The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and Yuan Can didn't even dare to breathe deeply.
He originally wanted to seek excitement, so he deliberately let Liu come here to find him and the two of them flirted, but he didn't expect that the fool Yuan Ming would follow him and ruin his good thing.
Liu was a little scared at first, but after hiding under the quilt, she was not so scared anymore. In her opinion, Yuan Ming was just a fool and she could just fool him.
Yuan Ming had seen her and Yuan Can hugging each other before, and nothing happened.
"Aunt?"
Yuan Ming called out to Liu while searching for a place in the house where someone could hide.
When Yuan Ming wanted to lift the bed curtain, a little maid came rushing over.
"Second Young Master, the Duke has sent this servant to look for you."
Hearing this, Yuan Can in the quilt breathed a sigh of relief. After the fool Yuan Ming left, he had to hurry back to the front yard, otherwise the old man would not be able to find him and would send people to check on him, and his affair with Liu would be exposed.
He couldn't afford the consequences of the matter being exposed. The old man didn't like him very much in the first place. If he knew that he was having an affair with Liu, wouldn't his plan to be crowned as the crown prince be completely wasted?
He has been thinking about the position of the crown prince all these years, thinking that the position would be easily achieved when he came of age, but he is now twenty years old and his father has yet to mention it.
Recently, because Liu gave birth to a child, he took the opportunity to bring it up, and the old man agreed.
So all he needed was a tick from the emperor's red pen to become the crown prince.
"I don't want it," Yuan Ming's voice brought Yuan Can back to his senses.
"Second Master, please follow me to the front yard. If you run around everywhere, what if you bump into someone of honor?"
The maid looked troubled, and the Duke asked her to take Yuan Ming back to the front yard and put him next to his eyes before he felt relieved.
"Go back and tell Dad that I'm playing hide-and-seek and won't go out."
He hasn't found Liu yet.
"hide and seek?"
The maid thought he was just talking nonsense and said, "We can play hide-and-seek in the front yard. Would you like to go to the front yard with me?"
Yuan Ming kept shaking his head like a rattle, "Not good."
As he said this, he made a "hush" gesture and lowered his voice to the maid, "Auntie is playing hide-and-seek with me. She's hiding here. I'm going to look for her."
Before the maidservant could say anything, Yuan Ming grabbed her and took her outside.
When they reached the door, Yuan Ming muttered unhappily, "Don't bother me playing hide-and-seek."
Yuan Can and Liu, who were lying in the quilt, didn't hear any movement and thought the person had left. Just as they were about to get up, they heard footsteps again and the two of them instantly became as quiet as chickens.
…
The maid returned to the front yard, walked up to Duke Rong, whispered what had happened here, and then carefully stepped aside.
Duke Rong frowned after hearing this. Why would he go to his eldest son's yard while playing hide-and-seek?
No, Mrs. Liu was here just now. It must be the youngest son who was talking nonsense.
While he was thinking, a servant came over anxiously.
"My Lord, the young master is crying so hard, but I can't find Aunt Liu."
"Let the nurse coax her."
"It's no use for the wet nurse to coax me."
"Doesn't the young master usually stay close to the eldest master and let the eldest master coax him? Now that all the guests have arrived, the eldest master should be free."
The second wife, Yang, who was standing by, spoke up.
"Yes, find the eldest son."
I don’t know what’s wrong with the youngest son, he is very close to the eldest son, and when he cries, his comfort is not as effective as that of the eldest son.
"We've looked," the servant said anxiously, "but we can't find either the eldest master or Concubine Liu."
This sentence successfully made Duke Rong suspicious of what the maid had just said.
The younger son had told him before that he saw the older son and Liu hugging each other, but he didn't believe that the older son had such evil intentions. Moreover, Liu also said that she almost fell and Caner helped her up.
But now, all these factors combined made him feel cold all over.
Seeing that he looked unhappy, Yang asked with concern, "What's wrong, Duke?"
"It's okay, just take care of the guests first."
He wanted to see if it was a coincidence that the two of them disappeared together.
Before Duke Rong could stand up, he saw his youngest son holding Yu Yiluo and running towards him, complaining loudly.
"Dad, my elder brother and aunt bullied me."
[You two brothers are truly amazing. You're both good sons, always doing things that betray your father.]
[Oh, I originally just wanted to watch the show quietly, but now that you're howling, everyone knows about your family's scandal.]
When the Third Prince and his companions saw Yu Yiluo being carried towards them by Yuan Ming, they were afraid that she would fall to the ground, so they quickly stood up and tried to hug Yu Yiluo, whose hair was standing up in the wind.
"I won't give it to you," Yuan Ming hugged Yu Yiluo tightly, "This is the doll I picked up... Why do you want to... take it away?"
Yu Yiluo blew the loose hair on her forehead and looked very unhappy.
【This is a doll I picked up. 】
She had almost finished her melon and was about to go back to the front yard, but Yuan Ming came out of the house and grabbed her and ran towards her.
Before she even had time to react, Yuan Ming's movements were smooth and seamless.
"Ming'er, don't be rude to the Third Prince."
Duke Rong scolded, "Hurry up and give the little princess to the Third Prince. What if you hurt the little princess?"
Ming'er is a big guy, and the little princess looks small and like a porcelain doll. He is really worried about hurting Yu Yiluo.
"She doesn't feel any pain," Yuan Ming said, with no intention of letting go of Yu Yiluo. "I didn't use any force."
The doll is so beautiful, he won't hurt her.
"Put me down."
Yu Yiluo raised her hand and patted Yuan Ming's arm.
Yuan Ming looked as if he had discovered something rare, with a bit of stupidity in his eyes.
"You...you can speak?"
Yu Yiluo: “…”
He put Yu Yiluo down, and thinking of the complaint, he said angrily: "Dad, Auntie and Big Brother are playing hide-and-seek, and they won't... won't play with me."
"They were hiding under the covers," he said with a hint of pride, "but I found them. I said I wanted to hide with them, but they... they didn't want to."
He asked them to play hide-and-seek without him, and then he locked the door, which made them both very angry.
Yu Yiluo almost laughed out loud when she recalled the scene where Yuan Ming lifted the bed curtains and quilt and asked the two people in the quilt sincerely if he could play with them.
The other two were already on the highway, but he was still in Maka Maka.
The banquet in the front yard had already begun. When the guests who were eating heard this, they stopped picking up food and pricked up their ears to pay attention to the movements here.
Yuan Ming's few simple words revealed a lot of shocking information.
Which good concubine would hide in the same bed with a young master?
Duke Rong could no longer maintain the smile on his face. Ming'er had been quite noisy just now, and these people must have heard it, but everyone was eating, so he didn't want to chase them away.
"Everyone eat first, I'm going to take care of some housework."
After saying this, Duke Rong turned and walked towards the backyard.
Yuan Ming hurriedly caught up, and seeing that Duke Rong was obviously unhappy, he tugged at his sleeve.
"Dad, don't be unhappy."
Duke Rong couldn't blame him. He just looked at him and said nothing.
