Chapter 221 Her People Have Arrived
All the masters and servants of the Prince of Zhennan's mansion have returned to the capital, but before leaving, the prince instructed them to clean the mansion, saying that the young master would be returning soon.
Everyone in the Prince's mansion knew that the Prince's heir was not the two children born to the Princess, but the eldest son who had always stayed in the capital.
This eldest son is the son of the woman mentioned earlier; he's quite mysterious!
Today, Manager Mo suddenly delivered a little girl who was about one year old, and she was wearing a royal token—a double fish buckle.
What baffled everyone was the thought process of the entire Prince's Mansion.
If a child like Qiuqiu, whose origins are unclear and who carries a keepsake, suddenly appeared, people would be wary. But the people here not only don't pay attention, they practically worship Qiuqiu.
Although Yuanmu felt that the goddess deserved everything, she couldn't understand why something felt off...
Having always enjoyed special treatment, Chiu Chiu didn't realize anything was amiss. Her only thought now was to save people!
"Help! Help! Help! Help!"
She chirped and howled, waving her arms energetically, but unfortunately, no one responded to her calls.
The servants of the Prince of Zhennan's mansion chuckled, "What? Uncle? Miss is your uncle's daughter... Oh, cousin? Doesn't that mean she and the young master are childhood sweethearts?!"
"Childhood sweethearts, now even closer than family!"
Chirp: "???"
Why are the people here so difficult to communicate with!
With a wave of her small hand, she wished for the tree to be erected!
She has a spokesperson!
Yuanmu told Manager Mo, who had brought them there, that Qiuqiu's family had been captured by the Southwest Gu King, Naduohe, and concealed the matter of Hundred Flowers Village. Hundred Flowers Village was a special case; it couldn't be easily revealed to outsiders, no matter how friendly they seemed!
Manager Mo seemed to have some authority; he stroked his goatee, lost in thought. His hesitant expression made all three of them nervous, especially Qiu Qiu, who had no connections in the Southwest!
Everything depends on your own hard work!
[Waaaaah, please don't force me to beg!]
Shopkeeper Mo's voice was devoid of emotion. After a long pause, he finally spoke: "Na Duohe, the Southwest Gu King?"
Chiu Chiu nodded, blinked her big eyes, and crawled over to obediently hug Mo Zhanggui's leg, trying to soften his heart with her cuteness.
[Can you help Chuchu's family?]
Shopkeeper Mo couldn't hear Qiuqiu's inner thoughts, but Yuanmu felt sorry for her and picked her up, saying helplessly, "God, Qiuqiu also cares about her family. It's okay if you're having trouble, Shopkeeper. We'll think of another way."
We can definitely rescue them. At worst, we'll just have to fight it out. Why make yourself suffer like this?
Shopkeeper Mo smiled and stopped the two: "We, the Zhennan Prince's Mansion, don't even consider a cripple controlled by the Longevity Ointment a threat!"
[Longevity syrup?] Chirp blinks, [Can I eat it?]
Yuanmu covered Qiuqiu's ears, not wanting her to hear any more bad things.
The goddess is wise; let not the mundane world taint her.
"Shopkeeper, are you saying that Naduohe is absorbing longevity essence?"
Shopkeeper Mo nodded with a gloomy face, "That stuff has caused a lot of harm!"
Upon hearing the words "Yuanshou Ointment," everyone else present showed expressions of disgust, which greatly relieved Yuanmu. At least they weren't on Naduohe's side!
They clearly didn't want to bring up this unlucky thing. Manager Mo reassured Qiuqiu that they would find a way to rescue the person from Naduohe.
The discord between the Prince of Zhennan and the head of the Shao family was common knowledge throughout the southwest region. And Naduohe was a lackey of the Shao family; they would act even without Qiuqiu's help if he caused them trouble.
Even with the prince away, they will still make a name for themselves as the Prince of Zhennan! They want to show the people of Yuncheng that the Shao family doesn't rule the land alone!
"Manager Mo, a man and a woman have come outside. They say they want to see Qiuqiu?" The simply dressed, plump woman ran up, panting.
