Chapter 196 Suspected of having seen it before
Liu Jiaojiao shouted loudly, but the two people in front did not hear it.
Instead, the servant who was driving the carriage hurried over and stopped in front of the two people.
"Stop! Didn't you hear my wife calling you?"
Yu Niang was so scared that she held her daughter's hand tightly, "This master, we didn't do anything!"
The two were still taken to the teahouse next door by Liu Jiaojiao.
Both of them were in such a high-end place for the first time, and they were particularly nervous.
Yu Niang knelt down with a thud, and held Qiao'er's hand without even looking up: "Madam, spare my life, I didn't do anything!"
Liu Jiaojiao stood up, walked to Yu Niang's side, and gently helped her up.
"Don't worry, sister. I just want to ask you something!"
Yu Niang shrank her neck in fear, her voice trembling: "Madam, please ask..."
"Just now in the carriage, I heard your daughter say that she seemed to have met the little princess? When?"
Yu Niang's heart skipped a beat and she regretted it very much.
She knew that she should control her daughter's mouth and not let her say anything.
"Madam, my daughter is still young, she doesn't know anything! With our status, how could we have met the little princess?"
"Madam, my daughter just said nonsense, I'm sorry!"
The woman was so scared that her body was shaking, but her hands were tightly holding the little girl's shoulders.
Seeing her like this, Liu Jiaojiao knew that she was worried, and hurriedly said: "Don't worry, sister. In fact, I am the same as you. I am also a mother! My daughter is missing, and I have been looking for her for a long time, but there is still no news. You are also a mother, sister, you should understand my feelings, right?"
The woman hesitated: "Madam, who are you?"
Liu Jiaojiao nodded: "The little princess is my daughter! I just don't want to miss any news about my daughter. Sister, if you have ever seen my daughter, can you tell me?"
"Don't worry, whether the news is useful or not, I will reward you!"
The woman lowered her eyelids, her voice low: "Reward is not a big deal, Princess, I understand your feelings, but I really haven't seen the little princess!"
"Look, this is the portrait of the little princess. Do you have any impression of it?"
Old Lady Liu took out Yuan Baobao's portrait and turned it in front of the little girl.
The little girl stared at it with her eyes fixed. After a while, she asked uncertainly:
"Mother, I think I really have seen the little princess!"
The little girl still insisted on her initial idea.
The woman sighed: "Qiao'er, look carefully, have you really seen the little princess? You seem to be with mother all the time, mother has no impression!"
The little girl frowned, as if thinking about something.
Liu Jiaojiao was anxious. Her daughter had not been back to Beijing for a long time and usually did not go out.
Even if she occasionally came out, there would be people around her.
Seeing that the woman and the little girl were dressed simply, the possibility of their intersection was very small.
But she still wanted to get news about her daughter.
Old Madam Liu was secretly worried.
Gu Panpan opened her mouth and said, "You..." But Liu Jiaojiao raised her hand to stop her, "Don't..."
Liu Jiaojiao wanted to ask her to think about it carefully. What if she really saw it?
After a long while, the little girl finally spoke, "I remember, mother, do you still remember the night of the Lantern Festival?"
The woman frowned, but nodded her head.
"You had to do embroidery work that day, so you asked me to wait outside!"
The woman nodded. She still remembered this incident.
"I remember there was a carriage next to the embroidery manor at that time. There was a little girl near the carriage. She should be the little princess."
When Liu Jiaojiao heard that it was the Lantern Festival, her whole body tensed up.
She didn't expect that someone actually saw her little princess that afternoon.
"Then what?"
Liu Jiaojiao was extremely anxious, her voice full of excitement.
The little girl was frightened and took a step back, but the woman stepped forward and coaxed her gently: "Qiao'er, are you sure that child is the little princess?"
The little girl shook her head: "She looked very similar. Her face was dirty at the time, and she was wearing a pink dress with several butterflies embroidered on it!"
Liu Jiaojiao looked excited: "It was the baby! She was wearing a dress embroidered with butterflies that day!"
"Qiao'er, then did you see where the little group leader went?"
The woman was also very anxious.
"She seemed very hungry at the time, so I gave her a piece of dried sweet potato! Mother, it was the dried sweet potato you made for me, and I gave one piece to my little sister."
"Then I heard you calling me, so I ran over. When we came back, the little sister was gone, and the carriage was gone too!"
Liu Jiaojiao's face turned pale. The little girl had just said that her daughter should have been free at first.
But where did she go later?
"Qiao'er, now that you mention it, I remember it. You were looking around for something. I asked you, and you said it was okay!"
Qiao'er shook her head: "Mother, I know it's not easy for you to raise me, and I don't want to worry you!"
Liu Jiaojiao asked hurriedly: "Which embroidery shop are you talking about? Where is the carriage you saw parked?"
The woman hurriedly said: "Princess, how about I take you there to have a look!"
Liu Jiaojiao looked excited and thanked the woman repeatedly.
But the woman smiled shyly: "Princess, sometimes children don't remember things very clearly. It's not certain whether it's the little princess!" There was still
uneasiness in the woman's eyes.
She knew the princess's mood as a mother, and she was even more afraid of misleading the people who were looking for her in the palace.
If her information was inaccurate and delayed the search...
Liu Jiaojiao grabbed her arm and said, "I feel it must be my baby! Big sister, thank you. Whether you can find my daughter or not, we in Prince Yi's Mansion will thank you!"
The woman shook her head quickly, "Princess, I'm not doing this for money. I'm also a mother and I understand your feelings. It's my honor to help you find the little princess!"
When Liu Jiaojiao arrived at the door of the embroidery shop, she also saw the inn not far away.
According to the little girl's memory, the carriage should be parked in front of the inn.
Liu Jiaojiao hurriedly led people in, and she didn't forget to ask someone to go back and inform Prince Yi.
The woman's intuition was that the child must be her daughter. Her daughter was related to the carriage.
Prince Yi was nearby and brought his people here very quickly. This small inn had never seen such a scene before.
When the inn owner heard that the little princess might be related to their guest, he was so scared that he almost fell to his knees.
Prince Yi frowned and asked, "Whose carriage did the other night belong to?"
The innkeeper frowned and thought, looking embarrassed, "Your Highness, there are too many people coming and going in the inn, and because of the Lantern Festival, the flow of customers is even greater. Generally, when people come to stay, they are not asked about their origins!"
"I'll ask the waiter!"
