Every time they unlocked one, they would gasp in surprise, and then, following Liu Cong's example, they would try to unlock it themselves. After a few attempts, they managed to do it as well. Liu Cong seemed satisfied with the intelligence of the Two Little Treasures. He took out other mechanisms from his small backpack, and with one willing to teach and two eager to learn, the three children played together for a while.
After eating and drinking, Qi Shuo was about to take Liu Cong to the Lei Family. The children were reluctant to part ways with each other. Sang Qingxiao witnessed what felt like a life-and-death farewell, internally mocking the two little actors and adding one little innocent.
Originally, it was thought that once this chaos ended, Liu Cong would be taken to the Royal Tomb, and the bond among the children would gradually fade. Unexpectedly, before dawn, when the Small Tavern opened its doors, the children huddled outside, nearly frozen. Upon hearing the noise, one child looked up with doe-like eyes at Sang Qingxiao, who hurriedly brought him into the kitchen to warm up.
When did you come? Why didn’t you knock? The child lowered his head and remained silent. Sang Qingxiao squeezed a warm towel and wiped the child's face and hands before serving him a bowl of eight-treasure porridge along with a meat bun.
While preparing breakfast, he sat obediently by the door, slowly eating his food and occasionally peeking at her. This behavior reminded Sang Qingxiao of Buddha Treasure when he first arrived—both were so cautious.
As dawn broke, the little ones finally woke up. Upon seeing Liu Cong, their faces lit up with joy as they pulled him along to find Yin Can and Silly Beast next door to play. When Sang Qingxiao and Qi Shuo came for breakfast, she informed him of this situation—was it that the Lei Family did not accept him?
Yesterday, I shared some unwanted news from the Liu Family with them; their expressions varied. However, the Lei Family operated under Lei Zong'ao's absolute authority. His orders were not to be defied; after a brief moment of panic, they accepted him as usual.
But I had told you before that the Lei Family is related by marriage to the Liu Family. The few daughters-in-law from the Liu Family appeared indifferent and had not yet recovered from their shock. Their eyes often lingered on Liu Cong; I suspect that’s where the problem lies.
After finishing my meal, I planned to go capture people from the Liu Family and inquire about the children’s situation. Sang Qingxiao asked if everyone from the Liu Family was to be captured. Liu Fan remarked that they were even less significant than a small pawn; it shouldn’t require such elaborate efforts.
However, after interrogating those three all night regarding their backers, not a word was spoken about them. Yet they revealed quite a bit about those involved with Court—mostly insignificant Official Families—with the Liu Family comprising more than half.
Those incited by Liu Fan had their own agendas and were eager to perform in front of the three men, fearing they might fall behind others. Therefore, capturing them became necessary; hopefully, we could glean some clues from them.
Around noon, The Office of Censors brought over a group of people. Qi Shuo also came by to discuss Liu Cong's situation. The daughters-in-law of the Liu Family did not wish for their family to fall into disgrace; knowing that Lei Zong'ao valued Liu Cong and that His Majesty needed his skills as well, they secretly sent the child to the Liu Family in hopes that Lei Zong'ao would advocate for them more earnestly.
However, after sending him to the Liu Family, they realized disaster was imminent and began blaming Liu Fan. Unable to see Liu Fan himself, they vented their frustrations on Liu Cong instead. The members of the Liu Family dared not act against him; knowing how to hide well, he took advantage of the night and ran over here.
