Madam Jiang couldn't bear to see her own daughter suffer, so she set her sights on Jiang Jingyue. Since Jiang Jingyue was an illegitimate daughter whose mother had died long ago, there was no one to stand up for her.
The original owner of this body was so frightened upon learning this news that he died.
Seeing the woman's pitiful state, Jiang Jingyue couldn't help but shake her head.
Next, she will take the place of this poor little thing and let her live for herself for once.
Just then, the wooden door creaked open, and when Jiang Jingyue saw who it was, her eyes reddened, and she looked away.
This person is Jiang Jingyue's brother. He's neither good nor bad to her, so she doesn't know what Jiang Minglang is planning to do here at this time.
Jiang Minglang didn't say anything. He reached into his pocket, took something out, and placed it in front of Jiang Jingyue.
Jiang Jingyue glanced down and knew it was silver. Although she was tempted, she restrained herself from making a rash decision.
"Brother, what do you mean by this? Why are you suddenly giving me money?"
Looking at his younger sister's blank and somewhat foolish appearance, Jiang Minglang couldn't help but worry: could she really handle this on her own?
"Take this silver. I know you don't want to go on this marriage alliance, especially since your intended spouse is a fierce and cruel person. It's normal for you to be afraid. Take this money and run!"
"Run as far as you can, as long as you can."
When she heard him say that, Jiang Jingyue shook her head.
"Brother, I can't run away. What will happen to you if I run away? The Emperor will definitely blame you, and then you will all be in trouble."
Looking at his younger sister blinking her eyes, looking so obedient, Jiang Minglang really couldn't bear it.
He couldn't bear to see his sweet little sister die like this.
She'll definitely die if she goes to the west.
"Don't worry about that. I'll handle the rest. You just need to run. Once you find a safe place, remember to write to me, okay?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Jingyue immediately nodded.
"Big brother, thank you, I understand. I'll run now and pack my things first."
Seeing Jiang Jingyue put away all the valuables, Jiang Minglang couldn't help but twitch his lips, somewhat incredulous.
"Xiaoyue, you're going to elope, not to enjoy yourself. You don't need to bring any of these things."
Despite what he said, Jiang Jingyue still packed everything up without hesitation.
"Brother, I'm leaving now. We'll meet again sometime in the future."
As soon as she ran out of the mansion, Jiang Jingyue put down the things she was carrying on her back. There were so many things that she was panting heavily.
"Master, I've run away now, will that break the rules? Do I need to run back and obediently go to the marriage alliance?"
Upon hearing Jiang Jingyue's question, the system immediately spoke up.
"Host, you don't need to now. Your target is already on her way. All you need to do is put on an act."
Hearing how simple it was, Jiang Jingyue couldn't help but smile and nod.
"Sure, acting is something I'm very good at. How long until my target, the older brother, arrives? I'll prepare in advance."
Soon, Jiang Jingyue heard the sound of galloping hooves approaching, slowly drawing closer.
"Host, he's here. Get ready."
Jiang Jingyue was already prepared. She quickly swallowed several painkillers, as she was very afraid of pain and thought it was better to take as many as possible.
Hearing the approaching sound of hooves, Jiang Jingyue felt a little flustered, but she was still prepared.
When she saw a horse galloping towards her at great speed, she immediately slung her pack over her shoulder and slowly walked towards the road.
Tuoba was startled when he saw the woman suddenly appear. He immediately pulled the reins on his horse and managed to stop it quickly, but he still bumped into Jiang Jingyue slightly.
The impact was so great that Jiang Jingyue was sent hurtling violently towards the distance.
When Tuoba saw Jiang Jingyue being knocked away, he was stunned for a moment, then immediately got up and rushed over.
Just when Jiang Jingyue thought she was about to fall hard to the ground, she was pulled into a stiff embrace.
Although it was a bit stiff, it was still better than falling directly to the ground.
She immediately reached out and grabbed Tuoba Zheng's clothes in front of his chest, afraid that she would fall down like that.
Tuoba Zheng dislikes people getting too close to him, especially women. Whenever a woman touches him, he feels nauseous, vomits, and wants to throw up.
He had no choice but to do it; otherwise, he wouldn't have hugged Jiang Jingyue at all.
When he carried Jiang Jingyue to the ground and made sure she was standing, he suddenly realized that he didn't feel nauseous or want to vomit.
This discovery surprised Tuoba Zheng somewhat, and he couldn't help but look down at the little woman whose small hands were still tightly gripping his clothes.
The young woman's fair skin was dazzling, unlike the women in his region, whose skin was generally darker. This was the first time Tuoba Zheng had ever seen such a fair-skinned woman; her whiteness was truly dazzling.
He couldn't help but want to reach out and touch it to see if it was real.
