Chu Xiaoxiao was thrown into a book, reincarnating as a cannon fodder meant to be drowned shortly after birth. Outraged, she saved herself and vowed to change her family’s doomed fate.
...This kind of thing is not difficult at all for Chu Xiaoxiao.
Milk ball led the people to the secluded wall and told the black charcoal head: "You, go first."
The charcoal-headed man had no objection. He leaped onto the top of the wall and looked down. He saw a deserted yard.
"Master! This place is quite remote, there is no one around."
Hearing this, the little boy stretched out his hands, acted as if he wanted to be hugged, and looked at the tree inside the wall.
The tree branch seemed to come alive, stretched out its branches, picked her up, and put her into the yard. Li Sizu was also picked up by the branch and thrown into the yard.
The charcoal-headed man jumped down from the wall and joined the two men.
It was lunch time and the yard was very quiet, with no one in it.
The weeds were very tall and Milk Ball was almost buried in them. Li Sizu squatted down and carried her on his back.
[Go east from here and you can see the study of the old master of the Ye family. The door is not guarded. The servants have gone to eat. Let's go there quickly and try to hide in the study before the servants come back.]
With Chu Xiaoxiao's guidance, the three of them avoided everyone and successfully arrived at the study of the old man of the Ye family.
The old man of the Ye family is nearly seventy years old. He is the head of the Ye family. Both he and his wife are still alive. They have four children in their lifetime, two sons and two daughters.
The old man likes the eldest son’s family, and the old lady likes the second son’s family.
Despite this, the old couple never had a quarrel over it, and the old man basically had the final say on family matters.
The eldest son of the Ye family is the future successor to the throne of the family head. He has received a strict education since childhood, and the old man has high hopes for him. The second son of the Ye family is also hardworking, and compared with the children of other noble families, he is strict with himself.
But he was not as smart as his elder brother and was always suppressed in every way. Gradually, his mind became twisted and his temper became bad.
The eldest son of the Ye family has three sons. The eldest son is married and has a son named Ye Tuxiao, while the other two sons have not yet started their own families.
The second son of the Ye family had three daughters, and later married a concubine, who gave birth to a son and raised him under the name of the main wife. The child was two years older than Ye Tuxiao, and was the apple of the eye and the treasure of the second wife, but he was raised crookedly.
He wanders around the streets all day, a real street wanderer.
Although Ye Tuxiao is still young, he has the demeanor of the young old man of the Ye family, and the old man likes him very much.
Since he was three years old, he has been brought up by my side.
The little great-grandson is smart, lively and cute, and brings a lot of joy to the old man’s later life.
The old man was deeply shocked by the sudden disappearance. He felt even more heavy-hearted and uneasy, especially after searching for so long without success.
The good kid went out to the street to buy a pen and ink, but was bumped into by a group of beggars who came from nowhere and was taken away in the blink of an eye.
The people who followed him were so busy avoiding the beggar that they didn't even notice who took him away.
I asked the people who were setting up stalls nearby, but they all said they had never seen the beggars and didn't know where they came from. The more I thought about it, the more it seemed wrong. I felt like someone was targeting the Ye family, but who could it be?
Although the Ye family is one of the four major families in Nanyun Country, they have always been low-key and unobtrusive. Since the Hai family was wiped out overnight, the Ye family has gradually reduced its presence.
He did not mix with the other three families and always maintained his independence. When the high priest was there, the Ye family also kept to themselves, did not oppress the people, did not do anything that was against the will of heaven and earth, and was well-behaved, low-key and silent.
The high priest knew the Ye family’s attitude and had never made things difficult for them.
Unexpectedly, after the death of the high priest, the situation in the court of Nanyun changed drastically. The king made some kind of deal with Dongsheng and proposed to return the three states and six prefectures.
The heads of other families were restless and ready to make a move. Could it be that because his Ye family was indifferent, they took action against his great-grandson and forced him to join them?
After lunch, the old man of the Ye family came to the study after a short nap.
When he opened the door, he was surprised to see three children sitting in a row in the room.
Where did the children come from? Did they come in?
The three children are really unique, one black, one white, and a pink and tender little baby.
The three of them all had good-looking facial features, and it was obvious that they were not ordinary people. Especially the fair-skinned little boy, who exuded a naturally noble and domineering aura.
That is the aura that only the royal family has.
The little girl sitting in the middle is very pretty. It can be said that he has never seen such a pretty baby in his entire life.
The dark-skinned one looks a bit unruly. His family must be well-connected, otherwise he wouldn't have such a proud look that looks down on everyone as an ant.
"Who are you three?"
Li Sizu said nothing, but took out the letter written by Yetuxiao and handed it to him.
Old Master Ye was stunned. He didn't expect that these three kids were here to deliver a letter.
He took it, opened it, and became more and more frightened the more he looked at it. Then he bent down and looked at the three of them: "Do you know where he is? Were you the ones who rescued him?"
The little kid got down from the stool, walked up to the old man of the Ye family with his short legs and twisted his round little butt, and told him in a baby voice.
"There is a bad guy in your family." After saying that, she patted her chest and told him firmly, "I know who the bad guy is."
"oh?"
The old man of the Ye family frowned, thinking that this little girl was really adorable. Although she was young, she spoke like a little adult.
She actually said that she knew who the bad guy in his family was. If he wasn't afraid of hurting the girl, he would have wanted to laugh.
Even he, the head of the family, didn't know who the bad guys were who colluded with insiders and took away his great-grandson. How could a baby know?
"You don't believe it?" Naituanzi was in low spirits and sighed deeply. "Oh! Forget it. If you don't believe it, then don't believe it! I've already said it. Believe it or not, it's up to you."
Hearing this, the old man of the Ye family looked at the little kid in front of him, who was not even as tall as his knees, with new eyes. The child's tone of voice was really not like that of a two-year-old kid. He was more stable than a twenty-year-old.
"Can you tell me who you are?"
In addition to being shocked, the old man of the Ye family racked his brains but could not figure out which family in the capital of Nanyun had such a cute and beautiful girl with such clear and mature thinking.
He can guarantee that there is absolutely no such thing.
Even though she was wearing Nanyun people's clothes, it could not be concluded that she was from the royal capital.
"Chu Xiaoxiao!"
The old man of the Ye family was stunned, and fear in his eyes became even stronger: "Chu Xiaoxiao? Dongsheng State Master?"
The little girl nodded calmly and said, "It's me."
Li Sizu immediately spoke up: "We were playing on the street and were taken away by an old woman. We met Ye Tuxiao by chance."
"If you put it that way, I believe it."
The old man of the Ye family took the letter in his hand and read it again from beginning to end.
He understood what the little great-grandson meant. There was a traitor in the family who colluded with outsiders to kidnap him and handed him over to a group of bad guys hiding in the ruins of the Hai family.
He tried to escape several times, but was caught and severely beaten, and his legs were almost broken. Fortunately, he met a kind person who rescued him and hired a doctor, so his legs were saved.
With so many people at home, who is the bad guy? How can he catch the person hiding in his house without alerting the enemy?
