you."Wang Xiumei almost couldn't hold back and wanted to say something sarcastic about Fang Jinshu as she used to, but Fang Dazhu pulled her back in time."Hee hee, Jinxiu is right. My brother-in-law...Little Yue was knocked unconscious and left on the roadside.

She had offended the King of Jing, and the common people around her dared not come forward to help her.

Xiaoyue had been in a coma for several hours. As dusk approached, she finally woke up. When she opened her eyes, she thought she was in the underworld and that she was already dead.

... until the vendor at the nearby stall kindly reminded her.

"Both your two young masters have been taken back to the Prince's Manor by Prince Jing. You should hurry back and report."

"Poor those two lovely little ones, I wonder what they're going through now."

Xiao Yue woke up suddenly, scrambled to her feet and ran back frantically, crying all the while, consumed by self-reproach.

During those few hours that she was unconscious, Dong'er and Yuanbao, who had been brought back home by King Jing, finally felt a twinge of fear.

Dong'er was looking at Yuanbao, who was tightly curled up in her arms. He was still clutching his small sword, ready to protect himself. Dong'er was filled with self-blame.

"Jade, it's all my fault. I was too impulsive and didn't protect you well."

"You got caught too, because of me."

"Don't worry, your brother will definitely find a way to save you later."

"

Yuan Bao shook his head, "Big brother don't be afraid, Yuan Bao will beat the bad guys away, and stay with big brother."

"

He thought for a moment, then added, “Mother will definitely come to save us.”

Dong'er nodded. When they were taken away, he saw that Little Aunt Yue was just knocked unconscious and left on the roadside, not killed.

As soon as Little Moon Aunt woke up, her mother-in-law would definitely come quickly to save them.

However, the man who took them away could have made things clean and neat. He deliberately let Aunt Xiaoyue go home to report.

For a moment, Dong'er understood something and furrowed her brows deeply.

This man is deliberately trying to get his stepmother over here!

What does he want to do Could it be that he still wants to harm his stepmother

As soon as Dong'er thought of this possibility, she struggled desperately. The people who bound their hands and feet didn't know why they didn't dare to use too much force. The ropes weren't tied very tightly, so she broke free in a short while, regaining her freedom with both hands.

Dong'er loosened Yuanbao's restraints and strode toward the door, attempting to open it.

The result found that the door was locked from the outside, as were the windows.

"Brother Dong'er, Yuanbao still hid a small knife."

It was a very small, very small knife. Fang Jinshi made it for her son based on the model of a modern pencil sharpener, and its function was simply to sharpen pencils.

The pencil was something she made when she had nothing to do, it took a few tries before it was successful.

Because she was really unaccustomed to writing with a brush pen.

Yuanbao loved playing with his mother's novelties, and secretly kept this one on him, taking it out to fiddle with during his free time.

I never expected this to come in handy.

Seeing this, Dong'er's eyes lit up. This was perfect; with this, he could pry open the wooden weather stripping on the window frame.

"Yuan Bao, your stepmother didn't say you weren't allowed to wear these things Aren't you afraid of getting poked"

Yuanbao is too young to play with such sharp knives. It's also to prevent him from hurting himself.

Even at this juncture, Dong'er didn't forget to fulfill her elder sister's responsibilities and lectured Yuanbao.

Yuan Bao giggled and nodded, "I know, Dong'er brother. Yuan Bao won't hide next time."

Dong'er helplessly closed her mouth.

This kid, he says he knows but next time he's going to do the same thing all over again.

If caught, admit your mistake immediately! Be the fastest to own up.

I just can't get through to him.

"Big brother Dong'er, let's quickly pry open the window and escape!"

Dong'er nodded, and the two children immediately got to work with enthusiasm.

Having brought the person back, King Jing threw him into a courtyard and locked him up. The more he thought about Dong'er's face, the more he felt something was off. He hurriedly summoned his confidant.

"Check the background of these two guys."

"Especially that young boy named Dong'er."

"Also, don't hurt them. Loosen the ropes a bit, and send some food over for them."

After the trusted attendant and maidservant left for just a moment, the head steward of the manor hurried back in.

"My lord, it's not good. The two boys you brought back pried open the window and ran away."

Fu Shangyuan raised an eyebrow. Hearing this news, he was not angry, but rather surprised. There was even a hint of amusement in his eyes.

"They're two crafty little devils."

"Quite capable."

They can't escape the palace. Send people to search inside and bring whoever you find here.

"Bring all the food over here."

Fu Shangyuan's guess was right, Jing Wangfu was so big, Dong'er and Yuanbao didn't know the way, even if they escaped, they wouldn't know which door to go out of.

Like two headless flies, they are a bit clever, but they still can't compare to the cunning of adults.

In a short while, the steward brought over two little boys for the Prince Jing. stepped forward and patted his shoulder."Don't be afraid, your stepmother said she will come to take you home tomorrow morning.""No matter who your biological parents are, whether or not you find the...
