Divorced by her husband's family and rejected by her own! She defiantly turned her life around

Liu Siyue gave Ningxiang some more instructions, and then she and Ruyu drove to the street to buy a lot of ingredients to prepare for a barbecue when they got back.

They were so busy that they didn't even have time for lunch. The two of them bought a few steamed buns and ate them while rushing to catch the train.

When Madam Feng saw them, she said, "You must be exhausted after all this time. Sit down and rest."

"Mom, we're not tired. It's getting late, let's go prepare dinner."

"In April, you said you wanted to eat grilled fish, and my second uncle had already caught about ten fish from the fishpond and cleaned them all."

"Thank you, Uncle. Your barbecue skills are excellent. I'll have to thank you again tonight."

"It's not hard work at all. I'm happy to see you all eating."

Liu Siyue and Ruyu went to do their work. She reminded Ruyu, "Ruyu, you absolutely mustn't let anything slip, okay?"

"knew.

"Cousin, was that person really a princess? Why would a princess be being chased?"

"I think so. I'm afraid the world is about to become turbulent, and the people are about to suffer."

The two sisters were chatting and didn't notice someone approaching from behind. Yun Chenxin was standing behind them when she suddenly spoke, startling them both. Liu Siyue patted her chest, "Chenxin, you scared me to death!"

"I've been here for a while now, and you were walking so loudly, how come you didn't hear me? What are you whispering about? You seem so engrossed in your conversation. Are you hiding something from us? I saw you acting suspiciously when you came back at noon today."

Liu Siyue quickly made a shushing gesture, "Shh~, what did you hear?"

"What princess? Things aren't peaceful here..."

Liu Siyue immediately covered her mouth. "Chenxin, keep everything you just heard to yourself. Don't say a word. I didn't mean to hide it from you, but it's a serious matter. If we're not careful, it could lead to the extermination of your entire family. I'll tell you tonight. Let's prepare the ingredients first."

Seeing Liu Siyue's serious and cautious demeanor, Yun Chenxin knew something serious must have happened. Her face turned pale, and her heart pounded.

Liu Siyue held her hand. "Chenxin, don't worry. As long as we don't say anything carelessly, everything will be fine. Relax and don't let my mother notice anything amiss, so she won't worry."

"Okay, I'm not worried, I'm not worried!"

The sun had already set, and Liu Siyue had set up the barbecue grill. Liu Dawang, wearing an apron, had already started grilling skewers. Liu Siyue called everyone from the village over, and dozens of people gathered together for a barbecue. It was very lively. Children ran around, and adults chatted while skewering the ingredients. Laughter and cheerful voices echoed throughout the village.

The aroma of the roasted meat was so irresistible that the children couldn't help but sniff. "It smells so good!" They gathered around the grill, watching Liu Dawang roast the meat. Liu Dawang then shared the roasted food with the children, but the children were very considerate. They didn't eat any themselves, but instead gave some to Feng Shi and Liu Siyue.

Madam Feng smiled from ear to ear, "You've raised the children very well, they're so well-behaved and sensible. The master gives them to you, so eat them. They're still roasting over there, we'll eat them later."

Dinner was very plentiful, including barbecue, a big pot of chicken soup, stir-fried seasonal wild vegetables, and cooked rice. The children laughed and said that this was the best food they had ever eaten, even more fragrant and delicious than the food during the Lunar New Year.

After the meal, the servants went to clear the dishes, while Liu Siyue and Yun Chenxin took a walk around the manor to digest their food. She told Yun Chenxin about what had happened in the mountains that day, "Chenxin, those people are staying in the manor to recover from their injuries. When we go back in a couple of days, we'll take them to the village, where it's safer."

"In April, was that woman really a princess?"

"Yes, she was the princess, a female general whom everyone admired, but she ended up like this. The world is probably going to be in chaos. If it really is in chaos, I will take you all back to Liu Family Village to live. It is better to defend there, and the people in the village are more united."

You don't need to worry too much. It hasn't happened yet, so we'll talk about it when it does. The point is to prepare yourself mentally.

Tomorrow I plan to go to the prefectural city to take care of some matters. Please keep an eye on Mother and Second Uncle here; don't let them go back to the manor. Take them around the estate more often.

"Then you have to be careful. I'll wait for you to come back."

As they walked back, Liu Siyue explained that she had something to do the next day and would be away for two days, telling them to have fun at the estate, where they could fish or enjoy the scenery.

Liu Dawang said with a smile, "In April, you can go about your business. I will take good care of my family."

The next day, Liu Siyue took Qingye back to the county town. On the way, she told her about the people in the house, "Qingye, when you get to the house, you must take good care of those people. They have special identities, so you can't be careless. Also, you can't let outsiders know that strangers have come to the house."

"Yes, Master, I've noted it all down."

Upon arriving at the Yun residence, Liu Siyue first went to see the Princess, who was still unconscious. Qingwu immediately reported, "Master, the princess had a fever last night. I gave her fever-reducing medicine as you instructed, and the fever subsided just before dawn. She had only been asleep for a short while."

Three of the guards also had fevers, but they've gone down now.

"Hmm, well done. Call Shadow over and explain things to Shadow and Light Sway. Light Sway will stay and take over your mission. You're coming out with me."

Qingwu immediately handed An Ying over, and Liu Siyue explained the situation. An Ying understood immediately and knelt down on both knees. "Thank you, Madam Liu, for saving our lives. We have no way to repay you. Our lives belong to you, Princess, and we will go through fire and water for you."

"Get up quickly. I admire the princess for her concern for the world. She deserves my help. You should stay here and recover. You should be safe for now."

Liu Siyue took Qingwu to the county government office, obtained the travel permits, and then sped off in an oxcart towards the prefectural city. "Master, are we going to the prefectural city to deal with that Prefect Cai?"

"Yes, it's better to strike first. I don't want to put my family in danger."

The Bull Demon King ran wildly all the way to the city gate. There were many people queuing up in the capital. Liu Siyue looked at the towering city wall, solemn, ancient and magnificent, with soldiers standing guard on it.

The guards checked their travel permits, and Qingwu paid the entry fee, thus gaining entry into the city without any problems.

Liu Siyue first found an inn to settle down, and the two of them ordered some food at the inn and asked the waiter to bring it to their room.

A waiter first brought water for the guests to wash their faces. "Gentlemen, the water is here. The food will be served shortly."

Just as the waiter was about to leave, Liu Siyue called him back, "Wait a minute, young waiter, I have something to ask you."

The waiter's eyes lit up immediately. He knew he'd get a reward for asking customers questions, so it seemed he'd been right to be proactive. "Sir, what would you like to know?"

Before asking any questions, Liu Siyue took out a small piece of silver and placed it on the table. "Young man, I want to ask about recent events in the prefectural city. If you answer well, this piece of silver is yours."

The waiter's eyes lit up as he looked at the silver piece. "Sir, please ask me anything. I will answer whatever I know without reservation. Please feel free to ask."

"I'd like to know if anything has happened in the capital recently?"

The waiter glanced at the piece of silver again. "Sir, you look like you're from out of town and know nothing about the city. I wonder if you've come to the city to do business, visit relatives and friends, or are just passing through?"

Liu Siyue raised an eyebrow, her eyes turning sharp and impatient. "Don't ask questions you shouldn't ask, and don't say anything useless. Get to the point."

The waiter slapped himself. "Please calm down, sir. It's all my fault for being so talkative. I'll tell you right now."

So I left the inn and went for a stroll in the streets.
