Chapter 298: Talking nonsense with open eyes
The setting sun melts gold.
Dusk fell.
It was getting dark.
The two little ones haven't returned yet.
Lu Qingyao only discovered that her child was missing after she got home.
Upon seeing the dug-out dog hole, and then asking the gatekeeper...
I understand now.
The two kids just need some discipline.
They pretend to comply with what they are told not to do, but secretly defy it.
Thinking of Miaomiao, she had been quite well-behaved since returning to the capital. How come she has become so unruly again after only a few days, even daring to run off to the neighbor's house?
This little girl is bolder than other girls since she was a child. When she sees people fighting, she puts a rice bowl on the princess's head and stuffs insects into people's mouths.
After only a few days of being quiet, her old habit of being overly curious resurfaced.
After leaving Jiangzhou, Cui Liulang came to the capital and met Yan Cheng'an.
He had only been at our house for a few days, but he had already wiped out all the fish in the pond.
Just as his mother said, this child is itching for a beating if he doesn't get a spanking every day.
Yan Cheng'an: ...I am more wronged than Dou E.
"Dong dong dong..."
Lu Qingyao braced herself and knocked on the gate of the princess's residence.
Although they lived right next door, she was not even qualified to visit them, let alone send an invitation. So she just barged in.
But there was really no other way.
Neither forcing their way in nor sneaking into the princess's residence at night would work.
If they don't find out, it's fine, but once they do, no amount of explaining will make it clear.
What if they assign you something like assassinating a princess?
Then her children would be motherless.
After much thought, although visiting in person would be impolite, it was also understandable.
Such a big princess shouldn't make things difficult for two little ones, right?
Moreover, Yan Cheng'an is also present.
Although the current Empress Dowager is not Emperor Xuan's biological mother, she raised him and is very fond of the princes and grandsons.
Princess Yuqing, even if she doesn't respect the monks, she should at least respect the Buddha.
We still have to give the Mu family face.
"Squeak."
The gates of the princess's residence opened.
There was no contempt or obstruction as I had imagined.
After they were informed, the gatekeeper let them in.
Not only the gatekeeper, but even the servants who led the way were surprisingly kind.
Sometimes, the attitude of servants towards visitors can reveal the attitude of their masters.
At this hour, and despite their abrupt arrival, they were all treated with kindness and pleasantries.
It is clear that Princess Yuqing was not a petty person.
Lu Qingyao felt somewhat relieved.
Xiuxiu found it a bit strange. Although the servants in the princess's mansion might not necessarily treat people differently based on their status, they shouldn't be this easy to talk to.
Unless their master specifically instructed them to do so.
The two looked around and, even though it was already dark, they could still sense how many guards, both overt and covert, were hidden in the garden.
Look at each other.
I'm still a little scared.
Fortunately, they did not intend to sneak into the princess's residence at night.
Otherwise, he would probably be mistaken for an assassin.
They followed the maid for quite a while, but still couldn't see the two little cubs.
The backyard of the princess's residence.
Princess Yuqing was already waiting there.
She was in a good mood after seeing her little girl today, and her excitement was still hard to calm down.
Her daughter was really well raised by the Lu family; she was intelligent, clever, and adorable.
That's exactly how she imagined her daughter to be.
Miao Miao's appearance is half like her and half like her biological father.
Although I cannot be with that person, I have my children by my side.
She had no more desires.
Upon seeing Lu Qingyao enter, Princess Yuqing immediately excused her from the formalities and offered her a seat.
The two glanced at each other for a moment, seemingly intentionally or unintentionally.
Lu Qingyao thought the princess was really beautiful, the most beautiful woman she had ever seen.
As for the rumors that she was arrogant and ruthless...
You can't tell at all.
Although it is said that one cannot judge a book by its cover.
But this appearance is truly impossible to ignore.
The princess seems to be in a good mood, with her eyebrows curved and a smile playing on her lips.
He seemed very easy to talk to.
Princess Yuqing visits Lady Lu.
There was absolutely no sense of awkwardness or restraint on her.
His eyes were clear, his demeanor was neither arrogant nor humble, and his bearing was dignified and graceful.
This kind of demeanor is something that many noble ladies might not be able to match.
It's no wonder that her daughter is so intelligent and well-behaved under her guidance.
She quite admired Miaomiao's adoptive mother.
In the entire Daliang region, there weren't many women she could look up to.
Princess Yuqing cut to the chase, saying, "I heard that Lady Lu came to see me because of your youngest daughter?"
Lu Qingyao stood up and bowed. "Your Highness, my daughter is young and ignorant. She sneaked into your residence through the dog hole at some point. If she has offended you in any way, I apologize on her behalf. May I take her home?"
Looking at Princess Yuqing's expression now, it was hard to tell whether she was happy or angry.
She suddenly felt a little uncertain.
"Crawling through a dog hole?"
The princess looked surprised and instructed her maid, "Go quickly and look for her. It's getting dark. If Miss Jiang really comes to the manor, make sure she doesn't get lost."
After a short while, the maid returned.
"Your Highness, we have searched the entire garden, but we have not found Miss Jiang."
"No?" Lu Qingyao asked the maid.
"No...no." The maid lowered her head guiltily, feeling as if the lady's eyes could see right through her.
She made people afraid to look her in the eye.
Princess Yuqing coughed, which finally drew Lu Qingyao's attention back.
She opened her eyes and said, "Madam Lu, please don't worry. The children are all accompanied by servants, so nothing will happen to them. They might just be hiding somewhere playing, and you missed them. Perhaps they are already staying at home safely right now."
She didn't want her daughter to be scolded on their first meeting.
Moreover, it seems that the unruly one is the Yan family brat, not Miaomiao.
The dog hole was right there, but she wasn't afraid. Instead, she went around to the main gate to find Yan Cheng'an.
It is evident that she is extremely well-mannered.
Lu Qingyao thought for a moment.
The two children were accompanied by skilled fighters who were no match for ordinary people.
Nothing should happen.
But the gatekeeper clearly saw Miao Miao arrive at the princess's residence.
Moreover, with so many eyes watching from both the princess's residence, both openly and secretly, if she were truly there, she shouldn't have missed it.
She pleaded, "Your Highness, could you please help us look for them again? Yan Cheng'an, the nephew of the Duke of Shen, is also with us."
If she could search this garden, she would have gone to find it herself.
Seeing Lu Qingyao's expression, which seemed to indicate disbelief, Princess Yuqing looked at Xiuxiu standing behind her and said, "This lady should go back and check first. If she is really not there, I will search the entire garden to find your child."
Lu Qingyao was somewhat flattered.
Princess Yuqing's words didn't seem like a mere evasive response.
She nodded slightly to Xiuxiu, "Then let's do as the princess says and go back to take a look."
Or perhaps the two little ones really did go back after their stroll.
After all, there's no need for a princess to make fun of her.
Either an accident occurred.
Where are the children trapped?
Lu Qingyao dared not think about it.
