They have been in Shiqiao Town for more than three months but have not found any clues. Qingnan speculates that the problem may lie in the Su Mansion.

Qi Junye said: "No, the Seventh Emperor's nephew must be in Shiqiao Town."

When Qi Junye was eight years old, he went to the Su Mansion and interrogated Mrs. Su. Mrs. Su just shook her head and said she didn't know. When asked again, she closed her eyes and kept silent.

Seeing that Madam Su had lost her beloved daughter, her husband had been beheaded, and her two sons and all the male members of the Su family had been exiled, the entire family, the elderly, the weak, the women and the children, all relied on her alone to support them. She was only in her early fifties, but her hair was already full of white.

He couldn't bear to ask any more questions.

Madam Su did not believe him. Even though he said that he was raised by the emperor's sister-in-law and regarded her as his own mother, she remained unmoved.

He once sent people to track down the whereabouts of the three baby boys who were sent away from the Su Mansion that year, but the three boys seemed to have evaporated from the face of the earth, and there was no news of them.

If it weren't for the five tiny words "white jade dragon-shaped pendant" written on the note, he would have thought many times that the spy's exploration direction was wrong.

"However, a rare incident occurred in Shiqiao Town."

"Oh?"

Seeing that I was rarely interested in these gossips, Qingnan treated them as a storybook to amuse me:

"Didn't you ask me to keep an eye on those little beggars in the City God Temple? But two days ago, all those little beggars were hired by a shop."

"Employ a little beggar?"

"Yes, sir. I have inquired about it. The shop is called Yunji Ice Drink. They make all kinds of ice products, which seem to be called popsicles. Then they let these little beggars sell them on the street. Every time a popsicle is sold, these little beggars make money."

Qi Junye leaned on the couch, his face expressionless: "Can it be sold?"

"Yes, these little beggars put on new clothes, new shoes and socks, and washed their bodies very clean. They seemed to have been reborn and it was hard to tell what they looked like before.

Not only are their popsicles selling fast, but they are also promoting Yunji. Yunji's popsicles are only five cents each for such a large piece. I'm afraid the shop is overcrowded now."

Qi Junye's eyes moved slightly and his brows wrinkled slightly.

The person who could take in these little beggars and give them food to eat so that they wouldn't starve or freeze to death must be extremely kind-hearted.

But he always felt that something was missing.

"Go check out the owner behind Yun Ji."

When the master gave an order, Qingnan never asked why. He just bowed and said, "Yes, I will take my leave."

Yun Zhiqian returned to the shop and saw that it was indeed very busy, but his sister was directing everyone in an orderly manner and no one was in a hurry.

There weren't many people eating ice cream in the shop. Most of them came to buy popsicles, milk pudding and ice cubes.

These people buy them in batches of five or ten yuan, planning to take them back and share them with their families.

"Sister, you must be exhausted."

Seeing Yun Zhiqian coming back, Yun Fu, who had been standing straight, finally breathed a sigh of relief. Now that her elder brother was back, she could finally take a rest.

This six-year-old's little body really can't stand too much work.

"Brother, come on, I'll go inside and rest for a while."

"it is good."

Yun Fu walked in, not caring that it was a big bunk bed for the children. She took off her shoes and socks and lay down on it. She fell asleep in a short while.

She slept for more than an hour, and only woke up slowly when she heard Yun Zhili's voice.

"Fifth brother?"

"Sister, big brother said you were tired and were sleeping inside, so he asked me to come and see you."

Yun Fu stretched and said, "It's okay, Fifth Brother. I'm not tired."

This is how a child's body is; they get tired quickly and recover quickly.

After this sleep, she seemed to be revived.

"Come on, I'll take you to dinner."

Yun Zhili wanted to put on shoes and socks for Yun Fu, but Yun Fu didn't dare to do so. She was afraid that someone would take revenge on her later. She stepped back and said, "Fifth Brother, let me do it."

Yun Zhili held her feet, took the shoes and put on socks for his sister.

He took Yun Fu's hand and walked out through the back door.

Yun Fu said, "Why don't you tell your elder brother?"

"My eldest brother told me to do that. He gave me money and asked me to take you out to buy some delicious food and stroll around the streets."

Yun Fu: “Oh.”

She felt lazy all over, so she let Yun Zhili pull her away.

After a while, the two arrived at Qianweilou.

"Fifth brother, are we going to eat at Qianweilou?"

"Yes, I'll take you to eat roast goose."

Ever since his mother bought the roast goose that time and he saw his sister eating it with great relish, he secretly kept it in mind and decided that if he had money, he would definitely take his sister to Qianweilou to eat roast goose.

"Fifth brother, I don't want to eat at Qianweilou."

The dishes at Qianweilou were very expensive, and later on he found out that it was run by the Xie family. Yun Fu would never be so foolish as to give money to the Xie family.

But it’s better for Fifth Brother not to know about these grudges.

She pointed to the west and said, "On the way here, I saw a shop selling wontons over there. Fifth brother, I want to eat some wontons."

Yun Zhili said gently: "Okay, I'll listen to you."

Of course Yun Zhili would agree to his sister's request. Today, because his sister was tired, he asked his elder brother for money and took his sister out to relax.

The second, third and fourth brothers might not know, but they couldn't hide it from Yun Zhili. It was his sister's idea to open the Yunji Ice Drink Shop.

My father and mother seemed to have lost their jobs. If my younger sister wasn't at home, they wouldn't even be able to afford food, let alone study.

He knew that his sister was exhausted these days, so he had to find a reason to take her out to rest and not let her be trapped in the shop all day.

The eldest brother also felt sorry for his sister, so he gave him five taels of silver and asked him to take his sister for a walk on the street.

The two walked towards the west.

Chang Qingqing, who had just walked out of Qianwei Tower, saw Yun Fu and Yun Zhili talking not far from Qianwei Tower.

I saw the two of them whispering to each other, but I didn't know what they were talking about.

After a while, the two men walked west.

"Cousin, please go back first. I want to go shopping over there."

Chang Qingqing pointed in the direction where Yun Fu and Yun Zhili left and said.

Zhao Mingzhou was a little worried. His grandmother had told him to take good care of his cousin. If anything happened to his cousin in Shiqiao Town, he would have a hard time explaining it.

"Cousin, I'll go with you."

Chang Qingqing said quickly: "No need, cousin, you can just go back and let Songzhu follow me."

Having my cousin follow me and telling me what I can't do is like having someone spy on me. It's so disappointing.

Zhao Mingzhou glanced at Song Zhu and said, "Okay, Song Zhu, take good care of your cousin. If anything happens to her, I'll hold you accountable."

Song Zhu is a servant in the prefectural mansion. He has been following Zhao Mingzhou since he was a child and knows some simple martial arts. Zhao Mingzhou feels at ease with him around.

"Yes, Master, please rest assured that I will protect my cousin."

Chang Qingqing secretly followed the Yun Fu siblings from behind. Seeing them talking and laughing in front reminded her of her elder brother.

That’s how the eldest brother used to talk and laugh with her, but unfortunately they can’t come back anymore.

Huang Er also followed Chang Qingqing in a leisurely manner.

At this time, a man in his twenties passed by Yun Zhili and his sister, pulled off the purse hanging on Yun Zhili's body, and ran forward.
