On Vermilion Bird Avenue, a wedding procession stretching for miles advanced in grand splendor.
The gilded bridal sedan, carried by sixteen bearers, shimmered under the sunlight. The embroide...
"The child is missing!" The Grand Princess was extremely distressed. Unfortunately, it was Ruan Jingge's child who was missing. If someone else's child was lost, they could cry a few words, and that would be no big deal.
"What? How could the child be missing out of nowhere? Where are the servants?" Gu Yunshu asked excitedly upon hearing this.
"Bring her up!" At the Grand Princess's command, the four maids, two old women, and two wet nurses who were originally guarding Gu Nuonuo were all brought in.
"Grand Princess, spare my life!"
"Grand Princess, spare my life!"
"Grand Princess, spare my life!"
......
Everyone kept kowtowing to the Grand Princess, begging for mercy.
"Where were you all when the child was lost?" Gu Xiangnan asked the group of maids and servants with a cold face.
“This servant, Cailing, was ordered by the Princess to take the young lady to the nearest Fulu Hall to rest. However, as soon as we arrived at Fulu Hall, the young lady wet her clothes. I went back to Shuxiang Courtyard to get her some clothes,” Cailing quickly knelt down and said.
"After Cailing went to get clothes for the young lady, I, Jianzhu, stayed with her in Fulu Hall. However, I suddenly had an upset stomach, so I asked the wet nurse, Hongchun, to watch over her. I went to the outhouse, and when I came back, I didn't see the young lady. As for the wet nurse, Hongchun..." Jianzhu said, glancing at Hongchun beside her, somewhat embarrassed to speak.
"What is Hongchun doing?" The Grand Princess slammed her hand on the table beside her and asked angrily.
"Grand Princess, spare my life!" Hongchun kowtowed repeatedly in fear.
It was a small full moon celebration that day, with people coming and going. Her husband took advantage of this opportunity to sneak into the mansion for a secret rendezvous with her.
She figured that since Jianzhu was just going to the outhouse, she would be back soon.
She only exchanged a few words with the man, which was fine.
However, since the two hadn't seen each other for a long time, her man, for some reason, started to touch her inappropriately in no time. The two of them were so passionate that they couldn't control themselves.
Unexpectedly, after returning from trimming the candle, instead of finding the young lady, he witnessed her making love with a man.
At this moment, she was so frightened that she didn't know what to do.
If she were to lose the young lady because of her momentary pleasure, she herself would be doomed.
"What is she doing?" the Grand Princess asked Hongchun coldly.
"This servant saw her doing that kind of thing with a man!" Jianzhu made no attempt to cover for Hongchun.
If the young lady were still alive, she would at most give her a warning, but she wouldn't report the matter. However, because of this, she lost sight of the young lady. She is guilty of this, but she can't bear all the blame.
"Guards, take him away and interrogate him thoroughly!" At the Grand Princess's command, men dragged Hong Chun away.
"Grand Princess, spare my life!" Hongchun was terrified and felt extremely regretful.
Upon hearing this, Jianzhu immediately knelt before the Grand Princess, terrified.
"At that time, were there any other people seen at Fulutang?" Gu Xiangnan asked, looking at Jianzhu.
"I didn't see anyone else in Fulu Hall," Jianzhu said after thinking for a moment, then shook her head.
“However, I think I heard the child’s voice,” Jianzhu said after thinking for a moment.
However, she could only hear the child's voice, but did not see anyone.
I'm not sure if I misheard.
"Children? Whose children came today? Go find them and ask if any of their children have been to Fulutang." The Grand Princess instructed the Seventh Granny standing beside her.
He was also carefully recalling in his mind whether he had seen any of the children who had come today.
"Mother, could those two children be Shaoting and Shaoyu?" Ruan Jingge thought of Gu Shaoyu's words today and had a slight doubt in her heart.
