Chapter 271 Swaddling
evening.
A rainstorm took away the summer heat.
The convoy arrived at Linshui Town before dark.
It's a pretty big town with a lot of traffic and people coming and going.
They only stopped in large towns because the inns were too small to accommodate them all.
I originally thought that the big inn in Linshui Town could accommodate them.
After a long journey, the female members of the family wanted to find a place to bathe and change clothes. Living in the wild all the time, the guards could take a bath in the wild, but the female members would not allow it.
This is a matter of great importance concerning one's reputation and no one dares to take it lightly, especially since the danger has not been eliminated.
Lu Qingyao didn't even allow her youngest daughter, Miaomiao.
This made Jiang Miaomiao uncomfortable, and she missed her big soft bed and bathtub even more.
As soon as I arrived at the inn, a waiter came to ask, "Sir, do you want to stop by or stay the night?"
"Is there any room available in the hotel?" Liuyun asked.
The waiter was about to say yes when he looked out and saw a huge black convoy outside the inn.
He swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth and changed his words, "Yes, there is, but it can't accommodate so many people."
Liuyun asked and found out that in the past few days, the number of merchants and customers coming from the south has suddenly increased, more than ever before.
Although they could stay in other inns, Liuyun and Captain Sun insisted on staying in one inn, taking turns to guard and protect their family, and they were also willing to stay in the woodshed.
Lu Qingyao didn't know what to say.
At night, Jiang Miaomiao took a hot bath, changed into a set of fragrant underwear, and lay comfortably on the soft pillow, listening to her mother and aunt chatting.
Then I heard my mother say to my aunt, "Xiu Xiu, I feel like something big is about to happen in the capital."
"Big deal? It can't be the prince..." Xiuxiu lowered her voice.
Rumors said that the prince was weak and sickly, but only they knew that he was actually poisoned.
Who knows when it will be gone, and then there will be another bloody storm.
Although being born into the royal family means enjoying endless wealth and splendor, one also lives in fear.
Thinking about King Jing, she now suspected that someone had deliberately caused her master's disappearance three years ago.
Otherwise, how could the secret guards search all over the country without finding any trace of him?
How much he hates the queen that he would treat her like that.
Lu Qingyao raised her eyes and said, "It shouldn't be. If it was the prince, Liuyun might have been unable to sit still by now."
"That's right. Hasn't he secretly sent the female doctor to the capital? Calculating the date, if they go by water, they should arrive in the next few days."
"Well, let's go and ask around tomorrow morning."
Little Miaomiao, whose eyelids had been drooping, suddenly opened her eyes.
The doctor is still alive.
He actually escaped Jiujiu's detection.
Liuyun is amazing.
Come to think of it, that female doctor is such an important witness, maybe she can even detoxify.
It would be too hasty to just die like that.
Little Miaomiao woke up from her nap, rubbed her eyes and sat up, wanting to see what her mother and aunt were doing.
She climbed out of bed, put on her shoes, and ran over. "Mom, what are you doing?"
She saw her mother and aunt sorting clothes, and they just happened to sort hers.
After putting a sachet in the box, she folded her little skirts and put them in one by one. She probably took them out and rearranged them because she was afraid they would get moldy or buggy.
However, a piece of something with a colorful and shiny outer layer caught her attention.
She stretched out her little hand and tugged at it, "Is this my new dress?"
It feels like cloud brocade satin.
Although she rarely wears clothes made of such expensive fabrics, she can still tell the difference between good and bad fabrics.
Princess Jiayue and Prince Liang often wear such fabrics.
Princess Liang also gave a few horses to A-niang.
Could it be that my mother made the cloth into clothes?
But when I looked at it again, I felt that the fabric looked familiar. It seemed that I had seen it in Taoxi Village, but I couldn't remember what it was used for.
Only then did Lu Qingyao notice the swaddling clothes in her daughter's hands. She was stunned for a moment and quickly stuffed a corner of the cloth back.
"Miaomiao, that's not clothes..."
"Sister, you don't want to give Miaomiao a surprise, do you? Then pack it up and wear it when you return to the capital." Seeing that her sister looked a little panicked, Xiuxiu thought of this explanation.
After all, we will soon arrive in the capital, a place where people respect their clothes before their loved ones.
Xiuxiu hurriedly helped her put the clothes back into the box and sent the little girl to bed.
Jiang Miaomiao didn't ask any more questions, but she felt that her mother looked strange.
He seemed very nervous and afraid that she would see the cloth.
Lu Qingyao tightened her grip on the swaddling clothes. If she hadn't found it today, she would have almost forgotten its existence.
She was actually very conflicted.
As a mother, she is selfish and doesn't want Miaomiao to know her life experience at all. She just hopes that she will be happy and healthy throughout her life.
She was also afraid that Miaomiao would go back to investigate and look for her biological parents.
Afraid that she would leave him one day.
But from Miaomiao's perspective, she must be very curious about who her biological parents are and why she was ruthlessly abandoned in the forest.
If it were her, she would also want to know where she came from.
This night.
Lu Qingyao couldn't sleep all night, tossing and turning.
Should I tell Miaomiao about my past? When should I tell her?
It was not until four o'clock in the morning, looking at my daughter sleeping like a pig in my arms, that I suddenly felt that I was worrying too much.
As long as it's good for Miaomiao and the little one is happy, she can do anything.
After figuring it out, she hugged her daughter and fell into a deep sleep.
Little Miaomiao had no idea that her mother had lost sleep because of her. To her, the present was the most important thing.
The ancients attached great importance to one's origin, family, parents, and surname.
They all determine a person's destiny in life.
Some people were born into royal or wealthy families and were already in Rome from birth.
Some people are born into slave families, and from birth they are slaves who are driven around by others and bought and sold like commodities.
Let alone going to Rome, even thinking about it seemed out of reach.
She thinks everything is fine now.
If her parents were of low status or slavery, her dream of becoming a rich and idle person would be shattered.
In her previous life, she had a broken family.
I grew up under the care of my grandmother.
Later on, her grandmother also passed away.
She made videos of herself cooking and became a famous food blogger, just to help children like her.
Let there be someone to hold an umbrella for those children on their journey of growth.
Just like the uncles and aunts who had helped her before.
But the Internet is a magical and terrifying existence. It can bring you fame and fortune, but it can also push you into the abyss.
The screen is full of slander, abuse, misunderstanding, and wild speculation.
There will no longer be any light in her world, and she will no longer have the courage to live alone in that world.
Now, she found the maternal love that she had never experienced in her two lifetimes in her mother.
There is her loving mother, her elder and second brothers, her aunt, and in the near future, her grandparents...
Being together as a family is enough.
She is very satisfied.
As for your background and everything else, just let it go with the flow.
