This was the second time Huo Chengche had heard this sentence today. The first time, Cheng Wenli had asked the exact same question when he met them. Huo Chengche even felt that the two of them had asked the same question in the same tone.

Huo Chengche's expression darkened; he didn't believe it was just a coincidence.

Just like Cheng Wenli, who is facing imminent disaster, the Empress Dowager and the Emperor will not tolerate the affair between the Imperial Preceptor Changxu and the consort of Princess Linhuang who are abducting children to make elixirs. The incident is likely to be exposed in the next few days.

But just after they encountered the strange Cheng Wenli and his daughter, they ran into the Imperial Preceptor Changxu, who also had an unusual interest in the little baby.

Huo Chengche scrutinized the Grand Preceptor Changxu without showing any emotion, and responded lightly, "Grand Preceptor has good eyesight. I don't think you've ever seen the three younger sisters I'm with, but you were able to recognize Niannian at a glance."

Compared to Cheng Wenli's shock when Huo Chengche suddenly exposed him, the Grand Preceptor Changxu appeared much calmer. Upon hearing this, he simply chuckled and mumbled:

"I had long heard that the little princess of the Prince of Hengchang was a lucky star reincarnated, and that she was blessed with good fortune. Seeing her today, I can see that she is indeed surrounded by divine grace and is blessed with good luck!"

These words came from the mouth of a national advisor, so naturally no one dared to question them. Except for Huo Chengche and the little boy, everyone looked on with unwavering admiration, thinking that the national advisor was indeed highly skilled and had opened his third eye, able to see everything.

However, Hengchang does not have a national advisor.

"Why do you adults like to lie? You clearly didn't see anything. And you were just staring at Niannian, not looking around her. Even if Niannian is surrounded by good fortune, you should have looked around first before looking at her."

The little boy spoke frankly, his soft, childlike voice full of seriousness, his cheeks puffed out, his expression a mixture of certainty and doubt—certainty about the facts, and doubt about the adults' strange behavior.

"Adults always teach children not to lie, but does that mean only children can't say that adults can lie?" The little dumpling pouted, feeling it was unfair, and looked up at her older brother, the Crown Prince.

Huo Chengche had always been indifferent to the Imperial Preceptor, especially the current Imperial Preceptor Changxu. He always felt that this man was wicked and had the incident of training children had occurred, which made Huo Chengche even more disgusted with Imperial Preceptor Changxu.

He narrowed his eyes, watching as the Grand Preceptor Changxu, who had been leisurely stroking his beard with self-satisfaction just a moment ago, now had his face stiffen after being spoken to by the little boy, and couldn't help but sneer.

Meeting his wife's questioning gaze, Huo Chengche explained, "Of course not. Neither adults nor children should lie. Just like there are good babies and bad babies, if a child who lies is a bad baby, then an adult who lies..."

Huo Chengche slightly lifted his eyelids and gave the Imperial Advisor a half-smile.

The little boy immediately understood and blurted out, "He's a bad guy!"

The little boy, realizing what had happened, was very proud. His dimples deepened, and he grinned, raising his rosy cheeks with a smug look that begged for praise.

Huo Chengche smiled faintly, glancing sideways at the Grand Preceptor Changxu, and, following the little boy's wishes, praised him gently, "Yes, Niannian is right, Niannian is really great!"

"Hehe!" The little dumpling smiled sweetly, feeling very proud of herself after receiving the praise.

Huo Chengche withdrew his gaze and looked at the Grand Preceptor Changxu. A cold smile played on his thin lips. Before he could speak, he coldly cut him off, saying, "Grand Preceptor, you wouldn't be saying that Nian Nian is only three years old and it's her first time meeting you, yet she would slander you for no reason?"
