Liang Youqi racked his brains.

That Miss Yun looks to be only six or seven years old.

But they were bold and capable. Looking back now, which ordinary prostitute would have had such courage and skill?

And that young master, his demeanor was far from ordinary.

The attendants following behind him all had sharp eyes and steady steps, clearly not ordinary guards.

The more she thought about it, the more confused she became.

The prefect's wife also seems to have the surname Yun.

And Miss Yun's surname is also Yun.

Could it be that they were originally from the same family?

Is Miss Yun the prefect's wife's younger sister? And is the young man a friend?

No, no!

If that were the case, the prefect and Lord Sun would not have bowed to that young master.

And he was so respectful.

Liang Youqi got up, patted the dust off her skirt, and then walked towards the small courtyard she rented in the city.

His steps were slow, each one as if he were deep in thought.

No, she had to find out more.

Whether it's Miss Yun, that young master, or the prefect, she's willing to pay any price to get her two younger brothers out of prison...

The main street of Hucheng Prefecture is very wide, allowing three carriages to travel side by side.

On both sides are rows of shops, including teahouses, restaurants, cloth shops and pharmacies, with the words on the signs all gilded and shining in the sunlight.

The street vendors' shouts rose and fell, selling candied hawthorns, roasted chestnuts, new tea, and patterned silks—it was incredibly lively.

Yun Shengsheng lifted the curtain, looking on with great curiosity.

Yun Xiaoxiao introduced it to her with a smile.

"When I have some free time in the next few days, I'll go shopping with you!"

Yun Shengsheng nodded: "Okay, okay! Let's bring Cuicui and Xiaobao along!"

Hearing her say that, Yun Xiaoxiao rubbed her forehead, clearly having a terrible headache!

"Let's not bring them along. If we do, we won't be able to go shopping at all!"

"Those two little devils, sigh!"

Seeing her sister like this, Yun Shengsheng couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Sis, don't worry, I promise I'll make sure they behave! No misbehaving!"

Three carriages arrived at the gate of the prefectural government office, and everyone disembarked.

Fan Sibo quickly led the way for Yan Shijin, his attitude respectful. Mo Ning and several shadow guards stood in rows around him.

Yun Shengsheng was led further inside by Yun Xiaoxiao, following behind them.

Sun Changzai and his wife were the last to walk.

As soon as the group passed through the flower hall, two little children rushed out.

Fan Sibo was startled and quickly said, "Cui Cui, Xiao Bao, you mustn't be rude!"

Mr. Xu, Mrs. Zhao, and several maids and servants quickly followed and pulled the two children away.

Fan Sibo said apologetically to Yan Shijin in a low voice, "I apologize, Your Highness, my son is young and ignorant of etiquette!"

Please forgive me if I have offended you!

"I'll have my family take them away right away!"

Yan Shijin smiled faintly, "Lord Fan, you're too kind. It's a good thing that children are naturally lively; I certainly won't blame them!"

"Let them go, let them play!"

Fan Sibo nodded gratefully, "Thank you, Your Highness!"

Hearing the commotion, Yun Shengsheng peeked out from behind Yan Shijin and her eyes lit up when she saw the two children.

Four-year-old Cui Cui was wearing a clean pink dress, which Yun Shengsheng remembered wearing when she was a child.

The little girl's hair was styled into two round buns, tied with red ribbons, and with her pretty eyebrows and eyes similar to Yun Xiaoxiao's, she was incredibly cute.

Two-year-old Xiaobao, with his little belly sticking out, held Cui Cui's hand, his big eyes darting around.

He looks like Fan Sibo, with a robust and sturdy appearance, and looks very healthy.

Before Yun Shengsheng could speak, Cuicui's eyes lit up, and she exclaimed, "Auntie!"

"Auntie!"

Cui Cui happily let go of Xiao Bao's hand and ran straight to Yun Shengsheng, burying her head in Yun Shengsheng's arms.

Yun Shengsheng smiled and hugged her.

"I never expected that after being away for half a year, Little Cuicui would recognize me at a glance. I'm so happy!"

Xiao Bao was clearly stunned for a moment, but when he finally came to his senses, he called out "Sister!" and rushed over.

Although he wasn't very good at speaking and couldn't remember Yun Shengsheng, it didn't stop him from learning from his older sister.

With her two chubby little hands outstretched, she said to Yun Shengsheng, "Hug me!"

"I want a hug!"

Yun Shengsheng smiled and patted his head, but in the end, Yun Xiaoxiao picked up the baby and scolded him with a laugh:

"What are you doing, you brat? Do you even know how much you weigh?!"

"Your aunt probably doesn't even weigh as much as you!"

At the same time, a noisy commotion came from behind.

It turns out that Sun Chang's Five Lucky Treasures from home have also arrived.

The five children born to Consort Sun and Consort Cui are now all one year old, at the most chubby and adorable age.

Five wet nurses each held one baby, lining up the five little ones in a row. The scene looked just like a row of freshly steamed white bread buns.

The children, all with chubby faces, were a mix of various activities. Some were gnawing on their fists, some were drooling, some were already asleep, and some were blowing little bubbles from their mouths. The youngest girl stared with her big, round eyes, curiously looking around.

Yun Shengsheng felt instantly surrounded by seven dolls, and she was so busy hugging and holding them that she couldn't keep up. She kept giggling as they amused her.

Yan Shijin stood to the side watching this scene, a gentle smile on her lips.

He recalled his childhood, when he was often unwell.

Everyone respected him, took good care of him, and dared not utter a sound.

As he grew older, he was always surrounded by rules, etiquette, and caution in his words and actions. He had never been as happy and unrestrained as Yun Shengsheng.

He actually envied her...

Fan Sibo originally wanted to take this opportunity to report to His Highness the Crown Prince on the recent arrest of Liang Boyan's remaining followers.

Just as he was about to speak, Yun Xiaoxiao reached out and tugged at his sleeve.

"My lord, let's talk about it tomorrow."

"His Highness the Crown Prince and my younger sister have been traveling for more than twenty days, covered in dust and exhausted."

"Let them rest well for a day. We can talk about any important business after breakfast tomorrow."

Fan Sibo thought about it and felt that his wife was the most thoughtful.

Yun Xiaoxiao led them to the backyard and arranged two adjacent courtyards.

The courtyard on the right is where Yun Shengsheng lives. There are several green bamboos and a loquat tree in it. There are stone tables and benches under the tree. The bedding in the room is all newly changed and there is also sandalwood incense for calming the nerves. The main reason is that it is close to Yun Xiaoxiao and the others.

The courtyard on the left was for Yan Shijin to live in. It was larger, with a main house and a small study. The study was fully equipped with writing brushes, ink, paper, and inkstones, and even a map was hung up.

After the welcome dinner in the evening, everyone went back to rest.

The next morning, after Yun Shengsheng had breakfast, she was immediately taken to the study.

Fan Sibo smiled and said, "I don't know why, but I feel incredibly at ease whenever my sister-in-law is around!"

Sun Changzai nodded in agreement: "Yes, yes, I feel the same way!"

"It feels like as long as the county magistrate is around, nothing is a problem! Everything will be easily resolved!"

Yun Shengsheng: "..."

No, you guys are treating me like a mascot...
