My bad father married a princess, my mother divorced me, and I became the group's favorite

"Madam, the young lady came here when you were still asleep."

Yuezhu took the empty bowl from Liu Yunniang and spoke slowly.

Xiaoxiao? She hadn't come to her courtyard to have breakfast in the past few days, why did she come today?

"Xiaoxiao, is something wrong with her? Did she find anything?"

Yuemei heard this and quickly replied,

"Madam, don't think too much. The young lady didn't enter the room. She just asked us to wait for you to wake up and report to her before leaving. It seems that the young lady wants to find you for something. How about I go over now?"

Liu Yunniang was worried. Xiaoxiao had been busy researching something these days and was acting mysterious every day. She wondered what the matter was that she came to find her today.

"Forget it, I'll go there myself. Yuemei, go and do your thing. Let Yuezhu stay with me."

Yuemei nodded and retreated.

The matter that the lady had instructed could not be delayed, so she left quickly.

Accompanied by Yuezhu, Liu Yunniang slowly walked towards Ye Xiaoxiao's residence.

Along the way, her heart was filled with worry and curiosity, wondering what Ye Xiaoxiao wanted to talk to her about.

She recalled Ye Xiaoxiao's mysterious behavior in the past few days, and became more and more confused.

When she arrived at Ye Xiaoxiao's yard, Liu Yunniang saw Chunxi guarding the door.

It was as if it had been waiting for someone to come.

When Chunxi saw Liu Yunniang, he bowed quickly.

"lady."

Liu Yunniang nodded slightly and asked softly,

"Is the young lady in there?"

Chunxi replied,

"Madam, the young lady is painting in the study."

draw?

Liu Yunniang was puzzled, when did this child become interested in painting?

"Miss, how was your breakfast today?"

"Reporting to Madam, the young lady had a bowl of eight-treasure barley porridge for breakfast, a plate of crystal shrimp dumplings, and a small plate of bacon buns. It was only because I stopped her from eating some, otherwise I'm afraid she would have eaten more."

The more Liu Yunniang listened, the more she shook her head. Who does this girl look like?

This amount of food is more than what an adult like her can eat.

"Well, you did the right thing. She is very greedy. You should pay attention to her and don't let her be greedy and accumulate food anger."

"Don't worry, Madam. I will take good care of the young lady."

Chunxi promised solemnly.

Liu Yunniang nodded and slowly walked to Ye Xiaoxiao's small study.

Ye Xiaoxiao’s study is more like a toy room than a study.

In the corner of the room there was a large bookshelf filled with various ancient books and medical books. Over the past few days, Housekeeper Liu had collected a lot of strange and peculiar things for her, which were now neatly placed on her bookshelf.

At first glance, this room really looks like a treasure shop.

There is also a small ladder next to the bookshelf, which makes it convenient for Ye Xiaoxiao to read books at high places at any time.

On the other side of the room is a wooden desk. It is not big, but very exquisite.

There were some paintbrushes, paints and drawing paper on the table, as well as a small inkstone and a few brushes.

Ye Xiaoxiao was sitting in front of this desk at this time, immersed in drawing on it.

Liu Yunniang looked at Ye Xiaoxiao with a focused expression, as if she didn't notice her coming in at all, and she was very curious.

What is this child busy with?

"Xiaoxiao?"

When Ye Xiaoxiao heard her mother's voice, she raised her head suddenly, then smiled sweetly and walked quickly to her side.

"Mom, are you awake? What did you do last night? How come you can sleep better than Xiaoxiao?"

Liu Yunniang blushed at Ye Xiaoxiao's words.

"Nothing, I just had a nightmare last night and slept a little longer. What are you drawing?"

Seeing that her mother wanted to change the subject, Ye Xiaoxiao stopped asking questions.

Have no idea!

I have a gossipy mind, but my body is not strong enough. Who would discuss love affairs with a five-year-old kid?

From the look on my mother's face, it's obvious that she has done something bad.

Hey!

“I’m painting a landscape!”

Liu Yunniang was a little curious.

"Landscape, what kind of scenery did you paint? I wonder if mother can appreciate it?"

Ye Xiaoxiao took Liu Yunniang's hand and walked forward gently, eager to let her mother see her paintings.

Liu Yunniang took a closer look and saw a strange scene on the drawing paper.

There are rolling mountains in the picture, with sparse vegetation on the mountains, giving a sense of desolation.

On one side of the mountain, there is a long city wall. Although it is outlined with simple lines, it seems to make people feel its grandeur and vicissitudes.

Ye Xiaoxiao's paintings have simple lines, but they give people a unique sense of beauty and power.

Her brushstrokes are concise and powerful. Although the images in the paintings are simple, they can accurately convey the desolation and loneliness in the paintings.

Of course, Liu Yunniang didn't know that this was just a modern sketch, but it was outlined by Ye Xiaoxiao with a brush.

This is?

"Xiaoxiao, where is this scenery? Mother has never seen a place like this. How did you see this place?"

Liu Yunniang asked curiously.

Ye Xiaoxiao blinked her eyes.

"Mother, this is the place in my dream."

Liu Yunniang was slightly startled.

"A place in a dream? Xiaoxiao, how could you dream of such a place?"

Ye Xiaoxiao frowned and tried hard to recall her dream.

"Mother, I don't know why I dreamed of this place, but I feel that this place is very familiar, as if I have been there before. Moreover, there is another person in the dream..."

"There's another person? Who is it?"

Liu Yunniang asked.

"It was a little boy, about eight years old. He had a jade pendant on him, exactly the same as the one on my neck."

Ye Xiaoxiao said this while pointing to the jade pendant around her neck.

Liu Yunniang looked at the jade pendant on Ye Xiaoxiao's neck, and an inexplicable worry surged in her heart.

She was of course aware of the magic of this jade pendant. Could it be that there was another person in this world who had the same adventure as Xiaoxiao?

"Xiaoxiao, how long have you been having this dream?"

Liu Yunniang asked, she had never heard Xiaoxiao mention this dream before.

Ye Xiaoxiao tilted her head and thought about it.

"It's been several days, mother. I have been wondering what this dream means, so I want to draw it to see if I can find some clues."

Liu Yunniang gently touched Ye Xiaoxiao's head.

"Xiaoxiao is really smart, but this dream might just be a coincidence, don't take it too seriously."

Ye Xiaoxiao shook her head.

"Mother, I think this dream must have some special meaning. I must find that little boy and solve this mystery."

"Xiaoxiao, let's not rush this matter. Let's slowly look for clues when we have a chance, okay? Maybe this dream is just a coincidence."

Liu Yunniang said gently.

Ye Xiaoxiao had no intention of giving up.

"Mother, can you help me make an appointment with General Xiao? I have something I want to ask him. If he can't solve the doubts in my heart, I'm afraid I won't be able to rest easy. I always feel that the person in my dream is very important to me. Mother, can you help me?"
