Ming Jin walked all the way to the back door of Chaotian Palace.

Jing'er Hutong is just in the direction of the back door of Chaotian Palace. People of the lowest class live here, with some restaurants and not-so-good inns occasionally.

In stark contrast to the broad avenue at the main entrance of Chaotian Palace, the alleys near Jinger Hutong are both dilapidated and narrow.

Broken bluestone slabs can be seen everywhere.

Fortunately, it didn't rain today, otherwise, this step would probably splash up a lot of mud.

Even though he had already noticed that the girl was acting strange, he hinted to himself not to ask any more questions.

But when he came to such a place and saw the girl walking forward, Chunyu couldn't help but wonder, "Girl, are you looking for someone?"

When Ming Jin heard this, he was silent for a moment.

She didn't speak immediately, but lowered her eyes to look at Chunyu beside her.

Chunyu's heart tightened again when she was looked at like this. Without waiting for Mingjin to say anything, she lowered her head and spoke in fear and trepidation: "It's okay if you don't want to say it. I won't ask."

But at this moment, a familiar female voice came from my ear——

"I'm looking for someone."

Chunyu was surprised. She didn't expect the girl to actually answer her question. Her previous panic faded away. She couldn't help but look up at the girl again and asked, "Who are you looking for?"

Some things are naturally hard to say.

But whether it is spring rain or Huasui, a reasonable reason is needed.

Ming Jin then took out the excuse he had prepared long ago and said, "A friend of an old friend, who had helped me before, said that she had a sister working in Jing'er Hutong and asked me to help look after her when I return to the capital."

This is not completely misleading.

When Hua Sui was in his hometown, he did have a good sister with whom he got along well. She was also the only person in his hometown who knew where Hua Sui was. However, this girl's fate was as tragic as Hua Sui's.

She was also sold to someone else by her family.

The man was not a local. He said he wanted to marry her, but in fact he already had quite a few wives and concubines at home. He took the girl away from Shandong and never returned.

In her previous life, after Hua Sui came to her side, he was concerned about the safety of this good sister.

After becoming the Fourth Prince's consort, Ming Jin also looked for her, but the answer she got was that the woman was sold to someone else by the man shortly after she left Shandong, and her body had long since disappeared.

Even in this life, she is already dead.

Mingjin knew it was not a good idea to use such a name, but apart from this name, she didn't know who else to use.

No matter what, let’s find Hua Sui first.

After Mingjin finished talking to Chunyu, he looked away.

Chunyu got the answer and resolved her doubts, so she didn't ask any more questions. Instead, she took the initiative to ask Mingjin: "Do you know where that girl is? I'll ask someone to go and ask."

Mingjin naturally knew it.

But it is not clear whether Hua Sui is working in that restaurant now. She has worked in many jobs in Jinger Hutong.

"It is said that it is somewhere in spring, but I am not sure. Let's look around first." Ming Jin said.

Chunyu expressed his understanding and didn't ask any more questions.

That great spring scene is easy to find.

There weren't many restaurants in Jing'er Hutong, and the two found this one after walking for a while. It wasn't time for dinner, so there weren't many people in the restaurant. There was only a woman using an abacus behind the counter, and a waiter wiping the table with a towel.

Out of the corner of my eye I saw two people walking outside.

The waiter immediately came over and asked: "What would you like to eat, sir?" As he spoke, his eyes fell on the visitor.

Although one of them was wearing a veil, her attire alone made her look out of place here, and she looked more like a rich lady who had strayed into this place by mistake.

The waiter was stunned for a moment.

Especially when he saw the woman in green frowning and looking inside with disdain, he just thought she had met an important person from somewhere, and he didn't dare to act rashly for a moment.

It was the lady boss behind the counter who heard the noise and looked over.

Although she was surprised by their attire, she still greeted them with a smile, adhering to the principle of opening a business and treating guests as guests. "What would you two like to eat? Our dishes are excellent, especially the beef noodles. The beef and broth in it are so delicious that I am not bragging..."

She talked incessantly.

When Mingjin saw her, his heart sank.

At that time, Hua Sui's customer was a male shopkeeper, a widower without a wife, and the woman in front of him was obviously the shopkeeper of this store.

It seems that this store has changed hands later.

Then according to the time, Hua Sui should not have arrived yet.

Although her heart had sunk, Ming Jin still didn't want to give up any hope. She interrupted the woman and asked, "Boss, I want to ask you something."

The female shopkeeper looked at Mingjin.

Although she was wearing a veil, her appearance and demeanor still made the shopkeeper politely reply, "Please go ahead."

"Have you ever hired female workers?" Ming Jin asked her.

The female shopkeeper was stunned.

She never expected this to be the question, so she replied subconsciously, "Yes."

Almost as soon as she finished speaking, she felt the woman in front of her suddenly take a step closer to her. Her face was hidden behind the veil and could not be seen clearly, but the woman could still feel the excitement of the girl in front of her.

I was wondering what she was so excited about.

Just at this moment, an old woman came in from outside, and the female shopkeeper called out, "Grandma Xi, come here."

The old woman didn't know what was going on, but she still came over with the basket of vegetables.

