Ran Mo was slightly startled. She was a person who was quite sensitive to words. Ayi Li said she was thinking of her mother, not thinking of her mother. This made her mind flicker with a thought. Perhaps she was just overthinking it.

Upon hearing this, Qingsheng asked with concern, "Is your mother still living in Hudi? Is she well?" Ayili's eyes slightly avoided her gaze when she heard this. Then she said calmly, "My mother is fine. Thank you, Brother Sheng, for your concern."

Qingsheng nodded and asked, "Has your mother ever been to Dayue Kingdom?" Aili was silent for a moment and nodded heavily.

Qingsheng piqued his interest and said, "You two must have a close relationship with our Dayue Nation. Tell me, when did your mother come here? Does she know anyone here?"

Aili shook her head and said, "My mother came here a long time ago, before I was born, and she didn't tell me much."

Qingsheng was silent for a moment. He didn't ask any further questions. Perhaps he had a thought. He and Ayi were both quite miserable people. Of course, Ayi's was much more miserable than his.

Ran Mo smiled at Aili in a friendly manner and said, "You and your daughter are both connected to our Dayue Nation. If there is a chance in the future, you can invite your mother to visit you and revisit the old place."

Ayi Li's expression changed slightly, and she said, "Thank you Ranmo for your concern. I'll be able to do it if there's a chance." Then she turned to Qingsheng and said, "Thank you Brother Sheng for arranging accommodation for me. Otherwise, I really don't know what I would do."

Qingsheng waved his hand, signaling her to leave it at that. Aili continued, "Actually, I do have a wish for coming here." She paused, "My mother once told me that she also has friends and people worth caring about in Dayue Country."

Their eyes lit up when they heard this. If they could help Ayili find her mother's old friend, it would not only fulfill their wish, but also give Ayili a sense of reliance, connection, and belonging.

Ayi Li pondered for a moment and said, "My mother said that she lived mainly in Dayue City and knew a prominent family. But she didn't tell me who this family was."

Huh? That's strange. Could it be that Ayi's mother has some secret she's not willing to reveal? Qingsheng patted his chest and said, "When it comes to the nobles of the capital, I know everything about them. If you give me even the slightest clue, I can probably figure out which family they are from. If that doesn't work, you can ask my friends to help me find out."

Aili blinked, as if trying to recall if her mother had given her any useful information. She also hoped to find some clues so that Brother Qingsheng could help find someone her mother knew.

She thought about it carefully and finally remembered a detail. She told them that she had seen her mother secretly using a branch to draw something on the ground more than once. At first, she thought her mother was painting, but later, she stole a peek and saw that she was writing a single word.

What character? The two asked almost simultaneously. Ayili rolled her eyes and said, "It's two wood characters..." Hey, isn't that the character "Lin"? Qingsheng rushed to say, "There are indeed several powerful families with the surname Lin in the capital. If you ask around, you should be able to find this Mr. Lin your mother mentioned."

Aili smiled and said, "I haven't finished yet." Then she continued, "There seems to be another character under the word 'Lin'. I can't see it clearly. I don't quite understand whether it is another character or a combination of it and 'Lin' to form the same character."

This? If it were another character, I'd be hard to guess. But if it were a radical under the character "林", I could deduce it.

Qingsheng said confidently: "The characters starting with 'Lin' include 'Dream', 'Sanskrit', and 'Forbidden'. And then..." He seemed to be lost in thought.

Ran Mo chuckled and said, "You seem to have forgotten one of the most common words." Qing Sheng scratched his head and asked, "What?" Then he suddenly realized, "Look at me, I'm really looking for something I can't even remember. I actually forgot such an important word."

Ran Moxin wondered where he had learned all these idioms from. However, he did guess that there was a very common character that was often used for surnames, which was his own surname - Chu.

The two of them flashed with joy, then turned to suspicion. Could it be that Ayi's mother was really talking about the Chu Mansion? Before their joy could even begin, they were struck by a sudden blow. If Ayi's mother was acquainted with the Chu Mansion, and was a Hu person, then...they couldn't help but have a thought. It was truly effortless.

Qingsheng suppressed his excitement and asked in a trembling voice, "Aili, was your mother acquainted with the Chu family in the capital?" Although the surname Chu is not uncommon, everyone knows who the Chu family in the capital is talking about when it is mentioned.

Ayi Li shook her head, saying that her mother had not mentioned the Chu Mansion to her personally and asked her not to pry too much into things.

Qingsheng was slightly disappointed. But he'd gained something today, and he'd delve deeper into the details later. He also felt a bit disappointed that he'd forgotten to ask Aili something in detail.

To be honest, he had come to Xiaoyue City with only one purpose: to find his mother. But then, for some reason, the matter seemed to have been put on hold.

As he pondered, his eyes inadvertently fell on Ran Mo. Suddenly, he felt a mixture of emotions, and quickly stopped thinking about it, and started chatting with Aili about other things.
