Transmigrated into a farmer's lucky charm, all the villains in the family panicked.

Yun Shengsheng and the others had a blast playing around in the city all day long, until their legs were sore from walking, before finally returning to the restaurant.

I ate all sorts of snacks outside, so much so that I couldn't eat dinner.

Yan Shijin arranged rooms for them, so Yun Shengsheng and the others stayed at the restaurant that night.

The two little girls, Yun Shengsheng and Princess Yongjia, were arranged to sleep in the same room.

Yun Shengsheng was a little depressed, but she had no right to refuse. On the contrary, Princess Yongjia was very happy and pulled Yun Shengsheng to take a bath and go to bed together.

The two were lying in bed, still chattering away about everything under the sun.

Yun Shengsheng knew almost everything about Princess Yongjia's family, including how many bed warmers her brother had...

Yun Shengsheng felt somewhat helpless.

They didn't know how much time had passed, but the night watchman's drum sounded outside the window, and the two of them were still wide awake.

Just after midnight, a noise suddenly came from outside the door.

It wasn't the sound of the wind blowing, nor the sound of a mouse running by; it sounded more like... the sound of light footsteps.

And it wasn't just one person.

Yun Shengsheng and Princess Yongjia both jolted and shut their mouths simultaneously.

The two exchanged a glance, tiptoed to the door, and pressed their ears against the door panel.

Before they could even hear what was happening outside, shouts of killing erupted everywhere—outside the windows, in the hallways, and downstairs.

The clashing of swords was particularly jarring in the night, accompanied by muffled groans and screams, as if they were right next door.

The two of them shuddered and quickly stepped back. Yun Shengsheng swiftly pulled her clothes over her shoulders and draped them over Princess Yongjia.

"Hurry up and get dressed, just in case," she said, and quickly grabbed her clothes to put them on.

Princess Yongjia nodded and hurriedly put on her clothes.

Normally she's fine; she can get dressed without a maid's help. But now, she's so flustered that her hands won't obey her commands.

Seeing this, Yun Shengsheng quickly put on her own clothes and then helped her put them on.

The two had just finished tidying up when the door was suddenly kicked open.

A man in black staggered, collapsed to the ground, and seemed to have breathed his last.

Just then, Linlang and Muyu rushed in wearing only their undergarments, their faces completely drained of color.

Linlang lost one of her shoes, and with one bare foot on the cold floor, she was shivering all over.

Before Yun Shengsheng could ask what was going on, Mo Ning rushed in.

His black clothes were splattered with dark, wet stains, and the short knife at his waist was already drawn, with dark red stains still clinging to the blade.

"Princess, princes, Miss Yun, please come this way with me quickly."

Princess Yongjia and Yun Shengsheng were both startled. Before they could ask any more questions, they ran outside.

Before leaving, Yun Shengsheng reminded Linlang and the others, "Quickly put on a blanket."

Linlang and Muyu understood, quickly put on a blanket each, and followed. Linlang even secretly wore one of Princess Yongjia's shoes.

Yun Shengsheng's heart was pounding in her chest, but a thought was racing through her mind.

Mo Ning was Yan Shijin's secret bodyguard.

If Mo Ning is here, what about Yan Shijin's side?

Thinking this to herself, she asked directly, "Brother Mo Ning, what about Brother Shi Jin?"

"What will happen to him if you leave?"

Mo Ning continued walking without turning her head, replying, "There are still people on Master's side, Miss Yun, you don't need to worry."

Yun Shengsheng bit her lower lip, forcefully suppressing her urge to go back and help.

She's only four years old. If she rushed back, she'd just be throwing her life away and causing more trouble.

Although she possessed modern knowledge, she dared not offer any unsolicited advice.

She has great faith in the wisdom of the ancients.

Mo Ning led the four little ones out of the alley behind the restaurant, and after winding through the maze-like alleys until they were almost dizzy, they finally found a secluded courtyard.

The courtyard was small and dark, looking like it had been dilapidated for a long time; there wasn't even a lamp.

Mo Ning ushered them into a room, crouched down, and whispered, "Princess, Miss Yun, and the two young masters, you all stay here. Don't wander off until I arrive. Just stay here, understand?"

All four heads nodded in unison.

Mo Ning straightened up, lightly touched the ground with her toes, and silently vaulted over the wall like a black bird, instantly swallowed by the night.

The room was pitch black and drafty, making them shiver with cold.

The four little ones huddled together tightly, completely wrapped in two blankets, barely daring to breathe.

A few distant barks of dogs and the sound of the night watchman's clapper could be heard occasionally from outside, but otherwise, all was deathly silent.

In the dead of night, even though everyone was exhausted, no one dared to sleep.

Mu Yu couldn't help but lower her voice to its lowest point and ask, "What... happened?"

Unfortunately, no one could answer him.

Yun Shengsheng had already roughly figured out what was going on in her mind.

It is estimated that Yan Shijin's whereabouts were discovered by one of the princes vying for the throne, and a sneak attack was launched at night.

Mourning took the four of them to safety and then went back to provide support.

I wonder how Yan Shijin is doing now...

They waited until dawn.

Then they waited from morning until noon.

When the sun was high in the sky, a sliver of light peeked through the crack in the door, illuminating the dust particles in the room and making them float in the air.

The four little ones were so hungry that their stomachs were practically sticking to their backs, and their rumbling bellies were especially clear in the quiet room.

But remembering what happened last night and what Mo Ning said, they dared not go out.

Linlang said softly, "I regret not eating properly for dinner last night!"

Mu Yu nodded and said softly, "Me too! The braised pork knuckle yesterday was so delicious, I only had one bite!"

Princess Yongjia pouted, her voice trembling with tears, "I want to eat the steamed pork ribs from yesterday!"

After the three finished speaking, they all looked at Yun Shengsheng.

Yun Shengsheng blinked, sighed, and said, "I want to eat it all, I want everything!"

Princess Yongjia, Linlang, and Muyu: "..."

They waited from noon until nightfall.

The light coming through the crack in the door changed from white to gray, from gray to dark, and finally went completely black.

The four little ones were so hungry they were dizzy, and Princess Yongjia's lips were even turning pale.

Then another night passed, until the morning of the next day.

Yun Shengsheng couldn't stay any longer; she sensed something was wrong.

She licked her chapped lips and said in a low voice, "You guys wait here, I'll go out and take a look first."

Princess Yongjia grabbed her sleeve and shook her head.

"No, no, Mo Ning told us to wait here, we absolutely cannot go out!"

Linlang and Muyu also opposed her going out.

Yun Shengsheng looked at the three of them and said very seriously.

It wasn't a tone of discussion; it meant they had already made up their minds.

"Morning knows we're just kids. Kids cry and fuss when they're hungry; he couldn't possibly not know that. But the fact that he hasn't come looking for us for so long can only mean one thing—"

She paused, her gaze sweeping over the three tense faces: "Something happened to him, and he can't take care of us anymore. So at this moment, we have to save ourselves. We can't just starve to death here..."
