That night, Xiaowan was completely drunk, and did not dare to feed Little Pei milk the next day, so her son was obedient and did not make a fuss. However, she pouted her lips and stared angrily at Xiaowan, as if she was her father.

When both Xiaowan and Lian Yi came back to their senses, it was already noon. After half a day of searching, they walked downstairs and saw Uncle Biao returning from the mighty escort company.

The Uncle Biao sighed, saying that after the brothers from the escort company in the capital received the news, they had helped them search the capital area, but they did not find any trace of Ershan.

They didn't want to see anyone die like this, but what they were most worried about was that there was no hope for them in the capital. They had no choice but to continue their search along the way.

The Xiaowan told Lian Yi that if they couldn't find him, they would look for him for the rest of the day. Even if Ershan had already turned to dust, they would bring him back to her hometown.

They decided to stay in the capital for another day and leave early tomorrow morning.

If he found that there was still no trace of Ershan in August, he would return to the capital to wait. Perhaps at that time, he would appear to participate in the examination. Naturally, this was also his last hope.

Today, Lian Yi was going to visit the Hou clan to visit her two children left behind by her late elder sister. Xiaowan was worried that Lian Yi would be bullied by the family, so she came along with her.

When the people in front of the door heard that it was the late mistress's sister, they couldn't help but be surprised. After sizing them up, they were informed to enter.

Before long, a butler-looking person came out, said some harsh words and wanted to drive them away.

Lian Yi said that she only looked at her children and would not do anything else. The butler was very impatient and ordered people to rudely drive them away.

Just then, a carriage stopped in front of the door, Bi Zhenye's mother got off and the servants immediately changed their expressions to welcome his.

When Mrs. Bi saw the scene in front of the door, he naturally asked: "What happened?"

The steward said softly, "The young sister of the late young madam wishes to see Miss Sun and Young Master Sun. If Madam does not agree, she says she is afraid that the new madam will not let her off on her face."

Lian Yi's elder sister was this Mrs. Bi's niece. However, the two families were quite far away from each other, and practically did not recognize the people from the other families.

As for the Mrs. Bi himself, because he had suffered due to the righteousness of his concubine, he naturally hated these people from his original home.

He said coldly, "Sister-in-law is right. My daughter-in-law has been in the family for a year, and the two children have long treated her as their mother. Who would come from the family and want to see them? "Moreover, this lady is the one who tried to run away from the marriage at the start. Our house of the Marquis cannot afford to lose such a person. Let them go."

With that, the Mrs. Bi shot a glance of disgust at Lian Yi and the two before he headed straight for the door.

"Forget it, actually what can I do about it? If they were to have a good time, my aunt's appearance would only cause them to think of their own mother and grief." Lian Yi gave up and sighed, "But if they don't live a good life, what ability do I have to bring them out? Our family doesn't even have money anymore, what ability do I have to take care of them. "I can only blame myself for not doing well. I really have the heart to help my two children, and shouldn't have run away from the marriage at that time. Now, I can peacefully live in this mansion and raise them."

Xiaowan always felt that there was nothing wrong with Aunt wanting to take a look at her nephew. If the two children didn't suffer any grievances, then it was fine, but I'm afraid that the people of the house of the Marquis were guilty, and had ill-treated the child, not daring to show it to others.

When they returned to the tavern, Little Pei was clumsily loading tobacco for Uncle Biao. Xiaowan brought his son upstairs and asked him softly if he could find a way to go to the house of the Marquis to see if Aunt Lian Yi's two nephews were doing well.

Without saying a word, Little Pei transformed into a Golden Dragon and walked away majestically. He greeted his father who was on the Announcement Hall from afar and Ling Chaofeng reminded him to be careful.

Little Pei circled to the top of the house of the Marquis and saw that in the inner courtyard, a young lady was playing with two children. The children laughed and laughed all right, and the lady greeted the little boy in her arms and gently wiped his sweat. The older sister also came to act like a spoiled child and wanted her mother to wipe her sweat.

From the looks of it, the new young madam of the house of the Marquis was very fond of her stepson. They could finally relax now.

Just as Little Pei was about to leave, he saw an older lady in the courtyard who was pestering a man older than her. She shouted: "Brother, if you don't help me, who else can help me?"

The man said impatiently, "Didn't I already help you find it? If I can't find it, what do you want me to do? It's not that I can't help you, but how do you expect me to deal with him if I can't find him? Sister, don't you know the current situation of the imperial court? All of us old officials have mysteriously disappeared, and I don't know when the Emperor will summon me to send me back to my homeland. My every move and action right now are all under the Emperor's nose. That Ling Qian is a High Scholar after all, and it is said that the Emperor and the General Shen know him. Aren't you afraid that I will anger the Emperor and bring about my own death? "

Little Pei immediately flew back to the inn, the Xiaowan was already waiting for him at the window. His son leapt into his embrace and told her: "Mother, in that house, there is an older lady who is pestering her brother, seeking for Second Uncle."

