Transmigrated into a farmer's lucky charm, all the villains in the family panicked.

The next morning, Liang Youqi boarded a carriage to leave.

Suddenly, she saw a purse under the seat.

This was the gift she gave to Miss Yun yesterday. How did it end up in her carriage?

Liang Youqi quickly opened his purse and checked; none of the loose silver or banknotes were missing.

She found it even more unbelievable, so she quickly got off the carriage and looked around, but there wasn't a single person in sight.

She thought about how her daughter had a fever last night, burning up all over, and it was only after using the medicine left by Miss Yun that the fever subsided. Now, Miss Yun knew that she was in financial straits and even sent her money back.

This made her incredibly grateful, but also somewhat guilty.

Now, as the daughter of the notorious corrupt official Liang Boyan, she's not quite at the point where everyone hates her, but she's pretty much there.

Her former relatives and friends have all cut off contact with her.

Let alone helping her, they even thought she was bad luck just because she passed by their door.

But Miss Yun, whom she had just met, not only saved her daughter, but also gave her money, which moved her deeply and made her feel ashamed.

She clutched the purse tightly in her hand, her heart pounding.

Finally, she made up her mind that once her two younger brothers' affairs were settled, if Miss Yun didn't mind her background, she would definitely repay her kindness.

I would do anything, even be a beast of burden.

Seeing that her expression was off, Uncle Cao asked nervously.

"Madam, what's wrong?"

Liang Youqi looked at the purse in her hand again, thought about what she was going to do next, and shook her head firmly.

"It's alright, Uncle Cao, let's go."

Liang Youqi boarded the carriage, took the still-sleeping Yuanyuan into his arms, and looked resolute.

"Let's get there as soon as possible..."

Uncle Cao nodded, quickly sat on the carriage shaft, flicked the whip, and the carriage clattered along...

An hour later, Yun Shengsheng came downstairs yawning.

Wu Xia came in from the shop entrance and quietly informed her, "Miss, they've already left!"

Yun Shengsheng paused, knowing who she was talking about, and nodded.

"Alright, let's go eat breakfast..."

For the next ten days or so, the convoy continued south, and they never encountered Liang Youqi on the road again.

Xiao Mao Tuanzi said that Liang Youqi and his group rode at breakneck speed all the way, and except for sleeping in the wilderness, they hardly stopped and never went into the city again.

Yun Shengsheng stopped paying attention to Liang Youqi's affairs and gradually forgot about him.

Her attention was mostly drawn to the scenery in the south.

This was her first time visiting the South in ancient times.

It's November now, a time when it's snowing in the north, but the south is still lush and vibrant.

The mountains on both sides of the official road were covered with dense primeval forests, with all kinds of broad-leaved trees that she couldn't name crowding together in layers, their canopies forming a green sea that rippled in waves when the wind blew.

The air was filled with the sweet scent of earth and plants, mixed with the fragrance of unknown wildflowers; every breath felt like a deep cleansing for the lungs.

Whenever the carriage stopped to rest, she would wander around by the roadside.

The stream was crystal clear, and small, silvery-white fish swam in it.

The tree trunk was covered with moss and wood ear fungus.

Occasionally, you can see squirrels carrying pine cones, leaping from one branch to another.

Various birds chirped and chattered in the treetops, and sometimes you could even see pheasants with long tails fluttering up from the grass!

They outnumbered the enemy and their shadow guards were all highly skilled, so they weren't afraid of any ferocious beasts.

Occasionally, when they encountered a few foolish bandits, Yun Shengsheng and Yan Shijin didn't even need to lift a finger; the shadow guards hidden in the shadows easily dealt with them.

Once, a bandit leader charged out wielding a large knife and shouted, "This mountain is mine!" before a shadow guard descended from the sky and kicked him into a nearby ditch.

When he was pulled out of the ditch, his legs were covered in leeches.

From then on, Yun Shengsheng couldn't help but laugh whenever the bandits were mentioned.

And so, they traveled as peacefully as if they were on a picnic.

After traveling for more than twenty days, they finally arrived at their destination—Hucheng Prefecture.

Although Hucheng Prefecture was not as prosperous as Hangyue Prefecture and Suyang Prefecture in Jiangnan, it was still a wealthy medium-sized prefecture.

The city wall is made of blue bricks. Over time, the surface of the wall is covered with vines and moss, making it look like a green castle from a distance.

The water in the moat was very clear, and weeping willows were planted on both banks. The willow branches swayed gently in the wind, as if welcoming guests from afar.

The city gate was bustling with activity: peddlers carrying loads, farmers herding cattle, scholars riding donkeys, and wealthy merchants in sedan chairs. It was a lively scene.

Coincidentally, this is where Yun Shengsheng's brother-in-law works.

Sun Changzai and his family also lived here.

Yun Shengsheng also learned from Xiao Maotuanzi that her brother-in-law and Sun Changzai had actually played a significant role in Liang Boyan's downfall.

It was quite a coincidence that Fan Sibo was transferred to Yang County, under Hucheng Prefecture, as the county magistrate. At first, he just governed his own small area in a proper and orderly manner.

But he soon discovered that there was a big problem in Yang County, which he was in charge of.

The treasury was empty, and the grain depot was almost empty as well.

He made some inquiries privately and discovered that the same thing was happening in several neighboring counties, including Huiyang, Pingliang, and Ruzhou.

Despite the imperial court allocating disaster relief funds every year, the county received nothing, let alone the common people.

The people suffered from the disaster and were so hungry that they were skin and bones. They had no choice but to flee north with their families.

He secretly investigated and followed the clues, discovering that the root of these problems lay in the prefectural city.

Most of the imperial court's disaster relief funds were intercepted at the prefectural level.

Fan Sibo was only a seventh-rank county magistrate at the time, and had no way to continue the investigation, but he had one advantage: his sister-in-law was powerful.

Yun Shengsheng had saved Sun Changzai's children in the capital before, and that's when the two families started their friendship.

Sun Changzai provided Fan Sibo with a lot of key information and channels of support through his local network of connections.

The two men, one in the open and one in the shadows, quickly tracked down Liang Boyan.

Liang Boyan once tried to use his connections to kill Fan Sibo, but Sun Changzai discovered the plot and helped him escape.

Then the two of them spent more than a year gathering all the irrefutable evidence of Liang Boyan's embezzlement, and then sent it to the capital through secret channels.

After Liang Boyan fell from power, Fan Sibo was promoted exceptionally for his outstanding contribution, rising from the seventh rank to the fifth rank and becoming a prefect.

Sun Changzai was originally a royal merchant, and now he received a large reward.

As soon as Yun Shengsheng and his entourage arrived at the city gate, they saw Fan Sibo, Yun Xiaoxiao, Sun Changzai, and Cui Shi standing outside the gate to greet them...

There were also people secretly watching Yun Shengsheng and the others...
