Xuanyuan Huaiyu returned to his yard and sat there in a daze for a while, thinking: Lying is not that difficult.

He saw Ye Qiu's face turning red and white but she couldn't speak. He thought that she didn't want to tell the truth, but she couldn't tell a lie.

He didn't know the truth, but he guessed whether it was a lie. She probably wanted a child. She had mentioned it before, and his mother had also said it many times. Since she was his princess, she always bore more pressure than him in this matter.

Since that’s the case, let me help her say it, and what she says is not all lies.

With his own Qinggong skills, he heard his mother coming back and standing at the door.

He may no longer have the means to win Wang Xipei back, as the damage he has done to her is irreparable.

The two women around him are the most important people in his life. No matter what, he will make them smile as much as possible for the rest of his life, make them satisfied and happy, protect them, and give them the life they want.

That statement was true, and if the mother of his child was Ye Qiu, he would feel very good.

After listening to Peng Jing's words, Sun Yanan thought that the whole family moved to Kyoto three years after Canglan disappeared. She thought that after finding her daughter, her clothes and shoes would be too small, so she prepared new ones every year. Those old clothes are now in Pingchang County.

If she wanted to take Canglan's things to Madam Handan, the only thing she had was a small golden locket that Canglan had worn when he was a child, which she carried with her as a souvenir.

There was also a hairpin that Canglan's maid brought back from the Demon Realm. Before she disappeared, Canglan had intended to practice in the kitchen. She loved tinkering with food, so she didn't wear bracelets or earrings, only a hairpin on her head.

Unexpectedly, he was abducted to the Demon Realm.

Later, when the two little girls were about to leave the Demon Realm, Canglan gave it to his maid. The girl knew that this hairpin was the only thing left on the young lady after she entered the Demon Clan three years ago, and she was reluctant to give it away as a flower, so she kept it with her until she regained her memory, and then gave it to Sun Yanan.

Sun Yannan first sent a visiting card to Madam Handan, and after receiving the reply, he went to visit her with the small golden locket and the hairpin.

The Rongguo Mansion looks quite desolate.

But the servants were still well-organized and advanced and retreated in an orderly manner. Sun Yanan thought: Jiang He, the second wife who was in charge of the Rongguo Mansion, must be a capable person.

Madam Handan knew two things about Sun Yanan. One was that he was the head of the Shi family, a wealthy family in Pingchang County. He led the Shi family to continuously expand their territory, and they won every step carefully. Now the Shi family has firmly established itself as the largest family in Pingchang County.

The Mei family in Anping County, the Shi family in Pingchang County, the Sui family in Jiangzhou County... These are the top families in all counties in the territory. Sun Yanan took over the power of the family directly from the old lady of the Shi family, bypassing her mother-in-law Peng Jing. She has been in charge of the family for only ten years. Under her leadership, the Shi family has made great progress every two years and a new look every three years, and has been unstoppable in Pingchang County.

Twelve years later, when they returned to the capital, the Shi family's huge convoy entered the capital and moved into the mansion. The leading woman and her husband got off the carriage, each holding a child. This was also a scene that caught the eyes of the onlookers in Kyoto at that time.

The second option was to buy the former Duke of Fuguo's house. There was no way around it; strength often wasn't as eye-catching as gossip. Extraordinary strength often had the same reach as a little gossip.

Madam Handan watched Sun Yanan approaching from afar, but the first encounter with her triggered many images to emerge in her mind.

Madam Handan calmed down for a while and sighed in her heart: It turns out that she was the mastermind behind the downfall of Ren Jiayu. How amazing!

After sitting down, Sun Yanan hesitated for a moment. Should he say clearly that his daughter had been abducted by the demons and was now in the Demon Realm, or should he just say that his daughter was missing?

Although Madam Handan can see the future, she is not familiar with her after all, and she is not as approachable and trustworthy as the monks of Tianyuan Temple and the nuns of Yunlan Temple. It is better to keep some respect for her.

So Sun Yannan just said that his daughter was missing and he missed her so much that he wanted to ask Madam Handan to see where her daughter was and whether she could return home in the future.

Madam Handan looked at the small golden locket, then took it in her hand again without any reaction.

She had no choice but to put it down and pick up the gold hairpin instead. Just as she was about to put it down helplessly, overwhelming scenes emerged in Madam Handan's mind one after another. She could not bear it any longer and quickly threw the hairpin away.

When Sun Yanan saw this, he guessed that she must have "seen" something. Although he was worried about his daughter, seeing Madam Handan's reaction, he hurriedly stood up and supported her.

The excitement in her brain was far less intense than the turmoil in her heart. Madam Handan saw herself in the picture of the little girl.

She said to Sun Yannan, "If you trust me, Madam, you can leave this hairpin with me. I will probably need some time to sort out what I have seen.

To be honest, most of the time, I only see scattered images that flash by, but this time I saw a lot, and it seemed to be related to other people. I couldn't understand and remember so many images at once.

Maybe it's because I'm older and my emotions and body can't handle it anymore, so I need time to take it slow."

Although Sun Yanan was eager to know whether his daughter could escape from the Demon Realm and return to him in the future, he didn't know whether it was appropriate to ask her at this time.

After hesitating for a while, he asked, "I wonder if my daughter can come back in the future in the scene that Madam saw?

Will I be able to meet him again in my lifetime?"

Madam Handan said, "From the two or three scenes I can remember right now, Madam was able to see that little girl."

Sun Yannan was very grateful after hearing this, and his mood also jumped up. He quickly thanked her, "Thank you, madam. I will leave this hairpin with you. When you feel it is ready, please let me know and I will visit you again."

On the same day, there was a major mobilization of troops at the border. He Qing led his troops on the expedition, and Ren Changlin, the youngest son of the Ren family, took over the garrison of He Qing's original unit. Ren Jiayong and Ren Changan remained stationed at their original units.

He Qing led his army to rush to the fiefdom of Prince Guanghuai at night. At the same time, Xuanyuan Hao issued six imperial edicts, one to each of the frontier officials, Helan Cheng, Shang Huaitang, Cheng Min, the governor of Southern Yunnan, Xuanyuan Huaiyu, the commander of the East and West Camps of the Kyoto defense, Prince Qing, and Prince Yu.

He also summoned Shangshu Wang, Wang Suwen, Zhang Guanghe, and the Crown Prince to guard the upper study, and Ye Zhou rushed to the border.

He Qing, Xuanyuan Hao thought to himself, the sharpest sword in the entire territory has been unsheathed... As he accepted the order and left, he only asked one question: "Do you want him alive?"

Xuanyuan Hao replied: "You decide."
