Mu Qing was shocked, she pulled Duan Xiaohe's hand that was holding onto the man's collar and asked coldly: "Do you want to die?"

It was then that Duan Xiaohe took a good look at Mu Qing. Even though she had changed into a female attire, she could still recognize him at a glance. Ever since Qin Rui had brought her back, she would always dream about the scene of the handsome young master on horseback bringing her to the pit of the dead, to find Liu San.

That face, she would never be able to forget it in her entire life.

"I remember you. Back then, when I went to Fringe City, you were the one who chased me out of the military camp. It was you who told me to go find someone in the pit of the dead." He clearly didn't die, why did you lie to me! "

The man suddenly raised his head to look at Mu Qing, his eyes cold and sharp. Mu Qing pursed her lips and smiled, calmly looking at Duan Xiaohe.

"Then ask him, is his name Liu San?"

The man slightly clenched his fist. My surname is Wen, not Liu "

Duan Xiaohe's heart was stifled, "You're lying!"

The only thing that could be seen from the mask was a pair of open eyes. "My surname is indeed Wen."

She ground the back of her teeth and said word by word, "Then why don't you dare show your face? "Since your surname is Wen and you're not someone I'm looking for, why should I be afraid of seeing your face?"

The man surnamed Wen stayed silent for a moment before taking off his mask. Mu Qing raised her hand and buckled back the mask, and directly threw some silver on the table, then shouted to the man to leave.

Duan Xiaohe reached out to grab it, but the man's body flashed, and when she looked at the two hands that were grabbing the air, she felt that her heart was also empty.

Old man Duan ran out with a protective posture.

"What is it? They dare to bully you? "

Little Yixiu was so scared that he hugged Duan Xiaohe's leg tightly, while secretly sizing up the man.

Before, he only felt that he was familiar, but now, at a close distance, he felt that this child was somewhat similar to him. Thinking about how his daughter-in-law forced him to hehe heh heh heh right before he left, the man felt a surge of joy in his heart. Could it be that this child was his?

"What are you waiting for? Get on the horse!"

The man looked at his wife deeply, clenched his teeth and mounted his horse, then followed Mu Qing and left.

"My daughter?"

Father Duan looked at her worriedly. Who would have thought that Duan Xiaohe would actually break away from Little Yixiu's hands and give chase just like that. The little fellow felt that she had been abandoned by others. It raised its head in grievance and started crying. It hurriedly hugged its father to coax him.

Lady Wang shook his head, saying that this was not his own body, that he was so pampered every day that he couldn't even leave his body, could he still take it in the future?

Duan Xiaohe chased after her, but she rode on a horse, so she relied on her two legs. Although she had paid for a road on the hillside that would make it easier for rich people to pass carriages, at the moment, she would rather that the road was rough and could only accommodate one or two people.

Perhaps this way, she would be able to catch up to him.

The man's surname was Wen?

Who would believe it!

The little guy was still crying when he saw her return. He stuck his head into her embrace and tightly held onto her clothes, hugging her neck, afraid that she would leave.

When Old Man Duan asked her what was going on, she shook her head. Old Man Duan got anxious and shook his head without saying a word. Then, she replied, "I don't know."

That day, she brought her studies back home. Her mind was in a mess. All these years, she had always believed that the Liu San was still alive and had never given up on him. The man she saw today confirmed her suspicions.

However, if he was a Liu San, why would he wear a mask? Why didn't he come and recognize me?

Duan Xiaohe pondered about it for a long time before she suddenly recalled Old Man Duan's words. He said that Mu Jue had a younger sister who had always been in the army.

At this time, General Mu was already heading towards the capital, and the man was with Mu Qing, which meant that they were going there too.

Dammit!

Wasn't her family in the capital!?

Duan Xiaohe first made a trip to the Old Man Liu's side and paid for the Widow Li to take care of him. She wanted to go to the capital for a few days. The Widow Li still had some complaints, saying that since it was spring, and Liu Er was not at home, he still had to take care of the elderly and children, where would he have the time to take care of Liu Da, who only knew how to run towards the grave.

Only when she had taken out more silver did Widow Li reluctantly agree.

"It's not that I'm too mean or petty, it's just that I really can't take care of it. Although Liu Er managed to earn some money now, that land in his home cannot be destroyed. "

Duan Xiaohe carried Little Yixiu and took out two taels of silver. I know, that's why big brother has troubled you. "

Old Man Liu's body had gradually become weak in the past two years. As long as his feet touched the ground, he would need to use a walking stick. When she heard that he was going to the capital, she used her walking stick to move over step by step.

"You want to take your child to the capital?"

