After time travel, share a space with your modern family.

Ruan Mumu quickly pulled on the reins, and the carriage came to a steady stop. At this moment, apart from the officials, they were the only carriage passing by.

She carefully examined the men in yamen runners' uniforms who were blocking their way, and wondered to herself: Were these men deliberately stopping us here? Was all of this arranged in advance?

At the same time, Dr. Liu also thought of the same problem. The most crucial thing right now is how to deal with the current situation.

Doctor Liu and Ruan Mumu exchanged a glance, quickly jumped off the carriage, and Doctor Liu strode up to the officers, bowed slightly, and respectfully asked, "Gentlemen, is there anything we can do for you?"

The officer who appeared to be the leader spoke in a serious tone, “We have just received a report of a robbery on Shiji Mountain. The robbers are fleeing towards Xiyang County. The magistrate has ordered us to set up a checkpoint here to inspect passersby and to bring the robbers to justice. We hope you can cooperate with us.”

After saying that, he signaled to the other officers to prepare to inspect Ruan Mumu and his group's vehicle.

Ruan Mumu stood aside, somewhat flustered. She hadn't expected this situation to arise at all and hadn't had time to formulate any coping strategies. But even though she was flustered inside, she didn't dare to show it.

At this moment, Doctor Liu spoke up again: "Since this is the official's duty, then let's cooperate with the inspection!"

After saying that, he strode to the carriage, lifted the curtain, and shouted to the people inside: "Xiaojun, Jinguang, Ziyun, you must get down and be inspected by the officials."

The people sitting in the carriage were already feeling uneasy about this matter, and upon hearing Doctor Liu's words, they immediately got off the carriage in a flurry.

Two of the officers stepped forward, lifted the carriage curtain, and began a thorough search inside the carriage.

After a careful search, they found no suspicious individuals hiding among them, so they shook their heads at their leader, indicating that they had not found any clues.

At this point, the leader spoke again: "Show me your household registration records."

Ruan Mumu didn't speak, but silently took out her and Ruan Xiaojun's household registration from her bosom and handed it to the official in front of her.

She was secretly pondering a problem: Doctor Liu's nephew didn't have a registered residence; how could they solve this problem? Although Liu Shengxu had just drunk the spiritual spring water, his physical condition hadn't fully recovered, and his movements were somewhat slow. If the officials suddenly made their move, how would they respond?

Just then, Doctor Liu calmly took out three household registration records from his pocket and handed them to the official.

Ruan Mumu couldn't help but wonder, just how many household registration records did this Doctor Liu carry with him? Could he possibly have some kind of precognitive ability, knowing that his nephew would suddenly arrive? That seemed highly unlikely!

After checking the identities of the people with their household registration records, the officials who had verified the identities of Ruan Mumu and the others finally turned to Liu Shengxu.

The official, holding Liu Ziyun's household registration, asked Liu Shengxu, "Your name is Liu Ziyun?"

Liu Shengxu nodded without saying anything.

Then he turned to look at Dr. Liu, who nodded at him, and Liu Shengxu finally felt much more at ease.

"What is your relationship with him?" the officer asked Liu Shengxu suspiciously.

"Father-son relationship".

"Father-son relationship".

Dr. Liu and Liu Shengxu answered at the same time.

The answers are consistent.

The official nodded.

The two not only secretly rejoiced at their tacit understanding, but also breathed a sigh of relief.

"Sixteen years old? He looks like he's twenty-five." The officer looked at Liu Shengxu's face again.

Liu Shengxu was inwardly seething with rage. Damn official, what kind of eyesight do you have? I'm only eighteen, I haven't even married a princess yet, and you insist I'm twenty-five! I'm so handsome, yet in your eyes I'm a twenty-five-year-old old man!

But in order not to give himself away, Liu Shengxu could only nod and reply, "A farmer, you look a little older than you are."

Seeing Liu Shengxu's flushed face, Ruan Mumu knew he was definitely upset about being told he looked old. Little did Liu Shengxu know that in the carriage earlier, Ruan Mumu had applied a layer of powder to his fair face just in case, making him appear somewhat aged.

At this moment, everyone was glad that Ruan Mumu had acted so cleverly.

After repeated verification three times, the officials finally confirmed that Liu Shengxu's appearance matched the description of "Liu Ziyun" in the household registration.

But he still had some doubts, because Liu Shengxu didn't look like an ordinary farmer.

However, since there was no problem with his household registration, he could only choose to believe the facts before him.

Seeing that the officials still looked suspicious, Doctor Liu quickly stepped forward, handed a tael of silver to the head of the officials, and bowed again, saying, "Sir, you've worked hard. Please give the brothers a cup of tea."

The head constable looked at the silver in his hand, a hint of satisfaction flashing in his eyes, but his face remained serious.

The head constable sized up Liu Shengxu and his men again, pondering their identities and backgrounds. Although their appearance didn't match that of robbers, he had a feeling that things weren't so simple.

However, these people are registered as ordinary villagers, and almost all the information matches up.

So he decided to put aside his doubts for the time being and stop pursuing the matter.

The head constable waved to Liu Shengxu and the others, saying, "Hurry up and go! Don't delay our business."

After saying this, he turned and led the other officers to continue their patrol. Doctor Liu breathed a sigh of relief, took the household registration records of the group from the officers beside him, and hurriedly walked towards the carriage.

Ruan Mumu couldn't understand how Doctor Liu could have prepared an extra copy of the household registration for his nephew. He certainly wouldn't produce the real household registration for his nephew; what if the person waiting here was his nephew?

No one dared to speak along the way. Doctor Liu personally drove the carriage. They had to leave this troublesome place as soon as possible. If the officials discovered something was wrong and chased after them on horseback, their carriage would definitely not be able to outrun their horses.

After the carriage had been traveling for about half an hour, and with about a quarter of an hour left before they reached the city gate, Doctor Liu finally slowed down and let Ruan Xiaojun take over driving. The tension he had been under throughout the journey had left him feeling somewhat tired.

Doctor Liu continued to sit with Liu Shengxu on one side of the carriage. He then took out a household registration book from his pocket, checked it to make sure it was correct, and handed it to Liu Shengxu, saying, "Xu'er, you can use the name 'Liu Ziyun' for now. This is the household registration book. Keep it safe, it will make things easier if you need to do anything."

Liu Shengxu took the household registration book and put it in his pocket, looking gratefully at his third uncle who had doted on him since childhood.

"Third Uncle, where are we going right now?" Liu Shengxu asked.
