I made the villain right.

The night was quiet and the outside of the inn was eerie. The moonlight was dimly visible through the moving black clouds. There was a flickering fire in the woods, and someone was walking in the woods with a torch.

A tall and thin man suddenly stopped and asked the strong man beside him in confusion: "Brother, is there anything left to rob in that broken place?"

The sturdy man glared at him and said, "You'll know once you get there. It's become a rule to go there every few days. We have to abide by the rules."

Everyone laughed when they heard this: "Big brother is right."

After that, the robbers rushed to the inn with torches.

At this time, in another place in the forest, Fan Hua was standing quietly, as if waiting for something.

Suddenly a pigeon flew across the sky. Fan Hua blew a whistle, and the pigeon seemed to understand and fell directly towards him.

The carrier pigeon carrying messages from Fengyun Pavilion must pass through this road, and Fanhua is waiting here just for this carrier pigeon.

After the pigeon landed, Fan Hua took the creed from it, opened it and saw that everything was arranged, and the operation here had the help of the Four Princes.

Xu Wusheng was also involved in this matter, which surprised Fan Hua a little.

Fan Hua stuffed the written creed into the pigeon's leg ring, then released it and returned to the inn.

Shi Jin and the woman sat around a fire. The fire was burning fiercely, making a crackling sound. From time to time, the sound of their chatting could be heard in the quiet yard.

The woman flipped through the sweet potatoes, picked out the ones that were already baked, chose a large one, wrapped it in a handkerchief and handed it to Shi Jin: "This one is ready, try it quickly."

"Thank you, mother." Shi Jin took the sweet potato. It was hot even through her handkerchief, so she didn't eat it immediately but blew on it.

The woman suddenly remembered something, so she looked up at her and said, "I heard that the gates of Kyoto are closed these days and no one is allowed to go in or out. I'm afraid you won't be able to go back tomorrow."

Shi Jin lowered his eyes and looked at the dancing flames, his eyes showing determination: "Something urgent happened at home, I must go back to see it no matter what"

After that, she broke open the sweet potato and ate it. The yellow sweet potato tasted fragrant and crispy, very delicious. She smiled and praised: "Mother, you are a great cook. The baked sweet potato is delicious."

"Oh, there's someone blocking the door. Does he want to be the door god?" At this time, a frivolous and abrupt voice came from outside the door, causing the woman's face to change.

"The robbers are here again," the woman said in a trembling voice. She tried to stand up in panic, but she had been sitting for too long and her legs and feet were stiff, so she couldn't stand up. She looked anxious and helpless, and it seemed that she had suffered a psychological trauma from the robbers these days.

Shi Jin immediately stepped forward to help her up and comforted her, "Don't worry, mother. We are here and will not let these robbers do anything wrong here."

There are secret guards outside the door, so the robbers should not be able to get in.

The woman was still a little worried. She held Shi Jin's hand tightly and did not dare to go out to see. She could only listen quietly to the noise outside.

"Ah, ah!" After a moment, screams were heard one after another outside, and it seemed that the battle was fierce.

The shopkeeper in the house heard such a loud noise and hurried out. Seeing Shi Jin in the yard, he asked, "What happened outside?"

"The robbers are coming," Shi Jin said lightly, but the shopkeeper was shocked when he heard it.

The next second, Shi Jin said again: "Don't worry, there are people guarding outside, they can't get in."

The shopkeeper heaved a sigh of relief, and when he heard no more noise outside, he curiously opened the door, and looked out. His eyes suddenly widened, and he saw a pile of corpses lying outside the door. The robbers had all been stabbed in the throat with a single sword, and their deaths were extremely tragic.

After his eyes fell on the secret guard outside the door, he swallowed his saliva in fear, then he opened the door, walked forward cautiously, and smiled a little stiffly: "This brother is really good at fighting, how about we get to know each other, my name is Chen Sheng"

The secret guard ignored him, but turned to look at Shi Jin and bowed his head slightly: "I'm sorry to disturb you, Madam."

Shi Jin's mouth twitched slightly: "It's okay"

Seeing that the secret guard ignored him, Chen Sheng scratched his head awkwardly, laughed dryly, and praised: "This brother has personality and the demeanor of a hero."

Seeing that there was no immediate crisis, the woman let go of Shi Jin's hand.

At this time, Fan Hua came back from outside and saw the corpse in the yard, his brows slightly frowned.

When Shi Jin saw Fan Hua coming back, the corners of his lips curled up, and "A Yu" immediately went out to greet him.

The moment Shi Jin turned to leave, the woman's eyes caught a glimpse of the phoenix hairpin on her head, her heart skipped a beat, and shock flashed across her eyes.

This phoenix hairpin! It is...

Yes……

The woman's mouth was trembling, and she wanted to speak, but no sound came out.

Just now she was far away and the light was not good, so she did not notice the phoenix hairpin that Shi Jin was wearing. Now that she was closer, she recognized the hairpin. This phoenix hairpin belonged to her master.

Shi Jin went forward and hugged Fan Hua: "Why didn't you tell me where you were going? I thought you left me alone."

Fan Hua held her in his arms and said gently, "I went to the woods to wait for the carrier pigeons to arrive. I was in such a hurry that I forgot to tell you."

Shi Jin looked up at him and asked, "What did the letter say?"

Fan Hua looked at her with eyes filled with stars, tender and affectionate, and rubbed her hair: "Everything has been arranged, and we will definitely save them, don't worry"

"Um"

The secret guard and Mr. Chen couldn't help but look away when they saw their loving scene.

