Xiao Huaiqing asked, "What's wrong?"
Yuan Huaizhi said: [This person has a full forehead and noble bones. His biological father must have been a king, a general or a minister. How could he live in this servants' courtyard...]
Xiao Huaiqing frowned: "Do you know whether you can see it or not? His name is Luo Qingyu, he is my wet nurse's son, his father was a constable and died a long time ago."
Yuan Huaizhi didn't like anyone contradicting his story, so he sneered, "You can ask Zhang Qingcheng; he must have figured it out long ago. If his mother was just a wet nurse, then his father definitely wasn't a constable, unless that constable was someone very influential."
Seeing that he was so sure, Xiao Huaiqing said, "Okay, I'll check it out."
"Do you think this person can be of help to me?"
Yuan Huaizhi looked at Luo Qingyu again. Luo Qingyu seemed to have noticed something at this time. He put down the wooden barrel and turned around.
But he could only see Xiao Huaiqing, so he thought the prince wanted to see him about something, so he hurried forward and asked, "Prince, do you have something you need me to do?"
When Xiao Huaiqing saw that he came up to her without any disgust and with a hint of flattery in his eyes, he suddenly felt complicated.
But he quickly looked away and said coldly, "No."
Luo Qingyu scratched his head, smiled innocently and said, "Then I will not disturb you, Your Highness. Go to bed early and take care of yourself."
After Luo Qingyu left, Xiao Huaiqing asked, "How is it?"
Yuan Huaizhi said: [He is very loyal to you. When he walked towards you, he did not hesitate at all. His aura changed from being cold and harsh at the beginning to being gentle. He trusts you very much.]
【but……】
Xiao Huaiqing's eyes darkened, and he said unhappily: "But what? Explain it all at once."
Yuan Huaizhi said: [Although his life is precious, it is short. I am afraid he will not live past the age of thirty.]
Xiao Huaiqing said expressionlessly, "As a guard commander, he only encounters extremely vicious criminals when on missions. It's not surprising that he died young."
"But since you said he trusts me, it seems he really hasn't betrayed me. Once I find out more about his background, maybe he'll be of use."
Yuan Huaizhi did not say anything else. In fact, the moment Luo Qingyu walked over, a natural aura of nobility came over him. That aura was filled with a sense of righteousness, which made him almost unable to open his eyes.
This person's fate is more precious than Xiao Huaiqing's, but his luck... is far worse.
…
As soon as the sun rose, Nanny Wang started crying like she was mourning.
Luo Qingyu rushed over and advised, "Mom, please stop making a fuss. Something happened in the palace yesterday, and the prince hasn't recovered yet. If you make a fuss like this, he might get angry..."
Nanny Wang interrupted him: "So what if he's angry? Can't I speak up when I've been wronged?"
"He grew up drinking my milk. When I was taking care of you two, I always gave him my milk first, feeding him well. He grew faster than you and could walk when he was one year old."
"As for you, not only are you skinny, you also look sickly. At three years old, you were half a head shorter than him."
Luo Qingyu said helplessly: "But I'm pretty strong now, what's the point of you saying this?"
Nanny Wang cried, "Meaning? I've given him my whole heart and soul, treating him better than my own son. Isn't this meaningful?"
"I'm not saying he has to respect me and support me, but how can he let his wife bully me?"
"Wuwuwuwu... My old face, my heart, I'd rather die..."
Luo Qingyu was so anxious that sweat broke out on his forehead. He was worried that the Crown Princess would drive his mother out in anger.
Just then, Xiao Huaiqing arrived.
Luo Qingyu said embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, my lord. It's all my fault. I failed to persuade my mother."
Xiao Huaiqing raised his hand and said gently: "What does this have to do with you? I don't know the nanny's temperament yet. She just wants people to coax her and obey her."
"Go to the palace first and tell my mother that everything is fine in the mansion and ask her not to worry."
"Nurse here, I'm here to persuade her."
Luo Qingyu was flattered and said in disbelief, "How can I trouble you, my lord?"
Nanny Wang came up and pushed Luo Qingyu away: "Get lost, go find your princess quickly. The prince is my biological son."
Luo Qingyu's expression suddenly changed: "Mom, can you please stop talking nonsense?"
Xiao Huaiqing's face froze, and he felt a little indignant. He said calmly, "It's okay. You can leave first. Don't make a big fuss. When Bai Changshi comes, it will be difficult to talk to him in my current situation."
After hearing this, Luo Qingyu had no choice but to leave first.
But before leaving, he still said in a gentle voice: "Mother, stop it and don't cause trouble for the prince."
Nanny Wang snorted coldly and didn't care at all.
However, as soon as Luo Qingyu left, Xiao Huaiqing brushed off Nanny Wang's hand and said, "Nanny, who are you to claim to be my biological mother?"
"What will happen to me if others see what I said?"
When Nanny Wang heard this, a trace of hurt flashed in her eyes. Her expression was no longer stubborn. Instead, she said cautiously, "It's Nanny who is dumb and can't speak."
"That's not what Mammy meant. Mammy just feels wronged. After taking care of the prince for so many years, how come in the end... he is despised."
"Wuwuwu... Mammy didn't mean it. I'm sorry."
Xiao Huaiqing's eyes were filled with disgust, and he said impatiently, "Madam, you're old, so it's normal for you to not care about things. Don't you still get your monthly allowance? And you have a little maid to serve you, so why do you feel wronged?"
"Yingyue is the Crown Prince's Consort in the mansion. It's okay for her to handle it this way. If everyone makes a scene like Mammy, what kind of situation will this mansion be in?"
"If you really feel wronged, then just move out of the palace. Out of sight, out of mind, maybe things will get better."
