The entire Marquis's mansion regrets it? Too late, their little one has become the darling of t

"You should hide quickly." The village chief wanted Yu Kangjing to hide in the cellar.

But they were also afraid that the cellar would be breached.

With a determined effort, he allowed Yu Kangjing to blend into the village.

The constables searched Chen Dahu's house but didn't find him, so they searched the entire village.

But the villagers had already been informed, and they would report as soon as someone came, so they couldn't find Yu Kangjing at all.

They had no choice but to leave again.

Yu Kangjing never expected that this time, the entire Chenjia Village would help cover for him.

He froze in place.

"you……"

He didn't know what to say for a moment.

“Sir, you are a good official, and we hope you live to be a hundred years old.” One of the white-haired old men stepped forward.

Yu Kangjing immediately felt ashamed.

He was just a low-ranking official, not nearly as powerful as they imagined.

He has let down the people.

“That’s right, sir. Don’t worry, we will definitely not let those corrupt officials catch you.” The young man nodded in agreement.

Yu Kangjing was deeply moved, but unfortunately, he didn't have much money left.

He gritted his teeth and took out the jade pendant that his wife had given him when they got married.

"If you ever encounter difficulties, take this jade pendant to the Shen family residence in Shenjia Lane, Hangzhou Prefecture, and tell them my name. Someone will inform me of the situation as quickly as possible. I will do my best to help you solve your problems."

"If you can't find me in Shenjia Lane in Hangzhou, you can also look for me at the Jing'an Marquis's residence in the capital."

"No, no, no, this is too expensive," the old man waved his hands repeatedly in refusal.

"You have shown me immense kindness; please accept this." Yu Kangjing was equally resolute.

After several refusals, the village chief accepted the jade pendant on his behalf.

In the days that followed, Yu Kangjing recuperated here, and then the village chief asked the villagers to help him obtain a travel permit.

He was allowed to leave the city with Chen Dongxi and a couple from the village who had lost their child.

With the clearance documents in hand, and with someone helping to put on a show, they were able to get things done.

There is a high probability that they will be able to leave the city directly.

Yu Kangjing thought about it and realized that it was indeed a good idea, so they set off.

……

The next morning.

Yu Kangjing led Chen He and his wife, along with Chen Dongxi, to queue up and leave the city.

Soon they arrived.

The soldiers guarding the city checked their travel documents and stared at Yu Kangjing for a long time.

However, Yu Kangjing had not shaved for half a month and deliberately covered one eye, pretending that he had an eye disease.

"Sir, is it alright? My son's eye is injured, and the doctor told us to go to Hangzhou Prefecture for treatment. If we delay even one more day, I'm afraid he'll lose his eye." Chen He couldn't help but step forward when he saw that the man was still not letting them go.

Chen Dongxi's heart was pounding like a drum.

They won't be discovered, will they?

Yu Kangjing gently squeezed her palm, indicating that she didn't need to be afraid.

If they can successfully sneak into the city, they can naturally leave.

"Alright, go on, go on." The soldier checked him several times but couldn't recognize him, so he let them go.

We finally left Huzhou Prefecture.

Yu Kangjing breathed a sigh of relief.

He remained vigilant. He did not go to Hangzhou Prefecture, as he was related to the Shen family of Hangzhou by marriage. Presumably, Shi Qing would also send people to keep an eye on the Shen family.

He can't go.

He detoured to Jinling, delivered Chen He and his wife to their relatives, and then rode off with Chen Dongxi to the capital.

……

"Twenty days have passed, and my third brother still hasn't returned. Could something have really happened to him?"

Under the guise of comforting Shen Jinzhu, Cui Ruixin went to the third house and deliberately said some hurtful things.

"Can't you hope for something better, sister-in-law?" Shen Jinzhu replied indifferently.

"I was just concerned about my third brother, why did my sister-in-law have to be so sarcastic?" After sending her daughter away, Cui Ruixin couldn't help but come over here to show off her superiority.

"Sigh, I wonder how my Weiwei is doing now, whether she misses her mother, and whether she has reached Chunhua Mountain."

“No, no, definitely not,” Yu Ningyao replied.

