When I was fleeing famine with supplies, I was caught by a rough man and gave birth to three childre

Lin Zao searched again without giving up. She even opened the broken wooden bed beside the wall and searched it, but still found nothing.

Lin Zao's heart skipped a beat. What she was most worried about appeared.

Maybe the crystal core was swept away by Mrs. Tang as a useless stone and she didn't even remember it.

Lin Zao thought for a while, and it seemed that all the garbage that their family usually swept was dumped in the corner of the yard.

So Lin Zao came to the yard with a glimmer of hope, walked to the place where the garbage was dumped, and rummaged through it carefully. He even rummaged through the entire yard and the three mud houses.

Still nothing.

Lin Zao's face turned cold, and he took out a tool suitable for digging soil from the space, intending to dig three feet into the ground to find it again.

It's not impossible to bury it in the soil.

Lin Zao spent the next day digging soil in the yard.

Unfortunately, she still found nothing. She checked almost all the stones she found, but none of them were found.

Lin Zao felt cold in his heart, maybe the crystal core was left out.

She planned to search again in the village at dawn tomorrow. If she still couldn't find it, the worst outcome would be that she would be taken away.

The next day, Lin Zao searched every corner of the village, but still found nothing.

Lin Zao returned to the Tang family's yard in disappointment, took one last look at the Tang family's house, and finally sighed, hoping that no one would recognize the thing.

After untying the horse from the side, it was time to leave.

Lin Zao, who turned around with the horse, missed the ray of light reflected in the dry well.

Lin Zao, who returned to Luolin Mansion again, headed towards the prefect's house without stopping.

Lin Zao directly explained his identity and purpose. The guard at the gate of the prefecture went in for a while, then came out and took Lin Zao inside.

Until I met the prefect's housekeeper again.

"Master Butler, Wang is late, I hope you can bear with me and give me a nice word to the prefect."

"You're welcome, Mr. Wang. It's too late for us adults to be happy that you can come. I have already arranged your accommodation for you and am waiting for you to come over."

The housekeeper still had a smile on his face, and he was neither cold nor enthusiastic when he spoke to Lin Zao. He looked businesslike.

Lin Zao: "Thank you, housekeeper, for thinking about me."

The housekeeper said to the guard standing beside him: "Take him over and treat him well."

"Yes."

Lin Zao did not pull the housekeeper to continue questioning, but silently followed the guard until he came to a spacious yard.

"We're here. Several of our Lord's distinguished guests are already staying here. Young Master can get acquainted with them after entering. After all, you will need more cooperation in the future."

The guard left after leaving a few words.

Lin Zao squinted his eyes and walked into the yard without expression.

There were many rooms in the courtyard. Lin Zao observed it and found that everyone seemed to be staying behind closed doors.

However, there will be a sign hanging outside the door of the house that is already occupied, so Lin Zao will not accidentally break into other people's rooms.

In the end, Lin Zao chose a room far away from other people, in the far corner. After entering the door, Lin Zao saw the sign placed on the table in the room.

Just like the signs she just saw hanging outside the door to show that someone was there, Lin Zao picked it up and hung it on her door.

It was still early now, so Lin Zao planned to take a rest first and wait until dark before going out to investigate.

When the servant came to deliver lunch at noon, he brought a message to Lin Zao.
