On her wedding night, she went into exile with her pharmacy arsenal

Yan Ruyu was busy when Linlang came in from outside.

"Master, the governor's mansion just sent a message that the mother and son of the Cheng family are dead, and there was a fire at the Cheng family home. No one inside was spared. Constable Cui has already led people there."

Yan Ruyu stopped writing: "All dead? How did the mother and son of the Cheng family die in prison?"

"It is said that they committed suicide, one hit his head against the wall, and the other hanged himself."

Yan Ruyu thought about it for a moment and realized that the mother and son were both selfish and afraid of death. They would never die if they could live.

Yan Ruyu didn't believe that they committed suicide.

He must have been silenced.

However, the mother and son of the Cheng family have committed many evil deeds. They should pay with their lives just for killing so many maids and servants.

As for how they died, Yan Ruyu didn't want to see it and had no interest.

What's more, before leaving, Mrs. Cheng tricked her into going to the wine shop. Even at that time, she was still thinking about harming others.

It's really hateful.

Yan Ruyu made up her mind: "Don't worry about it. Tell the people in the government office to treat him as an ordinary death. As for the situation in Cheng Mansion, just let me know when there is a result."

"Yes."

Yan Ruyu turned her head and looked out the window. Spring came late, but also came quickly. In just a few days, the flowers and trees in the yard had begun to sprout green buds.

I believe it will be a good spring.

The Cheng family will never be seen again.

Do not live by committing sins.

……

When Cheng Fengyao woke up, her vision was still a little blurry. Her eyeballs were extremely sore from not moving for such a long time.

She wanted to rub her eyes, but found that she could not move because her hands and feet were chained.

She realized belatedly that this was not the Cheng family and she was already married!

Looking at herself again, she found that she was not wearing a bright red wedding dress, only a white inner garment.

Her heart skipped a beat. Could it be that she had been...

He was overwhelmed with grief for a moment and struggled hard, causing the iron chains to rattle.

This old man is a pervert. This is not a new house at all, but a cave-like place. It is pitch black all around. There is a brazier lit on the wall. The flames are jumping, making the cave flicker.

She couldn't help but yell, "Let me go, let me go! Cheng Guanghan, you bastard, you actually lied to me and sold me to the old man. I will never let you go, you will be punished."

At this moment, there was a sudden sound and someone was dragging his feet towards them.

She turned her head to look, ready to scold the old man.

But when the person came closer, she was so frightened that she forgot how to speak.

The man who came had disheveled hair and looked like a walking skeleton. He was so thin that he was just a bag of bones, with sunken cheeks, purple lips, and buck teeth that were exposed and were also blue-black in color.

His skin was blue-gray, his eyes were dark, his nostrils were large, his breathing was heavy, and there was a faint fishy smell between his breaths.

This is not a human being at all, it's clearly a zombie.

"Ah!" Cheng Fengyao screamed and struggled desperately, with the iron chain swinging back and forth.

The "zombie" spoke slowly: "Don't move."

His voice was hoarse and mixed with a strange sound, like air leaking from a broken bellows.

Cheng Fengyao's heart was about to jump out of her chest. The more scared she was, the more she couldn't help moving. She wanted to run and struggle.

The "zombie" reached out and held half of her face.

The hand was cold, like a handful of bones, poking Cheng Fengyao's delicate face.

She suddenly shivered.

Tears rolled down her cheeks: "Don't, don't touch me..."

The "zombie" grinned with a strange smile: "This face is just right. The medicine used is just right."

"It's time to cook."

Cheng Fengyao didn't understand, but she felt extremely scared. She watched as the "zombie" picked up a sharp little hook knife with his other hand and moved towards her temple.

"no, do not want."

……

It was already afternoon when Yan Ruyu met Cui Chong.

"The Cheng family's affairs have been recorded in the files. Princess, please take a look."

Yan Ruyu took the booklet and flipped through it. "For those innocent servants, you can ask their family members to come and identify the bodies. If someone comes to identify them, they will be given a compensation. If no one comes to identify them, they will be given a coffin."

"This sum of money can be paid by the palace."

Cui Chong bowed and said, "Princess, Governor Cao has also given instructions that are almost the same as what you said. The Lord said that the money will be paid by the government."

Yan Ruyu didn't comment, nor did she argue: "After the Cheng family's house is cleaned up, you can notify the Cheng family to see if anyone is willing to take over."

"Don't worry, Princess. These matters will be properly arranged."

"I have two more plans here. Take them back and show them to Governor Cao. If he has no objection, we can go through the formalities."

Yan Ruyu handed the plans she had written about the embroidery workshop and the small department store to Cui Chong.

Cui Chong took it, said goodbye and left.

As the sky grew darker, Huo Changhe still did not return.

Yan Ruyu was just about to go to the eldest lady's courtyard when the guard at the door came in to report.

"Princess, there is a man outside. He said his surname is Xiao and he wants to see the prince."

Yan Ruyu immediately thought, could it be Xiao Chiye who came?

Jiang Paopao has been here for more than two days. He said he came here in pursuit of Xiao Chiye, but took the wrong road. This morning, the prince was still talking about why Xiao Chiye had not arrived yet and he was a little worried.

"Quick, ask someone to come to the front hall."

Yan Ruyu returned to the front hall and asked someone to find Jiang Paopao.

Jiang Paopao lived in the mansion with Yinding and others.

When he arrived at the front hall, Xiao Chiye was already standing in the hall.

This was the first time Yan Ruyu met him.

He was tall, about the same height as Huo Changhe, wearing a dark blue brocade robe, with a sword slung at his waist and a small crossbow.

He had his back to the door and when he heard footsteps he turned around to look.

Yan Ruyu raised her eyes and took a closer look. Xiao Chiye had a heroic appearance, thick eyebrows, big eyes, bronze skin, slightly thick lips, and a scar on his lower left jaw.

Seeing Yan Ruyu, Xiao Chiye was also stunned for a moment, then he came back to his senses and bowed his head and saluted: "Excuse me, are you the princess?"

Yan Ruyu nodded: "General Xiao, please take a seat. The prince is not in the palace. He has gone out to do some work and will be back later."

Xiao Chiye still didn't dare to sit down, and bowed his head and said, "It was the end that came so suddenly."

"You're welcome, Grand Commander. Please take a seat. You must have worked hard on the journey."

Yan Ruyu ordered, "Bring tea."

Someone served tea and snacks, placing them one by one on the table next to Xiao Chiye.

Yan Ruyu looked at him. He was dusty and his clothes and boots were covered with dirt. He must have been on the road.

"The Grand Commander..."

Xiao Chiye said quickly: "Princess, you can just call me by my name. I don't deserve the title of Grand Commander."

"You don't have to be so reserved. You are the current Grand Commander. What is there to be afraid of?"

"I heard from Jiang Paopao that you came to Youcheng a few days ago. Why did you arrive only today?"

Hearing this, Xiao Chiye couldn't hide his surprise: "Princess, have you seen Paopao?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a gust of wind blew in from the yard, and Jiang Paopao rushed to Xiao Chiye in the blink of an eye.

"Brother Xiao!"

When Xiao Chiye saw him, he was also surprised and delighted: "You little brat, you actually got here before me. I was really anxious to death."
