The little girl looked around blankly and soon fixed her sight on Jin.
As far as she could remember, she had never seen anyone who wore bright and beautiful clothes like Jin, and who was completely different from her mother.
A few years ago, Jin was returning to her parents' home with her newborn baby. When she stopped for a rest on the way, the child was stolen. She searched for many years before she got the news.
Jin: "This is my baby. He looks a lot like my husband. Give him back to me and I'll give you money."
Widow Liu said the same thing, pushing her daughter, "Take her away. If you want to take her, take her away."
Seeing this, several villagers followed the instructions of the village chief to snatch the child. The village chief said earnestly: "Widow Liu, the emperor is in our village now. If you make trouble again, I will sentence you to death when the emperor comes!"
Widow Liu was frightened, but she still hugged her youngest son tightly. The strong child's face turned blue and his crying became weak.
The few people did not dare to pull the child away forcefully, fearing that Widow Liu would really kill the child, so they stood by helplessly.
Widow Liu ran as fast as she could, squeezed out a passage through the crowd, and in the blink of an eye she disappeared into the fields and headed north.
...
...
The village chief had no choice but to send people to chase after them. Jin was in tears and widow Liu's little daughter just stood there in a daze.
This little girl probably didn't know that Widow Liu really didn't plan to keep her this time. She thought it was just like her mother usually left her to take care of her younger brother.
After a while, Jin wiped her tears and took the little girl's hand, "You follow me first, you are also my son's sister. When I find my son, we will go home together."
…
Lin Zhiya and Zhao Xiaoxiong walked slowly on the path, one big and one small, holding hands.
Zhao Xiaoxiong: "Mother, have you and General Chi known each other before?"
Lin Zhiya: “…We knew each other before.”
Zhao Xiaoxiong suddenly realized and took out a fine antique from his arms, "No wonder he gave me this, it turns out that my mother and he are very close."
Lin Zhiya was a little surprised. She then remembered that she hadn't seen Chi Xuanye for a long time. Has he gone back?
At this time, figures appeared on the path in the distance. They were Chi Xuanye and Han Yema, and there was another person on the horse... When Lin Zhiya got closer, she realized that it was Chi Rong.
Chi Rong's complexion looked better. Maybe it was because of the rouge she put on, but she didn't look as miserable as before.
But why is she here?
Chi Xuanye led the horse over and explained to Lin Zhiya unnaturally: "Sister heard that the emperor is here and wanted to talk to him."
Chi Rong smiled faintly and looked at Lin Zhiya meaningfully: "Madam Lin, please don't misunderstand me. I just need to report my grandfather's funeral to the emperor."
Before Lin Zhiya could speak, Zhao Xiaoxiong frowned and said, "Then why don't you wait for your father to return to the palace? Why are you in such a hurry?"
Chi Rong was stunned for a moment, and reluctantly explained: "How can the funeral be delayed? It won't be a problem if I go there."
Even Zhao Xiaoxiong noticed something was wrong, and he quietly asked Lin Zhiya, "Is this true, mother?"
Lin Zhiya thought it would be better if the child didn't know, so she told him in a neither loud nor soft voice: "You see, Aunt Chi is not in good health. She really can't wait long."
Chi Rong glared at Lin Zhiya angrily, feeling annoyed as if his secret had been touched upon.
Chi Rong was about to ask his younger brother for help, but when he thought about how Chi Xuanye had come here without saying anything for so long, he looked at Chi Xuanye with suspicion.
When they were about to turn back, Chi Rong quietly approached Lin Zhiya and asked, "What kind of drug did you give Aye? Why is he here?"
Lin Zhiya thought, how come Chi Rong seems to be more energetic after not seeing him for a while?
Lin Zhiya narrowed her eyes and asked her, "Sometimes I really doubt whether you are really sick."
Chi Rong thought Lin Zhiya was mocking her, so she left with a gloomy face.
The conversation between Zhao Chen and Cai Fuyuan was still going on. Chi Rong couldn't help but ask someone to come in and announce her arrival, but Zhao Chen didn't even look at her. It seemed that he had no intention of seeing her.
Instead, he asked, "Who? Chi Rong? Why did she come here?"
This sentence came out from the thatched hut and fell clearly into the ears of several people outside. Lin Zhiya was not surprised.
Chi Rong's behavior this time was indeed out of line. He had already left the palace and followed Zhao Chen here, so naturally he would be questioned.
Chi Rong had no choice but to wait outside, her face flushed. She vaguely felt that the country girls from the Li family were looking at her.
Really! Chi Rong cursed secretly. Not only were these country girls ugly and weird, but they also looked at her like that, as if she was some kind of strange person.
Chi Rong wanted to find a sense of security in her younger brother, but when she looked up, she found Chi Xuanye leading the horse to the side, so she had to stay where she was and wait.
Chi Rong thought... She had a hard time after returning to the Chi family. Her grandfather passed away, and her parents were moving back to their hometown. Her second uncle treated her very badly, thinking that it was her behavior that brought trouble to the Chi family.
She used to have everything she wanted, but now she has to look at her second uncle's mood even in her own home!
Even when seeing a doctor, the expensive medicinal herbs prescribed by the doctor had to be approved by my second uncle.
She had to find a way out for herself. After much deliberation, she decided to come to Zhao Chen to test the waters and act pitifully in front of him as she did before.
Li Sanya squatted on the ground and whispered to her sister: "Who is that person? She looks so ugly. Did someone make her angry?"
Li Daya covered her mouth and stopped her from talking. "If you say anything else, she will take you away as a slave."
Li Sanya was so frightened that she dared not say a word.
She knew that Uncle Wang in the village had been captured and forced to do hard labor, and had not returned yet. Aunt Wang had even remarried with her child.
Of course Chi Rong heard what they said, but he couldn't get angry, so he gritted his teeth and pretended he didn't hear it.
Lin Zhiya took Zhao Xiaoxiong to bask in the sun at the door. Zhao Xiaoxiong leaned on Lin Zhiya and said, "Mother, it's pretty good outside the palace."
Lin Zhiya: "Really? Then when the little bear grows up, he can travel around your father's kingdom."
Zhao Xiaoxiong agreed and fell asleep soon after.
Lin Zhiya carried him into the house, and suddenly remembered the system prompt in her mind: "System upgrade completed, restarting."
"Check in once in the small village and you will receive a reward: one chance to predict the future."
"Unlocked the memory, triggered the side quest reward, and will soon receive the reward: a bottle of colorless and odorless knockout drug that spreads in the air."
"The system has been upgraded, the achievements have been improved, and rewards will be given soon: money will be increased by 10%."
…
…
Has the system been upgraded?
No wonder the system has been silent since arriving in the small village.
The accumulation of all the previous rewards made Lin Zhiya dazzled. She put Zhao Xiaoxiong on the bed, put away the knockout drug, and clicked on the function of predicting the future.
The next moment, Lin Zhiya's soul was sucked into a space.
