The woman looked closely and saw a face as beautiful as a celestial being, looking at her tenderly.
Just then, Yi Shangyun arrived, wearing a pomegranate red, double-breasted satin cloak with trim.
On this snowy day, it looks so heartwarming and beautiful.
With her exceptionally beautiful, rare phoenix eyes, she gently said to the woman who was almost in despair, "Give me the child quickly, or it will be too late!"
Suddenly realizing what was happening, the woman didn't hesitate for a moment and swiftly handed the child to her.
Instantly, even more enthusiastic discussions erupted from the surrounding crowd.
"Oh my god!"
"What a beautiful girl!"
"She looked like a fairy who had descended from the heavens."
"She actually wants to save this child!"
"This girl herself looks so delicate and frail, does she really know how to save people?"
"It's all over, it's all over..."
"She'll definitely be fooled by that woman!"
Upon hearing this, the woman continued to try to explain: "I'm not a liar, I'm really not a liar, why won't you believe me!"
Only Yi Shangyun was single-minded and completely unconcerned about the voices of those around her.
As soon as she took the child, she quickly turned him over and placed him on her arm.
Then, he used his hollow palm to quickly tap the child's back.
After striking him, they turned his body over so that his face was facing upwards.
Immediately afterwards, he seemingly practiced it with great skill, using two fingers to quickly strike the center of her chest.
Time passed slowly, but the child still didn't seem to react at all.
Even so, everyone present still eagerly awaited the moment.
Yi Shangyun remained calm throughout, only repeating the same actions over and over again.
Over and over again.
I wonder how much time has passed?
Finally, the rumors and gossip started circulating again.
"Give up!"
"Don't waste your energy!"
"That child might have been a stillborn baby!"
"She's just a fraud!"
"Girl, you've been scammed!"
The woman standing to the side, seeing everything in front of her, was also anxious and didn't know what to do.
I could only keep an eye on the child's situation while explaining things to him.
"I am not a liar."
“My child really did choke on the snack.”
Why don't you believe me?
"I beg you, please believe me, please believe me, okay?"
"I really don't..."
Before the woman could finish speaking, a crumb of what appeared to be some kind of nut fell onto the open ground in front of them.
Suddenly, a faint cry, like that of a child, could be heard: "Wah..."
Hearing the familiar voice, the woman stopped crying and looked in shock at her child's face: "My child, it's my child..."
Even though the cry was extremely faint, it was undoubtedly heard by others around.
Everyone immediately fell silent and looked at Yi Shangyun's hand.
Sure enough, a tremendously loud cry rang out again: "Wah..."
Upon hearing this, the woman was incredulous. She covered her mouth tightly with both hands, sobbing uncontrollably, "My child, thank God, my child is finally alright."
At that moment, everyone around was also stunned by the miracle that was happening before their eyes.
"He's alive!"
"That child actually survived."
"It turns out that the child really did choke on the snack."
"This girl is amazing to be able to revive such a young child who had been unconscious for so long!"
In an instant, applause erupted from all around.
After finally returning the child unharmed to the woman, Yi Shangyun collapsed heavily to the ground as if his soul had been ripped away.
Suddenly, as if remembering something, her eyes filled with tears, and she murmured, "She's alive, she's alive..."
At this point, everyone finally believed what the woman had said.
"It turns out we really did wrong her."
"sorry!"
"sorry……"
After apologizing to the woman, everyone left one after another.
The woman, holding her child, approached Yi Shangyun and asked, "Why do you believe me when everyone else says I'm a liar?"
Yi Shangyun said, "Because I once wanted to be a good mother, but unfortunately I was not destined to be with that child; he left me forever. No mother would joke about her own child, let alone use his life to deceive someone..."
It must have been a sad past, and the woman quickly fell silent, unable to bear asking her any more questions.
Suddenly, the woman felt that the woman in front of her looked somewhat familiar, as if she had seen her somewhere before.
So he asked, "Thank you. May I ask your name, my benefactor?"
Yi Shangyun smiled and said, "No need. It's good that your child is alright. I... will leave here soon and never come back!"
Her gaze shifted, and she suddenly noticed a small cut on the woman's hand, from which blood was slowly seeping. She said, "Your hand..."
The woman then realized what had happened, looked at her hand, and said, "Oh, I must have accidentally rubbed it somewhere just now."
Just as he was about to pull his hand back, Yi Shangyun grabbed him.
With his other hand, he quickly took out his own handkerchief to bandage her wound: "Don't move, let me bandage you."
