After Yan Wan coaxed Shangguan Wei'er away, she went out. She was about to go to Huangzhou, and she had to make arrangements for things in Yunzhou City so that she would have no worries.
Yan Wan arrived at the main street of Yunzhou City. She had already rented several shops and planned to open a branch of her hot pot restaurant in Yunzhou City after the renovations were completed. She believed that Yunzhou City would definitely prosper in the near future.
Yan Wan checked the construction progress of the rented shops, nodded in satisfaction, and left. Little did she know that she had already been targeted by someone.
Yan Wan had a vague feeling that something was wrong. Why did she feel like there was a gaze fixed on her?
She glanced back several times, pretending to be casual, but didn't see anyone. She patted her chest lightly, realizing she had only scared herself.
Suddenly, a black figure appeared in front of her. Yan Wan was so frightened that she took several steps back. She looked up and, to her surprise, it was the foreign man that she and Jing Xi had seen at the inn that day.
Yan Wan asked somewhat hesitantly, "Who are you? What are you doing here?"
"We meet again, little beauty," Meng Shang said with a slight raise of his eyebrows and a smile.
"I don't know you, you should leave," Yan Wan said, trying to compose herself, though her voice lacked confidence.
"Unfortunately, although you don't know me, I know you. Princess Han." Meng Shang circled around Yan Wan, gently sniffing her hair like a rogue.
When Yan Wan heard that he knew her identity, she thought to herself, "Oh no, this person has investigated me."
"Since you know I am the Princess Consort of Han, how dare you treat me like this? Are you tired of living? Aren't you afraid that His Highness the Prince of Han will punish you?" Yan Wan shouted loudly, hoping that bringing up Ji Mohan would intimidate the person in front of her.
Upon hearing the name of his mortal enemy, the Mong merchant became even more excited and said sarcastically, "King Han, I'm not afraid of him. Little beauty, your plan is going to fail."
Seeing that the other party was unmoved, Yan Wan became even more nervous. She looked around, trying to figure out the easiest way to escape.
Meng Shang took in Yan Wan's little actions, but he didn't care. He had only appeared suddenly to scare this woman who was as timid as a rabbit, not to catch her.
"Hey, Ji Mohan, you're here." Yan Wan suddenly looked behind Meng Shang and said loudly.
Sure enough, Meng Shang looked back, and in that instant, Yan Wan took off running. Putting aside everything else, she was quite good at running 800 meters. After all, in modern times, the 800-meter run was a major part of the annual physical fitness test. Unexpectedly, it really came in handy now.
When Meng Shang finally came to his senses, he saw his daughter, who had just looked terrified, running away quickly, lifting her skirt. Meng Shang watched Yan Wan run off with a smile, thinking that she seemed to have quite a talent for sports.
If Yan Wan knew what Meng Shang was thinking, she would be so angry she would vomit blood. She ran desperately, and he actually thought she had athletic talent?
In the end, it was all for naught!
Yan Wan ran for a long time before stopping and looking back. Fortunately, he hadn't followed. Luckily, she had run fast enough. Yan Wan straightened her clothes and headed back towards the main street.

"Jiang Bai, why are you getting out of bed? Lie down quickly." Jing Xi saw Jiang Bai swaying as he tried to get out of bed, and she hurriedly stopped him.
"Jingxi, I'm fine. I'm just a little weak, but otherwise I'm fine. You were just too nervous," Jiang Bai said helplessly.
"Oh dear, sit down quickly. You were already in poor health, and now that you're sick, you look even weaker." Jing Xi helped Jiang Bai sit down on the bed.
"Jingxi, I'm fine. I just felt a little guilty seeing you running around all by yourself," Jiang Bai said with some remorse.
"It's alright, I'm almost done packing. We're going to Huangzhou the day after tomorrow. I'll be seeing Ji Mo'an soon, and I'm actually looking forward to it," Jing Xi said casually.
Jiang Bai's face was pale, and his lips trembled slightly. He was about to meet that person again. Would he tell Jing Xi and his father about his identity?
"Jiang Bai, Jiang Bai, what's wrong? Why do you look so pale?" Yan Wan looked at Jiang Bai's pale face and hurriedly got up to ask.
"It's nothing, Jingxi, I'm just a little tired," Jiang Bai said with a hint of bitterness.
"Okay, then you get some rest. I'm going to talk to Wan'er about something, I'll be right back," Jing Xi said.
"Okay, cough cough, be careful on the road," Jiang Bai said with concern.
"I know, don't worry!" Jing Xi's voice came from the courtyard.
Jiang Bai shook his head with concern. Jing Xi was always so carefree, and he could never help but worry about her.

"Is everything ready?" Ji Mo'an asked in a deep voice.
"Your Highness, everything is ready. We will march south and attack the capital as soon as you give the order."
"Hahahaha, great! Taking the capital is just around the corner!" Ji Mo'an said excitedly.
He had painstakingly planned for so many years, and it was finally about to come true. Just thinking about his victory made him want to look up at the sky and go to university.
After waiting for so many years, there will finally be a result, and also, I will finally see my elder brother, the Emperor.
It had been over twenty years since the two brothers had last met, and unexpectedly, their first meeting turned into a fight.
I wonder if my elder brother is comfortable sitting in his seat.

After Shangguan Wei'er left, Li Shang went up to the city gate tower alone, looked into the distance, and his thoughts drifted slowly and leisurely.
"From now on, you'll follow me. As for your name, let's call you Li Shang," Li Ge said, squatting down and patting his head.
"Who are you?" Xiao Lishang asked in his childish voice.
"Me? My name is Li Ge. From now on, you can call me Auntie. We'll be family from now on," Li Ge said with a smile.
"Family?" Xiao Lishang repeated.
“Yes, family.” Li Ge repeated affirmatively.
"I've never had any family," Xiao Lishang said softly.
“Now that you have one, my family will be your family, and I will be your relative too,” Li Ge said patiently, trying to comfort her.
"Then we're family now! I have family now! I have family now!" Little Li Shang shouted as he ran happily around Li Ge.
"Aunt, everything is about to be revealed. Li Shang will definitely avenge you," Li Shang said, clenching his fists and gritting his teeth.
"Reporting to General Li, His Highness Prince Han is looking for you." A soldier's voice came from behind.
"Okay, I'll be right there." Li Shang turned around, nodded to the soldier, and said in a deep voice.
Then, he strode towards Ji Mohan's camp.
