“What about my mother?” Yang Ruxin glanced over the dishes—fish, meat, vegetables, and soup—they truly were abundant.

“Du Juan and Yang Miao are with the madam.

Their meals have already been sent over,” Du Man set the chopsticks properly, “However, these dishes were personally selected by Qi Jingyun for the menu…”

Yu Qingge suddenly fell silent.

She was well aware of Qi Jingyun’s thoughts towards Yang Ruxin but also knew those thoughts were not simply of a man’s affection for a woman but had an ulterior motive.

Thus, she chose not to take such matters lightly or jest about them.

“Let’s sit down and eat together,” Yang Ruxin said calmly, “This time, successfully eliminating the river pirates near Jiekou, I certainly played a major role.” Therefore, regardless of what was sent, she accepted it with a peaceful conscience.

“But sister, although you say that…” Yu Qingge still expressed her concerns, “but after all, he is a man of high status and power, if something happens…” she suddenly lowered her voice, “But sister, can’t you consider changing your perspective?

Think about it, he and the Crown Prince are competing for the position, and it’s not sure yet whose hands the deer will fall into.

You might as well…”

“Qingge,” Yang Ruxin gave her a look, her face slightly stern, “Such matters are not to be taken lightly, never think that riding two boats will ensure stability; on the contrary, riding two boats often leads to falling into the water the easiest.

It’s better to stabilize one boat and still have the possibility to reach the shore…”

“It was just a thought, I’m sticking with you.

Whatever you do, I support,” Yu Qingge’s face twisted slightly before she came to a resolve, “Anyway, I can’t understand these things, I am glad that God didn’t leave me alone here.

I don’t want to live through those two years again; I’m not cut out to be a female lead, I’m just right as the sidekick to a female lead.” She said, chuckling, “In this era, don’t think of getting rid of me.

If you prosper, I’ll share the fortunes; if you’re doomed, I’ll accompany you in downfall.

It’s that simple.”

“Thank you for thinking so highly of me,” Yang Ruxin replied, stuffing a piece of braised pork into the other’s mouth, “For your sake, I can’t afford to be unfortunate, can I?”

Yu Qingge nodded, then chewed the meat in her mouth, “It’s not as delicious as when you make it…”

In the following days, although Qi Jingyun showed his care for Yang Ruxin in many ways, he was always polite and never intruded on her uninvited, only sending someone to invite her over for tea twice, but after being refused, he did not ask again.

Thus, Yang Ruxin lived relatively comfortably.

However, Qi Jingrong was no longer on the boat, and it was unclear when he had disembarked.

On the eighth day, the passenger ship finally left Changhuai State and entered Jiaozhou territory, where the water became broader, and the number of waterways connecting canals increased.

Jiaozhou was equivalent to the regions of Jiangsu and Zhejiang in later times, including part of Fujian.

In fact, in later times, this area was still inland, but in this era, Fujian was already a border area of the Great Xuan Dynasty.

Further south was Nanzhao Country, and to the southwest, there was a special area called Miaojiang, filled with vast primitive forests and mountains, making it extremely difficult to penetrate.
