Su Qian paused for a moment, her steps forward involuntarily halted upon hearing this question. Then, she pretended to be fine and continued walking. “I just have something to take care of. 1 need these herbs…”

Xiao Yan saw that Su Qian wanted to say something but hesitated, so he immediately understood what she meant. “It’s okay if you don’t want to talk about it. When you’re willing to tell me, I’ll listen to you at any time.”

Xiao Yan’s words stirred a strange feeling in Su Qian’s heart. She felt a little guilty as if she had done something unforgivable behind his back.

Su Qian didn’t reply to Xiao Yan and continued to push him forward absentmindedly. She was completely unaware that Dong Yan, who had just left, had quietly returned to the group of hidden guards behind them. From beginning to end, he didn’t attract anyone’s attention.

It was late at night, the busiest time of the gathering.

Nobles and dignitaries gathered on the street, and two children were extremely eye-catching.

“Brother, do you think this hairpin looks good?” Su Qingqing stood in front of a stall that sold all kinds of jewelry. She held a pink hairpin in her hand and put it on her head. She turned her head and asked Su Ye happily.

“It looks good…” Su Ye was holding a fat gray rabbit in his arms. When he saw that Su Qingqing wanted to try on other accessories, he quickly grabbed her hand. “Qingqing, it’s getting late. If we delay any longer, Mother will be home soon. We should go.”

“But, but I haven’t chosen a gift for Grandmother and the others yet.” Su Qingqing looked at the beautiful jewelry reluctantly. She felt that if they bought some to bring back to the Nangong family, their Grandmother and the others would definitely like it.

“Little fool, have you forgotten that we sneaked out today? If we buy something and go back, won’t it reveal to Mother that we ran away? Put it down quickly. We’re going back quickly.” As Su Ye spoke, he stuffed the gray rabbit into Su Qingqing’s arms. “Don’t forget, if we go back late, Mother will definitely blame Gray Fatty.”

Su Ye was still worried that their mother would return home before them. If that happened, the matter of them stealing the token of the Feng Lin Auction House to the underground city would be exposed, and they would be in even more trouble. If that happened, his mother would definitely spank their butts!

Gray Fatty’s beautiful bunny eyes were filled with fear. It snuggled into Su Qingqing’s arms and said, “Young Master, 1 don’t want to end up as rabbit hotpot!”

“Alright then, let’s go back.” Su Qingqing kissed Gray Fatty’s head tenderly. Su Qingqing and Su Ye held hands and were about to leave when a young girl’s cry came from behind them.

“Mother, look at that rabbit. It’s so big and beautiful!”

Upon hearing the praise, Gray Fatty immediately became proud. But then it heard the young girl’s next words.

“Mother, quickly snatch that rabbit over. I want to peel off its fur to make a scarf!”

Gray Fatty was instantly terrified. It buried its head into Su Qingqing’s arms and started trembling.

What kind of situation was this? Why are young girls nowadays so cruel?

“Qingqing, let’s go.” Su Ye and Su Qingqing wanted to leave, but several servant-like people quickly approached and raised their hands, blocking the siblings’ path.

“Please wait for a moment. Our Young Miss has something to discuss with you.” The attendant’s attitude was unyielding. He lowered his head and glanced at the siblings, not taking the two children seriously at all.

Su Ye saw that these attendants all wore badges with the word ‘Ximen’ on their chests and guessed their identities..
