Chapter 443 He is the only one who knows the truth
“Hehehe!”
"Ehehehehehe!"
"Haha, puhahahaha! Ehehehe!"
In the flower hall of the princess's mansion, an old man sat cross-legged on the windowsill, laughing so hard that he was staggering from side to side.
For the entire morning, this strange laughter was heard in every corner of the princess's mansion, which was like a devilish sound piercing the brain.
Everyone in the flower hall who had just finished breakfast held their foreheads with their hands and their mouths twitched.
"What's wrong with the old man? He's been laughing all morning and still can't stop. It's creepy!" Little Wheat Ear took a big sip of tea to calm himself down. Turning around, he saw the old man had collapsed on the windowsill laughing, "..."
Bing'er frowned tightly and tugged at her sister's sleeve worriedly. "Sister, could it be that Poison Grandpa has been poisoned by his own laughing powder? Please help Poison Grandpa detoxify him, he's laughing so hard that he can't breathe!"
Without waiting for Tianbao to answer, Su Wu burst out laughing, "Bing'er, have you forgotten what Grandpa Poison is called? He is immune to all poisons, even the most poisonous ones can't do anything to him, how could he possibly be a laughing powder, hahaha!"
Su An and Su Wen also laughed. Bing'er realized that she had said something stupid and covered her face embarrassedly.
"You've been laughing all morning. Can you please stop laughing and give me some peace and quiet?" Bai Xiaofeng was also annoyed and picked up a crisp fruit and threw it at the old man's back.
The old man seemed to have eyes on his back. He dodged by leaning over, "Hehehe! Ehehehe!"
Bai Xiaofeng pinched his brows and squeezed his eyes shut. "What good stuff did this old guy steal last night?"
"I didn't steal." Tian Bao suppressed a laugh, picked up the crispy fruit on the round table and placed it on the windowsill, letting the old man eat while he was laughing. "Grandpa Du only looks for medicinal herbs. If he really stole something from someone's house, he would show it off. He looks more like he's encountered something funny."
After she finished speaking, she patted the old man's shoulder from behind and said, "Grandpa Du, stop laughing for a while. When Bai Yu comes out, we'll leave."
Du Buqin then turned his head around, his whole body twitching like he was having a seizure. "Jeh! Stop, I can't stop, hehe! Don't tell me, talk, this old man can't control himself, hahahaha!"
Tianbao, “…”
The morning had passed, but the sky outside did not brighten up at all; instead, it was getting darker and darker.
Dark clouds gathered over the imperial city and began to press down, with a sign that a storm was about to come, making the light at the other end of the sky appear eerily white.
"It's getting dark. I guess it's going to rain soon. Why are we so late? Can we still leave today?" Su An climbed onto the small couch, leaned his upper body on the windowsill, took the crispy fruit that the old man had been holding but hadn't had time to eat and put it in his mouth. "If it really rains, I don't know what the situation will be like on the canal. It will be difficult to sail."
"If we can't leave today, we can leave tomorrow. If we can't leave tomorrow, we can wait until the weather clears up. We're not in a hurry." Du Buqin finally suppressed his laughter and said seriously, "Isn't Xiling under martial law everywhere right now, searching for the Iron Man? Maybe we can wait a day or two and watch the excitement again."
Immediately, the old man's shoulders couldn't help shaking again, "Hehehehe!"
Su Wen had squeezed in at some point and peeked out to see the sky. The windowsill was completely packed with three people. "Let's leave sooner rather than later. The longer we delay, the more reluctant the old lady will be. What will we do then?"
The eldest princess is fifty years old but looks like a sixty-year-old woman, and her spirit and appearance are even more vicissitudes of life than that of my grandmother.
Every time I see her treating Bai Yu with such love and care, as if she were holding a piece of fragile porcelain, it makes me feel uncomfortable.
Do not fall into intolerance.
After all, fake is fake, it is impossible to deceive her forever.
I can't accompany her forever.
"Oh, what's the big deal? Just leave. Aren't legs for walking? Besides, if you leave today, you can come back tomorrow. Just come back when you miss me." Du Buqin smiled, his triangular eyes narrowed into slits. "Bai kid is at the age when he is full of vigor and vitality and should go out and explore the world. Even if his mother were here, he can't stay in the mansion all his life and never go anywhere, right? Wouldn't that make him a spoiled young man raised in the boudoir? What nonsense? How can he have a future like that?"
He alone knows the truth.
We are really close, hahaha! Blood ties can’t be severed! No matter where the children go, they are still family, right?
Although the old lady is hysterical, as long as she is not stimulated, her mind is actually very clear and she will figure it out!
The darker the sky above, the brighter the horizon. A strong wind began to blow outside the window, the window blades creaked and swayed, and the cannas under the windowsill kept bending.
At this time, Feng Hongqiang hurried in from outside the flower hall. Before she even entered the door, she urged, "Hurry, leave now! My cousin is waiting for you at the door! My mother is holding my aunt at Yinfeng Garden, but it won't be long. If she can't find my cousin, my aunt will start looking everywhere for him!"
She was so anxious that no one in the hall dared to say a word. They immediately rushed towards the door, and the whole place was in chaos.
As he was running, Du Buwei realized that he was so frightened that he forgot to breathe. "...Oh my god, even when my grandfather was chased and bombarded by the Bai guy with a siege crossbow, he wasn't this nervous."
The younger ones rushed around, using the wind as if they were about to fly. "Who wouldn't be like that? We've been out there for so many years, and we've seen all sorts of storms and waves. You were so panicked the first time you ran!"
“…”
Feng Hongqiang, who had been chasing after them hard and wanted to give them a ride, was neither able to laugh nor cry when she heard these words.
There was already a carriage waiting in front of the princess's mansion gate, ready to set off as soon as they arrived. It went without saying that it must have been prepared by the second princess.
Bai Yu sat at the front of the carriage, watching his companions rush out one by one and pulling open the curtains for them.
The next moment, the carriage was filled with people like dumplings in a pot.
When Feng Hongqiang arrived breathlessly, the carriage was about to turn out of the alley.
She suddenly lost her strength and slowly slid down to sit against the vermilion door frame, staring blankly towards the alley entrance, her eyes gradually turning red.
My cousin is gone.
Still left.
In the carriage, everyone, who had been nervous for a while, breathed a sigh of relief after getting out of the alley.
"We finally got out," Su Wu leaned out of the car window and looked back. "No one is chasing us. It seems the princess doesn't know we left yet."
Then he retracted his head and leaned against the carriage, feeling a little depressed. "This is strange. It should be a happy thing, but why can't I be happy?"
"I just feel uncomfortable." Su Wen sighed, leaned on someone's shoulder and looked at the roof of the carriage, and then he didn't say anything.
Just now, everyone was pushing and shoving each other to grab a small space, but now it suddenly became quiet and the atmosphere seemed depressing and weird.
The carriage left the alley and entered the street, and the noise outside followed.
Bai Yu lifted the car window curtain and stared at the street scene outside in a daze.
A heavy rain was approaching, and street vendors hurriedly packed up their newly set-up stalls. Shops along the street also hurriedly took back the goods displayed at their doorsteps. Pedestrians quickened their pace against the wind to find a place to shelter from the rain.
There was chaos everywhere.
Strong wind blew into the car windows, making it impossible to open one's eyes. When Bai Yu was about to lower the curtains, a familiar figure suddenly flashed across his field of vision.
His hand that was lifting the curtain froze, and his peach blossom eyes slowly narrowed. "Stop the car."
