When the three children saw Xin Yi and Fu Jiuqu, they ran over happily. Even Lao Cheng's solemn thoughts could not hide the joy in his heart, and a joyful smile appeared on his face.

"mother!"

"elder sister……"

"Lady."

The girls also followed the children, each shouting about their own things, and it was full of excitement of reunion.

Xin Yi hugged San Nian, then touched the heads of Yi Nian and Er Nian.

"Is it hard on the road?"

The child was so excited that he shook his head wildly and jumped to tell Xin Yi the interesting things along the way.

Growing up, they had never left Kaifeng Mansion, let alone traveled such a long waterway, so they were full of expectations for this trip...

Xiaosan thought about grabbing Xin Yi's sleeve to take credit.

"Mom, the Three Treasures made great achievements yesterday."

Xin Yi smiled so hard that his eyes rolled up, "Oh, what great achievements have you made? Why didn't I know?"

My mother didn't know that half of the joy of this incident was lost. Sannian didn't care to compete with her two brothers anymore. She turned back to look for Wei Mao and shouted loudly.

"Uncle Wei, Uncle Wei, come and tell my mother what I did..."

Wei Mao had just been let in by the host and his wife and was about to talk to Fu Jiuqu. After hearing this, he looked back and gave a thumbs up.

Sannian pouted, feeling a little disappointed.

Yi Nian silently stepped forward and told her sister, "Be careful in your words and deeds when you go out. Just tell your mother these things quietly. Don't make a loud noise to make others listen."

San Nian stuck out his tongue at her, made a face, and hugged Xin Yi.

"Mom, Sanbao is so brave and powerful."

Xin Yi looked at the eldest child, then at the third child, feeling warm in his heart.

"Mother knows, mother knows." She stroked the child's back, looked at Xiang Ling who was looking around, and laughed.

"Servant Cheng is not here. Let's go. It's cold outside. Let's go inside and talk..."

Xiang Ling immediately blushed.

The two girls, Xingyuan and Taoyu, looked at each other and laughed softly.

A group of people entered the house, and the host quickly brought them hot tea to warm them up. The host's little son shyly hid in the door and watched secretly. He was very curious about the three little ones and wanted to come and play, but he didn't dare...

Xin Yi hurriedly waved to him and asked them to play together.

When they went out of the city, they were all dressed plainly and not too particular, but there was still a clear difference in their clothes and demeanor. Huzi had bright eyes, but he was cautious and did not dare to speak. However, he warmed his heart with three thoughts and took the initiative to approach him.

, and took down a small carp that Bai Zhi had embroidered for her and gave it to him.

With so many people coming, the host's family seemed uncomfortable.

"Every distinguished guest is hungry, I'm going to heat up the food..."

Xiang Ling quickly said that he had eaten it on the boat.

The host's wife was at a loss. She looked at her son and then at Xin Yi, still wanting to do something.

Xin Yi smiled and said: "We will leave soon, so there is no need to bother. This time, thank you and your family for your warm hospitality."

The hostess smiled honestly, then left to boil water.

After a while, she came back with the kettle and walked around Xin Yi, looking like she was hesitant to speak.

Xin Yi looked back at her and said gently: "If you have any questions, it's okay for me to just tell you."

The host's wife's face was flushed, and it took her a long time before she said nervously: "The young lady has a gracious request... If the wife agrees, the child's father and I will be grateful. If not, we have nothing to say.

of."

Her husband nodded frequently behind her.

Xin Yi smiled and said, "Please speak."

The hostess's wife pulled her son over.

"I think my wife is a noble person. I want Huzi to follow you and become a slave. As long as I can learn some skills from you and live well..."

This is a bit sad to say.

Xin Yi had previously seen the couple and their child living alone in the wilderness with no one else at home. He felt strange. Looking at the woman's expression again, he had a vague suspicion in his heart.

"Did you encounter any difficulties? Otherwise, why would you abandon your childishness?"

The mistress of the house lowered her head, "It's... hard to say."

Xin Yi said: "Let's talk in the back room."

The two entered the small room, closed the door, and the host's wife knelt down.

"Ma'am, help me..."

Xin Yi quickly helped her, "If you have any difficulties, please tell me slowly."

The mistress of the house cried softly, "I want to ask you, my little wife, to help my son..."

This is a young couple who fled from Jiangdu.

The man's surname is He and the woman's surname is Fang.

The two have known each other since childhood and have been engaged for a long time.

Unexpectedly, the Fang family went back on their word when the wedding day was approaching and wanted to marry Lady Fang to the stupid son of Jiangdu City Gou Yuan's aunt's family in exchange for a huge amount of gift to marry her son. Lady Fang cared about He Wulang and would rather die than submit, so she was locked up by her parents.

Iron chains were used to forcibly block the sedan chair.

On the night of the wedding, He Wulang disguised himself as a young man and sneaked into the Yuanwai's Mansion, knocked out the Yuanwai's silly son, and rescued Mrs. Fang...

The two people's original plan was to escape from the Yuan's wife's house and go to Jiangdu County to beat the drum and ask the county magistrate to seek justice for them. Unexpectedly, before dawn, they learned that the foolish son of the Yuan's wife's family had died in the bridal chamber.

They became murderers and had no choice but to flee Jiangdu.

Although the world is huge, where is the place for murderers?

During these years when they were wanted for a murder case, the couple kept their names anonymous and did not dare to interact with others. After many twists and turns, they came to Chenliu and lived far away from the village. He Wulang went to work in Chenliu's blacksmith shop, while Mrs. Fang went to Chenliu to work.

Take care of the housework with your son.

He Wulang was hardworking and willing to endure hardships, and Mrs. Fang was frugal and capable. The couple lived in harmony and beauty, but the shadow of the murder was like a scar on their hearts. Especially when their children grew up and wanted to study, they did not dare to send them to school.

, I don’t even dare to take my children out on the street like ordinary people do...

Adults can live like a rat on the street. How can they bear to let their son live in darkness for the rest of his life without breathing?

Since last night, the couple has been discussing constantly and cannot make a decision.

Firstly, I was afraid, and secondly, I was ashamed, so I couldn't open my mouth. But when I saw these people coming today, I thought their family didn't lack any food.

Moreover, their son had not seen many strangers since he was a child. The envious and timid expression when he saw the three little ones made the parents heartbroken, and then they got down on their knees and begged each other.

"My Lady, forgive me..." Madam Fang became timid after seeing Xin Yi remain silent for a long time, and her eyelids drooped lower and lower, "Young lady is really too reckless, so it's okay if Madam refuses to agree."

She suddenly leaned over and kowtowed to the ground.

"But no matter what, please keep it secret for us, so that our family of three can survive for a few more years..."

Xin Yi helped the man up and looked at him for a moment, "You just said that you are from Jiangdu?"

Madam Fang didn't know why she asked, so she nodded with tears in her eyes.

Xin Yi said: "That Jiangdu County in Yangzhou Prefecture?"

Madam Fang nodded again, hope rekindled in her eyes, "Madam, have you been to Jiangdu?"

Xin Yi shook his head and smiled slightly.

"I have never been to Jiangdu, but our destination for this trip is Yangzhou."

Yangzhou has one prefecture and two counties, under its jurisdiction are Jiangdu and Guangling.

When Madam Fang heard this, she hesitated for a moment and said, "The little lady still doesn't understand what Madam means."

Xin Yi smiled, "I agree to your request, but I have a condition..."
