At this moment, the inn was quiet due to the strict security.

Because it was an official inn, the arrival of Zong Zheng Xiaoting and others was also for safety reasons. And since they had known about the princess's marriage a long time ago, naturally there would be no other officials and their families staying in the inn.

The surroundings were so quiet that it was almost oppressive, but Zong Zheng Xiaoting still felt that something was amiss.

Thinking of the number of people who had just entered the guest inn, Zong Zheng Xiaoting frowned slightly, just glanced at Qingqing, and walked out of the house. She walked lightly towards the residence of the owner of the guest inn.

Qingqing looked anxious and could only follow hurriedly.

The side courtyard is where the owner of the inn lives, and as Zong Zheng Xiaoting walked along, he saw fear in everyone's eyes.

While looking around, a woman seemed to have gotten rid of something and suddenly ran to Zong Zheng Xiaoting, "Please, Princess, spare my poor daughter."

Frightened by the old woman who suddenly burst in, Zong Zheng Xiaoting took several steps back with palpitations.

Before he could say anything, Qingqing rushed out and started to scold him loudly, "You bold servant, can you bear to disturb the Second Princess? Do you know that the Second Princess is the most beloved princess of the Emperor? This marriage has already..."

"Shut up!" Zong Zheng Xiaoting frowned and scolded Qingqing. Qingqing's behavior seemed very strange no matter how he looked at it.

"Princess!" Qingqing looked aggrieved and wanted to say something, but Zongzheng Xiaoting gave her a cold look and she swallowed the next words. She lowered her head and twisted her hands nervously, and her body couldn't help but lean towards the right arch.

Zong Zheng Xiaoting lowered his eyes, feeling unhappy. Qingqing was so scared that she wanted to escape. He turned to look at the shivering old woman on the ground. She looked to be in her forties, but time had not been kind to her. Her hair was already gray.

"You, raise your head." Zong Zheng Xiaoting stared at the old woman on the ground and said condescendingly.

"Yes..." The old woman bit her lip tightly, suppressed her fear, and looked at Zong Zheng Xiaoting.

"You just said that you want me to let your daughter go? Hmm?"

"Yes..." Although the old woman was afraid, there was reluctance and almost invisible hatred in her eyes.

Zong Zheng Xiaoting glanced at Qingqing, then looked at the old woman. She had just moved into the inn today and was so respectful. How come she had changed so drastically in such a short time? I'm afraid it has something to do with Qingqing. Or maybe, as Doctor Chen and the others said, she had been prepared for this?

"All of you, step back." Zong Zheng Xiaoting stood with his hands behind his back and ordered the people following him.

"This..." Qingqing hesitated, "The princess is alone, Qingqing is afraid that the princess will be in danger."

"Since I am confident, there is no need to say more. Everyone, please leave." Zong Zheng Xiaoting reiterated with a stern face.

Under the pressure of Zong Zheng Xiaoting, Qingqing could only lead everyone to retreat, and the old woman kneeling beside her also looked at Zong Zheng Xiaoting tremblingly and anxiously.

"Please get up." Zong Zheng Xiaoting softened his tone and looked at the old woman with a happy face.

The sudden cheerful expression made the old woman in disbelief. She froze in place for a long while. Then, under Zong Zheng Xiaoting's encouraging smile, she hurriedly said, "Thank you, Princess! Thank you, Princess!"

"Mother-in-law, please get up and talk." Zong Zheng Xiaoting gently helped the old woman up from the ground. "I want to know why you kept begging me for mercy and asking me to let your daughter go."

Zong Zheng Xiaoting had guessed most of the old woman's behavior.

When the guest came in, the old woman had a daughter who was always by her side, supporting her. But at this moment, she was nowhere to be seen, but she was begging me to let her daughter go in such a hysterical way. It was already strange, and Qingqing's behavior.

Sure enough, in the old woman's eyes, Zong Zheng Xiaoting saw an incredible expression towards his words.

"The princess said, the princess doesn't know?" Seeing Zong Zheng Xiaoting's amiable expression, the old woman was no longer afraid of the royal majesty, and she also secretly held out hope for Zong Zheng Xiaoting's confusion.

Or was it someone under the princess's command who acted on his own initiative? In that case, his daughter would be saved.

Thinking of this, the old woman suddenly knelt down again.

"Please, Princess, don't take my daughter to Yunguang Kingdom!"

Cloud country!

Is that really the case?

Zong Zheng Xiaoting's heart tensed, but he pretended to be calm on his face, "What do you mean? Why do I feel more and more confused the more I listen? Why do I want to take your daughter to Yunguang Country?"

Surprise flashed in the old woman's eyes for a moment. Her eyes were full of expectation, as if she had grasped a life-saving straw. "Today, several people came and said that the princess was going to marry in Yunguang Country. The journey was lonely. The farther away she was, the more she missed her home. She was afraid that Yunguang Country was dangerous and unpredictable. Seeing that my daughter was filial and clever, they wanted her to obey the order and accompany the princess... Then... Then my poor daughter left me. Princess, wasn't it the princess's will?"

It is true!

Zong Zheng Xiaoting was so upset. Qingqing and the others were acting this way because they wanted to take someone else's place, right? Natural disasters and man-made disasters are indeed the best way to escape, but in any fire, people will die and their bodies will be left behind. If I die in a fire and there is no body, I'm afraid it will be difficult to explain. So, Doctor Chen and Qingqing fell in love with the daughter of the owner of the inn, right?

What he said about accompanying me to get married was nothing more than finding a scapegoat, that's all!

Whenever he thought of the living life that was burned to death because of his escape from the marriage, Zong Zheng Xiaoting's anger and unhappiness surged rapidly.

"So that's how it is!" Zong Zheng Xiaoting touched his chin and said casually, "Get up, it's just a misunderstanding."

"misunderstanding?"

"Today, I saw that your daughter was extremely filial, so I praised her a few words. It happened that the owner prepared a meal for me, which made me think of my mother and sigh a few words. I guess my maid misunderstood my intention and took the initiative to bring your daughter to my side." Zong Zheng Xiaoting tried his best to cover up the recklessness of Qingqing and others.

The old woman was overjoyed when she heard this and asked tentatively, "So the princess doesn't want my daughter to be by her side?"

"Leaving one's homeland is sad in itself. I have already left my homeland for the sake of the country, bringing so many people with me. Why should I add to the suffering of others? Later, I will ask someone to send your daughter back. Can you rest assured, mother-in-law?"

"Thank you, Princess!" The old woman was about to kneel down, but Zong Zheng Xiaoting stopped her. She patted the back of the old woman's hand soothingly and left gracefully.

As soon as he stepped out of the archway, Qingqing came to greet him anxiously, but at the cold gaze of his master, he lowered his head uneasily.
