Seeing that the Fourth Prince finally did not keep the two guards and walked out of the courtyard with his hands behind his back in angrily, Chan Yi breathed a sigh of relief.

"Girl, it's not a good thing to be here every day!" Mother Zhou said worriedly, "I don't know what this gentleman is up to. He comes every few days. I'm afraid people will spread rumors about him!"

Chan Yi shook her head, thinking that she was really unlucky.

She didn't know either. She never imagined that after going through so much hardship to travel to Jiangnan, she would meet the noble Fourth Prince. What's more terrifying is that he actually recognized her. It was really a headache.

She didn't know why he didn't stay in the capital and came to Jiangyin. Judging from what he said in the past few days, he should have a mansion in Jiangyin, so he didn't come here to play incognito. This discovery made her feel like a stone was pressing on her heart, and she couldn't breathe from time to time.

"Miss, we can't go on like this, why don't we go to another place?" Mother Zhou was very upset. After all, she was still Pei Jin's wet nurse. If the prince's children had to call the Fourth Prince dad in the future, she would not be happy at all.

"It's not easy to change places. Mom, let's wait and see. I hope he won't be willing to come after a few more setbacks." Chan Yi touched An'er's little head with a bitter face. She was asleep now, nestling quietly in her arms, and her temperature didn't rise.

"But what if he uses force?" Mother Zhou said what she had been worried about.

Chan Yi was stunned. She had thought about it. If they fell out, it was possible that the Fourth Prince would get angry and force himself on her.

"Miss, why don't we send someone to the capital to investigate, maybe the lady..." Mother Zhou looked into Chanyi's eyes and said cautiously.

"No!" Chan Yi refused flatly, "Now that we've come out, we can't turn back. Going back is a dead end."

She had had enough of the frustrating days in the Yong'an Marquis' Mansion, not to mention how could Pei Yunshan and Liu Wan'er let her and An'er go?

She glanced at Mother Zhou and whispered, "Mom said at the beginning that if you are willing to follow me, you must never regret it."

"Miss, please don't misunderstand. I am just giving you some advice." Mother Zhou waved her hands and swore, "Since I followed you out of the Marquis' Mansion, you are my master for the rest of my life. Wherever you go, I will follow you. There is no doubt about it. Please believe me, Miss."

"Mom, I know you are doing this for my own good." Chan Yi smiled faintly, feeling inexplicably sad in her heart. Why did the world treat her like this? She just wanted to use her intelligence to earn more money and live a good life, but in front of the powerful and wealthy, such a small wish became a luxury.

Why not have a good talk with the Fourth Prince next time he comes and find out his background? Maybe there is still a way out. Chan Yi gently patted Xiao An'er's back and made up her mind.

Instead of keeping him hanging like this and letting him think there is still a chance, it is better to give it a try. Maybe there will be a turning point.

"Brother, will my sister really be in Jiangyin?" Xiao Che held onto the side of the boat, patted his chest and asked.

He had vomited several times along the way, but when he thought of his sister, he was full of hope. He had thought that his sister had died of illness a long time ago, but he didn't expect that she was still alive. It was really great.

Although he could no longer remember what his sister looked like, he always remembered what his mother said to him while holding her sister in her arms: "Our Che'er is going to be a brother now. From now on, you two brothers must protect your sister well and don't let anyone bully her."

"Second brother, you have suffered. Here, this is the medicinal oil. Apply some on your philtrum and you may feel better." Xiao Yuan said with a smile, "We already know that Pei Jin is in Jiangyin. As long as we find him, we don't have to worry about him not telling us where his sister is."

"Pei Jin? The son of the Marquis of Yong'an?" Xiao Che looked at his elder brother blankly and asked in surprise, "Isn't he ill? Is he so ill that he can't even preside over his father's funeral? What does he have to do with my sister!"

Xiao Yuan sneered and told his second brother everything he knew.

"This is outrageous!" Xiao Che was so angry that he punched the side of the boat. "Pei Jin must have been getting married, so he secretly disposed of his sister and child. I thought he was a gentleman, but it turns out he is full of thieves and whores. I was wrong about him."

Xiao Che became angrier and angrier as he spoke. His face turned red as he cursed, "I really can't swallow this. Pei Jin, you should respect your wife. Then you should be like my father and not raise a concubine. And don't have a child before the wedding. But now you are willing to do anything for your wife. You even don't let go of such a young child. You are worse than a beast."

"What's even more ridiculous is that his marriage to Miss Lu from Wuyang Marquis's Mansion was eventually called off." Xiao Yuan raised the corner of his lips sarcastically, "How ridiculous!"

Xiao Che looked at his elder brother in confusion and asked, "What is this for?"

"Rumor has it that he was injured in the Northern Frontier and is in serious condition there! He deserves to be childless!" Xiao Yuan said with a sneer.

"Ah, there is such a thing! No wonder he was blown away. After this happened, he can forget about getting married again in this life. He will live out his life alone." Xiao Che said gloatingly.

Xiao Yuan helped his brother stand up and said with concern: "Don't blow the cold wind, or you'll feel uncomfortable again."

"Brother, how do you know that my sister and nephew are still alive?" After Xiao Che cursed, he felt that his chest was not as stuffy as before, as if his seasickness had improved a little.

"Think about it, why would Pei Jin appear in Jiangyin, and during the period of his father's funeral? If people knew about this, even His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would not be able to protect him. Your Majesty has always ruled the world with filial piety. He dared to take such a big risk to sneak out, so the matter must be very important." Xiao Yuan sneered and said,

"He has been looking for someone for the past few months, so I guess he must have known that his sister and nephew had escaped, so he set up a trap to search everywhere. After all, he can no longer have children in this life, and his nephew is Pei Jin's only child, how can he not be concerned!"

"Brother, what you said makes sense. We just need to find him and secretly follow him, so that we can take the initiative to rescue our sister and nephew." Xiao Che nodded repeatedly and clapped his hands, "Brother, how did our sister, a little maid, escape from the Marquis' Mansion under Pei Jin's nose? It's amazing!"

"Yes, because she is the flesh and blood of our Xiao family and she is extremely smart." Xiao Yuan looked at the wide river and thought of the woman who was hiding under the mist and who had passed him by. Sister, this time your brothers will definitely protect you and the baby and do their best to let you live the best life.

In the Tongxi Silk Shop, early in the morning, Shopkeeper Qian saw the Xiao Yuan brothers in disguise and hurriedly went to the back to greet them.

"Master, Second Young Master, you are finally here. I have discovered a huge secret." Manager Qian said in a deep voice after closing the door.

"What's the big secret? Tell me quickly!" Xiao Yuan said in a deep voice.
