"Miss, you can't come here. It's time for a nap."
Song Shuyi turned a deaf ear to the nanny's words and ran happily towards the pavilion in the middle of the lake with his short legs.
"Daddy."
Song Linyuan panicked and subconsciously stuffed the food box in his hand into the hand of the palace soldier closest to him, and leaned over to stop Song Shuyi.
"Sister Yi, you can't touch the water. You can't come to the lake. Go back and take a nap."
Song Shuyi glanced at the food box in the soldier's hand, and then looked at the three-story attic in the middle of the lake.
Grandfather is not here, who lives here?
"Daddy, I can't sleep. I want to take a boat ride on the lake."
Song Linyuan coaxed her patiently: "You are still young. It is very dangerous to take a boat tour on the lake. You can easily fall into the water. There are water ghosts in the lake that eat children."
Song Shuyi's body trembled noticeably, and she hugged Song Linyuan's thigh tightly. "Daddy, I'm six years old now. It's been many years, and so many uncles have been here, but they still haven't caught the water ghost that eats children. Or is it that the people living in there are not water ghosts, but people?"
......Song Linyuan hurriedly picked up Song Shuyi and strode towards the third room.
"Dad lied to you. There are no water ghosts. You know this is the forbidden area of our Song Mansion. All the women in the mansion are not allowed to come here. The military secrets of your grandfather and your uncle are stored here. If they are leaked, there will be a risk of death. Fortunately, your grandfather is in the military camp now. If he knew that you came here..."
"Dad." Song Shuyi suddenly looked panicked. "Don't tell grandpa. Grandpa finally likes me and starts smiling at me."
Song Linyuan was heartbroken when he heard this. This was all his fault.
If he had not lost his mind back then, Yijie would have had a brother who loved her and grandparents who doted on her.
"Okay, Daddy won't tell your grandfather."
late at night.
Baili Xuanlang arrived at the lakeside dungeon on time.
"Eldest sister, come and eat it while it's hot."
"Langlang, did you bring any of my elder sister's usual rouge and powder from Xirong this time?"
Baili Xuanlang stood up and walked to the dressing table. "That woman actually used Beiyi's inferior gouache on you?"
"Don't be angry! That's just for show. I, your eldest sister, have a good foundation. I've been weak these years, and my face is just pale and haggard. Now I have to use it. My face is getting redder and fatter, and I need to use high-quality rouge and powder to cover it up, otherwise it will be easily discovered."
Baili Xuanlang held a small ceramic lamp the size of a palm and walked closer to take a closer look at Baili Qingluan's face.
The eldest sister was no longer as haggard and pale as when I first met her, and her complexion was much rosier.
"Eldest sister, I brought more than twenty kinds of food this time. I will bring them all to you tomorrow night."
"No, just take my usual set of rouge and powder. I'm very comfortable with them."
"Okay, take your time eating."
"Oh, by the way, I still need to drink a course of medicine... cough cough..."
Baili Qingluan pulled the black iron chain hard, which agitated his old injury and caused him to cough lightly a few times.
"Eldest sister!" Baili Xuanlang was anxious, "Don't use too much force, you'll get hurt."
"It's okay. It doesn't hurt as much as before. I'll be almost fully recovered in seven days. Then I won't be trapped here anymore."
"Okay, I'll make all the arrangements in the next few days. I'll have Qi Feng rush the letter home to Xirong over a hundred miles. Father and Mother will receive it in about seven days."
Baili Qingluan looked up at Baili Xuanlang and said, "You must have been busy outside. Are the four routes to Xirong ambushed by the Song family as we speculated?"
Baili Xuanlang scratched his head. His elder sister could still see through him. "Yes! We went to investigate. There's an ambush."
"At the bottom of the Eagle's Beak Cliff..." Baili Qingluan asked with a hint of fantasy, "Are there... any clues about your nephew?"
"Eldest sister, don't worry, my nephew must have been rescued by a kind-hearted person. I will arrange for someone to follow the Song family to investigate. Once we get any information, the child will not fall into the hands of the Song family."
Baili Qingluan felt a little disappointed when she heard this. Her son inherited her natural supernatural power. It was impossible to find a child with such great strength without any clues for so many years.
"Don't bother comforting me. Your nephew inherited my strength. If he were still alive, it would be easy to find out his whereabouts..."
"Eldest sister, you have to think positively. Perhaps the kindhearted people who adopted him discovered his ability and are worried that he might be killed, so they don't let him use his strength."
"Perhaps."
"And my eldest nephew might be a big eater too, right? Can my eldest nephew eat? You can hide his strength, but you can't hide his ability to eat!"
Baili Qingluan subconsciously touched his chest when he heard this.
My son can really drink!
She remembered tying her son to her chest and riding back to Xirong at night.
The longer she ran, the longer her son drank milk.
She had to run dozens of kilometers to catch fish and grill them, and catch pheasants and grill them, otherwise she would not be able to supply milk and her son would go hungry.
If she hadn't cared about her son, she wouldn't have been blocked by the Song family at Eagle's Beak Cliff.
"Yes, your nephew is indeed a big eater!"
Over the years, the Song family has been searching for their child only by relying on his strength. If their son was really rescued and hid his strength, how could he be found?
Baili Qingluan suddenly had great hope that her son was still alive.
"Langlang, arrange three skilled and meticulous guards, disguise them as Beiyi civilians, and spend a year tracking down this seven-year-old, almost eight-year-old child with an astonishing appetite. The child may not be adopted by a farmer, but may be in a county in Beiyi..."
She was also worried that her son didn’t have enough to eat. How could he go hungry like her?
He is still a child and may not be able to resist hunger!
