Shui Sheng wiped away her tears and ran downstairs as fast as she could.
"Sui Sui!"
Be extremely careful!
Upon seeing Sui Sui appear in front of the teahouse, Shui Sheng panicked and missed a step while going down the stairs.
"I'm sorry, my brother mistook you for someone else. I apologize on his behalf."
Xiang Song took a step forward and reached out to catch Shui Sheng, who was about to fall.
Shui Sheng didn't appreciate his kindness. After regaining his footing, he glared angrily and said, "Your brother has gone too far. We were on the second floor. Is he blind? He kidnapped someone without saying a word. What's the difference between this and robbery?"
It looked just like an angry little lion.
"Sui Sui, did they bully you?"
Shuisheng glared at Xiangsong, then reached out and pulled Suisui over, patting Suisui's head and pinching her little arms and legs, checking her over from head to toe.
Seeing that Sui Sui was not injured, Shui Sheng hugged her tightly in his arms with lingering fear, patting her back and saying, "Don't be afraid, let's go home now."
"Don't cry, Shengsheng, I'm fine."
Seeing that Shui Sheng's clothes were soaked and his hand was still trembling as he held hers, Sui Sui cursed Xiang Yang eight hundred times in her heart.
When the onlookers saw that the child had been returned, they all criticized Xiang Song.
"Is a simple 'sorry' all you're going to do? Look how worried you've made that other guy's brother! Is this how you treat people?"
"Exactly! That's so unreasonable! They kidnapped the child without even asking any questions. What's the difference between that and snatching someone from a robbery!"
Everyone chimed in with their own opinions, and Xiang Song was so ashamed that he wanted to disappear.
Shui Sheng, fearing further complications, pulled Sui Sui along to thank the kind-hearted uncles and aunts, then quickly walked back.
Two small figures quickly disappeared into the crowd, and bowed to those who were criticizing Song Chao: "You are all right to criticize him. My brother has mistaken someone for someone else and was indeed too reckless. I will go back and teach him a lesson."
Xiang Song quickly disappeared into the crowd, leaving the scolding behind.
Soon, a large and a small figure could be seen not far ahead, holding hands and walking towards Jinxiu Street.
Shuisheng was so engrossed in talking to Suisui that he didn't notice anyone following him.
"Sui Sui, it's all my fault. Starting tomorrow, I will definitely practice harder and no one will dare to bully you again."
Shui Sheng felt extremely guilty. He sniffed and said in a muffled voice.
"Yeah! Sui Sui wants to learn kung fu too. Next time I see that big guy, I'll kick his butt."
"By the way, where did they take you? Why did they send you back? I don't quite believe what that big guy's accomplice said."
Sui Sui blinked her bright phoenix eyes and shook her head: "I don't know where it is. It's not far from the lion dance place. The walls are very high and the houses are very big. I saw a very handsome uncle who asked me who my mother was. I didn't tell him, and then he sent me back."
Shuisheng was completely confused and puzzled. Aunt Yue was a doctor who saved lives, and people were grateful to her. She certainly wasn't looking for trouble.
Could it be that the big guy really mistook someone for someone else?
Reaching the alley entrance, Sui Sui glanced in the direction of Jishetang and said to Shui Sheng, "Don't mention today's events when we get back. If Mother finds out, she'll be worried."
"Okay, I won't tell. Let's not sneak out anymore. When I grow up, we can go wherever we want, Sui Sui."
Shuisheng lowered his head and asked Suisui, "If I go back like this, will Senior Brother be able to tell anything?"
“Your eyes are as red as a rabbit’s. Uncle Nangong isn’t blind; he’ll definitely see something amiss.”
Looking at Shui Sheng's red eyes, Sui Sui felt a pang of sadness.
Feeling guilty and remorseful, I vowed never to be playful again.
"I'll walk in with my head down."
Shui Sheng secretly prayed that it would be Xu Dong's mother who opened the door.
