"There is one more thing..." The aunt looked at Su Zhiruan hesitantly.
"What's the matter?" When Su Zhiruan raised her eyes, she saw the hesitant expression on the aunt's face. It was obvious that she had something to say but didn't know how to say it. She stood up and said, "Go ahead, aunt, just say whatever you want to say."
Seeing Su Zhiruan's calm expression, the aunt walked over and said to her, "Ruan Ruan... According to the news a few days ago, the man from the capital will arrive in Jiangnan soon, right here."
The one from the capital, of course, is not referring to someone else.
But, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Fu Huaichu.
Su Zhiruan clenched the teacup, then loosened it.
If she was the only one who met Fu Huaichu, she could get away with it, but if Fu Huaichu knew that they had two children, Zhezhi and Zheye would definitely be taken back to the palace.
"I see." Su Zhiruan pushed the teacup aside, his expression returning to its previous calm. "Do you have any definite news on when he will go to Jiangnan?"
"It should be a few days later," the aunt thought about it. She was not sure, but she knew it accidentally before, so she guessed, "It was the words from the four boys in the Beijing branch at that time. They just mentioned it in the letter to report safety. If the prince is coming, there will definitely be news from above. We don't need to worry for now."
Su Zhiruan frowned. If she really could come back after some time, it would be fine. If she came incognito now and accidentally saw the broken leaves and branches, then it would be her turn to have a headache.
* At this time, the street was bustling with people.
People were coming and going in a chaotic manner.
With the help of the old man selling candied haws, Zheye picked out a big, red candied haws and bought it, then handed it to Zhezhi, "Sister, this is for you to eat, as an apology for your sin."
"Brother, you eat too, it's very sweet." Su Zhezhi took a big bite, and her snow-white and soft little face puffed up. While eating, she gave her brother a big smile.
The two servants followed behind them, and after seeing this scene, they all showed sincere smiles.
The two children are twins, a boy and a girl. Su Zhiruan knows how to educate them. The two children are well-behaved and sensible. They will not cry or make a fuss when encountering problems. Even the servants like them love the young master and the young lady very much.
When passers-by saw these two children who looked very similar feeding each other candied haws, they stopped and secretly watched them. When many women with overflowing maternal love saw this scene, their eyes almost turned into heart shapes, and they even wanted to give them all the sachets and snacks in their hands.
"Would you like some snacks? I have some here, including steamed buns and braised pork." A woman couldn't resist the urge to feed the girl, so she wanted to pass some delicious food to Zhezhiye.
The other woman was not to be outdone, "Here are some even more delicious snacks. Do you like these two sugar figures? I'll give them to you."
Seeing more and more people stopping around, some people even recognized Zhezhizheye's identity.
"They are the pair of child prodigies! Su Zhezhi and Su Zheye! Right?" A man pointed at the two children and shouted as if he suddenly remembered something, "That's them, the child prodigies!"
"Ah?! Are they the legendary pair of child prodigies, boy and girl, that the young master is a disciple of a peerless master, is proficient in both literature and martial arts, has outstanding looks and talent, and the eldest daughter is extremely talented and can do accounts at the age of three? The housekeeper's twin prodigies!"
"There is no one else except them! I don't know what kind of god their mother is, to have raised two child prodigies!"
…
When Zheye and Zhezhi heard someone around them recognize them and saw their expressions becoming more and more excited, they all looked at each other.
"run!"
"run!"
The two children with short legs uttered this word at the same time, then held hands and ran towards the stairs.
They were so in sync that even their movements were coordinated, and they quickly ran out of the crowd.
Many people didn't react until they saw the two children and the servants who followed them leaving the place.
When I wanted to chase him again, there were so many people around that I couldn't get away at all, so I had to give up.
Zhezhi and Zheye were small, and after running a few steps, Zhezhi, the younger sister who did not practice martial arts, became out of breath. While running, she said, "Brother, why don't we take a break? We are so tired."
"Run a few more steps, or we'll be in trouble if we're recognized," Zhe Ye turned to look at his sister and pulled her to run faster, "If we're recognized, mother will know we've sneaked out to play."
"Then let's go back quickly!" Zhezhi thought of her mother and quickened her pace. The two little tufts of hair on her head were half-broken by the movement of running.
Just at this moment.
Zhezhizheye ran to a corner, and without thinking too much, they turned around -
"Bang--"
They suddenly bumped into two adults.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
They were just three-year-old children, and opposite them were two men, and they were almost knocked away.
At the critical moment, a man in a black robe quickly grabbed the collars of both of them and prevented them from falling.
“Brother——” Zhezhi was frightened, her beautiful big eyes were filled with tears. After she stood still, she looked at Su Zheye, “Wuwu, brother.”
"Brother is fine, are you okay?" After Zhe Ye was put down by the man, he hurriedly looked at his sister to see if she was injured.
"Master, are you okay?" said the servant behind the man in black.
"Nothing," the black-clothed man put the two children down, leaned over, and said calmly, "Whose children are you? You'll fall if you run around everywhere."
"Excuse me, sir," Zhe Ye, like a little adult, solemnly brought his sister behind him, and he bowed to express his apology, "I also want to thank you for protecting me and my sister in time. If you fell, mother would be worried."
"Brother..." Zhezhi hid behind his brother, biting his fingers, and looked up at the man in confusion, then looked at his brother in front of him, "Brother, you look alike to this adult."
She said it unintentionally, but almost within a second, the two men looked at Su Zheye at the same time, and the subordinates behind the man in black suddenly looked tense.
"No, my sister is just talking nonsense." Zhe Ye did not look at Fu Huaichu who was wearing black clothes. "We will leave first. Goodbye, both of you."
Fu Huaichu nodded slightly with a calm expression, and then let the two children leave.
After seeing the two children leave, the shadow following behind Fu Huaichu could no longer hold back. He immediately looked at Fu Huaichu, "Your Highness!!"
"These two kids..." Shadow almost shouted out.
The boy among the two children just now looks exactly like His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Anyone with eyes can basically see how similar they are.
This level of resemblance, even if the emperor and empress came, they would recognize them as the emperor's grandchildren! Fu Huaichu raised his hand to stop Shadow from continuing to speak, and said in a calm voice, "Follow him." (End of this chapter)