But as soon as the woman saw the soft, clean handkerchief she had taken out, she forcefully pulled her hand back.
He politely declined, saying, "This little injury happens almost every day in our Peach Blossom Village. It's nothing. Don't get your handkerchief dirty."
Yi Shangyun understood the woman's thoughts, but still advised, "It's just a handkerchief, what's the big deal? Wounds are more prone to infection in winter. If you get injured, how will you take care of your child?"
The woman still insisted on refusing her kindness, but Yi Shangyun no longer gave her the chance.
With a strong pull, they finally managed to free one of his hands, which had been dodging and weaving.
Left with no other choice, the woman could only thank her again: "Thank you, young lady."
After carefully bandaging her wound, Yi Shangyun told her, "For the sake of the child, you must take good care of yourself in the future."
The woman smiled, then looked at the child who was now sleeping peacefully in her arms, and said, "By the way, young lady, do you know how to get to the Prince of Qin's residence..."
Unexpectedly, at that moment, Yi Shangyun turned his gaze to a familiar figure not far behind the woman.
He thought to himself, "That woman looks so familiar."
Clearly not having heard the woman's words, Yi Shangyun was only anxious to follow the woman and find out what was going on.
So he hurriedly said goodbye to the woman: "I have something to do. It's freezing outside. You should take the children and go home quickly."
As he spoke, he took out a bag of silver from his pocket and stuffed it into the woman's hand: "Take this silver and buy some new clothes for the children and yourself for the New Year!"
The woman quickly got up and refused, saying, "I am already deeply grateful to you for saving my life, young lady. How can I possibly take your money? What kind of logic is that?"
Seeing that the woman was about to disappear from his sight, Yi Shangyun felt anxious and put the silver into the child's swaddling clothes, saying, "There's no need to refuse anymore. There's not much money here, so just take it."
Immediately afterwards, he abandoned the woman and hurriedly left, chasing after her.
The woman had no choice but to put away the silver and spoke intermittently to his retreating figure.
"What a beautiful and kind-hearted girl! I must have met a fairy descended to earth today."
"But why do I feel like I've seen this fairy somewhere before?"
"Where have we seen this before?"
Completely baffled, the woman could only pick up her feet and continue on her way.
But after what had just happened, he stood there completely lost and disoriented.
"How exactly do we get to the Prince of Qin's residence?"
"Huan'er, the little girl is here to see you."
Where are you?
Meanwhile, in the teahouse...
Young Master Yi finally finished his business at the restaurant across the street, signed a land deed, tucked it into his pocket, and returned beaming.
"That's great. Now that we have this new house, we won't have to live under that jerk's roof and have to put up with his attitude anymore."
However, when they returned, they found the teahouse empty, with both Yi Shangyun and Manager Xue nowhere to be seen.
He exclaimed in surprise, "Strange, where did they go? Where did they go?"
Just as he was about to turn back and go downstairs to ask the shopkeeper, Manager Xue came upstairs, arriving late.
Upon seeing Manager Xue appear, Young Master Yi hurriedly asked, "Where have you been? Why are you all gone as soon as I returned? Why are you the only one who came back? Where is the maid?"
Shopkeeper Xue smiled and replied, "I was just gone for a moment, but you've been there the whole time, haven't you?"
Avoiding Young Master Yi's obstruction, Manager Xue looked towards the tea table and exclaimed in disbelief, "Strange, wasn't the young lady sitting right here? Where is she?"
At this point, Young Master Yi instantly flew into a rage, raising his voice to rebuke him: "Are you asking me? I had important business to attend to today, which is why I specifically asked you to come and keep her company. Where is she now?"
Manager Xue was also very puzzled by this, but he was clearly speechless.
"I……"
"I……"
"how so?"
"Where will the girl go?"
"Don't worry, sir. This place isn't far from the west side of the city. The young lady's home is nearby, so she must be quite familiar with this area. She certainly won't get lost!"
Manager Xue was unaware of many of the details, and although Young Master Yi was furious upon hearing this, he didn't know how to reprimand him: "You..."
As soon as the voice rang out, seeing Manager Xue scratching his head and thinking hard, Young Master Yi shouted at him, "What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and come with me to find him!"
Shopkeeper Xue was startled by the loud voice, and hurriedly followed him downstairs while agreeing, "Yes, yes, yes..."
As soon as I stepped out of the teahouse, I brushed past the woman who had been pleading for help on the street, the one holding a child.
