In the end, not only did she not earn any money, but the pot lady also offended many people because of this. From then on, the potter did not want to sell her anymore. After the pot lady was criticized, she came back and beat up the strange woman to vent her anger.

What was strange was that she did not resist the beatings even though she was clearly very skilled. It was only today that she took the initiative to run outside.

But now that the pot lady had gone out to do something, they didn’t dare to let her go just like that.

Since they couldn’t bring the strange woman back, it would be easier for them to report it to the pot lady if they could exchange her for some money, right?

Shen Yijia was silent. She had seen many crazy people, and it could be said that she knew them better than anyone else. She had never seen anyone so obsessed with something.

Shen Yijia was slightly touched, so she finally spent thirty taels to buy the strange woman. However, she did not intend to care about her anymore.

After paying, she turned around and left. As expected, the woman followed her.

In the inn, Rooster looked at the woman who followed Shen Yijia in with a dumbfounded expression. This person looked even worse than he did when he had just come out of the dungeon.

It was a miracle that the innkeeper did not stop her from entering.

Shen Yijia felt helpless. Although she had guessed that she would be pestered, she didn’t expect the strange woman to be so persistent.

Shen Yijia brought her back to her room and asked the waiter to get a large bucket of hot water. She then asked Rooster to buy two sets of men’s clothes for her. She looked at the woman solemnly and asked, “You’ll bathe yourself, right? After that, I’ll treat you to a meal at most. Then, you can leave quickly. I’m really not your Young Miss.”

The woman glanced at Shen Yijia and nodded expressionlessly. She opened her mouth for a long time before saying, “Not… Young Miss.”

“Yes, I’m not your Young Miss.” It was good that she could understand human language. Shen Yijia heaved a sigh of relief.

“Yes… Young Miss.”

Shen Yijia held her forehead.

Shen Yijia felt that she must be crazy to communicate with someone who was suspected to be a lunatic, just like before she met Da Hua in her previous life.

To show that she wasn’t a lunatic, she decisively gave up.

Fortunately, apart from recognizing the wrong person, this person knew how to do everything else. When she came out of the shower, Shen Yijia and Rooster’s jaws dropped again.

The woman’s black hair was draped over her shoulders, and there was a mole at the corner of her eye. Perhaps because she had always been injured and had lost too much blood, and because she was malnourished, her small face was slightly pale. This made her bright facial features give off a different feeling. Coupled with her expressionless face, she was like a white lotus on a mountain peak.

If not for the fact that she was certain that only the three of them entered the room, Shen Yijia would not have believed that this was the person who had followed her back.

“Let’s eat first.” Shen Yijia blinked and gestured for her to sit down.

Most importantly, she was hungry too.

The woman sat down expressionlessly and picked up her bowl and chopsticks to eat. Her movements were neither fast nor slow. It was obvious that she had been taught. The rules seemed to be carved into her bones. There was no trace of pretense, as if this was how it should be.

Shen Yijia and Rooster frowned. Could this be a spy planted by someone?

Ever since her conversation with Madam Li, Shen Yijia did not understand anything else, but she understood one thing. There were too many people who wanted to harm her beautiful husband. As the person closest to him, she had to be vigilant at all times to prevent herself from dragging him down.

Therefore, Shen Yijia would never allow herself to make such a mistake.

She slammed her chopsticks on the table. The woman immediately put down her chopsticks and stood up straight. Her movements were clean and decisive.

Looking at her face, which had never changed expression since she saw her, Shen Yijia wondered if this person would smile.

However, this was not the time to dwell on this. She looked at the woman with a straight face and said each word slowly, “Who are you?”

The woman seemed to think about it seriously before calmly saying, “Mo Yuan.”

Shen Yijia’s head hurt. She wasn’t trying to ask for her name.

There was no point in asking like this. She decided to be direct. “Why are you following me?”

“You… my… Young Miss,” Mo Yuan replied.

Shen Yijia exploded. She wanted to pick this person up and throw her out, but she shouted, “I said I’m not.”

Mo Yuan said, “You are.”

Perhaps because she had said a few more words, she could now say two words without stopping. However, Shen Yijia was not in the mood to pay attention to this at all.

She stood up and grabbed Mo Yuan’s collar.

“Young… Master, Master, don’t be rash. Listen to me first.” Rooster quickly comforted Shen Yijia.

Shen Yijia rolled her eyes. “If you have something to say, say it quickly.”

“I think this person might…” Rooster pointed at his head. “There’s something wrong here.”

After saying that, he glanced at Mo Yuan and pulled Shen Yijia’s sleeve to the side to mutter for a long time.

Shen Yijia frowned and sat back down. “Let’s eat.”

Mo Yuan immediately sat down as if she had received an order. Everything that had happened just now did not seem to affect her at all. When she raised her hand to pick up some food, she revealed a wrist. The red marks on it were especially obvious, especially the new wounds that had yet to scab. The wounds were still bleeding since they were soaked in water recently.

However, she did not seem to show any pain on her face. There were probably injuries in more places that she could not see.

After dinner, Shen Yijia gloomily took out a bottle of ointment from her bag and threw it to her. She said coldly, “Apply the ointment yourself.”

With that, she went downstairs and booked another room.

She had a feeling that Mo Yuan’s appearance would disrupt her current life. Therefore, although Rooster had told her to stay by her side and observe her secretly, she still didn’t want to bring her along.

This intuition was innate, just like how she couldn’t tell anyone about the spiritual liquid in her previous life. Although she might not understand why at that time, she still followed her intuition.

When everyone fell asleep in the dead of night, Shen Yijia, who was lying on the bed, suddenly opened her eyes. Her eyes were clear, and she did not look like she had just woken up.

She quietly lifted the blanket and got out of bed. She simply packed her luggage.

Rooster was sleeping soundly when he sensed that something was staring at him. He suddenly opened his eyes. A black shadow by the bed shocked him so much that his heart skipped a beat. He opened his mouth and almost cried out. Fortunately, he stopped himself in time.

Because he had already seen the shadow’s raised hand.

Satisfied with his reaction, Shen Yijia retracted her hand awkwardly and gestured at Rooster. The latter was stunned for a moment before nodding.

After the two of them came out of the room, they went to the horse shed and brought out the two horses. After walking for a distance, Rooster dared to ask, “Young Madam…”

As soon as he said that, Shen Yijia glanced at him.

Rooster quickly changed his words. “Master, where are we going?”

“Let’s find a place near the city gate to stay for half a night. We’ll leave the city once the city gate opens at dawn.” After saying that, Shen Yijia got on her horse and rode towards the city gate.

She even left five taels of silver on the table. As long as Mo Yuan wasn’t too stupid, she would be able to use it for a while.

Shen Yijia felt that she had done enough for a stranger, so she left without any burden in her heart.
