The prince dotes on his wife: a reborn peasant woman is not easy to mess with

Xia Yechen and Zhou Xiaoyuan looked at each other. They knew that this child must know something. So Xia Yechen decided to interrogate the child, hoping to get some clues from him.

"Then do you know where the people in the village have gone?" Xia Yechen asked.

"I don't know." The child shook his head, "I just kept hiding here, they didn't tell me."

Xia Yechen nodded. He felt that this child didn't know much. But they decided to take him back to give him more clues.

Xia Yechen looked at the frightened child and couldn't help but feel doubtful.

He knew that this child must know something, maybe some key clues, but Zhou Xiaoyuan did not agree with his idea.

"Husband, I don't think we can get anything out of this child now." Zhou Xiaoyuan said, "His mood is very unstable right now. He won't tell us anything we ask him."

Xia Yechen sighed, he knew what Zhou Xiaoyuan said was right. This child was too frightened. What he needs now is some comfort and care, rather than being forced to question.

"Then we have to wait a little longer." Xia Yechen said, "We will ask him again when his mood stabilizes."

Zhou Xiaoyuan nodded. She felt that Xia Yechen's decision was a wise one. She looked at the child and felt a little distressed.

This child is innocent, he was involved in this conspiracy, and what he needs now is their help and care.

During the few days of waiting, Zhou Xiaoyuan stayed with the child. Like a mother, she brought him food and drinks,

Soothe his mood.

The child gradually developed some trust and dependence on her, and became willing to communicate with her.

"What's your name?" Zhou Xiaoyuan asked gently.

"I...I don't have a name." The child replied.

"Then let me give you a name." Zhou Xiaoyuan thought for a while, "You can call me Little Mute from now on."

The child nodded and said nothing. He knew his current situation and that he might never be able to speak again.

But Zhou Xiaoyuan did not give up on him, but treated him as her own child.

Under Zhou Xiaoyuan's careful care, the child gradually came out of his fear.

He began to be willing to communicate with other people. Although he could not speak, his sign language was very fluent.

When others saw his condition, they nicknamed him "Little Mute." But Zhou Xiaoyuan didn't call him that. She always treated him as her own child.

As time went by, the child slowly let down his guard.

He began to be willing to play with Nini. Nini is a very sensible and obedient child who often takes him to play everywhere.

With his company, "Little Mute" slowly opened up his heart and communicated with others more smoothly.

One night, there was a thief in the house. Bursts of noise and chaotic footsteps woke Zhou Xiaoyuan from her dream. She sat up suddenly, feeling uneasy in her heart.

"Don't worry, I will send someone to find you." Xia Yechen comforted.

Zhou Xiaoyuan forced out a smile and nodded. She knew that Xia Yechen was right, but she still felt

Feeling uneasy. She was worried about the child and wondered where he had gone.

"You should rest first. I will send people to continue searching." Xia Yechen helped Zhou Xiaoyuan lie down and patted her back gently.

Zhou Xiaoyuan sighed and closed her eyes. But the uneasiness in her heart lingered. She knew that this child was very important to the entire case.

If the other party is really coming for the child, then the child may be in danger.

Seeing that Zhou Xiaoyuan was a little agitated, Xia Yechen arranged for a few maids to come over and take care of her so that she could relax as much as possible. And he himself took people out to search for the missing child.

Nothing in the house was missing, only the child was missing. Xia Yechen thought about it carefully and felt more and more suspicious about this matter.

How could a child disappear silently?

"Have you noticed anything unusual?" Xia Yechen asked the guards around him.

The guards shook their heads, saying that they found nothing unusual.

"Does that child have any special marks or characteristics?" Xia Yechen asked again.

The guards recalled for a moment, and suddenly remembered that the child had a special mark on him.

When Xia Yechen heard this, he was suddenly shocked. He asked the guards to quickly record the characteristics of the mark, and then sent people out to look for clues to the mark.

After Zhou Xiaoyuan heard the news, she didn't care about rest and rushed to Xia Yechen's side immediately.

After she heard that the child had a special mark, she asked Xia Yechen to tell her the characteristics of the mark. After hearing this, Zhou Xiaoyuan frowned, seeming to be thinking about something.

"Have you noticed that this mark has any special meaning?" Zhou Xiaoyuan asked.

The guards shook their heads, indicating that they did not find any special meaning.

Zhou Xiaoyuan thought for a moment and had an idea in her mind. She asked Xia Yechen to send some people to investigate the source of the mark and see if they could find any clues.

Xia Yechen immediately arranged for people to investigate the source of the mark, and at the same time sent people out to look for other clues.

Everyone in the mansion was busy looking for the missing child.

After King Jing learned about this, he rushed over immediately, with an expression of gloating and adding insult to injury.

"I would like to see how you, Xia Yechen, solve this problem!" Prince Jing sneered.

Xia Yechen sneered in his heart, but his face remained calm.

"Your Highness Prince Jing, it is too early to draw conclusions now." Xia Yechen said, "The most important thing now is to find the child."

Prince Jing's expression changed, "Is that child that important?"

"This matter is of great importance. Please don't interrupt, His Highness Prince Jing." Xia Yechen said.

Prince Jing snorted and turned to leave. At this time, the emperor also knew about this and summoned Xia Yechen to the palace.

Xia Yechen came to the palace and faced the emperor's questions, and he responded calmly.

"Your Majesty, I will find out the truth about this matter as soon as possible." Xia Yechen said.

"What are you going to do?" asked the emperor.

"Intensify the search efforts and look for the child throughout the city." Xia Yechen said.

The emperor nodded, "In that case, I will wait for your good news."

Xia Yechen left the palace and secretly vowed to find the child as soon as possible. He knew very well that this little

Children are the key to unlocking all this.

After Zhou Xiaoyuan learned that her child was missing, she was extremely anxious. She asked Nini not to go to school and wait for the news at home.