The two knocked on the door, and sure enough, it was Xu Dong's mother who opened it.
"Oh my! Young masters, you're finally back! I heard a child was kidnapped on the street. Hope you weren't scared?"
Zheng opened the door, and Shuisheng ducked inside.
Sui Sui looked up at Zheng Shi with her signature smile and said in a childish voice, "I wasn't scared." The two of them ran back to the backyard in a flash.
Prince's Mansion.
Xiao Jingzhao wrote three secret letters in a row, and Xiangyang summoned several highly skilled guards.
After the letter was sent away, Xiao Jingzhao let out a long sigh of relief.
Seeing that his master was restless and kept looking outside, Xiangyang simply stood under the eaves outside the study.
I dare not hope for a reward for what I did today. I'll just be grateful if my master gets busy and forgets to punish me.
A faint whooshing sound rang in his ears. He looked up and saw Xiang Song leaping down from the wall.
Why didn't you come back through the main gate?
Xiang Yang only came to his senses after asking the question, and less than half an hour later, the gatekeeper saw Xiang Song return from outside.
It wasn't time for the gatekeeper to change shifts yet, and since the gatekeeper hadn't seen Xiang Song leave, he would definitely assume someone was impersonating Xiang Song and would inevitably drag Xiang Song to see his master.
Remembering being pointed at and scolded by everyone, Xiang Song glared fiercely at Xiang Yang, "Just wait and see what punishment you get!"
One sentence was enough to frighten Xiangyang so much that he dared not enter the study to serve him.
When Xiao Jingzhao saw Xiang Song return, he asked, "Where does he live?"
"Master, good news! Sui Sui is definitely Miss Jiang's son. He went to Jinxiu Street and is staying in a small courtyard in the alley behind the street."
Xiao Jingzhao raised his eyebrows slightly, "Did you see clearly?"
Xiang Song cupped his hands in greeting: "Your subordinate saw it clearly, that's right, the two of them even glanced at Jishetang when they entered the alley."
"Congratulations, Your Highness. The Prince's Mansion has a worthy successor. This is a great worry for the Princess Consort."
Outside the window, the sun suddenly shone.
He slapped his forehead, realizing he hadn't thought of that.
Hearing the conversation inside, my anxious heart gradually calmed down.
It's the master's child, that's good, then I won't have to be punished.
The eldest son of the Prince's mansion is unwell, and marriage arrangements have been delayed.
When the master gets busy, he is often not in the palace, and the princess's anxiety is of no use.
Although the eldest daughter of the family has reached marriageable age, she says she will wait until her brothers get married before discussing marriage.
That night, three dark figures darted out of the Prince's Mansion and headed straight for the back of Jinxiu Street.
In the garden, the shadows of the trees swayed, and the flowers on the branches exuded fragrance.
Under the moonlight, Shui Sheng swung the wooden stick in his hand with a whooshing sound.
"Shuisheng, stop practicing and go back to your room to rest. Sufficient sleep is essential for growing taller."
"Aunt Yue, I'm not tired." Shui Sheng put down the wooden stick in his hand and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
Sui Sui lazily leaned on Jiang Shuyue's shoulder, yawned, and said in a soft voice, "Sheng Sheng, we're not practicing today. Uncle Nangong said you can't become a fat man overnight. Let's take it slow, no rush."
Jiang Shuyue rubbed her face against Sui Sui's face and chuckled softly.
"You're usually so energetic, why are you sleepy today?"
"Mother, I want to grow up to be big."
Sui Sui wouldn't tell you that he needed to go to bed early because he was frightened today.
From a large tree outside the wall, several people heard everything that was being said in the courtyard.
The moonlight shone on the mother and daughter, casting long shadows on the ground.
After everyone in the garden had returned to their rooms, Xiang Song lowered his voice and said, "Master, it really is Miss Jiang, what should we do?"
