Fu Bao's face turned cold as he opened the curtain and said, "If they catch up with us now, we won't be able to escape."

After saying that, she glanced around, met everyone's fearful gazes, and said, "Aunt Lianqin, please come up." She had invited Lianqin several times, and each time she refused, saying that the carriage was too bumpy.

This time, Lian Qin saw her eyes and did not refuse, but got into the car silently. She had already discovered something was wrong without Fu Bao's explanation these days. There were constant rumors outside, and the debate about the goddess and the witch had already reached everyone's ears.

During this period, she never got close to the Li family, and she was really a little scared. Fubao also understood.

Today she finally got on the carriage, and Fubao said enthusiastically: "Auntie, thank you for helping me before."

Li Shuangrong and Zhao Xiuer also kept thanking her. Lianqin waved her hands again and again: "You were the ones who helped me in the first place, why are you thanking me now?"

Fu Bao smiled and said, "You have seen me in this state. I hope you won't tell anyone."

Lian Qin nodded quickly: "That's for sure, how can we let outsiders know?"

Fubao felt warm in his heart. Lianqin must have discovered it a long time ago. It was not easy for her to keep it to herself for so long.

Lian Qin looked at the people behind him and asked cautiously, "Did they make any mistakes?"

Fubao shook her head: "There are problems among these people." She didn't want to reveal more and scare Lianqin, so she just told her that these people could not be trusted completely.

Lianqin nodded, not quite understanding, and sat awkwardly in the carriage. Fubao said with concern: "Don't be afraid, we will find her out soon."

Upon hearing this, Li Shuangrong continued to drive the carriage forward. Seeing that they had no intention of stopping, the people behind did not dare to say anything more and could only follow silently.

The little girl was still young and could not stand the fright. When she saw everyone had left, she quickly called out in a low voice, "Mom, mom, wake up! They've all left."

Hearing this, the woman who had fainted quickly opened her eyes, pretended to be weak, and staggered forward.

The women around her were sympathetic. Seeing that she had woken up, they hurriedly supported her and walked with her, whispering to her, "Hold on a little longer. You will definitely need to rest soon."

The woman lowered her head and panted as she agreed, but her tone was full of reluctance: "I really can't hold on any longer, how about you guys go first..."

The one who was supporting her was the one with a bad temper. Hearing this, he immediately retorted: "What are you talking about? We came together, so of course we have to go together. How can I leave you behind halfway?"

Her words attracted the attention of the people around her, who responded, "That's right, we must go together."

However, the children did not agree with their adults. The little kids looked at each other and pouted.

Fubao was surprised to find that at some point, the children had already drawn a clear line between themselves and the woman's daughter, and would not even take her with them when they walked or played on the road.

When the adults said they wanted to go together, they all looked reluctant.

Fubao waved his hand: "Shun'er, come here!"

When the little boy heard Fubao calling him, he immediately held his head high and quickened his pace towards the carriage, and gave his friends a look that said "don't envy me".

Under their envious gazes, he stepped into the carriage.

Fubao made room for him to sit down, took out some snacks from Wuweizhai and put them in his hands, saying, "Why don't you play with Jingjing?"

She spoke directly to the point without any hesitation. Shun'er originally thought something big had happened based on her expression and the large box of pastries, so he sat upright and did not dare to move at all.

When I heard about this, I immediately relaxed: "She can't play with us."

Fu Bao became interested, propped up his chin and asked, "What do you mean?"

Shun'er was greedy for the cakes, and his hand had unconsciously placed on a piece of lotus cake. Fubao didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and looked at his straight eyes and said, "It's okay, eat it, and talk while you eat."

Shun'er was still a child after all. He took a big bite of the cake, chewed it carefully in his mouth, and swallowed the whole piece before licking his fingers with satisfaction and said, "She always leaves as soon as she starts playing. Every time it's her turn to catch people in hide-and-seek, she always leaves..."

Fubao frowned, and Shuner continued, "She doesn't like to play with us, and we don't even bother to pay attention to her!" As he said this, he secretly glanced at Fubao's expression, and seeing that there was nothing unusual, he continued.

Shuner: "She likes to play with adults, especially when your father talks to you or goes out, she quickly follows behind without even saying a word. She can't play like this, we don't want to talk to her anymore!"

Fubao understood. No wonder she always felt someone was staring at her, but when she looked up she could see nothing. It turned out to be her.

Shun Er stammered, "It seems like she likes you the most... I said something bad about her, you won't tell her, will you?"

Fu Bao smiled and said, "It's a secret."

Shun'er nodded quickly. Fubao looked at him and said, "Eat it. It's all for you."

Shun'er didn't move, but said embarrassedly: "I've had enough now."

After that, he whispered, "Can I take it? My friends... they will definitely like it too."

Fubao smiled and said, "Since I gave it to you, it's yours, no need to ask me."

Shuner immediately put on a smile: "Sister Shu, you are the best, we all like you!"

Fu Bao was amused by his sudden praise: "Go ahead and share it with them." After that, he added: "Don't tell others what I asked you."

He nodded immediately and said in a very serious manner: "This is a secret..."

After saying that, he happily got off the carriage, holding the cake box and excitedly waved to his friends. He gathered them together, "conspired" to divide the cakes, and finally kept the best-looking piece and put it in his mother's hands.

Fubao lowered the curtain and looked at Lianqin: "Do you know who it is?"

Lian Qin stared at the mother and daughter, shock in her eyes: "They usually...get along best with each other, how could this happen?"

Fu Bao: "It's best to get along with each other so that you can all trust each other, right?"

Every time when the unreasonable woman was throwing a tantrum, this woman was the first to stand up and criticize her. Everyone here had been bullied by that woman, and every time it was this mother and daughter who stood up first.

At first, she just thought they were good people, but after a while, she found something wrong. They stared at her too closely. She rescued too often, and she was the least harassed by the woman.

Lianqin suddenly came to her senses, looked at Fubao in surprise and nodded: "Yes...they, they are indeed a little bit strange."

Fu Bao: "Then please do me a favor."

Lian Qin nodded.
