Li Youran peeled off the dusty outer layer of skin and continued to eat heartily, thinking that although she had not converted to Buddhism, she could still do good deeds by not wasting food.

"My little sister is probably too tired. Why don't we take a nap in the guest room here? We can go back after she's rested," Zhao Lanzhi suggested to Li Youran.

After finishing lunch, Li Youran felt extremely sleepy, and her eyes were almost too heavy to keep open.

"I must be exhausted from getting up too early these past few days," Li Youran nodded and said. "The business at the pancake shop is more important. Why don't you all go back first? I'll stay at the temple and sleep for a while before leaving."

"Don't worry so much. Let's discuss it when your second brother arrives," said Madam Li.

Next, Li Youran felt her legs were becoming unresponsive and was helped to the guest room, where she lay down on the bed and fell fast asleep.

Because there were many people on the mountain, there was only one room left. Zhou Yingying suddenly said that she had a terrible headache, so Li Youran went into the room to take a nap.

When Li Youran woke up again, she was bound up and even had a piece of cloth stuffed in her mouth.

She struggled a few times, but found she couldn't break free. She tried to speak, but her mouth was stuffed full, and she could only make muffled sounds.

Li Youran carefully recalled what had happened before. After lying down on the bed, she fell into a deep sleep. But why was she in the carriage?

Even if Zhou Yingying and Wang Xiangyu joined forces, they shouldn't have had such great ability to secretly take a living person away from the temple.

Li Youran was unaware that this last remaining guest room had been deliberately left untouched.

A distinguished person once stayed overnight in this room, and as a precaution, a tunnel was left inside so that they could escape.

After Li Youran fell asleep, Zhou Yingying opened the back window and imitated a few bird calls. Immediately afterwards, two men appeared.

Li Youran thought to himself, "This time I've really been caught off guard. Am I going to die like this?"

No, she finally got a chance to be reborn, she can't just end this world so hastily, she hasn't had enough of it yet!

Li Youran had previously learned various ways of tying ropes, and knew that the method of tying herself was called the "bull's nose knot." The more she struggled, the tighter the knot would become, and she had to slowly untie it.

Suddenly, a man lifted the curtain of the carriage, and Li Youran quickly continued to pretend to be asleep.

"I must say, this woman is quite beautiful. Before giving her to Master Zhou, let's have some fun first," the man said lewdly, pulling down the curtain.

Then the two men started telling dirty jokes, and taking advantage of this opportunity, Li Youran began to slowly feel for the rope.

After an unknown amount of time, the carriage slowed down and then came to a stop.

Knowing they had arrived at their destination, Li Youran stopped what she was doing, hastily covered the rope, and pretended to fall asleep.

"Did you bring the person?"

"Don't worry, young lady, she's fast asleep in the car," the man said with a fawning expression.

"Carry the person inside first, and we'll settle the bill later," Wang Xiangyu said, waving her hand to signal the man to get started.

Li Youran was thrown into the woodshed. The straw pricked her face and itched a lot, but Li Youran dared not move because the ropes had not been completely untied.

If it is discovered that I have already woken up, they will definitely send people to keep a close watch on me, and then I will have no chance to act.

"Miss, we can ask for less money, could you..." The man said, looking at Li Youran with ill intent, his desire undisguised.

Wang Xiangyu naturally understood the man's meaning and gave Li Youran, who was lying on the straw, a cold look.

"Of course, it's possible, but we should be careful not to let the buyer back out later," Wang Xiangyu said as she left the woodshed.

She felt a sense of pleasure. In this life, Li Youran was completely ruined by her. Lu Chuan would no longer be with Li Youran, and she could sit firmly in the position of the wife of a scholar, living a life that everyone would envy.

"Go to hell! You think you can take advantage of me like that?" Li Youran kicked the man, who covered his groin and fell to the ground with his legs clamped together.

Seeing this, another man tried to run away, but Li Youran immediately kicked a stool and smashed it heavily on the back of the man's head, causing him to fall to the ground.

Hearing the sound, Wang Xiangyu turned around and saw Li Youran carrying a stool, charging out of the room with an air of dominance.

"What have I ever done to offend you? I've let you off the hook time and time again, but you've only gone further in trying to harm me. Today I'll show you just how beautiful the flowers can be!"

As Li Youran spoke, he threw the stool out and kicked it in mid-air. The stool flew straight towards Wang Xiangyu like an arrow released from a bow.

Wang Xiangyu was no match for Li Youran to begin with, let alone when Li Youran was in a full-blown rage.

"Father, Second Brother, what brings you here?"

Just as Li Youran finished tying up Wang Xiangyu and the two men, her father and second brother arrived in a carriage at breakneck speed.

"It was my sister-in-law who brought us here."

As soon as Li Tairan finished speaking, Zhou Yingying stepped down from the carriage, her eyes red, clearly having just cried.

"I'm sorry, little sister. It's all my fault for being disgusting and doing such a ridiculous thing." Zhou Yingying said as she knelt on the ground.

"You Ran, if you want to report this to the authorities, we will do so immediately." Li Dazhu looked angrily at the three people tied up on the ground, then gave Zhou Yingying a disappointed look.

If customs clearance is involved, Zhou Yingying will definitely be implicated. But how can something like this just be left unresolved!

"Father, let me think about it." Li Youran sighed and looked at Zhou Yingying, asking, "What benefits did she promise you?"

“She…she promised me thirty taels of silver.” Zhou Yingying said, then knelt on the ground and kowtowed, saying, “It was all my fault, it was all my fault.”

Although Zhou Yingying was wicked, she was extremely timid, and this was the first time she had done something like this. She regretted it as soon as Li Youran was lifted onto the carriage.

"I'm giving you one last chance." After saying this, Li Youran turned to Li Dazhu and said, "Father, I'm going to resolve this matter in my own way."

Li Youran turned to look at Wang Xiangyu, who was glaring at her fiercely, and felt that the best way to deal with someone like Wang Xiangyu was to fight fire with fire.

Since we're going to send a woman over anyway, we might as well send Wang Xiangyu over instead!

Suddenly there was a knock on the door. Li Youran saw Wang Xiangyu's expression change suddenly and knew that it must be the person who came to make contact.
