Chapter 284: Our ancestors were crazy and had a lot of trouble

Wu Lang brought Wang Duan to Feng Ying. Feng Ying saw Wang Duan was there and didn't want to scold Wu Lang.

He whispered, "I heard someone lost a child recently. You guys should be careful."

Wang Duan nodded and asked, "You heard about it too?"

Wu Lang said indifferently, "Mother, the traffickers only steal children. I am already this old, who would steal me? They can't raise me well."

Wang Duan said solemnly: "Don't tell me, it seems that it's not just the children. General Shen's only child, who is already seventeen years old, suddenly disappeared on the day of his wedding and has not been found yet."

"More than that. If you count it this way, in the past six months alone, five or six children have been lost among the noble families in Beijing."

With a population of millions in Chang'an, it was very common to see children being lost during festivals.

But it is not normal for a noble family to lose their child.

Wu Lang was very surprised: "Didn't you report it to the police? Who dares to steal the child of a noble family?"

When the time comes, we go to the emperor. He will order a thorough investigation. All the local tyrants in the north and south of the city will be in trouble. What do these human traffickers want?

Wang Duan shook his head regretfully and said, "I can't find it!"

"Some of them were not even lost at night, but were lost right in their own homes, and we couldn't find them no matter how hard we looked."

"There are only three people in Chang'an who are responsible for this crime. They have all been registered with the government. The government has already investigated and found that it was not them who did it."

This is strange.

The government couldn’t find anyone.

Feng Ying became more frightened as he listened, and held Li Jidao's hand tightly.

Wang Duan suddenly asked Feng Ying: "Aunt, can you find these children?"

Feng Ying: “…”

You've asked the right person.

She can’t find it. She doesn’t have that ability.

Feng Ying said: "Miss Jiao didn't come today, otherwise she might have found it."

After saying that, he looked at Li Jidao and wondered why this little girl didn't say anything about her thoughts today.

Li Jidao counted on his fingers and looked slightly stunned: [Why does it seem like this matter is still related to our Li family? ]

Feng Ying: [???

Could it be that our ancestors also stole other people’s children? 】

Goro: [? ?

I don't believe it, I don't believe it, Ah Jian, please don't scare people. 】

Li Jidao shook his head secretly: [My ancestors were really troublesome. ]

Feng Ying, Wu Lang: [What is it? Tell me.]

Song Jie had his perception turned on, and his guards, who were standing next to him in a row, heard it all.

Gu Changqing looked at Song Jie in surprise: What do you mean? Is the Li family still a family of human traffickers?

Of course Song Jie didn't understand either.

He could only guarantee one thing, that the Li family was not.

Whose family has fewer people as they sell more? In the end, they all die out?

Everyone was puzzled and frowned.

If this state and expression happened somewhere else, it would be understandable, but walking on the street, with the prince taking the lead in pulling the queue, and everyone looking like they were preoccupied, and their sleeves were connected, the picture was a bit weird.

Cui Chengfeng took two steps and looked back at them, his brows tightly knitted together.

He wondered what on earth were they doing?

I will never do this with my subordinates in my entire life.

Is this why Song Jie and I are so incompatible?

…………

Everyone was finally invited into the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion.

If it were a normal banquet, Feng Ying would talk to the ladies he was familiar with.

But today, he and Song Jie were directly invited by King Wu's men to the hall where King Wu was.

In addition to the two of them, there were also some people from the Chen family, the Xie family, the Wang family, and the Cui family.

Even Chen Jiaoniang is here.

Feng Ying took Li Jidao and Wang Duan to sit next to Chen Jiaoniang. Feng Ying asked, "Why didn't I know you were coming?"

Chen Jiaoniang said, "Prince Wu asked me to come."

Although Chen Jiaoniang was only one person and unknown, she was also taken in by King Wu.

They were afraid that the King of Qi would get there first.

Now, the two princes are trying to grab the talents of not only the children of aristocratic families but also the registered masters with some ability, which shows how fierce the competition between the two is.

Wang Duan thought, isn't Chen Jiaoniang here? I'll find a place for her to settle the matter of the lost child later.

On King Wu's side, the people who were following him greeted each of them one by one.

Soon Li Jidao and Feng Ying arrived.

Li Jidao's face was still covered with a veil. She now looked more and more like himself.

In order to avoid any unnecessary trouble, I still wore it.

King Wu did not blame her or Feng Ying for not taking off her veil.

He seemed very interested in Li Jidao and asked Feng Ying: "Can she speak? What can she do for herself?"

Feng Ying said: "My daughter is not talented, but she can do everything."

Prince Wu opened his mouth slightly, and was naturally stunned by Feng Ying's answer, which showed that he didn't believe Feng Ying's answer at all.

After all, he is a prince, and his mistake was just blinking.

He quickly recovered and nodded, "That's good."

Then he asked his servant to give Li Ji a jade bracelet and said, "Grandmother said that sister Ajian is like her granddaughter, so Ajian is really my sister. Just consider it as a token of your brother's love."

Feng Ying didn't want to accept it in the first place, but now it's not a question of not wanting to accept it.

She was wondering what King Wu was saying.

He is a prince, the emperor's son, how can he recognize a sister casually?

If this gets out, it will have a significant impact on Li Jidao, right?

I can't say whether it's good or bad, it's quite abrupt anyway.

But with so many people, we have no choice but to accept them.

Feng Ying took Li Jidao to thank King Wu.

Prince Wu smiled and said, "She's my own sister, what's there to thank me for? Aunt Feng, you're really worried too much."

He remained gentle.

Only then did Li Jidao look straight at King Wu.

He looks three parts like the emperor and seven parts like Concubine Gao, so he is handsome and handsome yet masculine.

Her expression is gentler and much more pleasing to the eye than Song Yun.

Li Jidao nodded secretly: [It’s not a big loss to marry her. After all, she is not as good as the peony. ]

Gu Changqing: Isn’t the peony flower the prince in my family?

As expected, people may not have the same understanding of ugliness.

But everyone appreciates beauty.

Not every woman is worthy of the prince.

Fang Heming: What did I miss? Why can’t I understand what they are talking about when they talk about peony flowers?

Chang Sun Zhan: I know they are very lively now, but I can't go there.

Song Jie: “…”

There are so many people listening, why not say a few more words about the peony flower?

Feng Ying was somewhat dissatisfied: [Ah Jian, you should know that the prince is unique in the world, you can't expect such high standards from others, so you should choose the prince and stop looking around.]

Song Jie nodded secretly: Just listen to my mother-in-law.

Gu Changqing and Fang Heming: I didn’t expect that the first hurdle the prince had to overcome was his mother-in-law.

As everyone was talking, a woman came out with a child in her arms to meet everyone.

The woman in the lead was of medium build. Although she was not a beauty, she was pretty to eat. She held the child in her arms. Her movements were gentle but powerful, and her eyes were calm and happy. Li Jidao had seen that kind of look when looking at a child in Feng Ying's eyes.

Needless to say, this person is Fu Yunxi's wife Sun Wanfang.
