Chapter 335 Let's go to the capital together

Yinduo bit her lip and shook her head.

"Your Excellency, my father will not let me leave easily."

“Sister Yinduo, as long as you agree, everything else is not a problem.” Daiyu’s eyes were firm. Although she had just met Yinduo, she felt that this sister was destined to be her friend.

Perhaps it's just a matter of first impressions!

The connection between people is something that cannot be forced.

When she lived in the Rongguo Mansion, Xue Baochai repeatedly tried to befriend her, even suggesting that their situations were similar and they must have a lot in common.

But Daiyu always felt something was off. She didn't think she had anything in common with Xue Baochai. Her father was fine, and she didn't have a spendthrift brother. How could she be in a similar situation to Xue Baochai?

“Princess Lin, I…” Yin Duo choked up a little. Life on the grassland was not easy for her. Her mother barely protected her for six years before passing away. After that, no one cared for her anymore.

That's why she values ​​Liu Zhentao's life-saving grace so much, even to the point of wanting to repay him with her life.

“Sister,” Daiyu gently grasped her hand, “would you agree to come to the capital with me?”

"I'll go to the capital with you." Yin Duo's eyes glistened with tears. After saying these words, she suddenly felt exceptionally calm and at peace, as if it were the only thing she should do.

"That's wonderful!" Daiyu exclaimed, looking at the child, and then suggested...

"Granny, why don't we let Sister Yinduo stay here? It's the same if someone else sends the child over. Otherwise, if the Second Prince sees that we want to take Sister Yinduo away, he might detain her again."

“You’ve become quite shrewd. Don’t worry! We’ll bring Yinduo back to the capital openly and honestly, leaving no room for criticism.” Yuan Hongqu looked at Daiyu with affection. “Take your sister Yinduo to play. Since you have such concerns, I’ll go by myself this time.”

Yuan Hongqu herself couldn't tell whether she loved the girl because of her love for her, or whether she pitied and admired the young girl Yin Duo.

She had always intended to cultivate this young girl, and seeing that Daiyu and Yinduo got along very well, Yuan Hongqu felt that this girl was even more pleasing to the eye.

Yinduo handed the child back to Granny Shi and went out with Daiyu.

Lan Su hadn't expected things to turn out this way, but she didn't say much and quietly followed the two girls out.

Yinduo had never felt so at ease since she was old enough to understand.

Although she was the daughter of the Second Prince, the Second Prince hardly remembered that he had such a daughter. Moreover, when she was born, the people in the tribe took a look and said that she did not look like a grassland person and could not take their grassland surname.

The Second Prince had other daughters besides her, but for other reasons they were not given the surname Wu, which is not surprising.

Yinduo took her mother's surname, Chen, and her given name was also given to her by her mother, Chen.

Although Chen Yinduo was born on the grassland, she could never get used to the dairy products or the roasted meat there. When she was little, her mother would always secretly make some Han Chinese food for her. She ate it without any problems, but whenever she ate grassland food, her stomach would feel uncomfortable.

However, it was extremely difficult for the Han people to obtain food on this grassland.

It's a miracle that Chen Yinduo didn't starve to death at her age.

Tonight, the table full of Han Chinese food made Chen Yinduo suddenly wonder if she should have gone to the capital a long time ago.

However, he immediately realized that although he was a grassland dweller, he did not even own a horse and did not even know which direction the capital was. How could he possibly go to such a faraway place?

"Sister Yinduo, these are all dishes that I usually eat at home and find delicious. Try them and see if you like them. If you don't like them, we also have roast meat, milk tea, and pilaf. Please feel free to eat them."

Daiyu pulled Yinduo to sit at the dining table. She ate with a smile, feeling healthy and able to eat whatever she wanted.

However, perhaps due to a habit formed from childhood, Daiyu still preferred light and simple food. As for the greasy roasted meats on the grassland, she was content with just trying something new.

"Princess Lin, I can't eat barbecue or drink milk tea. I feel unwell after eating these things," Chen Yinduo admitted.

“A few years ago, someone found out about my problem and forced me to drink milk. I developed a rash for three days.”

"Quickly remove all of these. My nanny said that some people's constitution is such that they can't eat dairy products." Daiyu hurriedly ordered people to remove all the dairy products from the table.

She never expected that Yinduo would expose her weaknesses to her so soon after they met.

Others might not understand, but Daiyu certainly did. This was a dairy allergy, which could cause rashes in mild cases and death in severe cases!

Daiyu watched as the kitchen staff checked the dishes again, removing the custard buns and other items before sitting down again.

Although they were removed, there are still quite a few.

When the kitchen staff saw that many dishes had been removed, they assumed that the dishes were not to the young lady's liking. Xiangtao came over to check and soon added more dishes, filling up all the empty spaces.

"Are we the only two people eating here?" Chen Yinduo asked, noticing that only the two of them were sitting at the table while everyone else was standing.

“Yes, they’ve all eaten.” Lin Daiyu said dismissively.

Zijuan, Xueyan, and the others took turns going to eat, and would never serve Daiyu on an empty stomach.

Daiyu didn't have the habit of sharing her leftovers. After she finished eating, the kitchen staff would come and collect the leftovers. What to do with them was the kitchen's business.

"Sister, please eat in peace," Daiyu urged again.

"Shouldn't we wait for the dean?"

"No need, Granny's mealtime has already passed. Granny doesn't eat these things outside of mealtimes," Daiyu explained while urging Yinduo to eat.

"Where are Brother Liu and Sister Liu?"

“They’re eating at home. After dinner, we’ll go for a stroll at her house,” Daiyu said, thinking Yinduo was worried about Lin Zhentao.

Yinduo then picked up her chopsticks.

The Liu siblings had already eaten dinner. The Liu family doctor took Liu Zhentao's pulse, examined his old injuries, and then arranged for him to have a medicinal bath.

Liu Zhentao's health has deteriorated considerably in recent years. If it weren't for Liu Qianrou's arrival, he might have fallen seriously ill due to his weakened condition. With limited medical resources here, it's uncertain whether Liu Zhentao could have survived.

On the other side, Yuan Hongqu delivered the child to the Second Prince's yurt.

When the Second Prince heard from his servants that Lord Yuan was coming to visit, he couldn't help but feel uneasy.

This wasn't the first time he had met Yuan Hongqu; he had seen this formidable woman before when he visited the palace in previous years.

This woman is amazing. She can make the entire court argue for three days and three nights just by raising a single question in court.

Why would this woman come looking for me?

Even if there are questions about tomorrow's arrangements, anyone can be sent over; there's no need for her to come in person.

The Second Prince, with a shameless grin, came out to greet Yuan Hongqu.
