He sensed that this little guy still had many secrets. If he let her go this time, he might not see her again.
Juanjuan stopped in her tracks, hoping her older brother would speak to her in his ear soon.
Her family just asked her to pretend and, incidentally, to have a friendly exchange with this person.
It was not said that he could be taken back.
Just when Juanjuan didn't know what to do.
"Rolling up".
Her mother's familiar voice gave her confidence.
The mountain path was winding and meandering, so when Jiang Dai and Bai Tian came out from around the bend, it didn't arouse any suspicion.
"Mother! Father!"
Juanjuan immediately abandoned the boy and turned to run into her mother's arms.
Jiang Dai bent down and hugged Juanjuan, patted the child's back, and then took Juanjuan's hand.
Their gaze fell upon the young man.
Mu Shisan was the first to bow: "I am Mu Qinzhuo, the thirteenth son of the Mu family."
The young girl was apprenticed to two older sisters, so her parents must know the Mu family. There's no harm in him introducing himself.
Jiang Dai nodded: "If Young Master Mu doesn't mind, let's go down the mountain together."
The mountain road is difficult to walk, and what's even more frightening is that if you have to walk back on your own two legs, it will probably take a whole day.
Fortunately, among the three sons, there is always one who is thoughtful.
After walking for an hour, when they reached the foot of the mountain, they saw a carriage, and Bai Yunqi stood beside it.
They all gave the same story: they were passing through this area when they were robbed by bandits. An old man appeared, carrying a flying sword. Seeing that the younger sister had excellent aptitude, he took her as his disciple and went up the mountain to suppress the bandits.
This also explains why the child appeared, why Jiang Dai and Bai Tian appeared, and why there was a carriage at the foot of the mountain.
In the Bai family's courtyard.
The twins were the first to return home.
It's not for any other reason than that some things at home need to be put away first.
As darkness fell, the carriage slowly approached, and the driver was none other than Mu Jia Shisan.
The Bai family's servants were frightened away by the bandits, and the two remaining elders couldn't drive a carriage, nor could the two children.
Naturally, Mu Shisan was sent.
Mu Shisan had a vague feeling that he might have been tricked, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it, as everything seemed quite normal.
"Thank you very much, young friend Mu."
Bai Tian sincerely thanked them after getting off the carriage.
Jiang Dai beckoned to the boy, "Come on in, have a meal. Don't be shy, make yourself at home."
Mu Shisan nodded and followed him into the inconspicuous little courtyard.
It was spotlessly clean, but I didn't see any servants, which was a bit strange.
Even if they came from the capital, the whole family should bring some servants with them.
"Second brother, third brother."
The little girl standing to the side spoke up in a clear voice.
Mu Shisan looked up and saw two little boys who looked very similar but had slightly different temperaments walking out.
Twins?
That's rather rare.
However, the four children of the Bai family are outstanding, both in appearance and temperament.
Jiang Dai and Bai Tian went to cook, leaving the children to keep Mu Jia Thirteen company.
Anyway, those kids are all shrewd, and the second son probably wants to get to know his cousin better.
Mu Shisan initially thought that the Bai family children were good-looking and had good temperaments, but after exchanging a few words, he realized that he had underestimated them again.
This family is indeed hiding their true abilities, which is to be expected. Otherwise, why would their two older sisters take on apprentices?
Mu Shisan carefully concealed his purpose for coming to Yunjiang.
Bai Yunxing had already roughly guessed it, but he didn't say it out loud.
It seems there's a problem with the Mu family army's supplies, but why send Little Thirteen is probably something Uncle has his own reasons for.
After having dinner, Mu Shisan thanked him and left.
The boy's figure gradually disappeared into the night.
The corrupt elements in Yunjiang were first discovered in Lianyun City.
Bai Yunqi watched the boy's departing figure and snapped his fingers: "Nobody wants to follow him and see?"
Bai Yunxing was silent for a moment, then said, "Then I'll trouble you, brother. Let's go."
"Hehe, how can you say it's troublesome!"
Bai Yunqi was very happy with his second brother's reaction, as for his remaining two younger brothers and sisters...
The third child, needless to say, is always lazy at such a young age, always saying he wants to take care of his health.
And the younger sister.
Bai Yunqi looked at his younger sister, who had finished eating and was now staring blankly with her head down.
"Juanjuan? My little sister?"
Juanjuan suddenly snapped out of her daze, looked at her older brother, and her eyes were filled with confusion.
Bai Yun'an, upon hearing this, also looked at her younger sister with curiosity.
He seemed to be pondering what his younger sister had been thinking just now.
"Should we go with my brother to see what Mu Shisan is up to?"
Juanjuan shook her head: "I'm not going."
"Oh, okay then."
Bai Yunqi didn't investigate further. He simply gave his third brother a wink and then left with his second brother.
"What were you thinking about just now? Was it because of your fight with Mu Shisan?"
Bai Yun'an tentatively guessed.
Having been guessed by her third brother, Juanjuan slowly nodded.
