On the way back in the carriage, Zhizhi suddenly noticed something flashing in Mingyue's hair.

When I took a closer look, I realized it was a auspicious cloud hairpin.

Taotao usually helps the young lady to tie her hair, and she always watches by her side.

But, this hairpin didn’t exist at the beginning…

"Miss."

"Hmm?" Mingyue raised her eyes tiredly.

Zhizhi simply took off the hairpin carefully, "Miss, when did you put this hairpin on?"

Mingyue was also surprised, "Ah? When did it appear? How come I didn't notice it!"

She held the auspicious cloud hairpin in her hand. It felt heavy. "It's made of pure gold!"

"It must have been Miss Yu who secretly put it on you. She's the only one who is so wealthy." Taotao gave this answer very confidently.

"That makes sense." Mingyue couldn't put it down. "Sister Yu is so nice!"

I instantly became happy again, and all the unhappiness I had felt at Xiaobaiyun Temple disappeared.

So much so that when she got off the car, she rushed towards Yu Youyou who was learning to ride a horse outside, "Sister Yu! Are you tired after riding a horse for so long?"

Mingyue took out a handkerchief, stood on tiptoe, and carefully wiped the sweat from her forehead.

Yu Youyou was a little flattered. Is the sun rising from the west?

Minghao: Am I dead?! You're such a grown man standing here, why don't you wipe my sweat off my face? I'm your brother!

Not to mention Zhao Yunshan, my heart is broken into pieces, but luckily I have a wife~

After staying in Yuhang for a few more days, Mingyue and her family returned to Minzhou.

When I left, I was reluctant to leave for a while.

The return journey was quickened. They no longer lingered on the scenery, but instead hurried back to Minzhou. This was because Zhao Yunshan had received news that there might be unusual activity on the sea near Minzhou.

"Dad, what happened?" Minghao looked at Zhao Yunshan's frown and asked worriedly.

"Fishermen from Minzhou reported that bandits had appeared in the nearby waters. When they encountered smaller boats, they killed everyone on board like robbers, throwing their bodies into the sea and their heads onto nearby boats."

"What? So cruel!" Minghao gritted his teeth in anger.

Mingyue's eyelashes, which were pretending to be asleep, trembled, and she unconsciously clenched her fists.

"Yeah, I have to go back and see what happened!"

"Dad, has there ever been such a thing in Minzhou before?"

Zhao Yunshan shook his head, remembering the files he'd read when he first arrived in Minzhou. "No. While there have been robbers and bandits, I've never encountered anyone this brutal."

Minghao patted his head and said, "If only Big Brother were here, I'm afraid I wouldn't be of any use."

"Hey, don't say that." Zhao Yunshan touched his red forehead.

"We just sent your elder brother off and we received this news. I'm afraid it's God's will. What's more, he is studying peacefully in the academy, so we should not disturb him." Jiang Mengrou also comforted him.

Minghao didn't understand what fate meant. He just felt that if his elder brother was here, he would be able to guess the origins of that group of people.

Mingyue's breath hitched. It seemed that her elder brother had said the same thing. Could it be that he had anticipated this?

That day, Mingyue was so angry that she couldn't leave Mingyang. Mingyang tried to comfort her while explaining that he had just received the news as well. He seemed to have whispered at that time, "It is impossible to defy God's will."

Mingyue couldn't help herself. She pretended to have just woken up and rubbed her eyes. "Dad, Mom, Second Brother, what are you talking about?"

Jiang Mengrou winked at the father and son, and they immediately stopped talking.

"It's nothing. Your father is talking about buying you some of the freshest crabs. I heard that the crabs are as big as a baby!" Jiang Mengrou was afraid that this matter was too bloody, and Mingyue was still young and might have nightmares after hearing about it, so it was better not to let her know.

"Really?!" King crab?!

"Of course." Zhao Yunshan smiled and casually put the secret letter into his sleeve.

Mingyue didn't miss his action, but she didn't delve into it. After all, she could find out for herself after returning. After all, Ma Yang was a big sieve that she had under her control.

She couldn't help but think of the "pervert" look Ma Yang had on his face towards Shen Ru at that time. This was probably enough for her to take control of Ma Yang before Shen Ru knew his feelings.

Jiang Mengrou and the other two felt a chill run down their spines as they watched Mingyue's inexplicable laughter. Well, as long as she didn't ask about what happened just now, it didn't matter.

After returning to Minzhou, the family of four all had their own things to do.

On the surface, Zhao Yunshan took his second son to the military camp to practice martial arts, but in fact they were going to investigate things at sea; Jiang Mengrou dealt with trivial matters in the mansion and the return gifts from the wives of various officials.

Mingyue took the two little girls and ran to the area where Ma Yang often patrolled.

Before long, he ran into Ma Yang, who looked exhausted.

"Puff, puff, puff."

Ma Yang was instantly attracted by this familiar yet strange voice. He turned around and saw the little man standing on the small tea stall.

"Little Princess, why are you here?" Ma Yang whispered. He was a little surprised. Didn't the little princess just come back from Yuhang? She didn't even bother to rest and already ran out to play on the street?

Mingyue hooked her finger at him and said, "Come."

"Hey!" Ma Yang lowered his head, hunched over, and walked into the tea stall, sitting down opposite Mingyue. However, this small stool was a bit uncomfortable.

"come over."

Ma Yang was stunned for a moment, then he leaned over and whispered like a thief, "What's wrong, little princess?"

"Tell me, what important things have happened in Minzhou recently?" Mingyue looked very serious at this time, with two maids standing on her left and right, staring at the people next to them.

Ma Yang still wanted to play dumb, "No, how could that be? It's impossible."

Little did people know that when he lied, his eyes would glance to the right and his fingers would constantly tickle the tassels around his waist.

"Oh, okay." Mingyue pretended to be very regretful and took out the small purse that Shen Ru made for her. "Oh, Aunt Shen asked me to find some reliable young men for Sister Shen a few days ago."

"Alas, I originally wanted to recommend you, but..."

Before Mingyue could finish her words, Ma Yang immediately jumped up from his small stool and patted his chest, "Me, me, me!"

"Am I not the most reliable young man in all of Minzhou?" Two blushes instantly appeared on his face, purely out of excitement.

"Tsk tsk tsk." Mingyue shook her head. "But you have no integrity at all. You just lied to me, so your reliability is greatly reduced."

Ma Yang immediately realized that she was talking about what happened just now. He swallowed hard and stammered, "Auntie, this, this, this, I really can't say it!"
