But Ningning was bewitched by the scene in front of the rouge shop. The proprietress was demonstrating how to use milk tea-colored lip balm to paint distant mountains. The little girl stood on tiptoe and pointed at the glass bottle: "I want the one that sparkles with stars!" What her fingertips pointed at was the "Galaxy Glaze" mixed with mica powder.

After Yu Ruyue bought everything the two children liked, she took them to the wonton stall and had a bowl of wontons.

Yu Ruyue leaned over to wipe the oil stains from the corners of Ningning's mouth, and looked at the fireworks all over the street in a daze.

Three years ago, she traveled through time and space due to an accident. When she arrived, her family was completely destitute and she was filled with despair. She never imagined that she would be in the situation she is in now.

Daiyu's burning of manuscripts would cause the escorts to burst into tears, Western merchants almost got into a fight over barbecue ingredients and hot pot bases, a group of scholars argued fiercely over the play "Dream of Red Mansions", and people on the streets were discussing the story of Sun Wukong and the real and fake daughter.

There were also some ladies who were having a great time in the theater while listening to operas, playing cards, mahjong, and eating. Some even asked directly if they could live there all year round.

These were things she had never thought of!

At that time, she only wanted to survive and live a good life with her parents.

The hot air from the wonton stall, wrapped in the aroma of chili peppers, spread over the eaves and mingled with the sandalwood incense wafting from the theater.

Yu Ruyue chuckled and bit open the thin outer skin of the wonton. The scalding filling numbed her tongue, but she felt deeply that this corrupt world, once ravaged by drought, was now blooming flowers that transcended time and space among the seeds she had sown.

Just as she was about to take the two children back, Shen Jiaojiao came over hurriedly and hugged her arm, "Ruyue! Please go and help me, I can't explain something to that person."

Yu Ruyue looked at the group of people in strange costumes and was a little surprised. She didn't expect that there would be so many foreigners in such a small place!

She looked at the two little ones who ran to the lacquer fan and watched intently. After thinking for a moment, she left the guards and Jingyue to the two of them.

Follow Shen Jiaojiao to deal with things over there.

Just as Jingyue and the guards bowed and saw Yu Ruyue off, they turned around and saw Anan and Ningning slipping away like loaches into the crowd of onlookers in front.

A young man in brocade clothes stood in front of him, stepping on a burly man in coarse linen clothes. He cursed, "You lowly person, how dare you refuse me? You really think you have a bad luck. I told you I want that glass mirror! Why don't you give it to me? Do you know who my father is?"

He didn't wait for the man under his feet to speak, and crushed his fingers again: "How dare a mere lowly person go against me? Today I will let you know, know, the consequences of offending me."

"Calm down, sir!" the waiter said with an apologetic smile, holding a cup of iced sour plum soup. "This glass mirror was won by this sir by winning first place in the competitive eating contest. It's his, and he has the right not to give it to anyone else."

"Yes, sir. If you want one, you can wait a little longer. A new batch of glass mirrors will arrive soon. If you come earlier, I will definitely keep an eye out for you."

"And these rules were set by the boss. You are embarrassed..."

"Snapped!"

Before the waiter could finish his words, the white jade bowl filled with iced sour plum soup hit him on the forehead, and ice chips mixed with blood splashed everywhere.

The young man didn't even look at the injured waiter, but reached out and pulled the shopkeeper who was about to go out to call for help.

He tugged at the shopkeeper's collar, the jade pendant on his waist jingling. "Where are you going? To find your master? That's even better! Tell your master, this little squire has taken a fancy to this street vendor. Either you kneel down and offer the land deed, or..."

He suddenly kicked over the steaming pot next to him, and the fragrant soup inside spilled onto the bluestone pavement, emitting puffs of white smoke. "I'll burn it all clean!"

The shopkeeper had no idea that this person wasn't just looking for trouble, but was actually trying to take over the place. Who was this person? Hadn't he inquired about their backers?

Just as he was about to speak, a very young child's voice broke the tense situation!

Ning Ning pinched her waist and slowly walked out of the crowd, "Where did this scoundrel come from? How dare he act so presumptuously on Shude Street? He must be blind."

"Humph! You still want to take these things for yourself? Where do you get such a big face?"

An An stood behind her sister with a serious look on her face.

The two little ones who suddenly appeared in the crowd were a little curious, "Whose baby is this? Why does he look familiar?"

The old man selling candy figures lowered his voice and said, "They are Mr. Yu's twins!"

Everyone instantly understood the identities of the two and looked at the two little ones with a hint of respect.

The young man opposite him squinted his eyes at the two children, who were no taller than his waist. He swung his gold-rimmed whip in the air and said, "Where did you come from, you bastard? How dare you speak to me like that?"

"You really don't want to live anymore?"

"Who are you calling a bastard?" Ning Ning suddenly rushed to the wonton stall, stood on tiptoe and scooped out a small spoonful of vinegar from the vinegar jar which was bigger than her head, and suddenly poured it on the boy, leaving dark marks on his clothes.

"My mother said that a barking dog needs vinegar to reveal its true nature! Hurry up and reveal your true nature! Then I can find a rope to tie you up quickly and stop you from barking everywhere!"

The young man looked down at his wet clothes and smelled the pungent sour smell. His eyes were red with anger. "Who does your mother think she is? My father is Captain Sun!"

"How dare you do this to me? You're simply courting death."

"You guys! Hurry up and capture these two little bitches. I will make them suffer a fate worse than death."

The guards beside him were holding knives and ready to attack, and the people who were watching the excitement were instantly filled with fear when they heard that he was the son of Captain Sun.

He quickly persuaded Ningning, "Little girl, don't mess with him, apologize quickly and ask for his forgiveness!"

"Yes, yes, if you want to save your life, kneel down and kowtow to him and beg for his forgiveness."

Ningning instantly recalled the treacherous villain who wanted to kill her mother that day, and she looked at the young man in front of her with an unfriendly look.

When the young man heard the people's advice, he laughed out loud.

"It's too late to kneel down and beg for mercy. Even if you kneel down and kowtow and lick my feet, I will not let you go."

Ning Ning's smiling face was suddenly filled with anger. Just when he was about to say something, An An behind him suddenly grabbed her hand, stuffed an oil-paper bag into her hand, and said slowly: "It's Captain Sun!"

"Last month, your father seized Widow Wang's tea stall. The month before that, he rode his horse and smashed the plaque on the door of Li's Coffin Shop. Even yesterday, he was disrespectful and disregarded the prefect."
