Oh no! Seven kids at the start, all yellow and skinny.

Chapter 80 Just Look Alike

Chen Rui's expression darkened slightly: "Who told you this, Sister Lian'er?"

"You don't need to care who you heard it from." A hint of disdain flashed in Han Lian'er's eyes. "Fang Yunyi is gone, the engagement is null and void, I will definitely be the Third Prince's consort, as for you, you will at most be a concubine."

Chen Rui lowered her eyes: "Sister Lian'er, don't worry, Rui'er has no intention of entering the palace."

"Whether you mean it or not, the Third Prince is mine. If you dare to covet him, don't blame me for being impolite." A ruthless glint flashed in Han Lian'er's eyes.

"Rui'er dares not, but if it is the master's will, then Rui'er cannot refuse."

"I don't care about all that." Han Lian'er sneered. "In short, anyone who dares to block my way, I'll kill them."

Chen Rui lowered her eyes and remained silent.

"That bitch Fang Yunyi should be dead, right?" Han Lian'er suddenly remembered something, turned her head and called her personal maid, "Has A-Kuan returned?"

Ah Kuan was the guard assassin sent to kill Yun Yi.

"They haven't come back yet." The maid Qingliu hurriedly shook her head. "They haven't sent back any news either."

"Hmm?" Han Lian'er frowned. "Then why didn't you report it?"

Qingliu was so frightened that she quickly knelt down.

"Go and contact them quickly, then send someone to check if that bitch is dead." Han Lian'er kicked Qing Liu.

"Yes." Qingliu didn't dare to cry out in pain and hurriedly got up to make arrangements.

Chen Rui clenched her fist. If she could, she really wanted to kill Han Lian'er, but unfortunately, she couldn't. But what if she went to Black City herself? If…

However, she quickly dismissed the idea. If Han Lian'er got into trouble in Longxi Prefecture, it would definitely implicate her family, which would be very troublesome.

As for Ah Kuan, he woke up less than fifteen minutes after Yun Yi left. Because his body had been tempered by drugs since childhood, he was much more resistant to hypnosis or drugs than the average person.

He hadn't forgotten the question Yun Yi had asked earlier, so he was certain that this was the Fang family's eldest daughter whom Han Lian'er was wary of.

However, looking at the hundred taels of silver in his arms, he felt somewhat complicated.

He was considered one of the top masters in the martial arts world, and he even knew how to use poison, but it seemed to have no effect on that woman at all. He couldn't even sense any internal energy in her, yet he didn't even last three moves. This was... unbelievable.

Even more unbelievable, the woman gave him money.

If he were an ordinary bodyguard assassin, he might have been able to take the money and live a new life under an assumed name. But he wasn't. He went into hiding to stay with the Han family because he had an unfinished mission.

But he wasn't in a hurry to go back; he wanted to go see that woman.

However, finding Yunyi was not easy, since he didn't know where she lived. So, he waited in town and luckily, he caught up with her, but lost her in the blink of an eye. Nevertheless, he was relieved and jumped off a gentle cliff, then sent a message.

Han Lian'er came to see A-Kuan in person: "How did you handle this?"

"I have failed in my duty, please punish me, Miss." Ignoring his injuries and broken leg, Ah Kuan hurriedly turned over and knelt on the ground.

"Is that bitch dead or not?"

"That woman is highly skilled in martial arts; I am no match for her."

"What?" Han Lian'er's voice rose involuntarily. "High martial arts skills? Are you sure?"

"It was she who injured me." Ah Kuan lowered his head; he wasn't lying.

"How is that possible?" Han Lian'er frowned. "How could Fang Yunyi possibly be a martial arts master?"

"Second Miss, there are so many people in this world who look alike." A-Kuan glanced at Han Lian'er, then lowered his head again.

Han Lian'er took a deep breath: "Never mind, you should focus on recovering." With that, she turned and walked out.

Ah-Kuan let out a sigh of relief, feeling completely exhausted, and collapsed to the ground.

"Brother Kuan, get up quickly." Han Lian'er's other maid, Lvliu, hurriedly came over and helped him up. "You rest well, I'll bring you some food later."

"Thank you, Miss Green Willow."

Green Willow blushed, turned around and ran out.

Ah Kuan couldn't help but reach out and squeeze the silver notes in his pocket, and let out a sigh of relief. That was all he could do.

Meanwhile, in Xiajiazhuang, everyone gathered at Yunyi's doorstep because the monkey troop had returned, this time to collect snacks and vests.

The pastries were made by Xia Songshi, and the vests were made by Jia Liushi.

Unfortunately, Jia Liu made the clothes a little larger or smaller than Sixteen's size, so the former monkey king couldn't wear them at all. Seeing that the other twenty-odd monkeys were all dressed up in gorgeous clothes, but he wasn't, the former monkey king was heartbroken. His square face slumped, and he cried.

Madam Jia Liu was stunned: "This...this...don't cry, I'll redo it tonight, it'll be fine tomorrow..."

The monkey king with the square face immediately stopped crying and even smiled at Jia Liu Shi.

But the square-faced man's smile was so frightening that it almost scared Jia Liu Shi to death.

The villagers found it fascinating and tried to greet the monkeys. Because of Sixteen's presence, the monkeys greeted everyone in a friendly manner. One of the little monkeys even ran directly onto the village chief's shoulder and perched there.

This drew cheers from the crowd.

"Sixteen, the safety of the village and the home is in your hands." Yunyi glanced at Sixteen. "I'm going to the prefectural city; I might not be back for a few days."

Boss, aren't you taking me?

What am I taking you here for? A circus act?

sixteen:……

Boss, you're now criticizing me without any restraint.

When Uncle Zhou returned in the evening, he couldn't find Lin Yanran because she had gone out, and Uncle He didn't know where she had gone.

"Uncle He said he would help inquire and send a letter if there is a suitable candidate."

"Thank you for your hard work, Uncle Zhou." Yunyi nodded. "Rest first, and come with me to the prefectural city tomorrow."

"Okay." Uncle Zhou nodded, turned around and went back to wash up and rest.

Just then, Xia Songshi came to call her, saying that someone was looking for her outside.

When Yunyi went out, she was somewhat surprised to see that it was Lao Quan. After helping her kill the wild boar last time, she gave him a hundred catties of meat to take to the county town to sell. However, there had been no news of him, and he had not returned. She hadn't thought much of it, but she didn't expect that he would come back after two months.

"I ran into some trouble in the county town, so I'm only just getting back." Old Quan seemed a little embarrassed, then took out a purse. "The hundred catties of wild boar meat you gave me last time, I delivered to the restaurant in the county town and gave them a total of five taels of silver."

Yunyi didn't take the purse, but smiled at Lao Quan: "Lao Quan, my family needs a guard. Would you like to come? It's one tael of silver a month, and you'll be provided with food, lodging, and clothes."
