The daughter of a noble family is reborn, and she is doted on by her godmother.

“Mother…” Liu Zhou’er hugged her mother.

Although Liu Zhou'er was young at the time, she still remembered that when her father first disappeared, a group of people were chasing after her mother and brother to collect debts. Their early life was really tough.

If it weren't for Boss Yun's help later, my brother and I might not have had a good life.

During the chaos in the hall, I was actually hiding behind the door, peeking through the crack at the man I should call "father".

If it weren't for Yuan Chen holding me back, I might have really rushed out.

"Zhou'er, calm down. Your mother specifically told you not to go out yet, have you forgotten?"

Hearing her mother's description, as well as Boss Yun's and Qingqing's description, she felt a surge of anger.

"Why should he enjoy such a life?"

"Auntie, Zhou'er, don't get agitated. Let's discuss this properly. This isn't over yet."

Yun Yuke quickly stopped them, picked up the teapot on the table, and poured a cup of water for the mother and daughter in front of her.

"Qingqing, you've had quite a bit of contact with this person just now. Besides what you saw, what else do you think about him? Can you make some inferences?"

The mother's tests didn't stop. The two of them had played similar games before, trying to deduce people's identities based on their clothing and behavior on the street.

Yun Qingjin nodded, "Yes, let me think back carefully..."

After waiting for a while, Yun Qingjin spoke.

"This guy... oh dear, I don't want to call him a guest, so I'll just call him Old Liu. Old Liu is dressed in expensive clothes and accessories, and even the servant who came to see him is dressed in expensive clothes and is driving a carriage. I feel like these people are not just simply rich."

"Then this old man bought one of our Springtime Apartments. I just grabbed it randomly. This apartment is specifically for young women and young ladies. He glanced at it and didn't think it was bad, which means he bought it for someone who isn't too old."

"Is it his daughter? It's possible. He's been missing for over ten years. If he quickly married and had a daughter, it's possible she would wear this set. But the servant said it was his wife who came to see him? Maybe his wife is very young, and this set of jewelry was bought for her."

At this point, Yun Qingjin glanced at Aunt Hua. Aunt Hua's expression was calm, as if she were listening to a stranger's story, and it seemed that she had let it go.

Let's continue the analysis then.

“Mother, I’ve never seen such a generous guest before. You offered him over two hundred taels of silver as compensation, which anyone could tell was far too much, but he seemed to want to avoid trouble and didn’t haggle much. He just threw a money pouch at him. And he didn’t even haggle over the Springtime Set.”

Yun Yuke nodded, "I deliberately quoted this price, and this person didn't haggle at all. I could tell that he's both a real tycoon and someone who cares a lot about his image."

"Her concern for saving face hasn't changed at all," Aunt Hua added, nodding.

"The servant who came to see him... Old Deng called that man 'Deng He'? A servant in the household... surnamed Deng?"

When Yun Qingjin recalled this incident, she felt something was off when she first heard the other person's name.

"Old Deng didn't change his name, did he? He's still surnamed Liu, right? Why are the servants in his household surnamed Deng?"

"Perhaps they're just ordinary servants? Isn't it normal for them to have different surnames?" Yuan Chen, who had been listening nearby, voiced his doubts.

“That makes sense…” Thinking about it, Yun Qingjin realized that she had been overthinking things. She had originally thought that most personal servants took the surname of their own family, but now that she heard it, she felt that she might have been overthinking it.

"Old Deng seems to have passed through Changgan City? That person mentioned an inn earlier... Does that mean that person probably won't stay in Changgan for too long?"

This should be considered a crucial piece of information.

For a moment, the people in the room were all a little uncertain.

In the end, Yun Yuke made the final decision, "Okay, we'll deal with whatever comes our way. Now that we know this person might be powerful and wealthy, we've confronted him today. Who knows what will happen after that? In case of an emergency, let's hide for now. Zhou'er and Aunt Hua shouldn't go out for the next few days. Let others handle the shopping."

Aunt Hua hesitated for a moment, "Will this... work?"

Yun Yuke analyzed carefully, "Qingqing's analysis just now is basically the same as what I thought. These are the strange things. I can't see anything else. I can only say that we need to continue to observe."

Yun Qingjin felt a little proud when she heard her mother praise her.

"Don't worry, things outside the city have been basically settled these past two days, so I don't need to leave the city this month. I'll handle the investigation." Yun Yuke took on all these tasks.

"Mom, I can join you too!" Yun Qingjin jumped around excitedly, trying her best to get involved.

"Although I'm happy to see you're willing to get involved, don't forget you still have the task of delivering goods," Yun Yuke reminded her child.

"Don't worry, Mom, I've planned everything out."

Yun Yuke shook her head slightly, "Qingqing, I know you care about your Aunt Hua, but don't forget that you have to fulfill your responsibilities. Shouldn't we prioritize the work of our shop? It's good that you stay here to keep watch, in case that person comes again..."

“I understand. I’ll stay in the shop and handle it. My child is young, so even if that person wants to do something, he’ll probably have many concerns.”

After hearing the arrangements, Liu Zhou'er bowed deeply to Yun Yuke and Yun Qingjin, and the Yun mother and daughter quickly stepped forward to help her up.

"Boss Yun, many years ago you saved my whole family, and you also took in all three of us. Today you have helped me out of my predicament. I have no way to repay you. Please accept my bow."

Yun Yuke rushed forward to help the other person up. As she helped her up, a scene she had seen a few years earlier flashed before her eyes—Grandma Hua holding Zhou'er's body, crying and lamenting why she hadn't been able to protect her daughter.

The image is now clearer; if this is a harbinger, then it must be the impending crisis.

"Zhou'er, please don't stand on ceremony. We've been family for over twenty years. Family members don't stand on ceremony. If a family member is in trouble, how can the other family members not help?"

“Yes, we will all help.” Behind them, Yuan Chen, Yun Qingjin, and the other members of the Yun family who had gathered there after hearing about this said the same thing.

Seeing that everyone in the Yun family was united, Yun Yuke felt much more at ease. After reassuring everyone, Yun Yuke returned to her study and took out the special mirror she had used before from her bag.

Before handing the Springtime Collection to Liu Jie, Yun Yuke secretly pressed the tracking device she had used before into the carved seam of the box.

The tracker is now working properly, and we can see from the master mirror where the jewelry set has been taken.

"Inn……"

Yun Yuke recalled the map of Changgan City and saw that the point was located in the middle of Changgan City.

"This seems to be... the largest inn in the city, the Cloud Travel Inn."

The first room in the "Heaven" tier of the Yunxing Inn.

Liu Jie straightened his clothes, solemnly carrying the set of jewelry he had just bought, named "Full of Springtime," and went inside.

"My dear wife, look at the new gadgets I bought for you."
