My reborn husband and son are thinking about how to kill me every day.

Chen Wu asked, "Are you sure she wasn't riding a horse, or that there weren't any carriages around?"

Han Lin said, "No."

"Then..." Chen Wu wanted to say that it was probably not the same person, but after glancing at the man in front of him, he asked again, "Have you looked at the portrait carefully? The person you're talking about looks exactly like the woman in the portrait?"

Han Lin said, "To say they resemble each other, they're only about 60 or 70 percent similar. I think the woman I saw was much prettier."

After saying that, he added, "Especially when she was killing someone, her face seemed to look even more radiant."

Chen Wu initially thought this person was a mistake, or perhaps just someone who bore a slight resemblance. But after hearing Han Lin's words, he felt that he hadn't made a mistake.

He had seen the woman before when the master took them to meet her in secret.

The woman was beautiful, but her beauty... was somewhat vulgar.

But when she later committed murder, he found her even more beautiful than before. How to put it? To describe her as breathtakingly beautiful would not be an exaggeration at all.

He even wondered if he was sick.

Now it seems that either I was sick, or that woman was evil.

He gathered his thoughts and continued, "Tell me quickly, where did she go next!"

Han Lin said, "The last time I saw her was outside Yi'an County. It seemed they didn't have enough money, so they planned to go around the mountains."

Hearing this, Chen Wu frowned again. If he hadn't mistaken her for someone else, she shouldn't be without money to go into the city, right?

Even if she killed and ate the master's prized horse, the gold and silver in the carriage would be enough for them to enter the city!

Chen Wu couldn't figure it out, so he questioned Han Lin again. After confirming that he couldn't get any new information, he gave each of them ten taels of silver.

As they left the shop, Skinny Monkey was still somewhat incredulous. "Brother, he just gave us ten taels of silver like that?"

This money is being made way too easily!

“We were lucky.” Han Lin said solemnly, as if he had just thought of something. “But after this, you’d better not get involved in anything related to that woman again.”

The skinny monkey was still eyeing the reward of one hundred taels of silver.

But thinking that he had escaped danger several times along the way because of his elder brother, he quickly and honestly replied, "Don't worry, elder brother, I'll listen to you. When we get back, I'll tell the brothers not to talk nonsense."

Although he received Skinny Monkey's assurance, Han Lin had a strange feeling that this matter was probably not over yet.

On the other side, after receiving the news from the two, Chen Wu immediately led his men to Hongdu.

Based on the information he received from Han Lin, it's clear that if he leads his men into the mountains to chase after them, they will definitely not be able to catch up.

As the residence of Prince Rui, Hongdu was safer and more developed than other places.

He felt they were more likely to settle down near Hongdu.

At this moment, Village Chief Mu also talked to Lu Yinheng about where to settle down after crossing the river.

Lu Yinheng was busy tying up the bamboo raft when he heard Village Chief Mu's words. He paused for a second before slowly uttering the words "Hongdu".

Village Chief Mu asked worriedly, "Where is Hongdu? Will the official require us to pay silver to enter the city?"

Lu Yinheng said, "I heard that Prince Hongrui lives in Hongdu, so it's unlikely that he would accept money."

It may not be easy to settle down and settle down.

However, a resolute glint quickly flashed in his eyes; even if it wasn't easy, he was determined to get it done.

He will never let his family suffer with him again in this lifetime.

Thinking about his past life, he couldn't help but think of his daughter again, and looked towards where his daughter was.

Lu Yuzhu was eating yam cakes that her mother had made for her.

Ji Yunshuang found the yams in the mountains when the team stopped to build bamboo rafts these past two days.

She moved some to her spatial storage to plant, and used the rest to create delicious food.

After steaming the yam until cooked, mash it into a paste, add a little flour, knead it into a dough, and shape it into small pancakes. Once the oil in the pan is hot, fry the pancakes until golden brown on both sides, then they are ready to be taken out of the pan.

As soon as Ji Yunshuang started peeling the yams, the little girl softly followed her mother, stretching out her tiny, tender hands to help her.

Ji Yunshuang didn't dare let her touch the yam peel, afraid that her hands would itch, so she moved a wooden stump for her to use as a stool and let her stand aside as a lucky charm.

Zhuzhu is too young to be of much help, but the emotional value she provides is unmatched by anyone.

The little girl kept praising her mother's beauty, and then said that her mother, who was making yam cakes, was like a fairy descended from heaven...

Sweet words flowed out like they were free, making Ji Yunshuang overjoyed.

After making the yam cakes, Ji Yunshuang first filled a bowl and served it to the little girl.

Lu Yuzhu was enjoying her meal when she noticed her father's gaze.

The little girl, holding a bowl, ran over, looked up at her father, and said sweetly, "Daddy, eat some pancakes. Mommy made them, and they're so delicious!"

Seeing his daughter's smile, Lu Yinheng's cold aura instantly dissipated, and he said gently, "Zhuzhu, eat. Daddy isn't hungry."

Little Jade Pearl, however, insisted on being fed. Helpless, Lu Yinheng had no choice but to squat down and cooperate with his daughter in feeding him.

Watching her father eat, Xiao Yuzhu raised her chin, looking for praise, and asked, "Mommy, isn't it delicious?"

Lu Yinheng smiled and said, "Mmm, it's delicious."

Not satisfied with her father's praise, Xiaoyuzhu continued to ask, "Zhuzhu's mother is very amazing, isn't she?"

Lu Yinheng's eyes deepened slightly as he looked at his daughter's expectant gaze. He smiled as if in relenting and nodded, saying, "Yes, Zhuzhu's mother is very capable."

Xiao Yuzhu was finally satisfied. She ran back to Ji Yunshuang's side with the bowl in her arms, "Mother, did you hear that? Father said you're amazing."

The large pot and the bamboo raft were not far apart, and Ji Yunshuang overheard the conversation between the father and daughter.

Thinking of the man's helpless expression, yet his reluctance to comply with his daughter's praise, she found it amusing.

She said, "I heard you, my sweet baby!"

When Lu Yuzhu heard her mother call her "baby," her face lit up with joy.

Although she was young, she knew the meaning of "treasure." The villagers often used this word to describe something extremely precious.

Now that her mother calls her "baby," does that mean she's also something very, very precious to her mother?

Thinking this to herself, Xiaoyuzhu voiced her doubts.

Ji Yunshuang looked at her and said earnestly, "Of course you are your parents' most precious treasure!"

"But..." Xiaoyuzhu was still a little confused, "Before, they all said I was a girl, a useless piece of trash..."

Not only did their uncles and aunts say this, but even the Sun family aunts and Hu family aunts who were fleeing with them sometimes said the same thing.

A cold glint flashed in Ji Yunshuang's eyes; she hated those who favored sons over daughters the most.

Especially those women who, despite being victims of a patriarchal society, eventually become perpetrators.

She said, "That's because they're ignorant. They don't understand. Zhuzhu, don't listen to them. Just remember that you will always be your parents' precious treasure. The most precious treasure."

“Mmm!” Lu Yuzhu replied sweetly.
