In this case, the fat proprietress has nothing to do with this matter at all.

Qian Ruoyu then said to the fat proprietress.

"By the way, if that's the case, have you noticed anything strange before? Especially those caravans outside the city?"

After hearing what Qian Ruoyu said, the fat proprietress naturally thought about it for a while.

"Well... I heard from my friend that there are indeed some caravans outside the city. It seems that they have some kind of festival among merchants recently, but I haven't heard of it."

"And I heard that the caravans did not appear on the official roads. They seemed to appear on the mountain roads. These are just what I heard. I really don't know those things, Princess."

Qian Ruoyu smiled slightly to ease the awkwardness between her and the boss's wife.

After all, Qian Ruoyu's suspicion of the fat proprietress was enough to scare her before. She had suspected the fat proprietress before, but now she is innocent. There is no way to resolve the embarrassment at this time, so Qian Ruoyu decided to change the subject.

"So that's how it is... If that's the case, then there's nothing to worry about. Madam Boss, you don't have to worry too much. Besides, I've already paid you enough money for these things. I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to continue transporting them next time, right?"

The fat proprietress nodded slightly after hearing Qian Ruoyu say this.

"Well, Madam, you are right. If you hadn't come, I would have gone to find you and talked about this matter."

"Before you arrived, my old friend had already sent me a pigeon message to tell me that there seemed to be some disturbance in Jiayuguan, so I'm afraid there will be no way to send anything over in the next one or two months."

Hearing her say this, Qian Ruoyu just nodded slightly.

"By the way, Princess, if there is nothing wrong at Jiayu Pass, can we continue to transport it here?"

Qian Ruoyu thought about it and realized that these rouge and powder could be sold in the palace or around here at any time, so she didn't have to worry about not being able to sell them.

In this way, perhaps the fat proprietress can indeed prepare to continue purchasing goods.

So Qian Ruoyu nodded and said.

"Well, that's no problem. When you're done over there, ask your friends to prepare rouge and powder and bring them over here. I'll take as many as you can."

After hearing Qian Ruoyu's words, the fat proprietress felt much more relieved.

Right after that, Qian Ruoyu said to the fat proprietress.

"Don't worry, Madam Boss. I'll always have your things. What happened just now was just a small incident. I hope you don't take it too seriously."

After hearing Qian Ruoyu's words, the fat proprietress breathed a sigh of relief and nodded quickly.

If I don't clear myself of suspicion just now, not only will I not have any chance to cooperate with you in the future, I might even lose my life.

After that, Qian Ruoyu left with the golden lotus.

Then Qian Ruoyu said to Jin Lianhua.

"By the way, Lotus, if you meet that group of people again, you probably won't be able to defeat them, right?"

After hearing what Qian Ruoyu said, Jin Lianhua began to show some excitement and spoke without hesitation.

"My lady, don't worry!"

"The last time I encountered them, it was just because I underestimated them. If I hadn't underestimated them, even if there were five or six of them, they would not be able to defeat me. I am confident that I can defeat them!"

Qian Ruoyu believed what Jin Lianhua said, so she decided to leave the capital with Jin Lianhua to see if she could find some clues outside.

At this time, Qian Ruoyu also called Yan'er back to the palace. After all, there was no use in bringing Yan'er here.

After that, Qian Ruoyu brought Jin Lianhua to the outside of the city gate.

And Golden Lotus also carries her own sword with her.

After all, he has become Qian Ruoyu's personal bodyguard, so he can wear the sword at any time without any obstruction.

Just after leaving the area less than half a mile, Qian Ruoyu turned off the official road and headed towards the small path next to it.

Just as Qian Ruoyu was walking forward, the golden lotus behind her followed directly and pointed at the ground and spoke to Qian Ruoyu.

"Princess, please look at these horse hoof prints on the ground."

Qian Ruoyu took a look immediately, but he was not very sensitive to these horse hoof prints.

To the husband, these were just some horse hoof prints from trampling back and forth, and due to the dry weather, these horse hoof prints were very shallow.

After seeing that Qian Ruoyu didn't understand, Jin Lianhua said this.

"Princess, there are four sets of horseshoe prints in total. Two of them are from the horses coming in, and the other two are from the horses going out."

"There were two horses in total, and they were not carrying much weight. I'm afraid they were led here by someone. The most important thing is that the horse hoof prints were only three feet away from the official road, and they stopped directly. This means that these horses did not directly step into the official road, but returned to the mountain."

After hearing these words, Qian Ruoyu suddenly understood.

She never thought that there was so much knowledge hidden in these horseshoe prints. As a man of the world, Jin Lianhua was able to see through the clues at a glance, which made Qian Ruoyu believe in Jin Lianhua even more. She believed that Jin Lianhua should be more familiar with this knowledge and was not joking with her.

Qian Ruoyu continued to ask.

"In that case, we just need to follow this path and maybe we can find those people?"

Golden Lotus nodded and observed where the ground led to.

Then Jin Lianhua walked forward a dozen steps and found that the grass on the side of the road had been trampled open and was some distance away from the roadside.

Jin Lianhua continued to speak to Qian Ruoyu.

"My queen, you see those people should have left this place. It seems that they are indeed deliberately hiding their hearts. Even if there are soldiers patrolling on the official road, they may not be able to find them."

"The intentions of these guys are not pure, and I can't tell whether they are out exploring the way or there are really only two or three of them. If they are just exploring the way, it means there should be someone else at the end of these footprints, and it will be much more dangerous then."

Jin Lianhua looked at Qian Ruoyu, and the meaning was very obvious.

"My Lady Princess, there may be some danger ahead, otherwise you should..."

But before she could finish, Qian Ruoyu simply shook her head and refused.

"Since this princess wants to investigate, she will investigate thoroughly. If I don't go and see for myself, how can I know the situation? You lead the way, and I will keep an eye on the back."

Qian Ruoyu has made up her mind.

If no results can be found out this time, Qian Ruoyu will not be able to return to the palace peacefully. This matter is of great importance.
