I was divorced because I got pregnant during the lean years, so I went back to my parents’ home and

The old man squinted his eyes, turned it over and over again, and asked, "What is this? What's on it?"

Ji Xiaobei then realized that he couldn't open his eyes at all and they were narrowed into a line.

Ji Xiaobei asked again, did the Rui family lose their child?

The old man stared at Ji Xiaobei blankly, as if he didn't hear anything.

Ji Xiaobei: Is this person both blind and deaf?

As she turned to leave, a burly man with dark skin came towards her, carrying a basket on his back.

"Brother, do you know this child?" Ji Xiaobei asked quickly.

The man was stunned for a moment, then asked, "Who are you?"

"I, I'm not anyone, I just saw someone looking for this child!"

"Do you know him?" the man asked.

"I don't know him, but I have seen a child who looks a bit like him. I want to ask how tall this child is?" said Ji Xiaobei.

The man's expression suddenly changed, and he drove Ji Xiaobei away, cursing:

"Go away, isn't it just for love of 20 taels of silver? I have seen many people like you!"

"I have really seen this child!"

The man snorted coldly and slammed the wooden door shut.

Ji Xiaobei shouted at the door: "Who the hell are you? Is your surname Rui? Are you looking for the child or not?"

There was no more sound from inside the wooden door.

The little kid just stuck his head out and said, "People come here every day for half a year, but the person hasn't been found yet."

Ji Xiaobei: ...Okay then!

I guess that child is already dead.

However, given the family's financial situation, they were still willing to buy yellow paper and hire someone to write and distribute missing person flyers.

How strange!

Coming out of the alley, Ji Xiaobei headed home.

The weather is getting cooler, and even after the sun goes down, my body still feels a little cold.

She took a scarf from the carport and wrapped it around her head.

After Haixia finished visiting the academy, Ruo Xiaolian's followers sent him back, and Ji Xiaobei didn't have to worry about him anymore.

A few guards on horseback came from the opposite side of the road, trotting ahead to lead the way.

Pedestrians moved to the sides.

"Look! That's the judge's carriage..."

Someone in the crowd shouted.

Ji Xiaobei stopped Ma Debiao on the side of the road and stretched his neck to look over.

All I saw was a carriage speeding past, and nothing could be seen inside.

Ma Debiao made a few "hehe" sounds and seemed extremely excited.

Ji Xiaobei pulled his reins: Why are you joining in the fun? What does it have to do with you?

Ma Debiao looked up over there, his eyes full of excitement.

"Where are you going, Tongpan?" Ji Xiaobei asked.

The woman next to him said, "I heard that a murder happened in West City..."

"Does a homicide case also need to be handled by a magistrate?" Ji Xiaobei wondered.

After watching the excitement, I continued walking home.

When we reached the entrance of Mingyi Alley, we saw a horse-drawn carriage parked at the entrance.

Ji Xiaobei: How come I encountered it again? This is not the first time.

At this time, a little girl got off the carriage and looked Ji Xiaobei up and down.

Ji Xiaobei also looked at the little girl. Where had he seen her before?

"Heroine, do you remember me?"

Danfeng recognized Ji Xiaobei and asked in an excited voice.

"Who are you?" Ji Xiaobei just felt familiar, but forgot where he had seen you.

"You saved my life and my daughter's life. During the Anzhou Lantern Festival in the spring, in the woods..."

Danfeng's voice was choked with tears in her eyes.

Ji Xiaobei then remembered that it was the little maid who had pledged herself to him.

"Oh, I remember now. What's the matter? Do you have something to talk to me about?" Ji Xiaobei asked.

"I, I know you live here, and my girl asked me to come and thank the heroine!"

As she spoke, Danfeng handed over a cloth bag.

At that time, I just drew my sword to help someone when I saw injustice, but I didn't really mean to save anyone.

She also doesn't want to accept thanks from others.

"I appreciate your kindness, you can take the things back. You don't have to thank me. If someone else is being bullied, I will help them too."

Ji Xiaobei said lightly.

It was obvious that her coachman had been following her.

She didn't like this feeling.

After saying that, Ji Xiaobei pulled Ma Debiao into the alley.

Unexpectedly, Danfeng fell to her knees with a thud.

“Miss, you saved my life, Danfeng will serve my girl for the rest of my life.

In my next life, I will work like a slave to repay the girl for saving my life!

The purse in this bag was embroidered by me and is given to the girl. If we have offended the girl, please atone for our sins!"

Ji Xiaobei: Why is this child so stubborn?

Danfeng kowtowed three times, stood up, ran a few steps, stuffed the cloth bag in her hand into the donkey cart, and quickly climbed onto the carriage.

The carriage drove away.

Ji Xiaobei: …

She picked up the cloth bag, opened it and took a look. Inside was a jade bracelet and a purse with two words embroidered crookedly on it: Danfeng.

Ji Xiaobei smiled and said: Is this child's handicraft so bad?

She picked up the jade bracelet and looked at it in the sunlight. It was very watery and transparent, so it must be worth a lot of money.

She put it in her space. This bracelet was too valuable. She would return it to her daughter when she had the chance in the future.

When passing by Magnolia Courtyard, the door was open and Ji Xiaobei couldn't help but take a look inside.

The coachman was sitting at the door, lazily basking in the sunset.

Seeing Ji Xiaobei coming, he pushed the hat down on his head.

Ji Xiaobei: Bah! You are just a coachman, how can I spy on you?

When I walked to the door, I saw Ah Huang burying drug residue in the alley.

When I saw Ji Xiaobei coming back, I greeted him.

Ji Xiaobei asked, "Is the old lady feeling better?"

Ah Huang paused and said, "It's okay. Thank you Miss Ji for your concern!"

Ji Xiaobei took Ma Debiao home.

Ji Deyan jumped out and ran all over Ji Xiaobei.

Ji Xiaobei patted her head and said: Don’t be greedy, people are burying the medicine residue outside again.

Ji Deyan sobbed: Once bitten by a snake, you will be afraid of ropes for ten years. I won’t be afraid of it again!

Mrs. Lin was making cotton clothes in the yard, and Mrs. Huang was cooking.

Ji Xiaobei recounted his journey to the southern suburbs.

Both women were curious.

Huang Po pulled Ji Xiaobei to sit in front of the stove and said, "You are not at home today. The old lady next door seems to be sick. It is a mess over there. It seems that she has gone to invite her son!"

Mother Lin glared at Mother Huang and said, "She has been lying at the door listening for any noises all day long!"

"Hey, Bei, that unpleasant lady is so annoying. When she passed by our door, she said very loudly that the old lady was tired from practicing martial arts randomly, and she also scolded the maid for not taking good care of the old lady..."

Ji Xiaobei: It’s better for us to stay away from this family from now on!

The whole family is abnormal!

As he was speaking, he heard the sound of hurried horse hooves in the alley.

Mrs. Huang was about to lie down through the crack of the door to look, but was pulled back by Ji Xiaobei.

"Mrs. Huang, hurry up and cook. I'm hungry..."

Mrs. Lin immediately put down the needle and thread in her hand, stood up, ran to the door, and looked out through the crack.

Huang Po said to Ji Xiaobei:

"It seems that her young master has returned. I'll go and see who he is."

Ji Xiaobei: …

Really, you two have aroused my curiosity. I want to go and take a look too...
