Jiang Si couldn't understand how Elder Hua knew that the woman who suddenly appeared in the shop that day was the Princess of Yan, when Elder Hua and Nanny Duo had never met again.

After hearing what Jiang Si said, Elder Hua said calmly, "Just like the princess has many questions that she doesn't want to answer, I don't want to answer this question."

Jiang Si smiled and said, "In that case, I won't force you to do anything. Elder Hua, please follow me back to the palace."

Elder Hua did not move.

Jiang Si raised his eyebrows: "Elder Hua, do you want me to follow you south like this?"

Elder Hua hesitated for a moment, then raised her hand to put on her hood, which just covered the upper half of her face, making it impossible to see her features.

"Let's go." The old man's cold voice sounded.

Jiang Sixian turned around and walked out.

Ah Man was delighted when he saw Jiang Si coming out: "Master——"

Jiang Si shook his head slightly: "No need to say more, go back home first."

Long Dan saw Elder Hua coming out and put his hand on the scabbard.

"Long Dan, don't make things difficult for her. She will go back to the palace with me."

"Princess, but she——"

Ah Man rolled his eyes at Long Dan and said, "Well, our master has to follow his orders. Stop talking."

Long Dan was so choked that he touched his nose and thought to himself, who am I being so careful for? This little girl has absolutely no sense of good intentions.

Besides the people brought by Long Dan, those waiting outside the temple were Lu Chuchu, Xiu Niangzi and the servants. As for the servant who led the way, he had been sent back when they reached the foot of the mountain.

This way, there is no need to worry about Elder Hua's whereabouts being exposed.

Jiang Si said, "Long Dan, send someone to Meiyuan to call Aqiao and the others back. We will go directly back to the palace."

Although she had made up her mind to follow Elder Hua south, she couldn't just leave like that, as there were too many things to plan and arrange.

The group returned to the city, and Lu Chuchu said, "Princess, I will take Lady Xiu and the others back to Lu Shengxiang."

Looking at the exhausted Xiu Niangzi, Jiang Si felt sorry and said, "Xiu Niangzi has suffered a lot. I will arrange two guards to go over and take charge of the safety of Lushengxiang people."

After bidding farewell to Lu Chuchu and the others, Jiang Si hurried back to the palace and told Ah Man to arrange for Elder Hua to stay in the guest room while he went to see his daughter first.

Having not seen her mother for half a day, Ah Huan squinted and felt aggrieved when she saw Jiang Si.

Half-year-old Ah Huan has already begun to become attached to his mother.

Jiang Si felt sad when he saw this, and hurriedly took his daughter from the wet nurse to comfort her.

Ah Huan came into his mother's arms, smelled the familiar scent, and smiled with his mouth showing a toothy smile. He fell asleep soon after.

"Princess, let me hold the little princess. She has gained weight recently." The wet nurse reached out to take the child.

"No need to change hands." Jiang Si carefully put Ah Huan on the bed and stayed with him for a while, waiting until the child fell asleep before leaving.

When I walked out of the compartment, the biting cold wind blew on my face, like a knife cutting.

It was the month of July, when the weather was freezing cold, and if she went south, she might not be able to come back in a short time.

Will Ah Huan cry?

Or when she comes back, she has already forgotten her mother?

Thinking of this, Jiang felt as if his heart was being cut by a knife.

Elder Hua was waiting in the guest room, his heart beating fast.

What if the other party regrets it?

She is still a fugitive at the moment, so who knows if Princess Yan will not hand her over directly to Jinlinwei.

There are some risks that Jiang Si has to take, and the same is true for Elder Hua.

When Elder Hua was feeling anxious, Jiang Si pushed the door open and walked in: "Sorry to have kept you waiting, Elder Hua."

Elder Hua stood up and said something polite.

The two of them sat opposite each other, and only after the maid served tea and left did they start talking.

"Why is my second brother in Wu Miao?"

"A saint candidate from my clan went out and rescued a seriously injured man. When the man woke up and told us his identity, we found out that he was the second son of the Duke of Dongping and the elder brother of the Princess of Yan."

Jiang Si raised his eyebrows, his tone was indistinguishable: "So, Wu Miao saved my second brother's life?"

"It was just a coincidence."

Jiang Si pursed his lips and sneered secretly.

Elder Hua bullied her because she was from the Great Zhou and didn't know much about the Wu Miao people, but he didn't know that she had lived in the Wu Miao people in her previous life.

Wu Miao women are respected, and women who can become candidates for saints are even more respected. They will not leave the tribe when they have free time. Even if they go out, they will not bring men back casually.

It can't be that the candidate saint was attracted by the handsome second brother?

Although he did not rule out this possibility, Jiang Si still had doubts about what Elder Hua said.

She didn't show it on her face, but she knitted her brows slightly and said hesitantly, "My second brother's name is on the list of fallen soldiers in the Great Zhou Dynasty, but Elder Hua said that my second brother is still alive. Frankly speaking, a purse is not enough for me to believe it..."

"There's also this." Elder Hua took out another thing and handed it to Jiang Si.

That's a shoe.

Jiang Si's eyes flickered slightly, and he said in a lost voice: "Are the shoes I made for my second brother also here?"

Elder Hua was stunned for a moment, then suddenly laughed: "Princess, you are so careful. These shoes are your brother's, but they were not made by you, but by your sister. These words were said by your brother himself."

Jiang Si also smiled: "Such an important matter should be handled with caution. Now I believe my brother is still alive."

She secretly gritted her teeth, thinking that if it was really her second brother who told these people, she would give him a good beating when she saw him.

And now, of course, she wouldn't completely believe what the other party said.

The purse that the second brother wore was a gift from her, and the shoes he wore were made by the eldest sister. Although these things were private, it was possible for them to be known by outsiders.

When Elder Hua heard Jiang Si say this, he smiled more relaxedly.

I have to say that the Princess of Yan is very difficult to deal with. She is so cautious and careful. No wonder I almost frightened her at first, thinking that the Saint had really come to the capital. If it weren’t for what happened later—

Elder Hua was just thinking about it when the person opposite him suddenly turned cold.

Jiang Si put the teacup on the table and said in a cold tone: "Although I temporarily believed what Elder Hua said, I said something ugly at the beginning."

"Princess, please speak."

"If I am just happy for nothing, Elder Hua, don't blame me for destroying Wu Miao—"

"How outrageous!" Elder Hua blurted out, his face turning blue.

Even the Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty did not dare to say such words, so how dare a little princess be so threatening!

At this moment, Elder Hua was indeed annoyed by Jiang Si's arrogance.

Jiang Si smiled and said, "That's why I said the ugly words in advance. Of course, for me, everyone is happy."

Elder Hua stared at the pretty face that looked exactly like the saint's but was very changeable, and suddenly felt a little confused.

This time they are taking a risk, can they really get what they want?

Jiang Si had been observing Elder Hua's expression, noticing the subtle changes in his facial expressions and understanding what was going on.

I'm afraid this trip to Wu Miao is easier said than done, and it's definitely not as simple as the other party says.

But she said straightforwardly: "Elder Hua, have a good rest, we will set out tomorrow."
