Liu Yueru thought that there were secret guards arranged by Xie Jingrui outside, and it was impossible for anyone to sneak in. She thought it was just her illusion and did not say anything more.

"I'm fine. Mom Yan, do you have anything to eat? I'm feeling hungry." Liu Yueru's stomach growled and she started to play the empty city trick.

Mother Yan smiled and hurriedly got up and went outside to give instructions, asking someone to prepare breakfast for Liu Yueru.

Liu Yueru climbed up from her bed, only to see a few strands of hair scattered on the pillow.

Her hands froze in mid-air, her eyes fixed on the slightly sunken pillow, looking a little dazed.

Liu Yueru then realized that last night, when she was unconscious, she felt someone reaching out and holding her in his arms. It turned out that it was not a dream.

Just as she was stunned, there was a loud noise outside, and it sounded like a crowd was gathering to cause trouble.

Liu Yueru frowned slightly and listened carefully, she found that there were many people crying and a man was cursing.

"Mom Yan? What happened?" Liu Yueru asked in confusion.

Mother Yan checked outside and quickly inquired from the people before turning around and going into the room.

He told Liu Yueru the news he had just gotten back, "Madam, I heard that those people outside came to the Liu Mansion to look for their children. I don't know why those parents went to Wu'anfu Temple early in the morning, but the people in the temple said that those children had been taken away by people from the Liu Mansion long before. Those people couldn't find their children, so they started to make a noise at the gate of the Liu Mansion."

Liu Yueru felt something was not right after hearing this, so she said to Mother Yan, "Go and invite the Second Young Master over, and then have someone search the Liu Mansion and collect all the suspicious items first."

Mother Yan didn't dare to delay and walked out quickly after hearing the words.

Liu Zimo quickly came to Liu Yueru's side, and seeing that her complexion had improved, he helped her up.

"Why don't you take a rest for a while?" Liu Zimo asked with concern.

Liu Yueru asked worriedly, "Second brother, has the Liu Mansion bought anything recently, especially toys for children?"

Liu Zimo frowned and thought hard in his mind. Suddenly he thought of something: "I saw a peculiar pendant on the street some time ago. I felt it was very suitable for Hua Ge'er and Yan Ge'er, so I bought two and they are still hanging on them now."

After hearing this, Liu Yueru quickly got off the bed and urged, "Second brother, go get those things and burn them all. Don't let anyone see them."

Liu Zimo nodded and turned to leave.

Mother Yan just came back from outside at this moment: "Mother Yan, help me to dress up and pack."

After tidying up, Liu Yueru came to the front door with the help of Mother Yan.

At this moment, the Liu Mansion was surrounded by people, and more and more people who had left their children in Wanfu Temple gathered in front of the door.

They shouted excitedly: "Give us back our child. Where did you hide our child?"

Liu Zimo had already dealt with the two pendants and rushed over. Seeing the parents who had lost their children, he just felt pity for them.

He raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and asked loudly: "You sent the child to Wanfu Temple. We in the Liu Mansion have never been to Wanfu Temple to pick up children. How could we secretly hide your child in the attached middle school?"

The people also looked at each other, just thinking of the note in their hands, which said that the child was in danger and was in Liu Mansion. If it was too late, the child could not be saved.

No one dared to gamble with the child's life.

The emotions that had been calmed down were instantly aroused again.

Someone in the crowd shouted, "If that's the case, why don't you just let me go into the Liu Mansion and search it? Are you trying so hard to stop us from going in to check? Are you hiding something? Or did something happen to our child in your mansion?"

As that person finished speaking, the crowd's emotions began to rise, and they all shouted, "Yes, I only want the child, give the child back to us."

"Otherwise, we will report it to the police."

"Yes, go now."

Some of the people turned around and ran towards the government office.

Liu Zimo also had the same idea, and he said to the crowd of people standing outside the door: "We have already asked Mr. Xiang from the Dali Temple to come over. You can wait for a while."

The man who had been making a fuss just now spoke again: "Who knows if you are officials protecting each other? Even if you invite people from the government, your Liu Mansion is powerful and will still help you."

"We have to go in and take a look ourselves. As long as we are sure that the child is not in the Liu Mansion, we will definitely not stay any longer. In the future, we will not pin the blame of the child's disappearance on your Liu Mansion."

As the people were talking, they were about to rush into Liu's mansion. The servants who were trying to block the people were knocked to the ground.

Liu Zimo wanted to agree to their request, but Liu Yueru pulled his sleeve and shook his head gently.

Liu Yueru whispered in Liu Zimo's ear, "We can't let them enter the Liu Mansion. At most, we can send people from the Dali Temple to check. Otherwise, the common people will be afraid that someone will interfere and leave things that don't belong to the Liu Mansion in the Liu Mansion. Then we won't be able to explain it clearly."

Liu Yueru had been standing in the corner, quietly watching the scene happening in front of her. She found that there were a few people in the crowd who said a few words from time to time to provoke those people's fear and anxiety.

"The three people that Second Brother is dealing with are a little unusual. We should try to keep them here later. Maybe we can get something out of them."

Liu Zimo silently took note of the people Liu Yueru mentioned, and sent his trusted men to keep an eye on them.

Seeing that the people's behavior was becoming more and more crazy, Liu Fufeng suddenly appeared with armored guards. The guards stood in front of the gate of Liu's mansion and used their tall bodies to block the people's way.

"What a first-rank general! He is just a bastard who only knows how to oppress the people. We just want to find our child, but you send troops to suppress us. This is not giving us a way to survive." The voice of the man who had been instigating things sounded again.

Liu Zimo looked at the other person with his eyes slightly narrowed.

at this time.

Xie Jingrui suddenly appeared in front of everyone with Lord Xiang from the Dali Temple.

He bowed to Liu Zhengtang and said, "We are here to capture the traitors from the Northern Frontier under orders."

Say it.

Xie Jingrui looked around the crowd, arrested the men who had been causing trouble, and said in a somewhat cold voice: "If you have anything to say, just follow us back to the prison and talk."

Several people looked a little flustered. He said to Xie Jingrui, "You are just protecting each other. In order to cover up the crimes of the Liu family, you accuse ordinary people like us of crimes. We don't understand what it means to be traitors to the Northern Frontier. It's just that even if you lock us up, as long as you don't return our children, we will come to ask for them every day. We don't believe that ordinary people like us can't even find a place to report to the authorities."
