Thinking of Gu Xiaoran's swift and agile movements, Qiu Yan couldn't eat her meal.

"You eat first, I'll go call Xiaoran to eat with us." Qiu Yan said goodbye to Gu Qian and went out to look for her.

Just as Prefect Wang was about to follow him out, Gu Qian called out to him.

"Prefect Wang," Gu Qian paused, then asked:

How was the harvest this year?

He was referring to this year's autumn harvest.

After all, at the beginning of the year, he had recruited a lot of surrendered soldiers to farm here.

Not only Youzhou City, but also Ganzhou City is the same.

"Not bad, but they were all sent to the battlefield," Prefect Wang replied.

The general was farsighted; he would never have thought of using surrendered soldiers to farm here.

As soon as Qiu Yan came out, she chased after Qin Susu.

What's all the fuss about?

"Looking for Yu'er," Qin Susu said, her steps still moving.

Qiu Yan: "Where did he go?"

“If I knew where he went, I wouldn’t need to look for him. Xiaoyan, you have no idea how naughty your child is. Look what he bit me.”

Qin Susu stopped in her tracks, lifted her swollen wrist with teeth marks, and didn't forget to complain.

"When I catch up with him this time, I'll make sure he learns his lesson and knows what it means to respect his elders." That's right, she was looking for Gu Xiaoran purely for revenge.

"You must have provoked him first." Qiu Yan knew her little brat very well.

"I didn't offend him either..." Qin Susu muttered softly, then asked Qiu Yan.

"Should the little one be called Xiaoyu or Xiaoran?"

Qiu Yan: "Xiao Yu."

Having said that, she quickened her pace.

"Uh, wait a minute..." Qin Susu chased after him, and the two of them worked together to find Gu Xiaoran.

On the way, they encountered Zhu Juan, and behind Zhu Juan, the lightning bolt that shook its head and swayed its tail.

Qin Susu and Zhu Juan said the same thing when they met:

"Where is the young master?"

Where is Yu'er?

The two exchanged a glance, and their faces fell simultaneously.

Zhu Juan: "Miss Qin, weren't you chasing after the young master?"

Qin Susu: "Weren't you chasing after him too?"

Qiu Yan's heart sank upon hearing this.

She glanced around the mansion.

"Separately search."

Inside Youzhou City

Gu Xiaoran jogged along, carefree and at ease.

He kept looking back as he ran.

"You think you can catch me? Hmph, no one in the world can catch me."

He was running triumphantly, when suddenly he stopped.

His mother warned him more than once that he shouldn't run around.

He started to turn back, but his eyes were still darting around, afraid that Qin Susu would capture him.

That woman is really ruthless; she loves to mess with him.

Take a look around at the bustling streets.

Good heavens, where am I?

It seems he's gone missing again.

No matter where it is, just turn back the way you came.

Gu Xiaoran felt inexplicably flustered and quickened her pace.

If his mother finds out he's run off again, she'll definitely punish him.

His mother still remembers the time he ran off.

He had been searching for the residence of Prefect Wang.

However, even after walking the entire street to the end, he still couldn't find it.

Before he knew it, he saw two thuggish-looking men approaching him, and Gu Xiaoran took off running.

His experience of being abducted taught him to be absolutely wary of any suspicious person.

He kept looking back as he ran.

During his escape, as he darted around among the crowds, his hair became loose.

At the crossroads, I unfortunately bumped into a steamed bun stall, almost ruining all the buns. The stall owner even grabbed me by the collar and threw me to the ground.