A man and a woman followed behind her. The man was tall and thin, dressed as a scholar, and looked to be in poor health; his face turned pale after walking a few steps. The woman was dressed in tattered clothes, like a beggar, and carried a sword that looked like it could defeat any beggar in a beggar's den.
"Miss Yun, slow down... wait, wait for me."
Yun Shuyue turned and glanced at him. "Little scholar, hurry up!"
Gao Wenyan wiped the sweat from his brow. It was unbearably hot here, and to make matters worse, he'd run into such an impatient general. The task His Highness the Crown Prince had given him was simply too difficult!
When Chiu Chiu saw the two of them, her eyes lit up. "Brother! Sister!"
Her connections in the Southwest have come together!
The little guy who was just isolated and helpless suddenly stood up straight!
"Ah! Hey!"
Yun Shuyue picked up Qiuqiu and kissed her, "Qiuqiu, you're finally awake!"
When they left, Qiuqiu was still unconscious. Seeing her lively and energetic state now, Yun Shuyue felt half relieved.
Yuanmu recognized the woman in front of him as the one who had been captured along with Nadohe; she had escaped.
The two nodded to each other but didn't say anything more.
Gao Wenyan caught up from behind and was overjoyed when he saw Qiuqiu. He was about to go up and greet her when Yun Shuyue slapped him, saying, "Men and women are different. You're not allowed to lay a hand on Qiuqiu!"
She hadn't hugged him enough yet, why was he trying to take it from her! How could someone be more annoying than Su Jinze!
"snort!"
While Yun Shuyue wasn't paying attention, Gao Wenyan hooked his finger with Qiuqiu's as a greeting.
Chiu Chiu: [Eh... Why isn't Brother Wenyan curious about my existence at all?]
Why didn't he ask me why I was here?
If he doesn't ask me, then I'm going to ask him!
Gao Wenyan was sent by the Crown Prince, so he naturally knew why Qiuqiu and the others were here. However, the Crown Prince ultimately underestimated the audacity of the Shao family in Yuncheng, Southwest. His guards were ambushed along the way, and in the end, only a dozen or so men escorted him to Yuncheng.
If he hadn't met Yun Shuyue, he probably would have died outside Yun City.
He wanted to see just how powerful the Shao family was that they dared to openly intercept and kill a first-class marquis and an official of the imperial court!
He took out a letter and approached Manager Mo: "Are you Mo Chunyu?"
"Yes, it's me. May I ask your name, sir?"
Gao Wenyan handed him the letter and whispered a few words in his ear. The man's expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly opened the letter and read it quickly.
After reading the letter, Manager Mo quickly destroyed it and became much more respectful to Gao Wenyan: "So it's Lord Gao. Please forgive my poor hospitality. I already know about the matter Your Highness has instructed. Rest assured, please feel free to give any orders, and the people of the Zhennan Prince's Mansion will fully cooperate!"
Yun Shuyue, holding Qiuqiu, whispered to her, "Where did Gao Wenyan come from? He seems pretty impressive."
Even if her grandfather came, he might not be able to command the people of the Prince of Zhennan's mansion. Wasn't it said that the Prince of Zhennan had long harbored disloyal intentions? Why is he so obedient to the Crown Prince?
Chirp puffed out its chest: "Chirp, awesome!"
She gave herself a thumbs up without any shyness; the person she had chosen was indeed extraordinary!
Yun Shuyue was amused, and the worries that had been weighing on her heart for the past few days dissipated somewhat. "You shameless little thing, what does Gao Wenyan's prowess have to do with you?"
[For those who don't understand ChiuChiu, he was chosen by me!]
She saved Gao Wenyan from taking many detours!
Gao Wenyan happened to look over and met the girl's bright smile. Before he could think, he blurted out, "She looks better when she smiles."
Yun Shuyue: "What?"
Chuchu: "Hehe~"
The little round-faced girl smiled at Gao Wenyan, revealing two tiny teeth.
Today is another bright and beautiful day for my baby!
