"But Yu'er, you need to know that even if it's called Dahuang, it's not the Dahuang you used to know. Some things are lost forever. Even so, do you still want it to be called Dahuang?"

Xiao Yu'er nodded quickly: "It's Dahuang, my Dahuang is back."

Zhan'er also hurried over. He cautiously tugged at Song Qingqian's sleeve, looked at her pleadingly, and said:

"Third Aunt, how about we call it Big Yellow? I miss Big Yellow too."

Song Qingqian nodded and said gently, "Then Third Aunt will listen to you and we'll call it Big Yellow."

"Although some feelings cannot be replaced, they can be inherited, which can be considered a way to make up for the lack."

"However, your third aunt has a task for you: to explain things to Dahuang and help it gradually accept this name."

"Third Aunt, no problem, I'll go!"

Zhan'er was overjoyed and agreed.

"I am coming too!"

Xiao Yu wiped away her tears and quickly stepped forward to grab her brother's sleeve.

Watching the two children leave, Lu Jingchuan's heart softened a little, and his gaze toward Song Qingqian held a hint of approval.

"I've already bought dinner, and it's all in the carriage, kept warm. We just need to tidy it up a bit before we can eat. These are all signature dishes from the Nanyang Grand Restaurant. When I passed by, there were many people queuing up to buy them. I heard they taste delicious, so I specially bought some back for everyone to try."

As Song Qingqian spoke, she jumped onto the carriage and took out a huge food box. The food box was indeed printed with the two large characters "Nanyang" (Southeast Asia).

"The waiter from that restaurant will have to come and pick up this food box around 5 PM. I heard it's a limited edition, and there aren't many left in the restaurant."

"Third Sister-in-law, it's so heavy! What kind of delicious food is inside?"

Lu Lanyue smiled and leaned closer to her, taking the food box from her.

"You'll find out when you get back to your room!"

Song Qingqian winked at the two of them, and they understood. They happily carried the food box to their room together.

At this moment, Madam Bai quietly pulled Song Qingqian aside and cautiously asked, "Sister-in-law, you must have spent a lot of money on this trip, right? Do you have enough money on hand?"

"We've just left the capital. What if we run out of money? How will we get there?"

"Don't take it to heart, your sister-in-law didn't mean to blame you..."

"Sister-in-law, I understand!"

Song Qingqian calmly explained, "Sister-in-law, don't worry about the money. I have a way to handle it."

"Eat whatever you like, take good care of your baby, and just relax and put your mind at ease."

"Alright then..."

Bai hesitated for a moment, then nodded helplessly.

The old lady came over and asked in confusion, "Third son's wife, feeding the horse grass is easy, but how are we going to feed the wolfhound? I remember we used to feed it meat, right?"

We exiles are already starving, where would we get the extra to give it? What if it starves to death? How heartbroken those two children would be!

In the past, she would never have worried about such a trivial matter, but things are different now, and she needs to be careful with everything she does.

Knowing that the old lady was also distressed about the money, Song Qingqian comforted her, "Mother-in-law, you don't need to worry about it. We'll let it out when we rest, and it will hunt and find food on its own."

"Won't it get lost?"

"Will not!"

"Oh!"

The old lady was skeptical, but felt she couldn't refute it, so she didn't ask any more questions.

When Bai called Zhan'er and Xiao Yu'er back to their room, they clung to Da Huang with reluctance, and she shook her head indulgently.

It would be nice if there was a wolfhound on this road of exile; at least these two children would have a beloved companion and wouldn't be so lonely.

After the group finished their dinner, they realized that Lu Yunqi hadn't shown up. In the past, he was always the first to rush out to eat, even though he was always the last to pick up his chopsticks.

"Third Brother, Second Brother isn't in our room!"

Lu Xieyue rushed back and spoke, and Bei Chu truthfully recounted the events:

"Master, the second young master is not next door!"

Lu Jingchuan's face instantly turned cold, and he ordered, "Go find the manager to help search each post station one by one. With so many soldiers at the post station, there's no way they could escape."

Watching the three leave, Song Qingqian asked in a low voice, "It's only been a little over an hour since I left and returned. Did any of you enter this room?"

Lu Xieyue shook her head frantically, choking back tears, "I knocked on the door looking for my second brother, but not only did he not open the door for me, he also yelled at me and told me to leave..."

"When?"

Around 3 PM...

The old lady clutched her chest, blaming herself repeatedly, "It's all my fault for being careless. I thought he was just being temperamental and would be fine once he thought it through. Did he...did he escape or was he captured?"

“Mother-in-law, don’t worry, let’s look for it first.”

After Song Qingqian finished speaking, she patted Bai Shi comfortingly and said, "Sister-in-law, don't worry, nothing will happen."

Bai nodded, her trembling hand touching her high, swollen belly.

The youngest son of the Gao family, who went out to buy groceries today, escaped. The Gao family members were beaten half to death by the soldiers, and even the five-year-old child was not spared.

She was truly terrified… She didn't care about dying; what she couldn't bear to leave was her child. Her husband was gone, and she had to raise their unborn child well…

“Mother-in-law, you and sister-in-law wait in the room. Lanyue, you two go and keep watch in the carriage. I'll take Dahuang out to look for something. There must be a way.”

After comforting the group, Song Qingqian pushed open the door and went out. Lu Jingchuan had already been pushed away by Bei Mu, presumably to go find Sun Wuyin.

She pulled Big Yellow out directly, let it smell the coarse linen clothes that Lu Yunqi had discarded, then let it go and find them on its own, while Song Qingqian followed behind it.

After surveying the rooms on the first floor for a while, Da Huang left the rooms and headed straight for the backyard…

As soon as Song Qingqian stepped out, she bumped into Lu Jingchuan, who was coming out of Sun Wuyin's room. His face looked rather ashen.

It's obvious without even guessing that Sun Wuyin wouldn't care; he'd probably be happy to watch the show and wouldn't help find anyone.

As soon as Da Huang entered the backyard, the exiled crowd huddled together in fear. Seeing that the soldiers ignored them, some began pointing at Da Huang and cursing at Song Qingqian:

"If he ran away, why is he coming here looking for him? That Lu Yunqi looks like a spineless coward; wasn't it only a matter of time before he ran away?"

"Yeah, didn't he make a fuss about wanting to go shopping back then? I guess when his plan didn't work out, he got impatient and jumped over the wall to run away..."

"Song Qingqian, you and I are both prisoners. Don't be so arrogant, or you will definitely face retribution!"

Song Qingqian walked straight over, raised her hand and slapped Luo Shi across the face without any mercy, warning her:

"You may not live to see my retribution, but this slap is the retribution for your foul mouth."

"Shut up if you don't want trouble, or I'll have Big Yellow tear you apart!"

As soon as Song Qingqian finished speaking, Da Huang rushed up and tackled Yu Shuowen, the eldest son of the Yu family, to the ground. Upon seeing this, everyone hurriedly made way for him.

Luo, who had just been beaten, was also frightened and trembled. This vicious dog looked even more ruthless than that bitch Song Qingqian!