Chen Chen turned his head and saw his mother limping towards him, looking hurried, as if she had something urgent to do.

Chen Sheng hurried forward to support her: "Mother, if you want to do something, just call me."

After hearing the voice, Shi Jin let go of Fan Hua's embrace and looked towards them. The woman did not reply to Chen Sheng's words, but stared at her straightly: "Miss, I have something to ask you"

"Mother, what do you want to ask?"

The woman walked up to her and pointed at the phoenix hairpin on her head: "Miss, can you show me the phoenix hairpin on your head?"

Shi Jin thought the woman liked her phoenix hairpin and wanted to see it, so she agreed to the woman's request without saying a word: "Okay." Then she took the phoenix hairpin off her head and gave it to the woman.

The woman took the hairpin and examined it carefully. When she saw the word "衣" (clothing) engraved on it, she was obviously startled and said excitedly, "Girl, where did you get this hairpin?"

Shi Jin and Fan Hua clearly felt that the woman's expression was unusual when she saw the phoenix hairpin. Their eyes met, and they vaguely realized something in their hearts.

Shi Jin did not answer, but asked directly: "Mother, do you recognize this phoenix hairpin?"

The woman remembered something. When she looked at the phoenix hairpin, her eyes became extremely deep and flashing, revealing an unconcealable sadness in her eyes. "Yes, this is my master's phoenix hairpin. Miss, you haven't told me how you got this hairpin."

When Fan Hua heard this, his expression changed slightly. He seemed indifferent about the matter of finding his relatives, but in fact he was sensitive and timid.

In the past, he longed to find his parents, but at the same time he was afraid that he was a child abandoned by his parents. Wouldn’t it be ridiculous if he went to their house?

However, after searching for several years, he did not find any clues. He thought that perhaps they were no longer alive, or perhaps they were destined not to meet in this life, so he did not find them. When he gave up, clues appeared again. At this moment, he felt complicated.

Shi Jin noticed Fan Hua's expression and subconsciously held his hand tightly, as if to say, "It's okay, I'm here."

"Mother, to be honest with you, this phoenix hairpin is something my husband has been wearing since he was a child. It may be related to my husband's life experience. Mother, can you tell us in detail who the master you are talking about is?"

After hearing this, the woman's face tensed up, and she immediately asked Fan Hua, "Did you ever fall off a cliff when you were a child?"

Fan Hua was stunned, his eyes flickering, and he looked at the woman with increasingly complicated eyes. He hesitated for a moment and said, "I can't remember anything about my childhood."

When the woman heard this, a hint of disappointment flashed through her eyes, but Fan Hua suddenly said, "But I heard from others that I found it under a cliff, and I had no memory of it after I woke up."

Since Fan Hua recovered his memory last time, he remembered some things from the past. His father was a scholar in Tongxi Village, named Fan Pingzhi. When he was six years old, he fell off a cliff. When he woke up, he had no memory and was seriously injured. Fan Pingzhi took pity on him and adopted him.

He didn't know these things at first, but his father's sister didn't like him, a child of unknown origin. She would either verbally insult him or often treat him badly. He learned all these things from her.

The woman's eyes lit up when she heard the words again. When she looked at Fan Hua again, her eyes were moist. "No wonder you seemed like an old friend when I first met you. It turns out that you are the master's child."

After saying this, the woman seemed to be relieved and knelt down. This action shocked Fan Hua so much that his face froze, and Shi Jin was also stunned.

"Mom, what are you doing?"

Just as Chen Sheng was about to help her up, he heard her shout, "Princess, the prince is still alive. I finally found him in my lifetime. I will never let you down."

The woman was clearly smiling, but her eyes were full of tears. At this moment, she seemed to finally dare to face the pain in her heart.

Seeing this, Shi Jin's heart couldn't help but tighten, and his eyes unconsciously fell on Fan Hua's face, but he saw that Fan Hua's face was calm, and even his eyes were dull, but the hand he held tightly around her betrayed his inner thoughts, he was enduring it.

How could he remain calm after hearing such explosive news? He did not show his emotions, perhaps because he had some concerns in his mind.

After a moment, Fan Hua let go of Shi Jin's hand and immediately stepped forward to help the woman up. "Your legs and feet are inconvenient, so you should get up."

The woman wiped the tears from her eyes and said, "I was so excited that I embarrassed myself, Your Highness."

When Fan Hua saw her calling him the Prince, his eyebrows twitched slightly. He was not used to this unfamiliar identity for a moment.

Fan Hua looked at the woman and said calmly, "You can just call me Fan Hua. The title of Prince sounds strange to me."

The woman was startled, "Old slave, how can I call the prince by his name?" Facing Fan Hua's indifferent and distant eyes, she seemed to understand that he still needed time to accept this sudden change of identity.

She knew that he would not accept the title of Prince for the time being, and she felt that it was inappropriate to call him by his name, so she simply changed her words and called him Master.

The woman lowered her eyes and said, "I understand, Master."

Fan Hua knew what she was thinking, so he didn't hold on to the matter and just let her be.

The woman looked at the phoenix hairpin in her hand, walked to Shi Jin, and put it back on her. "This phoenix hairpin is yours now." She looked at Shi Jin with kind eyes, her eyes were gentle, just like a mother looking at her children. "It looks really good on you, Madam."
