After Su Liyue came out of the imperial study, she was in a depressed mood and always felt that the emperor had given her an impossible task.
As for the idea of escaping - all under heaven belongs to the king, where can she escape to?
Besides, running away from problems is not her style.
Just when I was feeling depressed, Su Liyue had already walked to the square in front of the palace gate.
However, the square was empty, and there was no carriage!
Ye Cangming, he didn't wait for her!
Does this mean she should walk back?
That’s too much!
Su Liyue was so angry that her eyes turned red, but she could do nothing.
There was no other way. Without a carriage, Su Liyue could only choose to walk back.
Walking on the noisy streets and looking at the bustling streets, Su Liyue felt much better.
No matter what, there are still two months to find a solution.
She just didn't believe that there was any medical problem that she, Su Liyue, couldn't overcome.
Thinking of this, Su Liyue let out a breath of foul air.
At this moment, there was a commotion ahead.
"Quick, catch him."
"You little bastard, I'm going to beat you to death."
"Stop right there—"
"Oh, my chicken, my duck—"
When Su Liyue looked up, she saw chaos ahead.
It can be said that it was a chaotic scene.
Just then, a group of big men were chasing a little boy, cursing, and chickens and ducks were running around between the big men and the little boy.
The scene was so chaotic that passers-by stopped to watch.
However, Su Liyue was stunned when she saw the little boy's face - isn't this the little boy who took the bun from the cat in the carriage?
When Su Liyue was thinking this, she saw the little boy suddenly looking at her.
For some reason, the moment the little boy looked at her, she seemed to see stars in his eyes.
Just a pair of bright eyes that are particularly attractive.
"Mother, save me!"
The soft and cute shout made Su Liyue stunned.
The next moment, a small body suddenly threw itself into her arms, soft and warm. Su Liyue couldn't help but wrap her hands around that small body.
However, the word "mother" still echoed in Su Liyue's heart, making her feel a strange feeling inexplicably.
At this time, the group of big men had already caught up.
Looking at what Su Liyue was wearing, the big men hesitated.
But after a moment's hesitation, a large man looked at Su Liyue warily, "Is this lady related to this little rabbit... child?"
Just now he heard the child calling the lady "mother".
However, although the lady was dressed simply, the material of her clothes was not something that ordinary people could use, and the child was dressed in rags, like a beggar... In short, he didn't believe that the child was related to the lady, but he had to confirm it.
After all, although there are not many kind-hearted people in the capital, there are still some. What if the lady in front of him just wants to meddle in other people's affairs?
Su Liyue saw what the big man was thinking and subconsciously looked down at the child in her arms.
At this moment, the child was looking up at her with his wet, round eyes, a pleading look on his face.
Looking at the pitiful appearance of the little guy, Su Liyue felt soft-hearted.
"My son is playful. I wonder what he has done wrong to make you chase him like this?" Su Liyue looked at the big man indifferently, her eyes intimidating without anger.
The big man was stunned and looked at the little boy with a hint of uncertainty in his eyes.
This... is this really the son of this lady?
Adhering to the principle of less trouble is worse than more, the big man softened his attitude. "It's like this. Our boss is from the Jufu Restaurant. Recently, some dishes have been missing. We found them on this boy. Madam, please take a look..."
The big man rubbed his hands, and his meaning was very clear: just compensate them for their losses and everything would be fine.
Upon hearing this, Su Liyue thought of the scene when the white cat stole the buns that day, and looked at the little person in her arms.
But the little guy's face was slightly red, and he looked guilty.
Su Liyue: "...How much silver did the child take?"
After confirming that these men were not lying, Su Liyue asked directly.
When the big man heard this, he hurriedly said, "Not much, not much, just twenty taels."
Su Liyue said nothing when she heard this, and silently put her hands into her sleeves... then she paused.
She was new here, where did she get the money?
But when he looked down at the little girl's trusting eyes, he swallowed his words about not having money.
Forget it, forget it, who made her feel soft-hearted towards this child?
Su Liyue looked around and saw an old man making water bamboo baskets next to her, so she asked him for a small piece of bamboo.
Under the puzzled gazes of the crowd, Su Liyue pulled out the silver hairpin that was used to secure her hair, and then used the bamboo to casually tie up her long black hair.
Su Liyue handed the hairpin to the big man and said, "I didn't bring any money with me today, so I'll use this hairpin as payment."
This hairpin was the original owner's dowry. It was very heavy and inlaid with some gems. It was worth more than twenty taels.
The big man suppressed a hint of surprise in his eyes, took the hairpin, bowed to Su Liyue, and left with his men.
After everyone had left, Su Liyue turned to look at the little guy, only to find that he looked like he was about to run away.
Su Liyue didn't say anything and directly reached out and grabbed the little guy's collar.
Seeing that his escape failed, the little guy looked at Su Liyue with an aggrieved and pitiful look.
Seeing him like this, the words she wanted to blame were instantly swallowed back into her stomach and eventually turned into a sigh.