After the female shopkeeper and others came over, they looked at Mingjin and said, "This is the female worker in our store. What do you want to see her for?"

Ming Jin looked at the reserved old woman in front of her, and her joy faded away. She was unwilling to accept this, and couldn't help asking, "Is this the only one?"

The female shopkeeper laughed and said, "Sir, we are just a small shop. I can't afford to have too many people."

Although Ming Jin had guessed it a long time ago, he still couldn't help but choke up when he heard this: "...Thank you."

She nodded to the female shopkeeper, then turned around and left.

Chunyu hurried to follow.

Chunyu could sense the girl's dejection at the moment. It was the first time that he saw the girl so distraught. He was even more curious about what kind of kindness that man had done to the girl that made her become like this.

"Don't worry, let's look for it. As long as the person is here, we will always find him." Chunyu persuaded.

As she spoke, she thought of the name the girl had mentioned before, and took the initiative to step forward and ask the vendors on both sides.

But the vendors just shook their heads.

Ming Jin looked at Chun Yu running around, and her originally depressed mood became much better. She called out, "Chun Yu."

Chunyu was originally asking people, but when he heard the voice, he immediately turned around.

In the hot summer, she was sweating profusely. Without even wiping her sweat off, she immediately ran over and asked, "Girl, what's wrong?"

Ming Jin didn't say anything, just looked at the sweat on her forehead and said, "Wipe it first."

The spring rain let out a gentle sound.

When he came to his senses, he immediately took out a handkerchief and wiped his forehead.

"Let's go, let's go back first." Ming Jin and others suddenly said after wiping the sweat off their face.

Chunyu was stunned for a moment.

When she realized what was happening, she saw the girl had already started walking back the way she came. She quickly followed her and asked as she walked, "Aren't you looking for it anymore?"

"Maybe it's not the right time yet." Ming Jin whispered.

She guessed that Hua Sui might be using a pseudonym now.

After all, she escaped, so it was impossible for her to use her own name openly.

Although Jing'er Hutong is not big, it is not small either. All kinds of people live there, and we don't even know their names. Looking for them here would be like looking for a needle in a haystack.

I'd better go back first, draw a portrait, and then ask someone to look for it slowly.

She has been asking people to look for it here, and they will eventually find it. If this still doesn't work, then she will wait for half a year, until they met in their previous life.

No matter what, she will definitely protect Hua Sui in this life.

I won't let her be bullied anymore.

Mingjin had regained her spirits and was no longer feeling lost. She saw Chunyu beside her still looking at her with a worried look on her face.

She smiled at the maid for the first time and said, "Don't worry, we will find it eventually."

Chunyu breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that her tone had returned to normal, and she also started laughing.

There are actually quite a few vendors on both sides.

It was rare for Chunyu to come out. Mingjin saw her looking at the vendors on both sides from time to time, especially when she saw those eating, her eyes lit up.

It's almost time for lunch.

Seeing her like this, Ming Jin was just about to suggest finding a place to eat something when he heard a cry for help from the alley ahead.

The vendors on both sides are no longer surprised by this.

He didn't even look at the noise when he heard it, and continued to shout and hawk.

But when Mingjin heard the familiar female voice, her heart was shocked. Before her brain could react, she had already strode towards the direction where the voice came from.

"girl?"

Chunyu was stunned for a moment.

When she saw the girl suddenly running forward, her face changed slightly and she hurriedly ran forward.

Mingjin ran into an alley.

She saw a young girl in old clothes being held by two servants with round waists and strong arms in the alley.

The girl's clothes and hair were messy, revealing her fair skin below her shoulders.

But she was still struggling hard. When her hands were grabbed, she kicked and bit them with her mouth.

"This bitch!"

The servant was kicked a few times accidentally and was so angry that he wanted to hit someone.

But as soon as he raised his hand, the servant next to him immediately stopped him and said, "You are crazy. The young master has chosen someone, but he hasn't enjoyed her yet. If there are any scars on her face, I will see how the young master will deal with you."

The servant was dissuaded, but he was unwilling to give in. He muttered, "This bitch has a very fierce temper."

"What are you afraid of?"

Another servant laughed and said, "After we inject the drug, even the most fierce woman will become coquettish. When the young master has had enough, we brothers will enjoy ourselves. At that time, you can do whatever you want to her."

"Even if you whip them, no one will say anything."

The servant laughed after listening to the dirty talk between men, and his eyes towards the woman next to him became more and more lustful.

When the woman trapped by them heard this, her heart grew heavier.

She thought about her experiences in the past few years and everything she would face in the future, and suddenly she felt hopeless.

It turns out that it is so difficult for a person to live well...

She saw the wall next to her.

It's okay to die.

If you die, there won't be so many bad things.

Just as she was trying to struggle free from them and ram her way into the wall, another voice suddenly came from the alley.

"Let her go."

The voice was sharp and filled with undisguised anger, but to Hua Sui, it was like the sound of nature coming down from the heavens.

She couldn't help but look up.

The messy hair in front of her eyes covered her eyes, but she could still see the person clearly through the few strands of black hair.

A woman in a rose-colored blouse with gold weave.

Even though he couldn't see her face, Hua Sui knew there was a world of difference between her and her.
