But unfortunately, they were not people in the industry, so their status would always be lower.

Zhong Ruqin was the eldest daughter of the Zhong family. She was already married to a court official.

However, he did not expect that on the night of his marriage, before he could even have time to consummate his marriage, the court official died.

After the coroner’s examination, he found out that she had died because of a rapid heartbeat. The specific situation was that when she took off the veil, she saw Zhong Ruqin’s face.

From then on, the official’s family thought that Zhong Ruqin was an ominous thing and chased her out of the house.

When Zhong Ruqin returned home, she was also burdened by the responsibilities of her family, but she did not take it seriously.

Because she was married before, she still tied her hair up high even though she had never had sex.

After being criticized by her family, she started a business.

Once, twice, thrice, and thrice, he actually did it well. He turned all the previous accusations into smoke and became the pillar of the family.

To be honest, in Xu Bai’s eyes, Zhong Ruqin was indeed beautiful.

She had long black hair, almond-shaped eyes, cloud-like eyebrows, and a mouth like a cherry blossom.

Just those flowing eyes alone were enough to make people feel relaxed and happy. Coupled with that mature temperament, it was even more irresistible.

It was very moist, really moist.

Xu Bai took a few more glances, then took out a book and started reading.

Since he had stopped, he did not ask, because he would get the answer soon. As expected, Zhong Ruqin slowly spoke after she got down.

Her voice was very soft and gentle, sounding mature in his ears.

Once they were far away, no one could hear them, but Xu Bai could hear them clearly with his strength.

“It’s too late, even walking on the official road is very dangerous. When I was doing business in the past, there was an old and shabby courtyard in front of me, which was just right for me to rest.”

Zhong Ruqin said this to a martial artist beside her. She had hired many martial artists to protect this business trip.

The martial artist nodded. After cupping his fists, he slowly opened his mouth and repeated what he had said.

When the person in the trade spoke, his voice naturally traveled far and everyone heard it.

The people present did not refuse. After all, they were all ordinary people, and safety was their top priority.

Xu Bai felt that he couldn’t act weird, so he followed behind.

The convoy slowly set off again, walking on the dark road. The moonlight shone down, acting as the only source of light.

After walking for about an hour, a dilapidated courtyard appeared in front of them.

The courtyard was really dilapidated. From the outside, it looked like it had been abandoned for many years. Under the moonlight, only half of the door was left.

Zhong Ruqin sat in the carriage and led the way. When they reached their destination, the carriage stopped.

A servant boy placed a stool on the ground. Zhong Ruqin held onto the edge of the carriage and stepped carefully on the stool before she got off.

The soft voice sounded again.

“This is the place where I have stayed many times. I can be considered to be able to survive tonight and avoid the threat of wolves, tigers, and leopards.”

Everyone nodded. It was already good enough to have a place to stay in this desolate mountain. Although it was impossible for so many people to live there, at least it was not in the forest.

Then, everyone walked in and formed groups of twos and threes, starting bonfires.

The courtyard was not big and there were too many people.

The servants, coachmen, and even the hired workers were guarding outside, guarding the goods or doing other things.

Xu Bai followed him in and found a corner to sit down. He didn’t join the others.

“Little brother, why don’t you find a room?” Qian Lai came over again.”

The courtyard was still quite empty. There was no roof tile on his head. If he entered the room, he could at least feel some warmth.

Xu Bai shook his head and declined politely. His gaze shifted to Zhong Ruqin.

Zhong Ruqin was wearing an emerald green cloak that tightly wrapped around her curvaceous figure. However, the curve of her waist could be seen as she walked.

She didn’t go with these people. Instead, she walked into the largest room.

No one present said anything. After all, they were all brought here by others. Moreover, in terms of who was rich, the Zhong family was indeed rich. No one would offend them. After all, there was no benefit to offend them.

Qian Lai also noticed Xu Bai’s gaze and thought that he had some dirty thoughts. He couldn’t help but laugh.”With Little Brother’s appearance, if you can marry into the Zhong Family, then even if you marry a widow, you will be able to have a smooth journey.”

“You’re thinking too much,” Xu Bai said.

These four simple words made him stop talking.

Qian Lai was not interested, so he did not say anything more. He returned to his seat, leaned against the wall, and closed his eyes to sleep.

Xu Bai didn’t sleep. He took out the book he got from the trevally and read it slowly.

He couldn’t read the words in the book. It was the words in the ruins, but it didn’t stop the progress bar from increasing.

The progress bar slowly increased. The moonlight became brighter and brighter, but the darkness became thicker and thicker.

In the largest room, the door was tightly shut, and a dim light was lit.

Under the light of the lamp, a shadow was cast on the window of the door.
