Through the touch of his clothes, Yan Changqing's arms felt as hard as iron, and their muscles did not seem like those of a human.

Qin Yaoguang complained in her heart, then held onto his arm and used the force to jump off the carriage.

Normal normal.

She thought to herself: As a normal woman in the prime of life, it is normal for me to have an instinctive reaction when facing a particularly handsome guy.

It's just the chemical reaction between men and women.

Doesn't mean anything.

If she was completely calm, she should think about whether there was something wrong with her.

"The kids are upstairs."

Yan Changqing said this and led her upstairs.

This is an older restaurant, and everything from the signboard to the tables and chairs inside bears the marks of time.

As I walked upstairs, the stairs creaked.

It's not dinner time, so there's not many people inside.

Qin Yaoguang and others were a big business for the shopkeeper, so he treated them with extra hospitality.

Although they were wearing civilian clothes, the shopkeepers could tell at a glance that these people were different from ordinary people.

"Madam, please come in," the shopkeeper said with a smile on his face, complimenting her in different ways: "Madam, you are so lucky. All the young masters in your mansion look like they came out of a painting, and your husband is even more considerate..."

Qin Yaoguang didn't feel much about his words, but Yan Changqing felt both comforted and bitter.

Qin Yaoguang stretched out his right hand, stopped his enthusiasm, and ordered: "Get two basins of hot water."

The shopkeeper then stopped talking.

As soon as she emerged from the stairs, the third child left the table and trotted over to her: "Mother, slow down and be careful with your steps."

The floor of the second floor was uneven, and several pieces were damaged by insects and had to be repaired.

The third child was worried that his mother would not be used to it.

Even though Qin Yaoguang was not the eldest princess who grew up in a pampered life, his actions made her feel warm.

Who said the third brother is paranoid?

He is obviously a super considerate and good boy! A warm-hearted man with a delicate and sensitive mind!

From now on, she will get angry with anyone who dares to say anything bad about her third child.

"Mother."

Yan Shouzhuo and the second brother stepped forward and greeted him politely.

“Outside, keep it simple.”

Several people sat down in order of importance, and the shopkeeper brought up two basins of hot water for them to wash their hands and faces.

After casually ordering two pots of tea and some snacks such as pork jerky, braised tofu, air-dried chicken and duck, and salt-boiled peanuts, Qin Yaoguang asked Qingbai to send the waiter and others away, and Yan Changqing sent a personal guard to guard the stairs.

They were the only table of people upstairs, so as long as they kept their voices down, they wouldn't be afraid of being heard.

Yan Changqing said: "If we go further to the south city, I'm afraid something unexpected will happen, so I'll call you all back."

As the saying goes, cats have their ways, and mice have their ways.

So what if they are royal relatives, ministers and nobles?

These identities would only be obstacles in the south of the city.

Qin Yaoguang did not mention the specific details of the dream, but only said that she did not find any clues in the West Market. When she heard Qingbai mention the Ghost Market, she wanted to go and check it out.

"If Fifth Brother went out and encountered a human trafficker, I think he might be here."

Yan Changqing nodded slightly: "That makes sense."

"However, Madam, please do not go there in person. I will send someone to investigate."

He had been operating for several years, and in Beijing he not only had pawns in the homes of high-ranking officials, but also in all walks of life.

Speaking of the ghost market, Yan Changqing is more familiar with it than Qin Yaoguang.

Qin Yaoguang said: "Let Qingbai go together."

Only then did Qing Bai know the specific details she had mentioned.

"it is good."

Yan Changqing agreed and gave instructions to the guards who followed him.

Not long after, a tall and thin man with a scar on the right side of his cheek came up the stairs and bowed to Yan Changqing with an excited look on his face.

He belongs to Yan Changqing.

Qin Yaoguang didn't ask any more questions. He just listened to Yan Changqing's conversation with him for a few words, and then Qingbai left with that man.

"Wait a moment."

Knowing that they were all worried about Lao Wu, Yan Changqing comforted him.

However, it is not so easy to go deep into the ghost market.

If you just walk past it carelessly, you will get nothing.

Qin Yaoguang understood the logic, so he calmed down and waited, chatting with the children and eating the snacks brought by the store.

Surprisingly, these seemingly inconspicuous snacks taste very delicious.

Yan Shouzhuo sat there with his body tense, looking outside all the time.

Qin Yaoguang pushed the plate of boiled peanuts in front of him and said gently, "It tastes good, try it."

Although he had no appetite, he would not refuse since it was his mother's request.

Yan Shouzhuo mechanically peeled the peanut shells and mechanically put the peanuts into his mouth, but the taste was like chewing wax.

The third brother glanced at him and quickly replaced the boiled peanuts in front of him with braised tofu.

Yan Shouzhuo reflexively picked up a piece of dried tofu cut into rectangular pieces and peeled it with both hands as if he were peeling peanuts.

After peeling it for a long time, there was no crack at all. Then I felt something was wrong, so I looked down.

He looked stunned and confused, as if he was wondering why the peanuts in his hand turned into dried tofu?

The third brother rested his elbows on the table, and when he saw his expression, he quickly covered his mouth with the back of his hand to prevent himself from laughing out loud.

A mischievous smile became a flicker of light in his eyes.

The second brother gave the third brother a warning look.

It’s already this time, and you’re still teasing your brother?

The third brother quickly straightened his expression, sat up straight, picked up a piece of pork jerky with chopsticks, put it in his mouth and chewed it slowly.

Qin Yaoguang took in the interaction between the three people and said in a gentle voice, "We are all waiting anyway. There is nothing we can do right now. There is no need to be so serious."

They are all children, how can we expect them to act like adults all the time?

With her words, the third brother felt more confident. He raised his face proudly and raised his eyebrows at the second brother, showing his pride.

He was really handsome, and this originally unintentional action, when performed by him, had a kind of elegant and refined flavor.

Qin Yaoguang was secretly shocked by what she saw, and wondered how many young girls' hearts would fall into the hands of the third brother in the future?

Yan Changqing is not a talkative person.

He just felt that the scene of a family sitting together and working towards a common goal was very powerful.

Just like in the army, before every battle, he would call together his staff, advisors and generals to discuss how to deal with the enemy.

As long as everyone is united, there is nothing that cannot be accomplished.

As time passed and the sun got closer to the top, more and more customers came into the restaurant.

Yan Changqing ordered his guards to clear the stairs.

I can't let the store fail to do business because of me.

After lunch, the second floor returned to peace again, and Qing Bai and Yan Changqing's personal guards returned.

"how?"

Qin Yaoguang looked at her and asked anxiously.

It's not that she isn't anxious, she just doesn't want to show it and make the children worry.

Qing Bai nodded slightly at her and reported what she had seen and heard.
