"It should be okay, right?" Xie Yanzhi rummaged through the blanket and discovered that his little feet were wrapped up.

"Why are her feet wrapped up?" Jiang Yu asked, puzzled.

"Perhaps they're afraid she'll run away? After all, the Grand Princess must have spent a long time choosing this child," Xu Qingshi said after thinking for a moment.

When Xiaolian came in, she saw three children talking to Gu Nuonuo.

Xiao Lian cursed under her breath, "Damn it, where did these kids come from?"

She had just arranged for everyone in the courtyard to leave, but now there were three more children. She secretly hoped that these children wouldn't ruin her plans.

Xiao Lian then recalled how unhappy her master and the young masters seemed about the baby in swaddling clothes. She took a deep breath, smiled, and walked over, saying, "Why are you young masters playing here? Where are the adults in the manor?"

"Who are you, and why are you hugging her?" Xu Qingshi asked Xiaolian, somewhat puzzled.

For some reason, she disliked this person.

"Young master, the Grand Princess is still waiting to see the young lady," Xiao Lian said with a forced smile.

Xu Qingshi frowned. It wouldn't be surprising if the eldest princess wanted to see him.

"Young masters, this servant will take the young lady there first." Xiao Lian curtsied and then left with the child.

"You know, that child, although he's kind of pitiful-looking, he's not exactly good-looking, is he? But, I'd like my dad to bring one of those kinds of children home too," Jiang Yu said, resting his chin on his hand, looking puzzled.

Xu Qingshi thought of the pair of big, round eyes he had just seen, and his heart fluttered.

Could he also ask his father to find a sister like that for him?

"How about we ask the Grand Princess where she chose this child? We can have our family go there and choose one too," Xu Qingshi suggested after thinking for a moment.

The group hurried toward the flower hall where the Grand Princess was.

However, after taking only a few steps, Xu Qingshi, with his sharp eyes, saw Xiaolian carrying the child and walking in another direction.

"Isn't that the woman who was holding the baby just now?" Xu Qingshi pointed to Xiao Lian not far away and said.

"It's her," Xie Yan said with certainty.

"She's not going in the direction she's heading, is she?" Jiang Yu said, glancing in Xiao Lian's direction.

"But didn't she say that Princess Chang wanted to see the child?" After saying this, Jiang Yu realized that something was amiss.

"How about we follow them and see?"

Xu Qingshi asked cautiously, and the other two children nodded repeatedly.

They also wanted to know what that person wanted to do.

After a brief discussion, the children secretly followed Xiaolian.

Xiaolian carried the child, winding her way through the streets until she finally reached a secluded riverbank. There, she put the child down and left.

Xiao Lian was probably only thinking about leaving the children far away, or perhaps the children were walking lightly and didn't notice at all. Along the way, Xu Qingshi and the others followed at a distance.

"It seems like she's gone?" Jiang Yu said softly.

“I saw her leave too!” Xie Yanzhi nodded.

"Did you notice where the baby she was carrying went?" Xu Qingshi also saw Xiaolian leave, but she left empty-handed.

There was a ditch by the river that blocked Xu Qingshi and the others' view.

At this moment, they only saw that Xiaolian returned empty-handed.

"Where's the baby she was holding?" Xie Yanzhi thought for a moment before realizing that Xiao Lian hadn't been holding the baby when she left.

"There seems to be a river over there. Could she have thrown the child into the river?" Xu Qingshi thought. He had been here before. Thinking that the child might have been thrown into the river, the group rushed over.
