Traveling through time and meeting fellow villagers, the secret code is right

"Yes, I'm really sorry. Mingzhe is an ignorant child and has caused you trouble." She nodded to me again. She pulled Mingzhe up and was about to leave. Little Mingzhe seemed to be very afraid of his mother and didn't dare to say a word since she appeared.

"No! Mingzhe is very well behaved. I can see that you have educated him very well!" Even the most cold-blooded person would be happy to hear that someone praised her son for being well behaved and for her good education.

"You're really flattering, girl." Her smile is so beautiful and gentle!! [Slurp! ~]

"My name is Xia Mu. What's yours?" Seeing that she didn't want to stay for a moment, I quickly introduced myself and pulled Xia Yadong over. "This is my younger brother, named Yadong. My family lives in the Xia Mansion on the next street. My eldest brother is the county magistrate here. We are not bad people. I came to find Mingzhe because I like him so much. I also invited him to dinner because I saw that I liked him very much. Please don't mind." I quickly made it clear in one breath!

After I finished speaking, I saw Mingzhe smiled at me! What a cute child!

"So that's how it is. Thank you, young lady. My name is Xinyan. We have some other things to do, so I'll leave first. Sorry." After saying that, she left with Mingzhe.

Xinyan??? Such a familiar name! Let me think about it... I need to think about it again...

"Come back to your senses! Silly sister, you get dazed when looking at the same sex!" Xia Yadong kicked my calf in annoyance.

"Stop making noise. I seemed to have just thought of something, but you kicked me and I can't remember it at all." I hit him.

"You blame others for your own bad memory. Idiots are really just idiots."

"Yadong, I seem to have heard her name somewhere." I ignored his ridicule and said to him.

"There are many people with the same name!" He disagreed.

But I still feel like something is wrong...

Into the night

"Ah!!!!" With a loud scream, I finally remembered, Xinyan, Xinyan, aren't you the heroine in the story told by the third brother?

What about Mingzhe? Why does he look familiar to me?

Oh, right, when I think about it, he looks exactly like my third brother, just a lot smaller so I didn’t recognize him. Who would have known that I would encounter something like this here?

"What's wrong, Mu Mu?" My good mother heard my cry and thought something happened to me, so she rushed into my room without even putting on her clothes.

"Mom, I'm fine. I just thought of something very important and couldn't help but scream." I looked at her embarrassedly.

"What a crazy girl you are. You can even think of things and shout them out loud." Another look of loving eyes.

"Mom! I'm fine! Go to bed soon! I'll think about something and then go to bed soon." I leaned on her and acted like a spoiled child, just like I acted like a spoiled child with my mother in modern times. My nose felt a little sour!

"Okay, okay! Mommy can go to sleep without worry since my Mu Mu is fine." After saying that, she patted my back and left. But I also saw tears in her eyes. Maybe she was like me. I need a mother who loves me, and she needs a daughter to make her forget the pain of losing her daughter, including the deep apology to her husband for not raising a good child!

Third brother! You should thank yourself for opening your heart to me and telling me that story, and thank me for running away from home so that I could find your beloved. I finally know what big thing I should do in this idle place, that is to bring Xinyan and Mingzhe back to Chang'an, or just let third brother take them back. Haha!!!

But there is one thing I want to confirm. I know Mingzhe must be the son of the third brother. He looks so much like him, it is impossible not to be, but does he have a stepfather? Although I don't think any man can compare to the third brother, it is understandable that a woman with a child, an unmarried mother, would find it difficult to survive if she doesn't get married!

I was so excited that I couldn't sleep all night. I ran to Xia Yadong's room early and kicked him awake. He studied until very late last night and didn't want to get up, but I still forced him to get up.

"Mu Mu, why are you taking Yadong with you without eating breakfast?" Mom shouted behind me.

Xia Yadong is still confused...

"Yadong and I will just eat outside." I was eager to know if Mingzhe had a stepfather.

"Why did this child go out so early in the morning?" The person I should call second aunt walked out of the dining room and saw us and said.

"What are you doing? I'm not awake yet." I was so reluctant. Although I loved my sister and loved being with her, I couldn't stand getting up so early in the morning! Wasn't she also a good sleeper? What happened today?

"Yadong, I'm going to tell you something, but you have to keep it a secret." I felt it necessary to tell him the story as I might need his help in the future!

"Tell me, let me listen."

He talked all the way to the private school, and we arrived by the time he finished.

"Sister, isn't this too much of a coincidence?" He looked surprised!

"Yes! It's such a coincidence." I was so happy!

As usual, I bought a lot of delicious food and waited outside the private school. Mingzhe came out and was very happy to see us. I asked him to sit down and gave him the delicious food. He thanked me and started eating.

If his father saw that his son had a hard time even eating good food, he would be so distressed that he would be speechless. How could the third brother, who is so sensitive, accept it???

The more I look at him, the more he looks like Third Brother.

"Mingzhe! Your mother is teaching people needlework there, but where is your father?" I started to ask.

When the child heard me mention his father, he couldn't even eat the food in his hand, and his face was full of sorrow. "Mingzhe doesn't have a father!" He lowered his head and looked like he was about to cry.

When I heard him say he didn't have a father, I was so happy that I almost laughed. Xia Yadong twisted my arm with his hand and said, "It hurts so much, can't you be a little gentler?"

He rolled his eyes at me again. He likes to roll his eyes a lot lately, and it seems he learned it from me!

"Does Mingzhe know who his father is?" I asked again.

"Mingzhe has never seen it! I asked my mother, but she kept crying. Mingzhe was afraid that she would cry, so he didn't dare to ask again." As he said this, he seemed to be about to cry.

I quickly hugged him, what a poor child, he must be longing for fatherly love!

"Mingzhe! Can you make my sister trust you?"

Looking up, he looked at me in confusion, wondering why I asked that.

"I mean, don't tell mom what I say to you, and don't ask your mom."

"Mingzhe would never lie to his mother." He is such an obedient child, but a little stubborn.

"I'm not asking you to lie, I'm asking you to hide it!"

"What's the difference?"

"I...@%￥%￥@" I was speechless! I really couldn't bear to teach a child bad things! But what could I do?

"Has Mingzhe ever been to Chang'an?"
