"However, please don't misunderstand! We didn't eavesdrop on these conversations; it's just that this young master was shouting so loudly. Not only us, but even the guests downstairs last night heard it!"

"If it's convenient for you, please bring our young master along. We can pay extra!"

The young man with the fan behind the waiter chuckled and chimed in, "That's right! I have tons of money, nothing else but tons of money!"

"So please take me with you!"

Lin Ru watched the two of them singing in unison and a smile appeared on her face. The person in front of her should indeed be from Anqian Inn, but he might not be the young master, but the young lady!

This person's appearance and some of his mannerisms are exactly the same as that green tea bitch who just came over!

Seeing that the previous approach wasn't working, he changed his clothes and tried to approach her from her side. It was quite interesting!

Moreover, the faint aura emanating from this person felt very familiar to her, so under the surprised gazes of those around her, she nodded in agreement to bring him along!

"Alright! Since Young Master Qian has put it that way, it would be really unreasonable for me to refuse!"

"But I'm warning you beforehand, if you want to come with us, you have to listen to us. Don't act like a spoiled young master; I don't have a very good temper either!"

"If Young Master Qian gets hurt, don't blame me for not informing you beforehand!"

Upon hearing this, Qian Duoduo happily peeked out from behind Xiao Er!

He repeatedly assured her, "Don't worry, I absolutely won't throw a tantrum!"

Lin Ru smiled enigmatically at his expression.

Then he continued eating with his head down!

But Wu Ling was somewhat unhappy. He had thought he finally had a chance to be alone with his young lady, but these two had to come and interfere!

It's infuriating, especially with this man who came later, fanning himself with his fan and glancing at Lin Ru every now and then. It's really infuriating!

What's even more outrageous is that he and his young mistress were originally traveling together on horseback, but after these two people cut in, they switched to driving a carriage. Moreover, he was driving the carriage from the outside, while the two shameless men sat in the carriage with his young mistress!

That's infuriating!

To prevent these people from having more opportunities to spend time with their young lady!

His whip was so strong it was practically sparking!

Inside, Qian Duoduo was so shaken by the carriage that she almost threw up her breakfast!

She covered her mouth, trying hard not to vomit, and looked at Lin Ru next to her, who looked as calm as a mountain!

And she even closed her eyes to rest, as if she had already fallen asleep!

She really did hold it in, but finally leaned out of the carriage window and vomited violently!

But Wu Ling shows no sign of stopping!

We endured wind and rain along the way, making the most of our time to travel!

Finally, as they approached Anrui City, Qian Duoduo erupted!

"Miss Lin, what's wrong with your guard? I have a feeling he's deliberately trying to antagonize me."

"You knew I get carsick, yet you still went so fast!"

"And could we slow down a bit?"

Why are you walking so fast?

"The scenery along the way is so beautiful, shouldn't we take a look?"

"We're almost at Anrui City! It's the most prosperous city in Luzhou! Let's stop and go in for a look!"

"My mother is right here!"

Lin Ru looked at Qian Duoduo in front of her with a half-smile!

He cut to the chase: "Miss Qian! Now that you've come all this way with us, just say what your purpose is!"

"I hate beating around the bush!"

"This place is in the middle of nowhere, and we've already shaken off those who were protecting you. If you don't tell the truth, I'll let you experience what it means to be left to rot in the wilderness!"

Qian Duoduo was stunned at first, and then, in a fit of despair, squatted down on the ground!

"No! Miss Lin! How exactly did you find out?"

"I feel like I've disguised myself pretty well!"

Lin Ru laughed and said, "You must think we're fools! The first time you pretended to be a weak woman, and the second time you're pretending to be a handsome young man!"

"These two times, the only changes you made were your clothes and headdress; your makeup remained exactly the same!"

"Have you been reading too many novels?"

"Do you think that having hair standing up makes you a man and having it down makes you a woman?"

"What kind of man wears lip rouge?!"

Qian Duoduo wiped her mouth with a hint of helplessness.

She exclaimed, "If that's the case, then all these years of dressing up as a man have been for nothing! I even thought I was doing a great job!"

"Since you've found out, I'll just lay it all out."

"Does Miss Lin possess a black iron token with the character for money written on it?"

"I am the young patriarch of the Qian clan!"

"I……"

Lin Ru interrupted her with a smile!

"I didn't! You've got the wrong person!"

"I don't know what you're talking about! So stop following us!"

Upon hearing this answer, Wu Ling couldn't help but turn his head to look. He remembered that Lin Ru clearly had a black iron token with the character for "money" on it! Why wouldn't she admit it? Most importantly, why couldn't he see that the man in front of him was actually a woman in disguise? He looked exactly like a man! He was clearly not the same person as the woman who tried to stage an accident. The one in front of him looked very healthy!

Qian Duoduo was also somewhat surprised by this answer!

In fact, she had already sensed the aura of a token on the little girl in front of her!

Moreover, this wasn't the first time she had sensed this aura. She had secretly seen it before, back when the little girl in front of her was still a refugee fleeing famine!

She's also at Anqian Inn in Kangqu County!

At the time, I didn't want to be someone's slave so early, and seeing that little girl looking malnourished, and with so many messy relatives at home, I always felt that she wouldn't live long!

So no one stepped forward. Who would have thought that this little girl would become empress in just a few months!

She said somewhat anxiously, "I clearly sensed the aura of the token on you!"

"You are the owner of the token!"

"If you feel that my approach to you these two times made you uncomfortable, I apologize immediately!"

Lin Ru smiled and waved her hand!

"You don't need to apologize to me, and we have no relationship whatsoever."

"I have important things to do next."

"I can't keep messing around with you like this."

"So you should go back with your men!"

"And even if I really do have a token, what does that have to do with you?"
