After following Xue Duan Sheng here for so long, she had never once forgotten about the Nine-Eyed Sky Pearl. Right now, Xue Luoyun was definitely a person of the Prince. If this Xue Lian was gone, he was counting on the day when he would be able to turn the situation around, and he might even hand over the Nine-Eyed Heaven Pearl to him.

Xue Shaoli began to scheme.

It was an unusual night for it to rain in the hot county of Clear Water. The rain took away the long heat and everyone slept soundly. By the time Xue Ruyun woke up, the sun had already set.

Xue Luoyun walked to the front of the courtyard and stretched his back.

"Miss, you've woken up. This servant will get you some water to wash your face." Yun Zhi said as she dried her clothes.

"Why didn't you wake me up?" Xue Luoyun rebuked.

"I saw that Miss was tired these past few days and didn't sleep well due to the hot weather. Last night, it took some time to cool down, so I let Miss sleep a little more." Yun Zhi brought over some water to wash her face. She pinched the handkerchief and handed it to Xue Ruoyun.

"Where's Mu Ying and the rest?" Xue Luoyun looked at the empty courtyard.

"The Prince and the others went to help the people dig ditches again."

"He really is cold on the outside but hot on the inside." Thinking about Mu Ying, Xue Ruyun began to laugh.

After Xue Ruyun finished washing his face and rinsing his mouth, he prepared to go find Mu Ying. From afar, he saw an extremely noble looking woman hastily walking over to them. When she focused her eyes, she realized it was Mrs Zhao.

This was strange. Mrs Zhao always hated Xue Ruyun to death. During the days that Xue Ruoyun lived in the county magistrate, she hated him to the extreme. She had distanced herself from him like a god of pests, so why did she take the initiative to visit today?

As he watched Madame Zhao gradually approach, her hateful face becoming more and more distinct, he began to feel annoyed. "Wuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuu ~ ~ ~" He was worried that she might be here to cause trouble again.

She quickly retreated back into the room. "Yun Zhi, if she comes looking for me, go and get her. It's fine if you just say that I'm not here." Xue Luoyun didn't want to waste any more time with her.

As expected, Mrs Zhao rushed in front of Yun Zhi and asked: "Is your Miss here?"

"What's the matter, Madam? The Miss has already left." Yun Zhi said indifferently.

"Aiya, what should we do?" Where is he going? "Quickly get her back." Mrs Zhao grabbed Yun Zhi's clothes and shouted anxiously.

"Let go of me." Yun Zhi's heart was filled with hatred, so she didn't hold back.

Unexpectedly, when Mrs Zhao saw her attitude, she did not get angry this time. Instead, she sat on the ground and wailed like a shrew, "What should we do? "What should we do?"

"Ahh, what are you doing? I didn't touch you. Madam, don't wrongly accuse me." Yun Zhi quickly distanced herself, afraid that Mrs Zhao would try to frame her.

At this moment, the surrounding people, seeing the commotion, also surrounded the two and pointed at them.

"What's wrong? What do you want to do?! " Xue Ruyun saw Mrs Zhao throwing a tantrum inside, but Yun Zhi was unable to deal with it. Seeing that more and more people were surrounding them, he quickly walked out and impatiently asked.

"Aiya, you little slut …" Mo Yun, Mother has found you! Quickly save your two younger sisters! " When Mrs Zhao saw Xue Ruoyun coming out of the house, she gave Yun Zhi a hateful look and hurriedly walked forward. She tightly held onto Xue Ruoyun, as if she was afraid that she would run away.

"What do you mean and what are you talking about?" Xue Ruyun was always afraid of being bitten by snakes, so he was especially careful at the moment.

Mrs Zhao and her two daughters were the most adept at acting. Ever since Xue Ruoyun's arrival, they had often plotted against them. Thus, Xue Ruyun hid herself far away from them, making it impossible for them to see her clearly. Now that she had come to find her, she had no choice but to be on her guard.

"It's your two little sisters! They were captured, go save them!" Mrs Zhao forcefully pulled her, crying as she walked out.

The surrounding people didn't understand, and one by one, they began to criticize Xue Luoyun for being cold-blooded and heartless.

"What? Let go of me, speak clearly." Xue Ruyun was skeptical, so she shook off her hand and asked.

Wu wu wu … Mrs Zhao could only weep silently.

"This morning, when the maidservants saw that the two misses had not woken up yet, they went to call for them. I didn't expect to see the two misses no longer in their rooms when we opened the door." Seeing Madame Zhao's grief and incoherent speech, the servant girl, Red Sleeve, quickly spoke up for her.

"Since the two aren't in the room, then should we go somewhere else to look?" Hearing her words, Xue Ruoyun felt that the situation was getting serious. During this time, the disappearance of the people in the city had only been quiet for a few days.

"I've already searched the entire county magistrate court, but I didn't find anything."

"Did you go outside?"

"I've also looked for them. I've already checked the places they usually go. No, there's no one there."

"Did something really happen?" Xue Ruyun suspiciously looked at Mrs Zhao, only to see that she was continuously sobbing, and didn't seem like she was lying.