"Looking for Second Uncle?" Xiaowan did not understand for a moment, "You're saying, look for your second uncle."

Little Pei nodded his head repeatedly: "That madam is looking for Second Uncle. I listened to her brother and seemed to want to deal with Second Uncle.

He cleverly repeated the entire story to his mother. Waving his little fists, he angrily said, "Why are they so evil? What are they going to do to Second Uncle?"

Xiaowan was confused. What exactly was the relationship between the two of them? She caressed the little horn on her son's head and her heart suddenly quivered, remembering what her husband had told her before. Ershan had a mysterious background, he said that Ershan knew who he was from.

When she mentioned his elder sister's aunt at her wife's house, Lian Yi said, "She seems to have married the prime minister, so it's possible that I remembered wrongly. After all, I didn't care about the matters of the capital at all in the past, and maybe my mother and brother even knew a little more."

She asked the Xiaowan, "What's wrong?"

was afraid that Lian Yi would be worried, so she said: "We will stay in the capital for a few more days, I have something to do."

Although she felt that Ershan's disappearance was related to his background, the Xiaowan did not have any leads. As a country bumpkin young lady, besides the escort team, there was no one else who could help out in the capital.

Although Lian Yi was the daughter of the Prefect, the Meng Family had long since fallen. Even their families didn't put them in their eyes, so who would help them?

The Xiaowan actually had a powerful figure that she could rely on, but she didn't want to cause trouble for the Empress. It was already difficult for the Empress to be stuck in the middle, but the Empress was the most innocent.

It was getting late in the night, and it was almost noon. The weather was beginning to get hot and stuffy, and the little fatty was afraid of the heat. She held her son in her arms as she sat under the window, gently fanning him with a palm-leaf fan.

The silvery-white moonlight sprinkled inside and landed on the Jade Ring. Xiaowan raised her hand to take a look.

Last night, the Empress seemed to have spoken everything within the Qingming Pavilion. Aside from the morning assembly, the emperor had been together with the empress the entire time. The matters here should not be left to Ling Chaofeng.

Thus, taking advantage of the clear day in the world, he came to the inn with the moonlight and the cool breeze, and sat down beside Xiaowan.

"Master, I'm still that stupid and useless. I used to be a little smart and clever, all thanks to the ability of the ring." Xiaowan muttered, "Now she's not working, I'm just a silly aunt."

Ling Chaofeng looked at her lovingly and touched her hand. Xiaowan's heart trembled as he looked at the back of her hand.

She could feel it, but she couldn't tell what it was.

"Late at night, you are very smart, very strong, very amazing." Ling Chaofeng bent over and kissed the back of her hand. "You're the same as the Empress, the most outstanding woman."

Xiaowan looked at the back of her hand, her tears unconsciously flowing down. She "looked" at Ling Chaofeng and once again felt her eyes go blank, the pain in her heart made her unable to breathe. She asked, "Hubby, are you, are you by my side?"

Ling Chaofeng gently wiped away her tears and a gentle breeze brushed against Xiaowan's face. She reached out his hands to touch her face and then randomly scratched, "Hubby? "Young master …"

Little Pei was woken up by the noise, when he opened her eyes, he saw her father by her side, while his mother's hand groped on his body accurately, but she could not see nor touch it.

"Father, why is mother so powerful? She can actually feel that you're here." Little Pei used his heart to listen in, causing the Xiaowan to not be able to hear anything.

"I also think it's strange. How could she feel me?" Ling Chaofeng's eyes did not blink as he looked at Xiaowan, once again wiping away the tears on her face, "Little Pei, the relationship between father and mother has yet to be broken, but I am unable to calculate what will happen next. You must not remember Father's words, and you cannot tell her even half a word.

Xiaowan felt that it was laughable, she could not do this, it would probably cause her to be stunned for a long time. If she went crazy, how would she take care of his son? How would she take care of Uncle Biao?

She pulled herself together and put Little Pei on the bed. When she walked to the window and was about to close the window, she felt a cool breeze blow by.

It was at this moment, however, that a tall figure walked over from the street under the moonlight. Coincidentally, when Wei Tengfei raised his eyes to look up, he met the gaze of the Xiaowan who was standing in front of the window.

Wei Tengfei, the great general, actually felt embarrassed and nervous as he turned to leave in a hurry.

Xiaowan stood at the window and watched. She didn't know why, but at this moment, she suddenly remembered that she was at the edge of a cliff in a valley. Wei Tengfei had explained again and again that it wasn't him.

When they met in the town, the General Wei said that he came alone. Would he lie?

Wei Tengfei was worried about the Xiaowan, so he unknowingly walked to the front of the tavern. He didn't expect to see her standing at the window, and at this moment, he hurriedly left.

He suddenly turned around, and under the moonlight, the slender and delicate young lady stood there. It was unknown if it was because the moonlight was cool, or because her entire body was filled with a chilling aura, causing people's hearts to ache for her.
