The child immediately scratched his head in embarrassment and walked away.

However, Yi Shuyuan put down the ebony and books and stood up and walked towards the door. He stood in front of the library door and looked at the child who left silently. It was the child he rescued that day.

"Isn't there anyone with you?"

Yi Shuyuan's voice was calm, trying not to scare the other person. The child was about to leave, but stopped when he heard Yi Shuyuan's words, and stood in the corridor about ten steps away, answering awkwardly.

"Just wandering around wherever I can..."

The voice has an obvious non-local accent.

"Have you visited your father?"

The child's expression became a little panicked and scared. After hesitating for a moment, he nodded and answered timidly.

"I sent the adults to take me there and said that the man was my father... Sir, can I leave?"

"It's okay, you can go."

Hearing what Yi Shuyuan said, the child felt as if he was on the verge of an amnesty, so he trotted away quickly. He could not leave the county government office, nor could he go to some important places. There were not many people to look after him all the time, so he could only go where he could by himself.

When the time comes, you can go to the dining hall to eat, and you can sleep in the Tongpu.

Yi Shuyuan was thinking about this, but when the child reached the end of the corridor, he was lying behind the pillar and looking here. He seemed to hesitate for a long time before finally speaking again.

"Sir, when will my mother come?"

Yi Shuyuan was slightly startled, looked at the child and said.

"Why are you asking me? Other police officers should know more about this matter."

The child opened his mouth and said hesitantly.

"A young man told me that maybe the gentleman here will know..."

Yi Shuyuan frowned slightly, then waved to the child with a calm expression. The latter hesitated behind the pillar for a while, and finally walked over and arrived in front of Yi Shuyuan.

"Which young master said that?"

"He is the young man who is willing to talk to me besides you, my lord."

Yi Shuyuan smiled.

"I am not an adult. The young master you are talking about is not from the Yamen, right?"

This child is not allowed to leave the county government office, and he cannot usually see the real officials of the county government office, because he is not allowed to go to those places, and even if he is just an illegitimate child, other officials and the like will probably not want to see him, so he

The young master in question may be Chu Hang, who is relatively less prone to subjective emotions.

"I don't know... Sir, when will my mother come?"

The child asked again, with panicked expectation in his eyes. Yi Shuyuan reached out and touched the child's head. The latter obviously wanted to dodge, but moved his body but still didn't.

The child's face and hands have a rough complexion, and he does not look like he has lived a wealthy life since he was a child.

Looking at it, intentionally or unintentionally, Yi Shuyuan seemed to see a faint change of breath on the child's head, and even better, he seemed to feel a kind of echoing anxiety from afar.

This is the heart-to-heart connection between mother and son.

"They, they said that something might happen to my mother when I was kidnapped..."

The child's voice seemed to be a little choked, which also interrupted Yi Shuyuan's feelings, and he frowned slightly.

"Who told you?"

"No, no one said that. When I went to bed at night, I heard a few servants in the Tongbu talking quietly on the other side of the bed..."

Yi Shuyuan nodded and said.

"Don't worry, your mother is fine. She is worried about you. She will be here in a while. Go and play."

Yi Shuyuan's voice carries a sense of tranquility that penetrates the heart, as if it can naturally convince children.

"Thank you, sir, thank you, sir!"