The atmosphere that Cui Ruixin had carefully cultivated was instantly shattered. She glared angrily at Yu Ningyao, ready to yell at her.

Shen Jinzhu calmly and slowly took her daughter into her arms.

“Sister-in-law, children speak without thinking, why should you take it so seriously from a child?”

"I heard that my elder brother has added another beautiful concubine to his household. I haven't even had a chance to congratulate my sister-in-law yet. From now on, you'll have someone else to help you take care of the Marquis."

Cui Ruixin's face instantly darkened.

She had thought that the two sisters would quarrel after the Marquis took Chunying into his room, but to her surprise, they made up again.

She was so angry she almost vomited blood.

Knowing that she was still recuperating, Chunque urged Chunying to seduce the Marquis and find a way to keep him by her side.

As long as the Marquis is not allowed to go to her room, it will be fine.

Cui Ruixin grew angrier the more she thought about it, and glared fiercely at Qiu Chan beside her.

Qiu Chan hesitated, as if she wanted to say something but then stopped.

"My sister-in-law doesn't need comforting, so I'll be leaving now." She gritted her teeth, got up, and turned to leave.

Qiu Chan hurriedly followed.

She lowered her voice and said, "Don't worry, Madam, their superficial peace won't last long. If Chunying is pregnant, Chunque won't be able to sit still in the future."

"That's for the best." Cui Ruixin snorted coldly and stormed off.

Not long after she left, Shen Youxian arrived.

"Second brother, have you found out any news?" Shen Jinzhu immediately stepped forward to greet him.

Shen Youxian sighed: "The government has replied that they sent people to look for my brother-in-law, but the Huzhou Prefecture said that he took the official documents and left, and they have never seen him again."

"How could this happen?" Shen Jinzhu was unsteady on her feet and swayed as if she was about to fall.

Fortunately, Jade and Agate caught her quickly.

"Don't worry, little sister. No news is the best news right now," Shen Youxian quickly reassured her.

Shen Jinzhu nodded with tears in her eyes.

Have you received any news from your parents?

"Not yet." Shen Youxian shook his head.

Shen Jinzhu's face grew increasingly pale.

Yu Ningyao listened with growing anxiety.

She hurriedly urged the system to find out more information.

The system grumbled and complained: "Host, do you remember what kind of system I am?"

Yu Ningyao: [It's the best and most amazing system in the entire world! I've never seen a system more powerful than yours.]

She had only ever seen one such system before, so it wasn't a lie.

The system was instantly charmed by her and happily went to gather information for her.

The system returned shortly afterward.

Your father is alright and is already on his way back to the capital.

The reason he took so long to recover was because he had been injured.

Upon hearing the words "injured," Yu Ningyao's heart tightened.

How did he get injured? Is it serious?

She quickly pressed for more information.

I fell into a trap and twisted my ankle, but it's not serious.

Hearing this, Yu Ningyao finally felt relieved.

"Little sister, don't make that long face. Look, Yaoyao's brows are all furrowed." Shen Youxian pointed to Yu Ningyao beside him.

“I believe my third sister’s husband is a lucky man, and he must be on his way back.”

Yu Ningyao looked at her uncle in surprise.

Oh wow, he actually guessed right.

She quickly took her mother's hand and comforted her, "Daddy's back."

“Listen, even Yaoyao said so. The princess said she’s a lucky star, so she must be right,” Shen Youxian quickly comforted his sister.

Yu Ningyao nodded eagerly, pointing to her own nose: "Little lucky star! Your predictions are always right~~~"

Watching the uncle and nephew singing in unison, Shen Jinzhu finally smiled.

She reached out and affectionately pinched her daughter's nose: "Okay. Don't be afraid, let's wait patiently for your father to come home."

However, to their surprise, a few days later, they were met not by Yu Kangjing.

She was a little girl.

The officials brought Chen Dongxi over.

"Third Madam, Lord Yu is still reporting on official business. He asked me to send the child back to the Marquis's residence first."

Shen Jinzhu: ...?

Why has my husband picked up another child, and one that's already old enough to remember things?

Is he addicted to picking up children?
