Not long after, Mianmian flew back, leaned close to Xiaoshuangbao's ear, and told her everything she had overheard.
Xiao Shuangbao was suddenly speechless.
She said nothing, just listened to the sound of horse hooves and sat quietly thinking.
Jiangnan is known as a water town, and there is a river in the city that leads directly to the outside.
So it is called lake cruise, but in fact it is just taking a boat in the city and traveling around the city.
After arriving at the location, Zhao Qiqi intimately took Xiao Shuangbao's hand and introduced the people who came to play together today. Just as Zhao Qiqi said, those who came were young men and women of similar age. The oldest was only eleven years old, and the youngest was five or six years old.
By this calculation, Xiao Shuangbao is the youngest among them.
In addition to the people from the Wang family of Langya, the people who came today were the Jiangnan noble family of Du, Zhao Qiqi, and the concubines of the Jiangnan Palace.
At this moment, a group of half-grown children were staring at Xiao Shuangbao with curious eyes.
They were all children, and they were followed by either maids or guards from various families.
As the organizer of today's trip, Zhao Qiqi will be responsible for arranging the boat ride later.
"Let's take a boat with the little princess."
At this time, a young boy in his early teens from the Du family suddenly spoke.
The young boy is called Du Ling, and he is the legitimate son of Du Chensheng, the eldest son of the Du family.
Following behind him were his two half brothers and one half sister, all of whom were children. Together with little Shuangbao, it was just right for them to ride in the same boat.
Little Shuangbao glanced at him.
"Why do you want to be with this princess?"
she asked suddenly.
Du Ling was stunned, as if he didn't expect that she, who looked so obedient and soft, would ask such a question at this time.
But Du Ling quickly realized what was happening and said with a smile, "The little princess may not have remembered. Your aunt, Mrs. Du, is my biological aunt. The Du and Su families are related by marriage, so I wanted to ride on the same boat with the little princess so that I can take care of her on the way."
The young boy already has the temperament of a gentleman at such a young age.
At this moment, there was a bright smile on the handsome little face, looking innocent and naive.
Xiao Shuangbao looked at him and pursed his lips.
"Okay."
She responded in a calm tone.
Du Ling frowned quickly. What's the point?
But he didn't ask any questions.
Soon, everyone got on their boats and began to travel along the river and around the city.
Jiangnan is very beautiful.
Houses are built on both sides of the river, with green tiles and white walls. Flowers bloom from time to time, creating a soothing and pleasant scenery.
Little Shuangbao was soon immersed in such beauty and exquisiteness.
Du Ling stood behind her, looking at her silently, with one hand in his sleeve, gradually clenching into a fist.
It was this little princess who killed his dearest aunt!
At this time, several ships arrived at the most bustling and prosperous area in Jiangnan City.
There are bustling streets on both sides of the river, and the sounds of hawking are endless.
This is the area where the most people in the city gather.
It was at this time that Du Ling glanced at his half-sister Du Yan'er.
The concubine sister Du Yaner's face turned pale and her lips trembled, but she thought of something, took a deep breath, and immediately walked towards Xiao Shuangbao.
"Little Princess, I have something to tell you..."
Du Yan'er was speaking when she saw Xiao Shuangbao looking at her with a puzzled expression. She suddenly grabbed Xiao Shuangbao's hand and shouted, "Little Princess, I know I'm wrong. I shouldn't wear the same color clothes as you. Please calm down and don't kill me! Ah——"
As she said this, she screamed, suddenly stood up, and leaned her body under the boat!
Du Yan'er still held Xiao Shuangbao's hand tightly with one hand.
In the eyes of the crowd on the surrounding shore who were following the news, the two girls looked like two little girls wearing exactly the same clothes quarreling with each other. So, one of them, who was called the little princess, was going to cruelly push the other into the river and drown her?
Recently, everyone in Jiangnan City knew that Emperor Chengxuan was coming on a southern tour, and he was accompanied by Princess Lingfu, whom he was said to be very fond of.
Could this be it?
But why is she so cruel?
Just as everyone was frowning and watching Du Yan'er about to fall off the boat, Xiao Shuangbao suddenly grabbed Du Yan'er's hand and lifted her up with one hand. He actually moved Du Yan'er from the side of the boat to the safest place in the middle...
This reversal of scenes left everyone around stunned for a moment.
Several ships also stopped at this time.
When Du Ling saw that the plan had gone wrong, his eyes changed.
"Why are you framing this princess?"
At this time, Xiao Shuangbao held Du Yan'er down with one hand, and said in a soft voice with a sense of authority and coldness, "Is it because your aunt died because of me?"
When she said it so bluntly, the faces of the Du family children on the boat all changed.
Soon, Du Ling smiled coldly.
There is no one else on this boat, so what do they have to be afraid of?
"Don't you deserve to die? Your father may be a god of war, but your uncle is nothing but a loser who only knows how to eat, drink, gamble, and whore. My aunt married him, which was already a low marriage! It's bad enough that you treated her badly, but you actually killed her while she was pregnant! You are so cruel and ruthless, don't you deserve to die!"
Du Ling immediately lowered his voice and questioned in an annoyed tone.
"Pregnant? Do you know what your aunt is pregnant with?"
However, Xiao Shuangbao spoke in a sarcastic tone.
Du Ling looked at her with a frown.
The next moment, Xiao Shuangbao took out a small golden hollow cage from his waist.
There was a furry, long-haired ball in a small cage.
Du Ling looked at the long-haired white ball, then at Little Frost Treasure, his face full of confusion.
"Look carefully, what is in your aunt's belly!"
As Xiao Shuangbao spoke, he raised his hand and let the little fur ball out.
The little ball of fur was tiny, but once it landed on the ground, its body started to grow bigger and bigger...
This scene shocked Du Ling and the others so much that they were completely stunned!
It wasn't until the little fur ball grew to the size of a big dog that it yawned lazily and said, "Shuangbao, little fur ball is so hungry, is there anything to eat?"
When Du Ling and the others heard that it could actually talk, they were so scared that their faces turned pale.
"T-This is...a monster!"
But the question is, how could there really be monsters in the world!
"This is not a monster."
Little Shuangbao had a blank expression on his face. While asking Mianmian to give the food she had brought to Little Maotuan, he said in a flat tone, "This is the 'child' your aunt is carrying. It's called Little Maotuan. According to seniority, shouldn't you call it your cousin?"
"How is this possible! My aunt is a human! How could she possibly give birth to this...this kind of thing..."
Du Ling said with a pale face.
"This princess is telling the truth."