However, Xue Ruyun still couldn't believe it. Weren't Xue Shaoli suspected of being a traitor from a cult? How come she was taken away as well?

Could it be that she had found the wrong person and suspected the wrong person? Or could it be that this was a method for her to clear her suspicions? If she wanted to clear the suspect and pretend to be caught, why was it that even Xue Lian painting was taken away?

For a moment, Xue Luoyun couldn't make heads or tails of it.

"What are you hesitating for? How many sisters can there be in this life? If you had gone a little later, something would have happened to them." Mrs Zhao complained as she cried.

Those words instantly stirred up everyone's fury. The people who didn't understand the reason started whispering to one another, and they were all pointing at Xue Luoyun, saying that she didn't care about family love.

She didn't expect Mrs Zhao to be so despicable. She had clearly come to beg for her help, yet she had purposely said something that reversed the truth. It was truly despicable to let the public's opinion drive her to help.

"You … Miss, look at her … " Seeing everyone like this, Yun Zhi was so angry that she wanted to argue.

Xue Ruyun stopped Yun Zhi and walked over to Mrs Zhao. She stared into Mrs Zhao's eyes and angrily looked at her before suddenly sneering.

Since Mrs Zhao had deliberately brought her down, there was no need for her to leave any face for her.

"Hmph, there are indeed not many sisters like this. Just these two already caused me a lot of trouble. If there were one or two more, I'm afraid I wouldn't even have the life to sit here. When you were in the capital, you persecuted me three times. When I was exiled, I sold my things all the way for you to squander. You were ungrateful, of course. On the Pirates' Island, I risked my life to save you, and was captured by the pirates. But what have you done to me? I don't care if I have to turn around and run, it doesn't matter if I don't have a single word of thanks, I actually shamelessly went around slandering me and ruined my innocence.

Hearing Xue Luoyun's clear accusation, the people who had been reprimanding him immediately understood the truth. After knowing the Zhao family's character, they instead reprimanded them for doing such dirty things.

"This kind of ungrateful person, it's fine if he dies, there's no need to lend a helping hand." Everyone cursed at the Zhao family for a while and then dispersed.

After Lady Zhao was exposed, she was furious and furious, but there was nothing she could do. Right now, both of her daughters were being taken away, and they were on the verge of death. Xue Duan Sheng had not found out about this case in such a long time, so there was no hope for him to rely on it.

She knew his ability and courage. She knew that only by relying on him, the prince behind her, would she be able to save her two daughters. Thus, right now, he couldn't care about that much. He shamelessly came to request Xue Ruoyun's help.

Xue Ruyun sat on the stone bench. Although his teeth were itching from hatred towards the things that the Zhao family did before, he had warned himself more than once not to be soft-hearted towards them.

But right now, the evil school was rampant, and the two of them didn't even have the strength to tie up a chicken. If they were truly taken away, then when Xue Muyun thought of the corpses that were previously, he couldn't help being a bit worried.

"What happened before was my fault. Please, adults, don't remember this lowly person, quickly go save them." Although she didn't have a good character, but in the hearts of her parents, Mrs Zhao was willing to do anything for her daughter.

Seeing Madame Zhao speak to him in such a humble manner, Xue Ruoyun couldn't bear to see this. Sometimes, they were still envious of Xue Shaoli and the others. Although they had committed many evil deeds, their mother had always protected them.

"If my birth mother was here, I'm afraid she would love me too." Xue Luoyun was sorrowful.

"Your father has already sent someone to investigate this morning. Go and help him." Seeing that Xue Ruyun was slightly shaken, Madame Zhao brought out Xue Duan Sheng.

"Fine, I'll go with you and take a look. If I find out that you're up to something, I won't let you off!"

When Xue Ruyun thought about how this matter was serious, he didn't know that the two sisters were involved, but it concerned the entire city. This time the cult came out again, it was a good opportunity for him to investigate, so he nodded in agreement.

"That's great. Let's go." When Madame Zhao saw that Xue Ruyun agreed to it, she dried her tears. Without caring about dusting herself, she pulled Xue Ruyun and prepared to leave.

"Ah, miss, don't go!" Seeing that Xue Ruyun was about to leave, Yun Zhi pulled her in front of her.

"What's wrong?" Xue Ruyun looked at Yun Zhi.

"Oh, miss, come here." When Yun Zhi saw Mrs Zhao, she pulled Xue Muyun to the side, making it difficult for her to speak.

"Miss, could this be another conspiracy of theirs? Haven't you been killed enough? " Yun Zhi alertly warned Xue Ruoyun. After so many years, she had personally seen Madame Zhao and the others frame Xue Ruoyun time and time again. So much so that her heart was in shadow.

Xue Ruyun's heart was too kind, and Yun Zhi had no choice but to remind her.

Xue Ruyun hesitated for a bit. Looking at Zhao Si's expression, the panic and despair in his eyes shouldn't be fake. She patted Yun Zhi's hand and said, "I don't think she is pretending. Don't worry, I'm just going to check. I don't want to be impulsive, I know what I'm doing."

"But... You said you wouldn't care about what they did to you before, so why are you saving them now? "Why take the risk?" Yun Zhi was still worried as she mumbled.
