"I……"

"Xiaobao, if you have anything to do, just tell mom. If mom can help you, she will definitely help you. Your dad has a bad temper now, and a lot of things have happened recently. You must not rush into him, otherwise, he will Punishing you to kneel down is a light punishment, but it is possible to spread your buttocks open or hit you with a hand until it becomes swollen."

Yu Qiaoqiao's words made Xiaobao shake his body timidly.

Leng Xi's punishment of him was still fresh in his memory. Now after his mother reminded him, he seemed to see that when his father found out that he was peeking at his whereabouts in order to find An An, he would definitely beat him half to death.

Thinking of this, he pursed his lips and whispered,

"I heard...I heard that we have a secret room in our home. Mom, is this true? Have you seen it?"

"Secret room?"

Yu Qiaoqiao looked at him suspiciously, "I didn't hear that there was a secret room in the mansion. Who did you listen to?"

Xiaobao hurriedly shook his head and explained,

"I guessed it myself. Also, why does dad eat in the study? Shouldn't he eat with you?"

Seeing that Xiaobao was doubtful about this, Yu Qiaoqiao breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly explained,

"Your father has been feeling unwell recently and has official duties to attend to, so he eats in the study. There's nothing surprising about that."

"Can dad eat two food boxes by himself? I just saw the girl go in with two big food boxes."

"what do you wish to ask?"

Yu Qiaoqiao suddenly felt that Xiaobao was a little strange today.

Xiaobao stuck out his tongue and shook his head vigorously.

"It's nothing, I'm just curious, so I asked."

"Did you go to Prince Yu's Mansion today?"

Yu Qiaoqiao suddenly changed the topic, which made Xiaobao stunned for a moment, but he immediately responded, "I'm not going."

"Don't lie to mom. Mom knew when you went out and she also knew when you came back. Mom is not a fool, but she doesn't blame you. You tell mom that you miss An An, right?"

Seeing that his mother had exposed his lie, Xiaobao nodded vigorously, and then asked timidly:

"Mom, can you not tell dad? He won't let me go to Prince Yu's Mansion or ask about An An anymore. Can you keep it a secret for me?"

Yu Qiaoqiao patted his shoulder and smiled softly,

"Of course you can. If Mom didn't want you to go to Prince Yu's Mansion, she would have stopped you from going out. In fact, Mom is also worried about An An's safety. After all, she is a smart and cute little girl, although Mom doesn't have much contact with her. , but mother also doesn’t want anything to happen to her.”

Yu Qiaoqiao's words surprised Xiaobao. He looked up at Yu Qiaoqiao and asked timidly:

"Mom, are you willing to help me find An An?"

Yu Qiaoqiao sighed and shook his head resentfully,

"Prince Yu's Mansion has sent countless officials but they haven't been found. It's futile for us to look for him. We might as well wait for news at home."

"Mom, that's not the case. I probably know where An An is now, but there is no evidence."

Hearing this, Yu Qiaoqiao's face suddenly sank. She looked at Xiaobao doubtfully,

"Where is she? What do you know?"

Xiaobao glanced at the door to make sure no servants were there, then lowered his voice and whispered:

"She may be in a secret room in our home, so I suspect that there is a secret room in dad's study."

His words made Yu Qiaoqiao full of doubts.

She frowned in confusion,

"Why do you have such an idea? Who told you?"

Xiaobao shook his head vigorously,

"I thought of it myself. I always felt that An An would not disappear out of thin air. The night An An was lost, I saw someone carrying two bags into the house, but later the gatekeeper said that I was dreaming, but I am sure that It’s not a dream, it’s real.”

Xiaobao's words made Yu Qiaoqiao fall into deep thought.

After a while, she said coldly, "You can no longer take care of this matter."

"why?"

Xiaobao suddenly became anxious,

"Mom, you just promised me that you would look for An An with me, why don't you let me take care of it now?"

Yu Qiaoqiao looked at Xiaobao, who was blushing with anxiety, and patiently persuaded him:

"I don't know what your father is thinking, and neither do you. What he wants to do has his own reasons. It's not something you or I can stop. Even if An An is really in Prince Xi's Mansion, you and I are unable to go. Save her, so, listen to mother, don’t worry about this matter, just act like nothing happened, okay?”

"mother……"

"Okay, stop talking, listen to mother, don't worry about this anymore, go back and write, wait a few days for mother to find you a teacher, and you can't go to Prince Yu's Mansion anymore."

"Mom, why don't you keep your words? You just said..."

"Don't say any more."

Yu Qiaoqiao suddenly raised her voice, which scared Xiaobao to the point where he stopped talking and did not dare to speak.

"Let's go back."

Xiaobao lowered his head, pursed his lips, and left here.

Yu Qiaoqiao suddenly patted her chest, feeling frightened for a while.

If Leng Xi really imprisoned An An in Prince Xi's Mansion, he must have wanted to use An An to blackmail Leng Yu. If Xiao Bao was involved and Leng Xi found out, he would beat Xiao Bao to death.

She didn't want her son to be in danger. Maybe she was selfish in doing so, but what could she do?Xiaobao was his only son, and she couldn't put him in danger.

When she thought of this, she stood at the window and looked towards the study room where Leng Xi was.

She also began to wonder, how could Lengxi eat two food boxes?This is indeed very suspicious...

……

An An and Huang Yun have been locked up here for four days. An An is okay. He eats when he has food and sleeps when he is full. He has nothing to worry about except missing home and his mother.

Huang Yun was different. She was counting the days on her fingers, hoping that it would be the eighteenth day of the first lunar month as soon as possible. After that day, everything would be settled.

By then, no matter what the outcome is, they probably won't have to stay here anymore.

In the past few days, the man in black came to deliver meals twice a day. From his few words, Huang Yun had already guessed that he was Leng Xi.

But she didn't reveal it. She was afraid that if she revealed it now, they would be in danger. After all, An An was around and she had to ensure An An's safety.

After eating and drinking, An An came to her side and asked doubtfully:

"Sister Huang, aren't you hungry?"

It turned out that during the past few days of getting along, Huang Yun and An An confessed that she was a woman for the convenience of life. Although An An was surprised, she accepted it calmly.

She is a woman, so it is much more convenient for them to live in this small space.

Huang Yun shook his head lonely,

"I'm not hungry. I haven't been active all day and can't eat."

"Then we have to eat. We don't know how long we have to stay here. We have to maintain our strength. I always feel that one day, my father and my mother will come to save us."

Speaking of Leng Yu and Luo Lan, Huang Yun bit his lower lip hard and whispered to An An:

"Do you think the person who delivers food to us is a bit familiar?"
