The whole family is reborn, and their five-year-old child becomes the darling of the entire capital.

Xiao Yuxi looked up at the hole above. The hole was actually quite small, only big enough for a small child to fall down sideways. There was no special ladder to get down there.

She had just run quite far and couldn't climb back up, and she didn't know if anyone would pass by.

Xiao Yuxi sat there in a daze for a while before scrambling to her feet, hugging the parrot that was flying around wildly, and asked in a pleading tone, "Bubu, can you go out and call your aunt over?"

The parrot looked at her with its tiny, beady eyes, tucked its wings in, closed its eyes, and fell asleep right there in Xiao Yuxi's arms.

Suddenly, voices came from the dark side.

Xiao Yuxi blinked and tentatively walked towards the direction where there were people.

She used to live on the mountain, and sometimes she would get lost and stay there alone all night. Then her third sister would find her neighbor, Sister Yun, and they would come to find her the next day.

She wasn't actually afraid of being alone in the dark; in fact, she felt more comfortable in such an environment.

Xiao Yuxi walked slowly along the pitch-black road where you couldn't see your hand in front of your face.

"That child from the Xiao family actually believed you." A man's voice came through clearly.

Xiao Yuxi wanted to call out for help to get her out, but the words caught in her throat.

Xiao family?

It seems like this is something she can't hear?

Xiao Yuxi suddenly remembered a scene from the storybook Yingrui told her to put her to bed at night. One of the scenes involved a child who overheard a secret in the Prime Minister's mansion and was executed.

It is also a hidden underground space.

Xiao Yuxi suddenly covered her mouth.

But he still secretly pricked up his ears to eavesdrop. In the storybooks, the discussions in such places were all about usurpation. If it was in Yan Hou's mansion, was it Yan Hou who wanted to usurp the throne?

Xiao Yuxi deliberately moved closer to the wall, kept her mouth tightly shut, and didn't make a sound at all.

"Of course he'll believe me, but it's not what I expected. He can't get into the secret place." The woman's voice was accompanied by the sound of something falling to the ground.

"Didn't they say that using the blood of the Yulan royal family would be enough? Have you tried it?" another woman's voice rang out.

"It's practically dried up like a human. And you're asking me if I've tried it?" The woman sneered.

"So that means he's not of Yu Lan's bloodline? Then how did he become a guardian? Is Yu Lan's bloodline broken?" The second woman's voice carried a hint of confusion.

"It's impossible for it to be broken. Did you find out the identity of the man from the martial arts world that Mu Siyi, the eldest daughter of the Mu family, whom I asked you to investigate?" the man's voice rang out.

"Yes, there's no problem with his identity. He wasn't one of Yu Lan's people. He died because he encountered bandits, and it had nothing to do with Yu Lan." The first woman's voice was flat and emotionless.

"He's been following that cousin the Mu family brought back for so long, and they've had absolutely no connection? That's hard to believe, isn't it? He's so free, why doesn't he hide himself first, but instead stays at the Mu family's house? If he's not guarding something, what else could he be doing it for?" The second woman's voice was full of confusion.

“I’ve been in the Mu family for so long, so naturally I have definite information to say this. If you don’t believe me, you can check it yourself,” the first woman said with a hint of sarcasm.

"Is the child still alive?" the man asked calmly.

"Don't worry, he's still breathing. I know that if we torture him severely, making him wish he were dead, he'll eventually break down and reveal where the Yulan royal family is now." The first woman spoke with a smile, yet it somehow sounded rather sinister.

……

The three of them had been gone for quite some time, and Xiao Yuxi was still standing there, stunned.

It seems that the person they're talking about is Brother Xiao Xian?

She didn't understand most of what was being said.

But Mu Siyi is her mother's name, and her second brother had held her hand and taught her to write it stroke by stroke.

The girl brought back must be referring to her, and the only person with the surname Xiao who is with her is Brother Xiao Xian.

But what is a jade railing?

Xiao Yuxi dared not continue forward and silently retreated to her original position, only to be surprised to see that the place where someone had previously entered and exited was now covered up.

Xiao Yuxi, who wasn't initially that scared, suddenly felt a little afraid, as if someone was following her. She felt a chill down her spine.

Xiao Yuxi turned around abruptly, only to find the room empty; there was nothing there.

After being scared for a long time, Xiao Yuxi finally walked back in the same direction she had come from.

Did they seal the hole after they found her?

After circling around several times, they finally found the room where they had been staying.

There were also broken porcelain bowls on the ground.

Xiao Yuxi silently clenched her sleeves. There was only an empty house here, and there was no way out.

How did those three people leave?

There was only a table and a few chairs in the room, nothing else.

Xiao Yuxi slowly groped along the wall. The candle was almost burned out, with only a tiny bit left at the bottom. Once it burned out, there would be no light at all.

Xiao Yuxi lowered her eyes and groped her way along the wall until she reached the wall behind a chair. She suddenly stopped, pushed hard, and fell over.

When I looked up, I saw the room filled with jewels.

She fell right into the pile of jewelry.

The parrot was jolted awake by the sudden slam. It shook its head, its beady eyes suddenly lit up, and it quickly rushed into the pile of jewels. It picked out a box from the pile with its two claws, grabbed the box shakily, and flapped its wings to fly away.

"Get rich! Get rich!"

Xiao Yuxi looked at the pile of gold and silver jewelry in the room with some amazement, and carefully stood up.

When she touched the wall, she felt it was a bit strange and thought it was a path, so she tried pushing it.

But the storeroom of Lord Yan's mansion is underground, isn't it?

Is it different from the Mu family's?

The Mu family's storeroom was an entire courtyard, with everything except the land deeds piled up inside.

Her aunt also gave her a key to the storeroom, which she had visited before. Unlike this place, which was full of gold and silver jewelry, this storeroom contained all sorts of strange ornaments, as well as many fabrics and ornaments. The steward uncle said that these were all bestowed by emperors throughout history, and some were gifts from other noble families in the past.

Unlike here, the flashing lights are unsettling.

A parrot carrying a box of jewelry flew to the doorway where Xiao Yuxi had come in, shouting, "Open the door! Open the door!"

Xiao Yuxi instinctively pushed open the door and saw Bubu grab a box and fly away, only then realizing, "Bubu! You can't take other people's things!"

The parrot ignored him and flew away, landing by another wall. It turned to look at its dawdling little owner and cried, "Open the door! Open the door!"
