Pei Yi smiled nervously, "I don't know either. I don't remember anything. But even if I knew, I would probably be the daughter of an ordinary family, or a criminal slave."

She sounded a little sad as she spoke, Guiyuan smiled awkwardly and offered her some candy, "Don't be sad, sister, I didn't mean it."

Pei Yi said it was okay, she was alive and well without any missing limbs, she was lucky and she was already very satisfied.

The two of them laughed and joked for a while. Pei Yi glanced at the hourglass and said casually, "I wonder if the rice candy seller will come today. After eating it last time, the taste is really unforgettable."

Guiyuan thought for a moment and said, "It's been two or three days. Why don't we go to the back door and take a look?"

Pei Yi was thinking the same thing, so he followed her. When they reached the back door, they happened to hear the sound of hawking.

Guiyuan couldn't wait to rush out and grab four or five bags of rice candy. She didn't dare to stay, for fear that someone else would come and snatch it from her.

So he hurried back and hid the rice candy first.

Seeing her like this, Pei Yi bought a few more bags and asked her to take them back.

Guiyuan didn't think much about it, he took the candy and went back happily.

As soon as she left, many maids came out of the mansion.

Pei Shuo's rice candies were all sold out, and most of the people waiting had left. Pei Yi pointed to the right side of the alley. Pei Shuo nodded and went over there with his load on his shoulder.

Pei Yi turned around and walked to the side door and gave the gatekeeper a bag of rice candy.

"Mom, I want to go to the street to buy some silk thread. I will be back in half an hour at most. Can you please hold the door open for me?"

The gatekeeper received her rice candy and said with a smile, "Go ahead, young lady. I'll hold the door open for you."

Pei Yi thanked her and walked away.

When they reached a secluded alley, Pei Yi ran over excitedly and saw Pei Shuo waiting there. She was so excited that she said, "Let me see, how come you have lost so much weight? You must have suffered a lot. Your legs...are your legs completely healed?"

Pei Yi still remembered that when they came to search his house that day, those people broke his brother's legs.

Pei Yi was very scared at that time that his brother's leg might become lame.

Later, those who wanted to sell her said that her brother's legs had been lame for a long time and there was no way to save him. Their national martial arts would never be able to turn things around.

Pei Yi was very anxious at that time and would never believe the traffickers' lies. But now that she saw her brother's leg was intact, she was extremely happy.

Pei Shuo paused, "I was originally lame, but I met my master, who spent a lot of money to heal my leg. Now I am not only healthy, but I also learned Kung Fu from him."

Pei Yi was surprised: "What's going on?"

Pei Shuo then told in a few words how Xu Yao saved him.

But he did not tell her what insults he had suffered and what hardships he had endured.

However, from these few words, Pei Yi could still feel his difficulties.

It was already hard enough for a woman like me to be trafficked here and there. How could Pei Shuo be safe when he was exiled to the border?

She couldn't help wiping away her tears: "You have suffered."

"What's the big deal if a man like me suffers a little? But sister, if my mother knew that you have become someone else's slave, she would be very sad. But sister, don't worry. I will bring money to redeem you tomorrow and take you away from here."

Pei Yi shook his head nervously when he heard this: "Don't act rashly. I am relatively safe now. The people in Pingxi Marquis' Mansion are kind to everyone, and Princess Yanghe has not treated me harshly. We will leave slowly. If people find out our identities, it will not be a good thing. It is better for me to stay in Pingxi Marquis' Mansion for the time being. Didn't you say that you have news about my father? Where is my father?"

Speaking of this, Pei Shuo felt a little depressed.

That day they heard from Wang Muzhi that their father was Beichen brought here by the Queen Mother, so they wanted to go to the palace to check the situation.

However, the second best master in the world was so powerful that even Xu Yao was not sure he could escape unscathed.

They had no choice but to endure temporarily and quietly inquire about the news.

During this period, through Zhuang Mu's network of relationships, they found out that the Iron Guard had a secret prison that specifically held some very important prisoners.

But they haven't found out where this place is.

Xu Yao was still trying to get information, and since the Queen Mother had brought his father here, she would definitely not want his life.

Pei Yi was still worried: "It's easy to save a person's life, but it's even easier to make him live a life worse than death."

Dad may be safe, but being alive doesn't mean he is living well.

Pei Yi also couldn't understand why the Queen Mother went to so much trouble to bring his father to Beichen.

Logically speaking, people in Beichen should hate their father to the core.

Pei Shuo couldn't figure it out either. The brother and sister had their own thoughts.

Pei Yi advised him to go back first, saying that she was temporarily safe in the Pingxi Marquis Mansion.

Pei Shuo, however, felt that it was not a long-term solution for his sister to continue like this, so he decided to find a way to get his sister a new identity and try his best to redeem her.

Pei Yi was a little worried when she saw how persistent he was. "Can that Xu Xuyao ​​really be trusted?"

She used to be Yuan Qingzong's subordinate, why did she help her own brother?

Besides, she seemed quite capable, so there was really no need for her to get involved in other people's troubles.

It’s no wonder Pei Yi was suspicious. She was really scared of being plotted against along the way.

Pei Shuo nodded, "Sister, I was living a life worse than death at that time. I had nothing. What could she want from me? I owe her a lot. I took her as my master, and she spent a lot of money to treat my leg and taught me kung fu. To me, she is not only a master, but also a lifesaver. If there is anyone in this world who I can trust unconditionally, besides you and father, it is only her."

Seeing that he trusted Xu Yao so much, Pei Yi also chose to trust Xu Yao.

"If I have the chance, I will definitely thank her in person."

Since my brother said so, this person must be very trustworthy.

She felt that Pei Shuo was right. At that time, the Pei family had already lost everything. What could anyone plot against them? It was just her own petty mind.

Pei Yi knew that it was not advisable to stay here for long, so she gave a few more instructions and left in a hurry.

Not far away, Liang Hongwen was sitting in a carriage. Through the window, he saw Pei Yi coming out of the alley. After a while, a peddler also came out of the alley.

It was a dead end alley, with no other way out. What were a man and a woman talking about? What were they doing?

Liang Hongwen narrowed his eyes, and Ah Ping also saw it, and said, "That's the peddler that Sister Ziyi talked to last time."

Liang Hongwen's eyes became even colder when he heard this.

Zi Yi came out from there, her eyes were red, obviously she had been crying. The peddler's eyes were also red, the two met and cried together, which showed that they had a close relationship. What was their relationship, were they a pair of lovers?

Liang Hongwen became displeased when he thought of this possibility.

"Follow the peddler and see where he goes."
