The next morning, Leng Ming came to pick up the three children as expected, and he drove the car himself.
Seeing the three children waving goodbye to her happily like three little rabbits, Luo Lan climbed onto the carriage and said to Xiao Lingzi and Zhang Yuan beside her:
"Go! Escort them to Prince Ming's Mansion."
She was still reeling from the assassination attempt that had just happened yesterday, and she didn't want her children to be in any danger again.
Leng Ming drove the carriage slowly, fearing that if he went too fast he would hurt the children.
After walking for a while, he stopped the carriage in front of a pastry shop, then opened the curtain door, picked up the children one by one, and walked happily towards the pastry shop with them.
Xiao Lingzi and Zhang Yuan, who were hiding in the dark, did not dare to relax for a moment. They looked around vigilantly, fearing that a stranger would appear.
At this moment, Fang Qiu came over with a chicken in one hand and a piece of meat in the other.
"My husband, my husband."
When she saw Xiao Lingzi, she greeted him enthusiastically and shouted, "Husband, what a coincidence! I met you here?"
Xiao Lingzi frowned and looked at her, then walked up to her and pulled her to his side, asking in a low voice:
"What are you yelling about? Go home."
Fang Qiu pouted and glared at him unwillingly, "Didn't you see I was holding something? Take me back."
"No, I'm busy."
"What's up? I see you're just hiding here to enjoy the cool air, just wanting to be lazy."
"Stop making trouble and go back quickly."
Xiao Lingzi pulled Fang Qiu impatiently. Fang Qiu refused to give in. She threw the chicken and meat in her hands directly to the ground, put her hands on her hips, and glared at him fiercely.
"You dare to fight with me? I'll tell her later and let her make the decision for me."
Seeing this scene, Zhang Yuan stood aside and laughed in a mocking tone:
"Brother Ling, why don't you send your sister-in-law back first? I'm here."
Xiao Lingzi said sternly with a frown on his face:
"No, we can't be careless. Go home quickly."
"I don't……"
Fang Qiu still pouted and acted arrogantly. At the same time, Leng Ming came out of the pastry shop with three children. Just as they were about to get on the carriage, there was a sudden bustle in front of them. People ran towards that direction, and some of them shouted as they ran.
"There's something exciting going on ahead, go check it out."
"I heard there's a monkey that can jump through a ring of fire. Let's go check it out."
Hearing this, An An was the first to raise his hand.
"Uncle, I want to see the monkeys."
Huaiyu and Lele also looked at Leng Ming with eager eyes, "Uncle, we want to see the monkeys too."
Leng Ming said coldly, "
"No, there are too many people in front, I can't keep an eye on the three of you. Besides, we agreed before that I would bring you here to buy your favorite cakes, so you have to be obedient."
Seeing that he was a little angry, the three children rushed to his side, hugged his legs, and kept discussing.
"Uncle, please, just take a look."
"An An has never seen a monkey. I really want to see one."
"Le Le wants to go too. Please, uncle, we promise not to run around."
Leng Ming looked down at the three little children. Their three pairs of big eyes blinked at him. He really couldn't bear to reject them like this.
He looked up at the crowd gathered in a circle in the distance and said through gritted teeth:
"Okay, Lele, ride on uncle's neck, An'an and Huaiyu hold my hands, and we'll take a look, okay?"
"That's great, that's great."
The three children clapped happily together. After Leng Ming squatted down, Lele climbed onto his shoulders. After he stood up, Huaiyu and Anan each held one of his hands and walked towards the crowd.
Here, Fang Qiu was still fuming with Xiao Lingzi. Zhang Yuan, who was busy watching the two quarreling, suddenly realized that the four people were gone. He screamed in panic.
"Oh no, where are the people?"
Hearing his shout, Xiao Lingzi's expression suddenly became nervous. He looked warily at the empty carriage, then looked around...
"Brother Ling, will you take me home or not? I really can't walk anymore..."
Fang Qiu was still throwing tantrums and making trouble. Xiao Lingzi pointed at her with gritted teeth and said angrily:
"If anything happens today, I'll never forgive you."
After saying this, he pulled Fang Qiuba aside with all his strength, yelled "Get out of here", and followed Zhang Yuan, running quickly towards the carriage.
Confused, Fang Qiu looked at Xiao Lingzi's back, pursed her nose in annoyance, picked up her chicken and pork from the ground, and walked home humming a little song.
More and more people gathered in front to watch the excitement. Xiao Lingzi and Zhang Yuan, who couldn't find anyone, also ran towards the crowd.
Lele, who was riding on Leng Ming's neck, kept shouting,
"Brother, sister, look, that little monkey can really go through the fire ring, can't you see it?"
Hearing this, Huaiyu and Anan became a little anxious. They no longer cared about what they had promised their uncle. They broke free from Leng Ming's hands, passed through the wall of people, and squeezed into the crowd.
Leng Ming was getting anxious. He squeezed into the crowd and called out:
"Huaiyu, An'an, stop running around, come back, come back."
But the two children could no longer hear his shouts. They were crowded among a group of adults, watching the monkey show with great interest.
When Xiao Lingzi and Zhang Yuan came to Leng Ming, Leng Ming pointed at the crowd and said anxiously:
"Hurry, Huaiyu and An'an are inside, go check them out, don't get squeezed in."
Hearing this, Xiao Lingzi and Zhang Yuan did not dare to delay and quickly squeezed into the crowd. However, after looking around, they could not see any trace of the two children.
They came back to Leng Ming and asked anxiously:
"Where are they? There are no children in there."
Hearing this, Leng Ming's face turned pale and he stood there in a daze. Seeing this, Xiao Lingzi and Zhang Yuan continued to look for him everywhere.
However, even after all the people who were watching the excitement had evacuated, there was still no sign of the two children.
Zhang Yuan, who suddenly felt that something was wrong, hurriedly took Lele back to inform Luo Lan. Xiao Lingzi went to inform Lord Yu of Shuntian Prefecture, while Leng Ming continued to look for people on the street.
Luo Lan felt as if she had been struck by lightning when she heard the news. She stood up from her chair like crazy and questioned Zhang Yuan:
"I was afraid something might happen, so I asked you to protect them in secret. How could they get lost? How do you do your job?"
Zhang Yuan lowered his eyes, clenched his fists in self-blame, and didn't know what to do.
Liu Dechang, who happened to arrive, was furious when he heard the news. However, he had experienced many ups and downs, so he quickly regained his composure. After thinking for a while, he quickly waved his arms and shouted:
"What's the point of arguing now? Send someone to find him."
