"Auntie makes money? How does she make it?"
Old Wu looked at Fan Tiancheng with puzzled eyes. How could his aunt, who had always relied on taking advantage of others, earn so much money in such a short time? There must be some hidden secret.
Fan Tiancheng clicked his tongue a few times and shook his head.
"Let's not talk about this anymore."
"Uncle, is there something you're hesitant to tell me? It's only been a few days since you last came here. How did my aunt, a woman, get the money? I hope she didn't do anything illegal."
Fan Tiancheng rubbed his feet nervously on the ground and decided to tell the story of An An. Otherwise, he would have no way to explain when his eldest sister and her family arrived in Fanjiatun and saw the child.
So, he told them about a man in black they had met on the road a few days ago, who not only handed a little girl over to them, but also gave them 100 taels of silver and a carriage...
Before he could finish his words, Old Wu couldn't wait to ask:
"Uncle, what did you say? A little girl? How old is she?"
"I didn't ask. He was probably about six or seven years old."
"What's her name? Is it An An?"
Fan Tiancheng looked at him in surprise, his mouth wide open for a long time. Old Wu couldn't wait to ask again:
"Tell me, is his name An An?"
"Well...I think so. No, her name is Ni Xiaohong, which is your aunt's last name."
Old Wu was stunned for a moment as if he had thought of something, then he said seriously:
"Uncle, I'm afraid you haven't heard about the disappearance of the second daughter of Prince Yu's family in the capital? I suspect that the little girl you brought home is very likely the second daughter of Prince Yu's mansion."
"What?"
Fan Tiancheng was frightened by Old Wu's words and took two steps back. He stared and asked in horror:
"You said... Xiaohong might be from Prince Yu's Mansion?"
"Her name is An An, not Xiao Hong."
"Yes, An An, the man in black did call her An An..."
Thinking of this, Fan Tiancheng's face turned pale with fear, and Old Wu also kept clapping his hands.
"Uncle, you're in trouble this time. You've locked up the people in Prince Yu's Mansion. Prince Yu is the regent of the current Daning Kingdom. He's second only to the emperor and above everyone else. To offend him is the same as to offend the emperor. I advise you to go back now and send the child back to Prince Yu's Mansion, otherwise... otherwise you'll be in trouble."
Old Wu’s words really scared Fan Tiancheng.
Even if he was given a hundred heads, he would not dare to offend the people in Prince Yu's Mansion.
He hesitated for a moment with a look of fear on his face, and suddenly grabbed Old Wu as if he was grabbing a life-saving straw.
"You have to save us. We didn't know that the child was from Prince Yu's Mansion. You have to help us."
"Uncle, there's no time to lose. Let's stop talking here. Go back and take a look. Send her back to Prince Yu's Mansion as soon as possible. Don't hurt her or touch the child. Maybe Prince Yu won't blame us."
As they were talking, the two of them rushed out of the west wing. Daya looked at their anxious expressions and couldn't help but rolled her eyes and cursed:
"Did you see a ghost? You're so scared."
Fan Tiancheng's face turned dark green, and he waved to Daya hurriedly.
"Hurry, go home, something happened."
"What happened? Your tail got caught in the door. What's the big deal?"
"Oh, stop talking nonsense, we are in big trouble this time."
Seeing that Fan Tiancheng didn't seem to be joking, Daya and Old Wu's mother looked at Old Wu together and asked in confusion:
"What happened?"
Old Wu then sighed and said anxiously:
"Aunt, my uncle just told me that you picked up a little girl on the way home a few days ago. I suspect that little girl is the lost second daughter of Prince Yu's Mansion. Now you should go back quickly and bring the child to Prince Yu's Mansion to confess your crime. Perhaps Prince Yu and Princess Yu will be kind and won't blame you. Otherwise, Prince Yu will punish you for the crime of trafficking royal children and grandchildren, and you will suffer the consequences."
Hearing what Old Wu said, Daya opened her mouth in surprise and couldn't close it for a long time.
Fan Tiancheng was urging anxiously,
"Hurry up and go home to check. How dare we lock up the second young lady of Prince Yu's Mansion at home? This is a matter of life and death."
Old Mrs. Wu also nodded in agreement.
"Yes, Prince Yu and Princess Yu are both good people. Their child is missing, and the entire capital is helping to look for him. Are you unaware of this, or are you pretending to be stupid?"
Daya was so frightened that her face turned pale and she slapped her thigh.
"I know about the child missing from Prince Yu's mansion, I...why didn't I think of it? It can't be...it can't be such a coincidence, right?"
Seeing Daya talking to herself, Fan Tianwan angrily scolded her.
"Of course not. I just think there's no such thing as a free lunch. That man in black, with his face covered, is obviously not a good person. I told you not to do such a wicked thing, but you refused to listen. Now you're in trouble. Let's see what you're going to do now?"
"How can you blame me for this? Don't you have a share? Don't your eyes light up when you see the silver?"
"Hmph! When did my eyes sparkle? I only took a look at the silver, and you, like a poor man who got a piece of nugget gold, hid it somewhere. You woman, will get into trouble sooner or later. I tell you, if Prince Yu's Mansion blames you for this, you will bear the responsibility alone."
Daya sat there with a pout, her face as pale as paper, not knowing what to do.
Seeing that the two of them were arguing endlessly, Old Wu impatiently urged them to
"What's the point of you arguing? As long as the child is fine and you send him back to Prince Yu's Mansion safely, Prince Yu won't blame you..."
