"Why disguise yourself if you're just going shopping?" Princess Cheng'an's attention was indeed diverted, but her big eyes were full of questions.

"Because we need to take the princess to meet someone, we can't let her be recognized."

Princess Cheng'an thought about it for a moment and thought it was feasible, so she nodded and said, "I'll listen to you. If that person isn't interested, I will definitely hold you accountable."

She handed the scroll back to the maid, thought for a moment, and said, "If Yu Shuo comes back, show him the scroll. Tell the Empress Dowager the result."

Qin Su said to her mother, "It's hard on you, Mother, waiting here for His Highness."

Qin's mother shook her head, but was quite worried about the eccentric princess.

Qin Su patted the back of her hand, indicating that she didn't need to worry. The princess's personality was easy to handle; if everyone were as cunning as Xue Huai'an, that would be a real headache.

Qin Su dressed the princess up as a girl with a large purplish-red birthmark on her face. The princess kept complaining that she was ugly, so Qin Su had no choice but to dress up as ugly herself.

She had a large mole on her nose and a long scar running from her left eye to her right jawline, which ruined the beauty of her entire face.

After combing my hair again, no one recognized me.

"Alright, alright, that makes us ugly sisters." Princess Cheng'an felt much better. "If we're going to go all the way, you can't call yourself a princess when we go out. You call me sister, and I'll call you sister-in-law."

Qin Su's eyelids twitched, and she was about to retort when Princess Cheng'an glared at her, "You are not allowed to resist."

"This is an order."

Qin Su could only silently say "I'm so sorry" to Yu Shuo several times before being forced to admit it.

Guanqian Street.

"Sister, I wonder if your husband is at home today?" Qin Su asked the princess.

"Ah? He's not here today." The princess didn't know why Qin Su wanted to ask about her husband, but it wasn't a secret worth hiding, so she answered casually.

"By the way, where are we going?" The princess was quite interested in this novel way of shopping.

"You'll know when you get there, but you must stay calm and not act impulsively."

"Who do I need to be calm to see?" she said with a smile, her noble demeanor undiminished even by the large birthmark on her face.

Qin Su led her to a small courtyard in the south of the city, avoided the sentries, and climbed onto the roof. Qin Su gestured for her not to speak, and then pointed down.

The princess followed her hand and could only see a young woman and a little boy; at this distance, she couldn't make out their faces clearly.

'Who are they?' she mouthed to Qin Su.

"No rush, take your time." Qin Su didn't know if Kang Lin was here today, so she could only wait and see.

The two lay on the roof for a while, but still couldn't see the man. Qin Su put him down, found a tree branch to use as a walking stick, and adjusted the bundle on her shoulder. "Sister, Aunt's house should be here."

She changed her voice, making it low and somewhat hoarse.

The princess blinked, looking at her with great curiosity.

Qin Su arrived at the door and knocked.

The woman who opened the door was slender and beautiful, and didn't seem to be from Kyoto.

"Who are you two looking for?" she asked, her voice gentle.

Qin Su, her back hunched, asked, "Miss, may I ask if this is the Xun family's residence?"

The young woman shook her head. "I've never heard of any Xun family. You must have come to the wrong place."

Qin Su stared blankly at the young woman, her eyes quickly reddening. She soon cried out, "Auntie, where is Auntie? Why is this address?"

"Sister, what are we going to do now? We can't find our aunt, what are we going to do?" She hugged the princess beside her and burst into tears.

The young woman was momentarily at a loss for words. She said, "Well, I moved here three years ago. Perhaps the previous family's surname was Xun. Would you two please come in and have a seat?"

"Madam, please do not let strangers in."

A slightly familiar voice rang out in the princess's ears, and she tried to turn her head to look, but it was difficult to see from this angle.

"We...we're dirty, we dare not trouble you, sir," Qin Su said, crying.

"It's alright, come in." The young woman seemed to be kind-hearted; she ignored the man speaking inside and led the people in directly.

Qin Su moved closer to the princess and whispered, "Sister, don't speak."

She suspected that there might be someone the princess knew among them, and if things really escalated, things could get complicated.

Although the princess was not happy that Qin Su was controlling her like this, she thought about it and decided to put up with it.

The young woman brought tea and asked the kitchen to make some pastries. Holding her child's hand, she said, "I don't know if they'll suit your tastes, but they should be enough to fill your stomachs."

The princess was focused on finding the source of the familiar voice, but she didn't see anyone.

"Thank you. Our hometown was flooded, and we're just grateful to have something to eat." She seemed quite grateful.

"Judging from your accent, you don't seem to be from Kyoto either." She said, seemingly striking up a conversation while eating pastries.

The young woman nodded. "My home is in Yang County, but I grew up in Jiangzhou."

Qin Su nodded, then looked at the child and praised with a smile, "Madam's child is so cute. But where is the child's father?"

She speaks casually and doesn't easily attract attention.

After a while, she continued to say to herself, "Madam is truly a living Bodhisattva, beautiful and kind-hearted. If it weren't for Madam, my sister and I wouldn't know what to do."

The young woman smiled and said, "You flatter me, young lady. My mother taught me to be kind to others and you will reap good results. As for the child's father..." She patted the child's head and said with a wry smile, "He is always elusive, saying he is working outside, but he won't let me ask too many questions."

"But I think it doesn't really matter, as long as he doesn't break the law, that's fine."

"Madam and your husband are truly a loving couple," Qin Su complimented.

"Yes, he is a very good person. If it weren't for him, I might not be alive."

Qin Su: "So it's a beautiful story. May I ask your honorable surname, madam? I will certainly repay your kindness if I have the opportunity in the future."

The woman smiled and said, "My surname is Wang. These are just some tea and pastries; it's hardly a favor."

She suddenly looked at the princess beside Qin Su and asked in confusion, "Why is this young lady staring at my son?"

Qin Su quickly said, "My sister was born with a speech impediment and cannot speak. Perhaps she was thinking of her child who died young when she saw the young master."

Mrs. Wang had no doubts. "We're all mothers, we can understand."

My condolences.

Qin Su put down the pastries and said, "It's getting late, so we shouldn't bother you any longer."

"Okay, I'll pack the pastries for you so you can have them as provisions on the road."

"Thank you, Madam. You are so kind-hearted."

After taking the pastries, Qin Su led the princess away quickly. As they were leaving, she made eye contact with the guard who was secretly watching them. She immediately gave him a silly, innocent smile, which dispelled his suspicions.

Back on Guanqian Street, the princess snatched the pastries from Qin Su's arms and threw them to the beggar. Before she could speak, Qin Su stopped her with one hand and stroked her hair with the other, saying, "Don't worry, little sister, we will definitely find our aunt."
