The little girl realized something and said, “Aren’t you going to bring us along, Mother?”

The young lady gently explained, “It’s too dangerous at the border, so you and your brother should obediently stay safe here.”

The little boy grabbed his mother’s hand and said, “Neither you nor Father should go since it’s dangerous.”

He was only a few years old but looked so severe that the young lady’s heart melted. “Don’t worry. Your father and I will be okay since you and your sister are safe at home. You’re a boy, so you must protect and care for your sister. Do you understand?”

The little boy nodded and said thoughtfully, “Don’t worry, Mother. I will take care of Roubing.”

The little girl added, “I’ll protect Ruozhu too, Mother.”

The young lady helplessly shook her head and said, “Just don’t be mischievous again you two.”

The little girl said, “I’m not mischievous, Mother.”

“Oh, you aren’t? Do you honestly think I don’t know that you sneak out a lot?”

“Mother, didn’t you arrange for people to protect me secretly? Nothing will happen to us.”

The young lady was surprised. “The people protecting you usually hide in the shadows. How did you find out?”

The little girl said, ‘i l can feel them around me.”

The little boy looked at his sister with widened eyes and said, “You’re so strong, Sister.”

“That’s why I’ll protect you, Brother.”

“I’m a man, so I should be the one protecting you, Sister.”

The little girl said, “I will find someone to cure you, Brother. Then you can run and jump as much as you want.”

The little boy’s body was weak ever since he was born, and although the little girl was just a child, she knew many things.

The young lady held her children’s hands, feeling immensely gratified. “It’s all my fault. I got poisoned, and it affected Ruozhu too.”

The scene changed, and it seemed like a long time had pa.s.sed. The weather had also turned cold.

The little girl was sleeping and suddenly dreamt someone had led her brother to a pond in the backyard and pushed him into the water. The pond was slightly remote, and it was night, so no one else was around.

No matter how much the little boy shouted, no one went to save him. Ultimately, he drowned and died.

The little girl’s dream immediately startled her as she looked at the sky outside and hurriedly got down from her bed. Then she shouted, “Shadow One!”

However, Shadow One was not around, and the little girl’s expression changed. She did not care about anything else, as time was of the essence. She even ran out of the house barefoot, even though it was late autumn and frost had built up at night.

The little girl’s clothes were also thin, and she s.h.i.+vered when the cold wind blew. However, she did not bother about anything else and ran toward the pond. She shouted, “Someone! Quick, help!”

When the little girl arrived at the pond, she saw the footprints and splashes of water on the ground.

“Brother?! Brother!”

The little girl jumped directly into the pond. She could swim, even though she was just a child. She realized her brother had been in the water for a long time, so she forcefully pulled the unconscious little boy out of the pond.

After pulling him out, the little girl started s.h.i.+vering uncontrollably. Many people ran over immediately after. Everyone had heard her screams when she shouted earlier.

The little girl’s teeth even started clattering from the coldness. She looked at her unconscious brother and noticed his face was ashen, so she began performing first aid.

Someone quickly reacted, saying, “Quick, someone call for the physician!”

The little girl finally saved her brother, and the physician finally arrived. She

dared not rest, but the maidservants carried her back to her room and changed her into clean clothes.

She insisted on seeing her brother, but the physician said the little boy was okay and that his condition had stabilized. Only then did the little girl heave a sigh of relief.

However, the little girl fell severely ill that night and only woke up three days later. After waking up, her body became weak, and her brother became weaker.

When the little boy woke up, he supported his weak body and went to see his sister. “Please be okay, Sister.”

He was terrified, but the little girl opened her eyes and smiled to comfort him,

“Don’t be afraid, Brother. I will live on and find the person who harmed you.”

After waking up, the little girl asked Shadow One and the other shadow guard where they were when her sister fell into the pond. Only then did she learn that a highly skillful a.s.sa.s.sin had infiltrated the imperial residence that night.

The a.s.sa.s.sin had lured Shadow One and the other shadow guard away before going for the little boy.

It was also at that moment when the little girl’s expression changed. “We have too few Shadow Guards, so I want to train more members myself. I want to take my revenge.”

The little boy noticed the change in his sister’s eyes and knew she seemed different.

Su Binglan’s dream unfolded. She did not know why, but her mood changed along with the little girl, especially since the little girl i s style of doing things was similar to hers.

She began to think the little girl was Lan Roubing.

‘Was that how everything happened?’ Su Binglan was doubtful. Then the mist spread again, and she continued sleeping.

She remembered the little girl and boy in her dreams when she awoke the following day. Su Binglan thought about the little boy and felt worried, but she did not know why.

She wondered how the little boy was doing and thought, ‘Right, their names are Lan Roubing and Lan Ruozhu. So, were they Princess Lan and King Lan?’

However, she knew Princess Lan had died three years ago, and King Lan was still alive in Dingzhou. For some reason, Su Binglan wanted to visit that place and check it out. It was not until breakfast that she felt absent-minded.

Liu Yinyin carefully noticed Su Binglan’s strange behavior and said, “Did you not sleep well last night, Binglan? You seem distracted. Is something on your mind?”

Su Binglan returned to her senses when she heard her sister-in-law’s voice.

She smiled and shook her head, saying, “I-I’m fine, Sister-in-law.”

After breakfast, she started getting busy and did not have the time to think about meaningless things anymore. After all, Su Binglan had to go to town in the morning to get the doc.u.ments for the new land she bought.

She swiftly arrived at the town because she rode her horse. Moreover, the administrators were polite and quickly settled her paperwork when they saw her. Ultimately, it did not take all morning for Su Binglan to settle her business.

She also noticed the flow of people had increased again when she rode past her dessert shop. Previously, everyone was busy with the autumn harvest, so fewer people went to the dessert shop.

People still went to buy and eat mooncakes, even though the Mooncake

Festival had ended. However, there were not as many people as before the Mooncake Festival.

The haggis soup and sesame buns were still as popular as ever. Su Wenzhe and his wife were already busy when it was almost noon, but the weather was getting colder, so the young couple placed more tables in the shop.

If one wanted to beat the cold, one would eat in the shop, and if one enjoyed eating out, one would eat at the shop.

Su Binglan pa.s.sed by her third uncle’s skewer stall and greeted him and his family.

Su Fengzhi and Liu s.h.i.+ were as busy as ever but still warmly greeted Su Binglan when they saw her, “Quick, come here, Binglan. You can have some freshly barbecued lamb skewers to warm yourself up..”
