No matter how Jiang Qingyi explained, the woman refused to listen. Jiang Qingyi had no choice but to take the opportunity to inquire for information.

"Auntie, where is our village located? Who is the current emperor? Where is the imperial city?"

The woman was confused by Jiang Qingyi's series of questions. She only paid attention to the way Jiang Qingyi addressed her. "What did you call me? Auntie? I'm your real mother!"

Jiang Qingyi spoke again, "I'm really not Ayun."

"No, no, no, you are Ayun. You must have fallen on the mountain. When your father comes back, I will ask him to take you to see Doctor Zhang. Now you just rest well here. Mom will go to make dinner first."

After she said that, she pushed Jiang Qingyi down on the bed without saying a word, not giving her any chance to get up.

Jiang Qingyi was confused. What kind of coincidence was this? Her casually changed appearance turned out to be the same as Ayun mentioned by the woman, otherwise how could she be mistaken for Ayun.

Her current appearance is just a modification of her original beauty, but she is still a beauty overall.

This Ayun, whom I have never met before, should be a very pretty girl. I don’t know where she went.

Jiang Qingyi just came to inquire about the information and had no intention of occupying someone else's identity, so she planned to leave here later.

Not long after, the man of the house must have come back. Jiang Qingyi heard the woman muttering again about Ayun hitting his head and not remembering anything.

Jiang Qingyi couldn't bear to listen any more and pushed the door open and went out.

"Dad, Ayun is out, take her to see him."

The male owner of this house turned out to be a tall man with a lot of muscular body. He didn't look like an ordinary farmer at all.

The first thing he asked when he saw Jiang Qingyi was, "Ayun, where have you been all day?"

Jiang Qingyi's heart choked when she heard this. Well, there is not a single sensible person in this family!

She spoke again, "I am not your daughter Ayun, my name is Jiang Qingyi."

The man said to the woman, "I'd better take Ayun to have a look."

"Yes, yes, you go quickly. I'm so worried about Ayun like this."

Then the man ignored Jiang Qingyi's wishes and said, "Ayun, follow Dad."

Jiang Qingyi's heart softened when she saw the woman's worried expression, and she followed the man out.

After they left the house, the man asked, "Where did you hide my A-Yun?"

Jiang Qingyi stopped and said, "So you knew I'm not."

"Although you look like Ayun, I know you are not her. So, where did you hide Ayun? What is your purpose in coming here?" The man stared at Jiang Qingyi warily.

Jiang Qingyi crossed her arms in front of her chest, and her whole aura instantly rose. "I have never met A Yun. I came here just to get some information."

The man paused for a long time before asking, "What do you want to know?"

"Where is the Imperial City, and who is the current emperor?"

The man frowned when he heard these two questions. "Why are you asking this? Do you know something?"

Jiang Qingyi chuckled, "Know what? You are not an ordinary farmer, or Ayun..."

Before she could finish her words, the man made his move.

Jiang Qingyi pushed the man's fist effortlessly. "Your habit of getting into trouble when you disagree with someone is not good. I am not interested in your identity, and what I am going to do has nothing to do with you."

The man was surprised that Jiang Qingyi could block his full-strength punch, and he didn't even have a chance to attack again.

"Only the dead can keep secrets," he said harshly.

Jiang Qingyi said lightly, "As things stand now, it's not certain who will live and who will die between us."

After she said that, she gently pushed the man's fist away, and he retreated a long way.

"Who are you?" the man asked calmly.

Jiang Qingyi tilted her head and said, "He's just an ordinary person."

"The current emperor, Shangguan Yu, the imperial city is 2,300 miles to the northeast."

Jiang Qingyi nodded. "Why didn't you just say it earlier? Why bother fighting with me? I'll leave first."

The man rushed over to block Jiang Qingyi's way, "No, you can't leave yet."

Jiang Qingyi looked at him with confusion.

"My wife really loves Ayun. She won't be able to bear it if you leave her. Please...please stay until Ayun comes back."

Jiang Qingyi played with her hair and said confidently, "Ayun is not your child. She must be of a very special status, right?"

The man didn't speak.

"It's hard for me to stay here if you don't say anything!"

The man closed his eyes in despair, "Ayun is indeed not my child. She is the daughter of the late Guihui Fei."

Jiang Qingyi was surprised. "You mean Ayun is the emperor's daughter?"

"Yes, this is the biggest secret of my life, please don't tell anyone."

Jiang Qingyi clicked her tongue a few times, "Why did you tell me such a big secret? Aren't you afraid that I'll tell others?"

"So I'm betting you're a good guy."

Jiang Qingyi waved her hand, "Then I'm really not."

"you……"

"But don't worry, I'm really not interested in the royal secrets, but I can help you find Ayun."

"Don't you know where Ayun is?"

"I don't know. Didn't I say I would help you find it? Now, tell me about Ayun's birth date."

The man hesitated and said, "Report one."

Jiang Qingyi looked at him suspiciously, "Are you sure this is Ayun's birth date?"

"Yes."

"Sorry, the person is gone."

"What did you say!"

"If the birth date you gave is correct, the person is already dead."

The man stood there in despair, and after a long while he asked, "Do you know where she is?"

"Follow me." After saying that, Jiang Qingyi turned around and went back up the mountain they came from.

Jiang Qingyi's speed was not very fast, but it was not difficult for the man to keep up with her.

Not long after, Jiang Qingyi took Jiang Qingyi to a trap halfway up the mountain.

"This is it."

The man was terrified and didn't dare to approach the trap.

Jiang Qingyi didn't think too much about it. She just lifted up the messy branches, jumped down and pulled out the person lying inside.

The man sobbed softly after seeing Ayun's body.

Jiang Qingyi was watching calmly from the side, so there was no need for her to say anything to comfort him.

It’s just a pity that such a young girl like Ayun is gone.

Not long after, the man picked up Ayun's body and said, "Go!"

Jiang Qingyi nodded, "Goodbye."

She did not hesitate at all. After all, it was none of her business. Helping to find Ayun's body was already a great act of kindness on her part. She would let the man handle the rest himself.

This time Jiang Qingyi went down the mountain and avoided the village. She left the forest from another direction.

After leaving the forest, Jiang Qingyi headed northeast, her destination being the imperial city.
