The huge ship approached.

Ripples appeared on the vast water surface.

"Stop the ship in front!" A sharp voice came from the bow.

Yu Caiwei raised her eyebrows.

I saw a group of people emerging on the deck of the ship, all wearing the same Feiyu uniforms, they were government officials.

Yu Caiwei felt a little relieved.

"That's great, he's someone from the government!" the bodyguard next to him said thankfully.

"Who is that in front?" the person at the opposite helm suddenly asked.

Yu Caiwei glanced at Manager Liu, who understood and immediately said, "We are a merchant ship of the Liang family in Qinghe. We encountered bandits on the way and have just cleared them out."

"The Liang Family of Qinghe?" The man seemed to be thinking about something.

The sound from the other end suddenly fell silent, and he turned back to the cabin.

After a few breaths, a figure stood on the deck.

The river breeze was icy cold, and a gaze as scorching as the sun hanging overhead suddenly fell on Yu Caiwei. The moment their eyes met, Yu Caiwei's mind went blank for a moment.

The man was wearing a light black fox fur coat, his skin was as white as snow, but his brows were as cold as snow, his facial features were handsome yet majestic, just like the endless wind, which made him feel cold all over.

She has thick eyelashes, thin lips, and eyes as clear as crystal. She looks at Yu Caiwei as if she can see through life and death.

Xiao Cheng...

Yu Caiwei suddenly seemed to hear the thunderstorm before death, and a thorn suddenly pierced her heart.

"It's you."

That cold voice carried a certain degree of certainty.

Xiao Cheng glanced at her face, suppressed his slightly faster heartbeat, and said in a cold voice, "Why did you run to Liangzhou instead of staying in Bianjing to get married?"

After these words were spoken, everyone was slightly stunned.

Manager Liu immediately looked at Yu Caiwei, his expression clearly saying, "Miss, do you know this official?"

Of course Yu Caiwei knew him. They had been married for ten years and suffered many years, all because of this man.

But right now, she and he were just a married couple who had met once.

Her fingers were clenched until they turned white, and she suppressed her bloody hatred, but she said, "I should be the one asking this question, Prince. Why did you come to Liangzhou instead of recuperating in Bianjing?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone understood.

It seems that this person is Xiao Cheng, the prince of Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion, who has recently been engaged to the young lady.

But why does the atmosphere look like that of an engaged couple? Instead, they seem like enemies?

Xiao Cheng glanced indifferently at the stubborn little face. She was not as young as Yu Caiwei ten years later. At this moment, her eyebrows and eyes were still immature and green, but the dazzling light in her eyes was still there, just like when she first married into the Marquis' Mansion.

In the years that followed, he watched the light in her eyes wither and die.

He couldn't say how he felt about Yu Caiwei.

She is indeed a qualified wife.

He considers himself a heartless person.

But when he saw her body lying in the coffin, he felt the long-lost emotional fluctuations. In the five years after her death, he dreamed of her almost every night. He was only one step away from taking her back to the Marquis' Mansion, but she left first.

Later, his headache became more and more serious, and he could only rely on taking Wu Shi San to suppress the pain.

The more he used it, the more often he dreamed of Yu Caiwei. All the details that had been hidden in his memory for years came back to him, and the more he recalled, the deeper the pain became.

He couldn't understand why he dreamed of Yu Caiwei, and why he was in so much pain that he couldn't sleep at night.

Now that they met again, he was actually a little happy...?

He suppressed his emotions and said in a calm voice, "I am here to investigate the case under the order of the Emperor." After a moment's hesitation, he added, "What about you?"

Yu Caiwei didn't expect him to answer. After all, when they were married in the previous life, he rarely told her, let alone his whereabouts. Even if he didn't go home for ten days or half a month, he wouldn't write a letter. Now, logically, he should think that she was the one who gave him the drug, and he should be almost unfriendly to her.

Yu Caiwei replied calmly, "My brother and sister-in-law just returned to Bianjing, and I came here specially to pick them up. I encountered pirates on the way, and that's what happened."

"Water bandits?" Xiao Cheng's eyes turned colder. He wanted to ask her if she was okay, but the words came to his lips and he said, "Are there any casualties?"

Yu Caiwei no longer had the patience to communicate with him. After all, the things he did in his previous life were still fresh in her mind. She was already considerate of her tolerance for not killing him.

Yu Caiwei suppressed her annoyance and said, "It's okay. The prince is on official business, so we shouldn't bother him. We will report it to the authorities later."

A hint of coldness flashed across Xiao Cheng's eyes.

Emotions welled up, but when it came to my lips, I could only say "hmm."

She didn't answer.

Xiao Cheng wanted to say something, but after a while he finally came up with this sentence, "I have agreed to the marriage, and the wedding date is set for the second half of the year."

Yu Caiwei's knuckles turned white.

Poor breathing.

wedding date?

She won't marry him.

Even if she became a Taoist nun in this life, she would never marry Xiao Cheng again and make the same mistake a second time.

She smiled, and no one noticed the coldness in her eyes. "Everything is decided by the family."

Xiao Cheng glanced at her and said, "I'll send someone to escort you back."

Yu Caiwei neither agreed nor refused.

Xiao Cheng still needs her dowry now, so he would never harm her.

There are many pirates here, and everyone around Xiao Cheng is an expert, so it is naturally a good thing to have their protection.

Waiting for Xiao Cheng's ship to sail away.

The coldness in Yu Caiwei's eyes dropped to the bottom of her eyes.

An escort immediately stepped forward and said, "Miss, I noticed that these pirates all have tattoos on their bodies. They don't look like ordinary pirates, but more like people from some martial arts sects."

Yu Caiwei was stunned.

A gangster?

Something flashed through Yu Caiwei's mind.

It turned out that it was not unexpected that her brother and sister encountered pirates.

Was it Yu Caijiao, Liu, the old lady who never showed off, or her partial good father?

Yu Caiwei closed her eyes, and scenes from her past life kept replaying in her mind.

No matter who they are, she will make them pay the price one by one.

Yu Caiwei calmed herself down and walked towards a pirate lying on the ground without hesitation.

The long sword in her hand gently lifted the man's clothes, revealing the tattoo on his left shoulder.

Sure enough, there was a pattern there, complex and mysterious, which she had never seen before. She carefully observed the style of the tattoo, not missing any detail, trying to find clues from it.

After noting down the style of the tattoo, Yu Caiwei had a plan in mind. She planned to return to Bian Jing and find some people who were familiar with the world to inquire about the origin of the tattoo.

However, her thoughts turned and she suddenly realized that there was a ready-made gangster here.

So she turned to the escort beside her and ordered: "Go and ask Manager Liu to come over." Manager Liu was an old man in the Longhu Escort Agency. He had traveled all over the country for many years and had rich experience and a wide range of knowledge.

He should have some knowledge of the various sects and symbols in the martial arts world.

Manager Liu was busy cleaning up the damage on the ship. When he heard Yu Caiwei's call, he immediately put down his work and ran over in a hurry.
