"Sister, thank you so much. If you hadn't appeared, I might have been beaten to death by him." The boy's eyes flashed with tears, his eyes were full of gratitude, and he choked.

"Sister? How do you know I am a woman?!"

Ye Wanqing's tone was full of surprise. Could her acting skills be so poor? Even a child could easily see it?

"Sister, you can't underestimate me just because I'm a child. This is my specialty!"

The boy said this, his expression was always full of pride, as if he was showing off to Ye Wanqing.

"Yes, you are so powerful. Haven't you asked what your name is yet?" Ye Wanqing squatted down and gently touched the little boy's head, her eyes full of curiosity.

"Sister, you can call me Chen'er. In fact, when I was five years old, there was a war in my hometown. My parents lost their lives to protect me during the war."

"I survived by my parents' protection and followed other survivors to the capital." The boy's expression stopped, and his face gradually was covered with sadness.

"In the capital, I was selected by a high-ranking official and served in his home. There was a young master of my age in the high-ranking official's family. Once he broke the porcelain that the high-ranking official had a lot of money to buy. It was very expensive and loved by the high-ranking official."

"The high-ranking official was very angry when he learned about this. The young master was afraid of punishment, so he lied that I had broken the porcelain. The high-ranking official was very angry and ordered his servants to kill me."

The boy's tone was so steady, as if he was telling other people's stories. Ye Wanqing could not feel the resentment towards the high-ranking official or the young master at all.

"I was lucky enough to survive that punishment and began to make a living in the capital." The boy's experience made Ye Wanqing unbelievable. Who would have thought that so many things had happened to such a young child?

Compared to the boy's experience, Ye Wanqing suddenly felt that she didn't know how many times she was lucky. When she was young, although her parents could not be with her every day and every moment, their love for her allowed her to spend sixteen happy years.

Thinking of his parents in another world, Ye Wanqing's eyes flashed with tears. Before she could have time to accompany them, she traveled to the current world. I really don't know how they are living now. Are they okay with their grandparents?

No matter what, she must find a way to go home, and Ye Wanqing secretly made up her mind.

Stand up, wipe away the tears from the corners of my eyes, and calm down my mood.

"Let's go, sister will take you shopping." Ye Wanqing took the boy's hand and walked towards the shop not far away with Dong'er.

"Young Master, look, that bronze mirror is so beautiful." Dong'er pointed to the street stall not far away.

"If you like it, come and have a look. We have sold it today. I have many other styles here. Come and have a look." Seeing this, the store owner hurriedly greeted the three of them enthusiastically.

When Ye Wanqing saw the exquisitely crafted bronze mirror and the extremely exquisite wooden comb, she felt aroused in her heart. She thought of what she promised Qing'er before she came out, so she decided to buy a few to go back.

"Store, how do you sell this?" Ye Wanqing picked up a wooden comb. The texture on the wooden comb was clear and carved into the shape of a plum blossom. The wooden comb exuded a faint fragrance, which made people feel relaxed and happy.

"Sell candied haws, sell candied haws--"

There were endless hawking sounds on the street, and each vendor promoted their products with their unique voice.

"Sister, I'm going to buy candied haws." The boy seemed a little excited and pointed to the vendor who was shouting not far away.

"Sister, sister, please buy it for me." Seeing that Ye Wanqing did not respond, the boy shook Ye Wanqing's arms with his two little hands and acted coquettishly.

"Okay, okay, sister buy it for you. You can choose first. I'll pay the bill later. As long as you can eat it all, you will buy as much as you want."