She nodded and Old Man Liu's face immediately fell, "How young is this child? If you want to go, go by yourself. Let the child go, I'll watch. "

Widow Li had a real headache for this brat. He had been spoiled by Duan Xiaohe since he was young, and he was the great darling grandson of Old Man Liu. If it were here, she wouldn't be able to find it.

"Dad, this child isn't young anymore. Wherever he goes, Little He will ride in a carriage. I'm on a comfortable road."

"Shut up!"

The Old Man Liu's face was ashen, "How much can a child eat? Didn't Little He already give him money? That much is not enough for you to spend? "

Widow Li's face was also ugly, but he did not dare refute him. She could only bite her lips and stand there while feeling wronged and weak.

It was not the time for him to be pregnant, so how could Old Man Liu continue eating like this? In the blink of an eye, he saw the timid Little Ruixue standing beside him, and his heart softened.

"Jianxiu, come here to grandpa. grandpa will buy you something nice to eat, and you can even play with elder sister."

The little guy pulled Duan Xiaohe's sleeves and shook his head, raising his head, begging her to bring him along.

Duan Xiaohe also didn't feel at ease leaving the little fellow here. She knew that the Widow Li wouldn't be able to take care of this child, and furthermore, she knew how mischievous this brat was.

No one but her could handle this kid.

"Forget it, his skin really doesn't look good. I think it's better if I take him away. He's only been gone for a few days, so he'll be back soon."

After giving out the instructions, she took her child and went out. Just as she arrived at the entrance of the village, she met Qin Rui who was rushing back.

Seeing her like she was about to leave, Qin Rui had a rough idea of what was going on, but he still asked her: "Where are you going?"

"To Beijing."

Duan Xiaohe circled around him, but her path was once again blocked.

"Why are you going to Beijing?"

She looked at Qin Rui and coldly asked: "You said that Liu San is dead? "Is he really dead, or are you lying to me?"

Even though Qin Rui's expression was still normal after three years, when she asked this question again, he was already panicking in his heart.

"The news I heard is indeed dead, what good would it do if I lied to you?"

"Three years!" Isn't three years the period you speak of? "

Qin Rui smiled, "So you still remembered, I almost forgot. "Back then, you said that you didn't have that intention, and I just said it casually. I didn't expect you to misunderstand me because of this."

She was startled for a moment and felt a bit awkward. As long as it wasn't the case. "Don't block the way, I'm going to Beijing."

He was still stubbornly in front of her. She moved to the left, he to the left, she to the back, and he to the right.

"Why did you stop me from going to the capital? Are you afraid that I will expose your lies?"

Qin Rui frowned, and looked at him silently for a while.

"Liu San is dead, why are you still unable to accept this fact? "So what if you go to the capital? The result will still be the same."

He stepped aside and said, "I have to remind you with good intentions, Mu Jue is the empress dowager's nephew. He's in the limelight right now, and it's time for everyone to curry favor with him. He was clearly a person of the little emperor, but in private, it was hard to say what sort of shady business he had. As long as you enter the capital, don't you worry about your life being lost? "

Duan Xiaohe was shocked.

These few years, her life had been too peaceful and comfortable, making her forget about what had happened to the empress dowager. Although the empress dowager had been placed under house arrest by the little emperor, Liu Yang had never dared to make a move against the empress dowager's family in order to weigh the pros and cons. She had heard the Little County Princess mention it half a year ago, saying that the empress dowager's family was ready to make a move.

With great difficulty, Liu Yang managed to stabilize the situation. If she recklessly barged into the capital, would it really disturb the deep water of the capital?

Duan Xiaohe clenched her teeth, if that man was really Liu San, then what if she really lost her head after going into the capital, wouldn't that make it easier for Mu Qing? definitely had something to do with the Liu San, if not he would not have lied to her like this when she rushed to Fringe City.

She could not go to the capital, but she could find Qian Qiaoqiao! Qian Qiaoqiao had a lot of connections, he would definitely be able to help her find some information. No matter how incompetent she was, it was still convenient for him to send her a letter and ask Little County Princess about it.

She rushed to Qinghe County City without stopping, hugged the little guy and rushed to Jade Food Inn. Qian Qiaoqiao was busy working in the tavern, and was very happy to see her carrying the child over.

Duan Xiaohe went straight to the point and explained everything clearly. Qian Qiaoqiao looked as if she had seen a ghost, "Didn't you already go to Fringe City to check? Are you possessed? Or is she possessed? "

She knew that no one would believe her, so she grinded her teeth and said, "Then I'll write a letter and you help me deliver it to Mo Jinyuan's residence in the capital."

Halfway through the letter, she tore it up again. After sending the child to Qian Qiaoqiao, he said: "You are her grandmother, he is also close to you, you must take good care of him. "I'm afraid I'll have to make a trip to the capital myself."
