Chapter 603 Even with a lantern, it's impossible to find
Princess Zhenbei did not hide anything, "Originally, according to the time, it should have been time to receive letters from home, but this time your plan with Feng'er was quite dangerous."
"Therefore, I wrote to your uncle after I left the capital city."
"My letter was late, so your uncle's reply will naturally be late as well, probably within the next day or two."
Lin Chang'er nodded, feeling that the couple had a good relationship, but she also felt sorry that the Prince of Zhenbei, who had protected the thousands of troops in the north for the sake of the country and the people, had failed to protect his own child.
However, she dared not bring this up openly, otherwise it would be like rubbing salt in the wound, which would be really boring.
He nodded. "That's good!"
Princess Zhenbei smiled and nodded at her. The two sat and chatted for a while, with Princess Zhenbei mostly asking about the children.
She didn't specifically name any children, but simply asked them what they liked to eat and play, and also inquired about their studies.
Lin Chang'er did not hold back and answered each question in turn.
Perhaps due to the calm that followed last night, Princess Zhenbei appeared very composed today.
Wu Qingfeng and his party were picked up by Lin Beishan in the evening.
The fire site was filled with soot, and when Wu Qingfeng, Lin Yanqing, and Xiao Jinyu returned, they looked exactly like three pieces of charcoal, large, medium, and small.
His face was covered in black ash, but when he smiled, his white teeth shone even brighter.
Gu Xiaoman and Xiaobao sat on the threshold early in the morning, and as soon as they saw their older brother, they immediately went to greet him.
Gu Xiaoman's legs were still trembling when she first burst into laughter, clutching her stomach. "Hahaha, Uncle Wu, my little uncle and big brother have turned into charcoal!"
Then she turned and ran into the yard, shouting as she ran, "Auntie, Auntie, my older brother has turned into charcoal..."
Lin Chang'er went out when she heard the commotion and saw that Madam Huo and the Princess of Zhenbei were already there.
Madam Huo was wiping her son's face with a handkerchief, muttering as she did so, "How did he get so dirty?"
Wu Qingfeng took the handkerchief from his mother's hand. "Mother, you rest. I'll do it myself."
Sister-in-law Gu wiped Lin Yanqing's face with her sleeve, laughing as she did so, "If you wait until it gets dark to come back, I really won't be able to find you even with a lantern."
Lin Yanqing wasn't angry at all. Instead, she chuckled and said, "There's a lot of smoke and ash in the fire. We didn't bring any soap with us, and we figured that washing with water would only make us dirtier. So we might as well go home and wash ourselves."
Sister-in-law Gu laughed heartily, "You little rascal, you're quite the clever one."
After teasing him, he looked at the little goldfish and said, "Oh dear, you're such a dark-skinned old man today, even your mother wouldn't recognize you."
Then they saw Princess Zhenbei wiping the child's face and said with a smile, "Your Highness, boys are tough, it doesn't matter if they get a little dusty. Hot water is ready, just have Yanqing take him to wash him clean."
Princess Zhenbei, however, was quite pleased with it, saying, "I'll just give it a quick wipe so that no black ash gets in my eyes."
While tidying up the little goldfish, she asked him, "What did you do with your Uncle Wu today?"
The little goldfish answered truthfully: "Last night, the pirates set fire to the town and burned down half a street of houses. I spent the whole day cleaning up the fire site with my uncles and other relatives."
A hint of heartache flashed in the Princess of Zhenbei's eyes as she asked him again, "The fire site is full of ruins and broken pillars, it's very heavy, what can you do?"
The little goldfish chuckled, "My uncle and I were looking for small beams and moving clods of earth. My uncles and aunts would lend a hand too. I may be small, but I'm very strong..." But my mother and Uncle Wu both told me not to tell anyone about my strength or to show it to outsiders.
