Speaking of which, she seemed to hear her mother's voice before she died. When her soul left, her body seemed to be embraced by a familiar and warm embrace. That feeling was really like snuggling in her mother's arms many years ago.

Uncle Fu comforted her, "It was just a dream. This kind of thing will never happen."

Although he comforted Gu Qinghe that it was just a dream, he still clenched his fists because of what she said.

Their girl can never be a concubine, let alone the crown prince, even the prince or the emperor is not allowed!

The dependence and fear in Gu Qinghe's eyes made his heart tighten, and he couldn't help but rethink his plans for the past few days.

Forget it. Don't be too hasty. Now the girl is the only one left in the Chen family. If he leaves, the girl will be alone in the capital. If she is really deceived by those thieves as she said, she will not have the face to see the master when she goes to the underworld.

After resting, the two continued on their journey. Gu Qinghe could see from Uncle Fu's expression that he had wavered. She was somewhat relieved, but she also knew that Uncle Fu must be feeling bad.

She looked at the scenery flashing by outside and spoke slowly, "Uncle Fu, the Chen family's grievances will be cleared, and I will definitely find my mother."

In the evening, it was time to switch from land to water. Uncle Fu went to negotiate with someone to rent a boat, while Gu Qinghe stood on the shore, pulled a willow branch, held it in his hand, and knocked on the water.

After a while, the sound of hitting the water stopped and he looked around.

She seemed to hear a slight sobbing sound coming from somewhere.

And it was very close to her.

He glanced around and his eyes fell on the haystack next to him.

As soon as I started to walk over there, I saw a few burly men with ferocious looks rushing towards me from behind.

"Sou, I don't believe a child can fly to the sky."

"Damn it, when I find him I'm going to throw him into the river to feed the fish!"

The haystack behind seemed to shake.

Of course, the noise could not be hidden from those burly men. Seeing them coming over here, Gu Qinghe screamed and fell on the haystack, then suddenly jumped up, "Uncle Fu, there's a snake!"

Uncle Fu came over quickly, picked up the soft thing twisting next to the haystack and threw it far away.

Several burly men glanced over here, and seemed to think that it was impossible for the child to remain calm after hearing about the snake. So they did not continue searching over here, but waved their hands and left with their men to look somewhere else.

After the others had gone for a while, Gu Qinghe asked Uncle Fu, "Have they gone far?"

"Well," Uncle Fu looked at the haystack, stretched out his hand and pushed it twice, revealing a child with round eyes staring inside, "Come out."

The child was not very old, about five or six years old. His face was smeared black and his features could not be seen. His round eyes were full of vigilance. He stared at Gu Qinghe and Uncle Fu. His voice was very childish but he pretended to be calm. "If you help me, I will let Daddy repay you."

Whether to repay him or not is another matter, but Gu Qinghe thought that his little adult look was quite rare.

She curled her lips and waved at him, "Come out, if you don't leave now, those people will be back soon."

The child ran out quickly and decisively took Gu Qinghe's hand.

Although he did not approve of Gu Qinghe's behavior, Uncle Fu did not say anything. After all, if Madam Chen had not picked him up, he would have probably turned into bones many years ago.

With a burden along, the two men did not dare to delay and quickly got on board.
