Chapter 427: Is this child related to the princess?
On the way back to Huaijiang, I always felt that there were beautiful scenery everywhere and the air was particularly sweet. On the way back to Beijing, I just wished I could arrive today and had no time to look at anything else.
"My dear, are you worried about your grandmother?"
Originally, Liu Sheng was supposed to ride in the same car with Aunt Cuiping, but the old lady thought he was cute and let him get in her car. Perhaps it was because old people and children were born to get along with each other. The old lady liked him more and more and wished he was her own great-grandson.
Liu Sheng was not afraid of the old lady. He blinked his big eyes and listened to the stories the old lady told him. When he heard something happy, he smiled with his eyes and eyebrows curved. The old lady was so fond of him that she wanted to take him home and raise him herself.
When they arrived at the post station that day, the old lady couldn't hold on any longer and lay down on the bed to rest. Liu Sheng sat obediently on the edge of the bed, and the fat boy held the old lady's hand, "Grandma, I won't die."
The old lady was stunned for a moment, then burst into tears, "Grandma is not dead, she is just tired."
Xin An came in and saw that the old lady was still crying, so he stepped forward quickly and said, "Grandma, what's wrong with you? Where does it hurt? I'll ask the court doctor to take a look."
"Need not."
The old lady said that it was the child's innocent words that softened her heart. "This child is so good. I don't know whose child it is. I wonder how sad the family would be if he died like this."
Xin An glanced at Liu Sheng and said, "This kid is hiding something. His family is probably in the capital. I didn't hear his Beijing accent."
"If he doesn't want to talk about it, forget it. We can bring him to entertain our grandmother. If no one wants him, we can take him home and raise him."
The old lady touched Liu Sheng's chubby little hand lovingly, "This boy looks a bit like someone to me, but I can't remember who."
"Aunt Cuiping also said that he looked familiar, but he couldn't remember where she was. If he can't remember where she was, then forget it."
Chunyang brought in the food, and Xin An helped the old lady get up and eat something before lying down. "Father said we should take a rest tomorrow and leave the day after tomorrow. Grandma, eat something and lie down and have a good rest."
The old lady really felt a little overwhelmed, "Why don't you let your father go first?"
Xin An meant the same thing. The convoy without Tang Mo was a completely different story. Tang Gang was only concerned with getting on the road and didn't make any proper arrangements for the journey. Not to mention the old lady, even she felt overwhelmed. Her mother-in-law was even worse off and was also lying down at this moment.
"I'll go talk to my father later."
The old lady only ate half a bowl of rice and drank a bowl of chicken soup before lying down. Liu Sheng was still a child. He was tired and slept and was full of energy. At this moment, he sat and ate heartily. Xin An turned and looked at him, "Can't you eat some vegetables?"
Yagyu's chopsticks were already close to the meat. He paused for a moment and silently picked up a small piece of vegetable leaf. The leaf seemed to weigh a thousand pounds and was finally buried in the rice and entered his mouth. Then the chopsticks moved towards the meat again.
Xin An sat opposite him, "Does your father also eat a lot of meat?"
Liu Sheng nodded, and Xin An asked again, "Is your father's Kung Fu very good?"
Liu Sheng nodded subconsciously, and then looked at Xin An warily. Xin An said, "When I first met you, you kowtowed to me. That kowtow was really nice and proper. And you came from the northwest. Is your father a general?"
Liu Sheng put down his chopsticks and seemed to want to run away. Xin An laughed and said, "You followed me all the way here, where do you want to run to?"
"If you run away, you may never be able to return to the capital. A chubby kid like you will be caught if you are alone. Those kidnappers will sell you to who knows where. If you dare not obey them, they will beat you. Those people are ruthless and will not show mercy."
Xin An looked at him with a smile. Although the carriage was shaking violently, it shook one thing out of her mind. In her previous life, Princess Yong'an returned to Beijing not long after the Northwest War. It was said that the princess went crazy and her son was lost.
The emperor offered a reward, and soon someone sent the child back to Beijing.
Although she had never seen it with her own eyes, she had also sighed and lamented. So was this Yagyu that child?
Liu Sheng didn't dare to run away, and sat obediently opposite Xin An. Xin An gestured for him to eat, "It won't taste good if it gets cold. You have to eat one leaf of vegetable for every two pieces of meat, or I won't let you eat meat starting tomorrow."
After saying that, he stood up and went to find Tang Gang to explain the old lady's intention. Tang Gang himself could not bear it, otherwise he could not say that he wanted to rest for a day. He thought that if he left first, he would have to leave some people behind to escort the two generations of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, which would weaken his guard. You know, he also brought 3 million taels of charity on this trip, as well as a lot of his gains in Huaijiang.
"Take a day off tomorrow. You don't have to travel all the time starting from the day after tomorrow. Increase your rest time on the road. Take good care of your grandmother."
"What is the identity of the child you are carrying?"
Xin An shook his head and said that he might take the child with him when he saw him. "I promised to give Aunt Cuiping a son before. At present, the two are still cultivating their relationship. If possible, I will raise the child in the mansion in the future."
Tang Gang always felt that it wasn't that simple, but he didn't say anything else.
As night fell, everything was quiet. Cuiping, who was sleeping with Liu Sheng, was awakened by a punch. When she woke up, she found Liu Sheng sleeping in the corner with his eyes closed, shouting and yelling, sometimes calling for his father and sometimes for his mother. Aunt Cuiping had to coax him to calm down. Looking at her sleeping face, Cuiping was full of confusion. For a moment, she didn't know whether bringing this child back to Beijing would bring disaster. "What's wrong with him?"

Xin An, who was sleeping next door, heard the noise and came over to see Cui Ping. Cui Ping told her about her worries. Xin An asked softly, "Aunt, you have been in the palace for many years. Do you remember what the princesses in the palace look like?"
"Young Madam suspects that this child is related to the princess in the palace?"
Xin An nodded, "My brother picked up this child on the way. He said he was from the northwest. He kowtowed to me that day, and then I remembered that he kowtowed the same way you taught me. My brother said that this child was very knowledgeable and he could tell that he came from a wealthy family. Then I remembered that there was a princess in the palace who was in the northwest."
"It's Princess Yong'an."
Cui Ping stood up, took the candlestick and looked at Liu Sheng's face carefully, then turned to Xin An and said, "When I first saw this child, I felt that she looked familiar. When Madam mentioned this, I remembered that she really looks a bit like Princess Yong An, especially her eyebrows and eyes."
"There has been a war in the northwest, but the prince consort has not sent any news back to the capital. I'm afraid something has happened. Don't mention this to anyone, and don't tell the old lady either."
With Cuiping's confirmation, Xin An had an idea. "The old lady is very tired. Starting tomorrow, don't let this child disturb the old lady's peace. When we go on the road, you take Liu Sheng and I in the same car."
Cuiping can see it, and the old lady might also be able to sense something. When the time comes, she will tell Tang Gang and pave the way for Tang Rong.
Cuiping knew the seriousness of the matter. The next morning, Xin An found Wang. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were absolutely united in some matters. Wang immediately said that she would personally serve the old lady in the next few days. "If this child is, you and the Xin family will have done a great deed; if not, we will do good deeds now and support him in the future."
"Don't worry about your father. I won't give him the chance to get involved. It's better not to let the old lady know about it."
