"Sui Sui!"

Shuisheng watched helplessly as the man in the tight-fitting clothes abducted Suisui from his arms.

The man leaped down from the teahouse, stepped on the shoulders of passersby, and disappeared in a few bounds.

He wanted to jump out of the window to chase after him, but his lightness skill was not yet up to par.

Shuisheng was sweating profusely with anxiety. As he chased after them, he shouted, "The kidnappers are snatching people!"

The people in the teahouse were also stunned by this sudden scene.

There has never been a case of kidnapping people on the streets in Laiyang City.

Some kind-hearted people also followed Shui Sheng and chased after him.

Someone realized what was happening and shouted, "Report to the authorities! Report to the authorities quickly!"

The teahouse owner hurriedly shouted to the waiter, "Yes, quick, report to the authorities!"

The two children said they went upstairs to look for their father, but now that he's gone missing, the teahouse is also implicated.

Seeing herself being held in mid-air, Sui Sui let out a cry of surprise, then quickly shut up in fright.

The whistling wind and gasps filled his ears as a large hand tightly wrapped around his waist. Sui Sui was so startled that he almost forgot to breathe.

We passed through crowds and shops with a dazzling array of goods, and then were led to leap onto a rooftop.

White walls and black tiles.

If she hadn't been kidnapped, Sui Sui would have thought it was really fun to be held and flown around.

As she fell from a height to a lower one, Sui Sui kicked her legs forcefully, crying out, "Let me go! I want to go back!"

But his arms and legs were too short. He was lifted into the air, his hands and feet flailing wildly, just like a beetle being lifted up in mid-air.

A man's voice came from above: "Little ancestor, please don't move, I won't hurt you."

"Don't treat me like a three-year-old! You're just a con artist!" Sui Sui's voice was trembling with tears.

He was kidnapped, how anxious Shui Sheng must have been!

A short while later, after passing a high wall, a patch of green flashed before her eyes, and she was carried into a tall room, where Sui Sui's feet finally touched the ground.

The man's hand slipped, and Sui Sui lost her balance, her legs gave way, and she landed hard on her bottom.

"Master, look what I've brought you!" Xiangyang ignored the child sitting on the carpet and exclaimed with a fawning expression, as if presenting a treasure.

After the strategists left, Xiao Jingzhao returned to his study to continue organizing his plans.

Hearing Xiang Yang's shout, Xiao Jingzhao put down his pen, looked up, and frowned: "What can you bring me? A thousand troops?"

"Master, look at the ground! It's more fun than a thousand troops!" Xiangyang said with a mysterious expression.

Xiao Jingzhao flicked his wide sleeves and slowly turned around.

A child was looking at him with teary eyes, his little mouth stubbornly pursed, trying hard not to cry out loud.

The child was exquisitely beautiful, with two buns on her head and a few strands of hair left at the back of her head. If it weren't for her lake-colored boy's clothes, one might mistake her for a girl at first glance.

A pair of bright, phoenix-shaped eyes were staring intently at him.

Huh!

Why does it look so familiar?

Sui Sui was also stunned by the man's appearance.

Sui Sui quickly realized that the old fox in front of her really resembled herself.

My God!

It turns out that what my mother said was true; there really is someone who looks exactly like her.

He was originally planning to burst into tears to attract attention and force the flower seller to release him.

He saw that there was no one else in the huge room, so crying was useless.

Her little hands were twirling inside her sleeves as she pursed her lips, trying to come up with a solution.

One big, one small, their eyes met.

Neither of them intended to speak first.

Time seemed to stand still; the room was eerily quiet.

Xiangyang glanced at his master.

His expression, while not icy cold, wasn't particularly warm either.

Then I looked at the child.

Her little face was expressionless, and two tears welled up in her eyes but didn't fall.

Four words popped into Xiangyang's mind.

...Two stubborn fools!

"Master, look at him, he looks just like you, do you like him?"

Xiao Jingzhao didn't even glance at him, staring at the little figure on the ground, his surface calm as still water, but his heart was already in turmoil.

He saw that his master did not show the joy he had expected.

Xiang Yang's heart skipped a beat.

Oh no!

This attempt at flattery seems to have backfired.

Could this child be... the result of the prince's misdeeds outside?

Xiangyang realized he had committed a grave offense.

The prince promised the princess that he would not take a concubine.

The princess gave birth to two sons and two daughters for the prince.

Xiangyang thought to himself, "Humans are never satisfied!" He had been worried about the prince's injury last night, but all those worries had vanished by now.

It's still not too late to send the child away now so the princess won't see him.

He looked at Xiao Jingzhao and said, "Master, please don't take it to heart. No one can take away your position as the heir. He's just a baby. I'll put him back right away."

Just as Xiangyang's hand was about to touch Suisui, Xiao Jingzhao raised his hand and said, "Wait."

Facing the sun...

The master is merciful; is he going to acknowledge this brother?!

Sui Sui held back her tears, her obsidian-like eyes looking into the room.

The house was very large, even larger than the main house where Shui Sheng lived.

There was a sword hanging on the wall, with several shiny red stones on it, which should be gemstones.

That old fox is incredibly wealthy; he's definitely not a human trafficker or a beggar.

The floor-to-ceiling screen in the room is very beautiful, and there is a small couch behind the screen.

The carpet beneath my bottom was soft, and everything in the room exuded an air of luxury.

This old fox has a very high level of cultivation?!

No, wait, is he a very high-ranking official?!

"May I have your name?"

Finally, Xiao Jingzhao couldn't hold back any longer and asked the first question.
