"Sister? Haizhong, when did you get a sister? Why didn't you tell us?" Yan Liquan asked Song Haizhong.
"Liquan, Chenming, I can't explain it clearly for the time being. Please ask for leave from the Lord Chief of the Imperial Court for me. I'll go back home first. Please!" Song Haizhong said and without waiting for Yan Liquan and Jin Yuanming to speak, he hurried to the Duke of Protectorate's Mansion.
Song Haizhong returned to the Duke of Huguo's mansion and hurried to the dining hall. The Duke of Huguo, his wife, and the Duke's old lady were having dinner.
"What a shame to be so reckless!" the Duke of Protectorate scolded Song Haizhong.
"Okay, Master, don't be angry. It's not too late to get angry after you've figured it out first." The Duke's wife comforted the Duke.
"Tell me, why did you get out of school so early today? Did something happen?" The Duke of Protectorate asked his youngest son.
"Dad, let me drink some water first before I answer you." Song Haizhong ran all the way back and was now tired, thirsty, and felt uncomfortable with the dry mouth.
"Zhong'er, drink some water quickly." The old lady of the Protectorate handed her tea to her grandson Song Haizhong.
Song Haizhong drank a cup of tea, then poured another cup and drank it, only then did he feel his throat better.
"Grandma, Dad, Mom! I'm back from taking a leave of absence today..."
"What? You unfilial son, you actually dare to learn to skip classes. I'll break your legs." When the Duke of Huguo heard his son say that he was skipping classes, he immediately became furious.
"Master, first listen to Zhongyi explain why he asked for leave to come back. It won't be too late to deal with him later!" The Duke's wife quickly comforted the master. If he continued to beat him, Zhongyi would not be able to get out of bed for at least three days.
"Yes! Son, listen to Zhongyi's words first." The old lady of the Duke of Huguo also advised her son not to be impulsive.
"Tell me, why do you want to skip classes? If you don't give me a clear explanation, I will break your legs." The Duke of Protectorate said angrily.
"Dad, it's not too late to beat me after you listen to what I have to say. Today, I went to Tianxiaji with my classmates for dinner and bumped into a woman there. When I saw her face, I was startled and thought it was my mother. When I came to my senses, I realized that she was not my mother, but a woman who looked very much like my mother and was younger than me. I wondered if it was..."
"Zhongyi, what did you say? A woman who looks very much like mother? Where is she? Is she mother's daughter?" When the Duke's wife heard about a woman who looked like her, she asked her son excitedly and nervously without waiting for Song Haizhong to finish.
"Zhongyi, where is that woman?" The Duke of Protectorate and his wife looked at their son (grandson) anxiously and nervously.
"Mom, Dad, Grandma, I ran into her at the entrance of Tianxiaji. By the time I realized what was happening, she was gone. I searched the nearby streets but couldn't find her, so I took some time off and rushed back to tell Mom, Dad, and Grandma," Song Haizhong said shamefacedly. If he hadn't been so slow to react and let his sister go, the family would be filled with joy right now.
He had known since childhood that he had lost a younger sister. Every year on his sister's birthday or New Year's Eve, the Duke's Mansion would be very quiet. His parents would also lock themselves in their rooms and not come out for the entire day.
"Tianxiaji? Zhongyi, is this the Tianxiaji that opened today?" The Duke's wife asked her son excitedly.
"Yes, it's the Tianxiaji that opened today opposite the Imperial College." Song Haizhong said.
"Master, let's go to Tianxiaji to find our daughter." The Duke's wife didn't even eat. She stood up and wanted to pull the Duke of Huguo to Tianxiaji to find her daughter.
"Madam, calm down! Ask clearly before going." The wife of the Duke of Fuguo, the Protector of the Nation.
"Zhongyi, have you gone into Tianxiaji to ask if anyone there knows my daughter?" The Duke of Huguo asked Song Haizhong calmly.
"Yes, my son went in to ask, and they all said they didn't know her. My son suspected that my sister went to the space base to eat food." Song Haizhong said.
"Master, I can't stay calm. Let's go to Tianxiaji and wait for our daughter. We will definitely be able to wait for her." The Duke's wife begged the Duke of Huguo to go with her to Tianxiaji and wait for her daughter to appear.
"Mom, if my sister is just a customer of Tianxiaji, she has already eaten today and she won't go there again. If she wants to wait at Tianxiaji, she has to wait until tomorrow." Song Haizhong analyzed to his mother.
"Yes, madam, let's calm down first. Tomorrow, I will send people to guard Tianxiaji. We will definitely be able to protect our daughter." The Duke of Huguo said to his wife.
"Yes, I was too anxious. I followed the master's arrangements in everything." The Duke's wife felt that both the master and her son were right. She was too nervous. Her mind went blank and she only wanted to find her daughter.
"Madam, you are worried because of your concern. Now that you know that our daughter is in the capital, we will definitely find her. If we can't find her anywhere in the world, I will search every house, even if I have to search the entire capital, to find our daughter." The Duke of Protectorate assured his wife.
"Master, we must find our daughter." The Duke's wife was so excited that tears streamed down her face. Finally, there was news about her daughter, and this time she was determined to find her daughter.
The Duke of Huguo was also delighted, as he would soon see his daughter. With the news of the young lady, everyone in the Duke of Hu's mansion, from the master to the servants, smiled.
The next day, the Duke's housekeeper posted guards at the entrance to Tianxiaji. Of course, servants also guarded the other Tianxiaji. They kept guarding for seven days, but Li Yun didn't show up. Unbeknownst to them, Li Yun was going to open a fruit and vegetable shop the next day and wasn't going to Tianxiaji at all. So, they were looking in the wrong direction and guarding the wrong place.
After seeing Song Haizhong leave, Yan Liquan and Jin Chenming entered Tianxiaji. Seeing a huge crowd of people lining up, they realized they wouldn't be able to eat Tianxiaji's food today. They returned to the Imperial College unhappily. They asked the chief priest for leave on Song Haizhong's behalf and then returned to the classroom for class.
Li Yun left Tianxia Base, walked to a secluded spot, slipped into the space, and then fell into a deep sleep. So she didn't know about her encounter with the original owner's brother, nor did she know that the original owner's brother was looking for her everywhere. After waking up, she cooked noodles in the space and took advantage of the fact that no one was around to slip out of the space and return to Tianxia Base.
"Mom, where have you been?" Sanbao asked his mother when he saw her come back.
"Mom feels a bit stuffy here, so she goes out to get some fresh air. Sanbao, what's wrong? Do you have something to ask mom?" Li Yun asked Sanbao.
"No, I'm just a little worried because I can't see my mother," said Sanbao.
"Don't worry, mother is an adult now. You go find grandpa and grandma, and I'll go see if the ministers have finished eating." Li Yun didn't know how the three princes were eating. It would be better to go up and see, and it would be best to send the three princes away early.
"Mom, Sanbao is going to find grandpa and grandma." After saying that, Sanbao went to the kitchen to find grandpa and grandma.
Li Yun went up to the second floor and saw Changjiang. He asked him to prepare some gifts. These were for the three princes to thank them for their gifts.
