After pretending to be an honest person and study hard in the manor for three days, on July 20th, Yongqi finally obtained Qianlong's permission to take Xiaoyanzi and the others out of the manor to travel among the common people.

Qing'er asked curiously, "Yongqi, how exactly did you convince the master?" After leaving the manor, Yongqi had already instructed that the family members should be addressed differently. "I thought we would be staying inside for a long time!"

Yongqi had no intention of telling everyone about his conversation with Qianlong, saying, "I have my own brilliant plan, you don't need to worry about it. Now that we're out here, let's have some fun!"

Seeing that Yongqi was unwilling to say more, Qing'er and the others stopped asking and focused on strolling around outside. "Little Swallow, look, so many hairpins!"

Qing'er led Xiao Yanzi as they strolled ahead, while several men followed behind, carrying their things and providing protection.

Little Swallow's eyes sparkled as she looked at the hairpins displayed on the street. Yongqi smiled and said, "Little Swallow, if you like them, buy them all and wear a different one every day!"

Little Swallow quickly refused, saying, "No need, you've already given me enough, there's no need to spend any more money!"

Although Xiao Yanzi said that, Yongqi still paid for the hairpin after Xiao Yanzi and Qing'er walked away and had it sent back to the manor.

The group continued walking and came to a fan stall. After examining the fan carefully, Xiao Yanzi picked it up. On it was written, "In life and in death, we made a vow. Holding your hand, we will grow old together."

When Xiao Yanzi saw the last two lines, she wanted to buy the fan, but Yongqi chose another fan with the inscription, "If I live, I will return; if I die, I will long for you forever."

The Fu brothers and Qing'er naturally couldn't bear to watch. After seeing the two buy the fan, they continued shopping.

As they happily strolled along the street, Xiao Yanzi inadvertently caught sight of a little girl in a corner. She called out to the others, "Yongqi, Qing'er, look!"

Following Xiao Yanzi's hand, everyone looked at the little girl covered in blood in the corner. They were all shocked and rushed forward. Xiao Yanzi gently patted the little girl and softly woke her, "You are..."

"I happened to see you lying here when I was passing by, so I came over to check on you. What happened? Why are you all alone?"

“I have no home anymore. A few days ago, my family was all killed. My parents hid me in the cellar and wouldn't let me out. I watched helplessly as those people killed my parents. I was powerless to do anything. After they left, I crawled out of the cellar. I was afraid they would come back to check, so I hurriedly ran away from home. But I didn't expect to be so weak that I fainted here…”

Yongqi asked, "Then the blood on your body..."

"It's all my parents' blood, the blood of my family!"

Little Swallow got really angry just thinking about it and pressed on, "Then do you know who killed your parents?"

She shook her head. "I don't know. I've never seen them before. They just suddenly broke into my house, and my parents quickly hid me..."

As the little girl spoke, tears streamed down her face uncontrollably. "I'm so useless. I learned martial arts from my parents, but in the end, I still couldn't protect them!"

Qing'er's eyes also welled up with tears. "You don't seem very old. How could you possibly deal with those vicious and ruthless bad guys!"

"Yongqi, I want to take her back! Please let her come with me, okay?" Xiaoyanzi couldn't take it anymore. This little girl had watched helplessly as her parents were killed. Just thinking about that scene made her extremely angry and sad. "She's all alone now, and she has no other relatives. Let's help her, okay?"

Yongqi hesitated. He didn't know the background of this little girl. What if he let her follow Xiaoyanzi and harmed her? But if he didn't agree to take her back, Xiaoyanzi would probably get angry with him!

“Yongqi, I think since we’ve run into her, we should help her out. At the very least, we should give her a change of clothes and a meal…”

The little girl was moved as she watched the two tearful girls pleading with the boy in the light yellow shirt. "My surname is Jiang, as in river and as in profit. My family is in business. I've been good at arithmetic since I was little, and I've traveled all over the country with my father, learning a lot of martial arts. If you're willing to take me in, I'm willing to follow you and risk my life to protect her!"

The last sentence was spoken while looking at Yongqi. She could tell that this boy cared a lot about the girl in red who had asked her first. "Okay, I agree!"

After struggling with the decision for a long time, Yongqi finally nodded and agreed to take her back. However, before taking her back, they first found a place and had Qing'er and Xiao Yanzi help Jiang Ying wash and dress up. Once she was properly made up, they would take her back.

When they returned to the manor, everyone was shocked to see that Yongqi had brought back another little girl, but no one dared to say anything. After returning to Consort Yu's residence, Yongqi asked Xingchen to help arrange Jiang Ying's room, planning to test her martial arts skills after Jiang Ying had rested for a night.

The next morning, "Jiang Ying, Xingchen and Shizhu also know martial arts. Why don't you spar with them first and let me see how good you are?"

“No problem, sisters, you don’t need to hold back!” Jiang Ying readily accepted the challenge. However, the outcome of the competition shocked Xingchen and Shizhu, as well as Yongqi, Xiaoyanzi, Qing’er, and the Fu brothers who were watching.

"Fifth Prince, Miss Jiang Ying's martial arts skills are superb; we sisters are no match for her!"

"After resting for an hour, you can compete with Erkang and Ertai again. If you can beat them, you can become Xiaoyanzi's personal bodyguard. If you can't beat them yet, you will have to undergo training first. Only after passing the training can you stay for a long time. At that time, I will also try to help you find out who killed your whole family."

"Jiang Ying understands, thank you Fifth Prince for your kindness!" When she learned yesterday that the person who saved them was no ordinary person, Jiang Ying had already made up her mind to stay by their side. If Yongqi could also help her find her enemy, she would protect Xiao Yanzi with her life and not let anyone hurt her!

An hour later, Jiang Ying and the Fu brothers started fighting, and Jiang Ying won in the end. "Young masters, you're too kind!"

After fighting with her, Fu Erkang was very impressed with Jiang Ying and asked, "Miss Jiang Ying, did you learn your martial arts from your father?"

"I learned a little from my parents, but I learned most from my master!"

Fu Ertai asked curiously, "And what about your master?"

"My master is always elusive, appearing and disappearing like a dragon. He said he was going to travel the world to find his sister, so after I finished learning his martial arts, I rarely saw him again!"

Upon hearing these familiar words, the name that popped into everyone's mind simultaneously came to mind: "Xiao Jian!"
