The dirty little girl standing in front of the carriage heard the sound and ran over quickly, looking at her second sister, who was completely different from before, with teary eyes.

She glanced furtively at Mu Yunnan, who was dressed in extremely expensive clothes. This man had wrecked their house and stove while wearing armor last time, and was even more terrifying than her mother.

Sanya slowly moved to the side of the carriage, making sure to leave some space so as not to soil the luxurious-looking carriage with her dirty clothes.

Mu Yunnan frowned as she looked at her. She had absolutely no good feelings towards Yu Xi's family from before. If it were any of the other members of that family, she might have had them beaten up and thrown far away. But this girl had always followed Yu Xi in her past life. She had also suffered quite a bit because of that woman in her past life.

Mu Yunnan showed some dislike for her, but he still held back and let Xixi handle it herself.

When Mu Yunchen heard Yu Xi mention his third sister, he knew who she was. He had only heard them mention her in his previous life; this was the first time he had ever seen her. In his previous life, she had been tricked into coming to the capital by that man and given to the Wang family as a concubine. Then, while pregnant, she escaped to Yu Xi's territory. After Yu Xi learned what that man had done, she went to his house and had him castrated.

Thinking of this, Mu Yunchen felt a chill and silently took a step back.

Xiao Yuxi looked at her anxious but speechless third sister with a puzzled expression. When she was little, she was often punished by her mother, sometimes even forced to kneel until late at night. It was her third sister who would secretly hide a cornbread for her to eat.

Therefore, in the family, she was only close to her third younger sister.

However, her third sister was different at home. Her parents liked her very much because her third sister was fair-skinned and beautiful. She heard her father say that someone had already given her a betrothal gift in advance, and they were just waiting to marry her later.

How did it come to this, looking like a beggar?

Xiao Yuxi quickly scrambled off the car. Mu Yunnan followed behind, carefully protecting her, and only breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that she was unharmed.

"What's wrong with my third sister?"

Seeing that her second sister was being cared for, Sanya felt a pang of envy, but the thought only flashed through her mind for a moment. Her voice trembled slightly with tears as she said, "Father's leg is broken. Mother said that you and I are close, so she brought me to the capital to find you, saying she wanted to ask you for Father's medical expenses. But this morning, Mother said she saw him and then left. I waited for a long time, but Mother didn't come back. Some of them saw me and tried to pull me away. I'm scared, second sister."

At the end of the story, I burst into tears.

She embellished her mother's words in her own words. Her mother had scolded her second sister for a long time on the way, saying that her father's leg was caused by her second sister, that they had raised her for so long, and that her second sister should give them money, and so on.

She couldn't learn many dirty words well.

When Xiao Yuxi heard that her mother had come to the capital, she trembled with fright, but she still resolutely and carefully took Sanya's hand, "Come back with me first, and I'll have my sister help you find her."

After Xiao Yuxi finished speaking, she looked up at Mu Yunnan pitifully and asked, "Is it okay, Second Sister?"

Mu Yunnan looked at the dirty hand she was holding, frowned slightly, jumped off the carriage, and said coldly, "Let go."

Sanya was so startled that she immediately let go of his hand and awkwardly hid it behind her back.

Mu Yunnan snorted, picked up Xiao Yuxi and put her in the carriage, then disdainfully grabbed Sanya by the collar and pulled her into the carriage as well.

Sanya stood fearfully in the carriage, not daring to sit down, afraid of getting the plush cushions on the seats dirty, which she couldn't afford to pay for.

Seeing her flustered appearance, Xiao Yuxi quickly reached out and pulled her closer to her, comforting her, "Don't be afraid, Second Sister is a very nice person."

Sanya spoke in a trembling voice, "I'm not afraid..."

It's clearly not a convincing statement.

"You mean Father's leg is broken?"

Sanya secretly glanced at Mu Yunnan.

Mu Yunnan frowned. "Why are you looking at me like that? It's not like I cut off your father's leg."

Mu Yunnan disliked this family, and he also disliked Sanya, who had the blood of the Hu family.

"No...no. Father broke his leg when he went to chop firewood on the back mountain after you left that day, Second Sister," Sanya explained weakly.

"Then my eldest sister started crying and making a scene at home, and the county magistrate even took away the land that had been allocated to her. There was really no other way. The door was broken, the stove was broken, and my mother said she was going to come to the capital to ask for money."

"I didn't want to. But my mother insisted on dragging me here, so we secretly rode in a caravan's wagon to the capital."

"Then Mother inquired about the location of the Duke of Mu's mansion and took me to squat at the gate every day. We had been beaten by people from the mansion before. Then Mother said that we had to wait for a woman who looked to be of some status so that we could get the money."

“But this morning, a beautifully dressed older sister came out of the Mu residence, and Mother said we should wait for her to return.”

"Around noon, Mother said she was back and ran out. I followed her, but she disappeared at a side gate of the Mu residence. I waited for a long time but didn't see her. I was hungry and wanted to find something to eat, but someone grabbed me and insisted that I was their maid who had run away, and tried to take me away."

“No one believed me, so he just dragged me away. He locked me in a dark room, and I had to use stones to break the rope before I could climb out of the chimney.”

"Then I ran into the street and happened to see you, Second Sister, sitting in the sedan chair. I followed the carriage tracks and ran here. But the people at the gate wouldn't let me get close, so I could only stand in the middle of the road to stop the carriage."

Sanya took the pastries Mu Yunchen handed her, whispered "thank you," and then ate them bite by bite, afraid of embarrassing her second sister.

Mu Yunnan, however, extracted information from it: "You mean someone in the capital is kidnapping people on the streets?"

Sanya trembled uncontrollably upon hearing Mu Yunnan's voice.

Yu Xi patted her third sister's hand reassuringly. She had always known that her third sister was timid, but why would her second sister, who was such a good person, be afraid?

Yu Xi was puzzled, but she still comforted her, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, just tell me. Second sister is a very powerful general, she is a good general who protects the country and the people, don't be afraid."

Sanya nodded silently. "Yes, I was just asking for a steamed bun when suddenly someone appeared out of nowhere and tried to grab me. At first, some people tried to stop me, but they said I was a maid they had just bought and had escaped. So they stopped trying to stop me and even helped tie me up. Then that person took me away."

Suddenly, Sanya remembered something and asked her second sister anxiously, "Second sister, do you think Mother might have been kidnapped by them too? Otherwise, why would Mother disappear? She said she wouldn't abandon me, waaaah..."
