The snoring was so loud, and you could tell it was a grown man's snoring. Even if people outside couldn't see it, they could still confirm that there was a man in the room just by listening!
And it was a sleeping man!
Realizing this, Zhan Yunfu put the sobering soup down and rushed over to cover Fu Zhonghai's mouth and nose.
Fu Zhonghai woke up the moment his mouth and nose were covered. His muscle memory reacted faster than his brain. He instantly grabbed Zhan Yunfu's hand and then opened his eyes.
When Fu Zhonghai saw that the person in front of him was Zhan Yunfu, he was stunned. His memory came back to him. He stretched out his tongue and licked the palm of Zhan Yunfu's hand...
The wet and warm touch...Zhan Yunfu got goosebumps!
She withdrew her palm quickly, blushed, and muttered, "Your snoring is too loud..."
"What did you hear outside?"
"Finish your hangover soup first, and then you can go back later."
Fu Zhonghai came to his senses, let go of his hand, got up, drank the sobering soup in one gulp, and then turned around to apologize.
"I'm sorry. I tend to snore when I drink."
"Next time I come to your place, I will definitely not drink like this..."
While two people were whispering to each other, a nanny stumbled into Lady Cui's yard.
The nanny shouted in horror: "My Lord, this is terrible..."
Seeing her horrified expression, Cui Junjun shouted, "Speak properly! It's New Year's Day, what's the big deal?"
The maid was startled by the yelling, but she lowered her voice and reported: "There is snoring in the old lady's room, it sounds like... a man..."
Cui Junjun flatly denied: "What nonsense are you talking about? Are you deaf because of your age?"
"That's the snoring of a big dog that I asked someone to send to my lady today!"
Mammy: ???
is that so?
Haven’t you heard that the princess gave a big dog to the old lady?
And such a loud snoring sound clearly sounds like a man's...
But she didn't dare to refute it, and could only bow her head and admit her mistake: "Then I guess I heard it wrong..."
After a moment's thought, the nanny regretted: Even if she heard it, it was normal for the mistress to be unhappy with her making such a fuss on such an old night.
The nanny was sent back only after being warned not to talk nonsense.
Princess Cui rubbed her forehead and gave instructions to the nanny beside her.
"Go find someone and find a way to buy a big dog."
The nanny understood and said, "I will do it right away."
Cui Junjun reminded worriedly: "You have to be able to snore! The snoring must be loud..."
Nanny was very upset: "...I will do it right away."
For the reputation of Ningyuan Marquis' Mansion, the princess has really tried her best!
But the nanny was also puzzled: the old lady always attached great importance to her reputation and never made any mistakes, so what happened?
Is there really a man sleeping in the room?
After the nanny left, Princess Cui sighed: I don’t know what my mother-in-law’s plan is?
It seems like she has a close relationship with His Majesty. On New Year's Eve, His Majesty would secretly come to her house to see her. But this is not a solution for long...
I can buy a dog to fool people today, but how can I fool people in the long run?
If Your Majesty loses interest in my mother-in-law in the future, how should I deal with it?
Besides, Your Majesty will hold a beauty contest after the new year.
So many noble ladies from aristocratic families are eager to try and do their best to become queen.
Even here, some people came to inquire about the news deliberately, just because her son Ao Chengji was walking in front of the emperor, and they wanted to find out about the emperor's hobbies...
Even though my mother-in-law was once the apple of your majesty's eye, she is old now. If there were another younger and more beautiful woman by your majesty's side...
Princess Cui was a little worried.
Fu Chenan and Xiao Yingchun were taking the two little ones to the prince's bedroom.
Brother Wangwang was so tired from playing with the little wolf that he ate his fill and fell asleep.
Sister Miaomiao is not sleepy yet.
She sat quietly on the mat, talking to the cloth tiger hanging not far in front of her.
Seeing that their children were emotionally stable, Xiao Yingchun and Fu Chenan felt at ease and just let the adults talk about adults' matters.
The young prince and his wife didn't know that what Miaomiao saw in front of her was not a cloth tiger, but a crying little boy.
In such cold weather, the little boy was wearing thin clothes and had frostbite on his face and hands.
Sister Miaomiao reached out to touch him in confusion, but there was still some distance between them.
She wanted to coax the little boy: "Ah?" What's wrong with you?
The little boy seemed not to hear and continued crying, whimpering from time to time, “Mother… wuwuwu…”
Sister Miaomiao became anxious. She stretched out her hand forcefully and unexpectedly fell forward, suddenly falling in front of the little boy.
She stretched out her hand: Got it!
"Ah?" Why are you crying?
The little boy was shocked: in the cold and shabby cold palace, a baby in gorgeous clothes suddenly fell down, smelling of milk and wearing a golden collar around his neck...
"You, you, you...are you a ghost?"
Sister Miaomiao: “Ah?” What is a ghost?
The little boy stretched out his hand and pinched Miaomiao's face. It was soft, warm, and bouncy...
He choked up and asked, "Are you sent by my mother to pick me up? Am I going to die?"
Sister Miaomiao: “Ah?”
The little boy hugged Sister Miaomiao and started crying miserably: "Please take me away! I miss my mom..."
Sister Miaomiao was bewildered: “Ahhh…”
Xiao Yingchun was also confused. She poked Fu Chenan and asked, "Where's Miaomiao?"
Fu Chenan: "Isn't it on the mat... Eh? Where's Miaomiao?"
He looked around and found that Miaomiao was indeed not on the mat!
Where are the people?
Xiao Yingchun started to walk out the door: "Were we too engrossed in our conversation just now that Mammy came in and took Miaomiao away, and we didn't notice?"
Fu Chenan frowned: "Impossible!"
Although he said it was impossible, Fu Chenan still strode past Xiao Yingchun and opened the door of the bedroom.
"Did anyone come in just now?"
The maids on duty outside shook their heads: "No one has come in."
"Has anyone come out yet?"
“No one has come out yet.”
Fu Chenan grabbed Xiao Yingchun who was about to continue asking questions and said to the outside of the door: "Guard the door."
He turned around and went back to the bedroom and closed the door.
Xiao Yingchun broke free from his grip: "Why are you pulling me? Miaomiao is missing, don't you need to look for her?"
Fu Chenan sighed: "If my guess is correct, Miaomiao... traveled through time and space."
Xiao Yingchun's eyes suddenly widened: "This is impossible!"
But as soon as she said this, she realized: What's impossible?
If a son could suddenly disappear and run to Dadong Mountain to look for wolves, why couldn’t a daughter?
She became a little flustered: "She, she, she...where can she go?"
Is it dangerous?
She is only four months old. What if she encounters danger and she doesn't have time to come back?
Fu Chenan knew that he couldn't panic at this time, so he patted Xiao Yingchun's arm and said, "Don't worry, let's take a look around the bedroom first."
"Maybe the child crawled away somewhere?"
Xiao Yingchun didn't hold out any hope: "She can't crawl yet!"
Why is a baby who is only four months old crawling?
Although he denied it, Fu Chenan quickly started looking around.
Seeing this, Xiao Yingchun also hurriedly looked around.
Under the bed? No.
Under the table? No.
Under the stool? No.
Dressing table? Cabinet? Nooks and crannies? None...
Xiao Yingchun sat down on the chair, wanting to cry but unable to, "What sin have I committed..."
Fu Chenan pursed his lips: "Don't panic, it's useless to panic at this time."
"There's nothing we can do. We can only wait here. Wait for her to come back."
Xiao Yingchun looked at Fu Chenan pitifully: "Then tell me, how long should we wait?"
Fu Chenan: ...How would he know? (End of this chapter)
