Famine and exile: I brought the Spirit Spring to save the entire Marquis's mansion.

"Madam, something terrible has happened! The two young ladies are missing!"

The maids and servants rushed over, looking flustered.

"If it's missing, we'll look for it; it can't possibly escape the mansion."

There are plenty of guards at the Marquis's residence. Where could two little kids like them run off to? They've probably hidden in some nook or cranny again.

The old lady was teaching Huo Zhennan to recognize people by holding up portraits.

"This is the fourth son's wife. She has a round face, like a little steamed bun, and she's so adorable!"

Huo Zhennan shook his head.

Unlike xiaolongbao, it has no pleats.

"Like a hard-boiled egg."

"You just ate a braised egg and you say it looks like a braised egg? How can a braised egg be this white? If she hears that, she'll pluck out your beard!"

Huo Zhennan covered his beard with both hands.

All the other daughters-in-law are so nice, why is the fourth son's wife so fierce?

It's best not to come here.

The nanny and maidservant were holding hands anxiously!

"No, Madam, we found a newly dug dog hole in Miss Yun's former courtyard. The young ladies must have crawled out of the manor through that hole!"

"That must have been done by Jinxiu. Hurry up and go to a busy place, especially a place that sells roast chicken and roast duck."

My two daughters have been eating too much meat lately and are a bit constipated. They've stopped eating meat for two days now, probably because they've gone out to find some.

The old lady has been taking care of him personally for two years, and she still can't figure him out!

"Yes, this servant will go and inform the Madam."

The nanny and maidservant, having escaped punishment, wiped their sweat and hurried off to search for someone.

"Roast chicken." Huo Zhennan also wanted to go.

"Without roast chicken, you can't eat much more. Come on, let's continue recognizing people. This is your fourth son."

"Another hard-boiled egg..."

Huo Zhennan pouted, his mustache twitching, his eyes wide like copper bells, as if the person in the portrait was his enemy.

……

Jinxiu and Jinxin did indeed go to the roast duck restaurant.

He even traded a copper coin for half a roast duck.

The two squatted by the roadside and shared the food, feeding the bones to a stray dog.

They wiped their mouths clean and picked each other's teeth to make sure no one could tell, then planned to sneak home through the hole without anyone noticing.

However, they couldn't find their way home!

"Sister, what should we do? It'll be dark soon if we don't go back." Jinxin was timid and looked at the alley that seemed to lead nowhere, feeling a little scared.

“You’re not a three-year-old anymore, aren’t you ashamed of being so timid!” Jinxiu said, acting like a big sister.

"Have you forgotten what Fourth Aunt taught you? Find a big store, go in and smash one of their things, and someone will naturally take us home to ask Grandma for money!"

Yeah.

The two little ones were searching in the street.

Then they saw a three-story shop with red lanterns hanging up, and people were constantly going in and out. The shop assistants were all smiles, welcoming people into the shop. They were kind people.

I will definitely send them home.

This is the one!

The two were holding hands and about to walk there when suddenly someone hugged them from behind.

"Little Xiao'er, Little Xiu'er!"

"Mother has finally seen you all!"

mother?

Jinxiu withdrew her small fist that was about to smash it.

"Mother? You are our mother?" Jinxin turned around and stared wide-eyed at the unfamiliar woman in front of her.

Why is it different from what she imagined?

“Yes, I am your mother, your own mother! We’ve been separated for so long, you’ve all forgotten your mother…”

Xu Mengwan finally managed to wait until the two children left the mansion, and followed them all the way.

The two little ones were dressed in well-fitting, piping-trimmed jackets, with two small buns tied in their hair and red necklaces. They were fair-skinned and plump, just like the lucky babies in New Year paintings.

She was dressed in tattered clothes and didn't dare to show herself. She only stopped them when she saw they were about to leave.

"Have you forgotten how your mother used to feed you and sing you lullabies to sleep at night?"

forget.

Actually, both children were cared for by wet nurses. As the second wife, Xu Mengwan could only manage to put the children to sleep a handful of times.

However, Jinxin automatically pictured the scene of her third aunt coaxing her younger sister to sleep.

The older brother and younger sister both have a mother, but they don't.

Although their grandmother, aunt, and third aunt all loved them, none of them were their mothers.

Father has returned, and Mother must return as well.

"Sister, she looks like Mother," she whispered to Jinxiu.

She felt a strong urge to get closer to this woman.

"How could that be! She looks older than my grandmother!"

Jinxiu's words made Xu Mengwan burst into tears.

She looks worse now, but she's not older than Yang Shi!

“After we parted, I missed you every day. I couldn’t eat or sleep well. How could I stay young? I remember you loved chicken legs when you were little. I bought you two…”

Xu Mengwan took out an oil paper package.

"Let's finish the chicken leg before going home."

Jinxiu picked up a chicken leg and gave one to Jinxin.

"Little Xiu'er, Little Xiao'er, come home with your mother first. I'll go and tell them about the Marquis's residence."

"Aren't you going back to the Marquis's residence?" Jin Xin asked.

Xu Mengwan's expression stiffened: "I'll go back in a few days."

"No, you have to take us back after we finish eating." Jinxiu finished the chicken leg in a few big bites, her mouth full of meat, and said indistinctly.

If you don't hurry back, the dog hole will be discovered, and you won't be able to sneak out again.

But as soon as Jinxiu finished speaking, her eyelids drooped and she collapsed to the ground.

Jin Xin is the same.

"What's wrong? What happened?" Xu Mengwan hurriedly hugged the two children.

"Hurry up and take him away! The Huo family is already looking for him!"

A woman appeared, picked up Jinxiu, and ran away.

"Sang Yuqiong, what did you feed my child?"

Xu Mengwan could only hug Jinxin and chase after them.

The chicken leg was given to her by Sang Yuqiong; she simply doesn't have the money to buy one right now.

"Just a little bit of sleeping pills."

"What? It took effect so quickly! Don't you know that children shouldn't be given sleeping pills!"

"Shut up! Xu Mengwan, you're still just a lowly concubine of the Sang family. Believe me or not, I'll sell you to a brothel!"

Xu Mengwan seemed to realize something, and she stopped leaving.

"Put the child down!"

"Xu Mengwan, it's a bit late to realize this now!" Sang Yuqiong laughed sarcastically.

Several men in black descended from the wall, snatched Jin Xin from Xu Mengwan's hands, twisted her arms, and tied her up.

"It's always easier for the mother to get what she wants. I've given them candy so many times, but these two little bastards haven't eaten it!" Sang Yuqiong said viciously.

"What are you trying to do? Let them go!"

Xu Mengwan deeply regrets her actions!

How could she trust such wicked people from the Sang family!

They wanted to help her return to the Marquis's mansion, hoping she would plead for the Sang family and persuade the Huo family to spare the Sang family.

That's not what they intended at all!

"Send the letter to the Huo family!"

Sang Yuqiong was young, but her face was full of sinister intent.

He threw a letter at one of the assassins and said viciously, "I wonder where that bastard Sang Ning'er has gone!"

The Sang family raised her, yet she allowed their property to be confiscated!

Then she thought of the Sang family's speculation.

That grand wedding was probably just for show; Sang Ning'er has likely already been dealt with by the Huo family!

That idiot, how could he possibly win Huo Chang'an's favor!
