After the system ran, I took off with my family

Lin Shuyue glanced at the long procession entering the city, then suddenly turned her head to look at Xie Yi and asked, "Where is General Xie from?"

Xie Yi was slightly startled, then replied, "I am from the capital."

The capital city.

Lin Shuyue's eyes flickered as she inquired softly, "General Xie, have you heard that any children have gone missing from the wealthy families in the capital recently?"

"A missing child?"

Xie Yi frowned slightly, and after thinking carefully, he shook his head and said, "I have never heard of any child going missing."

After saying this, he added, "If a noble or a noble family member were missing, there would be an uproar in the city. It would definitely not be so quiet."

Lin Shuyue frowned slightly, thinking to herself: Could it be that I guessed wrong? Chen An is not a prominent figure in the capital or a child of a noble family?

Xie Yi observed her expression and couldn't help asking, "Miss Ayue, have you encountered any difficult problems?"

"No, I just remembered some things." Lin Shuyue shook her head.

Seeing that she didn't want to talk any more, Xie Yi didn't ask any further questions. He lightly kicked the horse's belly with his feet and said, "Let's go into the city."

The two men rode their horses slowly towards the city gate. When the gate guard saw Xie Yi, he immediately bowed and saluted, then neatly opened the middle gate.

Lin Shuyue followed closely behind Xie Yi, and the two of them quickly entered the city.

Arriving at the main street in the city center, Lin Shuyue reined in the horse and turned to look at Xie Yi: "General Xie, let's just drop you off here. You have your own things to attend to, so A Yue won't waste your time."

"Okay, let's say goodbye then."

Xie Yi nodded gently, but his hand holding the reins slowly tightened.

"Okay, I'll leave first."

Lin Shuyue smiled sweetly, waved at him gently, then turned the horse's head and whipped it away.

Looking at her leaving figure, Xie Yi's eyes could no longer hide the strong emotions and began to surge.

Until the figure disappeared in the crowd, he sighed softly, turned the reins of his horse, and galloped towards the city gate.

......................Dividing line.....................

The night in Yangcheng was as lively as the day. Lin Shuyue held Chen An's hand and walked on the crowded streets.

On both sides of the street are brightly lit shops and small stalls displaying a wide variety of goods.

Chen An looked around, but his little hand was tightly holding Lin Shuyue's hand.

When passing by a candy figurine stall, Lin Shuyue glanced back inadvertently, then squatted down and pointed at the candy figurine stall and asked Chen An with a smile: "An An, do you want to eat candy figurines?"

Chen An shook his head, "Sister, I don't want to eat candy."

After saying that, he immediately closed his mouth and stopped talking.

Seeing him like this, Lin Shuyue suppressed her smile and nodded, "Okay, our An'an doesn't eat candy figures, so how about I buy you a candied haws?"

"Sister is bad..."

Chen An pursed his lips and looked at her with aggrieved eyes.

“Hahaha…”

Now Lin Shuyue couldn't hold back her laughter any longer, and Chen An immediately puffed up his cheeks, stared at her, and accused her with his eyes.

"I'm sorry, sister, I'm not smiling anymore..."

Lin Shuyue tried hard to suppress her laughter and comforted him: "Don't be angry, An An. It's normal to change teeth. You will grow new beautiful teeth after a while."

Of course, the other teeth will continue to fall out.

That’s right, six-year-old Chen An has officially entered the awkward period of teething.

Today, when she returned to the courtyard in Yongqing Lane, she had just sat down when Qingzhi ran to her with a handkerchief in her hands as if presenting a treasure.

She thought it was something good, but when she opened it, it turned out to be a small tooth. She burst out laughing on the spot.

It was not until Qinghe came over with the awkward Chen An that she realized that Chen An had started to change his teeth.

Lin Shuyue was coaxing Chen An. In front of a stall a few meters behind her, there were two men who seemed to be carrying things on the stall, but in fact, they were observing her and Chen An in secret with their peripheral vision.

"Boss, how do you sell this hairpin?"

The man with the baby face picked up a hairpin and asked the price. After asking, he lowered his voice and said to the person next to him: "Is this the girl you saw last time?"

The man next to him nodded. "Well, how is it? Does it look like it?"

The baby-faced man turned his head and glanced at her again, then nodded. "The facial features are somewhat similar, but she is a girl."

At this time, the stall owner's voice interrupted their conversation.

"Sir, this hairpin is carved from white jade. I'll give you a fair price today. Take it for ten taels of silver."

After saying this, the stall owner waved his hands, as if to say you got a great bargain.

When the baby-faced man heard the price, his expression immediately turned cold, his round eyes widened, and he looked a bit fierce.

"You don't want to do good business, but you have to be a black-hearted boss. Come, if you have the guts, follow me to see the official and let the county magistrate see how much this hairpin is worth."

As he said that, he rolled up his sleeves and was about to catch the stall owner.

The other man glanced at Lin Shuyue and Chen An who had already walked away, then looked away and stood aside with his arms folded, watching the show.

The stall owner didn't expect that this person, who looked easy to bully, was actually so rude. He was so frightened that he begged for mercy: "Please calm down, please calm down. I was mistaken. This hairpin only costs one ounce of silver. Only one ounce of silver."

"Humph!"

The baby-faced man snorted coldly, threw the hairpin back, turned around and looked ahead, only to find that the target had disappeared.

"Where are the people?" he asked the man next to him.

The man glanced at him speechlessly and said, "He left a long time ago."

"Hiss...Why didn't you say so earlier!" The baby-faced man stomped his feet anxiously.

When he was about to jump up and down in anxiety, the man smiled triumphantly and patted his shoulder, "Don't worry, I know where they live."

In fact, he knew where the girl was the night before.

However, the two maids who were with the little girl that night were too alert, so he did not approach the yard rashly.

Today, I finally saw this little girl going out again, but I didn't expect that the girl who took her out today seemed to be even more powerful than the two girls from the night before.

It is a bit strange that the master and his servants are all good at martial arts.

He was sure that the girl had definitely discovered his and Sha Wu's presence, so he didn't dare to follow her.

However, this girl does look somewhat similar to that child. Is it just a coincidence? Or...

It was already late when Lin Shuyue brought Chen An back to Yongqing Lane.

He carefully took the sleepy Chen An and quietly carried him back to the room.

After taking care of him until he fell asleep, they tiptoed out of the room and into the main room.

As soon as she entered the main hall, Qingzhi quickly stepped forward, her tone revealing a hint of urgency: "Miss, how is it? Have you found anything?"

Lin Shuyue raised her hand and motioned for them to sit down. "Someone is indeed watching us secretly. I guess those people are most likely coming for Chen An."
