After leaving the space, Zhen Wanwan planned to hurry up and exchange the food for some silver.

Unexpectedly, just as I reached the corner, I bumped into a cold, indifferent face.

It's even colder to the touch than the Tmall Genie!

Zhen Wanwan greeted him sheepishly, "Strategist, it's been a long time! I really didn't expect to run into you here!"

I don't know when this person arrived, or whether they saw her entering and leaving the space.

Thinking of this, Zhen Wanwan also became a little anxious.

Zhu Yuan kept his eyes fixed on the woman in front of him, trying to confirm if it was her.

"May I have your name?"

"Huh?" Zhen Wanwan looked at him in surprise, but still said her name.

It was as if Zhu Yuan, across from her, was recalling events from a year ago, when he was seriously injured during a mission.

Having barely escaped the men sent by the King of Yang, they suffered too much unconsciousness.

In a daze, he stumbled upon Zhen Wanwan being bullied by thugs and stepped in to help.

Unexpectedly, she pinned him down instead.

He was completely exhausted and had fallen into a brief coma.

When they woke up again, they found that the two of them had already taken off their clothes, and the floor was a mess.

He wanted to kill her.

But the woman in front of him kept talking nonsense that he couldn't understand, and she was both crying and laughing.

He thought the man was crazy and was prepared to spare his life.

As he prepared to turn and leave, the man clung to him desperately, while Yang Wang's men returned.

Seeing that they were about to run into him, they had no choice but to lift the woman up.

He planned to first meet up with the secret agents and deliver the evidence of Yang Wang's rebellion to his master.

However, it was too late; the Prince of Yang rebelled ahead of schedule.

General Xiao rushed to the rescue day and night, but was assassinated on the way, which is why he was a few days late.

Their next meeting was marked by the massacre of the county town.

He thought Zhen Wanwan had died in the war, but the two unexpectedly met again.

The war in Leling Prefecture was unexpected, so Zhuyuan had been lying in ambush there long ago.

The good news is that Prince Yang's army has been severely damaged; the bad news is that there is a traitor in Leling Prefecture.

Zhen Wanwan looked at the silent man in front of her with a puzzled expression.

My heart was pounding.

Recalling the scene in her dream, her face flushed slightly, yet she was afraid that Zhu Yuan would notice something.

She then pretended to be relaxed and said, "If there's nothing else, sir, I'll take my leave now."

Zhu Yuan snapped out of his reverie and looked at Zhen Wanwan with a complicated expression.

You're married?

Zhen Wanwan nodded awkwardly: "I guess so."

What does "consider" mean?

For some reason, Zhen Wanwan suddenly had a brain fart and blurted out that thing.

"Although I am not married, I am already a mother of two children, and I will spend the rest of my life raising them."

"As for..." She paused for a moment, then looked at the man in front of her and said calmly, "I've never met the child's biological father."

Zhen Wanwan smiled awkwardly, keeping a close eye on Zhu Yuan's expression: "These two children were born to a strange man."

Seeing Zhu Yuan's calm and indifferent attitude, Zhen Wanwan wondered if she had misunderstood.

Could the Zhuyuan in her dream be a product of her imagination?

“Zhen Niangzi is quite different from others; she dares to break ethical and moral boundaries by abandoning her father and keeping her son.”

Wait, is this really the case in ancient times?

Could this strategist also be a time traveler?

"Odd changes, even remains the same?"

Zhu Yuan asked in confusion, "Why does the chicken change, but the lotus root doesn't?"

The investigation is complete; they're not the people I imagined.

Seeing that the man in front of her was not what she thought, Zhen Wanwan did not want to waste any more time.

Then she thought of leaving: "I have some things to attend to at the Military Advisor University Women's Federation, so I'll have to excuse myself now. See you again sometime."

"I can give you what you want."

The cold voice of Zhu Yuan came from behind, and Zhen Wanwan hesitated, taking a step back.

She walked backwards to Zhuyuan and looked at him expectantly.

What do you need me to do?

Zhu Yuan glanced at her sideways before looking away.

"You only need to promise me one thing in the future."

Is there really such a good thing?

She has no car, no house, and no savings, so she's not afraid of being extorted by him at all.

"As long as you don't make me kill or commit arson, don't extort money from me, and don't harm my family, I'll agree."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Yuan sneered, "Heh, deal."

Zhen Wanwan looked at him in disbelief: "So agreeable? Aren't you going to ask me what I want?"

Zhu Yuan looked her up and down and said disdainfully, "It's nothing more than spending some gold and silver."

Zhen Wanwan awkwardly poked her hand and admitted, "I urgently need money right now, but don't worry, this amount is fine!"

Zhen Wanwan held up three fingers, seeing that Zhu Yuan was looking at her without saying a word.

He then silently put down another one: "I really can't go any lower, or I won't be able to buy even a lame horse."

Zhu Yuan took out a bag of silver from his pocket and threw it to her: "There are fifty taels of loose silver in here, and the rest are banknotes, totaling three thousand taels."

"so much!"

Zhen Wanwan put the silver into her pocket and then looked around warily.

Looking at her shifty-eyed appearance, Zhu Yuan found it hard to believe that she was a mother.

Tell me where you are going.

Having received the silver, Zhen Wanwan readily told them about her trip to Anqing Prefecture.

"If you need my help with anything, sir, just send someone to deliver a message to me."

"Okay, go ahead."

"Then I'll really be going now, goodbye, sir!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Zhen Wanwan took off running and returned to Niuma City with the silver.

She breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Zhu Yuan hadn't chased after her.

Then, happily, he joined up with Old Lady Li and the others, carrying the silver.

"Why did you take so long?" Grandma Li said, trying to soothe Tianbao, who had suddenly started crying.

Seeing that Tianbao was crying so hard, Zhen Wanwan took her in.

He touched her head again, and seeing that it wasn't hot, he finally felt relieved.

"They probably ate something that upset their stomach."

"Mom, let's hurry up and finish paying the bill and go home." She was a little worried that Tianbao had been frightened.

Grandma Li took the baby out of Zhen Fugui's arms and nodded in agreement: "We need to hurry."

"Oh~ the young lady is back."

The vendor, who was keeping an eye on Zhen's whereabouts, came over as soon as he saw her return.

Now that Zhen Wanwan had money, she was full of confidence and said to the vendor, "Do you have any better horses? I'd like to buy two more."

She had a good plan; she could lend two of the carriages to the other families later.

It will also make the journey faster.

The vendor grinned from ear to ear upon hearing this, never expecting someone to be such a fierce bargainer.

He's quite wealthy.

It looks like he'll be able to meet this month's sales target ahead of schedule!

Grandma Li looked at the bold and generous Zhen Wanwan in surprise, unable to hide her doubts.

"Wanwan, where did you get so much money?"

Zhen Wanwan made up a story: "When I went out of the outhouse, I happened to save a man from a wealthy family. To repay me, he gave me two hundred taels of silver."

Hiss~

When Grandma Li and Zhen Fugui heard about this, they were shocked and looked around, afraid that others would find out that their daughter (sister) was carrying a huge sum of money.
