Gao Pengcheng had encountered this situation before.
In most cases, the maternal grandparents are reluctant to let their daughters and grandchildren suffer, so after the children have been away for two or three months, they find someone to pretend to be their benefactor and buy them away.
After buying it, we'll find a way to get a fake identity and send it somewhere else.
Gao Pengcheng thought that these two people were probably sent by in-laws of the Yun family.
The remaining 20% is because some people like to buy the families of convicted officials.
Although few, they are not non-existent.
Furthermore, these two people could also have been sent by enemies of the Yun family.
The practice of hiring people halfway through life is no secret; relatives by marriage can think of it, and so can enemies.
Gao Pengcheng took the silver notes. "How many do you want to buy?"
Although the Yun family's children had carriages to ride in and meat to eat, they were unable to participate in the imperial examinations or leave their place of exile due to their status as exiled convicts.
Therefore, Gao Pengcheng didn't know whether Old Master Yun and Sisi were willing to let these two people buy the Yun family's children.
Gao Pengcheng wanted to ask a few more questions before going back to find Grandpa Yun and Sisi.
The person who slipped the silver to Gao Pengcheng breathed a sigh of relief when Gao Pengcheng accepted it. "We want both children six years old and under, is that alright?"
"You want a baby too?"
"want."
"What favors did your master receive from the Yun family?"
The man slipped another silver note to Gao Pengcheng. "Officer, although my master wants to repay the debt of gratitude, he is afraid of causing trouble for his wife and children. Officer, please be lenient."
"Alright. You guys wait here, I'll go back and ask."
"Thank you for your help."
After Gao Pengcheng returned, he told Grandpa Yun and Sisi what had happened. "Grandpa, Xiao Liu, what do you think?"
Grandpa Yun: "Let them go, and thank them for me."
Gao Pengcheng wasn't surprised at all by what Old Master Yun said. Gao Pengcheng looked at Sisi.
Sisi mentally went through the details. Each room had children aged six and under. Was this an attempt to ensure each room had a heir?
Sisi looked around.
The location was chosen quite cleverly.
There are barriers in front and behind, and there is an open space on the side.
Sisi pointed to the open space and said, "Uncle Gao, let's go rest over there."
"good."
Gao Pengcheng told everyone to drive all the cars to that open space.
The two men looked back after Gao Pengcheng had the cars driven into the open space.
Old Master Yun wanted to say that the Yun family didn't do anything illegal or disorderly. However, Old Master Yun looked at the carriage beneath him, and then thought of Twelve, who was nursing in his wet nurse's arms...
That's enough!
Xiao Liu is right: water that is too clear has no fish, and a person who is too discerning has no followers.
Yun Yuqi was also in Sisi's car. Yun Yuqi breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Old Master Yun didn't insist on his opinion. "Daughter, do you want to ask them who sent them?"
"Okay. Tell my eldest aunt, my second aunt, my fourth aunt, fifth aunt, sixth aunt, and seventh aunt to go and see if those two people have any accessories or anything they recognize?" The two people followed them after they stopped in the open space.
"Alright, Father will go right away."
After Yun Yuqi told Wang Ningxue and the others what Sisi had said, Wang Ningxue and the others went over.
When the two men saw them coming, they started to flirt and pose.
Wang Ningxue and the others: "..." You don't need to do this, I can recognize you.
Sisi had just played with Twelve for a while when Wang Ningxue and the others returned.
"Xiao Liu, the hat on that man's head is a gift I gave to my father."
"Xiao Liu, the gourd on that person's waist is the one I played with when I was a kid."
"Xiao Liu, the beads on that man's wrist are a gift I gave to my mother."
"Xiao Liu, the flowers on that person's sleeve were embroidered by my mother."
"Xiao Liu, the hairpin in that person's hair was carved by my brother."
"Xiao Liu, the pipe hanging on that man's waist is one I made for my grandfather when I was a child."
Sisi looked over at Grandpa Yun. "Grandpa, you have such good taste in choosing a family to marry into."
Grandpa Yun glanced at Yun Yuqi. "Even he can misjudge people sometimes."
Yun Yuqi pretended not to understand. "Grandpa, what do you think of this?"
"Go back and discuss it. Those who want their children to come along can let them go."
Wang Ningxue and the others were quite surprised. They had thought that Old Master Yun would simply let the two people leave.
Sisi smiled. Not bad, you've improved. "If you want to send the child away, I'll have Lao Hei send people to follow them and make sure they deliver the child to your relatives."
"Then...then we'll go back and discuss it."
"Um."
After they left, Old Master Yun closed his eyes.
Sisi smiled. Was her great-grandfather trying to avoid seeing it? Or did he feel he had fallen from grace?
Soon, Wang Ningxue and the others had made up their minds.
Grandpa Yun opened his eyes when he heard they had returned. "Have you discussed it?"
"It's been decided," said Wei Chaoyu, the eldest granddaughter-in-law of Old Master Yun and Sisi's aunt, on behalf of everyone. "We won't send the children away."
Grandpa Yun was very pleased to hear this.
Sisi smiled after hearing this. Have these people become smarter, or are they afraid of tarnishing the Yun family's reputation?
Upon hearing this, Yun Yuqi couldn't help but ask, "Why?"
Wei Chaoyu looked at Yun Yuqi and said, "There are many reasons. First of all, we believe that with Xiao Liu's master around, children like Xiao Liu, who are six years old or younger, can grow up safely."
"Secondly, our parents and siblings love us dearly, and we shouldn't cause them any trouble."
"Thirdly, even after sending Xiao Liu and the others away, they will still have to hide."
Fourth, we don't want to be separated from our children.
