy and malice.

Only after experiencing the pain firsthand did he realize the suffering his elder sister had endured.

"Ah! Ah! Ah! I don't believe it! You wicked woman! You must be trying to deceive me! You deliberately left these fake things behind, you must be!"

Liu Hao clutched his head and wailed, his face contorted with madness; he had gone insane.

Upon learning of the Liu family's plight, the neighbors discussed the matter extensively, all feeling sorry for the original owner and cursing Liu Hao.

No one will sympathize with such a beast that is hated by both humans and dogs.

The fleeing prostitutes suddenly relented, and someone struck up a conversation with them. During the conversation, they mentioned that a very important person had once appeared in the brothel.

Although they couldn't see his face clearly, they noticed that the madam treated him with great respect, addressing him as "Your Highness" in conversation. It was this very person who had given the order to drive them away.

Some people speculated that it might be the missing princess.

Neighbors also spread the word that they saw a young woman leave alone during a fire at a brothel, heading in what seemed to be Huixian Town.

But the girls in the building had been driven away the night before. Could this woman, all alone, be the important person they were talking about?

The county magistrate dared not investigate the matter further and thus suppressed the case.

Amidst turbulent undercurrents in the court, several groups of people headed towards Huixian Town to attack.

At this moment, Tu Longjian was unaware that by impersonating the princess, he was about to become her scapegoat.

After the brothel burned down, Tu Longjian had no intention of returning to his original home.

He has obtained a cheat code that allows him to see into other people's fortunes, but he doesn't know how to use it or what its mysteries are.

Anyway, she could guess the fate of the Liu family. She guessed they would think that Liu Yao was dead or had been defiled and escaped.

Before Liu Hao fled, his luck had turned ashen, indicating that he had no future to speak of.

Such was the tragic fate of women in ancient times.

A respectable woman falls into prostitution, and even if she had traveled back in time to stop it before she was murdered, she could not escape the gossip of the world.

Therefore, the original owner's grudges have been settled. As for money and property, the original owner is gone, so what use are they?

If she hadn't met the chosen one, she might have gone back to be a female head of a household in ancient times.

But now that she's encountered something amazing, she's really curious.

Why not follow the chosen one closely and see what kind of world this is, and what opportunities there are to be gained?

After scouting the route, Tu Longjian learned that there was only one road leading to Huixian Town: the Zhenheihong Road.

According to what the chosen one and his beautiful companion said yesterday, they should have set off in the afternoon, but he didn't know if he could make it in time.

What exactly do they mean by "meeting up"?

Who will I meet with? And where will I go?

With the money he had looted from the brothel, Tu Longjian bought a white horse, some dry rations, and clothes, and then hurried off ahead.

Fortunately, she had learned horseback riding in order to make connections with other high-society people.

After a quick familiarization period, one can easily mount a horse, but ancient horseback riding is quite different from modern riding, and it can be uncomfortable to ride.

After a frantic drive, Tu Longjian finally arrived at Zhenheihongdao.

Seeing a few small black dots ahead, she was preparing to dismount and disguise herself.

Suddenly, a sharp whooshing sound rang out as an arrow flew through the air, narrowly missing her face and striking the horse hard.

Startled, the white horse reared up and leaped into the nearby woods, disappearing from sight in mere seconds.

Tu Longjian turned around and hid behind a large tree nearby, watching the fleeing horse with tears in his eyes.

Damn it, the white horse she bought for twenty taels of silver was scared away just like that!

Who on earth would be so cruel as to try and kill her?!

Could it be that she was discovered when she was impersonating a princess?

No, Li Ping and the madam both perished in the fire. Clearly, only the two of them knew that she was impersonating the princess, and she ordered them to keep quiet.

Although she had harmed Liu Hao again, he thought she was his elder sister and didn't know anything else.

As for the other prostitutes he had contact with, Li Ping's driver was the one who handled everything; she herself did not appear.

It seems I wasn't vigilant enough and gave myself away.

Alone in a foreign world, with no memories, no trustworthy subordinates or family, she had to navigate everything on her own. It was incredibly difficult.

Tu Longjian guessed that perhaps the princess's subordinates wanted to punish her for impersonating someone else.

However, the eldest princess herself is missing, so she probably wouldn't have the energy to pay attention to an insignificant person like her.

If someone leaks the news, it is highly likely that the princess's pursuers will mistake her for the princess and chase after her.

This is bad, she doesn't know martial arts.

If he were to step forward and explain to those assassins, probably no one would believe him.

If their orders were to kill without mercy, they would lose their lives.

The sound of horses' hooves thundered, and in no time, Tu Longjian was surrounded by a group of men in black.

The masked man in black, who was in the lead, bowed to the tree where Tu Longjian was hiding, but there was little respect in his gesture.

He said with a sneer, "Your Highness, please leave. Otherwise, I will have no choice but to offend you."

Tu Longjian didn't answer. Instead, she pretended to be clueless and stepped out from behind the tree, asking with a look of fear:

"Is Your Highness the Princess here as well? I got separated from my husband and was on my way to find him. Unfortunately, I ran into you gentlemen, so I will take my leave now."

The masked man in black waved his hand, and the man in black closest to Tu Longjian immediately drew his gleaming sword and placed it against her neck.

The masked man in black sneered and said, "Your Highness, stop pretending and come with us."

Tu Longjian's heart tightened. Damn it, this assassin had never seen a princess before and actually thought she was one.

"My lord, my husband is just ahead. If you don't believe me, please take me forward and I'll ask him. I'm really not a princess. How could a princess be wandering alone?"

Tu Longjian looked bewildered.

"To be honest... I am a former prostitute who has reformed. We, who have wallowed in the mud, would never dare to associate with such a noble person."

"Besides, I've heard that the Princess is highly skilled in martial arts, while I am as weak as a chicken."

Tu Longjian adopted a seductive and coquettish demeanor, giving the masked black-clad leader a fawning smile.
