Listening to her daughter's heartfelt words, the pregnant Lady Hou went on a killing spree.

"younger sister!"

Lin Tianci was shocked and exclaimed, interrupting Lin Wanwan as she continued to curse.

When Lin Wanwan came to her senses, she realized that the people around her were looking at her strangely, and she hid behind her brother in fear.

Lin Wanyi cursed the idiot in her heart. She had never seen such a stupid person. If you want to curse someone, you have to do it in your heart. What kind of person is it if you say it out loud?

Before even considering what the surrounding people would say, Lin Wanyi sighed.

"Sigh! This child must have been frightened by her father's situation to say such things."

"My sister is right. My sister has been unable to eat or sleep well these past two days because she was really frightened."

My sister cried for a long time today when Father was taken away by the people from the Kyoto government office.

Lin Tianci was much smarter than Lin Wanwan, and he went along with Lin Wanyi's words to make amends for his younger sister.

When they were young, the old lady often took them out to banquets. The Yu family held a high position among merchants in the capital, and most of the merchants' children had to curry favor with them.

Having been exposed to this environment since childhood, even though he was just over five years old, Lin Tianci was no ordinary five-year-old child.

Lin Wanyi was very satisfied with Lin Tianci's understanding of the situation.

"Go, beg your mother to take you to the Yu family and get your things back. The Yu family can't just watch you starve to death."

Lin Wanyi whispered a suggestion to Lin Tianci, whose eyes lit up immediately. He then turned to ask Ji Yueru for help.

"Mother, please come with me and my sister to the Yu family, okay? Let's get our things back."

Without anything to protect us, how are my sister and I going to survive? Waaah…

The people watched as Lin Tianci cried so heartbrokenly. Lin Wanwan stood behind her brother, clutching his clothes, not daring to say a word. She just kept wiping away her tears, looking nothing like the vicious person she had been just moments before.

The people's hearts tipped in favor of the two children again, since most people sympathize with the weak.

Now that Ji Yueru and her daughter are sitting in the carriage, compared to the two pitiful children standing in front of the carriage, their sympathy will naturally lean towards the weaker party.

However, some people in the crowd were clear-headed. Judging from Lin Wanwan's appearance just now, it was clear that this was not the first time she had cursed someone. She was probably used to being arrogant in the mansion.

They thought about it, but they didn't say it out loud. If they did now, someone would definitely stand up and accuse them of not sympathizing with the two children.

"Spring flowers".

Ji Yueru only shouted once, and Chunhua nimbly got off the carriage, came to Lin Wanwan, pulled away Lin Tianci who was blocking her way, and slapped him.

Anyone who dares to insult her daughter is practically asking for death.

"Little sister, how are you?"

Lin Tianci looked at his sister's swollen and red face, and tears streamed down his face again. Lin Wanwan also cried out in pain.

Lin Wanwan's words were too vicious, so Ji Yueru, as her stepmother, had someone teach her a lesson, and none of the onlookers dared to object.

"Since Miss Lin is so kind-hearted, why don't you accompany them to the Yu residence to get their things back?"

As for me, thanks to those two, I'm now seen as a wicked stepmother in the eyes of the Yu family. I doubt they'd even open the door if I went with them.

But Miss Lin, you are different. In the capital, everyone knows you have a kind heart. Everyone praises Miss Lin for your goodness.

I believe it would be most appropriate for Miss Lin to accompany us.

"Yes, Miss Lin, why don't you accompany the two children on this trip? With your reputation in the capital, the Yu family certainly won't refuse."

Some people among the common people echoed Ji Yueru's words, and once one person did, another followed suit, and more and more people echoed her. Lin Wanyi was thus placed on a high pedestal, just waiting for someone to add fuel to the fire.

Ji Yue Ru doesn't mind being that spark.

"What, Miss Lin is unwilling?"

"You weren't just pretending to be kind before, were you? It won't cost you anything to go to the Yu family; why are you unwilling?"

"I didn't say I was unwilling, it's just that I have no connection with them whatsoever, and it wouldn't be right for me to go along."

"It's okay, I'll go with you."

With me, her stepmother, by her side, I believe no one will say anything if they find out.

"Miss Lin, please."

Since Ji Yueru had gone this far, Lin Wanyi felt that if she didn't go, she would lose most of the good reputation she had built up in the capital, so she was naturally unwilling to do so.

"Alright, then I'll go with you."

Lin Wanyi's carriage was parked on the street not far away, and the two women, mistress and servant, turned around and walked towards their own carriage.

Lin Tianci glanced at Ji Yueru's carriage, then at Lin Wanyi who hadn't gone far, and decisively pulled his sister to follow Lin Wanyi.

Lin Wanyi's personal maid noticed that the two children had followed and hurriedly reminded her mistress.

"Miss, the two children from the Marquis of Anshun's residence have caught up."

A flash of disgust crossed Lin Wanyi's eyes.

To protect her reputation, she interacts with children more often in front of outsiders. Because of this, no one knows that what she actually hates most is children.

"Sister Lin, wait for us."

Seeing that the master and servant had boarded the carriage and were about to leave, Lin Tianci quickly pulled his sister to follow.

Even if Lin Wanyi was unhappy, she could only wait.

The carriage was too high for the brother and sister to climb into, so the coachman had to help them lift them onto the carriage.

The brother and sister entered the carriage, and Lin Tianci hurriedly thanked Lin Wanyi.

"Sister Lin, you are so kind. My sister and I don't know what we would have done without you."

"Alright, you guys think about what to say when you get to the Yu family later, and how to get your things in return."

Lin Wanyi gave a brief explanation, then leaned against the car wall, closed her eyes to rest, and didn't want to say another word.

Upon seeing her appearance, Lin Tianci and Lin Wanwan naturally shut their mouths and sat properly in the carriage.

Hearing that the group was going to the Yu residence, the common people, who hadn't had enough of the excitement, naturally followed behind.

Fortunately, carriages don't travel very fast on the streets of the capital. By the time the two carriages arrived in front of the Yu residence, a large number of onlookers had already gathered behind them.

Ji Yueru had already sent a message to the Yu family, and the Yu family was prepared.

The weather was warm during the day, and Ji Yueru got off the carriage carrying the child.

Mo Wen brought a chair from somewhere and placed it to the side. Ji Yueru sat down with her child in her arms, while Chunhua took an umbrella and held it over their heads to shield the mother and daughter from the sun.

Look at the treatment the mother and daughter received, and then look at Lin Tianci and Lin Wanwan, who got off Lin Wanyi's carriage with their clothes hanging loosely on their bodies. Many people pointed and whispered about the mother and daughter.

However, neither of them cared at all. In her previous life, Ji Yueru was criticized by the people quite a bit, so it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that her heart was as strong as an impenetrable wall.

Lin Wanyi gestured with her eyes, and Lin Tianci stepped forward, holding his sister's hand tightly.

The gatekeeper of the Yu residence had already been instructed to stop the two men.

"Please leave, both of you. The old lady has instructed that she will not see you if you come to visit again."

Lin Wanwan's hand was squeezed by her brother, and her tears fell even more heavily as she shouted towards the mansion.

"Grandma, it's me, Wanwan. I'm your most beloved Wanwan. Please have pity on me! Waaah..."

Some of the people who had followed her from the street earlier couldn't help but speak up for her when they saw Lin Wanwan crying so hard.

"The Yu family's actions are really unethical. How can they take back something they gave to a child? This is simply not something a human being would do."

The Yu family should come out and say something; returning the items to the child is the right thing to do.
